Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

But Mourinho's actions were quickly punished.

Or rather, his control over his own team needs to be strengthened, and his players don't know him well enough.

The conflict between Mourinho and Ronaldo has even affected the performance of their players on the field.

During Deng Kai's preparation for the free kick, frequent clashes occurred between attacking and defending players on the edge of Porto's penalty area, prompting the referee to blow his whistle multiple times to mediate.

This can cause defensive players to lose focus or concentrate too much on certain players.

boom!

Deng Kai took a tactical free kick, something the overconfident Porto hadn't anticipated.

Guardiola delivered a 45-degree cross from beside Deng Kai, sending the ball into the penalty area.

Drogba, Ronaldo, Kaká, and others were closely marked.

But Vidic's great height advantage was left undefended.

boom!

Vidic headed the ball without even jumping.

The shot was powerful and heavy, and the football smashed directly into the goal.

Vidic was very excited.

His move to Sporting Lisbon from a relatively unknown, unofficial league drew considerable skepticism.

But now, this current "Yugoslavian," future "Serbian and Montenegrin," and "Serbian" has finally proven himself.

Like Stankovic, who played for Inter Milan, he is one of the few players in the future of world football who has played for three different national teams.

The only one better than them in this respect is their national team predecessor, Savo Milosevic.

Milosevic played for the Yugoslavian national team before the country's disintegration, while Vidic and the other two initially played for the Yugoslavian national team after the disintegration of the country.

"3-1! Sporting Lisbon has extended its lead again."

"Now the difficult question is for Mourinho: how will he handle this situation?"

"Substitution, Mourinho is making substitutions."

"Mourinho used up all his substitutions in one go! He made three substitutions in a row!"

"This is... center forward Almeida has replaced midfielder Alenichev! Jardel, Postiga... this is a three-man striker lineup!"

"Porto is going to fight tooth and nail!"

On the other side, Sporting Lisbon also made a substitution.

It's clear that Triglav felt the team still had room for improvement, which is why he made substitutions when they were leading.

Pepe replaced Kaka.

This substitution undoubtedly demonstrates Triguera's dissatisfaction with Kaká's performance in the first half.

Kaka's presence wasn't very strong, and he looked a bit like a headless fly when he had the ball.

This isn't to say his footwork is bad, but rather that he lacks a clear purpose when he has the ball.

Hesitant forward runs, meaningless lateral dribbling, and passes that create opportunities for long-range shots, etc.

Pepe, a player who mainly switches between defensive midfield and center-back, came on as a signal for Sporting Lisbon to shift from attack to defense.

Sporting Lisbon wants to hold onto their 3-1 lead until the final whistle.

And the other person...

Yin Bu replaced Ronaldinho!

Ronaldinho expressed his doubts about the substitution, but he dared not refuse and did not show it very obviously.

Trigla patted him on the shoulder a little more to make him feel a bit better.

Meanwhile, Maksa is working on Kaká's mental state, making him feel that the glory of the Saint of Sassa has never left.

Ronaldinho felt he didn't achieve the desired effect today, and in fact, he wouldn't have been satisfied even if he had played the full 90 minutes.

However, Saint Sassa had already made arrangements for this.

Kai had already given instructions that Ronaldinho and Kaka are extremely useful to the team this season, and if used well, they are very strong immediate contributors. They need to be taken care of, especially psychologically.

As soon as Ronaldinho sat down, the team doctor rushed over and gave him a thorough examination.

Porto's defense was very aggressive today, and Ronaldinho went down several times during the match.

Out of a sense of responsibility for Ronaldinho's health, Maxi arranged this "emergency medical check-up".

This warmed Luo's heart.

So Saint Sa was afraid I would get hurt?

As expected of a world-class coach, this level of caution alone is enough to defeat many arrogant people. Ronaldinho thought to himself as he glanced at Deng Kai, the number 10 player on the field.

Ronaldinho was actually envious of this jersey.

This applies not only to the jersey number 10, but also to the requirements for printing the name on the back.

Most players would certainly prefer to have their full name printed on their jerseys.

However, because the full names of players from countries like Brazil, Argentina, and Portugal are too long, they are often written in abbreviation.

They might even choose a stage name that has absolutely no connection to your real name—Pepe, Kaka, Gomez, Ronaldinho…

It's already quite an achievement to keep someone like Cristiano Ronaldo, who has the most beloved "Ronaldo" in his life.

However, Deng Kai was granted a special privilege.

Most players envy this, and they would probably give up such a privilege if given to them.

Deng Kai's jersey says "deng kai"!

Fan Zhiyi's jersey for Crystal Palace has "fan" written on it.

Sun Jihai's name on his European jersey is "sun".

In the future, Dong Fangzhuo will have "dong" written on his Manchester United jersey.

So far, only Deng Kai has written down his full name, and the order is not kai deng, but deng kai!

To be honest, Ronaldinho initially thought Deng Kai's jersey had been printed incorrectly, so he went over to remind Deng Kai, hoping to use this as an opportunity to get closer to him.

He did indeed score, but the jersey wasn't printed incorrectly.

Deng Kai stated that this was his request.

Ronaldinho was puzzled at the time: "But then, fans will think your surname is Kai, not Deng. Except for people from China, the Korean Peninsula, Japan, Vietnam, Mongolia, and Hungary, whose surnames come first, most other surnames in the world come last."

Deng Kai asked with a smile, "Then let me ask you, what is my surname?"

Xiao Luo: "Of course it's Deng."

Deng Kai nodded: "That settles it. I prefer people to call me Deng Kai, not Kai Deng."

Ronaldinho: "But the fans won't know this, they..."

Ronaldinho didn't understand it then, but after this match, he does.

Deng Kai's choice of name on his jersey reveals his personality and character.

He has his principles and is willing to work hard for them, no matter what obstacles he encounters.

He is not worried at all that fans will get his surname wrong, because as long as he is strong enough, there will be enough people in the world to learn about, remember, and even admire his name, surname, experiences, and so on.

"Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho."

Ronaldinho was brought back to reality by Maksa's call. The kind-looking Maksa said gently, "Listen to me, I value you highly, and you will definitely achieve more success than you can imagine at Sporting Lisbon."

"But all of this has one condition: that you don't become an obstacle on Kai's path to victory!"

Xiao Luo shuddered, and his buck teeth unconsciously retracted.

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
