Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"When Manchester City fans see some superstars, they think, 'If only our team had those superstars.'"

"So here I pledge. If I am successful in acquiring Manchester City Football Club, I will do everything in my power to invest in and operate the team, bringing in one, two, three, or even more superstars!"

"It could be a superstar from a Champions League-winning team!"

Mansour pointed to Lizarazu, Effenberg, and others.

"It could be those superstars on the neighboring team, the ones wearing red jerseys!"

Mansour pointed in the direction of Old Trafford.

"He could be an enduring hero of Serie A, or a rising legend for Real Madrid!"

"Of course! He could also be the only superstar in a team that has won five titles in the last thirty years!"

After Mansour finished speaking, he patted Deng Kai on the shoulder.

The next moment, a small portion of Manchester City's fans in the stadium cheered.

"Deng Kai! Deng Kai! Deng Kai!"

They shouted out the name of the player they most wanted.

Seeing this reaction, Mansur's hands trembled slightly.

Because he knew that it had succeeded!

Deng Kai was absolutely right!

Mansour put so much effort into the acquisition, but encountered a huge problem with the fans. Some die-hard fan groups were unyielding and yet wielded considerable influence.

Unexpectedly, following Deng Kai's advice, a little effort was put into the European Super Cup, and surprisingly, the problem was solved despite going in completely opposite directions.

This is simply illogical.

But this feeling is really amazing!

Conquering England fans is far more interesting than driving a luxury SUV to conquer the sand.

Of course, while Mansour was happy, Beckenbauer shook his head without showing any emotion.

This Middle Eastern tycoon is still too young.

Even if you do acquire Manchester City, will they be able to get promoted to the Premier League this season?

Even if you succeed in getting promoted, are you really able to sign a superstar next season?

It's very difficult.

Elderly superstars often return to their roots and rarely go to unfamiliar places.

The fact that Matthäus, Deschamps, and Guardiola came to Sporting Lisbon was basically by accident.

Matthäus had wanted to retire for a long time.

Deschamps should have gone to Valencia.

Guardiola wanted to go find Baggio.

What top superstars has Manchester City produced?

Are they willing to return after their peak to contribute their remaining energy?

What?

You mean Deng Kai and Ronaldo?

Ha ha!

That's even more ridiculous.

Manchester United had already made an offer to Cristiano Ronaldo this summer.

If Cristiano Ronaldo can maintain even half of his form from last season, let alone maintain it, then major clubs in the top five European leagues should be extending offers to him.

He will basically be groomed to be the next Henry and Trezeguet. Not only will he be able to join a top club, but he will also have the opportunity to compete for a starting position, and this period will not be short. At least he will have the opportunity for the first half of the season.

This is much better than those strikers who are only given a few games by the club or whose role is originally that of a substitute.

As for Deng Kai...

If he hadn't announced his decision to stay with the team early this year, there would have been more people vying for him than for Cristiano Ronaldo.

There are always promising strikers every year, but how many midfield wonders are there?

Xavi, the big-eyed wonder that Barcelona treasures; Van der Fakt and Sneijder, whom Ajax is preparing to sell for a high price and rake in a large sum of euros; Schweinsteiger, who is already training with the first team at Bayern Munich; Gerrard, who has emerged with Liverpool this year; and Lampard, who transferred from West Ham United to Chelsea for a high price...

These young midfield stars are generally two to three years older than Deng Kai, or even five to six years older.

It is treasured by fans from all sides.

However, judging from their honors and achievements, it would be difficult for them to catch up with Deng Kai even if they played for another three to five years.

This is only Deng Kai's first year as a professional footballer.

No matter how he plays this season, he'll definitely have a lot of big clubs offering him contracts next season.

Even if he breaks his leg right now, a year later there will still be top-tier teams looking to take advantage of him.

After all, he was the core player of the only team in the last thirty years to win five championships.

He is also the only person in football history to win the best player award in five competitions in the same year!

This is a record that will last forever!

This is Deng Kai at fifteen!

A player like that, Manchester City?

I want to eat fart!

……

Do you remember that year when Bayern Munich won the Champions League?

What year was it?

That year, Real Madrid won the La Liga title!

Which year are you referring to?

That year, Manchester United dominated the Premier League!

Which year exactly?

That year, the five-time champion emerged out of nowhere and swept across Europe.

That's right, I'm talking about 2001, the summer when Liverpool... Sporting Lisbon won their fifth title, creating a miracle in football!

This is the chemistry that emerged after Sporting Lisbon defeated Bayern Munich.

In most fields, the gap between the first and second place is extremely small.

But people will only remember the first place.

Because the fields you dedicate your life to are just a small category in other people's conversations and impressions.

Others only need to remember one name.

The development this person has brought to the industry may be greater than the combined development of the next few dozen people.

This is the celebrity effect.

In football, where dozens or even hundreds of champions are crowned every year, it's really hard for non-fans to remember who's the best.

Unless you add a prefix.

Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez understood this; he only targets superstars, aiming to build the most luxurious Galácticos team in football history.

Real Madrid's influence outside of football has thus expanded rapidly.

This external influence quickly turned around, bringing Real Madrid tremendous revenue.

Sporting Lisbon, by sheer chance, also earned a prefix – five titles! The only team in football history to achieve five titles in thirty years! The team that swept the most trophies in a single year!

So much so that when reporters interviewed non-fans on the street and asked them who the strongest team was last season, most of them said Sporting Lisbon.

When reporters pressed them for more information, most of them didn't even know whether Sporting Lisbon was a team in Serie A, the Premier League, or La Liga.

Some answers even mentioned the Chinese Super League, but none of them said it was the Portuguese Super League.

When you ask who the players are on this team, they can only name one person – Deng Kai!

Sporting Lisbon and Duncan's reputations spread dramatically under this effect.

Non-fans might say, "The reason Brazil beat France in the 1998 World Cup was because France fielded Zidane instead of Duncan," but the key point is that France won the World Cup that year.

They would also say, "The only reason AC Milan missed out on the Champions League this year is that Ronaldo was injured too many times and couldn't form the perfect combination of the strongest striker and the strongest midfielder with Duncan." Inter Milan president Moratti cried in the bathroom after hearing this news.

Even Bayern Munich and Manchester United couldn't escape the predictions of casual fans: "Bayern lost Beckham, which is the biggest reason they lost to Duncan's Manchester United. This is also another victory for Duncan over Ferguson!"

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