Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

When Maksa went to China to lead the Chinese team in the final stage of the World Cup qualifiers, he was no longer a figure in the mainstream view of world football.

You can't expect everyone to care about the Chinese team's matches, right?

However, it is against this backdrop that...

Samuel Barr led the Chinese men's football team to a 1-0 victory over Oman on October 7, securing their place in the World Cup finals two rounds early!

Milutinovic: ? ? ?

For a time, Chinese fans' adoration for Maksa reached its peak.

Some enthusiastic fans even shouted into the camera during interviews: "Geneva, retreat... no... Maxa, awesome!"

Maxija made a remarkable comeback in this way, creating a miracle.

In an interview, Maxić expressed his opinion on Sporting Lisbon's current situation: "Sporting Lisbon has no problems; they are as healthy as Chinese football."

Um... those involved in the Chinese national football team fell silent.

Has the Saint of Sassa become so powerful that he regards external obstacles as worthless?

too strong!

The leaders of the footwear industry are all reflecting on whether their work on approving products has been too conservative.

That's not quite right.

Maxi: "No player should be criticized for Sporting Lisbon's performance over the past period, because the fault lies not with them. The fault lies with UEFA. UEFA disqualified Dunca for three matches, and that's the consequence."

"Now that Kai is back, in Chinese terms, this is a triumphant return! It signifies the arrival of victory!"

"Therefore, from the perspective of the I Ching, Sporting Lisbon will undoubtedly usher in a series of victories."

"In fact, we did well in the league, but many people overlooked our strength later on because of our early-season setbacks."

At the end of football lies the mystery.

Maksa did not come away empty-handed during his time in China.

He followed the football leaders to burn incense and pray to Buddha every day, thus gaining an understanding of the true meaning of football.

Using the I Ching, he determined that next year would be a year of great progress for Chinese football.

Because the hexagram given by the I Ching is a flying dragon in the sky.

In order to achieve better team results, Maksa even gave himself a Chinese name – Long!

So you can also call him Macron.

Of course, because fans also like to call him "Marksa, the awesome one", he can also be simply called Mark Pen!

……

October 13th, the eighth round of the Portuguese Super League.

Sporting Lisbon narrowly defeated Braga 4-2.

Including the two Super Cup matches, they have played a total of thirteen matches so far, winning six of them.

In five of the six games in which they won, both Ronaldinho and Kaká were substituted, and all of those substitutions occurred before the 70th minute.

In another match, Kaká replaced Ronaldinho as a substitute.

In addition, there was Deng Kai's performance in the Champions League without him.

The problems are gradually becoming apparent.

Some players need to fundamentally change themselves.

For example, Kaka, and for example...

"Take Deng Kai, for example! His irrational red card last season was the main reason for the team's early exit from the Champions League, and he must take responsibility for the lack of honors this season!"

Ronaldinho's agent, Eric Rofyin, expressed this view in the newspaper "Bora".

As is well known, Bora is not only a well-known Portuguese football media outlet, but also the largest "anti-Dunkai" media in Europe.

From the moment Deng Kai debuted, they were not optimistic about his future.

However, faced with the facts, they became increasingly distorted, constantly seeking out dirt to try and smear Deng Kai.

Besides blaming Deng Kai for the loss, Eric Rovey also used mystical events to bolster his claims, revealing a cursed match in the European Super Cup:

"Before this year, a 3-0 score at halftime was a 100% guarantee of victory."

"But Sporting Lisbon rewrote history in the UEFA Cup. The bottle of red wine that Houllier ordered is widely known and added a magical element to the match."

"Therefore, during the European Super Cup, Bayern Munich had someone place a bottle of champagne outside the Sporting Lisbon dressing room. They originally wanted red wine, but since they hadn't prepared any in advance, they only had champagne, but it was almost the same."

"Sporting Lisbon almost fell under the curse, but it was Deng Kai's suggestion to sacrifice Fonte that lifted the curse. It is said that this is a magical power from the East, an eye for an eye, a blood for a blood, killing one's wife to prove one's way."

"With teammates sacrificed, boundless power is achieved."

"But now, I suspect the curse still worked, and it fell on Duncan. Because the curse cast by Hitzfeld, which gathered the resentment of all Bayern fans, cannot be neutralized by a mere insignificant Fonte."

Eric Rovey made a solemn vow.

Because Xiao Luo had overheard Deng Kai and Maksa's conversation, Maksa read his research report on the I Ching to Deng Kai and asked him to make corrections.

Eric Roveon immediately went to study this thing.

This is not uncommon in the football world; many players, whether from Europe, Africa, or the Americas, are extremely superstitious.

The various "curses" in European football also reflect this situation.

However, this was the first time Europeans had encountered "Eastern magic".

Eric Roveon's remarks caused a huge uproar.

Regardless of the merit of what he said, it shows that Sporting Lisbon is no longer a monolithic team.

At the very least, Ronaldinho definitely has some grievances against Deng Kai.

He yielded to Deng Kai's invitation, but did not fully acknowledge Deng Kai's talent.

Players like Ronaldinho, with their exceptional skills, are actually quite simple. Talking about it is useless; as long as you can beat him, he'll respect you.

Just like how NBA players are judged by their one-on-one ability, the team's leader must be the king of one-on-one. No matter how much a role player contributes to the team, if they can't handle the troublemakers in a one-on-one situation, they can forget about becoming the core player.

Many future NBA team leaders and core players would not be able to perform as well if they returned to this era.

It's not that I'm biased towards the past and belittling the present, but if you went back to this time, you'd only be destined to be a subordinate. The world would only revolve around the one-on-one champions. That's the historical context.

However, Sporting Lisbon responded very quickly within the team.

All the players declined to be interviewed.

all!

Deng Kai invited Xiao Luo to dinner.

There was no questioning of Ronaldinho during the meeting, and the two did not discuss any football-related topics.

Only after dinner did Deng Kai politely pat Ronaldinho on the shoulder and say, "I like the way you play football. You will become the best in the world! There are many players in this world who are similar, but you are different. There is only one Ronaldinho!"

"Believe me, Ronaldinho, I will always have goodwill towards you. I will definitely find a way to let you play the football you want, but you must know that it's unlikely to be the case for every game."

"Remember, you and the team will always welcome you back!"

Ronaldinho didn't quite understand at the time.

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