Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Evra replaced Pepe, who had received a yellow card.

Sporting Lisbon switched to a 4-4-2 formation.

Deng Kai and Yaya Touré formed the midfield duo.

Kaka and Ronaldinho played as left and right wingers respectively.

This formation can strengthen Sporting Lisbon's defense.

It provides better protection for the left and right sides of the road.

In the middle lane, Deng Kai's coverage ability was far stronger than Guardiola's sixty minutes later.

"Toure, I'll move to cover the entire backfield. You fill the empty spaces I leave behind," Duncan told Toure. "You need to pay close attention to protecting what's behind me."

Toure nodded.

In this way, Deng Kai and Toure achieved the "double sweeping tactic in the backcourt".

This kind of positioning is very risky. If the two defensive midfielders overlap in their positioning, it is easy for the opponent to break through their defense.

However, Deng Kai's vision and defensive positioning almost never make such mistakes.

Touré's running ability, combined with Deng Kai's command, is a double insurance.

Similarly, Barcelona took the opportunity to make substitutions.

Overmars replaced the underperforming Argentine winger Saviola.

Barcelona veteran Enrique replaced Giovanni.

Former Valencia all-around midfielder Gerrard replaced Xavi.

Giovanni was very unhappy when he was substituted; he felt he deserved more playing time.

After all, Quaresma is still playing on the field.

Gerrard looked slightly bitter when he came on the field.

Two years ago, he was one of the most sought-after young midfielders in Europe.

But he has not been able to find his rhythm at Barcelona over the past year.

He has been relegated to the bench since the first half of this year.

This season, his role on the team has been that of a substitute, and he's not even in the top draft position.

His once illustrious life seemed destined to be ruined.

Ironically, Liverpool's Gerrard entered his prime after Barcelona's Gerrard went through a slump, as if he had stolen Barcelona's luck.

It's truly mysterious and profound.

Does that mean there can only be one person named Gerrard who is truly outstanding?

Seventy-seventh minute.

Deng Kai suddenly surged forward, providing Ronaldinho with a one-two pass, and then made a run to the right front, diverting De Boer's attention.

Ronaldinho seized the opportunity to take a powerful dribble, cutting inside and shaking off De Boer.

After pulling out Cristanval, he passed the ball back in a triangular pattern to find Yinbu.

Despite having space to shoot, Yin Bu skillfully let the ball slip past Cristanvar and Barcelona goalkeeper Bonano, who were trying to block the shot.

The ball rolled towards the left side of the penalty area, where Ronaldo quickly shook off Puyol and unleashed a powerful shot.

Aim for a more difficult close-range shot!

Swish!

The football spun into the goal, creating a white splash.

"Goal! A brace! Ronaldo's shot was absolutely beautiful!"

"However, the credit for this goal goes more to Ronaldinho and Yin Bu."

"Ronaldinho rarely makes such sharp passes; this time he didn't hold onto the ball for too long."

"As for Yin Bu, he's a player who's hard to understand. In some games, he really wants to score, but in others, like this one, he doesn't even seem to care about an assist!"

"He's not a player who's sensitive to statistics; goals and assists aren't what he's after. He's after style! Ronaldinho's arrival has further amplified this trait in Yin Bu, and he's playing more and more like an artist!"

"An artist who's 1.95 meters tall and can play the violin with his feet!"

"3-0! Sporting Lisbon has killed the game! Barcelona can't catch up!"

"So after two rounds, all four teams in Sporting Lisbon's group have three points! Sporting Lisbon has a goal difference of -1, Barcelona has a goal difference of -1, Arsenal has a goal difference of zero, and Juventus has a goal difference of two."

"Barcelona is at the bottom of the group due to head-to-head results, while Juventus is at the top."

Ultimately, the score remained unchanged.

Sporting Lisbon secured their first victory in the second group stage of the European competition.

This is a pretty good result.

After the match, Cristiano Ronaldo, the Man of the Match, said in an interview: "My passing has always been sharp, I just don't use it often. Those who say I can't pass clearly haven't watched my games."

Sporting Lisbon's stalwarts fans were completely baffled by this.

Because we've seen so much, we know you really can't pass the ball, okay?

Besides Cristiano Ronaldo, Yaya Touré, who also performed well in this match, was interviewed by the media.

Before the match, a Barcelona fan posted a clip of Yaya Touré telling the media during his trial with Arsenal: "My favorite team, I like Barcelona."

Since I can't beat you guys, I'll just disgust you.

Disrupting your morale might allow me to wipe you out in the next round.

The Barcelona mouthpiece media's thinking is still very clear.

One netizen commented under the video: "No wonder Yaya Toure was kicked out by Wenger. When you were on trial with Arsenal, you said you liked Barcelona. Nobody wanted you."

Reporter: "Toure, how does it feel to watch your beloved team lose? Do you feel guilty?"

Yaya Touré looked completely bewildered.

After understanding the whole story, he laughed: "Barcelona doesn't hold a special place in my heart. You could say Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal... In short, I don't really like Barcelona."

"Someone told me that Wenger liked players from Barcelona's youth academy, and I said that would increase my chances of staying at Arsenal. But..."

Good guy.

It turned out to be the case.

That's a pretty shady approach.

Barcelona is deeply hurt.

……

Barcelona loses to Sporting Lisbon again! Is this just fate?

Sporting Lisbon has found the key to defeating Barcelona! Quaresma's stunning performance couldn't save his new club!

Guardiola's masterful strategizing proves how wrong Barcelona's choices were!

Wenger used to like Barcelona, ​​but after the club poached players like Overmars and Petit, he started to dislike the team.

An insider revealed that the fundamental reason Yaya Toure's trial with Arsenal failed was because he said he liked Barcelona. If he had said he liked any team, he would have stayed.

Yaya Toure has potential; Wenger missed out on a good substitute!

Aside from Quaresma, Barcelona's signings have been mediocre; the sporting director is incompetent!

Manchester United wins big! Ferguson's eye for talent is spot on! All three strikers Manchester United scouted in the summer are performing at a top level.

Cristiano Ronaldo leads the Champions League scoring charts with seven goals! Van Nistelrooy is tied for second place with Duncan Robben with five goals! Diego Forlán has scored eleven goals for Independiente in three months, averaging nearly one goal per game!

As it turns out, there was a reason why Manchester United won three consecutive Premier League titles.

Wenger is often said to be good at coaching players, but Ferguson was just as good at it.

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