Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"Goal! Two-nil! Vieira almost blew up Sporting Lisbon's goal!"

"Sporting Lisbon is in serious trouble! These two goals are not something a team of their caliber should be able to concede!"

"Vidic and Guardiola both made crucial clearance errors; they acted like two elementary school students!"

"In fact, this situation has already occurred in the Portuguese league before!"

"Sporting Lisbon's players have been quite inconsistent in recent matches. Their running distance has noticeably decreased, and their aggressiveness in tackling on the pitch has also been questionable."

"They've reached a point of physical exhaustion. Guardiola was playing without a winter break for the first time and seemed very uncomfortable. Keep in mind, he's already thirty years old; he's not young anymore."

Guardiola was speechless.

Damn it!

This mistake was indeed caused by an internal problem.

Guardiola did not turn his head to observe sufficiently during his defensive run.

This is subconscious; midfielders all have good observation habits.

However, subconscious things also decrease when you are physically weak, and you are unlikely to be aware of it.

Guardiola believes the team cannot blame himself.

After all, he suffered so many injuries in the later years of his time at Barcelona.

After Sporting Lisbon maintained a high level of performance for half a season, what more could you ask for?

Deng Kai agreed with Guardiola's point and then signaled for Guardiola and Yaya Toure to switch positions.

Then, I communicated with my teammates and suggested that the team temporarily focus on attacking down the right flank, letting Ronaldinho try to see if he could create a breakthrough with his skills.

If Ronaldinho isn't good enough, then we'll just have to unleash the dogs.

Cristiano Ronaldo: ? ? ?

Kaka: ? ? ?

Tactics, the dog-spinning tactic, you speed dogs shouldn't be so sensitive.

"Ronaldinho, try not to accelerate too much unless you've completely disarmed him," Deng Kai advised Ronaldinho, sharing his secret to playing against Cole.

Although Ashley Cole is only 22 years old this year, he was already Arsenal's first choice for left-back last season.

His performance has been even more outstanding this season, making him an absolute key player for the team.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be able to make forty appearances for the team this season.

Cole is extremely fast and has great running ability; the English style of defense means he is also excellent at tackling.

His strength is that he is very resilient and not easily broken.

However, the downside is that the team's playing style limits its potential, making it less capable of turning the tide and unable to act as a clutch player.

Ronaldinho has excellent explosiveness, but compared to Cole, he's still a bit lacking; the recent example is a case in point.

But if Ronaldinho can slow down Cole's speed, then Cole will be in trouble.

Sure enough, in the next few minutes, Ronaldinho put on a personal dribbling show.

Cole was immediately put on the defensive.

Whenever he makes a careless tackle, Ronaldinho can easily get past him.

Even without him making a tackle, Ronaldinho can still try to organize the attack and deliver some threatening passes.

Fortunately, Vieira's coverage area was large enough to help defend Cole, otherwise Arsenal's left flank would have been in real danger.

Twenty-nine minutes. (Lan)

After drawing Vieira away, Ronaldinho chipped the ball back to Duncan.

Deng Kai met the ball with a powerful volley and passed it to the left.

"Deng Kai's signature move has appeared: a super-fast pass!"

"Sporting Lisbon completed the attacking transition from right to left in almost half a second. Arsenal's defense on this side was clearly inadequate, and this is the time to test their ability to defend the transition."

"Arsenal's other defensive midfielder, Parlour, clearly didn't expect Duncan's pass to be so quick, and that shot completely broke through his defense."

"Kaka has picked up speed! He's engaged in a fierce 20-meter sprint with Arsenal's right-back Lauren."

"Arsenal's two full-backs are both very fast, which is one of the key foundations for their dazzling attacking play. But Kaka seems to be just as fast as Lauren!"

Lauren ultimately opted for a conservative approach, allowing Kaká to gain possession of the ball.

"Kaka receives the ball and passes it across... Ronaldo hits a one-two! He's past him, and with Ronaldo's help, Kaka executes a one-two to completely shake off Lauren!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo charged into the penalty area, raised his hand to answer the question, oops... to ask for the ball."

"Kaka slows down, makes a slight adjustment, and then crosses the ball!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo leaps high at the near post... a million miles away from the ball!"

"Yinbu! The Swedish tower has taken off! He's blocked Keown and gotten the position!"

"Goal! Goal!"

"A beautiful attacking transition, a beautiful cross from the wing!"

"Zlatan...Ibrahimovic!"

Alvalade Stadium instantly transformed into a sea of ​​joy.

The fans kept chanting:

"Zlatan!"

"Zlatan!"

"Zlatan!"

Yin Bu turned to look at Wenger without hesitation.

It's as if you're asking the other person, "Do you think someone like me still needs a trial?"

Wenger had his hands in his pockets, but no shirt pockets. He kept repeating the action, clearly not happy.

But it's not enough to make you angry.

He's seen plenty of unruly young players, so he has a good attitude.

They are also known as the "Three Sages of Football" for their expertise in nurturing young players.

Wenger's secret weapon is his serene and yielding mindset.

Trigra's secret weapon is targeted technical training.

Maxa's secret weapon is choice.

Choose the right thigh and hug it tightly!

"That's it! Cheer up! You guys did a great job!" Maxa shouted energetically near the microphone.

Trigra was in charge of tactics, while he was in charge of the atmosphere; they always worked together very well.

Who gave him that more magnetic, husky voice?

For a period thereafter, Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon traded attacks and defenses.

Pires delivered a dangerous shot, but the ball went wide of the far post.

Conversely, Arsenal also had no good way to deal with Ronaldinho's dribbling, as he was a stable ball-carrying point for Sporting Lisbon on the right wing, providing a basis for tactical versatility.

Thirty-nine minutes.

Deng Kai helped Ronaldinho get past Cole by hitting the wall.

Vieira was also prepared and seized the opportunity to push past Ronaldinho and make a tackle.

Deng Kai couldn't let Vieira have the ball and launch a counter-attack, so he slid in to tackle him.

The towering Vieira was thrown to the ground.

However, the referee did not blow the whistle, believing that Deng Kai's tackle was a valid one.

that's the truth.

However, Arsenal players had objections to this.

Parlor, Cole, Keown, and others rushed to the scene of the incident.

Seeing Vieira in pain on the ground, Deng Kai offered his help.

How are you feeling?

If you're not hurt, I'll give you a hand. (Lan)

On the Sporting Lisbon side, the other players, seeing this, were also considering whether to go and help out their young star.

But at that moment...

With a bang.

Next to the image of Deng Kai bending down and reaching out to pull Vieira, Cole reacted quickly and kicked the football away with a long kick.

Because he saw that Schmeichel was not in the penalty area!

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