Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Both the broadcast director and the fans watching the screen were feeling a bit dizzy from the shaking.

However, the few Sporting Lisbon fans present reacted the fastest.

"Goal!"

"Goal! Ronaldinho scores with a header!"

"Deng Kai's through ball created a threat, leading to a scramble in front of the Barcelona goal, and Ronaldinho's decisive goal helped his team equalize!"

"Sporting Lisbon still has a chance! Ronaldinho has redeemed Fonte!"

"Cristiano Ronaldo rushed into the goal and caught the ball, but Puyol tripped him with his leg!"

"A conflict has broken out between the two sides! Ronaldo is furious!"

"The referee arrived at the scene immediately and showed Puyol a yellow card!"

"That's perfectly reasonable; Puyol's action was completely unnecessary. I wouldn't object if the referee had given him a straight red card or awarded a penalty for that foul!"

"As expected, whenever these two teams play, the atmosphere is always tense! I wonder if there will be another red card today?"

After this incident, it's clear that neither side intends to restrain their tempers, and the intensity of the confrontation has increased significantly.

Most players would be affected in this situation.

Speed, physicality, precision, and luck are some of the most important elements in competitive sports. If any one of these elements is maximized, it can be enough to determine the outcome of a match.

However, on the Barcelona side, there was one player who did not receive the same level of contact or collision as the other players in the team.

That is... Quaresma, the former star player of Sporting Lisbon who just joined Barcelona this season.

After all, he was a teammate who fought alongside him last season, and was also the nominal leader, so Quaresma received special treatment.

This meant that his performance was not affected in any way.

In the 77th minute, Quaresma cut inside past his opponent and delivered a brilliant through ball.

Kluinvert and Vidic were locked in a tug-of-war in the penalty area, eventually falling to the ground.

The referee immediately blew his whistle and pointed to the penalty spot.

"Oh! Penalty! Kluivert has won a penalty for the team!"

"Vidic is appealing to the referee, saying that both sides made contact and he does not believe he committed a foul."

"The referee's decision was clear; he upheld the penalty decision. However, Vidic did not receive a yellow card, presumably because he did not intend to foul Kluivert."

"Kluivert holds the ball and stands at the penalty spot, the camera pans to Rivaldo, and then to Quaresma."

"It's clear that both of them wanted to take the penalty, but Kluivert wouldn't let them."

"The conflict between Barcelona's Dutch and American contingents is common knowledge, and this season..."

"It's a pity that Quaresma, as a Portuguese player, is isolated and helpless in the Barcelona team. In fact, if Figo had been there to guide him, he could have obtained a higher status in the team based on his performance this season."

"Sporting Lisbon's goalkeeper is Reina, a Barcelona youth academy graduate who is highly regarded. However, the young man is impatient and eager to play more games, so he was loaned to Sporting Lisbon by Barcelona."

"As a result, Sporting Lisbon bought Reina outright less than 24 hours after signing the loan deal with Barcelona."

"Some say Sporting Lisbon is foolish, others say Reina is definitely worth it. Now, whether Reina is worth it or not depends on this penalty!"

"Kluivert takes a run-up, swings his leg... and unleashes a powerful shot!"

"Saved! Amazing! Reina saved the penalty!"

"Deng Kai receives the ball, dribbles it, and accelerates; Sporting Lisbon is about to launch a counter-attack!"

"A barrage of arrows! Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaká, Ronaldinho, Drogba, Maicon, and others surge forward! This is a five-arrow attack on a single star!"

"Rivaldo charged towards Duncan, trying to stop him... Marseille turn! Duncan, skilled and daring, easily bypassed Rivaldo, his speed with the ball not decreasing at all!"

"Ronaldo is reaching for the ball; he's in a good position, but Puyol has noticed him."

boom!

Deng Kai made a through pass.

Five receiving points in the attacking third—nothing could make a player happier than a star player with six arrows.

"Ronaldinho! That was a very agile through ball and diagonal run; Ronaldinho has shaken off De Boer."

"Is Ronaldinho adjusting his pace, preparing to shoot without controlling the ball?"

"A fake shot! Ronaldinho faked a shot, and Cristanvar was completely fooled!"

"Shot! Far corner! Valdes is out of reach!"

"Goal! Ronaldinho! His second goal!"

"Another player to score twice on his debut at Camp Nou! He's incredibly agile on the pitch!"

"2-1! Sporting Lisbon is in the lead!"

"A comeback from a 1-0 deficit to win 2-1! Sporting Lisbon is incredibly resilient under pressure; this is a major advantage that no other youth team possesses!"

"Ten points! Sporting Lisbon is second in the group with ten points. The match between Arsenal and Juventus is still 0-0, and Arsenal's current points total is eight!"

"If Arsenal doesn't win, the teams advancing to the Champions League quarterfinals from this group will be Barcelona and Sporting Lisbon!"

At the scene, a small number of Sporting Lisbon fans sang and danced.

Victoria is alright.

But Keira was very excited because the home team was West Ham United, a team that had been struggling in recent years.

The key is that it really makes you feel like you're on the underdog team!

Deng Kai: ? ? ?

Deng Kai: Just because we conceded the first goal doesn't mean we're the weaker team. What a fake fan!

"Now, I doubt anyone would think Reina isn't worth four million euros, right?"

"If Sporting Lisbon can really win this game, then it would be worth spending €8 million, €12 million, or even just €4 million on Reina!"

"This Barcelona youth academy graduate proved himself at Camp Nou, but unfortunately, he was cheered for by Sporting Lisbon fans, not Barcelona fans!"

Sporting Lisbon's lead made Barcelona uneasy.

Barcelona substituted Overmars for Saviola, who had a weak presence on the field.

But this can't really be blamed on Saviola; even if Overmars had come on, the effect wouldn't have been much better.

Since they are all wingers, asking them to play as shadow strikers... is really asking too much.

Not all wingers have good attacking positioning and a good finishing touch.

Right, Luo?

Cristiano Ronaldo: You're talking nonsense!

Xiao Luo: Brother C, is it possible that this Luo is referring to me?

When Barcelona made their substitution, Sporting Lisbon also made their own substitution.

Yin Bu replaced Drogba.

It looks like a routine substitution, but the tactics are actually different from before.

The main purpose of bringing on Yin Bu was to use his footwork to help the team control possession of the ball.

Teams like Barcelona become much more difficult to deal with if you don't give them possession of the ball.

Eighty minutes.

Deng Kai passed the ball to Yin Bu, who had dropped back, and Yin Bu flicked it with his heel, sending the ball into the Barcelona penalty area.

Ronaldinho surged forward and headed the ball before Cristanvar could reach it.

boom!

Ronaldinho was knocked down by Cristanvar.

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