Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

To put it bluntly, no matter what you do, I definitely won't leave my defensive position.

Ronaldinho passed the ball to Wu Xudong, who was making a run down the wing, and then cut inside without the ball.

boom!

After receiving the ball, Wu Xudong dribbled two steps toward the baseline before crossing the ball.

Blanco leaped high and blocked the ball with his back at the near post.

Blanco, as expected of a championship-caliber center-back, judged from the moment Wu Xudong came on that Wu Xudong's crosses were not good enough and that he could not deliver accurate, high-arc headers.

Therefore, Wu Xudong's crosses are often low and flat.

Even a complete sweep.

If he passes the ball too high, it tends to drift and doesn't create any real threat.

This is also one of the key reasons why Wu Xudong was relegated to the bench by Maicon.

Maicon's crosses were relatively more refined.

Even Evra's crosses were slightly better than Wu Xudong's.

Unfortunately, the football bounced towards Ronaldinho.

boom!

Ronaldinho pounced on the loose ball and unleashed a powerful shot.

The football grazed Phil's thigh as it flew towards the goal.

But the unpredictable Barthez demonstrated his quick reflexes and successfully saved the ball.

This was a world-class save.

The football bounced towards Phil, and then bounced towards the baseline.

Wu Xudong, who had just crossed the baseline, instinctively wanted to catch the ball.

"Don't move!"

Deng Kai shouted, his pronunciation in perfect Mandarin.

Wu Xudong instinctively stopped in his tracks.

Phil deliberately slowed down as he watched Wu Xudong prepare to receive the ball, because Wu Xudong would be offside if he received the ball.

As a result, Wu Xudong did not receive the ball. Instead, Ronaldinho, who was a step slower, rushed over and completed a cutback pass right in front of Phil, stepping on the baseline.

The ball went directly to Deng Kai on the edge of the six-yard box.

However, with Blanco and Barthez in front of Deng Kai and Veron on his left, his shot would most likely be blocked.

and so……

"Deng Kai hits... Deng Kai misses the ball!"

"Kaka...a powerful shot!"

"Goal! Kaka! Kaka scores!"

"Deng Kai's brilliant pass! Ronaldinho assists Kaká for the goal! The Brazilian duo have delivered their most important attack since joining the team this season!"

"1-2! Sporting Lisbon has finally pulled one back!"

"The aggregate score is now 4-5! Sporting Lisbon is down by one goal."

"But if they score another goal, Manchester United will be in trouble! Because if it's 5-5, Manchester United, who have scored two away goals, will be eliminated by Sporting Lisbon, who have three away goals."

Sporting Lisbon still has a chance!

"Cristiano Ronaldo rushed into the goal and carried the ball out!"

"Sporting Lisbon's players didn't celebrate at all; they quickly retreated to their own half. They were racing against time!"

"The Manchester United players' expressions visibly became serious."

Looking at the time and score, the originally dull stoppage time suddenly became exciting.

Many Manchester United fans who were already celebrating their team's advancement to the Champions League final were brought to an abrupt halt.

Countless people flocked to the television set.

Both sets of fans offered prayers, but the content was quite different.

Ninety-second minute.

Deng Kai dribbled the ball towards the left flank and made a cross-pass with Ronaldo. Ronaldo had already made space, but Gary Neville made a beautiful anticipatory defense.

He boldly made a sliding tackle, successfully intercepting Deng Kai and legally bringing him down.

Cristiano Ronaldo immediately rushed towards Gary and slid in with a tackle.

But Gary passed the ball to Scholes ahead of him and jumped to avoid the poor tackle.

Gary, running forward, and Ronaldo, gliding across the ground, exchanged glances, their eyes brimming with tension.

Gary: You're Chris who beat O'Shea? You're nothing special, you still got shut out by me! Remember how you were crying just now? So lame!

Cristiano Ronaldo: Even if I lose, I lost to Beckham, Scholes, Giggs, and Veron, what's it to you! Next time we meet, I'll beat you to a pulp! You just wait!

boom!

Scholes dribbled the ball forward a few steps before passing it to Beckham on the wing.

After getting up, Ronaldo didn't rush to ask about the condition of the fallen Deng Kai; he went straight after Gary.

boom!

Beckham delivered a cross.

But Evra, who isn't very tall, jumps very high.

His shoulder grazed the ball, changing its trajectory and sending it flying high, losing its element of surprise.

Cristiano Ronaldo tracked back all the way to his own penalty area and blocked Cole.

Reina boldly rushed out, jumped up, and snatched the football from Forlán's head.

"here!"

Deng Kai, who had fallen to the ground, had just gotten up.

He and several Manchester United defenders were near the midfield line.

Reina immediately launched a long kick.

Fran was a beat too slow; he jumped but couldn't stop the ball.

The football flies towards the left side of the forward field.

Deng Kai ran quickly towards the front field.

To his left is Gary, who started backing away as soon as he saw Beckham preparing to pass the ball; he has excellent defensive awareness.

To Deng Kai's right is Belon.

After disappearing from the offensive end, Veron spent most of his time at the back of the defense.

Three arrows fired simultaneously.

Veron, positioned furthest inside, had a positional advantage, being closest to the ball.

When the football first lands, no one can touch it.

After the football bounces, its speed decreases significantly.

Veron reached the ball, but the ball bounced up and he had no chance to handle it.

He could only lean towards Deng Kai, trying to use his body to block Deng Kai.

But Deng Kai also seized the opportunity to suddenly exert his strength, and had intense physical contact with Veron.

Veron thought Duncan was trying to create a free kick, which was Sporting Lisbon's best chance for their final attack.

Players like Deng Kai, Ronaldinho, Kaka, and Cristiano Ronaldo all have a decent free kick.

Therefore, Veron did not exert force to avoid Duncan faking a fall.

As a result, a tremendous force struck, causing him to stumble, and Deng Kai easily knocked him aside.

Perón's eyes widened in surprise.

This won't create a free kick?

Deng Kai has gone mad!

With Gary on the left and Silvestre inside the penalty area, and Barthez fully focused, how many can Duncan take on at once?

It's more cost-effective to draw a free kick.

boom!

Deng Kai used his head to slam the rising football into the ground ahead of time.

Gary immediately moved closer, attempting to steal the ball.

boom!

As soon as the ball landed, Deng Kai flicked it with his right foot, sending it to his right.

Cut inside!

This move immediately left Gary behind, who had been running alongside him.

Gary reached out and pulled Deng Kai from behind.

Deng Kai's jersey was stretched taut.

Deng Kai slapped Gary's hand away, but Gary had already used the foul to accelerate and forcefully caught up with Deng Kai on the outside.

On the other side, Silvestre came out to cover after Veron was out of position, rushing towards the ball to clear it.

But Deng Kai's challenge was high in the first place but low in the second.

Silvestre had to slow down in advance, and after the ball landed, he judged the direction of the bounce before accelerating and jumping up to kick the ball away.

However, during this time, Deng Kai and Gary have already caught up with football.

boom!

Deng Kai once again headed the ball towards the right side of the ground as it rose.
