Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Just 23 seconds into the game, Deng Kai unleashed a long-range shot, sending shockwaves through the crowd and testing Sanchez's abilities.

And as it turns out, Real Madrid has no weak players.

Sanchez made a solid save against Duncan's long-range shot.

In the seventh minute, Ronaldo dribbled past Salgado on the left wing and created a hard-won shooting opportunity.

But the ball was touched by Salgado and limply caught by Sanchez.

Real Madrid then launched a quick counter-attack, with Zidane dribbling down the wing to create space before delivering a brilliant pass.

Barzagli anticipated the pass and successfully blocked the crucial pass.

Once the ball is passed over.

Sporting Lisbon is in danger.

But Barzagli made a mistake.

After he completed the blockade, he was pulled away by Zidane.

Carlos rushed forward, grabbed the ball, and threw it directly into Sporting Lisbon's penalty area.

Hand grenade serve!

"Be careful!"

Deng Kai reminded his teammates.

But it was too late.

Raul rushed past Matthäus from behind and cut inside the penalty area from the side.

Facing Vidic's cover, Raul took a first-time shot with his left foot.

This was a top-notch response.

Schmeichel, who had been out of action for a long time, failed to react in time and let the ball roll past his feet into the goal.

In the ninth minute, Real Madrid broke the deadlock, taking a 1-0 lead over Sporting Lisbon!

"Goal! Raul!"

"This is the Lord of the Rings! This is our golden boy, Raul!"

"One-nil! Real Madrid's goal came way too easily!"

"Sporting Lisbon's defense crumbled at the first touch against this group of top players!"

The camera focused on Deng Kai's face, highlighting the King of Alvalad.

They tried to find a trace of dejection on Deng Kai's face.

But Deng Kai simply kept directing his teammates and communicating with players such as Guardiola, Matthäus, and Barzagli.

Raul's positioning was very clever; he was actually running in Guardiola's position.

Matthäus has top-notch awareness, but his body can't keep up, and he missed the best opportunity to defend against Raúl.

As for Guardiola... he's not exactly a top-tier defender, so making this kind of mistake is perfectly normal.

Sporting Lisbon hadn't expected to keep a clean sheet against Real Madrid in this match.

Because Real Madrid, like Sporting Lisbon, excels in attack.

Today, Real Madrid earned the opportunity to wear their home jersey.

Sporting Lisbon, on the other hand, abandoned their white and green jerseys and donned pure black away jerseys.

This is a battle between good and evil.

The goal sent the Real Madrid fans into a frenzy, and they began chanting the Real Madrid anthem.

Real Madrid players thus continued to exert themselves, maintaining a high tempo and taking the initiative in the game.

Twelfth minute.

Figo gave his Portuguese league junior Pepe a good sparring match, leaving the young Pepe completely disoriented.

boom!

Figo crosses the ball.

Raul's run disrupted Vidic.

Morientes headed the ball, but it hit the post and bounced out, missing a goal.

Real Madrid almost turned the score around to 2-0.

Fourteenth minute.

Barzagli, Guardiola, and Duncan surrounded Real Madrid's left winger Solari.

Deng Kai noticed Solari's hesitation and decisively launched a tackle.

Solari fell to the ground, and the ball came to Deng Kai's feet.

Real Madrid players complained that Deng Kai committed a foul.

But Deng Kai turned around and passed the ball to Ronaldinho in front of him.

The referee shook his head, indicating that the tackle was legal and not a foul.

Ronaldinho dribbled the ball in a series of dazzling moves, cutting from the right flank to the center.

He even used a "scooping the moon from the bottom of the sea" move to dribble past his compatriot Carlos.

The latter is indeed somewhat ineffective on the defensive end.

But the next moment, Mark came up and grabbed the gun.

Ronaldinho dodged Mark's tackle with a flick of the ball, but was brought down in the process.

The referee immediately blew his whistle.

And then he went to the area to warn Mark.

Fortunately, the referee did not show a card.

"This is a free kick in a pretty good position, Sporting Lisbon will probably choose to shoot directly at the goal."

"This team has Ronaldinho, Duncan, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Kaká all with a good free kick. Who will take it?"

"Oh, Deng Kai is here. Ronaldinho has passed the ball to Deng Kai."

"From the perspective of the team's status, this arrangement is perfectly reasonable. When facing strong opponents, it's good to let the team leader take the lead first to boost morale."

"But statistically speaking, Ronaldinho might be a better fit. Because Duncan has failed to score from his last five free kicks. His free kick scoring efficiency is lower than Ronaldinho's."

"Okay, Deng Kai is retreating. Real Madrid's wall is very tight. These top players have excellent awareness on both offense and defense."

"This might be the most expensive wall of players Deng Kai has ever encountered. Zidane, Figo, Raul, Hierro..."

Inside a private box at the stadium.

Florentino Pérez smiled and said to the UEFA president, "They can't score. My wall is worth over 200 million! Even Beckham would come and come back empty-handed."

The president of Sporting Lisbon asked, "What if Beckham breaks through this wall?"

Florentino shrugged: "Then let's buy Beckham too!"

The voice just fell.

Bang!

Deng Kai kicked the football away.

The moment he touched the ball, his body tilted at an extremely large angle.

Its arms are outstretched like wings.

This move is a bit awkward; very few players would do this when taking a free kick.

This puts too much pressure on the ankle in an instant, making it easy to get injured.

Among the well-known players in football, only one person prefers to take free kicks in this way.

In an instant, Deng Kai, wearing a black jersey, and Beckham, wearing a red jersey, seemed to overlap.

Yes.

Beckham!

Whoosh!

The football flew past Zidane's ear as he jumped up. Realizing something, he turned his head and opened his eyes.

A curved blade hung straight into the corner of Real Madrid's goal.

"This...goal! Deng Kai! Deng Kai scores directly from a free kick!"

"One-one! Sporting Lisbon has come back strong to equalize in less than five minutes!"

"Deng Kai's free-kick technique has visibly improved."

"This goal is reminiscent of Beckham! It's so similar! From the way he took the penalty to the curve of the ball, it's exactly Beckham's curve, a crescent moon!"

"It is well known that Beckham and Duncan have a good relationship. Beckham's wife, Victoria, often hangs out with Duncan's girlfriend, Hathaway, and his rumored girlfriend, Keira."

"Deng Kai's free kicks might have been improved at these kinds of gatherings."

"Let's congratulate Deng Kai on becoming the youngest player to score against Real Madrid this century!"

on site.

The Real Madrid fans' chanting stopped abruptly.

This was followed by Sporting Lisbon's team anthem.

The fans from both sides were vying for attention, neither side willing to concede defeat.

This time, the camera focused on the expressions of Real Madrid goalkeeper Sanchez and substitute goalkeeper Casillas.

It's easy to see from their expressions that there was nothing they could do about conceding the goal. They weren't regretful because they couldn't have done any better than they had.

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