Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Faced with this unreasonable demand, Milutinovic and Maksa publicly stated that it was impossible.

They believe that a player as strong as Deng Kai can start directly even without any adaptation.

Moreover, Deng Kai has already proven everything with two training matches.

Subsequently, a senior executive of the football club inquired about the matter and stated that Deng Kai's condition was extremely serious and he definitely could not start.

Despite the pressure, Maxa insisted on starting Duncan, and ultimately Maxa was stripped of his decision-making power!

Maksa was completely sidelined, but he still refused to cooperate with the football league's management, and was eventually invited by the football league to go on vacation to Sanya.

He doesn't need to worry about football anymore.

Milutinovic was impressed by Maksa's determination.

But he didn't have that courage, so he could only choose to compromise.

The issue of Maksa being sidelined has sparked some discussion in China, with many people expressing concern about the national football team's performance in the World Cup.

However, the relevant media immediately began to publicize Deng Kai's achievements once again.

Simply put, if you have any questions, think about Deng Kai. Do you still have any questions?

Deng Kai has become a panacea for all the problems plaguing mainland Chinese football.

The prevailing opinion remains that the Chinese national football team should aim for a top-four finish and potentially win the World Cup.

finally.

The Korea-Japan World Cup is about to begin.

It was only then that mainland media revealed that Deng Kai was no longer at the training camp, but was visiting Hathaway on the set of a movie in England!

And it wasn't just one media outlet, but countless media outlets.

As if they had reached a consensus, they began to criticize Deng Kai for his unprofessionalism, attitude, and lack of patriotism.

Their attitudes changed drastically overnight.

It confused everyone.

Did the wind change direction that quickly?

The ultimate result of these opinions is that when Deng Kai is not in the starting lineup of the national football team, the football team has something to say and can find reasons and evidence to support their claims.

We didn't just casually put Deng Kai on the bench, as the media can attest!

This has made countless people who bet on the Chinese national football team to reach the World Cup semi-finals extremely anxious.

However, everyone also has faith in the football team. Not starting Deng Kai in the first game was also to give him a warning and make him perform well in the second game.

After all, the second match against Türkiye is a tough battle.

Therefore, the Chinese national football team will definitely win the second match against Türkiye.

As for the first match against Costa Rica... well, it was a simple matter of defeating Hua Xiong with a cup of warm wine.

A team whose name I've never even heard of is not worth worrying about!

In this way, by taking advantage of Deng Kai's joining the national team, the national team's goal was raised to securing a top-four finish and competing for the championship. Then, by subtracting Deng Kai... the national team's strength remained unchanged, but people's perception of the national team's strength changed.

From initially being told that qualifying was difficult and that it was a matter of striving to qualify, it has now become a matter of being certain to qualify but finding it difficult to reach the semi-finals.

This unreasonable conversion was completed very smoothly with the help of the media.

It was a complete swindle!

But the score doesn't lie.

Zero to two!

The Chinese national football team suffered a crushing defeat in the first round of the group stage.

Many people described the match as a "mistake" or a "careless loss."

European media outlets that were paying close attention to the Chinese national football team because of Deng Kai were stunned.

Especially the Portuguese media.

You guys... you were completely dominated by Costa Rica the whole time, what kind of carelessness is that?

Judging from this, even if Deng Kai plays, it's hard to say whether they can win against Türkiye.

European media even launched a major discussion on this, with more than half of the media outlets believing that the Chinese team could defeat Türkiye if Deng Kai were on the field.

Another 30% believe that at least a draw is possible.

This is the influence of winning ten championships in two years.

Since winning the Champions League this year, Deng Kai's influence has soared.

His choice of the Chinese team, in particular, caused his popularity to skyrocket.

Even European media outlets have fallen into the "Cayenne is invincible" argument, and domestic fans have an even simpler idea.

Send Deng Kai and massacre Türkiye!

In the third match, the Chinese national football team will fight hard against Brazil, who have likely already qualified!

The chances of winning are very high!

Isn't this perfectly reasonable?

The result of the second round of the group stage was... 0-3!

China suffered a crushing defeat!

In particular, the scene of Deng Kai angrily throwing down his towel and rushing into the locker room after the 90th minute, which was the end of the match, made headlines.

Europeans were stunned.

Bild: "You can hardly explain why the Chinese team didn't field Deng Kai!"

Kicker: "Any normal person would have started Deng Kai in this match. Even if not, they should have brought him on as a substitute early in the second half. But the Chinese made an arrangement we never imagined!"

Sky Sports: "The Chinese coaching team has acted in ways we cannot comprehend! What exactly is Milutinovic doing?"

La Repubblica: "According to sources, Milutinovic has completely lost control of the Chinese team, but he can't say anything, otherwise he'll face huge compensation!"

France Football: "This is a disappointing day for football fans worldwide! Everyone thought the Chinese team, making their first-ever appearance in the World Cup, would put on a great show, but in the end... it seems they never even considered winning!"

Tuttosport: "We can't find any other reason than that they don't want to win! This Chinese team is abnormal!"

Dongqiudi (a Chinese sports website): "The complaint hotline has been overwhelmed! Over 30 million Dongqiudi users have made a real-name request to let Deng Kai play!"

Football News: "The coaching staff made a mistake, and someone must step forward and take responsibility. Of course, Deng Kai's uncooperative attitude was also the trigger for the incident; if he had apologized to the coaching staff, things wouldn't have escalated to this point!"

But regardless of foreign media speculation or mainland media guidance, everyone's conclusion is... Deng Kai will definitely play in the third game.

however……

Deng Kai is still not in the starting lineup.

The fans are absolutely furious this time.

But their outrage came too late.

Because the World Cup for the Chinese team has already ended.

Throughout the entire game, Deng Kai remained on the bench.

Strangely, after the team lost to Brazil with a dismal 0-4 score, Deng Kai sighed but then slowly smiled.

The Chinese team lost.

But he... won!

Numerous reporters flooded the stadium, surrounding Deng Kai and asking him how he felt.

He was asked if he regretted joining the national football team.

Deng Kai shook his head: "Of course I don't regret it. On the contrary, I am honored to be able to participate in this World Cup in this way."

"Perhaps I haven't been able to leave anything for fans in other countries, but this is all I could contribute to Chinese football as a Chinese football player!"

"Here I declare... the dawn has broken for Chinese football!"

After speaking, Deng Kai left the court.

Instead of returning home, they went directly to Lisbon.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be difficult for him to return to China in the future, because starting today, too many people want him to disappear.

Deng Kai's words were unclear, and many reporters did not understand what he meant.

Online, many knowledgeable Chinese football fans are already lamenting:

"I told you long ago not to let Deng Kai come back, but you wouldn't listen!"

"Now look what happened! They held such a trump card, but failed to play it until they were eliminated!"

"This is outrageous! I, Kai Shao, have never been treated like this before!"

"Magical! I feel like I'm living in the Dark Ages of Europe!"

"There's definitely something wrong here! Why are they suppressing Deng Kai and preventing him from playing!"

"Go back! Deng Kai, go back to Portugal immediately! Never come back to the national team again!"

"Too late! Kai is already on the roster for the game, which counts as playing time. Even if he goes to Portugal now, he won't be able to represent Portugal for another eight years!"

"This... I'm going to explode instantly!"

"I'd rather Deng Kai regain his Portuguese citizenship, really! I'll always support this Chinese football king! But I absolutely don't want him to be ruined by these parasites in the domestic football system!"

Of course, there were also a very small number of people who attacked Deng Kai.

Questions were raised about why Deng Kai wasn't playing.

The group mainly consisted of reporters from the Football News.

They were clearly there on a mission to release some news.

But these media outlets quickly ran out of steam.

Because they sensed some sensitive information.

Or perhaps the actual controllers of these media outlets have been successively invited by the authorities for questioning.

It started from the moment Deng Kai said, "It's dawn."

A super storm has swept through the Chinese football scene!

The significance of Deng Kai's return to China is not just about playing football, but about making people clearly see... even if this country has a football king!

The Chinese national football team can't even win!

We can't win!

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