Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Next, we'll see what those two young men do—oh no… we'll see what Cristiano Ronaldo does.

After all, although Deng Kai has regained his Portuguese citizenship, he has been included in the Chinese team's match roster three times in a row. If he wants to play for the Portuguese national team, he will have to wait at least eight... etc.

It seems... we don't have to wait that long?

……

France Football: "Breaking News! Triguera bids farewell to Sporting Lisbon! Where will he go next?"

Sky Sports: "Breaking News! Portuguese Football Federation Dismisses National Team Coach Oliveira!"

Dongqiudi: "A divine coach returns, ushering in an era of boundless glory for the Diamond Generation! The Portuguese Football Federation officially announces Triguera as the new national team coach!"

boom!

Following China's dramatic exit from the World Cup, Portugal also unleashed their own powerful attack after their own elimination!

Changing the coach is a big deal.

This change of coach by the Portuguese Football Federation signifies the official handover between the golden generation and the diamond generation!

This is at least two to four years earlier than people expected!

Looking at these news reports, many fans are asking, "Who is Triglav?"

The veteran fans got excited right away.

Triguera, the first person to develop a youth player in Portugal!

Top-tier coaches in world football!

Even the world's number one head coach this year!

Ten titles in three years!

Moreirense wins the double!

Sporting Lisbon, five-time UEFA Champions League winners!

Sporting Lisbon wins the Champions League treble!

You know Wenger, right?

Wenger is the Premier League version of Triguera!

You know Maxa, right?

These two were equally brilliant and complemented each other perfectly!

Unity is strength!

If divided, both will be number one in the world!

Have you ever heard of the Prometheus of football, Kei?

Have you heard of Cristiano Ronaldo, the European Golden Boot winner?

Barcelona's new king Quaresma, Inter Milan's crown prince Viana, and Liverpool's winger Simão were all trained by him!

I would call Triguera and Maxija the "Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chick" of the head coaching profession in my mind!

Trigra: I declined.

The first thing Trigra did after taking office was to draft the national team roster for the warm-up matches in the second half of this year.

He emphasized that many new and old players will appear in the warm-up matches in the second half of the year and next year, with the aim of screening them.

So players who weren't selected shouldn't be sad, and those who were selected shouldn't be careless.

In addition, the 2003 Toulon Tournament was Triguera's second selection process, which focused on some very young players who could not make it into the national team.

He will decide on the 23-man squad for Euro 2004 based on the players' performance at the Toulon Tournament!

The former targets veterans and established players, while the latter targets young players; Triguera's strategy reflects the principle of treating everyone equally.

As the host of Euro 2004, Portugal automatically qualified for the main tournament and did not need to play in the European qualifiers.

The advantage is that there is no pressure, and I won't miss the European Cup.

The downside is that without a battlefield, it's difficult to select truly outstanding players.

Especially at this juncture of the transition between the golden generation and the diamond generation.

Triglar's approach solved this problem.

But just when everyone thought Triguera had handled things quite well, he did something unprecedented in world football.

In front of dozens of media outlets, he took out a blank sheet of paper and wrote his name in the very center.

The reporters quickly zoomed in, and finally managed to make out the name...

Deng Kai!

"I know many people are still reeling from this year's World Cup exit, many fans, including many professional players," Triguera said seriously. "But I hope the players can recover from the defeat as soon as possible."

"Because one player has already been selected for the 23-man squad for Portugal's 2004 European Championship, you must work hard to compete for the remaining 22 spots!"

"Every time a player is confirmed for my roster, I announce it to the world on public platforms."

"I hope this will motivate the players on this list, and those who aspire to be on it!"

"Similarly, the earlier you get into this squad, the greater the tactical support you'll likely receive! As the first player selected for this squad, I can confidently tell everyone that my Portuguese team will be, and will only be, built around Duncan!"

"I declare that this miraculous storm in Lisbon will sweep across Europe in 2004!"

boom!

Although there was no thunderous cheer.

But the reporters present all felt that their inner world had collapsed.

They had never seen such a scene before.

This is outrageous!

A national team coach announced his European Championship roster two years in advance!

They actually selected a boy who wasn't even seventeen years old as the team's sole core player two years in advance!

This is where the difference between reporters becomes apparent.

The Record reporter reacted very quickly.

Portugal has just been eliminated from the World Cup, and this is the lowest point in the morale of their golden generation.

Establishing Deng Kai as the core figure at this juncture may seem absurd, but it is actually full of calculations.

If we can't establish ourselves now, it will be even more difficult two years from now.

After all, most members of the golden generation may indeed not be able to play in the European Championship in two years.

But what about Figo and Ruyin Costa?

It wouldn't be surprising if their peak performance continued until 2006.

Trigra is too shrewd!

Back home in front of the television, Zidane was pondering a second layer of meaning, explaining to his eldest son, Enzo Zidane: "He only named Duncan, not Ronaldo."

"Because Ronaldo has already played with Figo and others, and has gained the approval of the golden generation."

"When the two generations truly hand over power, Ronaldo will be the good cop and Duncan the bad cop. And the way the relatively weaker Golden Generation will counter Triguera and Duncan is by supporting Ronaldo."

"As a striker, Ronaldo needs the support of his teammates."

"But as the midfield core, Deng Kai not only doesn't need much support from his teammates, but he's actually the one providing support. Even in the worst-case scenario, the team's fighting power won't be greatly affected."

"This was a deliberate move to leave a way out for the Golden Generation, and they had no choice but to accept it."

"After all, having Cristiano Ronaldo to carry on the legacy of the golden generation is better than completely changing the world."

"But there's one last problem, and that is..."

At the scene, a reporter from Bora newspaper asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Triguera, we know you and Duncan have a very good personal relationship. But if you arbitrarily determine the national team roster because of this, how will you explain it to all the Portuguese fans?"

"Confirming the national team roster two years in advance is unheard of! Even Zidane, Ronaldo, and Beckham didn't receive this treatment!"

Trigla laughed: "Why don't you name a few players who haven't been beaten by Duncan?"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

This……

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