Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Looking at it from a macro perspective, it becomes clear that players from certain regions tend to play in a few specific leagues.

Their considerations were mainly based on region and language.

These two factors have an even greater influence on young players when choosing a team than the team's reputation.

For Manchester City, a "big international team" with players from all over the world, language is actually a major problem.

If you can't speak the language, forget about tactics; even a simple greeting will be a problem.

But Deng Kai solved this problem.

Moreover, as the team leader and tactical core, as long as Deng Kai can communicate with other players, he can basically solve 90% of the team's tactical problems.

The remaining 10% is the issue of communication between the other players.

Ninth minute.

Deng Kai used a brilliant Marseille turn to get past Jermaine in the middle lane.

Applause immediately erupted in the audience.

boom!

Deng Kai delivered a through ball.

Adriano received the ball and immediately went one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

boom!

Adriano unleashed a powerful shot without stopping the ball.

The opposing goalkeeper came out, and he didn't have much time to react.

Moreover, he had been practicing Batistuta's goal during this period, focusing on receiving the ball and then unleashing a powerful shot or a direct shot.

puff!

The ball hit the opposing goalkeeper.

Ultimately, the opposing team caught the ball before Adriano could get a shot off.

"Oh! What a pity! This was such a great opportunity!"

"The goal that was almost in his grasp has slipped away! Adriano!"

"What a waste of Deng Kai's brilliant pass! That through ball, combined with his earlier dribbling, could easily have been one of the top five goals of the round!"

"Adriano possesses explosive physical talent and exaggerated athleticism, but in actual combat, he has consistently failed to live up to his threat!"

"He needs more time, but it's unclear how much more time Manchester City can give him."

Deng Kai's answer to this was that it would take a long time.

Adriano did not fail to deliver on his threat; in fact, he did so twice.

He has already mastered the Barty goal twice.

However, for some reason, he was unable to activate this powerful exclusive skill.

It made him appear as if he hadn't brought his shooting boots.

However, the shooting boots won't disappear.

It simply went from Adriano's feet to the exploiters' feet.

After this pass, Deng Kai was marked.

Manchester City's offensive was thus slowed down.

Newcastle United gradually launched threatening attacks.

In the 32nd minute, Jermaine delivered a brilliant through ball.

Essien was penetrated.

His sister-in-law reacted a beat too slow, but he desperately stretched out his leg, squeezing out all his defensive power.

boom!

My sister-in-law made a thrilling defensive play.

It ruined football.

But then he sat on the grass, clutching his thigh.

Manchester City's team doctor enters the field.

It was believed that his sister-in-law had a muscle strain and should rest.

The sister-in-law said she could persevere.

In the early stages of the team's development, the roster was undecided.

The brother's wife already had an advantage in the starting lineup competition, but if Chiellini takes the opportunity to steal the initiative, then the brother's wife will be in trouble.

Too many star athletes have gone through this on their road to fame.

My sister-in-law doesn't want to be just a background figure for that old man.

Chiellini: Uncle? I'm only a month older than you!

But Maxa's opinion is not something his sister-in-law can influence.

With Deng Kai's slight shake of his head, Maxić replaced his sister-in-law with Chiellini.

Fighting while injured is the easiest way to create hidden dangers.

Deng Kai has high hopes for every player on this team.

We can't let injuries ruin our lives.

Forty-fourth minute.

Newcastle United were awarded a corner kick.

After the corner kick was taken, the ball was cleared.

But Newcastle players immediately surrounded the referee, slapping their arms to indicate that a Manchester City player had handled the ball.

The referee, with keen insight, spotted Adriano and showed him a yellow card.

At the same time, point the ball with your finger.

Penalty!

"No way, that's too much... Adriano conceded a penalty for handball in the box!"

"I'm truly speechless at this next Ronaldo! He can't score, and he's just feeding the ball to others?"

"I have a feeling Manchester City has messed up this deal. Could this player have been a flop?"

"With this performance, a net worth of ten million is really not worth it."

"Sigh! I originally thought Adriano was worth over ten million just for his physical attributes, and this deal was definitely a good one, but..."

Manchester City fans are used to living frugally and are relatively critical of transferred players.

In cases like Adriano's, fans of top teams simply don't care.

At least, they're willing to give Xiao Shi a chance to play a match.

But smaller teams have too little room for error; they can't afford to lose.

Ultimately, with Jermaine scoring a penalty, the score was tied 1-1 at halftime.

Manchester City fans are disheartened.

Thinking back to the 0-3 defeat in the last round, will we lose again this round?

……

After the start of the second half, both sides seemed to have made some targeted adjustments.

Newcastle United began to focus on Lahm, not giving him many open opportunities.

Manchester City then began frequently shifting passes to Ribery and Maicon on the right wing.

They made good use of the width of the field.

Some fans may not know that the size of a football field is not fixed.

Or rather, it is fixed within a relatively large range.

Even the size of a home game can sometimes change due to changes in the team's tactics.

Maine Road Stadium was the widest stadium in the Premier League for a long time.

This width is perfectly suited to Manchester City's current ball movement strategy.

Fifty-third minute.

Ribery, who received a pass from Deng Kai, showcased his dribbling talent, dribbling, cutting inside, and dribbling again, beating two players and making his way into the penalty area!

boom!

Ribery attempted a shot from a tight angle.

The football hit the side netting.

The fans at the scene expressed their regret, but also gave Ribery a round of applause in recognition.

Conversely, on the coaching bench, Maxija, Guardiola, Deschamps, and others shook their heads.

Maxa saw Deng Kai's actions and figured it was always a good idea to copy him.

Guardiola said, "Ribery's shooting skills are not good enough yet. By forcing him to shoot from a tight angle, Newcastle United completed a very good defensive play."

Deschamps nodded: "His vision is actually quite good, but he was a bit nervous and focused too much on dribbling, which prevented him from noticing his teammates' positions."

"His continuous dribbling caused him to miss the best opportunity to pass to Adriano. He also failed to see Baggio, who had a chance at the far post... His final shot looked threatening, but it was actually a close call."

Through these exchanges, Grosso, Sun Jihai, his sister-in-law, Leman, Fowler, and others gained a deeper understanding of the team's tactics.

This is a team that places great emphasis on tactical success.

Ribery's performance just now was a highlight in the eyes of most fans and the team.

After all, without a shot, there can be no goal, and Ribery has already taken what looked like a pretty good shot.

But for Manchester City, this attack was a failure.

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