Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Many of them were wearing the number nine jersey that Cristiano Ronaldo received this season.

CD fans are generally fans of all three teams: Manchester United, Manchester City, and Sporting Lisbon.

However, CD fans are a large group in Manchester City and are considered mainstream.

Manchester United's size is much smaller, so they can only be considered a non-mainstream team.

Manchester City made a slight adjustment to their formation for this match:

Baggio, Adriano, Ribery

Touré, Essien, Dunkay

Lahm, Chiellini, Hierro, Maicon

Cech

My sister-in-law, who strongly requested to return to the game in the previous round, is now sitting on the bench.

His injury has fully healed, but the crushing defeat in the last round left him with no room for criticism regarding Chiellini's starting position.

You go, you go.

Once you're completely crushed, it'll be my turn.

Soon, at six o'clock in the afternoon, the match kicked off.

The fifth minute.

Ribery received a pass from Deng Kai and delivered a cross from the byline.

He is currently the team's only demolition expert, and his individual performance is quite good, but the team's coordination is terrible.

boom!

Li Weifeng won the first ball and cleared it away.

Touré received the ball just outside the penalty area and played a through ball.

Baggio completed the shot amidst the chaos.

Unfortunately, there were too many players in the penalty area, and Baggio's only possible shooting route still went wide of the goal.

Many commentators know why Manchester City's attendance rate is actually quite good.

On the one hand, there is indeed traffic.

In addition, there are gimmicks such as the Chinese derby and the king of the home field.

But most importantly, this team plays a very brave style of play.

This is a typical attacking team.

They might lose by a lot of goals, but the games will be absolutely exciting and entertaining.

The experience of watching a game at home is far superior to simply looking at the ratings after the match.

Eleventh minute.

Deng Kai and Li Gang met by chance.

Li Gang rushed forward to grab the weapon.

Deng Kai easily bypassed Li Gang with a dribbling ball and then delivered a through ball over the top.

Adriano took the lead, finally making a perfect move after receiving the ball, and then unleashing a powerful shot to score.

"Goal!"

"Manchester City are really in the lead!"

"Adriano! This young center forward from Inter Milan has finally scored after a long goal drought!"

The camera panned to Adriano, and he was crying! He was so moved! This must have been incredibly difficult for him!

"Players usually experience some discomfort when they leave their familiar environment."

"But once you score that first goal, things will be much easier. After Adriano's 'blessing,' he might just go on a scoring spree!"

"Wait...what...it was blown away?"

"Oh! Adriano's goal was offside, this..."

"It's really disallowed! The score is still 0-0!"

"The referee showed Adriano a yellow card for taking off his shirt in celebration. Adriano was still arguing with the referee when Duncan forcibly dragged him away!"

"It's so heartbreaking; Adriano's grief is palpable."

Cried.

Ade really cried.

He wants to go home!

The logic behind the Premier League is just too difficult!

This setback clearly affected Adriano's enthusiasm.

Seventeenth minute.

Frustrated by the lack of Adriano's support, Ribery forced a long-range shot, which absurdly flew into the stands.

The fans at the stadium could no longer tolerate the players' poor performance and started booing.

It's for Ribery, and also for Adriano.

Adria is weak!

Airplane!

The closer a player is to the goal and the more possession they have, the more vulnerable they are to attacks in this situation.

In fact, it's not necessarily true that the other players performed exceptionally well.

But their advantage is that they appear on camera less often.

Even Fonte, who angrily threw his hands up on the bench to freely express his emotions, received applause and support from the home fans.

The person who contributed the least became the hero.

The boos were heard a couple more times when Ribery and Adriano received the ball.

The young Manchester City players instantly lost their confidence.

Keep in mind, these are home fans.

That's the rejection of 70,000 people!

28th minute.

The negative consequences of this booing have emerged.

After Maicon went down, he used an inverted triangle to find Ribery pulling on the ribs.

Ribery could have taken a long-range shot after receiving the ball.

His left foot is reliable when there is space.

But Ribery did not choose to shoot.

He fears.

Ribery opted for dribbling.

Li Weifeng anticipated Ribery's shot and blocked it in advance, but Ribery managed to get past him.

Ribery dribbled into the right side of the penalty area.

This makes it easier to shoot.

but……

boom!

Ribery made a cross pass to Adriano.

If it were Adriano's old temper or his first instinct during training, he would definitely have unleashed a powerful shot.

But Adriano was afraid too!

Instead of shooting immediately, he feinted and passed the ball back to Ribery.

Football has become a hot potato.

Manchester City fans must have felt incredibly frustrated at that moment.

"Shoot!"

"Shoot quickly!"

"Go ahead and fight!"

"Coward! Break down the door!"

"I'm truly impressed by this pair of brilliant strategists!"

"This is outrageous!"

"Get out!"

"Rubbish!"

As Ribery received the ball, it was poked away by the onrushing center-back.

Manchester City fans were almost driven mad with anger.

They were seething with anger.

The atmosphere at the entire home stadium suddenly plummeted to freezing point.

Countless insults are already lingering in the throats of the fans.

The next moment, they...

boom!

next moment!

A burst of Manchester blue light appeared.

Manchester City's number 10 rushed into the penalty area and, under the watchful eyes of three Everton defenders and three Manchester City teammates, unleashed a powerful shot!

Swish!

The football sent a white spray flying!

This kind of violent, aesthetically pleasing shot is reminiscent of Batistuta in Serie A!

After a brief silence, Maine Road Stadium trembled instantly.

"Goal!"

"Deng Kai!"

"Deng Kai stepped forward!"

"A stunning shot! Deng Kai unleashed the fury of all Manchester City fans with this strike!"

"That shot was absolutely top-notch!"

"Make way, make way, make way for what? Adriano and Ribery should really learn from Duncan!"

"Roar!" After scoring, Duncan roared at Everton's defenders.

He then clenched his fist and celebrated the goal with great enthusiasm.

Manchester City's morale has surged.

Adriano and Ribery quickly joined Duncan in the celebration.

"Kick with confidence! If anything gets difficult, just hand the ball to me! This is our territory! This is Manchester!" Deng Kai shouted to his teammates.

The teammates all kept it in mind.

Baggio nodded to himself.

It must be said that Deng Kai's leadership skills are truly outstanding.

He doesn't usually act tough, but when it really matters... he stepped up!

The impact of such a crucial goal is something that some players might not achieve even with more than ten goals!

"Oh! Deng Kai is still interacting with the fans, he's clinging to Ribery and Adriano to signal for cheers!"

"He's so good to his teammates!"

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