Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"Manchester City fans were incredibly generous! They completely forgave their grievances against Ribery and Adriano!"

"If Ribery and Adriano's timidity in shooting was disappointing, then Duncan showed everyone why he is the Champions League Player of the Year!"

"He never disappoints!"

This goal became a turning point.

The morale of Manchester City is soaring.

Thirty-seventh minute.

Everton striker Kevin Campbell made a forward run and created an opportunity by dribbling past defenders, then backheeled the ball to them.

The team's center forward, Radzinski, followed up with a long-range shot.

Unfortunately, the football also flew into the stands.

Radzinskiy's condition was clearly affected by the fans in the stadium, and his body was not fully relaxed.

Otherwise, he should have scored in that opportunity.

First half stoppage time.

Deng Kai launched the team's final attack, executing a series of stepovers.

Finally, he feinted a run and then passed the ball to Toure, who was making a run down the flank.

Toure unleashed a powerful shot!

Everton's goalkeeper made a superb save.

But the melancholic prince Baggio, like a fox in the penalty area, followed up and scored.

"Goal! Two-nil! Roberto..."

"Baggio!"

"Baggio has scored his first Premier League goal! This is a momentous occasion!"

"No wonder Manchester City's home ground is packed with fans; they really got their money's worth!"

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, they will not only witness Baggio's goal, but also another victory for Manchester City at home!"

"The Manchester United fans who came today were wise; they got to see a great game."

Halftime break.

Deng Kai communicated with Adriano and Ribery.

Maxi then substituted Robbie Fowler and Torres for the two players.

Fowler plays center forward.

Torres plays as a right winger.

The second half.

With Ribery off the pitch, Manchester City's attack became more fluid.

Deng Kai passes the ball to the left and right.

Ram and Maicon took turns inserting it.

Maicon and Torres, in particular, are both extremely fast, posing a challenge to Everton's defense.

Fifty minutes.

Fowler dropped back to receive the ball and passed it to Baggio.

Baggio's heel struck instantly.

Lahm dribbled down the wing and finished the run to the byline.

boom!

Lahm crossed from the byline; the ball had a very good curve.

As Fowler retreated, Toure had already moved forward.

This moment just happened to coincide with the occasion.

Unfortunately, Toure's header went wide of the goal.

Adriano, sitting on the bench, remarked that if it had been him, that header would have gone in.

What a pity!

Fonte laughed from the side.

You probably wouldn't even dare to go into the penalty area, let alone head the ball.

Sixty-third minute.

After receiving a pass from his teammate in the center circle, Radzinski began to dribble, while Essien, positioned a bit far away, had to chase back.

Ultimately, Radzinski dribbled the ball and unleashed a long-range shot from just outside the penalty area before Essien arrived.

boom!

Cech made a brilliant save.

Everton were awarded a corner kick.

Sixty-fourth minute.

Everton took a corner kick, and Hierro won the first ball.

Torres rushed out of the penalty area to get the second ball, then passed it back to Maicon before turning and running away.

boom!

Maicon passed the ball across to Duncan, who was standing nearby, to avoid Kevin Campbell's pressure.

boom!

Deng Kai made a quick pass and shot, a long pass that found its mark, getting the ball into the attacking third.

Torres took off, sprinting towards the football.

Seeing that Torres was about to touch the ball, Li Weifeng had no choice but to bring Torres down in a tug-of-war.

The referee immediately blew his whistle.

Li Weifeng received a yellow card.

"Torres is very impactful, and he's extremely fast. Li Weifeng had no choice but to foul him."

"This is a free kick from about 23 meters away from the goal."

"This position is now within Deng Kai's free-kick range."

"Although Cristiano Ronaldo's shooting skills were considered exceptional during his time at Sporting Lisbon, Duncan was Sporting Lisbon's primary free-kick taker."

"He possesses a variety of free-kick skills, with a range covering free kicks from very close range just outside the penalty area to extremely long-range free kicks from over 30 meters away from the goal."

Will Deng Kai be able to seize this opportunity?

"In an earlier Manchester United match, Beckham scored a brilliant free kick, helping the team secure a 1-1 draw."

"Is Manchester's free kick defense consistent?"

boom!

It's right there in the narration.

Deng Kai rushed towards the football.

His last step was particularly large.

His right leg was raised high, and his arms were outstretched, like a soaring eagle.

His body tilted at a very high angle, and his ankle underwent an exaggerated deformation at that moment.

Manchester United fans who came to Maine Road Stadium looking for fun were stunned.

These free kicks... I'm all too familiar with them!

This is……

Swish!

A scimitar cleaved through the Manchester twilight.

The ball flew straight into the top corner of the goal!

"this……"

"Goal!"

"Goal! Deng Kai scores directly from a free kick!"

"Three-nil! Manchester City have undoubtedly secured a victory early on!"

"The camera panned across countless fans wearing red Manchester United jerseys, and their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost."

"Yes, they really saw a ghost. Because they actually witnessed Manchester United's superstar Beckham's signature skill at another stadium outside of Old Trafford!"

"Bai's curve, a crescent moon!"

"That kick by Deng Kai just now was absolutely Beckham's free kick!"

"Last season in the Champions League, Deng Kai scored a goal with a beautiful free kick. At the time, some people questioned whether it was just good luck on his part."

"But now, we can be absolutely certain that Deng Kai knows this move! Beckham really taught Deng Kai this trick!"

"From now on, Manchester City also has their own Dunckham!"

Splash!

The audience erupted in applause.

Fans cheered for Deng Kai's brace.

Manchester City's home ground is too solid!

Who else is there?

The substitution board was displayed on the sidelines.

Everton couldn't sit still any longer.

They substituted Li Gang, a defensive midfielder whose performance had been mediocre, with Wayne Rooney, the team's youngest youth academy talent and a forward.

Everton are fighting hard.

70th minute.

Kyle Campbell made a run down the wing, exploiting the space behind Lahm and creating an opportunity.

Chiellini went to cover, but Kyle Campbell's physical strength was quite good, giving Chiellini a surprise by pushing past the unprepared player.

boom!

Kyle Campbell swept a powerful cross across the face of goal.

boom!

Hierro overpowered Radzinski and touched the football.

The ball was out of control inside the penalty area.

boom!

Rooney, who had just come on as a substitute, seized the opportunity and unleashed a powerful shot, almost replicating Deng Kai's first goal.

He was killed in a single blow amidst a vast army.

"Goal! Everton finally score!"

"Wayne Rooney! The youngest Premier League player in Everton's history is performing very well!"

"We seem to see a new star of Great Britain rising!"

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