Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Wycombe was really fired up by those two goals.

What happened to the easy target?

At the coach's signal, the Wycombe players launched a pressing attack that lasted for ten minutes.

This effectively thwarted Manchester City's offensive.

However, thanks to the runs and support from Duncan and Toure, Manchester City maintained possession throughout the game.

This is also related to the fact that the pressure from the Wycombe players was not enough.

This lack of pressure doesn't mean they lack a positive attitude, but rather that their abilities are limited.

Not fast enough, not physically strong enough.

Manchester City's players weren't worried at all about being fouled after passing the ball.

The short Essien even managed to knock down an opponent after passing the ball, but didn't receive a card for legitimate self-defense.

Forty-fourth minute.

Wycombe launched a counter-attack after Toure's through ball was intercepted.

Their striker even managed a shot on goal.

But Leman played exceptionally well and held onto the ball.

Just as the Wycombe players turned around to prepare to retreat on defense.

boom!

Lehman suddenly launched a long ball.

The camera instantly moved to the front of the scene.

Deng Kai has already taken the lead and charged towards the opponent's half.

Behind him was Wycombe's entire defensive line.

Wycombe's players raised their hands to indicate that Duncan was offside.

But the linesman did not raise his flag.

Clearly, Deng Kai successfully broke the offside trap and completed a super-fast attack with Lehman.

Because of Deng Kai's care, Lai Man paid close attention to Deng Kai's requests and always complied with them.

Wycombe's goalkeeper rushed out of the six-yard box, but dared not rush out of the penalty area.

Because Deng Kai is already close to football.

This kind of half-hearted attack is the worst.

boom!

After the ball landed, Deng Kai immediately flicked it with his wrist.

He completed an extremely long-range lob shot from three meters outside the penalty area.

The Wycombe goalkeeper jumped to make a save, but couldn't touch the ball at all.

The football, like a rainbow, glides into the goal.

"Hahaha! A clever lob shot!"

"Deng Kai has such excellent vision; his handling of the ball is always just right!"

"This lob shot fully demonstrates Deng Kai's imagination."

"Lehman got an assist, which is very rare for a goalkeeper!"

"Like I said, it's really unfair to make Leman a substitute for Cech. Manchester City should start Leman more often."

First half.

Manchester City are leading 3-0!

This situation was unexpected by many.

The English media remained silent.

Wycombe is a pretty good team for League One, and they fielded their best lineup for this match.

How could they not beat a rotated Manchester City squad?

Could it be that... the legend of the King of Manchester continues?

That can't be right.

Didn't they say they were all fake?

During halftime, Huang Jianxiang's Dongqiudi account was bombarded with mentions.

"Holy crap! My brother Xiang is still the best!"

"For commentary, you have to watch Huang Jianxiang; he really knows football!"

"You were right! Manchester City 3-0!"

"Don't rush, bro, it's only halfway through. There might still be more to come in the second half."

"That's right, Huang Jianxiang said it was 3-0 or 5-0!"

"Awesome!"

"I'm begging Huang Jianxiang to broadcast this game live on Dongqiudi. Those two on Channel 5 are so unenthusiastic—one's a neutral observer, the other's a Celtics hater. What's the point of me?"

"Exactly. These days, aren't Chinese fans watching games mainly for Deng Kai?"

"I know Manchester City might be having a tough time, but isn't this exactly when they need your support? Oh, all you self-proclaimed football experts are telling me Manchester City is no good. Can't I see that Manchester City is no good?"

"If you really know football, you should either tell me beforehand that Manchester City isn't good enough, or you should speak up like Brother Huang and encourage Manchester City to succeed. Stop being a parrot of foreign media! It's annoying!"

……

The second half begins.

Wycombe's players clearly drank a pot of fiery locker room chicken soup.

They all put in their best effort and fought hard once again.

They didn't care whether they had enough energy after seventy minutes.

It's 3-0. If we don't score now, how will we catch up later?

For a moment, Manchester City's passing in their own half encountered tremendous resistance.

Deng Kai immediately retreated to help his teammates pass the ball and signaled them to push forward.

When faced with pressure, you have to suppress it.

Manchester City began to move forward.

The defensive line is almost at the center circle.

Forty-eighth minute.

Wycombe's attacking players initiated a pressing attack.

Grosso, not daring to take any risks, passed the ball across to Deng Kai, who had moved to the center-back position.

Facing the oncoming opposing striker, Deng Kai swung his right leg.

The other person leaped to block the gun barrel.

However, Deng Kai twisted his foot, turned around, and created space, thus outmaneuvering his opponent.

boom!

Deng Kai then unleashed a long pass with his left foot.

Torres cuts inside without the ball.

Touré started before insertion.

Both players were rushing towards the ball's landing point.

The opposing defenders engaged in a fierce battle with them.

None of them managed to reach their destination.

Wycombe's goalkeeper rushed out with passion, leaping up to kick the ball back into Manchester City's half.

however……

After the football landed, it may have been due to the unevenness of the grass.

A slight edge line appeared.

Moreover, the force of the ball was much greater than the goalkeeper had estimated.

It bounced quite high.

It went just over the goalkeeper's raised foot.

An intersection.

The goalkeeper couldn't even hook the ball back with his hand.

After landing, he turned to look at the football.

The soccer ball bounced and bounced into the goal.

Maine Road Stadium was completely silent.

Manchester City fans only cheered enthusiastically when Deng Kai raised his hands high!

"Incredible! The Wycombe goalkeeper made a huge mistake!"

"His attacks were of very poor quality!"

"He didn't even touch the ball!"

"That was a lob shot from the center circle! Absolutely incredible!"

"Four to zero! Deng Kai completes his hat trick!"

"Another hat-trick! Deng Kai has now scored a total of ten goals in both competitions, completing three hat-tricks!"

"Deng Kai is on fire! It's harder to stop him from scoring just one goal than to see him score a hat-trick!"

Grosso provided his second assist.

"If Grosso was the main contributor to Torres' assist, then he really got a lucky break! That's an assist I could have made too!"

"We were just saying that Leman's assist was a bit too easy, and now Grosso has immediately shown us that there are even easier ones!"

"So all these Manchester City players are just lying around, huh?"

"Are they all hoping Deng Kai will score? That's so unambitious! Hahaha!"

At the stadium, the fans' unified chants rang out from the stands:

"King of Manchester!"

"Manchester, your Emperor is back!"

Passersby outside, upon hearing the enthusiastic noise from Maine Road Stadium, knew that Manchester City must have scored again.

And quite a lot.

Many Manchester residents say they can now tell the score by the cheers coming from Main Road.

Manchester City has become lively due to the arrival of Duncan and Manchester City's return to the Premier League.

This liveliness is purely physical.

Most residents are satisfied and proud of this situation.

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