Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Ferguson: You fucking can't take a game? What happened to our planned offensive battle?

Scholes was substituted and Solskjaer was brought on, and now you're telling me you're not coming?

You have a way back, but I don't!

Seventy-eighth minute.

Manchester United took the opportunity to replace Keane with Veron.

They are determined to go all the way down the offensive path.

Teams that temporarily switch from offense to defense rarely achieve good results.

Defense is mainly about a change in mindset, not just about having one more player.

Manchester United naturally seized the initiative.

In the 81st minute, Ronaldo had a good shooting opportunity outside the penalty area, but his long-range shot went wide.

Cristiano Ronaldo was very frustrated.

In fact, his physical strength was starting to wane.

He sprinted down the flanks too many times today.

If Ferguson had substituted Forlán for Ronaldo instead, keeping Van Nistelrooy on the field might have been a better choice.

But Ronaldo's performance today was just too outstanding; no one could replace him.

Eighty-third minute.

Forlán showed what makes him different from Ronaldo, delivering a brilliant through ball while dribbling.

Solskjaer stepped up.

Unfortunately, Solskjaer lacked speed, and Leman caught the ball before the baby-faced player could reach it.

Eighty-sixth minute.

Beckham delivers a cross, and the scimitar strikes again.

Diego Forlán feinted a shot at the near post.

Cristiano Ronaldo shoved Hierro and then collided with Thiago Silva, single-handedly disrupting two players who had a chance to head the ball.

boom!

Solskjaer made a late run into the box and headed the ball towards goal.

The football went into the goal.

Hierro and others immediately raised their hands, indicating that Ronaldo had committed an offensive foul.

However, the referee, adhering to the standards of the Premier League, did not issue a penalty.

Manchester United's goal stands.

Five to four!

Manchester United are just one goal away!

They must take at least one point from here!

Manchester United fans have completely lost the ambition they had when they first came here.

At least this time, they failed to conquer Maine Road Stadium.

Before the next encounter, there will be two more Manchesters.

Ninety minutes later.

The fourth official raised his sign, indicating a seven-minute extra time.

However, considering the number of goals scored, celebrations, and conflicts in the second half, this timing is understandable.

Ferguson even felt it wasn't enough.

According to his Ferguson time, he should have given ten minutes.

This timing once caused concern among Manchester City fans.

Can Manchester City withstand another seven minutes of relentless, storm-like attacks?

Then, in the first minute of stoppage time, the situation changed.

Beckham took the corner kick.

The crescent-shaped blade failed to sever the blue moon for the third time.

Adriano leaped high and headed the ball away.

After receiving the ball on the perimeter, Deng Kai dodged Veron's sliding tackle with a croquet move and launched a counter-attack.

Beside Deng Kai.

Ram and Maicon flew out one on the left and one on the right.

Together with Ribery in front, they formed a three-pronged attack!

Cristiano Ronaldo sprinted ahead, quickly closing in on Deng Kai.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.

boom!

Deng Kai sent a through ball.

boom!

Cristiano Ronaldo made a sliding tackle from behind at almost the same time.

Then she hugged Deng Kai and rolled to the ground.

The two of them sat up from the lawn and immediately looked ahead.

Because of O'Shea's defense, Duncan didn't pass the ball to Maicon, but instead passed it slightly to the left.

The ball was a little too far back; Ribery could have hooked it, but... he made a brilliant leap.

Behind Ribery, Lahm caught up with the ball and challenged Barthez one-on-one.

Barthez has no choice but to come out, otherwise Ribery will come up and it will be a two-on-one situation.

boom!

Ram shot towards the far corner, oh no, I mean the far corner.

Barthes was completely helpless.

The football hit the side netting from the inside.

The scoreboard jumps again.

Six to four!

"Goal! Lahm's shot was beautiful! You can't believe it was a full-back's shot!"

"Ribery's passing was very clever!"

"But it must be said that Deng Kai, who delivered the through ball, was the most crucial player in this attack!"

"With that, Deng Kai's assists have reached three, completing a hat-trick of assists!"

"One game, three hat-tricks! Deng Kai completes a hat-trick of goals and assists!"

"This is the most exciting Manchester derby in thirty years! Bar none!"

Manchester City ended the suspense in the first minute of stoppage time.

Rumble!

Maine Road Stadium exploded instantly!

The fans have gone absolutely crazy!

Won!

They really won this time!

They actually beat the Premier League leaders!

It turns out Manchester City really can beat Manchester United!

It's not just them hyping themselves up!

it is true!

drop!

The referee blew his whistle to signal that the goal was valid and rushed toward Ronaldo.

Then they showed Ronaldo a red card.

Deng Kai stood up and extended his right hand.

After Ronaldo instinctively pulled Deng Kai up, he realized that it wasn't his teammate, but Deng Kai.

His eyes reddened.

Whether it was because of the loss or because it was Deng Kai who pulled him back, Ronaldo's feelings were very complicated.

Very aggrieved.

I also felt quite relieved.

At least... this time it was Kai who defeated him.

Deng Kai pulled Ronaldo over with his right hand and gave him a hug.

At that moment, the stadium fell silent.

Everyone was watching the two people embracing.

Deng Kai patted Ronaldo's vest: "You played very well, we almost let you win."

"You are a hero at Manchester United!"

Cristiano Ronaldo wrinkled his nose, forcibly suppressing his tears, and patted Deng Kai's vest: "Damn! I'll definitely beat you next time!"

Deng Kai nodded: "Yes, definitely next time."

The two people separated.

Cristiano Ronaldo turned away proudly.

Then the tears finally flowed down my face.

As he walked toward the players' tunnel, he glared and frowned, letting two lines of tears stream down his face.

It's not because we lost the game.

He was just thinking about the past.

When he lost a game or received a red card, Deng Kai was always the first person to rush over to comfort him.

It's the same this time.

That despicable bastard!

Did he think that by acting like this, he wouldn't be able to crush them the next time they faced off?

You wait!

A hat trick wasn't enough, next time I'll do a quadruple! A five-pointer all by myself!

I'll definitely kick you to the curb!

As tears welled up, Ronaldo had to lower his head to hide them.

But Deng Kai's head suddenly appeared upside down from the side.

Deng Kai leaned over and peeked up at his female classmate, who was sobbing on the table, before looking at Cristiano Ronaldo and saying cheekily, "You're really crying, aren't you?"

Cristiano Ronaldo's composure crumbled on the spot.

I burst out laughing.

Cristiano Ronaldo, both laughing and crying, turned and charged at Deng Kai, ready to deliver a flying kick.

But Deng Kai had anticipated this and dodged it.

The fans at the scene were amused by the scene.

Even Manchester United fans are speechless.

This dog is better than Deng Kai.

They're really good at creating entertaining content.

It made Cristiano Ronaldo, who is known for his cool demeanor, both cry and laugh.

It's worth noting that Manchester United fans rarely see either of these expressions on Ronaldo's face.

Ultimately, Deng Kai, who was caught up by Ronaldo, pushed Ronaldo off the pitch.

The referee then explained that he and Ronaldo were just joking around, and that Ronaldo's actions were not aggressive.

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