Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Thiago Silva has frequently switched between defensive midfield and center-back this season, and he has developed the ability to play both positions. In this match, he will have to play both roles simultaneously.

Therefore, Manchester City's style of play has not actually changed.

It's the same old thing in a new bottle.

But for teams that don't allow wingers and defenders to frequently push forward to assist in attacks, this is a huge change.

……

With the sound of a whistle, the match officially began.

Both sets of fans began cheering.

But soon, one side's throat was choked.

The second minute.

Ljungberg challenges Grosso on the wing.

He made full use of his agility to get past the massive Grosso and then delivered a brilliant pass.

Henry made a run forward near the penalty area.

Hierro and Thiago Silva double-teamed Henry.

However, the core of the King of Highbury had been established, and he managed to withstand the impact of the two center-backs while moving, thus maintaining possession of the ball.

Then, facing the onrushing Lehmann, Henry dribbled past him and poked the ball into the empty net.

Thiago Silva's subsequent sliding tackle failed to reach the ball.

One to zero!

Arsenal took the lead over Manchester City in just two minutes.

"Goal! Well done!"

"Henry! This is Henry!"

"Henry's knee slide celebration was absolutely awesome!"

"This is Manchester United's only real rival: Arsenal! Not Manchester City!"

"Deng Kai made so many boastful statements before the match, but now he's suffering a backlash from the increased attention he received!"

True strength or weakness is not determined by your subjective will.

After Wenger celebrated with a fist pump, he put his hands in his pockets and looked at Maksa. Maksa was expressionless; it was unclear whether he was confident or using indifference to mask his panic!

The commentator seems to have misunderstood this.

Maksa's indifference was genuine indifference.

The outcome of the competition had never been relevant to him.

The only connection might be that Deng Kai will be unhappy if the team loses, so Maxa will have to find a way to create more work for him.

I heard ice cream is really popular lately, why don't I learn how to make it?

Of course, it can't be BMW ice cream; the flavor is too strong.

"This is the FA Cup!"

"The FA Cup will always belong to Arsenal!"

"We, Arsenal, are invincible!"

Arsenal fans shouted their thoughts all over the place.

The rich guys next to Mansour were a little embarrassed at this point.

After all, they are now considered part of Manchester City's team.

But Manchester City doesn't seem to be doing so well either.

"Mansour, it seems your Kai isn't reliable." A prince who knew a little about football but didn't get along with Mansour said, "In recent years, those who claim to be the best midfielders have often ended up in bad situations."

"Mendieta, Belon... they're all counterfeit."

"This position is very easy to fake. Actually, if you think about it, how could someone be comparable to Ronaldo at the age of eighteen?"

Mansour remained silent.

Even the most awesome person has to deal with some annoying idiots in life.

"Ronaldo made a name for himself at the World Cup when he was only seventeen," Mansour said. "And unlike those flops you've mentioned, Kai's stats are solid."

"He's not just the best midfielder in Europe because of his on-field performance. Statistics, team leadership, charisma, commercial value, potential... even if someone offered Ronaldo in exchange for him, I wouldn't agree."

The other party chuckled.

Mansour was really not awake.

This one person of Chinese descent, and he wants to trade him for Ronaldo?

I want to eat fart!

boom!

A loud bang suddenly came from the field.

Just now, Manchester City kicked off from midfield.

Arsenal pressed their advantage relentlessly, launching a high-pressing attack.

Manchester City passed the ball five times in a row before finally running out of options.

Grosso ultimately used his body to hold off Ljungberg, and then passed Duncan a dangerous, high-flying ball.

Facing Vieira's challenge from behind, Deng Kai seemed to have anticipated Vieira's move, making a feint by bending over, but he didn't actually touch the ball.

Instead, he then turned around.

The football and Deng Kai simultaneously bypassed Vieira from different directions.

Vieira was momentarily stunned, unsure of who to deal with.

By the time Vieira reacted and chased after him, Deng Kai had already caught up with the ball again and completed a... shot!

"That's... a long-range lob!"

"Deng Kai suddenly kicked! I even thought it was a way to get out of a tight spot!"

"Deng Kai hasn't even crossed the center circle before he takes a shot... This is bad! Seaman is positioned too far forward!"

"Sean is running towards the goal, remember?"

"It's too late!"

"Seaman jumped, but he didn't touch the ball!"

"The soccer ball bounced off the ground and into the net! Goal!"

"Goal! Deng Kai! Deng Kai scored a superb lob shot!"

"Even Heaven, if it had feelings, would grow old; and if it met He-Man, it would give him a kick!"

"England goalkeeper Seaman's biggest problem is his butterfingers; his long-range shot save percentage isn't top-tier!"

"And lob shot... is also a type of long-range shot."

Rumble!

A tremor was felt at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

The wealthy Middle Eastern men looked as if they had seen a ghost as they stared at the whiskey swirling in the glass.

Mansour raised his glass to everyone: "Based on my experiences this past year, I must admit that I have become less rational."

"Because I actually believe that no one in world football is more reliable than Kay!"

"This toast is to Deng Kai!"

Many wealthy men raised their glasses: "To Deng Kai!"

One to one!

Manchester City caught up after trailing for only two minutes.

They really want this FA Cup.

In the ninth minute, the false midfield of Deng Kai, Toure, and Thiago Silva was indeed at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and ability, allowing Vieira to complete a high-quality long-range shot.

Fortunately, Hierro played very tough today and blocked the shot with his body.

Henry received the ball on the left side of the penalty area, turned and dribbled laterally, looking for an opportunity to shoot into the far corner.

boom!

Lehman made an incredible save, practically flicking the ball out of bounds with his fingers.

In theory, this was a goal that should have gone in.

This infuriated Wenger.

In the thirteenth minute, Van Bronckhorst, a stranger in a strange land, did not disappoint Wang Wei's sentiment of writing a poem for him, and delivered a cutback pass after reaching the byline.

Pires then arrived quickly and curled a shot into the far corner.

Two to one!

Arsenal have scored another goal.

"Oh! Pires has found space. Manchester City's defense still has problems."

"Maicon isn't really a right-back; his position today was that of a right winger."

"Thiago Silva's activity area is concentrated in the central defensive midfield position. Manchester City has a defensive gap in the right midfield position, and they need to find a way to fill it."

Manchester City is also aware of this problem.

Touré and Duncan usually cover this area, but there are some handover issues when they take over from Thiago Silva.

This is sore.

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