Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Ribery dribbled past Phil and then passed the ball across to Maicon, who had made a run into the box.

Maicon took a long-range shot, which went just over the crossbar.

The fans saw that Maicon's shot missed.

But professional players saw that Maicon's shot was of very high quality.

Fourteenth minute.

Ribery continued to dart across the right flank.

Phil Neville had absolutely no way to deal with him.

Keane could only go over and double-team Ribery.

Ribery immediately called back to find Deng Kai.

Keane turned back and pounced on Deng Kai.

boom!

Deng Kai made a through pass without stopping the ball.

Adriano suddenly surged forward from the center, making a run into the penalty area and receiving the ball, creating a one-on-one opportunity.

Adriano flicked his left foot, pulling the angle to the right.

Howard strikes!

boom!

Adriano makes a right-footed cross.

The melancholic prince Baggio arrived on horseback and slotted the ball into the empty net.

drop!

The referee blows the whistle.

Adriano and Baggio looked toward the linesman.

The linesman indicated that Adriano was offside when he received the ball.

The goal is disallowed.

Upon review, it was discovered that Adriano's offside was by a hair's breadth.

It can only be said that he lacked a bit of luck.

Otherwise, with three goals in fourteen minutes, Manchester United would truly be in trouble.

Deng Kai, on the other hand, had a clearer understanding of Adriano's current abilities.

Adriano's shooting skills are superb, but his acceleration is still not as good as that of top strikers.

That kick just now, let alone a top striker, even a first-rate striker with excellent positioning could have avoided being offside.

The essence of breaking the offside trap lies in the forward crossover, the foot stepping back, and the shoulder retraction.

Ade still needs to learn more.

Fifteenth minute.

Manchester City retained possession of the ball.

Deng Kai routinely passes the ball to Toure.

Touré would usually give the money directly to Ribery, acting as a middleman who didn't take a cut.

But this time, Keane, who was defending Toure, made an empirical error.

Toure delivered a powerful cross-court pass, directly beating Keane and dribbling forward from the right flank, posing a significant threat.

Manchester United players quickly moved toward Toure.

Toure made a diagonal pass.

The ball was passed from the right to the left through the vacuum created by Keane's poor positioning.

Baggio receives the ball.

boom!

Baggio, without stopping the ball, flicked it into the penalty area with the outside of his foot.

This pass was reminiscent of Deng Kai's style.

Baggio: ? ? ?

Adriano broke into the penalty area and engaged in a fierce battle for position with Ferdinand.

Adriano had the upper hand.

Pfft!

In the fierce struggle, Adriano fell to the ground.

The referee blew his whistle and pointed firmly to the penalty spot.

At the same time, Ferdinand was shown a yellow card.

"Oh no! Penalty! Oh no!"

"This is absolutely the most troublesome thing for Manchester United!"

"Fifteen minutes later, Manchester United, trailing by two goals, are about to face another penalty!"

"Adriano has done a great job! So far, his performance has been outstanding!"

"Apart from scoring goals, his abilities in every aspect are among the best in the Premier League!"

"Manchester City could potentially break even on the Adriano deal. But of course, it's definitely not a great deal unless Adriano's value exceeds 40 million euros!"

Under the expectant gaze of the fans, Deng Kai slowly walked towards the penalty spot.

His gaze met Ronaldo's for a fleeting moment.

He saw limitations in Ronaldo's eyes.

Cristiano Ronaldo's performance in this match has been mediocre so far.

But this is largely due to the fact that he has always "lived" inside the restricted area.

Squandering the team's resources is the center's privilege and a reflection of his tactical role.

Cristiano Ronaldo has it.

But what is best is not necessarily what is most suitable for him.

Cristiano Ronaldo's impact is greatly reduced when he can no longer drop back to support the team or even frequently appears on the left and right flanks.

In terms of shooting skills alone, he's not much different from Diego Forlán on the bench.

Fran: Does that mean I'm terrible? ???

boom!

Deng Kai unleashed a powerful shot.

The football went into the net decisively.

Howard guessed the right direction, but Duncan's penalty kick was decisive and extremely fast.

"Goal! Three to zero!"

"Fifteen minutes! I think we witnessed a miracle!"

"Manchester United have never suffered such a crushing defeat! Never!"

"Manchester City seem to have been reborn! Now let's recall Duncan's challenge to Manchester United at the end of last season, and he actually delivered!"

"He wants to upset both Manchester United and Arsenal just like Manchester United upset Liverpool!"

"In contrast, Manchester United seemed unprepared to be challenged; they looked like they couldn't play football without Beckham!"

"Berion clearly cannot replace Beckham, at least based on this game."

"Moreover, Berline's passing is far inferior to Beckham's; he's more like an impactful winger, but Manchester United needs a top-class passer."

"Without Beckham, Ronaldo and Van Nistelrooy wouldn't be able to score!"

"Especially Cristiano Ronaldo! Since his debut, he's played alongside top midfielders like Duncan, Beckham, and Scholes!"

"In fact, his goal-scoring ability may be overestimated!"

"His performance today was still a Henry away from being the real Ronaldo!"

The commentary was very critical.

They noticed Ronaldo's "unpredictable" performance today.

Sky Sports presenters even said, "Two players have been very commercially active this summer."

"One is Deng Kai."

"He and Mansour attended several business events related to Manchester City, securing a world-class youth academy for the club once completed."

"The other one is Cristiano Ronaldo."

"He inherited all of Manchester United's commercial resources related to Beckham! He helped Manchester United rake in huge sums of money this summer, but so far we haven't seen Manchester United use that money for reinforcements or youth development programs."

"People have always said that Ferguson favored Ronaldo over Van Nistelrooy, and I agree with that. Because Ronaldo could become the next Beckham commercially, but Van Nistelrooy couldn't."

"But Ferguson failed to see that Ronaldo is unlikely to become the next Beckham on a sporting level. He can't bring victories to Manchester United!"

The camera focused on the Manchester United fans' stands.

Many Manchester United fans are leaving the stadium.

Fifteen minutes into the game!

There are 75 minutes left in the game!

Manchester United fans couldn't sit still.

This is a concrete manifestation of their disappointment with this match.

One of the fans, wearing a Beckham jersey, gave the middle finger to the camera after seeing his image on the big screen.

And he made a 7 gesture.

He shouted, "Manchester United only has one number seven! And that number seven is Beckham!"

Because after Beckham left the team, it was Cristiano Ronaldo who took over his number seven jersey!

Most people probably think that the number nine jersey is the proper center.

But for Cristiano Ronaldo, he has been wearing number seven since his youth training days.

When I used to play football with Deng Kai, Deng Kai would occasionally call him CR7!

And Cristiano Ronaldo would call Deng Kai dk10!

Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo prefers the number 7.

Ferguson wanted Ronaldo to take the number seven jersey because he wanted Ronaldo to receive resources from Beckham.

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