Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

They achieved this through a lot of positioning, complex interlacing runs, and so on.

This is why excellent players like Villa, Fabregas, and David Silva all showed obvious signs of maladjustment and even made mistakes after arriving at Manchester City.

They need some more time.

But it certainly won't be for one season.

Because Manchester City's system is already established, it's much faster for others to integrate.

Last season, we started from scratch and had to grind for at least a season before we achieved some success.

Seventy-first minute.

Baggio and Lahm combined on the wing, and Lahm created a corner kick for the opponent.

Deng Kai took the corner kick.

Portsmouth's player won the aerial duel, heading the ball out of the penalty area.

But the next moment, Essien the Buffalo unleashed a powerful long-range shot that sent the ball flying back.

The football grazed Ribery's face and nestled into the top corner of the opponent's goal.

Ribery was terrified.

Grass!

I almost got headshot by my teammate!

But instead of scolding Essien, he rushed over to celebrate with him.

In the world of football, scoring a goal is not a crime!

"Oh! It's 3-0!"

"Essien, Essien unleashes a long-range shot!"

"Don't let Essien's status as a key member of Manchester City's defense fool you; his long-range shooting is actually quite good. In fact, everyone on the Manchester City team has at least a decent long-range shot!"

"Some people said I was overhyping Manchester City, that their attack wasn't that powerful at all. What do you think now?"

"If Manchester City scores, it can't be just one goal, especially with Duncan on the pitch."

"Nobody knows Manchester City and Duncan better than me! Manchester City are going to win this game! Don't forget, this is Manchester City's home ground, this is Maine Road... this is Intihad Stadium!"

Manchester City, having extended their lead, clearly relaxed.

Guardiola began to bring on substitutes.

Maxa: ? ? ?

Villa replaced Baggio as his replacement.

Fabregas replaced Toure.

Thiago Silva replaced Desailly.

This time, Fabregas performed much better than he did in the Community Shield.

The pressure from Portsmouth is on a completely different level than the pressure from Manchester United.

Eighty-second minute.

Fabregas played a through ball, linking up with Villa, who is also from Spain.

Unfortunately, David Villa's low shot was blocked by the opposing defender's body.

Portsmouth escaped unscathed.

Eighty-fifth minute.

Essien intercepted the ball in the backfield and passed it to Duncan.

Without even looking up, Deng Kai delivered a super-fast pass and shot, sending the ball into the opponent's half.

Adriano and Duncan's pass and shot started almost simultaneously, and he charged towards the ball's landing point like a tank.

The opposing center-back quickly engaged in physical confrontation with Adriano.

Under intense pressure, Adriano successfully controlled the ball, then pushed his opponent aside with one hand and accelerated to catch up with the ball.

boom!

He unleashed a powerful shot while on the move.

Adriano went all out.

Swish!

The football stirred up white waves.

After a brief silence, the scene erupted in a deafening roar.

"Goal! Four to zero! Adriano is on fire today!"

"A hat-trick! This is Adriano's first and only hat-trick in official matches throughout his professional career!"

"Congratulations Adriano! He seems to have finally found his scoring touch!"

"In this match alone, I definitely saw Ronaldo's shadow in him!"

After scoring, Adriano celebrated excitedly.

He knew what people had thought of him before.

This hat trick was crucial for him.

His persistence finally paid off.

In the 92nd minute, the match was about to end.

After receiving a pass from Maicon, Fabregas intended to turn and break through to show off his skills.

Unexpectedly, the opponent poked the ball away from his feet and made a tackle in the attacking third.

The opposing team launched a two-on-one attack just outside Manchester City's penalty area and ultimately scored.

Cech waved his hand angrily.

Grass!

His bonus for shutting out the game!

The match ended with a score of 4-1.

Adriano, who scored three goals, was named the best player of the match.

After the match, Adriano, beaming with pride, told the media, "Yes, I know this is incredible for some people."

"But over the past year, the Celtics have told me countless times that I have the talent to score goals and the talent to become a superstar center."

"I think it's time for me to become that kind of player."

"Thank you to everyone who has supported me, especially Coach Kai and Coach Maxa who have always given me opportunities!"

Fonte nodded repeatedly from the side.

Ade has widened his path, hasn't he?

As long as you're willing to work hard with the Celtics, what awards or honors can't you get?

Cristiano Ronaldo has become Manchester United's star player by simply lying down!

Cristiano Ronaldo: ? ? ?

When asked by the media, Deng Kai generously stated, "We have to admit that in recent years, the world's best striker is Ronaldo."

"Of course, I've also worked with a Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo, who I think is one of the best strikers ever."

"And now, I've met another Ronaldo, Adriano, who is being called the next Ronaldo."

"I think he has already entered the ranks of the best strikers."

"He will prove himself this season!"

……

Deng Kai returns, providing two assists to lead Manchester City to a resounding victory!

"Deng Kai's New Ronaldo – Adriano!"

Maxi: Manchester City is on the right track, and we will stick to the core strategy centered around Duncan!

New signings underperform while veterans shine; how should Manchester City address this disconnect?

According to Dongqiudi: "Manchester City's new signings have been in place for less than a month, and their current performance is already very good. In fact, based on Fabregas and Villa's football intelligence, it's only a matter of time before they integrate into the team."

"We predict that smaller teams will find it difficult to challenge Manchester City; perhaps the Premier League giants are their real rivals."

Sky Sports: "Adriano has scored three goals in two rounds, tying with Henry for the top spot in the Premier League scoring charts!"

BBC: "Some media outlets are being overly optimistic about Manchester City! City's style of play is complex, making it difficult for ordinary players to integrate!"

There are differing opinions regarding the integration of new players.

People are willing to acknowledge that Manchester City's tactics are superior, or rather, more sophisticated.

After all, it's Maxi.

The more complex the tactics, the harder it is for players to integrate.

Generally speaking, there are two types of subpar players.

One type is those whose physical attributes, such as physique, speed, and defensive intensity, are not suitable for them.

Another reason is that they cannot adapt tactically.

For example, Belon is more like the first type.

Manchester City's new signing is generally considered to be the second type.

But unexpectedly, Manchester City's new signing brought a pleasant surprise in the third round of the Premier League.

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