Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"I'll just say a few words." The players were making their final preparations in the locker room, and Deng Kai stood at the door. "This European match is of exceptionally important significance to Manchester City."

"This is Manchester City's first European match in many years."

"This is also the first European match to be held at Intihad Stadium!"

"This is a new era!"

"I know there are various opinions about our roster this time."

"But I hope everyone understands one thing: you are here for no other reason than your excellence!"

"So I hope everyone can perform well in today's game."

"Two days after the second leg of this round of European competition, we will face Liverpool in the Premier League. We cannot afford to concede any points in the league."

"So I hope we can end this round of suspense early today."

"To allow more players to experience European competition in the second leg."

"Can you do it?"

can!

A deafening roar erupted from inside the locker room.

The players then entered the players' tunnel.

They entered the stadium.

Sky blue covered everything.

They felt as if they had arrived at the bay of Santorini, where they were greeted by a pale blue sky and light blue water!

The 85,000 Manchester City fans were in high spirits.

This is the day they've been waiting for for decades!

UEFA Cup!

Manchester City, here we come!

Seeing the fans cheering, commentator Huang Jianxiang exclaimed, "My God! This is insane! I think every Champions League final is no more than this."

He Wei, standing nearby, nodded: "Talking about the Champions League final is a bit far-fetched. Manchester City has never participated in the Champions League since its inception!"

"Is it that they don't like the Champions League? No, it's that they don't deserve it."

He Wei remains as undeniably ruthless as ever.

Zhan Jun smiled slightly: "Of course, we believe that under Deng Kai's leadership, Manchester City will lift the Champions League trophy sooner or later! Perhaps even multiple times!"

Zhan Jun also performed steadily, with big fans appearing as haters and big haters appearing as fans.

With the referee's whistle.

The match has officially begun.

From the moment the ball kicked off, Manchester City completely took control of the game.

Meanwhile, the Lokeren players were stunned by the roar of the Intihad Stadium fans.

The noise from the fans at the stadium definitely exceeded 120 decibels!

At this moment, Lockerner wasn't facing Manchester City; they were facing the St. Augustine Sea Monster! They were facing the terrifying Leviathan!

Third minute.

Deng Kai makes a standard pass to the wing.

Ribery, one of the top three dribblers in the Premier League, repeatedly broke through opponents on the right wing, proving unstoppable.

Maicon made an overlapping run down the wing, then easily made a header cross from Ribery's pass down the byline.

Manchester City striker Adriano rose into the air and unleashed a powerful header, unstoppable by anyone.

Swish!

The football goes into the net.

"Goal! One to zero!"

"Manchester City broke the deadlock in just three minutes!"

"Maicon assists Adriano to open the scoring for the team!"

"This is Manchester City! This is the King of Manchester!"

"The noise level in the stadium has reached 125 decibels! I think Lokeren will have a hard time leaving this stadium with dignity today."

"This isn't Intihad Stadium, this is Intihad hell!"

Huang Jianxiang provides passionate commentary.

The most fitting name for Manchester City's new stadium has been found – Hell's Stadium!

Ninth minute.

Just when Lokeren's players thought they had finally withstood Manchester City's second wave of attacks and that the two sides could enter a tug-of-war phase.

Manchester City, under the command of Duncan, pressed forward with their entire defense crossing the midfield line.

Deng Kai played a diagonal pass to the left flank.

Lahm moved with lightning speed, dribbling the ball down the wing.

Villa quickly slipped into the penalty area and then changed course to move forward.

boom!

Lahm crossed the ball.

Lockerner's players were all focused on defending against Adriano and the overlapping Duncan.

As a result, Villa, who was unmarked, headed the ball on at the near post and scored directly.

"Oh my god! Two to zero! David Villa, the 'Huluwa' from Spain, has also scored!"

"This is his third goal for Manchester City!"

"This pass comes from an assist from Lahm, who's been in red-hot form lately!"

"Manchester City's full-backs have stronger attacking attributes than many Premier League teams' wingers or even forwards!"

"Less than ten minutes into the game, the left and right full-backs each provided an assist."

Sixteenth minute.

After a one-two with Fabregas, Deng Kai played a through ball to Adriano, who unleashed a powerful shot under pressure from the opposing center-back, but it struck the post.

Lockren escaped unscathed.

Twenty-seventh minute.

Deng Kai dribbled the ball laterally, switched positions with Fabregas, and then passed the ball to Fabregas.

Little Fa initiated the front insertion.

Adriano retreated.

As the two players passed each other, Fabregas passed the ball to Adriano.

Adriano then turned and dribbled the ball two steps laterally before passing it to Ribery on the right wing.

Ribery was unmarked, dribbled inside, drew attention, and then passed the ball across the box.

Deng Kai, who had switched positions, made a run forward and unleashed a long-range shot from the right side of the arc.

The football stirred up white waves.

"Three to zero! So easy! So effortless!"

"Manchester City's star striker, Duncan Duncan, has scored! Duncan waves to the fans in the stands, and the stadium roars up three decibels!"

"This goal may seem easy, but the underlying issues it reveals are chilling upon closer examination."

"Manchester City's midfield and attack move too smoothly, like a sophisticated machine."

"The continuous tactical runs, combined with the individual strengths of each player, completely tore apart the opponent's defensive formation! Just now, not only Deng Kai, but at least three Manchester City players had more than eight shooting opportunities!"

"This is not a team in the same league at all."

"I think Manchester City has a very good chance of winning by a large margin today!"

"If that's really the case, then... that explains why they have so many new signings and young players on their bench."

A flash of inspiration struck Huang Jianxiang: in this way, everything would fall into place.

Manchester City has absolute confidence in the game.

Before the game, you could say they were arrogant.

But right now you can only say they're strong!

……

With Deng Kai's goal, Lockeren finally understood his fate in this match.

They gave up struggling and tried to defend.

"The game has entered a stalemate for the time being, with both sides trading blows for the past ten minutes or so!" He Wei summarized the performance of both sides over the past period.

Huang Jianxiang looked completely bewildered.

You control the ball with a rate of 81%, unleashing 12 shots and forcing the opponent to receive two yellow cards – this is called a stalemate.

He Wei: Well... at least the score is still tied.

Forty-second minute.

Deng Kai dribbled past his opponent with a fried dough ball and then delivered a through pass.

Fabregas, making a forward run, went down after contact with an opponent in the penalty area.

The referee blows the whistle.

Yellow dot meal!

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