Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Ground Football: Cristiano Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him. Chapter 679 of the main text: Manchester City's only winter transfer window reinforcement, he was already out of luck. Chelsea's money shook the entire Premier League.

In order to maintain their competitiveness, many teams have made signings.

Tottenham Hotspur signed England's rising star striker Jermaine Defoe from West Ham United for €12 million.

The entire Premier League spent a total of £91.6 million in this unremarkable winter transfer window, making it the world's biggest spender in the winter transfer window!

Second in Serie A, with only £18.7 million.

£7.3 million for the Bundesliga.

£9.3 million for La Liga.

Nine million pounds in Ligue 1.

All of them combined are less than half of the Premier League.

However, not all clubs in the Premier League are "heroes".

There's one team that's incredibly stingy!

It's one thing to not sell Cech, but after all, your other goalkeepers don't seem to be that great either.

They're either too young or too incompetent.

Neuer: I'm young.

Cavaliero: I'm twenty-two and a half, which is still considered young.

But you, the Premier League half-season champions, didn't make any signings in the winter transfer window. Isn't that a bit too much?

Sky Sports used this as a starting point to criticize Manchester City's inaction: "All of the Premier League's top four, except for Manchester City, have made big-money signings!"

"Manchester City's attitude has sealed their fate for a disastrous second half of the season!"

"They don't show enough respect to their other competitors!"

In response, Deng Kai wrote on Dongqiudi: "I remember at the beginning of the season, everyone was criticizing Chelsea's spending as a desecration of football!"

"Everyone thinks Chelsea's expensive signings are dirty."

"Why are you asking Manchester City to join them so quickly?"

"Or have you been defeated by money-driven football so quickly?"

It's going to be a massacre, isn't it!

Furthermore, Deng Kai corrected the media: "In fact, we did make signings during the winter transfer window. Your neglect of our signing activities makes me very dissatisfied!"

"Similarly, your actions have also caused significant psychological harm to the players we've signed!"

"Therefore, I want to solemnly announce here that Manchester City has brought in a very outstanding player this winter transfer window!"

The media was completely bewildered.

This……

Has Manchester City made any signings?

Is it because we're not well-informed?

After much racking of brains and searching, a small Southampton media outlet tentatively posted: "Perhaps we've found the player Manchester City is looking to sign?"

Their newspaper published a picture of a child.

Calling him a child is inaccurate; he already has a youthful air about him.

She looks at least thirteen or fourteen years old?

"Gareth Frank Bell! An outstanding student at a satellite college in Southampton, thirteen years old this year."

Soon someone told them the child's name.

This kid is considered a minor celebrity among local youth training players.

He has quite a bit of talent.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he will join Southampton's youth academy.

But now, something unexpected has happened!

The terrifying blue moon is becoming a phenomenon.

Since the start of this season, they have begun to win over a new generation of young football fans in England.

Subsequently, it was reported that Gareth Bale's uncle, Christopher Parker, had recently joined Manchester City's youth academy as an assistant coach.

In short, they believe this is largely related to Bale joining Manchester City's youth academy.

Parker later gave an interview.

He was also a professional player, a striker, who retired in 2001.

He previously played for Premier League teams such as Cardiff and Fulham.

However, he doesn't have a strong presence in the team. Some encyclopedias say he is Cardiff's top scorer, but in fact, his goal tally ranks outside the top 100 in Cardiff's history.

He didn't play for Cardiff or Fulham for very long.

Later in his career, he mainly played for teams in Wales.

That's why he cherishes the job opportunities offered by Manchester City so much.

After all, Manchester City is currently the most dominant team in the Premier League.

This work experience is quite impressive.

Parker: "Bale is an excellent player, he's incredibly fast, much faster than I was at his age. I don't think he'll be slower than some of the best full-backs in the Premier League right now, like Ashley Cole or Wu Xudong!"

"I believe he has the potential to be a Premier League starting full-back! He's worth Manchester City's investment!"

But Pike was quickly proven wrong.

The one who slapped him in the face was none other than Deng Kai.

Deng Kai: "I heard some people think Bale will become a Premier League starting-caliber full-back... Seriously, don't be ridiculous... Bale will become a historically great full-back, okay!"

"And it's not just about being a full-back; Manchester City has a complete plan for Bale's development. We're arranging for him to learn more techniques, and once he's reached the top level as a full-back, we'll help him transition into a winger."

"We believe he can also leave a significant mark on the history of wingers!"

"He's one of the few players who can reach historic levels in both positions! He's demonstrated such physical attributes!"

Deng Kai's comments about Bell have sparked people's curiosity.

But after learning about Bell's speed, many people think it's actually quite possible.

Because Bell is really fast.

However, it is said that Bell was initially reluctant to leave his familiar environment and go to Manchester.

My dear reader, there's more to this chapter! Please click the next page to continue reading—even more exciting content awaits!

He only agreed to transfer to Manchester City after meeting with Deng Kai.

People are speculating about what conditions Deng Kai offered Bell.

Sky Sports criticized Manchester City's actions, saying, "Manchester City must have given Bale empty promises like a promotion to the first team in three years."

"I'm going to tell Bell that you've been tricked!"

"While Manchester City is certainly a team willing to give young players opportunities, they absolutely cannot guarantee what you'll look like three years from now!"

"Three years from now, you might not get a contract from Manchester City and will be abandoned by them!"

"Son, Southampton is a better place for you! It's not too late to go back!"

You know what, Sky Sports is really good at guessing things.

They were completely wrong!

In a video released by Manchester City, Bale addressed these questions directly: "At first, I really didn't want to leave, but Duncan actually came in person."

"You know what? He's the Ballon d'Or winner! He's my idol! I've liked him since he was with Sporting Lisbon! All the kids at my school love him and Cristiano Ronaldo!"

"We all vowed to become players like Duncan and Ronaldo!"

"But what touched me most was the promise Deng Kai made to me!"

"He promised to tutor me!"

"My God! High school courses are absolutely the worst thing ever! I just can't handle them, but Keith... yes, I'm not a Manchester City first-team player yet, but allow me to call him that."

"Captain Celtics is too strong! He can solve all the problems! All of them! Do you know how terrifying that is?"

Seeing Bale's exaggerated expression, the Manchester City players who were having lunch together all looked at Duncan.

Font asked doubtfully, "Really? You'll tutor him?"

Deng Kai nodded: "Pretty much. Functions, geometry, world geography—they're all quite simple things. But when I mentioned these, he still hesitated. Until I set the next condition."

Everyone focused their attention and calmed down.

What conditions could truly lure a gifted young man into walking into a trap?

Deng Kai smiled slightly: "I said I can play golf!"

"He was already done for; he wouldn't go to anything but Manchester City!"

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