Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Chapter 691 Fires at Deng Kai

Abramovich's joke put immense pressure on Manchester City.

When Barcelona arrived in Manchester, many Barcelona fans displayed a banner that read "The Law of Winning and Losing".

Manchester City have not lost a single game this season!

Not a single one!

Outrageous!

The world of football cannot tolerate such an overbearing team.

Therefore, Manchester City is destined to lose this match!

Marca: "It has become clear that the Premier League battle between Manchester City and Arsenal has been a lose-lose situation. They failed to make any changes in the standings, but they are now likely to fall behind in European competitions."

According to AS: "Perhaps the only good news for Manchester City is that Chiellini and Thiago Silva, who were previously injured, have returned to the team."

Diario Sport: "With the formidable wing duo of Ronaldinho and Quaresma, it doesn't matter who Manchester City's defenders are!"

Mundo Deportivo: "Players returning from injury rarely perform well, and Manchester City may not start Chiellini."

Kicker: "Ronaldinho is confident of helping his team win at the Etihad Stadium!"

Bild: "Quaresma is looking forward to facing Duncan, he's ready!"

On April 8, the first leg of the UEFA Cup quarter-finals kicked off.

For Manchester City, Kompany and Chiellini formed the starting center-back pairing.

Desailly and Thiago Silva were on the bench.

The 30th minute of the first half.

Toure scored with a powerful shot, giving Manchester City the lead.

But soon, Quaresma received a pass from Ronaldinho, cut inside past Lahm, and fired a shot into the net from outside the penalty area.

One to one.

In the second half, Ronaldinho scored directly from a free kick, giving Barcelona the lead.

Eighty-fifth minute.

Deng Kai took a corner kick, and Kompany headed the ball into the net, leveling the score.

But the Barcelona players left with smiles on their faces.

Because they scored two away goals.

Back at Camp Nou, all they need to do is defend tightly and keep the score level to advance.

They seized the initiative to enter the finals!

This is also the view held by various media outlets.

The result of this match confirmed everyone's previous predictions.

Manchester City and Arsenal... it's truly a lose-lose situation!

If only someone on their team were willing to step back in the league and offer up a substitute.

The side that backs down has a high probability of advancing further in European competitions.

Because whether it's Arsenal vs. Chelsea or Manchester City vs. Barcelona, the former should have the advantage.

The side that doesn't back down can also reap the rewards of the league.

One for each person, no one loses out.

Why do we always want to fight on two fronts?

It all comes down to greed!

……

On April 9th, a controversial scene unfolded.

Deng Kai posted a promotional message on his personal social media.

Because Hathaway's movie "Enchantress" was released today.

Based on past practices, Deng Kai would definitely attend the event with Hathaway to help his girlfriend gain exposure.

At the very least, you have to go to the movie theater and then show off your movie ticket.

But Manchester City's schedule this season is too tight.

Deng Kai only posted one update.

Unexpectedly, this post actually got me criticized.

"Is Deng Kai kidding me? With such a tight schedule, he actually has the time to promote Hathaway?"

"It's a bit tricky! So what exactly does Manchester City mean to Duncan?"

"It seems like Deng Kai doesn't really value Manchester City's matches. That makes sense, since football fans make up less than 40% of his social media followers?"

"Heh! You think you're the best in the world, so you're starting to think about dabbling in other things? You want to cross over into other fields? You want to act in movies?"

"No matter what, Deng Kai's attitude was far too unserious. He needs to give the rest of the team an explanation."

"Since their minds aren't on football, their performance is bound to suffer. It seems there's a reason for Manchester City's recent slump."

"Just watch, with Deng Kai's attitude, Manchester City isn't far from losing!"

???

This wave of public opinion made it seem as if Deng Kai had committed a terrible mistake.

April 10th, the 32nd round of the English Premier League.

Manchester City narrowly defeated Charlton 1-0.

After the match, reporters surrounded Deng Kai, asking him how he planned to explain the "Cinderella incident."

See? This has already become an event.

Fonte was the first to answer: "I don't know where those rumors started. But there's one thing I hope everyone can understand."

"As one of Manchester City's players, I can assure you that we have no complaints about Keita."

"He will always be the hardest working person on the field and in training."

"He knows better than anyone how his time should be allocated."

"I don't want anyone using the phrase 'Manchester City player' to attack Duncan. Because we wouldn't dare, oops... because we will always believe in and respect Duncan!"

Of course, some reporters were still unconvinced and continued to question Deng Kai, demanding an answer from him.

Annoyed by the commotion, Deng Kai nodded: "Alright, it seems everyone wants to hear what I have to say."

"First, I sent that message. But I regret that I couldn't go to the cinema to watch the movie right away."

"I hope that friends who see the movie will share their thoughts with me. My intuition tells me that this is an excellent film."

"Secondly, when people question the intense pace I and Manchester City have been putting on, has no one considered the real reason why Manchester City's schedule has been so packed this season?"

"It's not just Manchester City, Arsenal can't beat them either."

"Isn't Chelsea the same?"

"This is either a problem with the Premier League's schedule, or UEFA's schedule needs to be coordinated."

"The players and the clubs are all victims."

"And you're trying to make a victim bear all the responsibility."

"I can take responsibility, but I think fans should know the truth and think deeply about it. The future schedule should be made more reasonable."

"This way, perhaps when there are no matches, people can see the players in more places. By participating in activities with the players, you can truly understand what your favorite players are like outside of matches."

"I think this is important both from a footballing perspective and from a non-footballing perspective!"

"Finally, regarding this wave of discussion, my law firm has commissioned a professional agency to conduct an investigation, and I can now share some information with you."

"I will be filing a lawsuit against the commercial marketing and sporting departments of FC Barcelona."

"They have hired several media outlets, including Mundo Deportivo and Sport, to maliciously smear and defame me. I will fight for my reputation."

"At the same time, Manchester City will appeal to UEFA. The reason is that we believe Barcelona attempted to manipulate the result of the match through illegal means outside of the game."

sizzle!

The reporters were dumbfounded.

This……

So Barcelona is dissing Duncan?

Is Deng Kai really that tough?

Barcelona can't even say a word against him?

But most of those present were from the English media.

I feel very upset at the thought that I was being used by the Spanish media.

Moreover, it's good news for all the media outlets when Premier League teams win important honors.

Being near the water tower gives you an advantage.

They need to do more interviews with the water.

If the Spanish team wins the championship, the English media will only be able to reprint their news and generate revenue for them.
