Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

The Spanish King's Cup is played in Zaragoza.

They miraculously defeated Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final, pulling off an upset!

The La Liga Golden Boot winner this season is Ronaldo of Real Madrid. He had relatively few injuries this season and scored 24 goals.

The La Liga assist title was shared by Zidane and Beckham, both from Real Madrid, with twelve assists each.

This also shows that Real Madrid's problem is not their attack.

It's about defense.

The root of the problem lies in the fact that after they brought in Beckham, they failed to retain Makelele.

This led to Makelele's transfer to Chelsea.

At the beginning of the season, Deng Kai commented that the transfer was incredibly foolish, and that Real Madrid had made a huge mistake.

The Merengue players were not very happy at the time, believing that Duncan was wary of Real Madrid.

After all, although Deng Kai had defeated Zidane's early Galácticos in the Champions League final.

But he must be afraid that Real Madrid will become stronger and more invincible.

Real Madrid fans are now somewhat speechless.

Deng Kai was right about everything.

Real Madrid sold one of the players they should never have sold.

They achieved great commercial success.

They also suffered their biggest defeat in competition in recent years!

All of the aforementioned leagues have had a very exciting season.

But without exception, they are all far inferior to the Premier League.

From the clubs' perspective, this season's Premier League has seen the most exciting title race in its history.

Even powerhouses like Manchester United and wealthy Chelsea could only watch from the sidelines, having lost any chance of winning the title early on.

The two undefeated teams battled fiercely all the way to the final round before a winner was decided.

Moreover, the result was determined by goal difference.

Unbeaten Arsenal!

Unbeaten Manchester City!

The Premier League has sent shivers down the spines of the entire European continent.

But these are just two teams after all.

Arsenal has always been a powerhouse.

So the only surprise or shock for everyone was Manchester City.

It should be alright.

but……

In terms of star players, the Premier League is also experiencing a surge.

This is the main reason why European football is trembling.

Former Premier League Golden Boot winner Hasselbaink has been relegated to the bench at Chelsea this season.

Even so, he still managed to score thirteen goals and provide five assists.

Pires, the left winger of the undefeated Gunners, put up peak statistics in his career with 14 goals and 9 assists, ranking high in both goals and assists.

Manchester United's winter signing, right winger Saha, has 15 goals and 6 assists.

The data looks pretty good.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of these goals came from his previous team.

He hasn't found his form at Manchester United.

This is also a secondary reason why Manchester United have fallen behind this season.

The main reason, of course, is that... Arsenal and Manchester City are just too abnormal.

Manchester City right winger Franck Ribéry has shone brightly this season, with an incredible 15 goals and 15 assists, making him one of the strongest attacking wingers in the Premier League!

He instantly became a top star!

Liverpool's golden boy, Owen, has scored 16 goals and provided 4 assists this season, which are good individual statistics, but he has failed to join his former teammate Robbie Fowler in dominating the field and leading the team to further success.

Because Fowler is injured again.

His fragile constitution only improved when he was at Manchester City.

Moreover, it was Manchester City, who made extensive rotations last season.

If it were this season, Robbie Fowler would probably be out for the rest of the season as soon as the winter transfer window closed!

The fourth-ranked Premier League top scorer is Manchester United's star striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.

He scored twenty goals and provided two assists.

His goal-scoring momentum slowed down significantly in the second half of the season because Ronaldo moved back to the center forward position from the right winger, taking away Van Nistelrooy's unlimited shooting rights.

Fanny was furious about this.

But no way.

Ferguson clearly prefers Ronaldo.

And the third-ranked Premier League top scorer is none other than Cristiano Ronaldo!

He scored 21 goals and provided 12 assists.

He transformed from a fast shooter into a core-level shooter who excels in passing, shooting, and dribbling.

He is becoming Manchester United's super core in the attacking third!

In fact, after Saha's performance faltered, Ferguson considered moving Ronaldo back to the right winger position.

But Ronaldo absolutely refused.

He just stayed in the striker position and wouldn't leave.

Despite racking up impressive assists in the first half of the season, scoring goals was genuinely difficult for him.

Looking at Deng Kai's stats every now and then, how could Ronaldo possibly sit still?

Fortunately, Ferguson did not force Ronaldo in the end and went back to training Saha.

The second-highest scorer in the Premier League is veteran Alan Shearer!

Thirty-four-year-old Alan Shearer has scored twenty-two goals and provided four assists in the fiercely competitive Premier League.

He's in no way inferior to Van Nistelrooy.

Of course, considering resource constraints, he can't really compare to Van Nistelrooy.

But there was nothing they could do; Alan Shearer had unlimited firing rights!

Basically, in the current stage of the Premier League, Van Nistelrooy, Ribery, Pires, and Giggs are considered top-tier stars.

Both their statistics and on-field performance are excellent.

In terms of statistics and performance, Cristiano Ronaldo is a level above them!

but……

You have to admit that even someone as strong as Cristiano Ronaldo is still inferior to three other players in terms of performance this season.

These three players are Duncan, Henry, and Adriano, who jointly won the Premier League Golden Boot with thirty goals each!

Adriano has scored 30 goals and provided 7 assists this season, marking a personal career highlight!

His stats are 0.2 levels better than Cristiano Ronaldo's!

Henry has scored 30 goals and provided 10 assists this season, carrying Arsenal in their battle against Manchester City. His core role is far superior to that of attacker Adriano.

If you convert it, he's about half a level better than Cristiano Ronaldo!

Cristiano Ronaldo: Aren't you comparing yourself to Adriano? How come you're comparing me now? So I've become your comparison unit, huh?

If Arsenal can beat Manchester City to become the Premier League champions, Henry will absolutely be a legend!

absolute!

but……

There are no "what ifs" in this world.

Even better than an unbeaten season in the Premier League... is an unbeaten season!

Deng Kai scored 30 points and 20 assists, achieving a career-high 30+20 performance once again.

Although it's a 30+20 performance with the best cost-effectiveness, it's still a significant decline compared to his 34 goals and 25 assists last season.

However, considering the pressure and environment Manchester City faces this season, this data is actually more valuable!

If Adriano is 0.2 times better than Ronaldo.

Henry is 0.5 times better than Ronaldo.

Deng Kai is now about "one-tenth" better than Ronaldo this season!

In short, Douluo!

Therefore, Duncan, Henry, and Adriano will also share the European Golden Shoe award this season!

If Jardel's two Golden Boots, one Silver Boot, and one Bronze Boot in five years are considered a desecration of the prestige of the "European Golden Boot," then this is a misrepresentation.

Deng Kai's consecutive wins of the European Golden Shoe for two years have dramatically increased the prestige of the award!

Especially considering the three Golden Boot winners this season, they will definitely become a diamond in the history of the European Golden Boot!
