Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Valencia's starting lineup is as follows:

Angulo, Mista

Vicente, Albelda, Ruben Baraja, Alma

Carboni, Marchena, Ayala, Garrido

Canizares

Let's not even talk about Vicente, the rising Spanish star of the last two years, nicknamed "Benicapp Dagger"!

He will undoubtedly be included in the Spanish national team for this European Championship, and may even become the core of the attack.

The two defensive midfielders, Albelda and Baraja, are both renowned players; the former has a tough playing style, while the latter is an all-around player in both attack and defense.

Even if Fabregas is fortunate enough to make the Spanish national team, he will find it difficult to get playing time.

The reason is that the partnership between these two is too reliable. Even if Fabregas is capable of replacing either of them, he would definitely disrupt their chemistry.

Unless he is stronger than both of them.

But that's obviously impossible.

I won't even mention the right winger, Elma, whose nickname is "The Clown".

He is the second idol of Lionel Messi, a new player in Barcelona's first team.

His first idol was Deng Kai, who had once sponsored him.

Among the defenders, Marchena is extremely famous and is also a key player for the Spanish national team.

This team comprises almost half of the starting lineup for the Spanish national team.

Its gold content is so high that it's astonishing.

Keep in mind that this is Valencia, who have already lost most of their core players.

Back when players like Lopez, Mendieta, Gerrard, and Kily were still around, Valencia was even more dominant!

It must be said that, from this perspective, Valencia's ability to generate talent is truly remarkable.

This once-powerful team suffered a devastating defeat in the 2008 financial crisis and remained in decline for many years.

Manchester City's starting lineup for this match was somewhat unexpected.

Duncan, Adriano, Ribery

Fabregas

Essien, Yaya Touré

Chiellini, Thiago Silva, Kompany, Maicon

Cech

People didn't expect Deng Kai to play as a left winger again.

Although in the second half of the FA Cup final, Deng Kai showed everyone that he could be just as lethal as he could be as a winger.

But... he's a midfielder after all.

Like Fonte, he scored a game-winning goal as a center forward, but do you see anyone using him as a center forward?

The key point is that it's unnecessary.

Deng Kai doesn't need to leave the position he's good at.

In addition, can Fabregas shoulder the responsibility of being the core of the team's midfield and attack?

Could he perform as well as Deng Kai in Deng Kai's position?

It seems impossible no matter how you look at it.

Furthermore, many people expected that Ashley Young wouldn't be chosen as the left-back.

Benitez even had the coaching staff collect a lot of information about Sun Jihai.

Ashley Young on the left is a huge liability.

Although he is fast, his breakthroughs are not strong.

Crossing the ball is also not good.

His shooting was also inaccurate.

Their defense is still poor.

Picture what?

While Sun Jihai, a versatile player, is much slower, he is stronger in defense and more reliable in passing. Although he doesn't have many advantages, he has more than Ashley Young.

But who would have thought that Manchester City would field Chiellini!

Let the center-back play as a full-back.

That destroys two positions at the same time.

Chiellini has almost no characteristics suitable for a full-back position. If you had to find one, it would be... he is a left-footed player.

Huang Jianxiang: "Manchester City's strategy for this match is actually quite clear."

"They've obviously studied Valencia as well. Valencia's main attacking route is down the left flank, through Vicente."

"Manchester City therefore dropped Toure back to better help defend the right flank. On the other hand, it's also probably to prepare for an attacking battle with Valencia."

"The combination of Ribery and Maicon is very likely to be stronger than the combination of Vicente and Carboni."

"On Manchester City's left flank, Chiellini's defense is solid, and he's a good match for dealing with wingers like Aimar who don't have much speed."

"Deng Kai appears to be a left winger, but he'll probably drop back to left midfield to help the team organize and even defend. The job he'll be doing will be similar to what he used to do."

"Correspondingly, Fabregas won't be under as much pressure."

"Attack on the right, defend on the left, that's Maxi's answer to Benitez!"

It has to be said that Huang Jianxiang would be a better fit as Manchester City's head coach than Maxić.

Because he understood Guardiola's strategy.

Marksa knew nothing about it; he even boasted before the match that Deng Kai was the kind of player who got more excited in big games.

He will make Manchester City's left flank even more lethal than their right!

Soon, amidst the commentators' discussions, the match reached the ninth minute.

Valencia launched several probing attacks.

But it's pretty much the same as what Huang Jianxiang said.

Toure became a key factor in limiting Vicente.

He will likely mark Vicente one-on-one in this match.

The Benicarapus dagger was temporarily sheathed by the Toure brand scabbard.

Sure enough, Vicente lost possession under pressure from Toure.

Kompany made the first pass across the ball to Thiago Silva.

Thiago Silva passed the ball to Chiellini.

After receiving the ball, Chiellini saw that Elma wasn't rushing over, so he flicked the ball forward with his backhand, outmaneuvering Elma.

Alma was completely stunned.

You're a center-back, you idiot!

You actually dribbled the ball forward?

Even if you're currently playing as a left-back, do you really have the ability to drive forward?

After a chase, Alma discovered that Chiellini really did have this ability!

His speed wasn't too slow; after all, this man who looked to be in his thirties was actually only twenty years old and still had some youthful energy.

His dribbling skills are also quite good, even commendable.

Chiellini smiled slightly.

More than just good dribbling skills.

I'm also a great passer, you know?

I'm terrified that there are no players with poor footwork skills in Blue Moon.

Fonte: ? ? ?

Fonte: So you're kicking me out of the monthly program?

boom!

Facing Albelda's cover, Chiellini chipped the ball to Duncan, who had dropped back to receive it.

Deng Kai stopped the ball with his right foot, then stepped forward with his left foot, making a gesture as if he was about to stop and pass the ball.

Valencia's right-back Garrido immediately focused and prepared to start.

However, the ball landed firmly on Deng Kai's instep, and Deng Kai did not follow up with a flick of the ball.

He pulled his left foot back, shifted his weight back, and seemed poised to dribble laterally behind Garrido towards the center.

After all, Deng Kai is a midfielder.

I like to play football in the center of the field.

boom!

Deng Kai pushed off with his right foot.

The left foot, which hadn't fully retracted, suddenly moved forward again.

After landing on the left foot, the thigh exerts force to immediately accelerate.

Deng Kai's right foot left the ground, and at the same time he flicked the ball to the right front.

With a single foot lift, he completed both the ball-handling and running movements.

This is... a flash of lightning!

Although the appearance of the "Zong Yi Shan" move is no longer visible, its core is still the same move that steals steps.

The previous feints and feints were intended to disrupt Garrido's balance.

The ball slipped between Garrido's legs and rolled diagonally toward Valencia's penalty area.
