Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"This is a great breakthrough for domestic football!"

"In recent years, under Deng Kai's call, the number of players playing abroad has surged, and their achievements overseas have become increasingly better."

"Sun Jihai has become another European-level star player in China, following in the footsteps of Wu Xudong!"

The second half.

In the 48th minute, Mista's shot was saved by Cech.

The camera repeatedly replayed Mista's expression when he took the shot.

That lack of confidence almost overflowed the screen.

Cech is too strong!

In the 56th minute, Sun Jihai delivered a cross from the right wing.

Youngster Mandzukic's header went wide, but he still received applause from the Manchester City fans in the stadium.

Sixty-third minute.

Fabregas delivered a clever through ball to Ashley Young.

Ashley Young received the ball, cut inside, and shot from a tight angle.

The football hit the side netting; it was very dangerous.

But Maksa, standing on the sidelines, shook his head.

This child is no good.

Didn't you see that Kai has an open shot at the top of the key?

Why aren't you sharing this?

Was it intentional or accidental?

This really does retain some of the charm of the British Empire.

He's not a superstar yet, but he's already playing like one.

Deschamps said, "That kid probably thinks that Kay has already scored four goals, which should be enough."

Maxa spat as he spoke: "Enough? What do you mean 'enough'? Is four goals so great? Hasn't Deng Kai ever scored four goals?"

Even if Deng Kai scores a hundred goals, there's still a chance; his teammates should still look for him!

"This is a tactical requirement of the team; it's not something anyone can change arbitrarily!"

"Of course, unless Deng Kai himself doesn't want to play."

Schmeichel and Guardiola nodded.

Recently, under Maksa's guidance, everyone has read some of the Four Books and Five Classics.

It mentions some related content.

In mainland China, when one person gives a gift, the other person will say "I can't accept this" and refuse several times. But if you think they really don't want it, you're in trouble.

This balance is difficult for foreigners to grasp.

Even if you keep passing the ball to Deng Kai and then Deng Kai keeps passing it to you, with each of you being considerate of the other, it's still better than Ashley Young trying to steal opportunities.

This kid will most likely be on the bench again next season.

"Sun Jihai, go up there, you play up front. Ashley Young, you play right back!" This was almost the first time this season that Maxa had directly intervened in the team's lineup.

He ordered Ashley Young and Sun Jihai to switch positions.

Sun Jihai is fine; he can play any position.

However, Ashley Young is usually a left-back, left winger, or right winger, and rarely plays right-back.

Ashley Young was somewhat displeased about this.

But Chinese fans absolutely adore Sáxima.

As expected of the legendary coach, and a former national team coach, he still loves us at heart.

This is clearly giving Sun Jihai an opportunity.

As Manchester City rises to undefeated status this season, some media outlets have criticized Maksa.

They believe that Guardiola has been more involved in coaching, substitutions, and interviews this season, and has made greater contributions to the team than Maxija.

But domestic fans firmly support Maxi.

They believe that a team like the Undefeated Blue Moon is good enough with Deng Kai leading the way; they could win even if there was a dog on the coaching bench.

So, can Guardiola be a coach?

He can't!

I don't have that ability, you know?

Didn't we tie him up this season?

The real test of the head coach's magic will come next season when everyone has thoroughly figured out the secrets of the undefeated Blue Moon.

At that point, it would definitely be Maxa's turn to make a move.

Guardiola: MMP!

Seventy-first minute.

Manchester City launched an attack down the right flank.

Ashley Young overlapped with Sun Jihai on the wing, dribbled down the flank, and delivered a cross.

Unfortunately, the cross was of poor quality and was blocked by the opponent.

The football bounced right to Sun Jihai's feet.

Sun Jihai dribbled into the penalty area from the right and, with a good shooting angle, chipped the ball to the far post.

The ball sailed over the heads of Ayala and Marchena.

boom!

Deng Kai cut inside from the left flank, shaking off Garrido, and made a diving save at the far post.

The football darted into the near corner like a cannonball.

The next moment, Deng Kai got up and rushed towards Sun Jihai.

"GOAL! Six to zero!"

"Sun Jihai! Sun Jihai delivered a crucial assist!"

"This is yet another assist from a Chinese player in the UEFA Cup! The last player to do so was Arsenal star Wu Xudong!"

"It's the right wing again! A full-back playing as a winger again! No wonder our ancestors had that old saying, 'No one can surpass him!' Now I understand what it means!"

Why is this assist so important?

"Because this is Deng Kai's fifth goal of the match!"

"Winning five top honors!"

"Manchester City's five goals herald the birth of another five-time trophy winner in Europe's top five leagues!"

"Who else!"

The Manchester City fans in the stadium erupted in cheers once again.

They never get tired.

As long as the team dares to keep scoring, they can keep celebrating for another three days and three nights!

All of Europe was watching with bated breath at this moment.

The radiance of this blue moon is too dazzling.

Next season...who can stop them?

Real Madrid? Bayern Munich? Juventus? AC Milan? Inter Milan? Barcelona? Lyon? Manchester United? Arsenal? Chelsea? Liverpool?

To be honest, more than half of these teams have been taught a lesson by Manchester City.

Eighty-second minute.

Vicente won a penalty during a counter-attack and converted it.

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

Six to one.

Valencia scored their first goal of the match.

The Valencians did not celebrate.

I just can't feel happy.

Valencia then substituted Sissoko for Baraja.

Eighty-seventh minute.

Thiago Silva's long-range shot from outside the penalty area once again tested Canizares.

But after being thoroughly thrashed by Deng Kai for the entire match, Canizares finally found his form and made a diving save to push the ball away.

This kick was powerful and heavy.

When he lunged out, the football bounced very fast.

As a result, Deng Kai and Mandzukic, who were preparing for a follow-up shot and to try and get on the end of the goal, both missed the ball.

But as the ball flew past him, Deng Kai immediately turned and leaned back.

boom!

A bicycle kick.

The soccer ball went straight into the net.

The scene was completely silent.

The next moment, the whole world seemed to explode.

"GOAL!"

"Upside-down kick!"

"Seven to one!"

"Deng Kai has scored his sixth goal of the match!"

"The sixth one!"

"My God!"

"I would call him the world's best winger!"

"Six goals in a single game! Duncan has set a new record for goals in a UEFA Cup final! This is absolutely insane!"

"This was an absolute rout!"

After the 90 minutes of regular time were over, the referee blew the final whistle, saving the dejected Valencia players.

The Valencia players collapsed to the ground, covering their faces in pain.

They can accept losing.

But it's hard to accept losing like this.

This was the darkest day of their careers.

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