Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Ground Football: Cristiano Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him. Chapter 739 From the Golden Generation to the Diamond Generation, it's like a dream. In addition, this Portuguese team lacks chemistry.

The team includes key players from the remnants of the golden generation, such as Figo, Rui Costa, Pauleta, and Baía.

There are also players from Sporting Lisbon and Porto.

This doesn't even take into account that the Sporting Lisbon players have been separated for two years.

The three factions could never possibly merge.

Because their playing styles are inherently different.

At the very least, the footwork and forward pressing required by the Sporting Lisbon system are something that the Porto system's defenders cannot do.

So don't be fooled by Manchester City's unbeatable attacking prowess this year.

But if we play a fast-paced, attacking style against Portugal, we really have a chance to win.

No one believes this Portuguese team is better than Manchester City, even though their squad seems more luxurious.

……

Lisbon, Alvalade Stadium.

Portugal's red jerseys and green shorts dominated the entire stadium.

But in the north stand of the stadium, a large group of fans were wearing green and white striped Sporting Lisbon jerseys.

Number 23, number 24.

Number seven, number ten.

These are the numbers used by Cristiano Ronaldo and Benjamin Duncan.

This is their home ground.

Even during the warm-up phase, the fans at the stadium were already bursting with excitement.

As the players from both sides officially entered the field, the cheers from the crowd grew louder and louder.

Until the camera focused on Deng Kai.

The cheers at the scene suddenly increased several orders of magnitude.

Fans chanted Deng Kai's name wildly.

"DK!"

"DK!"

"Siu!"

"King!"

"Caesar!"

"Our Caesar is back!"

Hearing this somewhat embarrassing and childish nickname, Deng Kai's memory seemed to go back to a few years ago.

He now understands why Zidane, Ronaldo, Figo, Rivaldo, and other superstars laughed like that when he first appeared at the Ballon d'Or as Kaiser.

This is really...

Tai She died.

Just like when Fahrenheit first appeared, they would all say together, "We are the universe's super invincible handsome men group, Fahrenheit!"

Wang Ziyi's self-introduction: "I'm Ziyi, who never memorizes lyrics and relies on meticulousness in life. Everyone's gaze is like an stimulant for me, slurping and slurping..."

Looking back on these situations later, they'll feel just as embarrassed as Deng Kai.

At least Cristiano Ronaldo has already scraped together a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment for Deng Kai.

He's now afraid of people shouting things like "Give me an old CD," "Bicycle Boy Chris," and "Little Ronaldo from Madeira."

This is absolutely torture.

But this is where Deng Kai and Cristiano Ronaldo differ.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a "general" by nature, but he mistakenly believes himself to be a king, so he cannot handle the situations where a true king is needed.

Deng Kai was appointed "King," so...

"Snapped!"

As Deng Kai emerged from the players' tunnel, he raised both hands above his head and patted them, then pointed to the Sporting Lisbon die-hard fans' section.

He simultaneously shouted, "Siu!"

"Snapped!"

He clapped his hands again and shouted, "Siu!"

"Snapped!"

"Siu!"

The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time... but this time it was the die-hard fans in the stands who applauded.

They clapped faster and faster.

The siu sound coming from his mouth grew louder and louder.

Tens of thousands of fans, with strict discipline.

The sounds blended together.

This is the Viking war cry!

Sporting Lisbon used to have this customary celebration during the Duncan era.

Surprisingly, they still haven't forgotten.

"siuuuuu!"

Even the stadium DJ—no, the stadium commentator—couldn't resist and led the entire stadium in a final cheer.

Portugal's morale soared, sweeping away their slump!

Huang Jianxiang: "This is the significance of a leader! This is the significance of Deng Kai! The Portuguese team has never had such morale before!"

"Many people believe that this life-or-death battle will not be over until after ninety minutes."

"But I can tell you very frankly that the outcome of the match was already decided the moment Deng Kai's name appeared in the starting lineup!"

"Portugal will win!"

Huang Jianxiang once again sang and danced in the live broadcast room.

Zhan Jun and He Wei stared at each other, waiting for a long time, but the director didn't speak up to remind Huang Jianxiang.

It's important to know that if they express even slightly subjective opinions or act with a bit of fervor, the director will remind them to remain neutral and be mindful of their position.

Why doesn't Huang Jianxiang need to be careful?

Zizi!

Director access.

Director: "Mr. Huang, get a little more excited, raise your voice a little higher! Some fans backstage are complaining that your voice isn't as energetic as it used to be. You can't slack off!"

Zhan Jun: ? ? ?

He Wei: mmp!

……

Inside the stadium.

Figo and other members of Portugal's golden generation felt as if they were in a dream when they experienced such a thunderous cheer.

A few years ago, they also captivated hearts with their dance.

That was their era.

But now, perhaps starting from this match... Portuguese football has entered the era of dominance by the Diamond Generation led by Duncan and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Times change.

The reign of the king has come to an end!

beep!

With the sound of a whistle, the competition officially began.

The Spanish were clearly provoked by the Portuguese's "pre-match celebration".

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

The Viking war cry was a celebration gesture performed by the Vikings after achieving victory.

The Portuguese were incredibly arrogant before the match even started.

Is it so great to have a world number one ranked player?

Our Raul also won the Ballon d'Or, okay?

The Spanish launched a fierce attack.

In the sixth minute, Morientes dropped back to receive the ball and made a through pass, demonstrating excellent pivot play.

Raul rushed out and got a shot on goal.

boom!

Before Raul could shoot, Pepe, who was covering from the side, slid in and tackled the ball to clear it.

They completed a swift and clean defensive play.

"Well done!"

Baía, Kirop, Carvalho, and others encouraged Pepe.

They are not intimidated by Raul, the Ballon d'Or winner.

Eighth minute.

Portugal also got a chance.

Figo and Rui Costa still have a good understanding, with the latter providing the former with a through ball.

Figo caught up with the ball on the right wing and made a cutback pass.

Rui Costa flicked the ball to Deco on the left.

He unleashed a powerful long-range shot from the edge of the penalty area.

Unfortunately, they couldn't hold it down, and the football went over the crossbar.

Casillas was so startled that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"This kid has a problem with his mentality." On the Portuguese team's bench, next to Triguera, Manchester City manager Maxière, who was on the coaching staff as an advisor, spoke up.

The assistant coach next to him nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Deco's shot was too hasty, too focused on surprise. If his shooting motion were more fluid, the quality of his shot would be much higher."

Maxa shook his head repeatedly: "No, what I mean is, Kai has such a big open space on the left, his chances are even better, Deco should keep passing to Kai!"

The assistant coach was taken aback.

you sure?

Deco is at the top of the arc, unmarked.

Deng Kai is cutting inside from the left without the ball.

If you receive the ball and shoot from an angle of no more than 30 degrees, do you call that a better chance?

The teaching assistant thought Mr. Maxa must be crazy.

That's true, he's been away from Portugal for two years after all, so he doesn't know how good Deco is.

This is the core player of a Champions League team.

He has recorded over 15 assists for four consecutive seasons, including over 20 assists in three of those seasons, and has ranked second on the European assist leaderboard for four consecutive seasons!

If Maxa knew what the other person was thinking, he would definitely say, "Yes, yes, you're absolutely right, but do you know who's ranked ahead of Deco on the European assist leaderboard for the past four seasons?"

"Of course, there's also the European Golden Boot in the last two years."

"To be frank with Deco, at the end of the day, Deco is just a bankrupt version of Kai, you know?"

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