Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Ground Football: Cristiano Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him. Chapter 742 Hello brother, hello Wei Zai defeated Spain, Portugal will advance directly.

Meanwhile, the Spanish team can only hope that the Greek team will be defeated by Russia.

And it has to be a decisive victory.

Because Spain's goal difference was already behind Spain's, and now they have conceded three more goals.

In an instant, Spanish fans who had never worried about qualifying were stunned.

This……

Is it...

Maybe...

Will they be eliminated in the group stage?

This was completely different from what they had expected before the match.

Thinking about what had happened recently, they really felt that Deng Kai was too strange.

It's too much for Spain.

From the UEFA Cup to Aznar and now to the European Championship, isn't this targeting Spain a bit too much?

why?

If it's Catalonia that offended you, what does that have to do with us in Spain?

The Catalans never imagined that what they had struggled for for years would be resolved by Deng Kai in a single match.

After the first half ended, both teams quickly went to the locker room.

However, some players remained on the field to warm up.

In the second half, both sides made substitutions.

On the Spanish side, it's a do-or-die situation.

They substituted Albelda with Real Sociedad's key midfielder, Xabi Alonso.

Alonso possesses defensive midfield capabilities, but his playmaking, passing, and organizational skills are even more outstanding.

Spain needs to intensify its attack!

In addition, the blond Manchester City rotation striker, Fernando Torres, also came on as a substitute, replacing target man Morientes.

The substitution at halftime was quite bold.

But after Portugal made their substitutions, the Spanish coaching staff became hesitant and timid.

Inter Milan's midfield maestro Viana replaced Rui Costa.

Barcelona's right-wing maestro Quaresma replaced Figo.

Of Portugal's golden generation, only the goalkeeper remains on the field.

In addition, defensive midfielder Veloso, one of Sporting Lisbon's current captains, replaced Costinha.

He played all three substitution cards in one go.

"Oh! Triguera's substitutions are very aggressive!"

"It seems he's trying to buy as much rest time as possible for Rui Costa, Figo, Costinha, and others, to avoid these three key players getting injured in the coming days."

"This is also a signal to call it quits."

"The Portuguese team should try some different styles of play next, as it's not easy to find a training opponent like the Spanish team."

The commentators guessed half right.

The Portuguese team is indeed trying to discover something new.

But the other half they didn't guess correctly was... Figo and two others were not the core players of this team.

When Deng Kai wasn't back, they could have a core position.

But after Deng Kai returned, they were all just pieces of the championship puzzle.

Even Deco is no longer indispensable.

So this is not a retreat.

Forty-seventh minute.

After receiving the ball in the middle, Ronaldo attempted to dribble past Marchena, but Marchena intercepted the ball.

The defenders in the UEFA Cup Best XI are quite strong.

Xabi Alonso received the ball and immediately launched a counter-attack with a long pass.

The Portuguese defense, accustomed to the Spanish team's possession-based short passing combinations, was caught off guard.

In addition, Torres's speed was extremely fast, allowing him to break through the defensive line and score.

Carvalho was ultimately forced to foul Torres.

But then he clutched his head.

Torres fell inside the penalty area.

The referee blew his whistle and finally awarded the first penalty of the day.

Made by Torres!

Raul then converted the penalty.

They helped the team pull one back.

One to three.

The Spanish seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Many Torres fans commented, "Torres would have finished this morning," "Torres has never been afraid of Gillop in the Premier League," and "Porto may have won the Champions League, but they are at best the second strongest team in Europe this year. Torres is the striker for the number one team!"

The Spanish team also began to trust Torres' attacking ability.

Fifty-first minute.

Raul dropped back and sent a through ball.

Torres managed to create a one-and-a-half-chance opportunity.

But just before he could shoot, Gilop stretched out his leg to break through, almost changing the score again.

Fifty-fifth minute.

Portugal controlled the ball.

Veloso passes the ball to Quaresma.

Quaresma maneuvered and moved around on the right flank, showing significantly more activity than Figo.

Quaresma then passed the ball forward.

Viana made a run into the box and received the ball.

He is younger and better at running and making forward runs than Rui Costa in this position.

This isn't a problem of offensive awareness; it's a problem of physical condition and age.

boom!

Viana passes the ball back in a triangular pattern.

Deco met the ball with a first-time through pass.

Spain's entire defense was breached in an instant.

Left winger Deng Kai, cutting inside without the ball, and center forward Cristiano Ronaldo both emerged and rushed towards the ball.

One-on-one!

And it's double!

Who will brew the wine for this ball?

boom!

Deng Kai didn't back down and swung his right foot.

Casillas made a diving save.

But Deng Kai did not touch the ball.

The next moment, Ronaldo followed up and pushed the ball into the empty net.

A second victory!

"Goal! Well done!"

"That's teamwork! That's the teamwork of CD players!"

"With Ronaldo and Duncan both in one-on-one situations, Casillas must have been desperate facing two world-class strikers."

"Deng Kai fakes a shot to set up Ronaldo, who then scores!"

"Those who follow the Premier League might not know that in Portugal, there's a saying that C is inseparable from D. This means that many of Ronaldo's goals involve D.

"That is indeed the case."

"This one, in particular, is a classic Deng Kai-style assist! Although Deng Kai didn't touch the ball and there's no assist stat, can you honestly say this wasn't an assist from Deng Kai?"

"That's what makes Deng Kai so powerful."

"Even though he never cared about the stats, and even though he had many assists that didn't deserve much attention, his assist numbers are still the best in Europe."

"This fully demonstrates that his assist ability is phenomenal, in a class of its own!"

"In this respect, even Deco, whose assist count is equally impressive, is slightly inferior."

Four to one.

CD teamed up and extended their lead once again.

After scoring, Cristiano Ronaldo smiled and said to Deng Kai, "That was a beautiful dribble, dd!"

On the surface, it refers to the "d" in "cd," which is an abbreviation of Deng Kai, but it actually means that Deng Kai is a younger brother.

Deng Kai wasn't going to argue with Ronaldo, and laughed, "Your open goal wasn't bad either, V-boy!"

Casillas, who overheard the conversation, was somewhat curious.

Cristiano Ronaldo... There's no "V" in Ronaldo's name, is there?

But why did Ronaldo suddenly clench his fists?

Cristiano Ronaldo: Tao, are you badmouthing me again?

In the 67th minute, Spain suffered another devastating blow.

Key striker Raul was forced to leave the game due to injury.

David Villa, an important rotation player for Manchester City this season, came on as a substitute.

Two of the four Spanish Dark Kings have already appeared.

Fabregas looked serious on the bench.

Everyone thought he was lamenting Spain's elimination in the group stage, but actually...

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