Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

The Premier League's top right winger, France's sharpest winger, and the Scarface known for his dribbling skills, couldn't outrun Deng Kai?

This scene surprised many people.

But in fact, the Manchester City players, including Ribery himself, were not surprised.

Manchester City has many speedy players, with Lahm, Ribery, Maicon, Torres and others being in the top tier.

Lahm and Ribery appear to be slightly faster than Maicon, but this is actually due to their agility; the three of them are roughly the same speed.

Torres, however, has a slight edge in absolute speed.

However, during training in the second half of this season, Deng Kai once ran faster than Torres.

Even though it was only once.

However, considering Deng Kai's performance in the last few games, his speed may have reached the ceiling level of the Premier League.

For example, Cristiano Ronaldo of Manchester United, or Wu Xudong of Arsenal.

Seeing that Ribery couldn't keep up, Thuram thought for a moment and immediately rushed towards Duncan, preparing to end Portugal's attack with a foul.

As for proper defense, he really couldn't stop Deng Kai.

He's really going to throw up if he runs any further.

Thuram clearly intended to crash into Deng Kai.

No matter what dribbling moves Deng Kai makes, Thuram won't be fooled, because his target is Deng Kai as a person, not the ball at his feet.

This is the determination of Thuram to defend the lead that Zidane brought to the team.

however……

boom!

Deng Kai suddenly kicked the football forward more than ten meters.

Then he moved to the left and ran outside the sideline.

At the same time, raise your right hand to meet any possible obstruction.

He saw through Thuram's intention to foul.

This decision prevented Thuram from completely colliding with Deng Kai.

The two only made slight contact, and Deng Kai blocked it in advance.

Deng Kai gave a push, and the relay took off.

"Oh My God!"

"It's over! Deng Kai actually got through!"

"That was a successful overtaking maneuver from the outside!"

"Thuram is chasing back, but he can't keep up with Deng Kai."

"Even Ribery can't keep up!"

"Thuram retreated inwards ahead of time, preparing for the route he would take after cutting inside from Kadengkai."

"Oh! Deng Kai cut inside too! He doesn't want Thuram to block his position."

"If Thuram is traveling from point A to point B in a straight line, then Deng Kai is traveling from point A to point B in a curve... He's gone around it! Deng Kai has bypassed Thuram!"

"Although Deng Kai covered more distance, he completed the inside cut before Thuram! Thuram is still behind Deng Kai!"

"Deng Kai has broken into the penalty area!"

"He overtook Thuram with his absolute speed!"

"The laws of physics break down at this moment! The shortest distance between two points is the one between Deng Kai and Deng Kai!"

boom!

Deng Kai took a direct shot from a tight angle.

Barthez, of course, lunged for the far corner.

After all, the near post has a shooting angle of less than ten degrees.

However, the football slipped through a narrow gap of more than 20 centimeters between Barthez's leg and the goalpost and into the goal.

Deng Kai's shooting skills are accurate to the centimeter level!

"Goal!"

"A miraculous goal!"

"A powerful goal!"

"Deng Kai scored a Ronaldo-esque goal! No fancy dribbling or skillful passing, just pure speed and passion!"

"Especially that exaggerated overtaking maneuver on the outside, it demonstrated Deng Kai's absolute confidence in his speed!"

"Even with Ribery and Thuram working together, they didn't waste a single second of Deng Kai's time!"

"It seems Deng Kai was spurred on by Zidane's brace. After the invincible Zidane helped France take the lead against Portugal, the invincible Deng Kai helped Portugal equalize!"

"Whether it's the two teams, or Duncan and Zidane, their battle continues!"

The camera focused on Zidane.

Zidane's mouth twitched.

He shook his head slightly.

Gone!

Zidane knew that France was unlikely to win this match.

We'll have to wait for the penalty shootout.

The game then entered halftime.

This time is very short.

But the Portuguese team used this incident to accomplish a sanitation task.

Deng Kai and Quaresma switched positions, with Deng Kai moving from the left wing to the right wing.

His matchup changed from Ribery and Thuram to Zidane and Lizarazu.

Lizarazu is 35 years old this year, and his abilities in all aspects are weaker than Thuram's. Moreover, he is only 1.7 meters tall.

As for Zidane... in the last five minutes, according to Maksa's naked eye calculations, Zidane's movement distance was no more than one hundred meters.

He doesn't even take a walk when the ball isn't on his side.

He doesn't move at all unless absolutely necessary.

The second half of the game has begun.

As Deng Kai moved to Zidane's side.

Possession of the ball is increasingly concentrated on this side.

This means Zidane can no longer stand still, or even take a walk.

He needs to be active and move around a lot. Even if he doesn't defend Deng Kai, he should at least help his teammates pass and receive the ball.

But Portugal kept passing the ball to Deng Kai, who then actively attacked Zidane.

In the 106th minute, Deng Kai easily broke past Zidane and engaged in a battle with Lizarazu, who came up behind him.

In the 108th minute, Deng Kai once again outmaneuvered Zidane, leaving Zidane furious.

He actually still has some stamina left to defend Deng Kai, but... once Deng Kai keeps wearing him down, he won't last until the end of the game.

The French team had clearly considered shifting possession to Ribery's side.

But the Portuguese team has gone mad; they have concentrated most of their forces on Ribery's side, trying to annihilate him.

This actually gave Zidane's side a lot of space.

France might even have an advantage of one or two players on Zidane's side.

It's impossible for the French team not to pass the ball this way.

111th minute.

After Ribery's breakthrough attempt failed, he passed the ball back to Vieira for support.

Vieira looked up and saw that Zidane had many opportunities. As long as Zidane could keep the ball, with his ability, he could deliver a brilliant pass in no time!

boom!

Vieira made a long pass to Zidane.

At that moment, Zidane was in despair.

Ignoring his physical limitations, he engaged in a fierce competition with Deng Kai.

The two of them bumped into each other and shoved each other.

But in the end, despite being in a worse position, Deng Kai jumped and secured the landing spot... He jumped higher than Zidane!

Deng Kai then blocked Zidane, repeatedly feinted with his shoulders to the left and right, turned and dribbled down the left flank to complete the breakthrough.

Zidane saw Deng Kai's breakthrough, but Deng Kai first dribbled the ball before sprinting forward.

Zidane couldn't stop the ball, and he couldn't stop Deng Kai either.

In the few encounters between the two world-class midfielders in this match, Zidane maintained the upper hand throughout.

But from the moment Deng Kai switched lanes, Zidane was completely dominated by Deng Kai!

"Deng Kai has dribbled past Zidane again! Zidane even gave up on chasing back!"

"A brilliant diagonal pass! Deng Kai delivered a superb pass from the right flank, directly connecting with Quaresma who was cutting inside from the left!"

"Quaresma curls a shot from the left side of the penalty area! He's a right-footed player, this position is perfect for him to shoot!"

"Goal! Quaresma! Figo III has scored the crucial goal!"

"Four to three! Portugal scores two goals in extra time, taking the lead against France once again!"

"My God! This could very well be a game-winning shot!"

"Of course, Quaresma played beautifully, but the most important thing about this goal was the beautiful pass from Deng Kai! Moreover, Deng Kai broke through after overpowering Zidane in the header, which is similar to the second goal scored by Zidane."

"These two world-class midfielders are so fiercely competitive, neither of them will concede to the other!"

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