Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"This is a complete and utter show!"

"Get Deng Kai out of Alcochet Base!"

"He's a football fraud; he has absolutely no talent!"

"Why fire Andoya? Just because Andoya is better than Deng Kai?"

"As the father of a U14 player, I can say with certainty that if Deng Kai can make it to the U15, then all U14 players should be promoted to the U15!"

"Andoa has always been Alcochet's talented midfielder, and Sporting Lisbon's decision to dismiss him is a huge loss!"

"Andoya has now joined Qatar Sports U15, and he has performed brilliantly in the first two rounds, even providing a beautiful assist!"

"We demand an explanation! Sporting Lisbon's glorious youth training tradition cannot be interrupted by this fraudster!"

Public opinion began to ferment.

The situation is very unfavorable for Deng Kai.

Even Deng Kai's parents saw the overwhelming negative public opinion.

Deng's mother couldn't accept the criticism directed at Deng Kai, and she cried every time she saw it.

Even the strong-willed Mr. Deng caused a factory accident due to his distraction at work, injuring his toe when it was hit by a heavy object, requiring him to stay home and recuperate for several months.

Everything is going in a bad direction.

……

Boom boom boom!

Trigra knocked on Duncan's door.

"Please come in." Deng's mother invited him in.

Triguera, the Duncan family, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who was staying at the Duncan family's house, then discussed Duncan's future.

"Andoa comes from a well-off family, and his brother has connections with local gangs. The media will give this kind of person some face," Trigra explained the cause of the matter. "It'll all be fine after a while."

"But this is only in terms of public opinion. At the club level, some senior officials have already started to pay attention to this matter."

"Sporting Lisbon's youth academy has a good reputation. To put it bluntly, we're a big club that sells players. Figo, Simão, and even future stars like Quaresma, Leal... even you, Chris, will all be sold off."

"But once the reputation of youth training is affected, the selling price of these star players will also be affected."

"Fluctuations of several million dollars at a time are not something Deng Kai can be responsible for."

"Simão will be sold either in the winter transfer window or next summer... Some senior executives want to fire Deng Kai to reduce the potential fluctuations in Simão's value."

Trigra explained his purpose for coming.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely subdued.

"No! No way! Deng Kai is perfectly fine. He's the most talented young midfielder I've ever seen!" Ronaldo stood up, but was quickly pulled back to his seat by Deng Kai.

Deng Kai looked at Trigra, knowing that the other party had not finished speaking.

really.

Trigra said, "I can block all this pressure from above, but only temporarily."

"It might be six months, or it might be three months. I don't know how long I can hold on for you."

"You must deliver a satisfactory performance during this period."

"Deng Kai, this is the first crisis of your career. It may be difficult, but I hope you can pull through."

"You are my source of confidence when facing those aggressive higher-ups!"

Trigra was completely open and honest with her, sharing her joys and sorrows.

Mr. and Mrs. Deng were at a loss for words.

I have no way to repay you.

Deng Kai shook his head and said, "It won't take that long, sir."

"Two months!"

"Give me two months, and I'll make those higher-ups applaud your vision!"

"I promise!"

Trigra was overjoyed: "Great!"

After Triguera left, Deng's parents and Ronaldo were quite worried because Deng Kai's statement was too absolute.

Can public opinion be changed in just two months?

Even Ronaldo wouldn't dare say that, because he wouldn't be able to take responsibility if he did.

Was Deng Kai speaking recklessly?

Deng Kai did not explain to them.

He couldn't possibly tell everyone that with my "peerless genius" talent level, plus the boost from "training posts" and "energy drinks," my key attributes would improve significantly in two months, could he?

The following day, Sporting Lisbon's youth academy announced that academy player Deng Kai had entered a special training period and would not participate in team matches for the next two months.

The fans' commotion finally subsided.

However, some fans with ulterior motives continue to fan the flames, aiming to get the team to fire Deng Kai.

……

time flies.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Sporting Lisbon U15 faced a very difficult situation.

José Fonte, the original defensive linchpin, was promoted to the U16 team due to his outstanding performance in the Diamond Generation Invitational.

The rest of the players are all of average talent.

Despite the arrival of superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, Ronaldo is still young. Scoring eight goals in six games in a tournament where players are two years older than him is already a phenomenal performance.

But this won't help Sporting Lisbon gain enough points.

In the third round of the league, they were defeated by Iretek.

In the fourth round of the league, they faced their city rivals Benfica at home in the Lisbon derby, but were thrashed 1-5 by Benfica!

They suffered their first three-game losing streak of the season.

Next up was the U15 UEFA Champions League match, where they traveled all the way to Rotterdam, Netherlands, only to suffer a defeat at the Feyenoord Stadium.

Feyenoord's center forward had amazing shooting skills, scoring two world-class goals that left Lisbon helpless.

The player named Robin van Persie sparked Ronaldo's great interest in volleying without controlling the ball.

However, during training, Deng Kai called an emergency halt.

In Deng Kai's words, "Van Persie's first-time volley has the potential to become one of the world's best. But if he doesn't fixate on the word 'volley,' his skill and threat level could rise another half level!"

On September 14th, the team ended its losing streak with an away game against Kade, securing a draw that was far from satisfactory for the fans.

On September 21, fans began to feel satisfied with the draw in the previous round.

Because the team suffered their third consecutive home defeat in their third home game since the start of the season, losing to visiting Alwaca, they are now second to last in the region with four points after six rounds.

This basically means they won't have a chance to play in the North vs. South tournament this year.

Because no team with such a terrible start to the season has ever managed to finish in the top four of the region.

On September 27th, the team welcomed guests from Turin for the second round of the U15 UEFA Youth League.

Torino took the lead in the 22nd minute thanks to a goal from their center forward Quagliarella.

But Sporting Lisbon equalized thanks to a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo in the 76th minute.

The two teams eventually shook hands and drew, each earning a valuable European competition point.

Upon returning, Ronaldo stated frankly that Quagliarella's talent was limited and far inferior to Van Persie.

Deng Kai smiled but didn't say anything.

There's nothing wrong with the assessment of Cristiano Ronaldo.

But Deng Kai couldn't possibly tell Ronaldo, "This player with limited talent surpassed you to win the Serie A Golden Boot more than a decade later, could he?"

On October 11, Sporting Lisbon will play their third UEFA Youth League match, away against the youth academy team of Viktoria Plzeň in the Czech First League.

Sporting Lisbon had a chance to win the match at one point.

Cristiano Ronaldo's dribbling skills and speed helped him create two one-on-one opportunities and three shots on target.

But all five of these opportunities were cruelly rejected by the Viktoria Plzeň goalkeeper.

Ultimately, thanks to the goalkeeper's outstanding performance, Viktoria Plzeň secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Sporting Lisbon.

With two losses and one draw in three rounds of European competition, Lisbon's elimination is almost certain.

After the match, the goalkeeper generously praised the young Ronaldo's shooting skills: "He (Cristiano) is really incredible. He is almost three years younger than me, but he was the best midfielder and forward in the whole game."

Cristiano Ronaldo felt deeply ashamed of this.

When he returned to training, he would write the opponent's name—Petr Cech—on the goal to help him aim.

With this, Sporting Lisbon U15 has achieved its worst start to the season in ten years.

Maksa's position as manager is precarious.

But on the training ground at the Alcochet training ground, Ronaldo looked at the confident, smiling boy standing behind the football.

The two-month period has come to an end!

We respectfully invite the Dragon King to descend from the mountain!
