Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"Which team are you from? I feel like I've never seen you before," Moutinho asked curiously from behind Deng Kai.

"I'm a free agent." Deng Kai shook his head, trying to sort out his chaotic thoughts.

His first step was to conquer the stadium and the game before him!

"Oh, it must have been really tough for you to get here. I hope you can do well later." Moutinho said, indicating that he shouldn't have asked the question.

Becoming a free agent at the age of thirteen or fourteen is another way of saying that the team no longer wants you.

The attrition rate in European football youth training programs is extremely high.

More than 95 percent of youth academy players ultimately fail to secure a professional contract.

Every youth training player needs to be mentally prepared for this.

"He's here! Look at him, his expression is really unpleasant. Does he think he's Simão or Quaresma?" Moutinho muttered to himself.

He really disliked the person who walked over.

Because the other player is the kind of talented player who doesn't need to worry about what to do without a professional contract.

Don't let his current location on the small island of Madeira fool you; everyone knows that Sporting Lisbon is already preparing to mold him into the next Quaresma!

Deng Kai also looked at the newcomer, and the expression under the other person's curly, ramen-noodle-like hair made him burst out laughing.

Regardless of age, Cristiano Ronaldo will always be the proud Cristiano Ronaldo.

As a child, he used pride to overcome social anxiety and discrimination.

After gaining fame, he used pride to defeat his opponents and fans.

In his old age, he used pride to overcome time and himself.

This pride has always been one of the sources of his strength and has inspired many people.

But those who dislike him often dislike this very thing.

"Are you crazy? You'll be seen as provoking me... Damn, he's coming over!" Moutinho quickly distanced himself from Duncan and silently conveyed to Ronaldo with his eyes, "I don't know him."

The other young players' eyes followed Ronaldo's movement.

Many people believe that those who "mocked" Ronaldo are going to suffer this time.

But José Fonte recognized Deng Kai immediately.

Because Ronaldo, who had dominated him in the semi-final three years ago, was also dominated by this short guy in the final. His performance at that time was simply godlike in midfield!

"You haven't grown much in these three years," Cristiano Ronaldo said, standing in front of Deng Kai with a bitter and resentful look on his face.

Upon hearing this, many people understood.

The short guy knows Cristiano Ronaldo.

It seems their relationship isn't very good.

"Are we rivals again? Then all your growth is for nothing." Deng Kai refused to look up at Ronaldo. His height was a huge disadvantage; he was only about 1.4 meters tall, while Ronaldo, who was half a year older than him, was already 1.65 meters tall!

Although he's not tall, he's good at trash talk.

"Opponent? Sorry, don't you know what that substitute's vest represents? To put it bluntly, you're lucky you even get to play for seventy minutes!" Ronaldo looked down at Deng Kai. "Three years! Do you know how I've spent these past three years?"

"The day I lost to you, I cried and swore I would never lose again! And I did!"

"And what are you doing? Studying trigonometric functions, memorizing the periodic table, and researching Newton's first law?"

"Deng Kai, I've already surpassed you by a huge margin!"

Cristiano Ronaldo's words made the other young players wearing substitute vests feel very awkward.

In any case, wearing a substitute's vest means you're a step below the starting players.

However, Deng Kai spread his hands and laughed, "What can a vest represent? You're overthinking it. If it really represents anything, then maybe it means that I only need twenty minutes to make you taste defeat again."

"When you're playing football, nobody never loses. You overestimate yourself, Chris! If you want to become a true star, you have to accept your weaknesses first."

"It's been three years. I thought you would have grasped this point, but I overestimated your comprehension."

"Since that's the case, then let me personally wake you up. Otherwise, you'll probably never become a better Cristiano Ronaldo!"

sizzle!

The atmosphere in the players' tunnel plummeted to freezing point.

Everyone was worried that Ronaldo would hit Duncan, thus ignoring why Duncan referred to Cristiano Ronaldo as Ronaldo.

However, after clenching his fists for a few seconds, Ronaldo suddenly turned around and walked back to the back of the line. He forced a straight face, but his smile was still evident.

In fact, no one was happier than Cristiano Ronaldo when he saw Deng Kai return to the field.

Because Deng Kai is the only one, like Cristiano Ronaldo, who has virtually no rivals among his peers.

Seeing Deng Kai is like seeing a midfield version of himself for Cristiano Ronaldo.

I saw another version of myself in the world.

They saw another possibility beyond their own path.

This feeling is wonderful; perhaps this is what they mean by "love at first sight".

Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo has been teaching himself Chinese for the past three years, which has made his life particularly difficult.

"Then I'll be waiting for you on the court, and see how you make me lose again! You absolutely can't let me down... Kai!"

"Otherwise... I'll find it hard to forgive myself for losing to you three years ago!"
