Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"Hey, I don't know if you guys have noticed, but Chris's been really active today."

"Everyone knows he's active when he has the ball, but is he this active when he's not with the ball? He wasn't like that before, was he?"

"He made a lot of runs and even created space for his teammates today, which is very rare."

"Look, look, another sprint after dropping back, drawing away two defenders. Deng Kai took the opportunity to send the ball to the right wing, Sporting Lisbon's right winger crossed... unfortunately, it was caught by the goalkeeper."

"The key point is that Chris wasn't upset that his teammates didn't pass him the ball, which is also very rare. He's a player with a very strong desire to get the ball, which is both his strength and his weakness."

As Maxa watched Ronaldo make one empty run after another, he wanted to tell Deng Kai, "Hurry up and pass him the ball, or what will happen if Ronaldo goes berserk?"

However, neither Ronaldo nor Duncan behaved as Maxi had imagined.

Deng Kai continued to utilize Ronaldo's movements to move his other teammates around.

Aside from grimacing and shaking his head, Ronaldo showed no signs of losing control of his emotions.

Finding a moment of respite, Ronaldo approached Deng Kai: "What are you doing? Didn't you say you'd do it next time?"

Deng Kai: "Hey buddy, you don't actually think this team can win the game with just the two of us, do you?"

Cristiano Ronaldo looked completely bewildered: "Isn't that right?"

Deng Kai was speechless: "You have indeed scored the most goals in the team, and your offensive role is irreplaceable. But you need to know how all of this came about."

"You need others to pass you the ball and create space for you. Even if you could do all that, wouldn't you rather dribble past opponents and shoot than defend and pass?"

"Since you need others when you need them, you should also meet their needs."

"We've been playing for almost sixty minutes, haven't you noticed that our right winger and right back are practically falling asleep?"

"They can certainly be replaced, but no matter who replaces them, you still have to get along with other people, right?"

"Moreover, if we want to go further, we need more high-caliber helpers."

"If your goal is just to play 18 regional matches, then I can guarantee that every pass I make will be to you from now on."

"But if you still have hopes for the upcoming North and South Division series and the championship game, then do what I did and use these less stressful games to take a good look at who on the team we can rely on in crucial moments, okay?"

Deng Kai wasn't sure if Ronaldo had understood, so he sent Ronaldo back to the left wing to figure it out.

If you don't give your teammates opportunities to attack normally, it's very difficult to get them to pull off a surprise victory in crucial moments.

Manchester City is a team where everyone is involved and everyone has a chance to contribute. In a life-or-death situation, anyone could potentially save the team.

It's not that they were lucky, but that they usually "waste" enough opportunities for non-core players.

In the 67th minute, Ronaldo's positive attitude paid off.

His aggressive pressing in the attacking third earned him a valuable steal.

He is very fast, and even though he has not studied how to steal the ball, his all-out pressing can still cause a lot of trouble for the opponent.

After making a tackle in the attacking third, Ronaldo immediately passed the ball to Deng Kai and then surged forward into the penalty area.

As he ran, he raised his right hand, as if afraid Deng Kai wouldn't see him.

"Here! Pass the ball to me!"

Cristiano Ronaldo is full of confidence.

Casabia's center-back immediately caught up with Ronaldo and began a contest with him.

Cristiano Ronaldo was like a tiger descending from the mountain, rampaging through Casablanca's penalty area.

boom!

A loud bang was heard.

Cristiano Ronaldo, running, looked at the football flying towards the goal with a puzzled expression.

He turned his head again to look in the direction the football had come from, and Deng Kai was still in the shooting posture.

???

WTF!

Swish!

The football splattered through the net again.

It was a pity that Casabia's goalkeeper failed to save Duncan's shot the first time, because that shot was not difficult to save.

In that case, there's really nothing to regret about this goalkeeper.

Because this shot was of very high quality.

The football went straight into the top left corner of the goal.

The angle and speed are both exceptional.

"Great! Deng Kai helps the team score again! Three to zero!"

"Deng Kai is in fantastic form; he's scored twice in two consecutive matches!"

"Similarly, Chris is also surprising. Everyone says Chris can't pass or assist, but he delivered two assists in this game. Such a strong response should shut those people up."

"Hey, Chris found Deng Kai, but why does he look a little unhappy?"

Cristiano Ronaldo was obviously unhappy.

Because he once again became Deng Kai's wingman.

"Shouldn't you have passed the ball to me?" Ronaldo asked, his voice tinged with confusion and dissatisfaction.

As Deng Kai jogged to celebrate, he spread his hands and said, "This isn't my fault; you only have yourself to blame."

Cristiano Ronaldo's blood pressure spiked: "My fault? Was my positioning not sharp enough? I turned their penalty area upside down!"

Deng Kai: "That's the problem. You're too much of a threat, man. They're all surrounding you, afraid you'll get the ball. You're the only one drawing the attention of their entire defense."

"I don't have the ability to get the ball directly to you over all those obstacles. Your positioning is comparable to Inzaghi's, but unfortunately I'm not Zidane behind you."

"It's my fault! I can't let you unleash your full potential yet!"

Deng Kai spoke as if it were the truth.

Inzaghi performed exceptionally well in Serie A over the past two seasons, winning the Serie A Golden Boot the year before last, and helping Juventus lift the Serie A title after transferring to Juventus last year.

He was known for his skillful positioning and helped the team win the European U21 Championship in 94. After that, he made a regular entry into the Italian national team.

Cristiano Ronaldo was clearly pleased with Duncan's analogy.

So he generously replied, "It's alright, you're already very good. I believe that one day you will become Portugal's best midfielder. At that time, your passing will be worthy of my runs and shots!"

Cristiano Ronaldo took it seriously... He even comforted Deng Kai.

He also felt he could perform even better, but the team held him back.

He really made me cry my eyes out!

The two were speaking from the sideline. Maxa had rushed over earlier to join them in celebrating, but their conversation left him speechless.

After Ronaldo left, Maxa laughed and said, "That kid Cristiano can't even tell a joke from a joke. In that situation, shooting would have been wiser than passing him the ball."

However, Deng Kai looked at Maxa seriously and said, "No, I'm telling the truth."

"If I had the ability, I would definitely pass the ball to him."

"He's the best goal scorer in the world, bar none!"

Maksa stood there, stunned.

That's why I say you and Cristiano Ronaldo are best friends.

How come such a promising midfielder has a problem with his intelligence alone?

Is Cristiano Ronaldo good or not?

excellent.

But honestly, Maxisa doesn't think Ronaldo will necessarily develop to the level of Simão or Quaresma.

Because Ronaldo's passing and technical skills are really lacking.
