Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Hey!

If I don't know, I was surprised when I said it.

I'm not sure about Deng Kai from the previous Nike Cup matches; he probably didn't make it.

But he still knew the names of the others.

This is half of the future of the Chinese national football team.

It's about age... cough cough, let's not talk about that.

Deng Kai quickly started brainstorming.

If this is the group of players... they are still much stronger than the national football players of the following decade or so.

In fact, the abilities of domestic players did not fall behind when they were young.

It could even be said that the football skills of children in most regions are similar.

Because at this stage, even the best young players can't reach a very high level.

The first, second, and third levels of Qi Refining are all the same as transcending tribulations and ascending to immortality.

The real gap widens dramatically at the U17, U19, and even U21 levels.

Why not take this opportunity to test the waters and then figure out if we can bring some positive influence to these players?

It's a good thing that it's done; whether it's a big improvement or a small one, it's still an improvement.

If it doesn't work out, at best we'll maintain the status quo; it's hard to say there's a worse solution for the development of this group of players.

Under these conditions, any disfigurement is equivalent to plastic surgery.

If you say the Football Association understands football, then they could ruin every promising young footballer in the country.

If you say the Football Association doesn't understand football, they could ruin every promising young footballer in the country!

After considering all this, Deng Kai had an idea.

He looked at Jiang Yunzhu and said, "Then how about we let them play a match against Sporting Lisbon?"

"Huh?" Jiang Yunzhu unconsciously opened her cherry-like mouth.

This……

"Although we can't compare to the top clubs, our youth training system is definitely top-tier," Deng Kai began to explain his point of view. "Moreover, we have European competitions this year, so we don't need to worry about our reputation at all."

"Furthermore, playing against us can also show the domestic audience the difference between Chinese young players and European young players at this stage."

Jiang Yunzhu found it hard to believe that these words came from the mouth of a thirteen-year-old child.

"But you...you're still just a..." Jiang Yunzhu found it hard to believe that Deng Kai could be of help in this kind of situation.

"I have powerful backers!" Deng Kai laughed. "I have a very good relationship with Mr. Triguera, the assistant coach of Sporting Lisbon's first team. He came from the team's youth coaching system and has a lot of influence within the team, including the management."

"If it's just one game during the winter break, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Even if the higher-ups are unwilling, Mr. Triglar himself has the right to plan such a match."

"Really? Oh my god!" Jiang Yunzhu excitedly hugged Deng Kai. "You're simply my Mr. Right!"

Deng Kai raised his hands above his head and kept calling for help.

Big!

It's huge!

He can't breathe!

But Jiang Yunzhu didn't realize what was happening.

Half a minute later, Jiang Yunzhu released Deng Kai and then discovered that Deng Kai's face was pale and he had almost suffocated.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly like this?"

Deng Kai waved his hand: "It's nothing, my back injury almost flared up again."

Jiang Yunzhu looked puzzled.

What is the connection between a pale complexion and a back injury?

In response, Deng Kai stated that the kidneys are also part of the waist.

During his back injury, he not only had to pay attention to his back, but also to his kidneys.

Otherwise, the effectiveness of medical bandages will be greatly reduced.

……

The match against the "Wahaha Team" was quickly finalized.

Sporting Lisbon is also quite interested in developing the Asian market.

Because the pool of young players in Europe has become fixed, Sporting Lisbon's pool can only be considered second-rate.

This severely impacted their black market operations.

To break the deadlock, we need to look to other areas.

Africa is too chaotic; there are simply no conditions for establishing youth football training programs.

Sporting Lisbon needs partners who can provide them with a certain foundation of children, rather than having to go to Africa to establish their own deep-rooted youth training system. They don't have that much money and energy to do that.

South America has a fairly mature but chaotic system, and Sporting Lisbon has some plans there, which are very difficult and unstable.

Asia is actually a high-quality incubation base for young players.

The only question is whether Asian players are even capable of playing football.

Or, as some might say, Asia currently lacks world-class superstars.

This will significantly reduce the market value of Asian players.

But who can guarantee that no Asian superstar will emerge in the next ten or twenty years?

This move could have been made earlier.

Especially considering the sincerity shown by China.

After helping Deng Kai resolve this minor problem, Trigra had something more important to discuss with him.

That is, Deng Kai's role and the team's tactics.

The importance of matches that were not originally important in youth teams has changed because of the emergence of the UEFA Youth League.

Sporting Lisbon U15 needs to win more games.

This is good for Ronaldo, the team, and even for Maxi and Duncan.

However, judging from the current situation, the talent of the other players on the team is indeed limited.

Only Cristiano Ronaldo and Duncan Duncan have a significant impact on the outcome of the match.

Cristiano Ronaldo always performs exceptionally well, and he proved this in the match against Viktoria Plzeň.

He might have looked disheveled just a moment ago, but as soon as the ball comes to his feet, he can become the opponent's biggest threat at any time.

Therefore, activating Deng Kai became the only thing Sporting Lisbon needed to do, especially since activating Deng Kai could directly promote further improvement in Ronaldo's statistics.

"I've noticed that you're extremely efficient on the counter-attack. Especially in the attacking third, most of your goals come from that." Trigra is far more professional than that imposter Maxa; he's incredibly perceptive.

"If the team assigns you a full-court press tactic, can you become the core of that tactic?"

This is a very meaningless question.

Because no one will say they can't do it.

But Trigla did ask.

He trusted Deng Kai's ability to assess his own abilities and his honesty.

Sure enough, Deng Kai shook his head after thinking for a moment.

Trigra was slightly disappointed.

"We don't need to press all over the court," Deng Kai replied. "Our physical condition, including our inherent tactics, doesn't support pressing all over the court."

"All we need to do is press high up the pitch! Immediately after losing possession, press high up the pitch, and keep our defenders slightly out of position. Even if we don't win possession, we shouldn't give them too many counter-attacking opportunities."

Triguera was immediately excited: "But that means we'll have fewer players in our midfield and attack during pressing phases. Even if we win possession, the player in possession will be under a lot of pressure."

"This places extremely high demands on the midfield playmaker!"

"Even when Simão played in the youth academy, he couldn't control the ball and organize the team well in front of multiple defenders and tacklers."

Deng Kai puffed out his chest without hesitation: "I can!"

Deng Kai was very confident and determined.

Before his match against Viktoria Plzeň, he wouldn't have dared to confidently declare that he could do it.

But now, he really can.

Because... his post-match reward for that game was a critical hit!
