Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Manchester Evening News: "Manchester United fans stand up to the media, chanting 'Manchester United is the best!'"

"Football Kaiser favors Manchester United; is Duncan, a 13-year veteran of the Red Devils, finally admitting he's not pretending?"

Manchester United's influence is far-reaching; Portugal's U15 superstar Chris raises the Red Devils' banner!

As a Portuguese journalist, my advice for Manchester United's youth academy signings: Cristiano Ronaldo and Duncan!

Manchester United fans immediately flocked to inquire about the two young players.

I was so moved when I looked it up that I was moved to tears.

When did these two children go blind?

Even the most die-hard Manchester United fans wouldn't dare say the team can win either the league or the Champions League this year.

Let alone a triple crown winner?

Who... gave those two children the courage?

Loved it!

But compared to the excitement of "Manwan".

Other media outlets in England were less enthusiastic.

442: "Treble? How ridiculous! This season in the Premier League belongs to Arsenal! The Champions League belongs to Juventus, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan!"

442 demonstrates professionalism.

At the other extreme, England's infamous *The Sun* newspaper, which holds a different view, seized on the key point: "Chris lives with the Duncan family, and boys this age are going through puberty; overly intimate contact could influence their future sexual orientation!"

In these two reports, The Sun's news received more attention and successfully went viral.

"442" cried in the toilet.

Some media outlets even went so far as to ask Deng Kai if he still liked girls.

In response, Deng Kai said, "The word 'still' earned me the last bit of respect for your journalism profession."

Is the editor-in-chief of The Sun an only child without brothers? Or a wild species without a father or grandfather? I wonder if his father, grandfather, brothers, and other siblings influenced his sexual orientation.

"Chris is my most reliable teammate on the court. Off the court, he's my best friend in life. Our friendship will last forever."

Faced with such rude interviews, Ronaldo never answers; he focuses all his attention on training.

However, Deng Kai still found the page in Ronaldo's diary that read "Chris is my best friend." Ronaldo had cut out the newspaper article and pasted it into his diary.

Deng Kai shook his head.

I was just saying it casually, I didn't expect anyone to actually take it seriously.

Afterwards, Deng Kai went to look through his diary.

It's full of interviews about how he defeated Ronaldo and outshone him.

Luo, you have to keep it up!

My future standing in the football world depends on you!

……

On December 8th, Sporting Lisbon hosted a league match against Calder.

With a goal and an assist from Ronaldo and a goal from Duncan, the team won 3-1.

On December 14th, Lisbon visited Alwaca and won 4-0, taking all three points away from home.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, and Deng Kai provided another assist.

With this, Deng Kai has climbed to the top of the assist charts in the Portuguese U15 league!

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo continues his meteoric rise as the top scorer, widening the gap between himself and second place.

The small Sporting Lisbon U15 team has surprisingly produced two outstanding talents.

They have gradually become one of the focal points of Portuguese football media.

Deng Kai also gained a blue-level player skill after each match in Turin and Alvaro.

"Scalpel Pass: Your through pass ability receives a slight boost."

"Crossing from the wing: Your crossing ability from the wing receives a slight boost."

These are all standard skills that can further enhance Deng Kai's passing ability, but none of them can bring about a qualitative change in Deng Kai.

He seems to have entered a bottleneck period and needs to accumulate experience before he can achieve a qualitative change from a quantitative one.

On a gloomy training day.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out outside the training field.

Before Deng Kai and the others could even see what was happening, Maxa pulled Deng Kai and Ronaldo aside and mysteriously led them through the locker room and basement, leaving the training base.

They were taken directly to Trigra's house.

The television in the Triguera family's home was broadcasting a news report: "The Portuguese Anti-Gambling Association has busted a gambling case today..."

"This was originally a routine case in a lower-league league, but with the confessions of the perpetrators, things seem to have taken a new turn. That is... Cristiano Ronaldo, the rising star from the youth academy of Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon and the top scorer in the U15 league, may be involved!"

"The Anti-Gambling Association, the Portuguese Football Federation, and the Lisbon local police have launched a joint investigation."

"Madeira police have notified Chris's brother, Hugo, to assist in the investigation. As for Chris, he will also assist in the investigation, with assurances from Sporting Lisbon."

Cristiano Ronaldo was stunned.

In this scene, one of the criminals is the "friend" who instigated his brother to gamble.

These people are really bastards.

Once caught, it starts biting indiscriminately.

"I need to know what happened!" Trigra said gravely. "A professional player should never be associated with gambling. Chris, I trust your character."

"But I also know that something must have happened here."

"Deng Kai, I heard you were there the day Hugo came to see Chris?"

Deng Kai nodded.

Trigla continued, "Among the criminals' confessions, there are statements regarding Hugo's collusion with Chris in gambling. The police have located the participants who placed the bets, and they have all confirmed this."

"We're in a very passive position!"

"If the worst-case scenario occurs, we might... have to abandon Chris."

Cristiano Ronaldo's face turned pale with fright.

Because if you're abandoned by your current club, no other club will want you.

The lessons learned from Andoa are still fresh in our minds.

Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't want to be without a club at such a young age; he also wants to repay his hardworking parents!

He couldn't imagine how he would face his parents and siblings if he couldn't make a lot of money in the future!

He is the hope of the whole family!

He carried the entire future of a large family on his shoulders!

"I didn't! I really didn't!" Cristiano Ronaldo cried like a child.

The last time Deng Kai saw Ronaldo cry like this was probably... during the upcoming European Championship final when Ronaldo was injured and forced to leave the game.

"It's alright," Deng Kai reassured Ronaldo, then looked at Triguera and said, "Hugo did come to see Chris, and he did indeed want to get some information..."

Deng Kai told Trigra the whole story.

Trigra and Maxa were completely bewildered.

Holy crap... was that maneuver really that amazing?

If what Deng Kai said is true, then Chris is definitely fine.

Hugo might be fined for buying unlicensed online gambling products, but the amount won't be too high, and that's it; it won't even amount to a criminal record.

Beep beep!

Trigra's phone rang.

As he listened to the other person's words, his expression shifted from sunny to cloudy.

"This is outrageous! They're being irresponsible. If they have a problem, they can come at me. Why drag a child into this fight!" Trigra argued with the other party for a few moments before hanging up the phone.

Sporting Lisbon has been plagued by internal strife for the past few years.

Trigra is an important figure on the ruling side.

However, another faction has come on strong this year, wanting to seize power.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Maxija are examples of achievements from the Triglavian school.

The other party wanted to take advantage of this incident to bring down Trigra and all the high-ranking officials behind him.

Therefore, they will try to get the club to give up on Ronaldo.

This confirms Cristiano Ronaldo's involvement in match-fixing, regardless of the actual circumstances.

What?

pity?

No, for these people, it's not a pity if a genius who isn't one of their own is ruined.

Therefore, before the truth of the matter was fully revealed, the head of Sporting Lisbon's development planning department gave an interview to the media, stating: "Sporting Lisbon has zero tolerance for this kind of thing! We will deal with Chris seriously!"

"Please rest assured, not only Chris, but anyone who has provided assistance to Chris in this matter will be dealt with severely and without leniency!"

In an instant, a towering wave crashed over Ronaldo.

The media barrage was so intense that the whole world seemed to have turned gray.
