Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"Here I am, here I am, I'm in the zone!"

"I feel like I'm full of energy."

"The football was so obedient today, it was unbelievable! I felt like it had become my other foot!"

Cristiano Ronaldo appeared extremely excited.

He is a typical big-game player.

He quickly proved his words to be true.

Just two minutes later.

After receiving a pass from teammate Araujo on the wing, Ronaldo sped down the left flank, causing the defenders who were chasing him to fall over.

Overtake, cut inside, create space, long shot, goal!

All in one go!

A second time!

Everyone in the stands couldn't help but applaud his spectacular solo performance.

Casabia decisively chose to mark Ronaldo.

However, Ronaldo still managed to create two dangerous situations on the wing, especially the second one, which resulted in the opposing defender receiving a yellow card.

Nineteenth minute.

The active Ronaldo even made a tackle in the attacking third.

He passed the ball to Deng Kai and then moved forward.

Deng Kai fired directly at the ball.

Casabia's center-back blocked the ball with his body.

The football flew back to Deng Kai's side.

Deng Kai made a volley pass without stopping the ball.

Cristiano Ronaldo, making a forward run, used his chest to bump the ball and get past Casabjaya, the center-back.

Casabia's goalkeeper came out to challenge.

The football had already slipped from Ronaldo's chest to his calf.

Before the ball could continue its descent, Ronaldo used his shin to propel it forward, sending it flying into the net.

"My goodness! It was totally worth it! The ticket price for this game was absolutely worth it!"

"In the 19th minute of the match, Sporting Lisbon took a 3-0 lead!"

"The player whom Deng Kai called Cristiano Ronaldo did not disappoint Caesar! From his first goal to completing his hat-trick, he only needed twelve minutes!"

"His stylish positioning and consistent one-on-one play, unparalleled speed for his age, sharp inside cuts, and powerful long-range shots, coupled with his intelligent handling of the ball while running at high speed... I now truly believe he could become the next alien!"

"This is the most beautiful goal of the game so far. Both Deng Kai's pass and Cristiano Ronaldo's execution were full of freestyle!"

"The fans at the stadium were chanting 'CD, CD,' which is the name of the combination of Cristiano Ronaldo and Duncan."

"I felt their performance just now was truly a high-quality improvisation CD!"

From this moment on, no one doubts that Sporting Lisbon will achieve today's victory.

The only question on everyone's mind is... how many more can they get in?

In the 23rd minute, Sporting Lisbon went on a rampage.

Ronaldo was making a lot of demands on the left, in an excellent position, but there were defenders lurking around him.

Deng Kai looked at Ronaldo and kicked... the outside of his foot!

The football flew towards Marcelino on the right.

He's in a better position than Cristiano Ronaldo!

Marcelino dribbled for a couple of steps, then, instead of trying to score, delivered a cross that was of decent quality.

Lorenzo leaped high, but unfortunately, he was far shorter than the opposing center-back.

The opposing center-back cleared the ball outside the penalty area during a header challenge.

boom!

The next moment, the football shot in again and nestled into the net.

The fans erupted in cheers.

"Caesar!"

"Caesar!"

"Caesar!"

Deng Kai unleashed a powerful volley from the edge of the penalty area, a world-class strike from the Black Panther Hunt, finding the back of the net.

The score is 4-0!

The whole place was incredibly hot.

But on Casabia's side, the players were blinded by defeat, and their actions became more aggressive.

This time, Deng Kai truly slowed down the pace to protect his teammates.

Casabia then managed to turn the tide somewhat.

In the 39th minute, Casablanca launched his only truly threatening attack so far.

The ball is passed down the wing to the attacking midfielder making a run forward.

The attacking midfielder swept the ball across the right side of the penalty area.

Sporting Lisbon's defensive midfielder Semedo, who was rushing back to defend, touched the ball and kicked it into his own net.

He made a fool of himself.

Casabia pulled one back.

They then kicked even more fiercely.

At this point, even if Deng Kai wanted to speed up the pace of the game again, he was already struggling.

This is the awkward situation for midfielders.

Being able to control the tempo is certainly excellent, but being able to restart the tempo is also essential.

Starting the rhythm isn't something you can just do by blindly passing the ball forward or dribbling.

You need to motivate every player to attack, so they know and are able to step up when it's time.

Deng Kai cannot do that yet.

Ultimately, the first half ended under Casablanca's relentless pressure.

During halftime, Deng Kai communicated with his teammates and clarified the team's overall strategy.

Keep the attack going!

Although he lacks the ability to make timely adjustments on the field, he can regain control of the team during halftime.

Some less skilled head coaches can only exert influence on the team during this period.

More skilled coaches can clearly change the course of the game and the outcome through substitutions and sideline instructions.

Back to the game.

In the 49th minute, Deng Kai made a sliding tackle to intercept the ball in midfield, and then launched a long ball to Ronaldo on the left wing.

Cristiano Ronaldo was in high spirits, successfully dribbling past his opponent once again, penetrating the inside, and creating a corner kick with his shot.

Sporting Lisbon midfielder Sergio took a corner kick.

Using a feint to shake off his marker, Ronaldo leaped high and headed the ball into the net.

He scored four goals in a row!

At this moment, many scouts in the stands couldn't hold back any longer.

They started looking at Ronaldo's file again and again, and unanimously wrote in their recommendations: "He has the potential to be a superstar, he has a very high probability of appreciating in value, and we recommend that he be signed immediately."

Then they attached their suggested purchase price.

The range is from 200,000 euros to 1 million euros.

Don't assume it's cheap.

At this stage, even tens of thousands of dollars isn't cheap for small-ball transactions.

Many players who play in the top five European leagues are valued at only one or two million euros.

Sixty-fourth minute.

After receiving a pass from his teammate, Deng Kai once again made a no-look pass, sending the ball straight to his midfield teammate Sergio who was making a forward run.

Sergio received the ball and decisively passed it across.

The team's center forward, Lorenzo, followed up with a shot and scored.

Six to one!

Sporting Lisbon made Casablanca, their second-placed opponent in the league, feel like they were at the bottom.

Sergio, who had already provided two assists, was spotted by some scouts in the stands.

Most of these scouts are from within Portugal, unlike the group of scouts from all over Europe who just looked at Cristiano Ronaldo and Duncan.

Their owners are almost all Portuguese league teams, which do not have much financial resources and cannot afford to spend huge sums of money to bring in young players.

They are used to finding bargains.

"Sergio is a very good midfielder. In some ordinary teams, he could even be the midfield core," a scout from Boavista told a club executive. "He was also the midfield core of Sporting Lisbon U15."

"But after Deng Kai came, he became a workhorse player. This was not good for his development."

A Boavista executive said, "So you think Duncan should be playing second fiddle to Sergio, instead of what he's doing now?"

The scout shook his head, saying that Sergio and Duncan were not even in the same league and were not comparable.

In the eyes of those in the know, Deng Kai is more than one or two times better than Sergio!
