Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"Fried meatballs! Beautiful!" Trigra couldn't help but applaud.

"That's it? What happened to Chen Tao? Shoot, just two more steps and you can shoot, this position is great!" Wahaha's assistant coach spoke up again.

boom!

It seems they're determined to go against him.

After getting past Chen Tao, Deng Kai suddenly chose to pass the ball.

Pass straight down the right flank.

Marcelino, the right winger for Sporting Lisbon who had just been with Zhao Peng, suddenly surged behind the entire defensive line.

One-on-one!

Marcelino cut inside without the ball and successfully broke through on goal from outside the penalty area!

If Deng Kai's through ball had been a little slower, he would have been offside.

But Deng Kai is never slow.

boom!

Marcelino feinted twice, deceiving Zeng Cheng's center of gravity, and then unleashed a powerful shot that found the back of the net.

Two to zero!

"As I said before, Kay never misses a passing opportunity," Trigla said while clapping. "While he could have created a shooting opportunity with the ball just now, the opposing center-back and goalkeeper had plenty of time to react."

"The necessary condition for scoring a goal may seem to be a shot, but it's actually whether the ball can get past the goalkeeper. Deng Kai's opportunities are never about creating a shooting chance; every threatening pass he makes is aimed at scoring!"

Maxa watched Trigra's eloquent speech with great envy.

When will he be able to spout such foul language without getting beaten up?

Seventeenth minute.

After receiving a pass from Veloso, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled past several players on the wing.

But instead of passing the ball when he had a clear opportunity to cross, he dribbled directly into the penalty area from the side.

The coaches of the Wahaha team shook their heads and sighed, saying that Ronaldo was too awesome, unstoppable, and simply a young superstar!

But no one dared to criticize Ronaldo for missing the best passing opportunity.

boom!

Cristiano Ronaldo had practically worn out his skills with the ball, but finally, he got his chance and made a pass.

"Deng Kai is coming up! Ronaldo makes a cutback pass!"

"Feng Xiaoting has excellent defensive awareness; he seemed to anticipate a cutback pass even while Ronaldo was dribbling!"

"Feng Xiaoting immediately rushed in to intercept, Deng Kai had just received the ball and had no time to adjust, he..."

"A 'fried meatball'! Deng Kai has dribbled past Feng Xiaoting at the edge of the penalty area! Unbelievable! He controlled the ball and dribbled past him in one fluid motion!"

"Facing the goalkeeper directly! Zeng Cheng moved! Why did he move first?"

"A tap-in into an empty net! Deng Kai's goal came way too easily!"

Three to zero!

Even the players at Sporting Lisbon felt it was a bit outrageous.

They still highly recognize the strength of the Wahaha team players.

They thought they deserved to win, but they didn't expect it to be 3-0 in just over ten minutes.

It seems Kai is quite excited when he attacks his own people.

Since it's a friendly match, there aren't many rules.

Wahaha's assistant coach approached Zeng Cheng directly during Sporting Lisbon's celebrations and criticized his saves.

"What are you doing? They haven't even shot yet, and you've already moved!"

"Don't make wild guesses! Prematurely attempting a save is not allowed!"

"Go all out and pounce!"

Zeng Cheng looked dejected.

Trigra shook his head inwardly.

What's the difference between top goalkeepers?

Is it a treadmill pass system?

No.

Is it about firefighting ability?

No, that's not it, it's just basic skills.

It's the mysterious sixth sense!

It's a goalkeeper's instinct to make a save!

The kind of elusive, miraculous saves that can save a team are exactly what's needed most.

Every goalkeeper has this intuition in the early stages.

However, the coach of the Wahaha team forbade Zeng Cheng from making normal predictions. Isn't this stifling someone's growth?

Although he hasn't yet delved into the aspects of Chinese football that are considered "national football," even just in terms of youth training and team tactics, Trigra has already sensed the barrenness of that football wasteland.

He was secretly pleased about this.

Because he had already recommended Cristiano Ronaldo and Duncan to his good friend.

The other party was the head coach of the Portuguese national youth team. After receiving the videotape sent by Triguera, he said he would observe the two players.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Cristiano Ronaldo and Duncan are very likely to be called up to Portugal's U16 team for the European U16 Championship this summer after this season ends!

Trigra knew about the Chinese people's attachment to their ancestral nationality.

But Triguera believes that once Deng Kai joins the Portuguese youth team, it will be difficult for him to give up his Portuguese citizenship when he makes his final decision in the future.

Because no football prodigy, after experiencing the glory of playing for their national team, could possibly give it all up...

……

The halftime whistle blew.

The Wahaha team players walked silently into the player tunnel.

Four to zero.

They lost without any remorse.

This Sporting Lisbon team is stronger than any of the youth teams they've faced on this European tour.

But what made them even more desperate than the score was the individual statistics of Sporting Lisbon's midfield maestro, Duncan.

One steal, two interceptions, two assists, one goal, and two fouls drawn.

Deng Kai touched the ball a total of 47 times in the first half.

Thirty-one passes, twenty-six successful, a success rate of 83% is really not high.

But this includes seven threatening passes!

In addition, he made six long passes that did not directly threaten the goal, all of which were successful.

He completely dominated the game.

His dominance was even stronger than that of Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored two goals.

The Wahaha team players found it hard to believe that this was a player of Chinese descent.

You can be amazing.

But as a person of Chinese descent, how can your football skills be so amazing!

During halftime, Deng Kai approached Trigra and Lin Tao directly and presented an idea in front of the Sports Weekly reporter's camera.

"I want to switch teams and try playing for a bit."

???

Lin Tao thought there was something wrong with his ears.

Should we switch teams?

And this kind of operation?

Trigra's pupils contracted as he understood Deng Kai's meaning, and he nodded, saying, "Isn't this quite interesting?"

The coaches then informed their respective players of the news.

Maxa was extremely puzzled by Deng Kai's actions.

Trigla whispered to Maxa, "As far as I know, several of the players in your team have recently had... chance encounters" with scouts from other teams.

"Your team's performance has given many people unrealistic expectations. Whether it's outsiders, your team's players, or their parents, they need to see the truth."

Maxa's face twitched, and he said with difficulty, "The truth is... our success... is because of Kai?"

Triguera nodded: "Of course! It's because of Kai! It's because of Ronaldo! What else could it be?"

"Others should think twice before jumping around! Sergio has good talent, and he can definitely have a better future outside of China."

"But the rest of this team... would only do worse if they went abroad, keeping them is for their own good."

"This was something I was supposed to do, but Kai did it for me. This child is really smart, Maxa, you..."

Maxa's heart was in his throat.

"If you follow Deng Kai and lead this team well, you will gain a lot. More than you can imagine, more than you can do." Trigra patted Maxa on the shoulder, then walked towards the stands.

Meanwhile, Maxa kept wiping the sweat from his brow.

The youth academy director of Portuguese club Braga approached Maxi during the winter break, wanting him to switch teams and coach Braga's U17 team. Maxi was very interested.

but now……

"Kids, let's play like this in the second half..." Maxa entered the locker room and laid out a tactic entirely of his own for the first time.

This will determine whether he goes to Braga to claim the throne or continues to assist Kai at Sporting Lisbon!
