Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Chapter 78 He's Grown Taller

"Don't be angry, these are all motivations for you to keep moving forward."

Deng Kai patted Veloso on the shoulder in the locker room, then looked at his own stats.

It had been almost three months since he last checked the data.

He maintained his training throughout these three months, even during the winter break.

Significant progress has been made.

The increase in technical attributes is not surprising, as Deng Kai's training volume is comparable to that of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo's training volume is the most extreme among Sporting Lisbon players.

Yes, it's the entire Sporting Lisbon team, not just the youth team.

To ensure that Duncan and Ronaldo do not overtrain, Triguera regularly invites the first team's fitness coach and team doctor to check on their physical condition. If any signs of exhaustion or injury are found, the high-intensity training is stopped immediately.

Furthermore, the physical attributes confirmed Deng Kai's previous conjecture.

Once his physical development catches up, even without starting specialized strength training, the rate at which his physical attributes (speed, explosiveness, footwork, etc.) increase will be quite remarkable.

This is all thanks to Ronaldo.

As expected of the "peerless genius" bonus, its growth in all aspects is very promising.

In particular, his height increased by a full five centimeters.

Although Deng Kai's current height limit is 1.65 meters, with the added advantage of being an unparalleled genius, he can grow to 1.65 meters faster and earlier.

The value of a 1.65-meter tall person at thirteen or fourteen is completely different from that at eighteen or nineteen.

In addition, I also gained six pounds.

This is without intentionally gaining weight to improve combat ability.

If Deng Kai takes advantage of the summer to further refine his physique and engage in strength training after the season ends, his physical abilities will undergo a dramatic transformation.

If his physical condition becomes a disadvantage again, it will have to wait until he is around seventeen or eighteen years old.

At that time, he was not far from completely solving the problem of his height and physical limitations.

……

"Okay, the young players from both sides are entering the field."

"Just earlier, the president of Sporting Lisbon made it clear that unless the first team uses the Alvalade Stadium and the U15 team has official matches, their home ground will not be the Alcochete training ground's 1,000-seat stadium, but the Alvalade Stadium!"

"This is the first club in all of European football to make such an arrangement."

"As a result, Sporting Lisbon's reputation in the youth academy world has surpassed that of Benfica and Porto, making them the 'Blue Bay' of Portugal!"

"Currently, only teams in the Dutch Eredivisie can claim to have a better youth training system than Sporting Lisbon."

"But don't worry, if Sporting Lisbon U15 can continue to advance in the UEFA Youth League, they will eventually meet Ajax in the Dutch Eredivisie."

"Then we'll know which country, Portugal or the Netherlands, has the stronger youth team!"

"Oh! Deng Kai walked to the sidelines and waved to the fans. He was holding a microphone; what was he going to say?"

On the sidelines, Deng Kai, holding a microphone, said, "Dear Sporting Lisbon fans, I've missed you all so much! Do you miss us?"

After speaking, he extended the microphone.

silence……

Fans were surprised that Deng Kai would pull this stunt.

This kid is trying to liven things up?

Cristiano Ronaldo was practically bursting with laughter standing next to him.

On the bench, a young player asked Wu Xudong, a player brought in during the winter transfer window, "I heard you're from Kai's hometown?"

Wu Xudong shook his head repeatedly: "No, we're not familiar with each other. Inner Mongolia is very far from Sichuan; in Europe, it's like the distance between Portugal and Germany."

The teammate nodded in understanding, saying it was indeed shameful to have a compatriot like that.

Benfica's Pereira, who had previously faced off against Ronaldo and was an old acquaintance of his, approached him and said, "Your friend doesn't seem very bright."

Cristiano Ronaldo glared at him: "Don't swear, that's your friend, isn't it!"

As the center who was disliked by everyone, Deng Kai decided to give the fans another chance.

"Caesar! Caesar! Caesar!"

He called out his title three times in a row.

Then he handed the microphone out again.

This time, the entire stadium acted without hesitation:

"Caesar! Caesar! Caesar!"

The fans were incredibly cooperative.

They have this tradition.

The initial shock was purely because Deng Kai's actions were so sudden. Without prior notice, Elva Hsiao wouldn't have received a response.

"Caesar! Caesar! Caesar!" Deng Kai shouted again.

"Caesar! Caesar! Caesar!" the fans chanted again.

The atmosphere instantly became lively.

Deng Kai was finally satisfied as he watched the "Actually I'm not Gomez" special effect activate two layers. He looked at the stands and said, "At least 20,000 of you were slacking off; you didn't shout my name."

"I'll allow you to remain silent, but I'll use a victory, goals and assists, to pry your mouths shut!"

Hahaha!

The fans in the stands smiled.

This child has become arrogant.

Everyone applauded.

Looking at Deng Kai, who was handling things with ease, Wu Xudong felt envious, but at the same time, he was also full of hope for his own future.

……

beep!

With a whistle, the competition officially began.

Both teams immediately got into the game.

Especially the Benfica players.

They haven't forgotten the humiliation they suffered last time.

Moreover, they saw Deng Kai's pre-match antics as an even greater disrespect to them.

With a formidable enemy at hand, you actually went to be part of the atmosphere-building team?

Do you really think steamed buns aren't a staple food?

In the sixth minute, Benfica's Amorim unleashed a long-range shot, creating the first threat.

However, Pilar was focused enough and saved the ball.

In the tenth minute, Ronaldo successfully dribbled past his opponent in the attacking third, then attempted a series of stepovers against the opposing center-back, but the ball was cleared by the defender.

Lisbon striker Lorenzo committed a foul, giving Benfica a free kick in their own half.

In the 13th minute, Benfica's corner kick was headed away by Sporting Lisbon's defensive midfielder Veloso.

The Benfica fans booed in response.

Veloso, being young, was absolutely furious.

You don't want me, but you won't even let me do well outside?

Grass!

In the 18th minute, Veloso made a crucial interception and then passed the ball to Deng Kai.

After receiving the ball, Deng Kai dodged Amorin's tackle with a frizzy ball and then dribbled forward.

Benfica's defensive midfielder Alexander knew that Duncan was going to pass the ball, and during his retreat, he kept blocking Duncan's passing lane to Ronaldo.

However, Deng Kai is quite fast with the ball, and if Alexander continues to retreat, Deng Kai could even bring the ball to the edge of the penalty area.

That's the area where you can fire directly from a distance.

Left with no other option, Alexander lunged at Deng Kai.

He knew that Deng Kai would pass the ball after he lunged forward, but he couldn't do anything about it; it was an open conspiracy.

boom!

really!

After drawing Alexander out, Deng Kai immediately made a through pass.

Cristiano Ronaldo had been watching Duncan's pass all along.

It started directly and crashed into Pereira.

Pereira pulled and dragged Ronaldo along.

But Ronaldo's acceleration was just too powerful; it was impossible to stop him.

boom!

Cristiano Ronaldo caught up with the ball, made a slight adjustment, and unleashed a powerful shot.
