Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

First of all, Veloso is definitely not overweight.

Moreover, in professional football, this weight-related reason is basically "unfounded," because a player's weight is very easy to control; you can make them as heavy as you want.

"Veloso can accept being expelled from the team, but he needs a formal reason, not this disrespectful excuse!" Trigra said indignantly. "Besides, his family has even been implicated after he was expelled."

"His father, a Portuguese international player, was suspended by the team despite being in perfect form and was forced to issue a public apology within the club!"

"Which son could bear to see his father endure such humiliation?"

"It was precisely because Deng Kai knew this that he led Veloso to the stands where the Benfica fans were after Veloso scored."

"He wasn't leading Veloso to do anything bad; on the contrary, he was teaching Veloso how to be a real man!"

A reporter from the Bora newspaper raised his hand in rebuttal: "So being a real man means telling the fans to 'fuck'?"

Trigra nodded: "Yeah, fuck it!"

The reporter from Bora turned pale, as if someone was cursing him.

Trigra repeated, "Fuck you! That's what a real man does—speak fucking to those who look down on you and don't respect you! Understand?"

"If you don't understand, I can say it again: Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you!"

……

There is no doubt that this press conference was an unprecedented success.

The conflicting accounts from both sides have kept the matter at a standstill.

Benfica's request for an additional suspension for Duncan has yet to be finalized.

Data shows that the combined viewership of all other matches in each round of the Portuguese U15 league does not match the popularity of Sporting Lisbon U15.

This is the only high-profile team in Portuguese youth football.

They also have to compete in the UEFA Youth League!

Just when everyone thought the matter was going to end there, Benfica captain and Portugal's national team right-back Antonio Veloso held a press conference with his son Miguel Veloso.

In front of the cameras, Antonio expressed his feelings for Benfica.

"It has been an honor to play for Benfica in the first half of my life! But..." Antonio changed the subject, "Even the most pleasant relationships have an end."

"Benfica is like my life."

"But my children and my family are more important to me than my own life!"

"My next decision may not be forgiven by Benfica fans, but I believe that no one in the world who has been a parent, a child, or has siblings will not understand me."

"I, Antonio Veloso, have officially submitted a transfer request to the club."

"In the upcoming matches, if the club needs me, I will still give my all for the team. But after this season, I will definitely leave Benfica. Definitely!"

"I can no longer play for a club that has humiliated, slandered, insulted, and maliciously retaliated against my son and family."

"Between my own career and my children, I chose the latter, and I will never regret it!"

In an instant, the front pages and headlines of major Portuguese media outlets were changed.

Breaking News! Benfica's captain requests to leave the team; the reason behind it is heartbreaking!

Antonio is a real man! A real father!

Antonio: Benfica, you can mess with me, but don't mess with my family!

Overweight? Humiliation in youth training report leads to the departure of a national team player!

"Well done, Antonio! Over 80% of fans support Antonio's decision to leave!"

Five Benfica first-team players have praised Antonio!

An unnamed Benfica first-team player said: "The club pays us wages, but we also want our families to be respected by the club. There are many clubs willing to offer us higher wages, and our families are one of the reasons we stayed!"

Boavista's sporting staff are in contact with Antonio's agent!

Porto expresses interest in Antonio!

Braga strongly supports Antonio and is willing to offer him a lucrative contract!

The rest of the Veloso family fully supports the decision of Antonio and his son, stating: "We are now Sporting Lisbon fans!"

Antonio, a father, broke with the club over his son, and the scene became quite heated.

Benfica's management never imagined things would develop this way.

This is no longer just a matter of expelling a youth academy player or punishing a first-team player.

This has damaged the foundation of their youth training.

This also practically sealed their fate in their quest for the Portuguese league title this season!

The team captain's public announcement of his departure half a season early is almost a devastating blow to the morale of a championship contender.

Some Benfica players, who were aiming to win the title, criticized Antonio as a result.

However, some people felt sorry for Antonio, arguing that everyone has children and no one wants their child to be kicked out and then labeled as "dry waste," "wet waste," or "overweight waste."

The atmosphere within Benfica has collapsed, with clashes and even bloodshed occurring during training matches.

Benfica's rising star Nuno Gomez has been taken to the hospital for treatment.

But the person he clashed with was not Antonio, but other players who disliked Gomez.

Because of Antonio's issues, many other conflicts within the team are also emerging.

In the aftermath, some have dubbed the conflict "a bloodbath sparked by Caesar's celebration."

After this incident, many parents start shaking their heads whenever Benfica's youth academy is mentioned.

Many parents who want their children to develop in football tend to send them to Sporting Lisbon's youth academy.

The problem of high-quality student recruitment that Sporting Lisbon had been struggling with for the past two years was solved with Deng Kai's throw.

Sporting Lisbon's management began to strongly support Triguera and Duncan, believing that Duncan was the team's "lucky charm".

Since he joined the team, the team's youth training program has received a lot of attention.

Now the higher-ups have no trouble finding buyers for Simão.

Didn't Barcelona say in the first half of the season that they wouldn't take anything over ten million euros?

Barcelona is now asking if 1,500 is acceptable.

Sporting Lisbon is still not entirely willing to accept this offer, as other buyers are also inquiring about Simão.

They were drawn in by Sporting Lisbon's U15 matches and news, but they couldn't wait for Ronaldo and Duncan to develop. After arriving, they could only watch Simão, Quaresma, and others.

These players, carefully selected and promoted by Sporting Lisbon, naturally have their advantages; one look at them and you'll likely be captivated.

February nd.

Sporting Lisbon U15 will play away against Marítimo.

Sporting Lisbon had a tough time in this match due to Deng Kai's suspension after receiving a red card.

Ultimately, thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo's last-minute winner in the 83rd minute, they narrowly defeated their opponent 1-0, continuing their winning streak.

February 9th.

Sporting Lisbon continues their away game against Liana.

In the first half, Deng Kai, returning from injury, provided an assist for Ronaldo, giving the team a 1-0 lead.

In the second half, Liana briefly equalized the score.

However, Wu Xudong, the young Chinese player who had been given a series of starting opportunities due to the team's right-back Duarte's injury, repaid Marksa by providing a brilliant assist in the final moments.

Deng Kai scored the winning goal.

Chinese people shine in Portugal via video link.

The team won 2-1, securing another victory.

February 15th.

Sporting Lisbon returns home to face Istol.

Marcelino breaks his goal drought.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, bringing his league goal tally to 36 this season!

Unrivaled in U15!

Their next match will be in Groningen, Netherlands, at the Österpark Stadium, the home ground of FC Groningen, for their UEFA Youth League Round of 16 final!

This is also Groningen's reward for finishing first in the group stage – home advantage.

Given that the UEFA Youth League is a single-elimination tournament, this is very advantageous for Groningen.

In addition, this team has Arjen Robben, a highly regarded and talented winger in Dutch football.

Most fans believe that Sporting Lisbon is going to suffer a setback this time.
