Football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

Chapter 1 Coach, I want to play football

"On June 1998, 6, the Portuguese Football Association held the Portuguese Diamond Generation Invitational Tournament in order to alleviate the pain of not being able to enter the World Cup for 1 consecutive years."

"It aims to discover domestic talented players aged 12-15, emulate the current Portuguese golden generation, and light up the future of Portuguese football."

"This event has received strong support from Portuguese clubs such as Sporting Lisbon, Porto, and Benfica."

"The organizer invited the Portuguese football legend "Black Panther" Eusebio and Luis Figo, the new king of Portugal, the core of Barcelona, ​​and one of the few foreign captains of Barcelona, ​​​​as youth promoters."

"They will form their respective teams and compete at the Albadella stadium in Lisbon, Portugal."

"As of now, the Figo team has invited Hugo Almeida, Bruno Leyva, Miguel Veloso, Ruben Amorim and other youth training talents from major teams."

"One of the most notable is Cristiano Ronaldo from Madeira! Three years ago he shined in the Golden Boy Cup in Portugal and won the top scorer of the tournament."

"It is reported that Chris will officially transfer to Sporting Lisbon this summer!"

"As for the Panthers, Sporting Lisbon youth training central defender Jose Fonte, Portimão youth training midfielder João Moutinho..."

Benfica first-team assistant coach Triguera shook his head while listening to the news on TV.

This game is destined to be a one-sided game.

People these days are too forgetful.

There are so few quality players who opted to join the Panthers.

The real geniuses are actually in the Figo team.

Because today's young people love Figo more.

Perhaps in more than ten years, new fans will not know that there is a legendary star named Eusebio.

Just like it's only been three years, who still remembers Deng Kai who beat Cristiano Ronaldo to win the Golden Boy Cup Best Player Award?

Beep beep!

Trigra's phone rang.

He put down the wine glass in his hand and pressed the hands-free button: "What's the matter, Pereira, is there a change in the day after tomorrow?"

Pereira is the head of player recruitment for Sporting Lisbon.

The day after tomorrow, they will attend the "Diamond Generation Invitational Tournament" with the chairman of the club and watch the game live.

However, it was not Pereira's voice that came on the phone.

It was a childish voice.

"Coach...I want to play football!"

There was silence on both ends of the phone.

In just an instant, Trigla knew who the person on the other end of the phone was.

Kay!
Deng Kai!

He finally called!
He is finally willing to continue playing football!

Three years ago, in order to celebrate the Portuguese national team's entry into the European Cup, the Portuguese Football Association held the Golden Boy Cup.

The best defensive player of the tournament, Jose Fonte, performed well, but in the semi-finals he encountered the Madeira Nationals youth training team led by the young Ronaldo, thus stopping the semi-finals.

After the game, Fonte was invited by the Lisbon youth team.

The top scorer of the tournament and the Golden Boot player of the tournament, Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice in the semi-finals and led the team to the final by himself, and also scored twice in the final.

After the game, Ronaldo received a grand invitation from Sporting Lisbon.

However, due to safety considerations, Ronaldo's parents hoped that he would grow up and live alone in Lisbon, so Ronaldo did not publicly join the Sporting Lisbon youth training program, but he used Sporting Lisbon's training program early on and was branded as Sporting Lisbon. .

However, Ronaldo's team was the runner-up at the time.

The champion belongs to another little-known small team.

In that game, Ronaldo scored twice.

But the opposing team's midfielder Deng Kaiyan overwhelmed the crowd and completed a hat-trick of assists, winning the game [-]-[-] and taking away the championship trophy!

Deng Kai also won the best player of the tournament with his outstanding performance.

After the game, the youth training departments of the three giants of the Portuguese Super League sent invitations to Deng Kai one after another.

But Deng Kai refused all of them.

Just when the Portuguese Super League teams were wondering, a reporter broke the news that Barcelona also sent Deng Kai an invitation for youth training.

Because on the day of the Golden Boy Cup final, the football legend "Dutch Flying Man" Cruyff, who was the head coach of Barcelona at the time, was on the scene.

He went there for Figo's transfer, but he didn't expect that this trip not only took Figo away from Sporting Lisbon, but also allowed him to find a good midfielder.

Cruyff asked Barcelona's youth training department to buy Deng Kai.

This is Barcelona!
Who can say no?

However, Deng Kai refused!

Once the news was reported, most of the football world knew about it.

It is rumored that this also became another rift between Cruyff and the Barcelona management, which indirectly led to Cruyff's dismissal a year later.

But now that Barcelona have issued invitations, no matter whether they have seen Deng Kai play or not, many clubs have sent out trial invitations to Deng Kai with the mentality of giving it a try.

These include Barcelona's deadly rival Real Madrid, Premier League duo Manchester United and Arsenal, Bundesliga king Bayern, Serie A's big three Juventus, Milan, Inter Milan...

But without exception, Deng Kai chose to refuse all of them.

Some people think that Deng Kai is up for grabs, but he played it off.

Because of the word "Kai" in his name, some media ridiculed Deng Kai as "Football Caesar".

The German football emperor Beckenbauer is also called Kaiser, but the media obviously did not mean that Deng Kai is the next Beckenbauer.

They are saying that Deng Kai is like Carlos Caesar, the biggest liar in Brazilian football in the 80s. He has no strong strength and talent at all, and is just a liar with a false name.

Carlos Caesar has been in the Brazilian football world for more than 20 years and has not played a game, but he has always been regarded as a superstar with super strength.

And Deng Kai rejected all the team's invitations and trial training, and made himself a peerless talent, which is really similar to Carlos Caesar.

"Really? Are you sure you want to play football? Instead of studying sports data analysis at the University of Lisbon?" Triguera is the only one who has been following Deng Kai's news for the past three years.

He is a person who admits death, he is more convinced than anyone else that Deng Kai will be kicked out, and even become a superstar.

He will never forget the conversation he had when he invited Deng Kai to join Sporting Lisbon for the last time.

"Son, I don't ask you to join Sporting Lisbon, but the Red Devils and Gunners, Huang Saren, Shuangmi and Juventus, there are so many giants, you should choose at least one! If you don't play football, it is your loss, and it is the loss of the world football team. The loss of the altar!"

"Coach, I will play, but not now. Now I have more important things to do!"

"Kai, think about it again, your technical characteristics must have a bright future in Barcelona! How about I contact Mr. Cruyff for you?"

"Thank you Mr. Triguera, but it's really not necessary. When I want to play football, I come to you first!"

After that, Deng Kai withdrew from his football school and returned to Portugal's 12-year compulsory education system.

In just three years, he completed all the contents of the 12-year compulsory education.

And in the 11th grade and 12th grade two exams with excellent results.

Finally, this year, he was admitted early this year by the sports data analysis major of the Faculty of Information and Technology of the University of Lisbon, the best university in Portugal.

But such a high-achieving student even said that he was going to play football.

This is as incomprehensible as Deng Kai's choice to study after his success in football three years ago.

Triguera can fully understand the feelings of the president of the University of Lisbon at this moment.

There has never been an empathy in this world.

There is only sympathy for each other.

The idea of ​​a genius will never be understood by normal people.
