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

Chapter 59
The youth training battle between Sporting Lisbon and Benfica is raging.

But both have other troubles, too.

Benfica is under pressure from the first team to compete for the title.

They bit Porto tightly, but the initiative is on Porto's side.

Sporting Lisbon U15 ushered in the final match of the group stage in the Youth Champions League against Torino U15.

Sporting Lisbon scored six points and Torino scored seven points. Torino also took the initiative.

The Turin team was once a well-deserved giant in Serie A.

However, after the Supega air crash, he has not been able to recover, and opened the era of sinking solo travel.

Three years ago, the Turin team was relegated in the 95-96 season and fell into Serie B.

This year, they are quite on the mend.

Coupled with the rise of the youth team, Turin shows signs of recovery.

Before that, Sporting Lisbon, the jewel in the front, lent the stadium of the first team to the youth team to play. The youth team defeated Feyenoord, the strongest in the group, and sold so many tickets, gaining both fame and fortune.

The Turin high-level also moved their minds.

They applied to UEFA before the game and changed the stadium to the Munnar Stadium, the home of their first team with a capacity of nearly 3 people.

UEFA applauds this extra-standard behavior.

This year's Youth Champions League can be said to be an unprecedented success, and the participating teams' support for the competition is beyond imagination.

Although the group stage has not been played yet, UEFA has confirmed that it will continue to run the Youth Champions League.

And many giants have also approached UEFA to discuss, hoping to obtain the qualification for the Youth Champions League.

……

Munnar Stadium.

The referee blew the half-time whistle.

In the first half of the game, both sides performed very well.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Quagliarella each had one or two good plays, but neither was able to rewrite the score.

"If the game ends in this state, then Sporting Lisbon will say goodbye to the knockout round!"

"From the perspective of hard power, Sporting Lisbon is slightly weaker than Torino, but the gap is not big."

"Chris and Quagliarella both have the ability to decide the outcome."

"But apart from them, there is another person who can do it, which is why more people are optimistic about Sporting Lisbon in this game."

"Not only because of their hot state recently, but also because of their core midfielder Deng Kai!"

"This player is called Football Caesar by Lisbon fans. He scored three goals and two assists in two European games."

"However, Deng Kai played quite mediocre in this game. He was completely frozen by the Turin midfielder."

That's right.

Deng Kai was frozen.

And the reason is... he's a typical right-footed player.

At the press conference before the game, the coaches of Turin expressed their analysis of Deng Kai in front of the media: "We admit that Deng Kai is an excellent midfielder. His passing is fast and aggressive, but It works great and can tear through any line of defense with ease."

"But we counted all his dangerous passes in the league and in Europe. More than 90.00% of them were passed with the right foot!"

"We'll limit his right-footed passes and that will be the key to winning the game!"

Facts have proved that the analysis of the Turin coaching staff is correct.

Throughout the first half, Deng Kai only sent a threatening pass, which was a through pass to the right winger Marcelino on the same side.

Push with right foot.

In the past, he was best at and the most threatening pass from the right to the ball directly over the top to send the football to the center or even the left, but he never happened even once.

This is why Ronaldo's performance in the first half was slightly inferior to Quagliarella's.

He could only receive a pass from the left-back Araujo behind him, and then dribble to challenge the Turin defender.

Instead of using Deng Kai's pass to maximize his off-ball running and off-ball speed.

After 15 minutes, the second half of the game continued.

Deng Kai is in the position, trying to get closer to the middle.

But it doesn't make much sense. The Turin team focused on defending Deng Kai's right-footed left pass.

As for Deng Kai's right foot to plug the ball to the right, the Torino team didn't care.

Because Marcelino on the right of Sporting Lisbon is far less threatening than Chris on the left.

He has good bottoming ability, but poor crossing ability.

The ability to cut inside and hit the goal is even worse.

Even if he can pass, Lorenzo in the center of Sporting Lisbon is not a big center, but a poacher who wins by speed and running position.

Ronaldo has already proved in the last game that he is not necessarily stronger as a center forward than he is as a left winger, but he must be stronger than Lorenzo.

No.608 minutes, Deng Kai raised his right foot after receiving the ball.

The defender stood on the left side of Deng Kai to prevent Deng Kai from making a long pass.

boom!
Deng Kai slammed the football to the left.

Then chase the football yourself.

Fake Fax!

"Oh! Deng Kai moves laterally with the ball. He yearns to go in the middle, so he seems to have more options for passing the ball."

"But when the pass to the left is blocked, walking like this makes the coverage of the pass smaller."

"Sure enough, Turin's supplementary defenders came over and defended Deng Kai's right-footed left pass."

"Chris moved, he was followed, and the passing line between him and Deng Kai was cut off by the Torino players."

"Hey, Marcelino is good at running! He accelerated on the right side, and he was in a big space. It would be great if Deng Kai could pass the football at this time."

"But it's difficult. From God's perspective, we can see Marcelino, but Deng Kai's position may not be able to see it. Even if he sees it, his current body posture cannot give the football to the right. This is It is the limitation of right-footed players passing the ball, unless Deng Kai can pass the ball outside the instep."

"Like Quaresma, Sporting's U17 star, his outer instep can handle that."

boom!
Deng Kai picked a pass with the outside of his foot, and the football flew around the defender and flew to the right.

The commentator was dumbfounded.

This……

Deng Kai will be out of the instep!

The coach of the Turin team was also stunned.

This is not in the intelligence.

In so many games in the past, Deng Kai has never used the outside instep to send a key pass, or even used the outside instep.

But now this pass, the strength, speed, arc, and accuracy are all considered good.

"Marcelino cuts inside without the ball...Single-handed! This pass from the outside instep directly creates a single-handed ball...Shot... Oops! Marcelino kicked so straight, it was almost facing The goalkeeper kicked in the chest, how could he choose this way?"

"A random low shot is better than this result."

"Marcelino's shots are always in this way without thinking. With Chris's involvement, he has actually got quite a few offensive opportunities this season, almost half of Chris's. But in terms of the number of goals, he is even worse than Chris's. Not even a quarter!"

"What a waste of Deng Kai's exquisite instep pass!"
