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

The youth training dispute between Sporting Lisbon and Benfica is heated.

But both also have other troubles.

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

They are clinging to Porto, but the initiative lies with Porto.

Sporting Lisbon U15 faced off against Torino U15 in the final group match of the UEFA Youth League.

Sporting Lisbon has six points and Torino has seven points. Turin also takes the initiative.

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

But after the Superga plane crash, he was never able to catch his breath, and the solo era of decline began.

Three years ago, the Turin team was relegated in the 1995-96 season and fell into Serie B.

This year, they are quite likely to win the championship.

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

Previously, Sporting Lisbon had taken the lead and lent the first team's stadium to the youth team to play football. The youth team defeated Feyenoord, the strongest team in the group, and sold so many tickets, gaining both fame and fortune.

Turin's top management also took action.

They applied to UEFA before the game to change the stadium to the Munnar Stadium, the home of their first team, which has a capacity of nearly 30,000 people.

UEFA deeply applauds this excessive behavior.

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

Although the group stage has not been completed yet, UEFA has determined that the UEFA Youth League will continue.

Many wealthy clubs have also approached UEFA for discussions, hoping to qualify for the UEFA Youth League.

…

Munnar Stadium.

The referee blew the half-time whistle.

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

Cristiano Ronaldo and Quagliarella each made one or two good performances, but they were unable to change the score.

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

"In terms of hard power, Sporting Lisbon is slightly weaker than Turin, but the gap is not big."

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

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

"Not only because of their recent hot form, but also because of their core midfielder Deng Kai!"

"This player is called the Football Caesar by Lisbon fans. In his two European games, he scored three goals and two assists."

"However, Deng Kai's performance in this game was quite average. He was completely frozen by Turin's midfield."

That's right.

Deng Kai was frozen.

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

At the pre-match press conference, the Turin coach told the media their analysis of Deng Kai: "We admit that Deng Kai is an excellent midfielder. His passing is fast and aggressive, but

The effect is excellent and can easily tear through any line of defense."

"But we counted all of his threatening passes in the league and European games. More than 94 percent of them were passed with his right foot!"

"We will limit his right-footed passing, which will be the key to us winning the game!"

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

Throughout the first half, Deng Kai only sent one threatening pass, and it was a through ball from right winger Marcelino on the same side.

Push pass with right foot.

In the past, he was best at taking the ball from the right and directing it directly over the top to the center or even the left, but this has never happened even once.

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

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

Instead, he cannot use Deng Kai's passing to maximize his off-ball running and off-ball speed.

Fifteen minutes later, the second half of the game continued.

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

But it doesn't mean much. The Turin team focuses on guarding against Deng Kai's right-footed left pass.

As for Deng Kai passing the ball to the right with his right foot, the Turin team ignored it.

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

His ability to reach down is good, but his passing ability is not good.

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

Even if he can pass the ball, Lourenço in the middle of Sporting Lisbon is not a big center, but a poacher who relies on speed and movement to win.

Cristiano Ronaldo has proven in the last game that he may not be better as a center than he is as a left winger, but he must be better than Lorenzo.

In the 68th minute, 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 directly knocked the football to the left.

Then pursue football on your own.

Fake fax breaks out!

"Oh! Deng Kai moves laterally with the ball. He wants to go to the middle. This way he seems to be more selective in passing the ball."

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

"Sure enough, when Turin's defender came over, he still defended Deng Kai's right-footed left pass."

"Chris made a move, he was followed, and the passing line between him and Deng Kai was cut off by a Turin player."

"Hey, Marcelino has great movement! He is accelerating on the right wing, and he is in a big gap. It would be great if Deng Kai can pass the football at this time."

"But this is difficult. From a God's perspective, we can see Marcelino, but Deng Kai's position may not be visible. Even if we can see it, his current body posture cannot give the football to the right side. This

That’s the limitation of right-footed players’ passing, unless Deng Kai can pass the ball with the outside of his foot.”

"Just like Quaresma, the star player of Sporting Lisbon's U17s, his outer instep can cope with this situation."

boom!

Deng Kai made a pass with the instep of his outside foot, and the football flew around the defensive player and flew to the right.

The commentator was stunned.

this……

Deng Kai shows his instep!

The coach of the Turin team was also stunned.

This is not found in the information.

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 the strength, speed, arc, and accuracy of this pass are all pretty good.

"Marcelino cuts inside without the ball...single shot! This instep pass directly creates a single shot...shot... Oops! Marcelino's kick is so right, it's almost directed at him.

The goalkeeper was kicked in the chest, how could he make such a choice?"

"A low kick would be better than this result."

"Marcelino's shots are always so mindless. With Chris's involvement, he has actually had quite a few offensive opportunities this season, almost half as many as Chris's. But in terms of goals, he has even more goals than Chris's.

Not even a quarter!”

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