Chapter 114: Chapter 113: The Whole Team Siu With Me
His spinning action infuriated the Atletico players.
Gabi slid in with a fierce tackle right away.
As soon as Deng Kai turned around, he saw what was happening, he immediately pulled to the side, then spun like a top to dodge it.
And just like that, opportunity arose!
Deng Kai advanced the ball.
The Atletico centre-back had no choice but to close the gap left by Gabi.
Deng Kai was about to deliver a through pass to Ronaldo.
Bang!
All of a sudden, he lost balance and flew backwards, crashing heavily to the ground.
It was Gabi!
The angry Gabi, feeling disrespected by Deng Kai, chased after him when his first attempt to tackle was evaded and executed a slide tackle from behind!
"Iron-blooded" is a quality that can burst forth tremendous energy in a player.
Even if you’re an average player, once the iron-blooded spirit within is ignited, you can contend with excellent players, especially in defense and combat.
But... this emotion also has a significant downside, what’s colloquially known as getting carried away.
The minds of iron-blooded warriors often aren’t very clear, especially those who fight on sheer passion.
While their defensive capabilities are enhanced, they also bear the consequences of lacking rational thought.
Pepe, Ramos, Diego Costa... most players known for their iron-blooded nature, whether attackers or defenders, commit lots of fouls and receive plenty of cards.
There are also many infamous incidents related to this.
Even seasoned players are prone to this.
Young players who are fourteen or fifteen years old are naturally hot-blooded, so it’s quite normal for them to lose control on the pitch after their coach has sparked their iron-blooded fighting spirit.
Gabi lost control!
Tweet!
The referee blew the whistle immediately.
But it was no use.
Lisbon’s players swiftly charged to where Deng Kai was.
"Go to hell!" Ronaldo rushed forward and pushed the rising Gabi over, then pounced on him.
"F*ck!" On Atletico’s side, center-back Mario and others outnumbered them, flipping Ronaldo over.
Then, players from Lisbon also arrived at the scene, and players from both sides engaged in a brawl.
The UEFA executives in the stands were speechless.
A match with such high attention, and you all start fighting?
With the entry of both teams’ coaching staff and security, the conflict finally, albeit reluctantly, died down.
Gabi received a straight red card and was sent off the field.
Mario, Alvarado, and three other Atletico players received yellow cards.
On Lisbon’s side, Ronaldo, Wu Xudong, Semedo, and three other players were booked with yellow cards.
Fortunately, no red cards were issued.
Lisbon was awarded an excellently positioned free kick.
The camera focused on Deng Kai, who was being examined by the team doctor.
He moved his left foot; the Achilles tendon was a bit painful, but it seemed to be just a blunt injury.
After indicating that he was alright, Deng Kai walked over to the football.
Because the stand near them was filled with Atletico fans, booing instantly filled the entire venue.
The Atletico fans hurled curse words at Deng Kai.
"You flopping bastard!"
"Just keep spinning around, you look like a little swan dancing ballet!"
"If you keep playing like this, one day your legs will get broken!"
"Trash! At such a young age you’re so malicious, deliberately getting Gabi sent off, you make me sick!"
"You’re such a coward! You just lay on the ground during the fight, and now you’re suddenly fine? A medical miracle?"
"Shameful guy! Diving and conning a red card!"
Don’t ask why Atletico fans are so blatantly lying.
Because all clubs have many such fans.
Some are genuinely blind, some believe their team can do no wrong, and some know they must treat Deng Kai this way to affect his performance.
The third type is even more despicable to outsiders but is also more worthy of respect.
They’re targeting Deng Kai because after he exchanged a few words with Ronaldo, Ronaldo moved aside.
This free kick, Deng Kai is going to take.
"Oh! It’s quite rare to see Deng Kai actively asking to take this free kick."
"Lisbon’s U15’s top free kick taker is Ronaldo, and his shots are pretty good."
"As for Deng Kai, his shooting is much more variable. Although he has scored many spectacular goals, they come with just as many missed attempts, cough cough... we’re talking about in football, not aviation."
"He became the team’s first-choice penalty taker primarily because of his solid mentality, not because his shooting technique is particularly exceptional."
"Moreover, Deng Kai has just been tackled down; the back of his left sock is torn by Gabi’s studs, which might affect his shot to some extent."
"Of course, I understand why he’s stepping up to take this free kick."
"Faced with on-field violence, we can choose to hit back hard, or we can choose to speak with football. I favor the latter. Because everyone can fight, but not everyone can perform well on the pitch and respond appropriately."
Upon reminder from the UEFA staff, the commentators made an effort to direct the discussion to football and professional ethics, guiding the young audience to solve problems through football, not violence.
Deng Kai stood in front of the free kick, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.
He stared intently at the top corner of the goal, expressionless.
When the camera panned to him, no one could deny it, Deng Kai looked seriously cool!
If you replaced his black hair with blonde, he could easily be the next Beckham. It wasn’t hard to imagine what kind of free kick Deng Kai might choose to execute.
A banana kick? Or a violently aesthetic one?
A whistle blew.
Deng Kai started his run-up.
Bang!
Deng Kai struck the ball fiercely.
The Atletico wall leapt into the air.
And then the football... flew under their feet.
Mario in the wall was left dumbfounded.
Banana what now?!
You put on such a serious face, and this is what you come up with?
A Ground Cutter?
How can you be so shameless?
There’s a hierarchy of disdain among free kicks.
Power shots are not as classy as curved ones.
The higher the curve and the longer the arc, the more beautiful the shot is considered.
But a Ground Cutter... Does that even count as a free kick?
Whizz!
The football shot through the wall unobstructed.
The Atletico goalkeeper, frozen as if turned to wood, could only watch the ball hit the net.
"GOAL! Three to nil! Deng Kai has killed the game!"
"Down by one man, down by three goals, Atletico’s UEFA Youth League is over!"
"Deng Kai responds to the Atletico fans’ curses with a clever Ground Cutter free kick!"
"A brace for Deng Kai! He has not been phased by Gabi’s tackle from behind!"
"Deng Kai is calling his teammates over, oh, even Pilar is going over to join in the celebration?"
"They all rushed to the corner flag area... jumped high, spun 180 degrees in midair, descending from the sky!"
"That’s Deng Kai’s signature celebration... siu!"
The next moment, eleven players slam onto the pitch in unison.
The few spectators familiar with that celebration shouted along: "siuuuuuuuuu!"
The effect on-site was incredibly stunning.
Atletico’s players hung their heads one by one, knowing they no longer had any hope of winning.
Tears welled up in Torres’s eyes as he gritted his teeth.
He did not resent Gabi’s impulsiveness.
Rather, he despised himself for not being at his best in the game.
He was sure, he was definitely stronger than that Ronaldo!
Time passed.
In the end, when three whistles sounded.
Deng Kai, in control of the ball, casually flicked it up and kicked it into the stands.
Fans of Real Madrid and Manchester United jostled to catch the football.
Bayern’s fans prepared to leave indifferently, not in the mood to watch the upcoming award ceremony.
After all, they didn’t like Deng Kai.
The guy had said Manchester United would be the ultimate winners of this year’s Champions League, and he also said he was going to show United how to win the title in this game.
And now he’d really lifted the UEFA Youth League trophy.
Even from a superstitious standpoint, Bayern fans could have already regarded Deng Kai as their nemesis.
What about the Atletico fans?
When the whole Lisbon team did their siu, the Atletico fans had already started leaving en masse.
