Chapter 188: Chapter 187: Deng Kai’s Downfall (Please subscribe and spread the word to other fans)
So, when Serafim left the field, Trigella kindly patted his shoulder to encourage him, without any harsh criticism.
The seventy-ninth minute.
Deng Kai passed the ball to Flavio with a through pass.
With not much defensive pressure around him, Flavio took a shot at goal.
But the goalkeeper was in good form and palmed the football away.
Anderson leapt up for a header because the ball bounced high, and it would have been easy for him to send it over the crossbar or with not enough power if he had attempted a direct shot on goal.
"Over here!"
A voice came from behind Anderson.
Anderson simply flicked the ball with his head, sending it out.
Then he turned around to look.
Deng Kai was at the top of the box, drawing his bow, ready to take an aerial shot!
Whoosh!
It didn’t trigger the Flying Immortal Outside Heaven.
But it was enough.
Anderson had blocked the goalkeeper’s line of sight.
If the football was within the goal range, it was undoubtedly going in.
"Four to zero! Morelence are going wild today!"
"Deng Kai has scored in three consecutive games! He is a midfielder! And this match he has completed one goal and two assists!"
"This has a lot to do with him carrying the team on his own shoulders in the first half of the season. Without Ronaldo’s interference, Deng Kai has fully developed his attacking talent."
"This volley shot had a high technical level!"
Ronaldo: Interference, so it wasn’t me, the divine striker, who helped this mediocre midfielder to take off, but instead, I was holding him back??? Let him leave me and see how he does!
Deng Kai: I left, didn’t I? Leading in both goals and assists!
However, it wasn’t over yet.
As the saying goes, it is fitting to pursue the beaten foe with remaining courage, but one should not seek fame like a tyrant.
The offensive desire of the Morelence players was completely unleashed today.
The eighty-third minute.
Deng Kai and Alex cooperated continuously on the right flank, drawing the defensive players.
Bang!
Deng Kai switched the football with a powerful kick to the left flank.
Ronaldo received the ball and, after a feint and a pull, sped past the opponent.
Then, facing the central defender, he turned into the Bicycle Kick Youth, furiously pedaling, and the defender slipped and fell while he flicked the ball past him.
Bang!
Ronaldo seized the opportunity and shot at goal.
The football pierced the opponent’s net for the fifth time.
"GOAL! Five to zero! A hat-trick! Ronaldo has set another new record!"
"Previously, Ronaldo set the record for the youngest player to score in the Primeira Liga! But it was soon broken by his teammate Deng Kai."
"However, this time, the record Ronaldo has set for the youngest hat-trick in the Primeira Liga isn’t so easy to break."
"Let’s congratulate Ronaldo, his performance today was simply perfect!"
"Of course, thanks to Ronaldo’s goal, Deng Kai also achieved a record that will be equally difficult to break. That is, the youngest player to assist a hat-trick in the Primeira Liga! Today, with one goal and three assists, he’s even more dazzling than Ronaldo!"
Everyone thought that this might have been the highlight of the match.
But as the match entered stoppage time, the real headline of the day was born.
Perhaps attracted by Ronaldo’s stylish bicycle kick, Deng Kai finally tried to speed up the pace with an electric bicycle kick in front of Felimund’s penalty area.
Because the debuff effect of this skill was too powerful, Deng Kai didn’t dare to attempt it when the match was tense.
Today, with a comfortable lead in the score, hey, he was just playing around.
Immediately after, Deng Kai’s foot stepped on the football, and he fell in front of the opponent’s penalty area.
The entire stadium went silent because of this.
Even the central defenders from Felimund didn’t clear the ball right away when it rolled towards them.
Because such a mistake was too rare.
Especially for a "midfield maestro."
Can you believe Debruyne’s bicycle kick would crash?
Can you imagine Modric’s clumsy fall as he treads on the ball during a bicycle kick?
If the scoreboard hadn’t clearly shown that Deng Kai had scored a goal and provided three assists today, the Morlence fans who were watching Deng Kai play at home for the first time would surely think their team had rented a dud.
"Hahaha!" Ronaldo laughed uproariously at the side.
The rest of his teammates couldn’t hold it in either.
They even gave up defending.
Because their stomachs hurt from laughing.
And the fury of Felimund from being pummeled all game vanished into thin air with Deng Kai’s "fall of the century."
...
"Morlence Celebrates Triple Victory! One More Win to Escape the Relegation Zone!"
"Magic Coach Trigella, Magic Forward Ronaldo, ’Magic’ Midfielder Deng Kai!"
No, what do you mean by those quotation marks?
Favoritism?
"A Single Match Gives Birth to the Youngest Hat Trick and Assist Hat Trick in Primeira Liga History!"
"Sporting Lisbon’s Talent Explosion, an Envy of Many! Simon left just recently, Quaresma has already risen, Viana returns from injury to join the first team, and even younger academy players on loan in the Primeira Liga can perform brilliantly!"
"Primeira Liga’s Top Ten Goals of the Round, Ronaldo Claims Two, Deng Kai Appears Four Times!"
"Heart Condition is Ronaldo’s Final Shackle, the Recovered Ronaldo Becomes Primeira Liga’s Golden Left Winger!"
"Three Matches, Three Goals and Five Assists, How Did He Make the Whole Stadium Laugh?"
"Flop or Genius? Deng Kai Flips His Bicycle Kick, a Jaw-Dropping Sight! Could He Just Be a Stat-Padder?"
"Shock! Hathaway’s Young Boyfriend Wipes Out! Will Hathaway Continue Her Pursuit of Deng Kai?"
The related news quickly surged across all of Portugal!
It even spread to North America.
The Primeira Liga doesn’t even have a youth league that’s worth paying attention to.
But... Deng Kai is worth it.
And Deng Kai wiping out is even more worthwhile.
Portuguese football legend Eusebio commented, "It’s hard to make a mistake with a no-pressure bicycle kick, but Deng Kai’s performance was not because he’s bad, but because he altered the move. He wanted to be faster, which led to the mishap. I recommend he practice the basics more before trying these things. He’s a smart player, and I believe he won’t make the same error twice."
Barcelona star Figo also saw the video of Deng Kai wiping out: "It might be because they played for ninety minutes and everyone sweated a lot, which made the pitch wet. The ball could have become too slippery with the sweat... Or maybe the pitch wasn’t level, and there was an invisible bump there... Nevermind, I can’t make up any more excuses... Kai, you have a great vision and passing thought, but you really need to practice your fundamentals!"
Guardiola, who criticized Deng Kai only during national team matches and was otherwise his champion, said, "Deng Kai’s passing is angelic, and thankfully, he has the brain to handle such passes. But Deng Kai’s dribbling is devilish, fortunately, he only uses those lightning-struck bicycle moves when the team is far ahead."
Rivaldo, this year’s double winner of the Golden Ball and FIFA World Player of the Year, also commented on the matter, "Deng Kai’s talent is clear for all to see, but he does have a technical weakness that could limit his future development. At the very least, there isn’t a single player who cannot juggle the ball on Barcelona’s pitch—if there were, they’d be driven out by Barça!"
His words made a nine-year-old academy player named Blaizevit, a three-year-old toddler named Dembele, and a child named Dest all sneeze at the same time.
