Chapter 226: Chapter 225: Healing a Heart Disease Requires Heart Medicine (Please Reward)
"No, it’s very important," Deng Kai countered Jiang Yunzhu’s viewpoint, "Every Championship is important to me!"
Ronaldo felt touched for a moment.
Sure enough, only Kai cares about my feelings.
Every Championship is important to me, Ronaldo! I swear I won’t miss out on any Championship Trophy!
Deng Kai certainly hadn’t forgotten his "Champion Plunderer Medal," with three Championships last season and already one U17 league title this season, Deng Kai’s personal abilities had risen by twelve percent!
He had many stats that, after increases, had reached the individual stat cap—seventy-five!
Right now, he was extremely thirsty for Championships and didn’t have the time to think about what’s C or Ronaldo.
Ronaldo: ???
...
May 23rd.
The second Youth Champions League and the European Youth U19 League concludes successfully.
This year’s Youth Champions League Trophy went to West Ham United U19 from the Premier League!
Joe Cole and Jermain Defoe scored goals in succession, sharing the title of the event’s best players.
Joining them in the best lineup was the team’s center-back Anton Ferdinand.
Of course, when bringing up Anton Ferdinand, the media had to inquire about his brother Rio Ferdinand’s matters.
This center-back super talent currently playing for West Ham United’s first team had caught the attention of many top clubs.
It is rumored that both Leeds United and Manchester United are interested in him, and his price has exceeded twenty-five million euros!
May 24th.
The Champions League final kicks off.
La Liga teams clinched the final spots, with Real Madrid squaring off against Valencia.
During the first half, Morientes chested the ball and scored, giving his team the lead.
In the second half, McManaman’s volley sealed another goal.
After that, ’The Lord of the Rings’ Raul sprinted solo and scored a brilliant goal to kill the game, sharing the Champions League top scorer title with ten goals alongside Barcelona’s Rivaldo.
After two years, Real Madrid lifted the Champions League Trophy again!
May 26th.
The last round of the Portuguese league kicks off officially, with all the major teams playing simultaneously, declining any tacit understanding match fixing.
Before the game, Deng Kai received a notification that "Your jumping has received a minor boost," but he didn’t pay much attention to this "distraction" from Ronaldo.
He wouldn’t design his game around jumping but would instead focus on the abilities he already possessed.
This was the clearest self-awareness.
In the ninth minute, Ronaldo’s shot flew over, but a noisy commotion arose from the stands.
Because neighboring Vizela had taken the lead, they had overtaken Gil Vicente and Moreirense on the real-time scoreboard, ranking second with fifty-one points.
In the twenty-first minute, Rio Ave broke through Moreirense’s goal first.
But then the assistant referee raised his flag.
It was a clear offside.
The score was still zero to zero.
However, the surrounding Rio Ave fans were once again stirring.
Gil Vicente had scored and taken the lead!
With this, they were tied with Vizela at fifty-one points, but they had the superior record and thus surpassed Moreirense and Vizela to become the new prime candidates for the Portuguese league title.
Currently, Moreirense’s real-time score was fifty points, ranking fourth in the league.
Rio Ave’s real-time score was fifty-two, ranking first in the league.
In the thirty-fifth minute, Deng Kai’s lofted through ball allowed Ronaldo to cut in off the ball and score.
But the main referee indicated that Ronaldo had collided with the goalkeeper first.
Indeed, it was the case.
Deng Kai’s lob pass was a bit too deep, entering the opposing goalkeeper’s control area.
Ronaldo collided with the opposing goalkeeper before he touched the ball.
However, this also gradually improved Moreirense’s performance.
In the fortieth minute.
Deng Kai received the ball from Macedo and cooperated with Alex on the right flank.
Alex broke to the baseline, drawing away the defenders.
Facing the defensive midfielder who came over to cover, Deng Kai performed a "deep-fried dough stick" move and started to cut inside.
With "Robben’s socks" in hand, Deng Kai’s inside cut from the left was extremely threatening.
He executed a nutmeg, separating himself and the ball, and successfully reached the edge of the penalty area on the right.
Facing the center back, Deng Kai performed continuous step-overs.
The movements were stiff, but the speed was incredibly fast.
Because if Deng Kai slowed down, the defensive midfielder from behind would catch up to him.
So he had to take a gamble.
The electric step-over...
Bang!
Deng Kai had accumulated good karma in the last game for this match, and the electric step-over didn’t result in a crash.
With one flick and one shot, Deng Kai’s movements flowed smoothly like drifting clouds and flowing water.
Adding the instep curve shot, the mediocre winger Schweinsteiger, long-range shots, and multiple other boosts, this shot curved out a huge arc.
Goalkeeper Rio Ave swore, he had never seen such high-quality curved shot.
Absolutely not!
Ding!
The football hit the junction of the crossbar and the post and ricocheted into the net.
A hundred percent unstoppable goal!
"GOAL! Deng Kai! It’s still Deng Kai!"
"Deng Kai didn’t waste his nineteen wasted shots in the last match! Everything was a preparation for today’s game!"
"One to zero! Morientes takes the lead with a goal!"
"If the game ends with this score, then they will be the champions of the 1999-2000 Portuguese Primeira Liga!"
"Deng Kai really did it, just as he said before, if they could fight for the championship, why bother with promotion?"
"This way, no matter how many goals Gil Vicente or Vizela win by, it’s useless. Rio Ave will be the second team to enter the Portuguese Super League from the Primeira Liga."
During halftime, Trigella emphasized the players’ defensive issues and indicated that he would substitute Flavio with a midfielder or defender at the right time, telling Flavio not to spare his energy.
This was no different from their arrangements in previous matches.
But this match was too important.
So important that the players only remembered the defense.
And forgot the other things Trigella said.
As soon as the second half began, Morientes’ form was off.
When Deng Kai was organizing the attack in midfield, he suddenly felt isolated.
Even if he called Emerson up, after Emerson made a pass, he still subconsciously retreated.
Flavio even fell back to become a midfield interceptor, but his position was on the right wing.
Deng Kai and C Ronaldo were all too familiar with this situation.
Weren’t their first few matches after joining Morientes just like this?
This was an illness, a weakness disease.
At that time, Trigella and Deng Kai chose to treat it with a winning streak, and it worked well, fostering a strong mentality within the team.
But today’s match was not just important, it was a championship match!
And it was a super match that combined the quest for the championship with promotion.
Morientes had won before.
But Morientes had never won any trophy!
Not all of Morientes’ players had never won a championship, but apart from youth team achievements, none of them had won a championship as a starter or key substitute.
It was all laid-back victories, and there were only two or three of them. Many had never tasted the flavor of being champions.
Weakness needed victory to cure.
The sickness of no crowns, needed a championship to heal.
That’s the importance of the strong gene and the championship gene.
But this team didn’t have it.
