Chapter 313: Chapter 312 Cruise Missile Launcher
Deng Kai: "But regarding the criticism against Inter Milan’s players, coaching staff, and management, I have something to say. The fans don’t understand, and they shouldn’t be clueless."
"If I profit within the rules without hurting anyone, am I wrong? If so, then it’s the rules that should be changed, not me."
"They can go complain to UEFA, but they shouldn’t bother a mere player like me."
"Rather than exerting this energy, they’d better study Sporting Lisbon a bit more before the game, instead of arrogantly even failing to name our team players."
"Instead of this energy, they might as well run an extra kilometer or two in the game, rather than looking for the least relevant reason when they were completely inferior in running distance, and we dominated them in both the scene and the goals over two games."
"Don’t think that just because we defeated Inter Milan, we are very strong. This Inter Milan team has many problems, and it’s normal for them to lose; they are far from as strong as everyone thinks they are."
"In the Coppa Italia, their opponent is Parma, right? They will undoubtedly lose; they’ll lose by at least three goals over two legs!"
"In half a month, they will face AC Milan, right? I’ll lay it on the line: in this condition, it’s normal for Inter Milan to lose by five goals, even six!"
"I hope Inter Milan can recognize their own strength. Maybe you have some of the world’s best players, but without a scientific arrangement, you are terribly weak!"
"I’ve only made mistakes that every player makes, no, it can’t be called a mistake. I’ve only done what every player does, the problem is not with me."
"One last time, we won not because I am too shameless, nor because Sporting Lisbon is too strong, but simply because Inter Milan is too weak!"
"Too weak!"
Deng Kai’s interview spread throughout Europe.
For almost half a day, all the major media were speechless.
Because they didn’t know how to react.
Criticize Deng Kai?
There were plenty of critics, did they count for something?
And most importantly... Deng Kai spoke what many football-savvy people truly believe, asking these editors to criticize Deng Kai, their few remaining consciences wouldn’t allow it.
After half a day, someone stood up and spoke out.
That was Juventus’s general manager Moggi in Serie A: "I appreciate Deng Kai. He is very brave, he has lifted the ugly veil of Inter Milan."
"For a long time, Inter Milan has used Ronaldo’s injury as an excuse to cover up their own shortcomings, or to mask the mistakes of the management and the incompetence of the coaching staff."
"Their lineup is very unhealthy, yet they deceive the fans, intending to compete with Juventus for the Serie A championship only in words. But do they deserve it? They don’t!"
"Every victory of Juventus is clean, Inter Milan’s defeats are definitely not because someone is manipulating Serie A, nor does anyone have the ability to control anything, I hope they improve their athletic performance and stop thinking about all that nonsense!"
Clearly, Moratti’s veiled criticism of Juventus was understood by Moggi.
Once Moggi opened fire, other Serie A powerhouses like AC Milan and Lazio followed suit.
If no one gives Moratti a bit of color to see at this time, he might really think the Holy Alliance is only lip service, cough cough...
Similarly, many players began to speak up for Deng Kai.
They were not aiming at Inter Milan; they simply spoke about the matter at hand.
Was Deng Kai wrong?
No, he wasn’t.
Inter Milan can’t accept it because they lost the game.
If they had won, they would forgive everything the opponent did.
Similarly, is Inter Milan strong?
They can’t be considered extremely strong, at least not as strong as most people expect them to be.
You could even say they have significant problems.
Zidane expressed his opinion after the recent Serie A match, "Inter Milan doesn’t have the strength to contend for the Serie A title this season, I’m saying it! This season’s champion will belong to Juventus."
Prince Pierro of Juventus, "Our biggest opponents are AC Milan, Roma, Lazio, and Parma, Inter Milan isn’t within our scope of consideration."
Wild Boar Dai Weisi, "Inter Milan has a lot of striking superstars, but playing against them isn’t difficult, I handle it with ease."
Inter Milan’s longed-for top left-back Zambrotta, "Getting knocked out continuously from the Champions League and Europa League clearly indicates Inter Milan has some problems. Their coaching staff doesn’t seem professional enough. Moratti should focus more on finding a head coach, or maybe he should come out and coach Inter Milan himself. He’s been too meddlesome in the assembly of Inter’s lineup, which isn’t a wise choice."
Super Pippo Yin Zhaji, "Leave professional matters to the professionals. It’s a bit too much for Inter Milan to blame their loss on a teenager under sixteen."
"I don’t think there was anything wrong with Deng Kai’s actions, many people have delayed like that before, he has a clear mind, he’s a decent midfielder!"
Juventus captain Conte, "Perhaps Deng Kai’s behavior seems disgusting, but if it were me, I would have made the same choice. Does nobody pay attention to why Deng Kai was able to delay for as long as six minutes?"
"It’s not easy at all; he isn’t tall, his dribbling skills are not top-notch, but others find it hard to get the football from him!"
The Juventus stars bombarded with criticism.
The issues with Inter Milan’s lineup and coaching staff have begun to be discussed by everyone.
Inter Milan’s fans are so angry they’re almost spitting blood.
Why has Inter Milan turned into a black hole for football stars, you Juventus really don’t know why?
Wasn’t it you who sent the ’Silver Fox’ Lippi, a man deeply marked by Juventus, to coach Inter Milan, wasting a host of talented players at Inter and consequently leading Inter to its current state?
Now that Lippi is back coaching at Juventus, Inter fans are simply shaking with anger.
Moratti has taken a tremendous tumble over this.
That’s also why Moratti would rather use a rubbish head coach than indiscriminately chase after unreliable famous ones.
He’s really been scared by Juventus!
The media and public opinion are swirling, constantly changing, but one thing actually hasn’t changed.
That is the public’s impression of Deng Kai.
After an overwhelming amount of negativity, without a special event, it’s hard to improve the impression of Deng Kai.
Moreover, even if Deng Kai does something that could change his image for the better, unless he becomes famous again, many fans’ last impression will still linger on this moment.
...
"Ding! You have obtained the ’Seedorf Brand Cruise Missile Launcher’ dropped by a football star!"
"Seedorf Brand Cruise Missile Launcher: The football world has many famous Heavy Cannons, and Seedorf is certainly one of them. His cruise missile-like long shots have left a deep impression in the world football. Your long shot accuracy receives a significant boost. Your long shot power receives a significant boost. Your long shots have a better chance of not dropping before hitting the net."
In the two matches against Inter Milan, other than Inter fans’ verbal abuse, Deng Kai also collected drops from two of Inter’s football stars.
Deng Kai has certainly made friends with Pirlo and Seedorf, receiving great items from both.
Pirlo’s vision and Seedorf’s long shots, those are their signature moves.
On February 26, round 23 of the Portuguese league.
