Chapter 460: Chapter 459: The Strongest Person is About to Be in the Formation
"If I had to pick one Premier League team to break Manchester United’s monopoly of three consecutive Premier League titles this year, then I think it’s Arsenal."
The journalist didn’t expect Deng Kai to hold Arsenal in such high regard, and for a moment, they couldn’t find a more pointed topic.
Instead, it was a reporter who was clearly Asian who interviewed Deng Kai, "What do you think of Inamoto Junichi’s performance in this game?"
Deng Kai was taken aback, "Huh? Was that player on the field?"
The Japanese reporter’s face was a picture.
In fact, Deng Kai, of course, knew Inamoto Junichi, who deliberately dragged out the game time when he was substituted on at the last moment.
Deng Kai had a habit of sticking to facts.
During the match, he remained rational and didn’t hold a grudge against Arsenal.
But after the match, of course, he could express his dissatisfaction with their actions.
Similarly, he would allow the media to criticize them if his own team resorted to time-wasting tactics.
He was always one to avoid double standards.
However... he wouldn’t allow the opposition a chance to equalize after using time-wasting tactics.
If you were given an opportunity and didn’t take it, you can’t blame others for criticizing you afterward when your mentality collapses, right... Wenger?
Wenger, who was passing by Deng Kai, walked away quickly, repeatedly muttering "Damn it!" to himself.
He had intended to explain the pricing issue with Arsenal’s bid to Deng Kai.
What he meant was, "For Ronaldo and Deng Kai, twenty million each, it would be better to bring them both over together, as one plus one is greater than two," but the boss misunderstood and made it a twenty million package deal, reducing too many key points.
Sigh... Maybe it’s just fate.
But no matter, the strongest one is already among us.
The central midfielder from Barcelona’s youth team is in no way inferior to Deng Kai, he’s even stronger in some aspects.
Since they were ready to take a chance on Deng Kai, a young talent born in 1985.
Then why not go further and buy a younger one who developed earlier and has more promising prospects?
vs 1985.
1.78 m vs 1.78 m.
kg vs 68 kg.
Barcelona’s youth system vs Sporting Lisbon’s youth system.
Spaniard vs Asian.
Middle-class family vs common family.
Football fan family vs farmer’s family.
Two or three million euros vs twenty or thirty million euros!
Francesc Fabregas Soler vs Deng Kai!
The former is a better choice in every aspect, isn’t it?
This is Wenger’s economically sensible option!
Of course, another reason for Wenger’s bad mood was that...
For Arsenal, who aspire to be in the top eight of the Champions League, having only four points after three rounds of matches and not having established a clear advantage is, in itself, a failure.
The Japanese journalist was a little unwilling to give up on Deng Kai’s dismissive attitude towards Inamoto Junichi and continued to press, "You’re joking, Deng Kai-san, aren’t you? Why don’t you think about it again?"
Deng Kai had a sudden realization, "Oh, you mean Inamoto Junichi? That’s the guy who..."
The Japanese journalist beamed with joy, all ears.
Deng Kai: "Is he the Arsenal substitute midfielder who Kaka breezed past in less than a second?"
The Japanese journalist died.
...
Record Report: "Juventus and Barcelona draw 0-0, Group C becomes the tightest group in the qualifiers! Four teams tied with four points, hard to differentiate!"
Bola newspaper: "Sporting Lisbon is fourth in the group, Champions League elimination is just a matter of time! Porto wins 1-0 against their rival, just half a step away from the European League quarter-finals!"
Sky Sports: "Portugal’s young storm refuses to be defeated, Sporting Lisbon dramatically draws with Arsenal, thirteen rounds unbeaten!"
The Times: "Juventus, Arsenal, and Sporting Lisbon are strong candidates for the national league championship in their respective countries, showing significant strength, more likely to advance in European competitions. Barcelona is likely to miss out on the Spanish league championship this season, proving their poor form and an increased chance of stumbling in Europe!"
Kicker: "Henry scores eight goals to top the Champions League scorers’ list, with Ronaldo and Van Nistelrooy tied for the runner-up spot with seven goals!"
The Sun Newspaper: "Important information revealed behind One Star, Six Arrows! Deng Kai is skilled at handling the artillery, able to control six targets at once, Hathaway monopolizing the field is purely wasteful! It’s time for the English roses to bring Deng Kai to the Premier League!"
International media was abuzz.
Domestic media and fans also celebrated on "Understanding Football Emperor."
Fans praised young master Kai to the sky.
Next was Wu Genghis Khan.
Then Kaka, who brutalized the Japanese players.
But a newly registered account named "Old Kai Picker" became a rare anti-Kai voice on Understanding Football Emperor:
"Henry’s hat trick doesn’t count as a win, and your Kai deserves the highest score for passing and shooting, right? Then why didn’t your Kai get the Player of the Match award? Thankfully, the Champions League scorers are knowledgeable!"
"Ronaldo’s two assists were clearly overrated! Kaka’s dribble past Inamoto Junichi was just because the latter was careless! Ronaldinho’s world-class goal and that of Bogkamp are not on the same level!"
"Ibrahimovic is too arrogant, he has some skills, sure, but for someone so young to be mocking Wenger, his career won’t reach great heights."
"Wu Xudong’s speed is undeniable, but Maicon could do the same if he was on the field. Your so-called Wu Genghis Khan is nothing more than a substitute’s substitute in the eyes of European fans, just hyping himself up!"
"One Star, Six Arrows is just a lousy tactic, just kicking blindly. What else did Deng Kai do other than booting it up front? It was clearly his teammates who chased down the score, but now it’s turned into him being the commanding hero, haha!"
"Sporting Lisbon’s equalizer was more luck than skill! Arsenal had a third more threatening attacks than Sporting Lisbon, that’s the real demonstration of strength!"
"That fancy footwork is just irresponsible showing off, had it been missed, I’d like to see how Deng Kai would shift the blame! With that kind of attitude, he doesn’t deserve to play professional football!"
This "Old Kai Picker" focused on Deng Kai, not letting go of any players associated with him.
Each time after airing his views, he would go offline immediately, not engaging with other netizens, as if he didn’t read the comments.
Online, many people declared that if they could dox "Old Kai Picker", they would surely teach him a lesson.
Even some hacker experts tried to trace "Old Kai Picker"’s IP address, nearly putting themselves in jeopardy.
Because the address was traced back to the CCTV Broadcasting Building.
Now, who could this be?
"Hey He Wei, the game is about to start, have you prepared the materials?" Zhang Weiping walked into the broadcast hall.
He Wei quickly closed his laptop and scrambled, "Teacher Zhang, I have been ready for a while, and I have many questions to consult with you, like what exactly does this ’Princeton tactical system’ mean? I feel it’s quite profound..."
Zhang Weiping laughed, "You’ve hit the nail on the head, He Wei. You did an internship at the football commentary before, right? So let me explain it to you this way. This Princeton system is actually similar to Sporting Lisbon’s One Star, Six Arrows, you need an absolute core, which is Deng Kai..."
