Chapter 469: Chapter 468: The Enthusiastic Female Fans of Deng Kai that Made Ronaldo Jealous
"So, I advise Barcelona fans who wish to see a victory to not go to Camp Nou for the next match, otherwise what awaits you will be an insignificant yet extremely painful defeat!"
"You heard me!"
Deng Kai dictated his strategy, with words that inflamed the passions of the media present!
As this was a Primeira Liga event, naturally, most of the media present were from Portugal.
These reporters also very much hoped that Sporting Lisbon could make it into the Champions League quarterfinals.
In that case, everyone’s lives would get better as rising tides lift all boats.
"Caesar!"
"Caesar!"
"Caesar!"
The reporters on-site even began chanting Deng Kai’s title in unison.
Paços de Ferreira’s coach, who had finished his pre-game press conference early, also gave Deng Kai a round of applause.
So fervent.
Why even play the game?
Just give young Master Kai the three points already!
Mourinho: Good grief! Just play properly, and don’t get ahead of yourselves; we at Porto are counting on you to help us catch up in points!
In a corner, a "reporter" wearing a duckbill cap and large sunglasses seemed a bit stunned.
Next to her was the friend who had brought her along.
Friend: "Shocking, isn’t it?"
The woman nodded, "I thought he was just a kid, but it turns out he is a king."
Friend: "Do you still dare to pursue him for damages now?"
The woman looked troubled, and finally said, "Since I’m already here..."
The friend admired the woman’s courage, "No wonder you’re Keira Knightley, the one I know!"
Indeed, Keira Knightley had secretly rushed to Lisbon.
She was there to collect a debt.
She couldn’t wait for the summer to go sailing because she was facing a tough career choice in the near future.
Previously, Hathaway had spoken about Deng Kai’s help in an interview, which solidified her decisions and so on.
Beckham and Victoria had also repeatedly said that Deng Kai was a visionary, whose advice was very forward-looking and even if not taken, it was worth listening to.
Of course, as an Englishwoman, Keira herself was also a seasoned football fan; her home team was West Ham United.
Even as a child, she loved playing football and joined the women’s football team at her school.
So today was a good opportunity to watch the recently high-flying Sporting Lisbon.
Keep in mind, West Ham United had not made it into the Champions League or Europa League in over a decade.
Before the current season started, head coach Redknapp had announced his resignation, and the young youth team’s coach, Glenn Roeder, took over the team temporarily.
In terms of points, West Ham United wasn’t falling behind and seemed to have the possibility of qualifying for the Europa League.
But the fans weren’t satisfied with the actual performance.
Losing seven to one against Blackburn, zero to five against Everton, and one to five against Chelsea...
So watching a Sporting Lisbon match might also be a form of healing for Keira.
At least... Sporting Lisbon’s performance in the Primeira Liga was stable, right?
Ninety minutes later.
Keira left the stadium contentedly.
A beautiful three to nil, Sporting Lisbon had put on a good performance, leading to a three-game winning streak across all competitions.
Although Ronaldinho was absent due to injury, Kaka had returned from injury and provided an assist for Deng Kai.
However, despite Keira being low-key enough not to attract media attention from Portugal,
she had forgotten that as an emerging English Rose, how could she possibly escape the paparazzi from Fleet Street?
Especially The Sun Newspaper.
...
"You should’ve passed the ball to me, I was already in a clear position!"
After the game, the players of Sporting Lisbon made their way from the locker room to the parking lot.
Ronaldo was particularly dissatisfied with the goal Deng Kai had scored.
The guy had made him miss out on one more goal to his name, really annoying.
Deng Kai looked puzzled at Ronaldo’s accusation, "You call being double-teamed an open space? Come on, the other team’s players have parents too; can’t you stop shooting towards them? Have some public spirit, will you!"
Ronaldo responded with disdain, "Bullshit! I can dribble past them, and my shots can curve around the defenders."
Deng Kai laughed, "Dribbling like a zombie? Or did you change your name to Chris Ronaldinho? In our team, only Ronaldinho can consistently do what you’re talking about."
"Deng Kai!"
Kairo’s attempt to intervene was interrupted.
A woman wearing a black cap and large sunglasses jumped out from the side, blocking the players’ way.
"Do you remember me? Deng Kai, I am..."
Before the woman could finish speaking, a player next to the player next to the player next to the one she had stopped, said, "I don’t know if I remember you, but I’m sure you don’t remember me because this player you stopped is called Kaka."
Keira was hugely embarrassed.
She turned to Deng Kai and muttered, "From the stands, you all seem about the same height..."
Deng Kai’s teammates all laughed. There are two places where talking about height is a crime.
One is Barcelona.
The other is in front of Deng Kai.
But Kaka noticed that Ronaldo didn’t seem to be able to laugh.
On the contrary, he looked very serious, even shivering with anger.
"What’s wrong?" Kaka asked as he approached.
Ronaldo said through clenched teeth, "It’s too much! Why do all the pretty female fans have to be fans of Kai, oh no... I mean, since Kai is already dating Anne Hathaway, he should maintain a distance from other female fans."
Kaka felt it was normal, "But it was a female fan who stopped Kai; he can’t just drive her away, can he? It’s just politeness, don’t be so sensitive."
Ronaldo: "But she said, ’Do you remember me?’ That means she must have had contact with Kai before! This indecent guy, I must expose his ugly face to Hathaway!"
Kaka wondered, "Are you worried that Hathaway might be deceived by Deng Kai’s affections?"
Ronaldo shook his head, "That way Kai can spend more time on the training ground. The other day he went to England to drop off Hathaway for filming, wasting too much training time! At this rate, he’ll soon fall behind our pace!"
On the other hand, after a brief moment of confusion, Deng Kai quickly recognized Keira.
After all, Keira’s appearance was quite distinctive among Western actresses.
"You are..." Deng Kai made a face indicating he had recognized Keira.
Keira’s lips curved up slightly, quite pleased with her own fame.
"Scarlett Johansson!" Deng Kai said with certainty.
Keira’s expression went from sunny to overcast; she felt offended.
Deng Kai laughed, reached out to shake hands with Keira, and said, "Just kidding."
Keira then extended her hand with satisfaction.
"Natalie Portman, your performance in ’Léon: The Professional’ was simply..."
Keira immediately tried to kick Deng Kai, if the first time was accidental, she was now certain that Deng Kai recognized her and was teasing her.
However, Deng Kai’s anticipation was always superb, he sidestepped slightly, and because Keira kicked too fiercely, her high heel flew off.
For a moment, she was quite embarrassed.
