Chapter 477: Chapter 476: Injury Retreat! Fans Riot!
But the Barcelona fans in the stands thought Deng Kai was going to take the penalty, and they planned to go straight for the goal, so they let out a tsunami of boos.
"He won’t score!"
"He won’t score!"
"He won’t score!"
The Barcelona fans started chanting the word rhythmically, cursing Deng Kai.
Puyol, having already used psychological tactics to disrupt Ronaldo’s penalty, came over once again in an attempt to disturb Deng Kai’s composure.
"You’d better score directly, or your team won’t even touch this ball!" Puyol said, then retreated back to the wall.
As a result, Deng Kai also walked over to him.
Deng Kai joined the wall formed by both sides.
There was no doubt, Sporting Lisbon was about to take a tactical free kick.
The Barcelona fans thought they had won, they scared Deng Kai away, and began to cheer in advance, celebrating the disruption of the free kick.
Bang!
Ronaldinho took the free kick, sending the ball flying toward the top of the penalty area’s arc.
At the arc’s top, several players jostled and pushed against each other.
Conversely, Deng Kai, who faced no physical threat, thereby obtained a gap.
But there were people all around him, and it would be difficult to handle the ball after receiving it.
Unless...
Deng Kai felt a Barcelona player behind him becoming aware of this spot.
The opponent even reached out to press down on Deng Kai’s right shoulder.
But little did they know, this pressure, while restraining Deng Kai, exposed their positioning.
Bang!
The football flew in, and Deng Kai, with his back to the goal, stopped the ball with his left foot.
The ball flew towards his right rear.
At the same time, he turned left, shaking off the person behind him who was trying to control him.
The cheers at Camp Nou instantly went silent, as if choked by fate itself!
The commentators were all stunned.
Because such an elegant stop, akin to a waltz, had just appeared in a match ten days ago.
It was during the Premier League match where Arsenal visited Newcastle United, and the Ice Prince Bogkamp had produced such an unbelievable and seemingly unreplicable stop.
After the match, Bogkamp himself admitted that the stop was filled with luck, and if he tried it again, the chances of failure were much higher than success.
And now... Bogkamp’s magic was replicated.
"Deng Kai got past! Puyol was like a wooden stake!"
"A waltz-like separation of man and ball! Deng Kai brutally carved a bloody path through the crowd!"
"Valdes charges out!"
"Enrique rushes from the side."
"Deng Kai chases the ball!"
"Tackle! Enrique slides in from the left! If Deng Kai insists on shooting, he’s likely to be taken down!"
"Shot! Deng Kai catches up with the ball, pushing a left-footed shot!"
"Enrique’s foot nearly grazes Deng Kai’s left foot as he slides by!"
"Oh! Enrique firmly hits Deng Kai’s right ankle! Deng Kai, having just taken the shot, could only use his right leg for support; he had no chance to move or dodge!"
"Enrique doesn’t pull back his leg!"
"Deng Kai is sent flying! He spins at least twice in the air."
"The ball is in! Valdes didn’t reach it, Deng Kai scores with a far post shot! It’s one of the hardest shots for the not-so-tall Valdes to save!"
Bang!
As the football landed, so did Deng Kai, who had been sent flying by a truck, oh no... by Enrique’s tackle, crashing hard to the ground.
Everyone held their breath and their hearts stopped at that moment.
A second later, Deng Kai sat up on the ground, furiously pounding the turf with his fists, and let out a muted roar to the sky:
"CNM!"
At this moment, Deng Kai’s feelings could only be expressed by this sentence.
"Can we win? Can Victoria really win!"
"Did the ball go in? Can I score a goal! Who didn’t touch the ball?"
"Who was it?"
"F**k!"
Deng Kai entered beast mode, cursing at everything—the sky, the ground, the air!
Because he felt a sharp pain coming from his right ankle.
F**king Enrique.
This jerk didn’t withdraw his leg.
With a slide tackle, if the person tackling pulls back their leg, the tackled person usually isn’t seriously hurt.
But without pulling back... it’s hard not to get seriously injured.
What?
Why doesn’t the person being tackled withdraw their leg?
The person being tackled often doesn’t get a chance to do so.
Like Deng Kai, with only a supporting leg, how could he withdraw it?
You can’t exactly defy Newton’s laws.
"Go to hell!" On Barcelona’s side, Puyol, who had been completely outplayed by Deng Kai and had Deng Kai’s face rubbed in his, was infuriated and charged straight at Deng Kai.
But there was a player who harbored resentment toward Puyol and had been watching him all along.
Just as Puyol was about to pounce on Deng Kai, Ronaldo darted out from the side and tackled Puyol with a move akin to an American football player’s, pressing him into the goalpost.
The big fight was on the verge of breaking out!
Players from both teams rushed toward each other!
This time, the stadium security was deployed.
But only a small portion of the security made it to the players.
Because more of them were heading towards the stands.
In the Victoria fans’ section, there were clashes with Barcelona fans.
The cameras zoomed in—it was Keira.
When Deng Kai was tackled, the Victoria fans erupted in a torrent of curses.
Keria and Victoria happened to be in an area near the edge, right next to the Barcelona fans.
The neighboring Barcelona fans immediately started arguing with Keira.
Eventually, he was the first to douse Keira with his beer.
Keira, with beer dripping from her head, responded with a flying kick straight to the groin.
The man immediately doubled over, clutching his crotch.
Keira followed up with a right hook, proving her pure English bloodline.
When it comes to football hooliganism, England has never been afraid of anyone.
Russia: Are you sure???
More Barcelona fans started to swarm over, but Victoria’s fans quickly shielded Keira and Victoria behind them.
Thankfully, there were many more Barcelona fans cheering than fighting, and the conflict died down with the arrival of stadium security.
However, Keira and the other person involved in the fight were taken away by security.
They would face an investigation and could possibly face legal consequences.
But when the security was about to take Keira away, they were surrounded by Victoria fans.
"What are you trying to do? This is Camp Nou; we’re protecting you!" the stadium security was somewhat at a loss with these "ungrateful" fans.
But the Victoria fans pointed towards the field.
In the corner flag area closest to this stand, Deng Kai, supported by Ronaldo, was signaling the stadium security to come over.
As security pressed the two suspects to the edge of the stands, Deng Kai pointed to Keira and said, "She’s coming with me. Our team’s private car will escort her to the police station."
Security shook their heads, "Sorry, we can’t trust you guys. If you let her go, it would be hard for us to explain to the Barcelona fans."
Deng Kai: "That’s exactly what I’m talking about. I don’t trust you either. I’m worried that under pressure from the Barcelona fans, you might cause bodily harm to this lady."
"She is Keira Knightley, an English celebrity, making her way in Hollywood, about to co-star with Jin Kairui in a movie production that costs over one hundred million dollars."
