Chapter 535: Chapter 534: Ronaldo Ascends to Godhood, His Follower Becomes a King
However, just when the Spanish fans were feeling sorrowful, they found that Deng Kai had actually tagged the official Spanish national team account: "I warned you, and I really stepped in, but... congratulations to Barcelona fans for successfully slapping me in the face!"
???
What nonsensical stuff was Deng Kai talking about?
Everyone clicked into the introduction of the main referee for this match, Gandour, and immediately discovered what had happened during last year’s European Union Cup series between Barça and Lisbon Athletic.
Gandour’s unfair refereeing at that time had sparked a conflict on the pitch, leading to a brawl between the players.
Deng Kai, Pepe, Deboer, Enrique, as well as Maxa and the Barcelona officials all faced serious punishment.
However, due to the Law for the Protection of Minors, the relevant punishment for Deng Kai was only implemented this season, which almost led to their elimination from the Champions League group stage.
The incident had a huge impact at the time.
The UEFA’s decision was considered fair and was seen as vindication for Deng Kai and Lisbon Athletic.
However, the obviously biased referee, upon suspension by UEFA, was immediately employed by FIFA.
Barcelona fans were jubilant at the time because of this.
It seemed as if this proved that the referee wasn’t biased.
They even mocked Deng Kai’s suspension as unavoidable, while Gandour could dodge UEFA’s punishment by using FIFA.
Smug as a bug!
"Fuck! It’s him! It’s this Gandour!"
"Damn! This super biased referee! I’m really going to lose my mind!"
"We could have made it to the semifinals! We had a chance to win the championship!"
"This is so infuriating! And previously, Barcelona fans were defending Gandour?"
"They even said that Gandour is the most incorruptible main referee in the world!"
"Isn’t this like shooting themselves in the foot?"
"I must say, Barcelona’s higher-ups have impressive strategic acumen, aiming at the Spanish national team a year in advance with far-reaching plans!"
"Now I just want to know if Barcelona’s players in the Spanish team have lost their composure?"
"Whether they’ve lost it or not, I don’t know, but I can’t hold back anymore, haha!"
"Honestly, I shouldn’t laugh at such a matter, I sympathize with the Spanish team, and support them too, but really... it’s hard not to laugh!"
"Looking back carefully at this match, I even think that Gandour retained some of the ’features’ from refereeing Barça’s matches, just so that the Spanish team would know they were dealing with a biased referee!"
Facing such a situation.
Guardiola, one of the main players of the Spanish national team, said after the game, "My career with the Spanish national team has ended, and I hope the future generation can take them to the pinnacle of the world."
"Additionally, if I had known beforehand that this match was going to be like this. After the controversial match with Lisbon Athletic in the European Union Cup a year ago, I would have expressed my true feelings at the time instead of remaining silent under the warning of the higher-ups."
"Something was fishy about that match."
"Just like something is fishy about this match!"
Guardiola, who appears gentle and intelligent,
no one expected him to be so resolute!
His indignation was evident for all to see!
Such outspokenness made Guardiola blacklisted by the Barcelona fan community.
Some Barcelona fans took to the streets burning Guardiola’s jersey, signed footballs, and calling him Judas!
This scene deeply moved the fans in Lisbon.
Are Guardiola’s signed jerseys and footballs flooding your area too?
Following in the footsteps of American capitalists dumping milk, burning the balls to save the market?
Barcelona fans understand economics!
In the face of such accusations, Barcelona officials also made their voices heard.
They harshly criticized Guardiola, claiming he was bewitched by Deng Kai’s charm.
They stated Barcelona would never let Guardiola into the team museum and hall of fame, and that he would never be welcome at Barcelona again.
Amidst the turmoil,
the German team, led by Matthaus and Kahn, with young players like Ballack and Klose dazzling in their performance, met the Brazilian team composed of superstars such as Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Carlos, and Cafu in the World Cup finals!
Ronaldo descended like a god from the heavens, scoring twice and leading Brazil to a 2-0 victory over Germany, successfully lifting the Cup.
Matthaus shed tears.
It was his last World Cup, and he was so close to fulfilling his dream once more.
After the match, Matthaus announced he was permanently retiring from the national team to make room for the younger players.
He passed the baton to Ballack.
With this, he had participated in six World Cups in his career, lifting the trophy once and becoming the runner-up three times—an illustrious record!
Of course, Ronaldo also made a perfect comeback fit for a king with this World Cup.
Scoring eight goals, he was crowned the World Cup’s top scorer.
He lifted the Hercules Cup for the second time, and this time as an absolute key player.
At this moment, Ronaldo shone with dazzling brilliance!
...
"Ronaldo completely turns the tide! Reverses Deng Kai’s advantage to top the Golden Ball and FIFA World Player of the Year live rankings!"
"German epic: Restart! Matthaus’s grand retirement, his career’s brilliance rivals Maradona!"
"Whether in stature or length of career, Matthaus’s achievements outweigh Maradona! Congratulations to Germany for producing another king of football!"
"Matthaus bids farewell to football! Retirement ceremonies to be held in Lisbon and Munich in July! Next stop might be the head coach of Red Star Belgrade!"
"Ascension! Ronaldo returns to the top of the world rankings! His former rival has turned from Zidane to Deng Kai!"
"Five-Star Brazil! Rivaldo still sharp, Ronaldo at his peak, Ronaldinho emerging... This Brazilian team could dominate world football for four to eight more years!"
"Locking in the 2006 World Cup champions early! Brazil makes a bold declaration!"
"Choice over effort! Kaká, the mediocre midfielder from Lisbon’s youthful storm, second only to Drogba in mediocrity, unexpectedly lifts the Hercules Cup!"
"Among the three core players of Sporting Lisbon, Ronaldinho is the first to lift the Cup! Deng Kai and Cristiano Ronaldo may never achieve this crown in their lifetime!"
"Retirement wave hits! Deschamps announces complete retirement from his professional career! Up next, he wants to become a coach!"
"Deschamps finds a new job, transforming into the assistant coach for the Premier League’s newcomer Manchester City!"
"Schmeichel officially declares his retirement! Considering joining the coaching staff of the Danish national team!"
"Marca uncovers explosive news! Summit-level international Guardiola might be forced to retire by Barcelona? La Masia refuses to open its doors to Guardiola, shattering both his player and coaching dreams!"
Bombshell news hits one after another.
Fans profoundly realize that the end of the World Cup isn’t the end but the beginning.
The world of football is just about to enter its most exciting phase.
Intrigues and strategic maneuvers!
Players slapping their own faces, clubs slapping their own faces, clubs and players together slapping the fans’ faces!
All kinds of domestic trivialities, all sorts of pettiness.
This is the famous Hong Kong movie, Wiretap, oh no... the transfer storm!
