Chapter 634: Chapter 633: The Little Mage Who Thinks Highly of Himself, The Gourd Refuses to Be Ordinary
Geniuses always have a sense of superiority because they are forever winners.
But when winners gather together, there must be those who lose.
At first, none of these talented players was willing to accept the others as better.
And it was Fabregas who shone the brightest first.
After making two assists and scoring once in a training match and being chosen as the man of the match, he spoke with less courtesy.
In his words, he often sparred with Deng Kai, as if to emphasize to everyone that he was the next Deng Kai!
Truth be told, Fabregas was indeed very outstanding, excelling in various aspects.
Even in Barcelona, people often said it was lucky for Iniesta that he was three years older. Otherwise, if their ages were switched, it would be Fabregas entering Barcelona’s first team now.
Fabregas left Barca, indeed because the opportunities were few and far between.
But not entirely nonexistent.
In fact, within Barca’s internal arrangement, Fabregas and Messi had a significant impact on Haibabu.
However, Fabregas never expected that by proclaiming himself "The Second Deng Kai," some other members of the team gradually became discontented and started to hold nothing back.
In any team of his age group or even among those older than him, Fabregas was always among the best players.
He could stand out in almost every aspect within the team.
Yet at Manchester City, Fabregas found himself powerless.
Almost every one of his advantageous skills was matched, even surpassed, by teammates.
Especially since these players all played a variety of strange positions.
When it comes to long passes.
Other players aside, the two center-backs, Chiellini and Thiago Silva, were shockingly not inferior to Fabregas in precision.
Especially Thiago Silva, from vision to the choice of long passes, to the technique, was second to none!
Regarding crossing.
Lahm and Maicon were even stronger than Fabregas.
Even the Chinese player, Sun Jihai, whom Fabregas had never taken seriously, could compare with him in this respect.
If Fabregas still had confidence that he was slightly better than Lahm, Maicon, and Torres in breaking through, then their speed was something he struggled to keep up with.
Not to mention Ribery’s dribbling, which directly reminded Fabregas of Messi from La Masia.
Although not completely alike, both were very difficult to solve.
And in terms of defense... Fabregas was truly far from the level of Essien.
And even much inferior to the recently joined Mascherano.
No, no, no, even inferior to Vidal and Nainggolan.
And these two also had a great long shot.
Their technique might not be as fancy as Fabregas’s, but the effectiveness definitely wasn’t any less.
Finally, in the area of organization, where Fabregas excelled the most, he keenly observed that David Silva, also from Spain, was incredibly talented as well.
There was definitely a gap, but... not big at all.
Eventually, the unremarkable Tu Lei displayed his talent for organization in another training match.
Technically, not flashy.
But in terms of imagination, even made Fabregas feel inferior.
Plus, Tu Lei’s height and strength, it was practically a "full encirclement" against Fabregas!
Fabregas was dumbfounded.
This damn big guy can organize too?
About this, Tu Lei was quite self-aware, "What I did can hardly be called organizing! To use Mr. Maxa’s words, I’m just acting as the team’s cerebellum, assisting Captain Kai."
"All these were learned from following Captain Kai, and I haven’t even learned a third of his skills."
"Talking about imagination, if Captain Kai says he’s first, no one would dare claim to be second."
"It’s just now that Captain Kai is taking care of the young players on our team, his passes have become gentler."
"Back when we were at Sporting Lisbon, no matter how faint-hearted you were, a pass from Captain Kai would sharply enlighten you in minutes!"
Hearing Tu Lei say this, everyone crowded around.
Seventeen years old and already a Champions League winner!
At eighteen, he became the emperor of Manchester City!
Currently ranked first in the Golden Ball Award standings!
Contributed to eighty-four goals single season!
England Cup double champion!
Who wouldn’t be curious about the team’s number one?
And after everyone had been training for so long, Deng Kai still hadn’t shown up.
It’s said he went to the UAE to attend a future leader’s birthday celebration.
He was clearly a privileged person in the team.
Everyone was extremely envious and wanted to know more about Deng Kai.
Tu Lei was pleased with everyone’s reaction, "You all know Ronaldo, right?"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Youth player top scorer!
Shooting skills in the top five in the world!
More than seventy percent of Premier League fans think he might compete for the world’s top forward in three seasons!
"When Ronaldo was in the team, if he didn’t receive a pass from Kai, he would have to train extra for several days," Tu Lei said.
Fabregas was confused, "Doesn’t that mean if he didn’t receive the pass, there’s something wrong with Deng... Kai’s passing?"
Tu Lei chuckled, "I’m not talking about just any pass, but those passes that are guaranteed to result in a goal!"
"Just get a touch, play it decently, and it will certainly lead to a goal. That’s the terrifying thing about Kai’s passes... Missing out on such an absolute opportunity, it can only mean that the forward isn’t skilled enough at scoring."
"Alright, alright, it’s time for shooting practice now," Maxa came over to end everyone’s rest.
...
In the shooting practice, Fabregas faced another blow.
This time, he was just an average player!
In this team, there were too many players with superb shooting skills!
Just in terms of shooting, Fabregas wasn’t even as good as that taciturn Croatian, Mario.
The three strongest players stood out from the rest.
Torres was incredibly fast, easily getting one-on-ones with the goalkeeper, excelling at breakaways and solo challenges!
The best at scoring one-on-one.
Ribery was ambidextrous, incredibly skilled, with an exceptional feel for the ball, always creating shooting opportunities using both feet. Given space, his shooting skill was comparable to the top five in the world!
Top Five Clubs Association: Warm congratulations on hitting a membership of thirty!
And the new signing, David Villa, showed everyone what a shooting kaleidoscope looked like!
His textbook shooting skills, no wonder he managed to score twenty goals in the Spanish second division!
That’s something Fabregas couldn’t match.
Fabregas finally became more humble.
However, with the warm-up games underway, David Villa, who had been performing exceptionally, approached Maxa.
He hoped to play as the center-forward.
Rather than playing as a winger making space for Adriano.
He had no trouble with Adriano, but he believed he was more suited to be the team’s center-forward than Adriano.
Because Adriano’s goal-scoring ability was nowhere near his.
Maxa subsequently pointed Deng Kai in the right direction.
Deng Kai instructed Maxa to find Feng Te.
The next day, Feng Te, as the leader of the team’s defense, called an internal meeting of the defenders to convey the spirit from Kai’s team.
Some team members had already gained a deep understanding of this spirit at this time last year.
This year’s Villa is probably last year’s Adriano!
David, are you ready?
[PS: Sleepy time. Tomorrow, eight o’clock, see you at Wuzhizhou Island!]
