Chapter 726: Chapter 725: The Emergence of a Godly Player, The God of the Finals
Now, if he didn’t shoot, Canizares would have brought down Deng Kai and would not have let him have another chance to shoot.
The football undoubtedly passed over Canizares and then plummeted toward Valencia’s goal.
Thunderbolt Machena frantically chased back, sliding in a bicycle kick in front of the goal, eventually bundling into the net along with the football.
"GOAL! This is a shot from the skies!"
"From Thiago Silva in the backfield to Deng Kai upfront, one pass, one shot, and the football finds itself in the Valencia net."
"Thiago Silva’s long pass from the back is incredibly sharp! This player’s passing skill is superb; he also played as a defensive midfielder last season and is a player who can directly threaten the goal!"
"But we must talk about Deng Kai’s speed; he was as fast as an arrow just released. If not for his black hair, I would almost think that Torres was on the pitch."
"Two to nil! Deng Kai scores his second, helping Manchester City widen the lead!"
"Given that there’s only been twenty-four minutes of play, I’m at a loss whether to console Valencia by saying you still have time to catch up,"
"Or to encourage Manchester City by saying you still have time to expand your lead!"
"Right now, I’m more inclined towards the latter."
"The frightening Blue Moon sweeps across Spain; the bats are scattered by the moonlight, powerless to fight back!"
After conceding the goal, Valencia seems a bit lost.
You’re great in settled play.
You’re also great at counter-attacking?
What the hell do you usually practice?
It’s not possible to practice everything, right?
If you practiced everything, would you still be considered a possession team?
Liu Haocun, oh no... Guardiola: How couldn’t it be?
The thirty-first minute.
Valencia, with their cosmos ignited, orchestrated two waves of attacks, giving the fans hope for a comeback.
Vicente even dribbled past the pressing Toure in the center, avenging an earlier grievance.
Then, with a reverse flick, he lobbed the football into Manchester City’s penalty area.
Unfortunately, Kompany leaped high, beating Mista to the ball, and cleared it.
Valencia won a corner kick.
This was their best offensive opportunity thus far.
Bang!
Vicente took the corner kick.
But the next moment, he was flabbergasted.
You see, the corner he took wasn’t very close to the goal.
However, Manchester City’s goalkeeper, Cech, decisively rushed out, confidently raising his hands high, and leapt to clutch the football.
"Oh! Cech has the ball; that’s quite risky."
"This move is actually quite dangerous; if he misjudges or slips, then..."
Bang!
Before the commentator could finish his thought,
Cech, landing with the ball, charged out of the crowd, threw the football up, and with a big kick sent it flying.
Meanwhile, Valencia’s players were even protesting to the referee about being shoved moments ago.
At this moment, all of Valencia’s players were in Manchester City’s half.
On Manchester City’s side, Deng Kai on the left suddenly picked up speed, crossing the halfway line.
"Offside! Deng Kai is offside!"
"What offside! They’re all in Manchester City’s half; there’s no question of offside!"
"Cech quickly puts the ball in play, directly connecting with Deng Kai."
"Deng Kai alone storms into Valencia’s half, kicking the football fifteen meters ahead after receiving it!"
"Machena is chasing back, but the distance between him and Deng Kai is growing! Deng Kai is too fast!"
"One-on-one! This is a clear-cut one-on-one!"
"Canizares doesn’t dare make a hasty move this time; he’s waiting for the opportunity."
"Deng Kai is about to break into the penalty area."
"Canizares makes a move!"
"Deng Kai... what!"
"This is..."
Canizares fell to the ground in despair, turning his head to look at the blue figure.
Was that really Manchester City’s number ten?
Wasn’t that the number nine from Inter Milan and the number ten from Real Madrid?
The swaying figure, wasn’t that the pendulum dribble that only Ronaldo could do?
Bang!
Deng Kai, having gotten past the goalkeeper, calmly slotted the ball in.
Then he turned to look at the stands.
The pendulum dribble, he had learned it.
But it wasn’t as easy to use as he had imagined.
He could feel a strenuous sensation coming from his knee.
If he used this move too much, there was no doubt, the cruciate ligament would be ruined!
But this move was... indeed very exhilarating!
"siu!"
The Manchester City fans in the stadium started to cheer.
They kept calling out Deng Kai’s unique celebration.
Meaning they wanted Deng Kai to perform one.
There was no helping it, Deng Kai was too calm today.
He hadn’t celebrated much for the two goals he had scored earlier, just hugging his teammates and ruffling their hair.
The fans had been craving more.
And they couldn’t participate in those ordinary celebrations.
Eventually, at the invitation of the numerous fans, Deng Kai sprinted to the corner flag area, waggled his fingers, then leaped high.
The next moment, it was as if a deity had descended!
The entire stadium together: "Siuuuuuuuu!"
In the CCTV broadcasting studio, Huang Jianxiang got so excited that he stood up and joined in the shout: "Siu! It’s a goal! Three to zero! My god!"
"The championship belongs to Manchester City! The championship belongs to Deng Kai! The championship belongs to Sun Jihai!"
"The Quintuple! Deng Kai has won the Quintuple for the second time in his career!"
"How is this possible! This is truly a miracle!"
"In thirty minutes, Deng Kai has scored three goals with a flurry of punches and kicks, completing a hat trick!"
"He’s simply the god of finals!"
"Who else? Who can stop Deng Kai? Who can stop Manchester City?"
"The best in the world! Deng Kai is undeniably the strongest active player!"
"Zidane! Ronaldo! Figo! Rivaldo! Raul! Beckham! Shevchenko! Nedved! Henry! Who else?"
"Come on, all of you! Deng Kai will take on ten!"
Zhan Jun and He Wei exchanged glances, somewhat speechless.
But there was no helping it.
How could they when Deng Kai was indeed too strong?
Zhan Jun: "Er... Congratulations to Deng Kai for scoring hat tricks in two consecutive finals. But there’s still an hour left in the match, and theoretically anything could still happen."
He Wei: "Yes, the two goals that Deng Kai scored later were classic counterattacks. It seems Manchester City has thoroughly prepared this tactic."
"Cech’s save just now and his long kick were also very impressive, the former demonstrating his solid basic skills. The latter showed his excellent footwork."
"He might be one of the goalkeepers with the best footwork in the world right now."
Recovering his senses, Huang Jianxiang sat back down, but the first thing he said was: "From now on, no one can say Deng Kai is the world’s number one midfielder anymore."
"Because in this match, he has fully showcased his arsenal. He definitely has the ability to become the world’s number one forward! The strongest striker in the world!"
Zhan Jun and He Wei really wanted to block Huang Jianxiang.
But the fact was... Deng Kai had already scored sixteen goals in the Europa League this season.
A whopping six goals ahead of the second place Adriano!
Unless something unexpected happens, he will become the top scorer of the Europa League once again, three years later!
Participating in the Europa League twice and becoming the top scorer twice.
How could one not say he’s a godly striker?
