Chapter 196 Pintos star falls and Sa Saint is born
In the end, the football slowly crossed the goal line and stopped completely less than ten centimeters inside the goal line.
This goal was really too forced.
But...this is a real goal.
drop!
The whistle blew, and the referee placed his finger in the circle, indicating that the goal was valid!
Benfica's players had no time to complain. The referee blew the whistle again, two short and one long, and the game was over!
The referee gave Benfica a chance to help, but Benfica didn't take it.
In turn, he gave Deng Kai a chance to fulfill his wish, and Deng Kai seized it.
Three goals, a hat trick!
Deng Kai became the youngest scorer and the youngest hat-trick player in the history of the Portuguese Cup!
…
"Caesar is back! The king is coming! Sporting Lisbon's loanee scored a hat trick to defeat Benfica!"
"The cd connection shows its power again! Deng Kai defeated Benfica and led the "Little Sporting Lisbon" to the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup!"
"The Only True God of the Stadium of Light—Deng Kai!"
"Deng Kai and Ronaldo, Portugal's youngest goalscorer, assist record crusher!"
"From last place to out of the relegation zone, Triguera's coaching of Moreirens has obviously achieved success!"
"With pressure on Materazzi, Sporting Lisbon's first team record has not improved significantly!"
"Heynckes: The opponent's players have no professional ethics, and Maniche's red card is very unjust! Triguera's instigation of the players makes people unable to believe that he was once a youth training coach!"
"Maniche: He said something very outrageous to me. I don't regret getting the red card. The only thing I regret is that I couldn't punch him at that time!"
"Deng Kai: Maniche needs to be calm, and Altino's defense against him was very successful. If Maniche joins Moreirense in the winter window, he will now enjoy the victory with us."
This Portuguese Cup brought Moreirense into the eyes of the Portuguese football media and the mainstream public.
No one expected that going to the Portuguese Liga was not a decision made by Trigueira, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Deng Kai at the end of the day, but it was the beginning of their brilliance.
This is the Portuguese League!
This is not a youth training league, this is a professional arena!
In the evaluation systems of major clubs, all the results achieved by players in the professional arena are heavily weighted, while the weight of results obtained during the youth training period is quite light.
This is the reason why Simao, Quaresma and other players have only played in the Portuguese Super League for one year, but their worth has soared from 1,23 million euros in youth training to 1,500 to 20 million euros.
"Ding! You have completed a game..."
After the game, Deng Kai received the reward.
After entering the professional arena, Deng Kai no longer needs training piles and energy drinks.
Because the competition rewards are enough for Deng Kai’s super training pile and Donglong special drink to achieve perfect internal circulation.
His training efficiency is now at full capacity.
This game allowed Deng Kai to acquire a blue player skill - inverted triangle return pass.
The inverted triangle return pass is a common move in football.
But the technical content inside is actually quite high.
Most players use a half-turn to expand their passing angle, thereby completing an inverted triangle pass.
The advantage is that the pass is very stable, and it is easier for teammates to stop the ball or shoot.
The disadvantage is that this passing method is only suitable when there are no defenders around you, because the half-turn action takes a while.
When passing the ball, especially when passing the ball from the wing, the reason why the football can be passed is often because you are one tenth of a second faster than the opponent.
If you slow down, the ball will definitely not be passed.
Or the opponent's defense is most likely in place.
So what to do?
There is also a method that does not change the body orientation of the passing player, but only adjusts the leg swing angle, contact point and special footwork to complete an inverted triangle pass that rolls backwards.
This kind of pass is extremely sudden. Compared with the former inverted triangle pass, which has almost absolute chances, the latter can create opportunities when there is little chance.
If a player in the back row wants to get a chance to shoot, he often needs this kind of pass. Otherwise, when his teammates complete their turn, everyone will notice that you are in the back row and take corresponding precautions.
Regarding this kind of footwork, when the Netherlands defeated the United States 3-1 in the knockout round of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Dumfries, who was awarded the best of the game with one shot and two passes, made two passes of this kind of inverted triangle.
In addition, Deng Kai also received a star drop in this game.
From Joao Pinto.
"The glory of Portugal's golden generation (1/5): Portugal's golden generation is slowly getting older as it reaches its peak. They very much hope that young players will take over their flag and continue to fight. Offensive movement 2, shooting 2.
Collect all the glory to get generous rewards!"
Good guy!
In the past, only low-level items had fragments, but now they are better. Even the stars dropped are in pieces. Has Teng Xun completed the acquisition of 100% equity in the system?
Of course, with Deng Kai's understanding of the system, this bonus may be really huge.
If you want to collect all these honors, you probably have to find a way to play more games with Portugal's golden generation of players.
Figo, Luyin Costa...forget it, this is so insincere.
Not to mention Figo’s Barcelona, if nothing else, they can continue to defend the La Liga title this season.
Of course, there was an accident in the end, and Deportivo fell behind him and finished second.
The Champions League is also at the level of the semi-finals.
Luyin Costa Fiorentina finished third in Serie A last season and runner-up in the Italian Cup.
There is no chance that Deng Kai will meet them in the Portuguese Liga.
Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope after going to the Portuguese Super League.
Because of Deng Kai's outstanding performance, some media interviewed Materazzi, the current head coach of Sporting Lisbon.
Reporter: "After Deng Kai, Cristiano Ronaldo and other loan players return to the first team next season, do you have any plans to let them appear in the first team?"
Materazzi: "Questions like yours really make me doubt the professionalism of the Portuguese football media. What are you thinking? They are only fifteen years old! Players of this age should appear in the youth training echelon."
"Triguera is really good at training players, so he can train so many stars. Even in the Portuguese Liga, he can make Ronaldo and Deng Kai look like future superstars!"
Generally speaking, Materazzi's words have no taste for his character, but Materazzi's assistant coach Maxa knows the twists and turns involved.
After Materazzi joined the team, he brought his own coaching team, which made Maxa the chief assistant coach in name only.
But instead of getting angry, Maxa still came in early and left late every day, cleaning the locker room, setting up training equipment, communicating with the players, supervising and appeasing the players' training and mentality, etc.
He plays the role of a perfect team leader, he really just gives and does not ask for anything in return, like a saint.
He was well-liked by his players and popular with his colleagues.
Some people even call him "Saint"!
The reason why he is not called "Mars Saint" is to save face for Materazzi.
