During Pilar's charge, he took a step toward Robben's right side.
It looked as if he was going to attack Robben's right.
Robben understood immediately and struck with his left foot!
Boom!
Pilar, who had just stepped to Robben's right, suddenly exploded toward Robben's left before Robben even touched the ball!
This was an extremely aggressive save.
Pilar wasn't just trying to fake Robben out — he had already committed to pouncing on Robben's left side in advance.
Incredibly confident.
Zeng Cheng had attempted this kind of save in a friendly match before and got scolded by his domestic coach.
However…
Boom!
The ball flew away.
"Damn it! He punched it out!"
"Pilar has done brilliantly!"
"One-on-one! This was a clear one-on-one, Robben!"
"That was the equalizer right there!"
"Robben's left foot is insanely dangerous. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes the best left-footed player in the world in the future. But if he develops his right foot too, he'll be on an entirely different level!"
"The ball falls to Kai's feet! Kai immediately chips it over the top, turns, and accelerates!"
"There are many Groningen players around him, but Kai isn't known for pure speed. He is… a fried meatball!"
Kai's fried meatball move dodged the stealers coming from the side while increasing his speed at the same time.
For three full seconds, Kai kept accelerating.
But he still hadn't crossed midfield yet. If the fried meatball effect disappeared, his speed would drop, the defenders would catch up, and he'd most likely lose the ball.
From this position, kicking the ball straight forward would basically gift possession to Groningen, letting them launch one or two more attacks.
Too dangerous!
At the critical moment, Kai had an idea.
Bang! Bang!
He executed another fried meatball while sprint-dribbling with no one even defending him.
This immediately annoyed the Groningen fans.
They booed loudly, thinking Kai was just showing off.
"Show off my ass!"
The camera zoomed in on Kai.
His face was full of smiles, looking satisfied and a little provocative — just like Antony after doing that ridiculous spin move.
But in reality, Kai wasn't showing off at all.
He just wanted to refresh the speed bonus.
Don't forget, "Fried Meatball Star" is a super skill that can be refreshed multiple times and stack effects!
Sure enough, after using it again, Kai's speed increased once more.
Not as much as before — only about half the boost.
But three seconds plus three seconds… that's still huge!
Although the final bonus can only approach 200% and can't make Kai the absolute fastest player alive, as long as he keeps performing technical moves, the time can be extended endlessly.
Maintaining top speed continuously is terrifying.
"Oh! What… what is Kai doing?"
"Isn't this a bit too much?"
"He pulls the ball behind his back! Kai actually slows down and drags the ball behind his heels — and there's no defender in front of him!"
"If the fried meatballs earlier weren't obvious enough, this is definitely showing off!"
"In order to showboat, he even lets the defenders close in. That's disrespectful to both opponents and teammates!"
The Groningen fans began cursing from the stands.
The Groningen players' eyes turned red with anger.
But right after the behind-the-foot pull, Kai's speed suddenly surged again, and he blasted through midfield.
The smile on his face grew even wider.
Fried meatballs really are god-tier!
Its refresh effect doesn't just apply to this skill — it refreshes all speed bonuses.
Every time the fried meatball resets, even the acceleration from the behind-the-foot pull refreshes too.
If he stacks more speed skills in the future and chains them together, Kai could theoretically outrun Wu Xudong, Cristiano Ronaldo, Robben — everyone!
This golden skill is insane!
Groningen's defenders waited near the edge of the penalty area.
But before Kai even entered their zone, he performed another fried meatball.
This time, the entire stadium exploded.
Water bottles and coins were thrown from the stands.
Kai's dazzling skills were driving them crazy!
Groningen's two center-backs couldn't hold back anymore and rushed out with red faces.
One of them launched into a reckless slide tackle from distance!
Not even to win the ball — just to take Kai down!
Boom!
Kai tapped the ball aside. It instantly flew to the left side of the box.
He accelerated, jumped, accelerated again, avoided the tackle, and less than a second after landing, he blew past another center-back with raw speed.
On the sidelines, Max and Triguero were stunned.
Are they watching Kai?
Or Ronaldo?
This speed… this one-man run… this is insane…
"One-on-one! Kai is through on goal!"
"The Groningen keeper charges out!"
"Kai… fried meatballs again!"
"He's past the goalkeeper! He can't even stop — he runs straight into the goal with the ball!"
Flutter!
Kai slammed into the net, bounced back, and fell inside the goal.
The ball rolled quietly beside him.
The scoreboard changed.
Four to two.
Kai… killed the game!
"GOAL! Oh my God! There have been many amazing goals tonight, but this one might be the best!"
"Groningen fans will hate it, but any neutral fan would stand up and applaud!"
"He looked possessed by the Brazilian Ronaldo!"
"Four fried meatballs, one behind-the-foot pull, a 60-meter solo run, past the keeper, straight into the net!"
"I can't believe this came from a technical midfielder!"
"Caesar! He truly is Caesar!"
"The whole stadium is insulting him — but honestly, that's a compliment!"
Boom!
Just as Kai got up, Robben rushed back and shoved him to the ground.
The Groningen players were completely red-eyed.
They had missed their one-on-one, and then conceded this humiliating goal.
And the opponent scored while basically styling on them.
Kai had slowed down several times, waited for defenders, and even kept pulling fried meatballs in their faces.
For fans it's fun.
On the pitch? That gets your legs broken.
Kai quickly got back up and shoved Robben away with his backhand.
He understood Robben's frustration.
But understanding didn't mean tolerating it.
With the upper-body strength he'd trained, Robben was sent flying and rolled twice on the grass.
The Groningen players froze.
This small guy… is this fierce?
"Fuck! You wanna fight? Then fight me!" Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to rush over, shoving away the closest Groningen player.
"Touch Kai again and see what happens!" the iron-blooded Veloso and the others charged in.
Both jerseys clashed inside the penalty area.
A full-blown brawl broke out on the pitch!
