Kai's speed, even in the U17, is still first-rate. He even went from not being as fast as Ronaldo last year to being as fast as him this year.
"Brother understand, what did you do in the summer?" Ronaldo's pronunciation of some words was not particularly accurate.
"Pull the yak." Kai answered bluntly.
In the summer, he conducted special training on his explosive power.
He used traditional nomadic training methods—wrestling with yaks and playing with horses.
After Deng Kai heard about this training method, he had to sigh that Kai was really using his abilities.
After all, the cattle and horses there are not cheap, and the cost of sparring is extremely high.
Mianyang Inzaghi, Yu Shihao's speed is not slow either. He is close to the first tier. If you put him in the same age group, he can be regarded as a speed-type player.
At the same time, he has a good sense of positioning and likes to get into the penalty area.
Although he does not have a tall and powerful physique and is on the smaller side, he is very flexible and quite threatening when he doesn't face strong physical pressure from opponents.
Hao Junmin's speed is a bit slower than Shihao's and belongs to the standard second tier.
But his dribbling skills are the best among them, and his passing and shooting are quite reliable.
Shao Jiawei has the worst footwork. This is not only because he is a central defender, but also because he was a basketball player before.
But in both basketball and football, his body coordination, instant reactions, and pulling movements are all very good. This explains why his stealing ability is so outstanding.
After the day's training, Yu Shihao and the other three were planning to pack their things and go back to the dormitory.
It turned out that Deng Kai and Ronaldo didn't seem to hear the "end of class bell."
"Isn't training over yet?" Yu Shihao asked.
Kai grinned on the side: "They are both famous training madmen at this base. The club even changed the closing time of the training ground—it was postponed by three hours."
"The old groundskeeper used to grit his teeth whenever he saw Mr. Kai."
"In the end, Kai Shao and Ronaldo became famous. Fans and reporters often bribed the old man. He made a lot of money, so he doesn't complain anymore."
"Even we all benefited from Mr. Kai. Otherwise, why do you think Asian players aren't discriminated against here? Do you really think there's no discrimination against Asians?"
"You'll understand after staying here for a while. The whole of Europe is quite biased against Asians. But Lisbon has really improved a lot in the past year."
"It doesn't rely on friendliness—it relies on Kai Shao's assists, goals, and trophies in the league, the UEFA Youth League, and the European Youth Championship!"
Yu Shihao and the others didn't feel too emotional about it, but just hearing it was already shocking enough.
"Brother Hao, Wei Zai, and Min Min, let's play! Let's practice our positioning!" Deng Kai shouted from a distance.
Yu Shihao and the others immediately ran over.
Practice!
If you want results on the field, you must train well off the field.
As long as you don't train to death, train like you're about to die!
On the pitch, four Chinese teenagers, one Chinese from Lisbon, and a boy from Madeira ran wildly.
For ten consecutive days, they went out early and came back late, becoming a sight on the training ground.
In this regard, some people think this is just for show.
If practice worked for everyone, then what would the world need talent for?
For some people, no matter how hard they train, it is still difficult to succeed.
Deng Kai had no interest in refuting this.
If there is any nation that can rely on hard work to break through the limits of talent and achieve the impossible, it must be the Chinese nation.
…
"Trigueira returns to coach the youth team—is he superstitious about Chinese young players?"
"Are the four Chinese players in Sporting Lisbon's U17 really worthy of this team? Except for Kai, the other three are simply not qualified!"
"Deng Kai is nepotistic and forced the youth system to accept Yu Shihao and the others. At such a young age, has he already become a ball hog?"
"Sporting Lisbon's first team wins three consecutive warm-up matches! Augusto: We are on the right path!"
"Marques, the hero behind Lisbon's resurgence: The team doesn't have and doesn't need complicated tactics. Giving the ball to the best players is the best tactic. Ricardo Quaresma and Mário Jardel should get more touches!"
"
"Jardel: I don't think there's any problem integrating into Sporting Lisbon. Augusto values me very much, and I like this feeling. Marques definitely has real talent and knowledge—his understanding of tactics runs deep!"
"Quaresma: Marques is not like a parent who points out every move you make. He's more like a master who only appears when you need him!"
Recently, with the new season approaching, there has been more news related to the team.
The youth team is definitely not as popular as the first team.
Some of these interviews are real, while others are arranged by the club chairman and new coach to build momentum.
For example, the interview with Quaresma is very interesting.
He said Marques only appears when needed.
Later, the reporter asked Quaresma: When will you need him?
Quaresma: Not needed yet.
Translated: Marques never appeared.
No wonder Quaresma likes Marques so much.
Because Marques is the only tactical coach who won't stop Quaresma from performing meaningless dribbling on the pitch.
Jardel also likes Marques because he emphasizes giving the ball to him.
These two core players are both beneficiaries of Marques's "inaction tactics."
However, they are already famous, and their voices carry more weight than others in the team.
A fan restaurant.
Deng Kai brought Cristiano Ronaldo, Kai, Yu Shihao, and the others to have a big meal together.
Deng Kai was treating.
Otherwise, where do you think the title "Master Kai" came from?
"Everything today is on me—Mr. Kai!" Cristiano Ronaldo never felt bad spending Deng Kai's money, because he knew how profitable Deng Kai's signed football business was.
Pep Guardiola had been acting like he was crazy, constantly sending footballs to Deng Kai.
Cristiano Ronaldo even suspected whether Guardiola had some kind of leverage held over him by Deng Kai.
However, the real reason was that, prompted by Deng Kai, Guardiola underwent a detailed physical examination and hired professional sports medicine experts to plan his career.
As a result, the examination revealed that Guardiola had serious injury risks, and his physical condition would decline earlier than expected.
If he didn't reduce his running, he would most likely suffer injuries in the future.
This made Guardiola break out in a cold sweat, because Louis van Gaal's tactical system requires midfielders and attacking players to run intensely.
If Guardiola wasn't careful, he would overwork his body.
Of course, knowing this wasn't entirely a good thing, because now Guardiola had a headache figuring out how to explain to Van Gaal why his movement was no longer always on point.
