Deng Kai kept "spouting nonsense."
You could say he knew nothing about football, but you couldn't say he didn't understand the media.
Because those headlines obviously drew attention.
Every issue of "Soccer Guru" became a hot topic of discussion.
Even so, you couldn't say he knew nothing about football.
Because on the pitch, Deng Kai was also wreaking havoc, and the news of Portugal's performance in Trinidad and Tobago was astonishing.
In the first round of the group stage, Portugal defeated Spain seven to two.
The Barca-aligned media, which was most malicious towards Deng Kai, fell silent at that time.
Because in that Spanish team, besides Atletico's golden boy Torres, there was also Iniesta, who had just moved up to Barca's reserve team.
Barca fans had high hopes for Iniesta, even higher than for another slightly older midfield genius of theirs, Xavi.
With such a huge gap in the score, Barca had no face to criticize.
