The Premier League's number one right winger, France's top flank assailant, the scar-faced hero known for his breakthroughs, couldn't outrun Deng Kai?
This scene astonished many people.
But in fact, the players of Manchester City, including Ribery himself, were not surprised at all.
Manchester City had many speed-type players; Lahm, Ribery, Maicon, Torres, and others were all top-tier.
Among them, Lahm and Ribery seemed a bit faster than Maicon, but in reality, that was because they had an agility bonus; their speeds were quite similar.
Torres had a slight edge in terms of absolute speed.
However, in the training sessions of the latter half of this season, Deng Kai had once run faster than Torres.
Even though it was just that one time.
But combined with Deng Kai's performance in the last few matches, his speed had likely reached the Premier League's ceiling level.
Like Manchester United's Ronaldo or Arsenal's Wu Xudong, for example.
