Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 104 Fighting Maniche

The two sides have returned to the same starting line. It can be said that if it is not because of Ronaldo's extraordinary performance in the first half and winning a penalty kick, McCarthy's dribbling can make Benfica fall into hell and lose this important game of the season. .

On the court, Ronando and Nuno Maniche were constantly locked in each other, and the two had a great time fighting.

Nuno Maniche's defensive characteristics are not only physically strong and able to get stuck in position, but he can also get stuck in an accurate position, which always puts Ronaldo in an uncomfortable angle when he wants to catch the ball, which is not very comfortable You have to catch a pass from your partner.

In the Benfica team, the strongest defensive ability is Ronaldo's friend Fernandez, who is also known as the best defensive midfielder of Portugal's young generation.

However, Ronando felt that Fernandez's skills were not a little worse than Nuno Maniche's. The common characteristics of the two were that they were physically strong and not very tall, but Fernandez relied more on his body, while Nuno Maniche is a combination of body and technology, no doubt a step further.

Ronando is even a little obsessed with fighting Nuno Maniche. He believes that if he can train with this guy for a period of time, he can make a leap forward.

Sure enough, it is easier to grow yourself by training and playing with high-level players.

At this point, half of the second half of the game had already gone on, and the two sides were still engaged in a tug-of-war.

Everyone's eyes were also moved away from the "focus" of Ronando and Herder Postiga. These two players were closely guarded by the opponent. Generally speaking, the effect on their respective teams is not too great.

Compared with Herder Postiga's inaction, Ronando is slightly better. He has a few successful breakthrough passes, but he is no longer as brave as when he scored in the first half, even if he used the back row to insert the ball. With one move, he was also surrounded by Nuno Maniche and Jorge Costa, unable to get a chance to shoot.

Porto's Nuno Maniche is awesome!Jorge Costa is immortal!
Benfica's pair of young defensive players Manuel Fernandez and Ze Roy are also good!
Benfica's No. 22 Ronaldo Jr. is a genius who can create miracles. It is a pity that he lacks experience and is still a little young!
National team substitute striker Hélder Postiga?The impact is good, but it’s only impact. This guy’s selection for the national team is really a bit of a misnomer. Maybe it’s okay to use him as a surprise soldier. If the national team really relies on him, it’s unimaginable. Look Later, he was returned by the Tottenham team, really not wronged...

This is the general view of the fans and media reporters on these "supporting actors" on the field.

So, who is the protagonist on the field today?
Benfica's Simão and Porto's Ricardo Quaresma!

One is the main left winger of the Portuguese national team, and the other is the main left winger and team captain of the U21 team!
Two skilled wingers, each became the most outstanding figure, and won applause from their respective fans...

"Don't worry! You are not a star who can shine in the audience. Maybe you can in the future, but not now! Be calm, you will definitely succeed!"

Ronando kept admonishing himself in his heart. He made himself look powerless on the surface, and had to be willing to be a supporter. His main role was to contain and help his teammates pass the ball, and he no longer expected to be the leader of the audience. The brightest star.

"Hey! Boy, are you not so useless? I feel like you didn't do your best!" Nuno Maniche suddenly muttered in dissatisfaction.

Ronando didn't answer, of course he didn't use his full strength, he was just waiting for the opportunity!

Compared with Nuno Maniche, Ronando's strongest point is his physical fitness. Of course, this does not refer to pure physical confrontation ability, but refers to absolute speed. Nuno Maniche's reaction speed is very fast , the speed is not slow, but his absolute speed is not as good as Ronando.

Ronaldo was just waiting for the right moment to snap past Nuno Maniche to gain space for the ball.

This timing must be grasped well and not impatient. After all, Ronando has only a few chances left. Once he fails to launch the "Three Seconds God", he may not be able to wait for the end of the next 10 minutes.

In the 39th minute of the second half, Nuno Gomez received a pass at the top of the penalty area, but he was blocked from behind by Jorge Costa and could not turn around.

"Ronaldo! Run! Run!" Nuno Gomez yelled suddenly.

Ronando, who was entangled with Nuno Maniche, suddenly moved!

45° oblique insertion on the right side!Go straight to the left side of Porto's penalty area!
This is a tactic designed by the Benfica front three in normal training. Nuno Gomez attracts the opponent's defensive force in front of the penalty area, and then Ronando moves to the wing and hits the penalty area from the flank.

This tactic does not have much technical content, the key is to be fast and accurate!

At this time, Porto's defense line is concentrated in the middle, and the left side is very empty, which is a neutral position. As long as Ronaldo can rush to the open position first, Nuno Gomez will send the ball to the position in time and accurately. With Ronaldo's speed and The ability to finish the goal, whether it is a pass from the bottom or cutting into the penalty area to shoot, has a certain success rate.

"Pay attention to the split of Benfica No. 21 Nuno Gomez! Watch out for the movement of No. 22 Ronaldinho!"

The commentator loudly reminded the players on the field, but in fact he didn’t need to remind them that Benfica’s tactic was not hidden, they just typed the word “quick”, which made him see the situation clearly, and it was too late to take precautions.

Ronando was galloping, with Nuno Maniche chasing desperately behind him.

Both men were fast, but Ronando was still on the line, running forward as hard as he could, quickly pulling Nuno Maniche down half a body...a body!
With this sudden change, the atmosphere on the court suddenly became tense, and everyone's eyes kept wandering on Ronando and Nuno Gomez.

Obviously, Ronando is going to rush to the side to receive the ball, but Nuno Gomez, who is holding the ball in front of the penalty area, is also dangerous!

At this time, the test is the tactical quality of the defensive players. Porto's defense is a well-tested team. They immediately chose the most stable defensive strategy. Captain Jorge Costa still withstood Nuno. Gomez, left back No. 8 Nuno Valente had no time to rush back to the wing to prevent Ronaldo from receiving the ball, so he ran to the left side of the penalty area line to prevent Ronaldo from breaking into the penalty area after receiving the ball.

The reaction of Porto's defense is not unreasonable, but it is in the arms of Benfica!

This seemingly impenetrable defense just created a weakness. Porto's defense line was separated, and all players fought on their own. Once Ronaldo received the pass, he could get a short one-on-one fair chance!
In a normal state, Ronando does not have an absolute advantage in one-on-one situations. However, when he activates "Three Seconds God", the success rate will be infinitely close to 100%...

"Shh!"

Nuno Gomez made the pass, although, he was double-teamed by Jorge Costa and another holding midfielder, Francisco Costinha, but as a top striker with the ball in small areas , Nuno Gomez still found a suitable opportunity to kick the ball through the shaking of his feet, and sent the ball out with one kick.

The situation suddenly became clear. Benfica didn't play tricks. They really pinned their hopes on the young player Ronando!

This is a bit of a surprise to the Porto players. In the eyes of many people, the game will be over in a few minutes, and Benfica will not have too many offensive opportunities. At this time, Ronando's interspersed movement may be just a Under the guise, the real threat should be the ace striker Nuno Gomez, but unexpectedly, Nuno Gomez really passed the ball.

Ronando gritted his teeth while running, stretched out his left foot to stop the ball!
He must stop the ball with his real skills, and he must not leave any interference opportunities for Nuno Maniche behind him!

At this time, he is too far away from the goal. Once the "Three Seconds God" is launched too early, the more difficult breakthroughs will rely entirely on his own ability. This is a stupid choice, and it will really make this attack come to an end.

Ronando's stop is a little bit bigger, but good luck!There are no defensive players on the wing!
Nuno Maniche, who was behind him, took advantage of this interval and got a little closer. There was only half a body difference between him and Ronando!

Ronando threw his body forward desperately, maintaining his positional advantage over Nuno Maniche, took another step, and continued to run forward.

The eyes of tens of thousands of people in the audience are all focused on Ronando. Now, his actions in the next few seconds will determine whether Benfica's attack will be effective, and will also determine to a large extent The outcome of this game is because there are only the last few minutes left in the game. Judging from the comparison of the strengths of these two teams, it is difficult for either side to break through the opponent's defense within a few minutes.

"Three seconds God!"

Ronando tried his best to maintain a stable mood, not to let his heart beat too fast and affect his state, and finally it was the last three seconds!
"Snapped!"

A light smash in the running, turning towards the penalty area!

"Be careful he wants to cut inside!" Nuno Maniche yelled, reaching out to grab Ronando's jersey without hesitation!

He was following behind Ronando, of course he was the first to observe Ronando's movements. If he could make a move, Nuno Maniche would definitely choose to put the guy in front of him down, but at this time He didn't even have time to kick people. It is estimated that as soon as he lifted his foot, Ronando would run out of his reach, so pulling people became the only option.

As an experienced player, Nuno Maniche clearly knows the consequences of Ronando's successful inside cut, which must be much more dangerous than the bottom cross!
In other words, because Porto has a powerful central defender Jorge Costa with a height of 188 cm in the penalty area, he is not too afraid of the opponent's high ball. Benfica striker Nuno Gomez is only 181 cm tall. In this kind of spot grabbing, height is not the only factor, but it is definitely the most important factor. The chances of Nuno Gomez being able to grab the first spot will never be high.

Then, once Ronando successfully cuts inside, it is completely different. He can choose to shoot himself, or pass the ground ball, which is much more threatening than a lob.
