Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 113
"******! There is nothing to see, let's play Inter Milan!" Roy Keane stood up, and he waved his arm angrily.

However, Roy Keane suddenly turned his head to look at Ronando, and said with a smile: "Oh! Monster, this time you are really going to meet your idol Adelaide, and your national team captain Figo You should thank UEFA President Johansson, hehe! This arrangement is really wonderful!"

Wonderful!It's wonderful!
After defeating Chelsea, Barcelona, ​​the number one favorite in the Champions League this season, finally got some kind of preferential treatment. They met Benfica, which was obviously weaker, and Manchester United, which defeated Real Madrid, did not benefit at all. First, they had to fight Inter Milan. , and then the winner of Arsenal and AC Milan, there is no easy game, every game is tough.

The "King of Inter Milan" of Inter Milan, Brazilian striker Reiter Adriano once led Inter Milan to beat Porto in the Champions League last season. After that, the Portuguese gave Ronaldo the nickname "Ade, the smaller one", but when Adriano heard the news, he expressed his expectation to compete with the "little genius of the Portuguese language department" as soon as possible. When it was time, Ronando spoke disrespectfully.

At that time, Ronando expressed that he was unwilling to be a "little Ronaldo" or a "smaller Adelaide". He expressed his hope that he could defeat Adriano, who was at his peak.

Now is your chance!Manchester United meets Inter Milan, doesn't it mean that Adelaide will meet "Adelaide who is smaller"?

There is also Figo, the captain of the Portuguese national team. Ronando is still Figo’s substitute in the national team in name. This time he will also compete with Figo. But when encountering this kind of hot news, the media will definitely not let him go. As a junior in Portuguese football, Ronando naturally can't talk nonsense. He must always show respect to Figo in face. For Ronando, it is always an unpleasant thing.

When you become a celebrity, you should always be high-profile and awesome, but you can't help yourself in many things. For example, if you dare to speak harshly when facing Figo, people will say that you don't respect your predecessors.

On Saturday, when Ronaldo was asked by reporters about the quarter-finals of the Champions League at the end of March, he replied: "I am very much looking forward to the semi-finals of the Champions League at the end of this month, because that will be my first time. I met Captain Figo in a game for the first time. Captain Figo’s contribution to Portuguese football is obvious to all. I chose to step on the football field because I was greatly influenced by Portugal’s golden generation. Figo is my idol and someone I respect A senior in Portuguese football."

"Yes! I will compete with Adelaide. This was an ideal for me half a year ago, but it is a reality today. I look forward to beating him at San Siro!"

Gray Magpies Newcastle came to Manchester's Trafford, which means a big battle is coming!
Since Manchester United captain Roy Keane was sent off with a red card for hitting Alan Shearer with a ball on the field in 2001, every time these two teams met, it was a battle of sparks hitting the earth. When Manchester United was a guest in August last year At Newcastle's St. James' Park, although Manchester United won a 8-3 victory, it can also be regarded as a bone-shattering. The main players Heinze and Giggs were kicked off the field, while Newcastle's Jean-Alain Boomsson and Lee Bowyer received red cards for egregious fouls.

Now, when the two teams meet again, Manchester United captain Roy Keane has become the team's assistant coach, and Alan Shearer is about to retire.

The two captains, who had been at each other's throats for many years, could no longer meet on the pitch, but the hatred between them still persisted.

Roy Keane: "I will stand on the sidelines and watch our team beat the Magpies. This is a new experience, and I will not be disappointed because I can't play in person, because Manchester United already has The new generation of red kids, they are the continuation of our generation. Think about it, Shearer may be going crazy, their team has not beaten us for five years. Haha! How many goals will they lose to us this season ?”

How many goals will Manchester United beat Newcastle in a season?

This is an interesting question. After that defeat in 2001, Manchester United have never lost to Newcastle, and there has only been one draw. The most dangerous one was in 2002, when the two sides played 5 : The super high score of 3, the two sides scored 8 goals in the whole game, it was really thrilling.

Newcastle unfortunately met Manchester United in the FA Cup last season. As a result, plus the two games in the league, Newcastle lost with a total score of 3:7 and lost 4 goals, but that was not the most. Newcastle lost in 2002 -In the 03 season, they lost 6 goals to Manchester United. In addition to the 5:3 game, the other game also scored a high score of 6:2.

It can be said that as long as Manchester United and Newcastle meet, it is very likely to score a high score. For example, the first confrontation this season will be a three-goal victory for Manchester United.

In other words, Newcastle has really gone from bad to worse in the past two years. The team that was able to rank among the top four, with the aging of the captain Alan Shearer, quickly embarked on the road of decline. In 2003, it was the third place in the league. Ranked fifth in 2004. Although Newcastle dropped to No.14 in the league last season, they still won the Europa League runner-up to comfort themselves, but this season they have nothing.

Scottish coach Graeme Souness finally couldn't stay in Newcastle anymore. In January this year, Souness and the Gray Magpies broke up peacefully.

To say that Souness is really wronged, Newcastle last season under the leadership of Alan Shearer made a final win. Although they failed to win the Europa League championship, Newcastle, who won the runner-up, is considered a hero. One, so Alan Shearer finally decided to retreat to the second line and give up his position to young people. Newcastle also started rebuilding in the summer of 2005.

Signed into the chasing boy Michael Owen with 1600 million pounds, signed with "Super Deportivo" La Coruña's main striker Albert Luke with 1000 million pounds, signed with Chelsea midfielder Scott Parker with 650 million pounds, In addition, there are Turkish midfielder Emre, French defender Jean-Alain Boumsson and others. The joining of this large number of powerful stars gave Newcastle a sense of confidence and a considerable scale.

With the signing of 3000 million pounds, and the ambitious Alan Shearer, if Newcastle could not recover, few people really believed it at the time!
However, things are really so unfortunate. At the beginning of the season, Newcastle's striker, which was considered to be comparable to the four giants, had a problem!

The first problem was Spanish striker Luke, who came to the team on August 8 when the transfer period was coming to an end. When Newcastle faced Manchester United in the fourth round of the Premier League on August 26, Luke sat on the Then in the fifth round of the league in early September, Luke went into battle against the underdog Fulham. As a result, in that game, Luke suffered a severe torn tendon in his foot and tragically entered the During the injury period, although he came back in November, his state was up and down, and the number of goals so far is zero.

Another problem is of course the glass man Owen. Now Owen is 25 years old. If he is not injured at this time, it will be news. In the second half of last year, Owen played 10 times for Newcastle. This number is more than the number of times he played for the national team. Not many times!What is even more unfortunate is that in Newcastle's game against Tottenham in December last year, Irving suffered a severe fracture of the fifth phalanx of his right foot and is expected to be reimbursed this season.

Having said so much, it is to illustrate the fact that the two strikers that Newcastle spent 2600 million pounds to buy last summer were of no use!
So, who will Newcastle rely on on the front line this season?

Alan Shearer, who was born in August 1970, is now 8 and a half years old. Last season, he couldn't resist the position of the main striker. This season will be even more difficult.

Nigerian big man Sola Ameobi, the black striker who was knocked to the ground by Ronando before the Europa League final last year, this guy looks powerful, but the scoring rate is really low Gao, he only scored 2 league goals last season, and played 31 times. This season, Ameobi stayed in the team as a substitute, but Irving was always injured, and Luke was also injured due to serious injuries. Affecting the state, Ameobi was very lucky to become Newcastle's main striker!

Alan Shearer who is too old to play + big black man Ameobi, this is the striker combination that Souness holds in his hands!

By January of this year, Newcastle had no money to bring in new forwards, and none of the two diseased mouse forwards in their hands could be sold. As a last resort, the club formulated a so-called "Star Black Hole Repair Plan" , meaning to help Spanish striker Luke recover to solve Newcastle's lack of strikers.

This head coach can't mix it up!Souness is furious and proposes to terminate the coaching contract!
It is understandable for Souness to pick a pick. Everyone knows that he has worked hard in Newcastle. In this team, when there is a result, the glory belongs to Shearer, but when the team does not play well, the fans scold him. It's always Souness, this is a scapegoat, but there is a big problem in the team's reconstruction, the team's league ranking is always outside the top ten, Souness is always getting angry from inside and outside.

Glenn Lord: "I admire Roy Keane as a player, but as a coach, he is still too young! In my eyes, Shearer is still the best striker, and Ameobi has also found it recently. The feeling of scoring goals, I think Newcastle will definitely play a good game at Old Trafford. Maybe I think we should get a victory there like five years ago, because Manchester United is too young. They may play well for a while, but never for a long time, that's the rule!"

Oh!Who is Glenn Lord?

He even dared to denounce Keane as "too tender", and also mentioned some rules. Can the so-called rules still apply to Manchester United this year?
Glenn Rhodes, a 50-year-old English coach, was a member of the England national team coaching staff during the 2002 World Cup. He was also the head coach of West Ham from 2001 to 2003. The current Glenn Rhodes is Newcastle coach, that is, the Scottish coach Souness's successor Newcastle coach.

Speaking of Glenn Lord, his coaching career is quite "legendary", and he also has a strange nickname: "Nerve Knife Coach"!
Glenn Rhodes was born in the Arsenal youth training system. He was a Newcastle striker in the 80s. After retiring, Glenn Rhodes switched to a coach and did well. Later, he was favored by the head coach of the England national team Hoddle. , entered the coaching staff of the national team and went to the 2002 World Cup with the team. After that, he was favored by West Ham coach Redknapp and went to West Ham as the assistant of Lao Lei. In 2001, Lao Lei defected from West Ham At that time, Glenn Lord stayed in the team as the caretaker head coach, and was officially appointed as the ninth head coach in the history of West Ham United.

Glenn Lord, who finally became the head coach of the Premier League, spent more than a year as the head coach of West Ham, but in early 2003, he collapsed in the office because of a brain tumor and had to undergo neurosurgery. After he recovered from injury, West Ham happened to have been relegated. As a result, Glenn Lord was sacked.

In June last year, Glenn Lord came to the Newcastle youth team as the head coach after two years of fading out of the football circle. When Souness left, Glenn Lord was once again lucky to become the caretaker coach of the Premier League team .

He became a member of the coaching staff of an important team twice because he was favored by a famous coach, and became the caretaker coach twice because of the unexpected departure of his predecessor. This is the legend of Glenn Lord.

After undergoing neurosurgery and spending two years out of work, Glenn Lord's character became elusive.

It is entirely conceivable that Glenn Lord is a person who has been on the verge of death once. At that time, he suddenly fell into a trough at the most glorious time of his life. Not only was he fired from the position of the Premier League head coach, but he also lost his job. For two years, this was a huge blow to everyone, so when he came back, he became very aggressive. Anyone who dared to provoke him, Glenn Lord would definitely fight back. He It doesn't matter how much prestige Roy Keane has in English football.

In other words, Glenn Lord is lucky to be the head coach of Newcastle this time. After the first two defeats, Newcastle's record has improved significantly.

Starting from the 2th round of the league on February 4th, Newcastle has won four consecutive victories in the league, defeating Portsmouth, Aston Villa, Everton and Bolton respectively. The league ranking has also risen to No.25. Although this result is still not ideal, it is much better than when Souness was in power. This is why Glenn Lord dared to say that Roy Keane was "too tender".

Newcastle's striker is still relying on Alan Shearer and Ameobi, but these two forwards have significantly increased their scoring rate in recent games, which is somewhat puzzling.

However, inexplicable is inexplicable, as is the case in football. Whichever team performs well, the players and coaches have the confidence to speak.

After Glenn Lord was awesome, Newcastle captain Alan Shearer did not have any nonsense. Maybe Roy Keane's transfer to coach made Alan Shearer a little disheartened. After all, people are old, and how mighty he used to be is a thing of the past. Can he, a 35-and-a-half-year-old, still compete with young people?That's not only shameless, it's also not classy.

However, the Nigerian striker Ameobi couldn't wait to stand up.

Ameobi said: "I love this team. This is my fifth year playing for Newcastle. I thank Coach Rhodes for trusting me and allowing me to find the feeling of scoring goals. And Captain Shearer, He will always be my role model. Are Manchester United strong this year? Maybe they are strong because they beat Real Madrid, but maybe we have a chance to beat them in this game!"

"Everyone can see that the monster has run out of stamina in the last game, even Manchester United's backup right midfielder is finished... This is our chance!"

It can only be said that Ameobi is a stupid thing with a lack of brain!

He presumptuously pinned the reason for Newcastle's possibility of victory on the fact that Ronaldo could not play. This may be that Ronaldo left an indelible shadow on this big black man, but Ameo is more than you can remember in your heart. I think so, but I can't say it, because, if you say that, isn't it that you admit that Newcastle can't beat Manchester United?

Maybe Ameobi will be scolded by Shearer and others when he returns to the team after he said those words in front of the reporter!
Having said that, Newcastle's new coach, Glenn Lord, dared to speak hard, and he probably had a similar meaning in his heart, because although Newcastle is playing away, their physical fitness must be at an advantage, and Manchester United just played against Real Madrid on Wednesday. In a brutal battle, Ronando was replaced after running wildly on the field for so long. If you think about it with ordinary people's thinking, Ronando is definitely not suitable for the game at this moment, and Park Ji-sung is the same reason.

Now that Manchester United's most powerful offensive weapon no longer exists, that is, the tiger has lost its teeth. Newcastle just took advantage of the opportunity and said something harsh, what are they afraid of?

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Tim Howard
Forwards: No. 9 Luis Saha, No. 42 Giuseppe Rossi
Midfielders: Nani No. 17, Darren Fletcher No. 24, John O'Shea No. 26, Cristiano Ronaldo No. 22
Defenders: No. 25 Patrice Evra, No. 6 Wes Brown, No. 27 Miguel Silvestre, No. 28 Gerard Pique
Are you sure you read it right?Is this the starting XI for Manchester United?

Absolutely!This is Manchester United's starting lineup against Newcastle in the 29th round of the league. Except for the three young players Fletcher, Pique and Ronaldo, the players in other positions are all different from the previous game against Real Madrid. Said that the head coach Queiroz hid most of the main players, and all came off the bench to play Newcastle!
You know, Pique, the right back, is actually a substitute. Manchester United's first main right back is captain Gary Neville.

Therefore, among the Manchester United players who entered the starting list today, that is, Ronando and Fletcher are considered to be the main players of the current first team, and the rest are substitutes.
