Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 256

Ronaldo was lucky, when he learned from his agent Mendes that it was the Manchester United club, or more precisely, the Glazer family, the new owner of Manchester United, who promoted the media to promote the "Manchester United twin stars" , he already felt dizzy.

The purpose of the Glazers to push Ronando to the front is nothing more than to relieve their own pressure.

Undoubtedly, Manchester United's big victory in the first warm-up match of the new season has stabilized people's hearts to a large extent, and the wind direction of the Red Devils fans is slowly changing in a good direction.

Due to chance, Ronando became an important node in this Manchester United event. When he was still in Lisbon, he was eagerly looking forward to Ferguson turning his head and looking at him, giving him the opportunity to come to this long-dream team. When the team came to act as the "savior", what he thought was to become an important part of the new Manchester United like Ronaldo and realize his dream of being a big star. Unexpectedly, by chance, Ronaldo played a more important role .

Decades later, when people look back at the development history of Manchester United in the early 21st century, they can't help but marvel. If there were no Portuguese, would the Red Devils still be the Red Devils?
Of course, Ronando at this time did not live as happily as in historical records.

When people read the long scrolls of history, they often only notice those key moments, but when you integrate into the story, you will find that any moving story is full of ups and downs. The more brilliant life often means the richer Colorful behind-the-scenes stories.

On Sunday, United's first rest day after the build-up, Ronaldo received an offer.

Joel Glazer, the fourth son of Old Glazer, one of the new owners of Manchester United, invited Ronaldo and his agent Mendes to have afternoon tea together...I'll go!A Jew from the United States, pretending to be a British gentleman, invites two Portuguese to have afternoon tea. This scene is a bit funny, and it is awkward no matter how you look at it.

At the same time received the invitation of Joel Glazer, as well as the Portuguese coach Queiroz.

An American owner invited three Portuguese, including a coach, an agent, and a player.

"Welcome everyone here, let's raise our glasses for friendship!"

Joel Glazer is a middle-aged man of moderate build, wearing a black suit and tie. The other two men present are also wearing formal attire. Only Ronando is wearing a white shirt... this It was Ronando who specially changed into it in consideration of attending such a more formal occasion. It is summer now, and Manchester is not very hot, but the temperature is definitely not low. Ronando usually wears a simple T-shirt.

"For friendship!"

"For the honor of Manchester United!"

When Ronando softly said the word "the honor of Manchester United", he felt that several other people turned their eyes to him... Ronando couldn't help but wonder, everyone here is related to Manchester United, even if it is Mendes also got involved with Manchester United because of Ronaldo. Isn't it normal to toast for Manchester United?
Joel Glazer appeared to be very talkative, perhaps this was due to the nature of the Jews, they were born to be demagogues.

American culture, England's weather, what's going on at an auction in Paris, what women in Manchester are wearing right now.

It's just a small talk, the content of the conversation is varied, and you can talk about whatever comes to mind... Ronando was amused to find that today's scene is very similar to the scene at the old Ferguson's house a few days ago. He is a companion, listen Others talk about topics he doesn't care about, maybe that's how Westerners get closer to each other?
"Cristiano, I heard that Mr. Ferguson asked you to live in Cheshire? I think it is better for you to live in Salford, which is closer to Carlos. You are both Portuguese, and you have more common language with each other. Carlos He is an excellent coach, and he has a lot of experience in the growth of young players. What do you think?"

Afternoon tea host Joel Glazer finally brought the topic to football and Manchester United, but first talked about where Ronaldo lived and gave "advice".

Um?What does it mean?
Joel Glazer clearly asked Ronaldo to be with Queiroz, and he gave reasons... However, the first half of this reason is reasonable, and the second half is puzzling. Queiroz has something for young players Experience, isn't Ferguson a more powerful training master?
"Mr. Glazer, I think living in Carrington for the time being is more convenient for training." Ronando still used the same excuse.

"No! Cristiano, you didn't understand what Mr. Joel meant."

It was Queiroz who spoke: "You have started to become famous now, so you have to maintain a certain exposure rate. If you have been living in Carrington, you will disappear from the eyes of the media. This is not in line with the club. Positioning... You are one of the twin stars of Manchester United and the core figure of the new generation of Manchester United in the future. Like Wayne Rooney, you should often appear in the public eye, which is very helpful to enhance your reputation."

"This... Mr. Queiroz, isn't it too fast?"

Ronando was a little tangled in his heart. Of course he wanted to be famous, but what Queiroz meant was to compare him with Rooney. To be honest, wouldn't this be counterproductive?He just played halftime for Manchester United, it was still a warm-up match, this is the Premier League, how can he be so easy to mess with?

"Hehe! Cristiano, don't worry. We think you have enough ability to become an important member of the team...Although I promise not to be reconciled to Mr. Ferguson's employment, I can make my own suggestions, Carlos I will also speak for you. I rented a house for you in Salford, which is my gift to welcome you, a young Manchester United star...it is exactly 300 yards from where Carlos lives."

300 yards?But is it still "just right"?
Ronando is not an idiot. At this moment, a light flashed in his heart... Rooney lived 300 yards away from Ferguson's house in Cheshire. Now, his residence is also 300 yards away from Queiroz's house. This is a hint ?

Depend on!What Joel Glazer is playing is a trick of supporting each other with one hand and keeping each other in check!
On the surface, the Glazer family handed over the power of the club to Ferguson, but they were worried after all, so they prepared to support Queiroz, let the Portuguese coach become a weapon against Ferguson, and prevent the Ferguson family from dominating! ...Maybe the relationship between Queiroz and the Glazer family had been established before that, and Ronando just happened to arrive at this point and was forced to get involved.

Ronando's cold sweat came down!
This move of the Glazer family has to be said to be beautiful, but it may not be a good thing for Ronando.

In a certain sense, he has been inseparable from Queiroz from today, but his relationship with Ferguson has become complicated. There are both "cooperation" and "containment". Son"!

refuse?stop talking!As far as his Portuguese nationality is concerned, once Queiroz and Ferguson really form a mutual restraint relationship, it is impossible for Ronando to escape!
"Grandma! Americans are really masters at manipulating people's hearts! This is almost the same as the Chinese officialdom. Wherever there are people, there are fights. It seems that this factional struggle can't be avoided by anything... unless you take the initiative to get out!"

However, Ronando still has his own opinions in his heart. After all, the football circle is different from the Chinese officialdom.

The football circle is far simpler than the officialdom. In the officialdom, as long as the leader says hello, you can be an official. But players are different. If you have no skills, you will never be the protagonist, you can only be a supporting role.

Fuck him!This matter is dangerous, but it is also an opportunity to quickly rise to the top!It's not for him to fight Ferguson in the ring, they are still the same in essence, just for the good of Manchester United.

Besides, at this time Ronando couldn't refuse anyway, he had no choice...

※※※

Smart people can tell that a rudimentary form of Manchester United's Portuguese gang has been formed. For the time being, there are only two of them, assistant coach Queiroz + substitute winger Ronaldo. Their backstage is the new owner of Manchester United, the Glazer family.

Whether this small Portuguese gang can gradually develop and become a restraining tool to prevent the Ferguson family from dominating is still hard to say. The most critical point is whether Ronaldo can grab an important position in the team.

After the team's first warm-up match, the days of Manchester United's 2005 "Asia Tour" began to approach.

The club's commercial team, as well as the coaching staff and some players will take a flight to Hong Kong on July 7, and play a friendly match with Hong Kong United on July 22, followed by the BJ Challenge on July 23. BJ Guoan, an expert in foreign warfare, finally arrived in Japan and played two games on the 26th and 28th. The entire journey took 30 days, plus the travel time, it took about 9 days.

This is Manchester United's second trip to Asia, the previous one was in 2001, the destination was Southeast Asia.

The club is making intense preparations, and the team's training is also intensified. Apart from bringing commercial benefits, the trip to Asia is not good for the team itself. Traveling across half of the world will make the players tired, which adds to the Increased the difficulty of the team's physical recovery.

Ferguson's transformation of the team began to be put on the agenda during this period. Van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Luis Saha, Alan Smith, and Ronando, a total of 6 players were directed by Ferguson like a revolving lantern. Round and round!

Manchester United's inherent model is broken!
Center: Van Nistelrooy, Rooney, Luis Saha, three players take turns.

Left winger: Ryan Giggs, Alan Smith.

Right winger: Rooney, Ronaldo.

Hidden Front: Rooney, Alan? Smith, Ronando.

Ronando has become a part of the countless combinations of Manchester United strikers. He has matched with almost every striker in different combinations. Whether it is 4-3-3 or 4-4-2, Ferguson has given these players almost equal The treatment... No one knows what the Scottish old man is planning in his heart, but one thing is certain, Manchester United's main striker position is becoming elusive. It is difficult to say who is the main force and who is the substitute.

At the same time, Manchester United's midfield is also being adjusted.

For example, two wingers from the Manchester United youth academy, Darren Fletcher and Kieran Richardson, were almost kicked out of the winger competition. Kieran Richardson: left midfielder, left midfielder Defender, Darren Fletcher: Right midfielder, midfielder!
If you think about it carefully, you will find that due to the arrival of Ronaldo, Rooney began to experiment with playing as a center forward, and Darren Fletcher played as a midfielder... These are phenomena that have never existed before. Although this is just an experiment, their original positions It was indeed a threat from Ronando.
