Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 283 The Unappreciated Hero

"The Red Devils suffered a scoring shortage, and the Portuguese teenager rode the savior alone!"

Do the Red Devils and Manchester United have a "scoring shortage"?This definitely has it!
Judging from Manchester United's third-place finish last season, it is already a consensus that Manchester United lacks effective means of scoring goals.

Although this statement is really funny, Manchester United has one of the two best strikers in the Premier League, but the super goal machine Ruud van Nistelrooy can't help Manchester United achieve a satisfactory scoring rate now. Manchester United ranked first in the scorer list last season , no player entered the top ten!
Manchester United in the 90s was so domineering. Except for the first season when the Premier League was established, the number of goals was 67. The number of goals in other seasons exceeded 70. It reached its peak in the 1999-2000 season, with a total of 97 goals in the league!Almost broke a hundred goals, but then Manchester United's scoring ability has been declining. The statistics for the last two seasons are: 64 goals and 58 goals!
Manchester United's season goals finally fell to the bottom, below 60 goals for the first time!
This data is already on the same level as Middlesbrough's 53 goals in seventh place in the league and Fulham's 52 goals in league thirteenth, far behind Chelsea's 87 goals and Arsenal's 72 goals.

Therefore, looking at Manchester United's performance on the field, we should not only pay attention to whether they have taken the initiative on the field, but to see how many goals Manchester United scored!
Looking at it this way, the problem came out. Manchester United scored a total of 4 goals in the two official games after the start of the season. I feel extremely dazzling: Ronaldo 3 goals, Ryan Giggs 1 goal...

Ronaldo, who played 45 minutes in each of the two games and had a mediocre overall performance, even scored 3/4 of Manchester United's goals!
Solo Savior!This word is too figurative!
If it weren't for Ronaldo's stumbled goal near the end of the first half, Manchester United would probably have been defeated by Everton in the season opener, repeating Manchester United's embarrassment of being defeated by Everton at home last season.

Ferguson: "Rooney's performance is obvious to all. His appearance has brought vitality to the team. He is the most important arrow figure in the team....Ronando, a player whose skills still need to be honed, his goal is very important. Beautiful, he is still very young, a little immature on the court, we will help him mature as soon as possible."

David Moyes: "I know Wayne Rooney well, he put a lot of pressure on Everton's defense today and for that I agree with the fans, losing Rooney is a big loss. ... Portuguese teenager Ronaldo ? I thought the goal was unexpected, we had an error in defence. In football there are always mistakes like this, and our goal was also due to a defensive error by a Manchester United player."

Coincidentally, the head coaches of both sides of the game gave Rooney a very high evaluation. On the contrary, they had very unclear views on Ronando!
For a head coach, when they praise a certain player, it is by no means just talking about it.

If a coach often praises players with eloquence, his reputation will be ruined. This is the same as "treasure words like gold". Ferguson has praised Ronaldo after the last game between Manchester United and Debreson. , if you praise him after a few days, it will undoubtedly put him on a burden.

The players that Ferguson praises must have great strength, which represents Ferguson's vision of people!
Ronando's performance was not enough for Ferguson to voluntarily shoulder the burden. As David Moyes said: Ronando's goal was an accident... I am afraid that few people in England think that Ronaldo has such a Fantastic scoring ability, judging from the skills shown by Ronaldo, it is impossible for him to keep scoring consecutive goals.

※※※

Ronando was very upset about this!
Obviously he was the only player in the team to score a goal, but the English media's evaluation of him is far lower than that of Rooney who failed to score. At most, he praised his good luck, "picking up mistakes" and "accidents", in short I just think he picked up a bargain for nothing. According to his strength, he cannot become Manchester United's savior.

"Manchester United's hope lies in Rooney? Only Rooney breaks the scoring drought and can help Manchester United regain its glory? Huh! A Ruud van Nistelrooy who can score goals is not valued, and now a Portuguese who can score goals is also neglected! Could it be said Are English people really that arrogant?"

Ronando is taking the opportunity to vent his dissatisfaction. Of course, these words cannot be said to the media, nor to those teammates.

"Cristiano, don't worry, I think you are too anxious. You are in a good state. If you can maintain a high scoring rate, no one can take away your pride. But, from the coach's point of view, Your technical level is indeed too monotonous...unless you really become a killer like Inzaghi, but Manchester United does not need an Inzaghi at all, even if he comes, he can only be used as a substitute!"

"Coach Carlos, I understand. I have made an appointment with Ruud van Nistelrooy to learn from him the skills of stopping and dribbling."

"Well, it's good for you to think so. Believe me, as long as you practice your skills well, your future will not be worse than Rooney!"

Queiroz and Ronando are grasshoppers on the same rope. If it is said that Ronando has completely stopped at Manchester United, then Queiroz may also have a hard time staying at Manchester United. Now that he has broken Queiroz's "neutral" status, when he has to stand on his own, he can't help him choose!

This point has been irreversible since Queiroz resolutely put Ronando under the protection of his wings.

Therefore, Ronando doesn't mind complaining in front of Queiroz, and at the same time, he also wants to let Queiroz transmit some confidence.

A striker who can only occasionally score goals but has an average performance on the field is obviously not enough for Queiroz to rely on to establish his own power. At least it must be a core player who can not only score goals but also be indispensable on the field. Let Queiroz have confidence.

In the Manchester United team, apart from the factors of the American Glazer family, Ferguson is the only big boss. Below Ferguson, there are the Scottish gang, the English gang, and the European gang. Queiroz is free from other people. With his unique identity, he not only stands with the Scottish gang, but also because he is from a continental European country and does not belong to a non-English British country, he is not rejected by the England gang, and he is also close to players from continental European countries.

Such an identity has advantages and disadvantages... In short, it is not so easy to be an assistant coach for Manchester United!

Van Nistelrooy's skills are much more exquisite than Ronando imagined!

As a 188cm big center forward, Van Nistelrooy's ability to drive the ball is not very strong, which makes him only a forward who is "supported by others".This is why Ruud van Nistelrooy's goals dropped sharply after Rooney arrived last season.

However, Van Nistelrooy's ability to stop the ball, protect the ball, and maneuver in a small range are definitely top-notch!
The reputation of "the king of the small penalty area" is not for nothing. If Ruud van Nistelrooy cannot stop the ball under the pressure of the defender, protect the ball, and then use maneuvers to open the gap, no matter how good his shooting skills are, he will not be able to shoot. Can't be the efficient shooter everyone fears!

What Ronando wants to learn is precisely to stop the ball, protect the ball, and move around in a small area.

Van Nistelrooy's stature is slightly taller than Ronando's, and his anti-collision ability is above average. These characteristics are actually very close to Ronando's. Among the strikers that Ronando has come into contact with since he came to Europe, he is the closest to his own physical characteristics. forward.

During the Benfica period, although the striker Nuno Gomez had a good relationship with Ronaldo, Nuno Gomez was a real "soft-footed shrimp". He prefers to "dodge and fight", and rarely confronts defenders head-on. Such characteristics are obviously not suitable for Ronando, who has rough feet.

If Ronando has the ability to practice skillful dribbling movements, then there is no need to bother, and he can directly say to Ferguson: Let me do it!Others including Rooney, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Giggs all step aside!Give me two helpers to restrain, and let me do the rest alone, and I promise to bring you back the championship!
This is not bragging!If Ronaldo had the footwork like Nuno Gomez, he could really deal with the entire defense line by himself!
As long as Ronaldo can bring the ball to the penalty area line and then turn on "Three Seconds God", he can have 7-8 offensive opportunities in a game. I believe it is not outrageous to score 2 goals. In the Premier League What is the concept of averaging 2 goals per game, then you can almost compete for the league championship, plus other players on the team can focus on defense, is it difficult to win a championship?

However, all this is just talking in a dream!

Ronaldo only started to participate in football training when he was over 17 years old. It is no longer possible for him to develop the superb footwork of the Portuguese Super League striker. In his life, if he can finally develop skills comparable to the rough striker of the Premier League, Even lucky.

Ronando is self-aware that he has no unrealistic desire to become a master of dribbling, but he can choose to specialize in a few movements.

Just like what he did in the Portuguese Super League period, specializing in "electric rifle", the so-called practice makes perfect, other skills can be better, but housekeeping skills must form combat effectiveness. In order to achieve this goal, you must practice diligently and choose a goal Afterwards, use diligence to make up for weakness, practice more times, and naturally become proficient... Others practice a hundred times a thousand times, he will practice ten thousand times and one hundred thousand times...

"The most important skill of a center is to stop the ball! Stopping the ball is the key. The time left by the opponent is very short. You must unload the pass within the shortest possible time. This is very important. ! If you stop big, the referee will think it is a stalemate and turn a blind eye to the collision of the defender... You know, under the brutal collision of the Premier League defender, it basically means failure!"

Van Nistelrooy is not a good teacher. He has played in the top league for nearly ten years, but it is probably the first time he has taught someone to play football.

However, Ruud van Nistelrooy has enough experience and vision. When he carefully watched a few moves of Ronando, he immediately called a stop. What ball control?What small-scale maneuvering?If a striker can't stop the ball, no matter how skilled he is, he has no chance to use it.

Stop the ball!You must first learn the technique of stopping the ball with one foot. Only when you can practice the technique of unloading the ball from your teammates to your feet as soon as you stretch out your foot, can you be qualified to talk about other things...
