Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 284 On the Right Track
“2005-06赛季英格兰最大宗转会出炉！加纳全能中场迈克尔?埃辛以2440万英镑加盟切尔西！弗莱克?兰帕德、马克莱莱、迈克尔?埃辛，蓝军新赛季的中场将无比恐怖！这一转会也刷新了7月份切尔西以2100万英镑引进右边锋赖特?菲利普斯的记录，成为新的赛季转会标王！”

"England Michael Owen returned from Real Madrid today! £1600 million! After an unsatisfactory season, the chasing boy became Real Madrid's fifth striker, perhaps at White Hart Lane in London, the most talented striker in England To be able to restore his pride."

"750 million pounds, or about 1125 million euros, another one-day transfer has been reached! The 22-year-old Nigerian striker Ayegbeni Yakubu moved from Portsmouth to Middlesbrough and reached the Europa League this season. Burroughs will try to change their unfavorable situation in the Europa League."

"Manchester United's third transfer highlight is the 22-year-old goalkeeper Ben Foster from the British Championship Stoke City team joining Manchester United. The two sides signed a 4-year contract. The experienced young local goalkeeper will become Manchester United's third goalkeeper with a transfer fee of 250 million euros."

The Red Devils and Manchester United really lost their share. The third so-called "big transfer" of the season was just to buy a young goalkeeper from a Championship team. Although this deal was worth 250 million pounds, it was pure It is an investment for the future. With Ben Foster's strength, it is difficult for him to even be a substitute goalkeeper. He is only the third goalkeeper as a spare tire.

After the first round of the Premier League, Chelsea and Arsenal both won. These two strong opponents were one step ahead of Manchester United from the beginning.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho proudly proclaimed: "We are one step away from greatness because we lost a game. A new season begins, a new journey begins and Blues fans can look forward to stepping forward with us." To greatness! 100 points, unbeaten record, this is our goal!"

Mourinho has already begun to be arrogant!But he has this capital!

In the 13-year history of the Premier League, there are two great records. One is created by Manchester United in the 1993-94 season. At that time, the total points of Manchester United in the season reached 92 points. Did not reach that height; the second is Arsenal created in the 11-2003 season, unbeaten season! With 04 wins, 26 draws and 12 losses, Arsenal won the championship with an unbeaten record.

However, Mourinho has just set a record in his first year in the Premier League.

赛季29胜8平1负……赛季总积分高达95分，整整比曼联在11年前的记录超了3分，而且“29胜”本身也超过了曼联在1999-2000赛季的28胜记录，可以说，穆里尼奥的切尔西已经是英超历史上最强的一支球队。

The Portuguese coach is fully qualified to shout loudly: Whoever is not convinced, let the horse come!

Of course, Arsenal, the only one that is considered to be the biggest obstacle for Chelsea to defend their title in the league, is making a fortune silently.

The 29-year-old French midfielder Patrick Vieira finally left Arsenal for Juventus in Serie A. The transfer of the Arsenal captain made Axena Wenger earn £1000 million for the club when he bought When Vieira was 350 million pounds, and after 9 years of use, the price was 1370 million pounds!
No wonder it is said that Wenger is the most adept team manager. While he sold Vieira at a high price.Bought the 24-year-old "White Goose Lightning" Alexander Hleb from the Bundesliga Stuttgart. Although the nominal contract is as high as 1000 million pounds, it is actually a variable price contract. If Hleb cannot adapt to the Premier League, Wenger will lose very small.

Arsenal, who buy low and sell high, maintain a strong competitiveness in the Premier League. It has to be said that Manchester United is still difficult to mix in the new season.

As a strong team in the Premier League, Manchester United have a heavy task in one season. Since England has one more domestic cup than other leagues, this is the busiest league in Europe. Players don’t even have a winter break. When the end of the year began to enjoy Christmas and the holidays, the Premier League players were still playing hard.

It can be said that from the opening of the league in mid-August until the end of the league in May of the following year, Premier League players have no holidays.

Among Manchester United's several competitions, the second round of the Champions League qualifying round at the end of August, and then the group stage starting in mid-September, which is the highlight of the season.

In the English League Cup, Manchester United, as a team participating in the European League, does not need the first two rounds and directly advances to the top 32 knockout rounds, which will be held at the end of October.

In the English FA Cup, all Premier League teams will directly advance to the knockout round of 64, which will begin in early January of the following year.

Therefore, within one month after the start of the league, Manchester United is in a relaxed period of competition. They can concentrate on the normal league, and the strong teams will try their best to gain points in the first five rounds to widen the distance from their competitors. After the start of the Champions League group stage in mid-September, teams like Manchester United must devote a large part of their energy to the European war. This is an "obligation" that the Premier League teams must fulfill.

Currently, in UEFA's league rankings (rankings in European competitions in the first five years), the Premier League lags behind La Liga and ranks second, followed by Serie A. These three major leagues leave other leagues far behind. Behind them are La Liga with 73 points, Premier League with 717 points and Serie A with 63 points.

The league ranking directly affects the qualifications for the Champions League and Europa League allocated by UEFA, that is, it is related to the influence and money bags of each league, and is the most important event.

Therefore, in the leagues of various countries, there is also the ranking of each club's European competition points for this league. This ranking directly corresponds to the contribution of each club to its own league. Domestic competitions, as well as some reference factors when considering the distribution of benefits, that is to say, not only must comply with the principles of fairness and equalization of interests, but also consider the principle of priority.

As of 2005, Liverpool ranked first in the club's European standings: 115 points. This point ranks fifth in Europe, behind Real Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona in La Liga and AC Milan in Serie A.

United are sixth in Europe and second in England: 6 points.

Arsenal third, Newcastle fourth and Chelsea fifth.

Among them, Chelsea can only rank 20th among clubs in Europe. They performed poorly in the first three seasons of the first five years, but reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in the last two seasons and grabbed a lot of points. Only then did Chelsea rank among the top of the Premier League team's European war contribution list. Although their European war points are only 68 points, they are far away from teams like Manchester United, but they are now able to disdain ordinary teams.

Therefore, although the two teams of Manchester United and Liverpool are firmly suppressed by Chelsea and Arsenal in the league, they still have great influence in English football.

The glory of the club has nothing to do with Ronaldo for the time being. At best, he played two half-time games for Manchester United and scored 3 goals. Of course, there are achievements, but still cannot shake the status of other main players.

On Monday, August 8th, the Manchester United Club participated in the promotional activity of "Manchester United's official sponsor Audi AG" in Manchester.

Head coach Ferguson personally led the team and ordered seven generals to go together: Roy Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Rio Ferdinand, Gary Neville, Rooney, These seven are currently the biggest stars in the Manchester United team.

It can be seen from Ferguson's list of generals that Ronando is not yet on the list of the most important players for the Scottish coach.

However, Ronando is not discouraged. He is full of energy now, just like when he used his spare time to train hard in Benfica with friends such as Fernandez and Ze Roy. He seized all the time to "recharge" himself.

"You are crazy! Today the team is holding an event in Salford. There are many beauties and Audi's new cars. Our players can get a 9% discount. Why don't you go and see?" Adam Exley said helplessly. shouted to Ronando.

"No! Adam, didn't Pique go to play? You go with him, I have to stay and train!"

What Ronando did was extremely boring ball-stopping training, that is, standing opposite the ball machine, and catching the balls that flew out of the projection port of the ball machine with his feet again and again.

This kind of training in Manchester United's first team is usually only practiced for a while when players resume training after injury, looking for a sense of the ball, and it is rarely used by people at ordinary times... Players who can enter the Manchester United first team are all geniuses They are geniuses, they have been dealing with football since they were young, and they are so familiar with such basic training that they can no longer be familiar with it. Doing such exercises is a waste of time.

However, Ronando must make up for this lesson. According to the requirements Ruud van Nistelrooy assigned him, he must "stop the ball with one kick".

In the Premier League, signed players are obliged to cooperate with the club to complete a certain amount of commercial or public welfare activities, 8 hours per month. Such additional services are recorded in the player contract, but there are differences in participating in activities. For example, today’s commercial activities, It’s a good job. It can not only have fun, but also increase your reputation. In comparison, participating in activities like orphanages and drug rehabilitation centers is hard work. Although there are media that will follow up, it’s not as good as commercial activities .

Adam Exley saw that he couldn't say anything to Ronando, so he could only mutter: "Since you are not going, then I am not going either. You are here to practice stopping the ball, and I will go to practice strength!...Richard De, we also have to work hard, I want to get the opportunity to come off the bench as soon as possible, you also have to work hard!"

Adam Exley said hello to his younger brother Richard Exley, and the two walked towards the gym of the training center.

The facilities in the Carrington Training Center are very comprehensive. There are not only 14 large and small training grounds, but also rehabilitation areas, physiotherapy, massage rooms, hydrotherapy pools, squash and basketball courts, saunas, steam, TV recording rooms, etc. The advantage of being a first-team player is that they can use these facilities freely.

Now that Ronando has changed to practice ball-stopping skills, their training group has actually been disbanded, and everyone is doing their own thing. In short, whether to work hard or relax, it all depends on self-consciousness.
