Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 132 Poor performance?

The current Portuguese Super League situation is very delicate!

里斯本竞技在17日的欧联杯16强次回合较量中，1：0小胜米德尔斯堡，这样他们就以总比分4：2淘汰了对手，和本菲卡携手杀入了欧联杯8强。

This round of the knockout round dragged on for a long time, and the last match between La Liga Villarreal and Romania's Steaua Bucharest was scheduled for this Sunday.

However, among the top seven qualifying teams, there are two from Portugal, one each from the Netherlands, Italy, England, Austria, and France. That is to say, in this year's Europa League, the Portuguese team is the most eye-catching. The country that won two quarter-finals seats!
Such a situation made the Portuguese media quickly wake up from the shadow of Porto's Champions League exit. Everyone desperately circled around Benfica and Sporting Lisbon, analyzed the results of the quarter-final draw, and sent people to inquire about the information of several other teams. Excited, temporarily left the league's top team Porto aside.

Precisely in this round of the league, there is a most important contest on Sunday, with Sporting Lisbon playing against Porto at home!
Both teams have just gone through a brutal battle. The only difference is that Sporting Lisbon won and Porto lost. At this time, if Sporting Lisbon beats Porto with all their strength, it will be a standard counterattack success. They will Overwhelming Porto's 50 points with 49 points, surpassing Porto in points for the first time in several months!
As for the other two teams, they are also god-sent opportunities.

Boavista ranked second with 48 points, this round against the mid-range team Penafiel, and Benfica with 47 points. The scores of these four teams are intertwined, and the situation is in a mess...

In a word, in the 26th round of the league, it is estimated that it is impossible to determine who can win the championship, but it can be seen who cannot win the championship!

Which team lost the chain at a critical moment. With the last 8 rounds left in the league, it is absolutely difficult to recover the score. This year's Portuguese Super League can be described as the most intense year for the championship. All four teams have hope, two in the north and two in the south, it really makes people anxious...

※※※

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Jose Moreira
Forward: No. 21 Nuno Gomez
Midfielders: No. 4 Luis Luizao, No. 19 Pereira Iverson, No. 22 Cristiano Ronaldo

Midfielder: No. 13 Alcides, No. 37 Manuel Fernandez,

Defenders: Ricardo Rocha No. 33, Panagiotis Fessas No. 14, Ze Roy No. 39, Luis Miguel No. 23

Benfica is really desperate, except for the left forward Simao who can't play anymore, and the 30-year-old main left back Manuel dos Santos is exhausted, and the other positions are on the main lineup. Strong strength comes to the lion to fight the rabbit.

According to the words of Italian coach Trapattoni: "The last game before the national team match day, even if you are in a hurry to go to the bathroom, you have to hold back! Regardless of the game situation of the other three teams, Benfica itself will definitely Can't fall behind!"

In fact, this is also the case. The situation of the top three in the Portuguese Super League is more difficult than the other. If anyone can't survive, the previous efforts will be in vain.

Benfica's game time is 21:15 in the evening. Another match between Boavista and Penafiel was held two and a half hours earlier today. As a result, the Benfica game has not yet kicked off, and that game is over. , the news came that the disappointing Boavista actually scored 1:1 with their opponents. Now their total points are 49 points, which is comparable to Porto, which has one game less, and is better than Benfica and Sporting Lisbon. Only 2 more points.

"The Black Panthers are really stupid! They didn't have the drag of the European War, so the chance to top the list just flew away like this?"

"Leave them alone, we must play well! Every point counts. This year's champion may be just one or two points apart!"

"Isn't it just right that Boavista can't play well? We haven't won the championship for 10 years, and we want to win the championship!"

"Beat Setubal! Don't let the opportunity slip away!"

The Benfica players were in high spirits and temporarily forgot their fatigue completely. This made the head coach Trapattoni nod his head straight. With a sigh of relief, today's opponent Setubal is of average strength, but he is not a soft persimmon. He will not go all out Fate, if there is a disgusting draw like Boavista, who will be in a good mood during this short "holiday"!

※※※

Setubal is a crazy offensive team. Sometimes they will put all available troops into the offense, leaving only a few defensive players in the backcourt, and they don’t pay much attention to returning to defense. Offensive instead of defensive, if they encounter a solid defensive team, they will often lose. This feature has won the love of many fans for Setubal, but at the same time it has suffered a lot.

However, even if Setubal knew his own weakness, he couldn't change it.

On the one hand, after the team's style is formed, if it is changed rashly, it may end up in a situation where the defense cannot be defended and the offense will be lost. On the other hand, Setubal is not a rich team, and the entire Portuguese Super League lacks excellent players. Defensive players, they have no money to keep good players, they can only use this extreme offensive method to keep fans and let the team survive.

Benfica still uses Ronaldo's side as the main attack point today, supplemented by Luis Luizao on the left.

In the previous tough battles, Ronando's performance even overshadowed Simao's limelight. Against a team like Partizan Belgrade, Ronando can become a sharp knife. A strong team, isn't it easy to catch?
But, in fact, the result was just the opposite!

Not only did Ronando not become an offensive weapon, but he became a burden to the team!

"Benfica No. 37 Manuel Fernandez flying to steal the ball, he intercepted the ball before 27 Pedro Ferreira, pushed the ball! ... No. 22 Cristiano Ronaldo received the ball! The player In the past two months, he has shined brilliantly, occupying an important position in Benfica's frontcourt attack group. His scoring ability is amazing, and his performance of scoring goals in almost every game makes the entire Portuguese football tremble! "

"No. 22 Ronaldo dribbles the ball more, beautiful and handsome toe pokes the ball! This action has become the representative action of this super rookie nicknamed Ronaldo. He crossed the defense of No. 29 El Bafim like a whirlwind... 8 No. Helio Susha arrived, Bigfoot made a clearance! The ball was intercepted..."

Ronando on the court stopped depressed, looked helplessly at the ball flying away, and sighed!

The game lasted more than ten minutes, and it was not the first time that he was intercepted by Setubal players. Even if he rushed past one or two defenders, he would still be intercepted in the end. Break through the siege and bring the ball near the penalty area...

Such a poor performance was in stark contrast to the narrator's praise of him, which made him blush!

Is Setúbal's defense strong?Worse than the Belgrade Partisans?

How is that possible!Setubal is a team known for crazy attacking, not known for crazy defending!
On the contrary, in addition to Ronaldo's poor performance, the other two offensive players of Benfica, Pereira Iverson and Luis Luisao, have been like ducks in water, repeatedly dribbling the ball and successfully breaking through. Together, Gomez formed a powerful attack that threatened Setubal's goal.

So why did Ronando have such a hard time?
Setubal's defense, in terms of football, is relatively "amateur". Players can position freely and play in a rush. Anyway, when the team starts to attack, many people will rush forward desperately. So, don't Pay attention to what defensive position is, who is in what position, and just start intercepting on the spot.

Pereira Iverson and Luis Luizao are both Brazilian players with exquisite foot skills. In this kind of chaos, they have a clear mind and can always find the loopholes in Setubal's defense and use their foot skills to insert into the gap , or pass the ball into the neutral position to a teammate.

However, Ronando has no such ability!

His characteristic is that he rushes fiercely, rushes fast, and accomplishes it overnight. However, Setubal's defense line stands relatively forward, and there are always several defensive players in front of Ronando, and because of his current reputation Loud, and once he catches the ball, Setúbal's players will rush forward without thinking about it.

In this way, Ronando will be in great trouble. He waded through a player, and there was another one in front of him. The space for wading the ball is small, and the possibility of being intercepted doubles.

Even if Ronando kicks the front court by himself and fights for speed, that won't work!When he arrived, the ball had already been destroyed by the defender...

"GOAL! GOAL! G————O—————A————L——————————L————————————————— ——L!!"

"Oh, excuse me, I'm a little excited... Benfica's attack is indeed very subtle, No. 4 Luis Luiza made a wonderful pass into the penalty area, and Benfica forward Nuno Gomez jumped up and received the ball with a header. Picking the ball and turning around, this move is so cool! He knocked down the defensive player No. 15 Oni Fastino, and then followed up with a low shot. The ball went under the arm of the goalkeeper No. 12 Teboyas. network……"

The players on the Benfica field excitedly hugged each other to celebrate, and the Benfica fans who followed the team to the away game in the stands were also cheering.

Setúbal’s home stadium, Borphem Stadium, is a multi-functional stadium. It is not very large and can accommodate 21500 spectators. Moreover, because there is a circle of runways on the four sides of the stadium, the stands are farther away from the lawn. The atmosphere of this stadium is worse than that of the Stadium of Light. It's far away, but the Benfica fans wearing red jerseys in the stands still made a loud noise to encourage the players on the field.

If Benfica maintains such a score until the end, then they will be in a strong position in this season's league championship. Who is not happy?

However, Ronando couldn't be happy!
It can be said that the team's goal has nothing to do with him!
The breakthrough with the ball is the work of two Brazilian teammates. The last shot is Nuno Gomez. At best, Ronando is just attracting part of Setubal's defensive force on the right. Who will do this task? It will be all right.
