Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 179 Soy Sauce and the Protagonist
The final week was the most important match of the 2004-05 season in Portuguese football. The significance of this battle is beyond doubt. As the center of the battle, Benfica cannot be quiet even if they want to.

First, the interview van of the Portuguese national TV station drove in, and all the main players had to cooperate with them to make a promotional video and speak boldly to the camera.

Immediately afterwards, the interview car of the UEFA Competition Organizing Committee also came. It was also a promotional video, but only the three most important people were interviewed, that is, the three captains and vice captains of the team. They will serve as representatives of Benfica , appearing on UEFA's official website.

Ronaldo: "This is my first professional season. I am very honored to be able to enter the Europa League final. The opponent is a traditional giant team from the Premier League. This is also the first time I will face An English team, I am very excited. If I want to say a personal wish, of course it is to score goals! I think it is a precious gift for a young player like me to be able to compete with a legendary England striker like Alan Shearer. experience of."

Ronando behaved very low-key, no longer as arrogant and unscrupulous as when he first entered the league, but gave enough respect to his opponent team and stars.

"The Benfica Red Eagle not only changed his name, he also matured."

"This is the performance of a majestic player! Ronaldinho is quite a general. He is only 17 years old. This is a blessing for the whole of Portugal!"

"Bless him, don't care if he is Ronaldo or Ronaldo, he is a legend."

Few people know the real reason why Ronando "sold" to Newcastle United and Alan Shearer. Judging from Ronando's consistent performance, he should clamor crazily and vow to step on Alan Shearer , that is the true state of the Madeira monster.

However, because Ronando's performance on the court is so legendary, no one can go back and make any suspicions about him.

Whatever CR22 said, it was true!He should be fully supported!

In Chinese terms, that is "iron fans" and "brain fans". Countless Portuguese fans have become loyal fans of Ronando and choose to support him with all their strength.

On May 5, two days before the match, Ronaldo's approval ratings rose to new heights in Portugal.

On this day, Luis Felipe Scolari, coach of the Portuguese national team, announced the call-up list for a new batch of national teams. The opponents are Slovakia and Estonia.

In other words, in the 2006 World Cup, Europe won a total of 13 places to participate, and all registered countries were divided into 8 groups. The No. 8 with the first place in the 2 groups and the two best results will directly advance to the final week. The remaining 6 No. 2 Catch and fight, the winner will also advance.

Portugal is in Group C. There are 7 teams in this group. Among them, Portugal, Russia, and Slovakia are stronger. The other four teams basically belong to soy sauce.

The group stage has played 7 rounds so far. Portugal and Slovakia also ranked first and second in Group C with an unbeaten 4 wins and 3 draws and 15 points. Portugal has only two more goal difference advantages than its opponents. In the first match between the two sides at the end of March, Portugal drew 3:1 with Slovakia away.

From the above situation, it can be clearly seen that this battle between Portugal and Slovakia is very important!

If Portugal loses to Slovakia, their prospects for qualifying will be very bad. Even if they maintain a complete victory in the next 6 rounds, they may lose the top spot in the group!

Therefore, the composition of the national team this time will be the most prudent one for the new national team, which largely determines the basic lineup for the World Cup in Germany in the future.

The national team coach Scolari announced a list of 18 players + a reserve list of 5 players. In this list, Ronando's name is impressively listed!
Portugal international!Fight for the country!

Ronando finally used his almost perfect performance in the past four months to conquer Scolari. He broke his way among the thousands of professional players in Portugal and grabbed an international spot!Although this list is certainly not Portugal's final list for the World Cup, participating in such an important battle definitely shows that he has been appreciated by Scolari.

However, regarding the release of this national team list, Ronando's selection is not the biggest hot topic, at best it ranks second.

The hottest focus is No. 10: "Angel Figo returns to the Portuguese national team! Red and green jerseys are approved after [-] months!"

Luis Figo is the absolute boss and spiritual leader among active Portuguese players. He is called the "angel" of Portugal!
In the 2004 European Cup final, Portugal lost to Greece and finished second. At the time, Figo, 31 and a half years old, announced his withdrawal from the national team. In the ensuing World Cup qualifiers, he never appeared in the national team list. , participated in the national team competition for the first time.

Figo's return has made the Portuguese media jubilant. Everyone generally believes that this is great news for the national team. With Figo, defeating Slovakia will be easy.

Of course, there are very few people who have reservations.

Figo is a big name, unparalleled in Portugal. He was the first world superstar introduced after Real Madrid implemented the "one-year-one superstar strategy". At that time, Figo had played for Real Madrid for 2000 seasons in 5. He has successively won the titles of European Footballer and World Footballer, and is also regarded as one of the absolute contributors to Real Madrid's Champions League and two league titles.

However, Figo did not have a good time in the season that just ended. Not only did he only score 3 league goals throughout the season, he was also idled in several key games at the end of the season. Consider selling this 32-year-old "old superstar" to make room for young people!

Therefore, Figo returned to the national team this time, to a large extent, because the club was not going well and wanted to find comfort in the national team...

Among those who hold this view, there are quite a few Benfica!
Simao, Nuno Gomez, Fernandez, Ronaldo, Jose Moreira, this time, Benfica has gained a lot in the 23-man roster, occupying 5 places, not only 3 old players were selected, And there is a pair of young players, Ronaldo and Fernandez, who were selected for the first time, but at the same time, it is a pity that defender Luis Miguel and veteran midfielder Pettit were not selected.

Among the 5 people selected by Benfica, Simao is the only natural starter. Nuno Gomez, Fernandez and Ronaldo may compete for the qualification. Goalkeeper Jose Moreira is the third goalkeeper. In the 5-person reserve list, it belongs to soy sauce.

Figo's best position is right winger, who can play forward and attacking midfielder at the same time. He poses a threat to both Ronaldo and Nuno Gomez.

Of course, it is Ronando who is most threatened. Figo returns to his position. The best result for Ronando is to serve as Figo's substitute. He even needs to compete with other wingers. If Figo's performance is acceptable, Ronan It's normal to hang around with the national team this time, and in the end, you can't even get 1 minute of playing time!
For the national team, Ronaldo is a standard rookie. In the eyes of many people, he is similar to Fernandez and is defined as the future of Portugal. The nature of the same, is to make soy sauce...

Newcastle United reached the semi-finals of the Europa League last season. This result is much better than Benfica's stop at the top 32 last season.

How great is Alan Shearer?He was the undisputed number one killer in England in the 90s. Even the two and three consecutive championships of the golden generation of Manchester United could not conceal his brilliance. He was the top scorer in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons from 1994 to 1997. No.3, the top scorer in the European Cup, the best player in the Premier League, the best team, the Outstanding Contribution Award, the British Football Hall of Fame...the honors received are too numerous to count.

The most important thing is that by the end of this season, Alan Shearer has scored a total of 246 goals in the Premier League, which is the undisputed number one. He has scored 34 league goals in a single season, which is the Premier League record. The first player to score 100 goals, the first player to score 200 goals, and the only player to score more than 100 goals for both clubs, including 130 goals for Blackburn and 192 goals for Newcastle United.

An unrivaled goal machine!For Alan Shearer, scoring a goal is really as easy as drinking water!
The only thing Ronando can compare with Shearer is only one.

Alan Shearer's first top league hat-trick was in 1988 when he played for Southampton at the age of 17 years and 8 months, while Ronaldo's first hat-trick came against Southampton in March In Maltimer's game, the age also happens to be 3 years and 17 months...

The two super shooters with an age difference of 16 years and 11 months have of course become the focus of media attention.

Although it is said that the 17-year-old Ronando was selected for the national team and is about to start his international journey, the media is not optimistic that he will play an important role in Scolari's national team immediately. On the contrary, in the upcoming Europa League In the cup final, he is a natural and important role. To a certain extent, he is more important than the teammates of the two veteran international players, because judging from the situation of the previous Europa League games, he is Benfica's "foreign war" pillars of the.

Portuguese media: "Portugal's miracle boy has just embarked on his journey, and he will issue a strong challenge to England's former European top scorer. The 17-year-old Ronando is not inferior to his English predecessors, and he has also completed A masterpiece of league hat-tricks, he will become an important force in European football in the next ten years just like Alan Shearer back then."

ten years?Yes, Alan Shearer represents the past, any star will be ravaged by age, there will never be immortality.

Alan Shearer announced his withdrawal from the England national team in 2000 and removed the captain's armband. In the following years, his goals have shown a trend of decreasing year by year. By this year, he only completed 7 league goals. , This shows that Alan Shearer is really old, and it is time for him to call the curtain.
