Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 203

The Sintra Mountains north of Lisbon, the "Wedding City" Oeiras.

After more than two months, Ronando set foot on this tree-lined mountain town again. Everything remains the same. Last time he was a player of the U21 team, but this time, he is already a member of the national team , It is estimated that there will be no special players like him in Portugal. A young player who was only selected for the U21 team once but did not get 1 minute of playing time, put on the national team jersey!
The unpleasant experience of the U21 team last time is still vivid. This time, will Ronando go well?
Mendes drove himself to the front of a hotel next to the National Stadium. The current time is 15:4 p.m., and there are still 21 hours before the registration deadline for the national team, but a bunch of reporters have already gathered in front of the hotel. The formation is unmatched by the U[-] team. Of course, this is also because Portugal's "life and death battle" will be held in a few days.

At this time, Portugal and Slovakia have the same 14 points. Whoever wins will determine the qualification of Group C to a large extent.

"Oh! Ronaldinho, can you reveal some information about your transfer target for next season?"

"Ronaldo, do you think you will qualify for Sunday's game? Do you have the confidence to score if you play?"

"Figo has returned from Madrid and he will report to the national team tomorrow. Do you welcome his return?"

"Who do you think will be the best player in this game?"

Seeing Ronando get off the car, the reporters surrounded him one after another. Microphones and recorders were piled up in front of Ronando immediately. This scene was not much worse than the Europa League final. It can be seen that How important the Portuguese media is to this upcoming game.

Luis Figo returned to the national team for the first time after last year's European Cup, and will wear the captain's armband. This is really a painful fact for Ronaldo!

For this year's national team, coach Scolari only recruited three authentic old players of the golden generation, namely Figo, Pauletta, and Rui Costa. According to common sense, with these three players They will occupy the positions of right winger, forward and midfielder.

In other words, if Scolari plays the usual 4-2-3-1 formation, plus left forward Simao, there will be no room for the national team's four frontcourt spots!

Not only is Ronando, a junior, not qualified to start, even Barcelona's Anderson Deco may not be able to get the starting position, unless he is assigned to play one of the double midfielders, otherwise, he will also be taken by Rui Kos The tower was firmly suppressed, and of course Ronando's friend and teammate Nuno Gomez was equally embarrassed...

The competition of the Portuguese national team is very cruel. This is just a World Cup qualifier. If it really comes to the World Cup in Germany, it is estimated that it will break the lead.

However, facing the questions from the reporters, Ronando could only smile and did not dare to express his dissatisfaction at all.

"I am a junior in the national team. Whether I can play or not, of course I have to obey the arrangement of the head coach. This game is very important. If Captain Figo can come back, the Portuguese team will become stronger. I believe all our players will be very welcome. We will definitely qualify! As far as I am concerned, the national team is a strange place, and I mainly come to learn!"

Ronando's attitude is correct enough!He's a young recruit, and he's here to learn!
Of course, when he comes to the training ground, he will definitely show his abilities and let the head coach and teammates see his strength. Isn't he coming to the national team to grab a spot on the field?Even if it's Figo, isn't that still a person?
However, Ronando's low profile did not let the cunning reporters let him go.

"Xiao Luo, many people are saying that the Benfica Trident has the ability to occupy the three important positions of the national team. What do you think?" A reporter asked loudly.

Depend on!How to answer this question?

This problem is not only a personal problem of Ronando, but mainly involves the striker dispute between Nuno Gomez and Pauletta. No matter how modest this is, it will offend his future partner Nuno Gomez, but If you are not humble, wouldn't you immediately offend the two great gods Figo and Pauletta?

"This question is really too difficult for me, a player who is not yet 18 years old! I think this question should be asked to Mr. Scolari."

※※※

The national team is a vanity fair, a circle of right and wrong!There is nothing wrong with this sentence!

When Ronando just entered the hotel, he was immediately pulled over by Simao and Nuno Gomez who were waiting there. The people who were with these two Benfica captains were also very "familiar" to Ronando, that is Played for Barcelona's former Porto midfielder Anderson? Deco.

Deco, 27 years old, originally from Brazil, did not come to Portugal until he was 20 years old. He joined Porto in 1999 and played for Porto for four seasons. He quickly occupied the core position of the team's midfielder and was the champion of the Mourinho era. Last summer, he was sold to Barcelona at a price of 2200 million euros in the wave of Porto sales. His position in Barcelona was originally Ronaldinho's substitute, but eventually became Barcelona's main midfielder.

"Little Luo, hello!... Very good! You are really strong, stronger than that guy!"

Deco took the initiative to hug Ronando, and whispered in Ronando's ear: "Come on brother! Jorge told me what you think, beat him! I think you can do it!"

Ronando couldn't help crying!He is on a pirate ship, and he can't escape even if he wants to!

Deco and Ronando have another relationship. Their agent is Mendes. As for why Mendes told Deco of Ronando's ambition to replace Figo, the reason is very simple, because Deco I have always had a bad relationship with Figo, and the conflict between them is almost open. In the national team, only Deco dared to fight against Figo...

Benfica Trident + Deco, this small group came together quickly, let's call them "hooligans"!

Then, the opposite of the "no-name army" is of course the direct line army, or the Akchit + veteran international team headed by Figo.

Ronaldo learned about the complicated interpersonal relationships in the national team from Simao and Nuno Gomez very early on.

Compared with the contradictions within the club and between the teams, the relationship within the national team is much more complicated, but in general it can be summarized as two main contradictions: the contradiction between the Akchit family and the Benfica family, and the old team. Contradictions between international players and rookies.

From these two contradictions, it can be seen that the various relationships within the Portuguese national team are always inseparable from an important person: Luis Figo!

He is not only the absolute leader of the Akchit team, but also a representative figure of the old international football team. He has absolute authority and appeal. Boss".

Ronando entered the national team, and he didn't want to form cliques anymore. Where there are people, there will be fights. He naturally has an "anti-Akchit" label on him, even if he wants to join the neutral faction. impossible.

However... Ronando calmed down and thought about it carefully. It seems that their group of "non-identical troops" can be summed up in two words: powerful and miserable!
The four people present are all highly competitive in their respective positions, but the situation is not good. It can be said that except for Simao, the other three belong to the "opposition party" who wants to seize power. ? Gomez's opponent is Pauletta, Deco's opponent is Rui Costa, and Ronando's opponent is the strongest... Figo!
It may not be very comprehensive to say this. Portugal's midfielders can interchange positions in many cases. However, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are "main competitors".

However, when Ronando thought about it all, he was still very confident.

The small group he joined represents the future, while Figo and others represent Portugal's past.

This alone is enough!

The wave behind the Yangtze River pushes the wave ahead. The young generation’s upper position is the development trend. It just depends on whether the timing is right. After last year’s European Cup, the golden generation of players has basically completed the curtain call performance. When it comes to the World Cup in Germany, it should be them. Time to surrender.

If the four of them really seized the "3-1" starting position of the national team, what's so strange?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, the combination of Akchi + veteran international players represented by Figo is unprecedentedly powerful, but the stamina is really insufficient. The first to bear the brunt is the defection of Simao, a "traitor". He defected from Akchit The number of players has greatly strengthened the strength of the "no-name army".Secondly, the unexpected factor of Ronando also completely changed the strength comparison between the two forces, and completely changed the national team in this world.

In the Portuguese national team in memory, after Figo, the second boss is Ronaldo, but the current situation is that Ronaldo has become Ronaldo who is two years younger...

※※※

As long as it comes, it will be safe, and Ronando who came to Oeiras, on the one hand, has a headache for the intricate interpersonal relationship, but on the other hand, this is already much better than the situation where he was constrained everywhere in the U21 team. At least he has a few "allies" who are strong enough.

Similar to Ronando is his friend Fernandez. Both of them were selected for the national team for the first time. The reason why Fernandez was selected was a complete accident. Costinha was injured, and Fernandez, who performed well at the club, was temporarily pulled in to make up the numbers.

Under the leadership of the handsome guy Nuno Gomez, Ronando and Fernandez went to pay homage to the "big brothers" in the team one by one.

As a national football star, what you think in your heart is one thing, but on the surface at least you will not expose the contradictions like those little boys of the U21 team, and you must maintain your demeanor here!At least on the surface, everyone needs harmony.

This is actually the case. For example, the midfielder Rui Costa and the main midfielder Nuno Maniche, these people have a good personal relationship with Ronando...

However, the calm is short-lived!Soon, Ronando was involved in an unwilling dispute!

The problem still lies in the words that Ronando said when he was interviewed by reporters before coming to the hotel where the national team stayed. He thought he handled it very smoothly, but he was still caught by the shrewd reporters from the clues— —Want to pretend to be confused?low key?Our Portuguese reporters are so easy to fool!
