Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 242

July 2005, 7 was not only the first day that Ronaldo entered the Manchester United first-team training ground and showed his extraordinary ability in front of all the players. For him, there was another more important meaning. This day , he met Roy Keane, the legend of the Red Devils, and began to forge a deep friendship.

Many years later, Roy Keane wrote in his second autobiography "My Manchester United" -

"It was a memorable day. When I first saw him, I liked him very much. But all of us didn't know how good this guy with an oriental face was. Darren ? A day to become more mature."

"It was a hugely important day for a lot of people in the Manchester United collective."

"When we were sitting in the semi-open box of the Red Devils bar, I looked at him through the raised glass and found that he only had a very sparse mustache on his lips. Ryan and Gary both encouraged him, and Ryan also joked. If the two of them become the wings of Manchester United, they will be a pair with the largest age gap in the league. They are 14 years apart. Unexpectedly, Ryan's guess came earlier than everyone thought..."

Roy Keane's first autobiography "I am not a villain" was written in August 2002. At that time, he was forced to leave the Irish national team and planned to retire. At that time, he was 8 years old. For a player It is said that it is a bit early to write an autobiography at the age of 31. Usually players will publish their autobiography after retiring as a summary of their career.

But Roy Keane had the opportunity to write a second autobiography, all thanks to his "guy with an oriental face".

Many years later, several people here have achieved or are becoming famous, and every time John O'Shea and Adam Exley met Gerald Peake, they always clamored for the old handsome guy to treat him and apologize. The reason is simple, neither of them appeared in Roy Keane's "day to remember", and their absence was a complete accident.

That day, Gerard Pique found a beautiful woman in the bar, so he ran up to strike up a conversation. Adam Eckersley didn't want to see the Spaniards pissed off and made trouble with the past. John O'Shea thought it was interesting and followed the past Do Adam Exley a favor, so the three of them disappear from the big event of this simple but important Red Devils pub party...  

Of course, there are many fans who speculate that these three people did not appear in Roy Keane's pen because none of them served as the captain of Manchester United. The reason why Roy Keane wrote about this party has another meaning. This is the first meeting of Manchester United's most outstanding captains old and new in the early 21s, which has great symbolic significance.

Ronando showed his ability in training, not only praised by Ferguson, but also shocked Queiroz.

After careful study, the Manchester United assistant coach thinks that he may have made a small mistake. He has not considered the issue of Ronaldo, since they are compatriots, and he "brought" Ronaldo in. Manchester United, he also arranged adaptive training for Ronando, all of which have connected them together. If Ronando ended in failure, wouldn't it be a huge blow to his reputation?

Once Ronando leaves Manchester United in a panic, Queiroz will also be considered a culprit for the failure of Manchester United's investment!

"Cristiano, Sir Alex Ferguson invited us to his house for dinner this Thursday. I proposed this to him. He asked me to tell you that he should have had a good talk with you before the team assembled, but because Things have been too busy and have been delayed... Well done! I'm so proud of you and I think with your quality, playing a role in the right wing of the first team is very much deserved!"

"Really? Mr. Carlos, thank you so much!"

"Haha, work hard, don't think that Ferguson is narrow-minded, and I am not narrow-minded... Come to my house for dinner tonight? Let me have a taste of your cooking. How about it? Do you remember the cooking skills? I heard that in Portugal At that time, many people were proud to eat the dishes you cooked."

During the training break the next day, Queiroz found Ronando and said this to him kindly.

Ronando is very happy, he knows that Queiroz is trying to repair the relationship between the two people, but this is also something that Ronando would like to see, Roy Keane and other big-name players in the team make friends with him It's one thing, Queiroz is of course also an important figure, and even a great help for Ronaldo in the first team. They are now all lost and all prosperous.

Ferguson invites you to dinner?

Ronando thought it was a bit funny. The Scots' approach was a bit similar to that of the Chinese. They used private contacts to get closer to their players, but this was also something that Ronando wanted to see. He came to Manchester for half a year In January, he hadn't even spoken a few words to Ferguson. This is definitely not the treatment of an important player, and Ferguson invited him to dinner, which means that Ronando has reached a certain status in Ferguson's mind.

Speaking of Ferguson's desire to control his players, it seems a bit terrifying. Roy Keane and others told him some anecdotes the day before.

The first thing is to say that "the whole of Manchester is old Ferguson's spies", which means that no matter what Manchester United players do in this city, they can't escape the eyes and ears of this old Scottish man. If he still shows up in a certain bar from time to time, he may be scolded by Ferguson the next day!
The second thing is even more unusual, unique in the league.

Last summer, when Rooney transferred, Ferguson added a clause that Rooney had to place his home "near" Ferguson's house so that Ferguson could keep abreast of his situation... As a result, Rooney could only bring his girlfriend Ke Lynn lives in a house in Cheshire, south of Carrington, which is only 20 minutes' drive from Carrington, but only 300 yards from Ferguson's famous old house!
Ronando was very glad that he was just an ordinary player, otherwise, the old Ferguson would let him live a few hundred yards away from his home, and it would be troublesome!
He also wanted to let Yang Xiaotong live with him after he came to Manchester...Of course, his reason was to take care of him conveniently, so as to prevent Yang Xiaotong from feeling lonely because he was unfamiliar with the place...But, Ronando is still a little bit Worried, judging from Ferguson's many eyes and ears, no matter where he and Yang Xiaotong choose to live, they will definitely not escape Ferguson's eyes. What should I do?
Old Ferguson is a "moral model". If he knew that Ronando was living in the same house with a "woman other than his girlfriend", he would definitely yell at him!

Manchester United only got No.3 in the league last season, so they need to play the third qualifying round of the Champions League this season. The opponent is Debrecen, the champion team from the Hungarian First Division. This game is The club's actual opening match, on August 8, before the Premier League's first game, should not be missed.

In order to familiarize themselves with the style of the Central European teams, Manchester United only arranged an official warm-up match before the "Asia Tour", against the runner-up team Slavia Prague from the Czech Republic.

On July 7, the second training day after Manchester United concentrated, Ferguson arranged for the team to conduct their first joint training.

This joint training has a special meaning, because for the first time, the players were distributed red vests symbolizing the main force, or blue vests symbolizing the substitute. In a sense, the current position of most players is his in Ferguson's mind initial positioning in .

Goalkeeper: No. 19 Edwin van der Sar

Forwards: No. 10 Ruud van Nistelrooy, No. 8 Wayne Rooney
Midfielders: No. 11 Ryan Giggs, No. 14 Alan Smith, No. 16 Roy Keane, No. 24 Darren Fletcher

Defenders: No. 4 Gabriel Heinze, No. 5 Rio Ferdinand, No. 26 John O'Shea, No. 2 Gary Neville

It was a star-studded 4-4-2 lineup with only two young players, Darren Fletcher in 11 and Wayne Rooney in 1984, out of a total of 1985 players who either He has proved his ability last season, or he is a real big name.

Of course, the players who can wear the blue vest of Manchester United's substitute are also unusual. At least these players already have the capital to settle down in Manchester United.

Goalkeeper: No. 1 Tim Howard

Forwards: No. 9 Luis Saha, No. 42 Giuseppe Rossi
Midfielders: No. 23 Kieran Richardson, No. 18 Paul Scholes, No. 15 Jose Kleberson Pereira, No. 22 Cristiano Ronaldo

Defenders: No. 27 Miguel Silvestre, No. 6 Wes Brown, No. 26 Phil Bardsley, No. 29 Adam Exley
It is reasonable that Ronando was selected for the substitute team. Darren Fletcher, who lost in the heads-up, was still selected for the main lineup. Why couldn't Ronando be a member of the substitute team?

Of course, there are actually differences in the bench lineup, some are hard-core substitutes, and some are the main players in the rotation. It does not mean that entering the bench team will often get opportunities to play.

But Ronando, the substitute right midfielder, makes people feel a little mysterious. He has replaced the two players who originally participated in the competition for this position, and directly became the second candidate for the right midfielder!If that's the case, it's unusual because he's the youngest player on the team.

Ronando's ability to snatch this position has a lot to do with his single challenge victory over Darren Fletcher the day before, but there is another important reason.

Manchester United's right flank is precisely the weakest part of the team. Darren Fletcher is young, Brazilian midfielder Jose Kleberson Pereira is more defensive, and his offensive ability is slightly insufficient. South African midfielder Quinton Fortune's ability is also unsatisfactory.

Ronando came, Jose Kleberson Pereira was squeezed into the middle to serve as a substitute midfielder, Quinton Fortune didn't even put on the blue waistcoat, and went to the sidelines to meet the 18-year-old Gerard? Pique as a companion.

Gerard Pique is one of the few players who are crying. Although he claims to be all-round in the backcourt, but Manchester United's defense is too strong. He didn't grab any position. He can only watch Ronando And Adam Exley, the two "little friends" ran onto the court wearing blue waistcoats.
