Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 250 Young Czech Team

As a new aid for the season, Ronando does not have the qualifications of Van der Sar, so he can justifiably enter the starting lineup, but his luck is not bad. At least he has entered the 7-man substitute list and is eligible to sit on the bench to watch the game.

With Ronaldo sitting on the bench at the same time, there are also main and quasi-main forwards like Alan Smith and Luis Saha. Even if these two people are on the bench, what else can Ronaldo be dissatisfied with?

Sitting on the bench with these three forwards are goalkeeper Tim Howard, midfielders Kieran Richardson and Jose Pereira, and defender Wes Brown.

Obviously, Ferguson's intentions can be seen from the composition of this substitute lineup. His layout of the team's back line has basically been settled, but he still has different plans for the striker combination, including the three forwards starting today. There are a total of 18 players who are suitable to be forwards in the 6-man roster!
In other words, since this game is a warm-up match with foreign teams, the internationally accepted 7-man bench quota system is adopted, and the number of substitute seats has also been increased to 5 people.

If this is a Premier League game, it would be sad. There is a strange rule in this league: only 5 substitute players are allowed on the bench!
This regulation of the FA has already caused complaints, because except for the Premier League, other mainstream European leagues all have a 7-man bench system. Don't look at just two less substitute places, but for the head coach's deployment. Array is a big problem.

Among the five substitutes, except for the substitute goalkeeper, there are actually four left, and these four must take into account all positions on the field. How difficult is this?

Therefore, in the Premier League, in addition to super masters, those generalists are the most popular. For example, the "super substitute" of Manchester United in the past few seasons, Phil Neville, the younger brother of the Neville brothers, is a versatile midfielder. He can also play as a guest defender at all times, so although his number of starting games per season is small, at the end of each season, people will find that his total number of appearances is actually one of the best in the team, even surpassing many absolute main players .

From a certain point of view, Ronando is also a versatile player. He can play any position on the forward line, and if he is in a hurry, he can also play any position in the midfield.

Today is Saturday, and the game is scheduled for 19:[-] in the evening. This time period belongs to the prime time in the Premier League. If a certain team’s game is scheduled at this time, it will definitely attract many fans to watch, and the TV ratings will also increase. Substantially improved.

However, even with such an arrangement, Manchester United's first warm-up match was still tepid.

Manchester United wore traditional red shirts, white shorts, and white socks. They looked very energetic. The visiting team, Slavia Prague, was dressed in white.

Goalkeeper: No. 29 Matus Kosashik
Forwards: No. 16 Pavel Forte, No. 18 Dusan Svento

Midfielder: No. 7 Stanislav Vicek, No. 6 Martin Ratka, No. 20 Lucas Jarolim, No. 14 Patrick Glion (captain)

Defenders: No. 12 Ivan Kovac, No. 24 Pete Zapojnik, No. 21 Jerry Studyk, No. 4 David Hubacek
It can be said that there is no well-known European player in the starting lineup of the visiting team Slavia Prague. It is no wonder that since the split of Czechoslovakia, the Czech domestic economy has declined. Seriously inadequate.

Among the big-name international players in the Czech Republic, stars such as Petr Cech, Nedved, Baros, Jankulovski, and Jan Koller are still very famous.

The Prague Slavia team that appeared at Old Trafford showed a characteristic. They played young players in many important positions. The warm-up match is entirely for the purpose of running the team.

Slavia Prague is too young!
A pair of partners on the front line: high center Pavel Fote is 22 years old, and hidden forward Dusan Svento is 19 years old.

In addition to these two forwards who are very young, there are two players under the age of 20 in the Slavia Prague team, namely central midfielder Martin Latka is 20 years old and central defender Jerry Studyk is 19 years old.

In other words, there is no way for the Czech clubs. Their situation is far worse than that of the Portuguese Super League clubs. Portugal can often sell players at higher prices because of its reputation as a European Latin faction, but the Czech teams are far behind. It belongs to the lowest level in terms of star training. It is often a player who has just shown his ability and is lured away by clubs from other countries with very low prices.

The domestic economy in the Czech Republic is in decline, the clubs benefit little, and the players cannot be sold at high prices, forming a vicious circle. Fortunately, Czech football has a solid background and young stars emerge in endlessly, which can maintain the Czech league at a high standard.

In the first game of the season, Manchester United's starting players collectively took a group photo on the sidelines.

Ronando looked at the eleven lucky ones from a distance. There was no way. Manchester United's starting players were all famous players. Even Rooney and Darren Fletcher, two young players, had their own talents. The reason is that Rooney is Ferguson's "godson" and Fletcher is Ferguson's "translator".

If a player wants to be valued by the head coach, the biggest factor is not to curry favor with him, but to have real skills.

Just like during the Benfica period, what relationship can Ronaldo have with Trapattoni?He even often made troubles with old Italians, but the Portuguese media would still say sourly that Ronaldo was Trapattoni's "illegitimate child".

In other words, as long as Ronaldo can show the same scoring ability as Benfica, he can also become Ferguson's "godson"!

Manchester United's offensive is very fierce. Although their midfield is only an inverted triangle position with the front two and the back one, these three players are all very skilled at handling the ball. Roy Keane sits in the back. His physical fitness It holds up very well this summer and doesn't give people the feeling of aging at all.

Many people said that when Roy Keane was running all over the field, Manchester United's defense was like a steel shield.

In the glorious period of Manchester United in the 90s, Cantona and Beckham were the most beautiful, but everyone who knows Manchester United knows that the most indispensable figure in this team is Roy Keane. He was the cornerstone of Manchester United's standing. If Ferguson was strategizing off the field, Roy Keane was the uncompromising commander-in-chief on the field.

Roy Keane, who will be 34 years old in less than a month, is not as capable of attacking in the back row as he used to be.

However, his tackles and robberies are still accurate and effective. Under his leadership, Manchester United's midfield handles the ball in an orderly manner, and there is no disadvantage of having a small number of players.

Ryan Giggs, who was pushed to the left winger position by Ferguson, is also very brave. Although he is also a veteran who is nearly 32 years old, his speed advantage is still obvious, showing physical fitness that does not match his age.

Ryan Giggs has a characteristic. Whether he plays as a winger or a winger, he has a wide range of running, covering almost the entire left wing. This is very different from Rooney, who is a right winger. Rooney's range of activities is generally In the frontcourt, he rarely drops back to the midfield to receive the ball, but he prefers to use his strong body to attack the penalty area.

Also playing well is the veteran midfielder, Paul Scholes, who is nearly 31 years old. Hit a tree 100 yards (about 90 meters) away with the ball, it must be Paul Scholes!

With Roy Keane in command, Paul Scholes' go-between, and Ryan Giggs' charge on the wing, Manchester United's offensive was like a wave.

It can be said that in the Manchester United team, the three veterans have played the role of the mainstay. With them, Manchester United is an out-and-out strong team!

"Manchester United's attack, No. 18 Paul Scholes turned the ball deftly and avoided the interference of the opponent's players. This player gave Manchester United enough spirituality in the midfield. Ham is a master passer, and the accuracy of long passes is not inferior to that of David!"

"The midfielder of Slavia Prague is the front two and the back two. The defensive level is very clear. No. 14 Patrick Glion, the captain of the team, is a strong central midfielder who can attack and defend well. It is also the core of Slavia's midfield... Patrick Glion fell to the ground and shoveled!"

"Paul Scholes fell! No. 16 Roy Keane caught up and passed the ball!...The referee signaled the game to continue. The current situation is favorable for the home team!"

"No. 11 Ryan Giggs receives a pass from Roy Keane! Slavia defends him with 24-year-old midfielder No. 20 Lukas Jarolim... using his body to defend !The defense of Slavia Prague is very tough, and the defense is also very good...David Hubacek, the No. 4 right back, rushed up!"

"Ryan Giggs bigfoot transfer!"

"On the right! No. 8 Wayne Rooney is competing with defensive player No. 6 Martin Ratka! Both sides are also young players who are only 19 years old. Czech player Martin Ratka was once trained as a central defender. Because he is very tall, reaching 190cm... This player has a very burly physique, and he will not suffer at all in the fight with the small tank Wayne Rooney! Martin Ratka took the lead!"

"The ball was touched! Wayne Rooney fell to the ground, and the ball flew into the penalty area! ... Slavia defender Jerry Studyk rushed to the ball and made a header! ..."

Manchester United has achieved the level of "fluency" in organizing offense, but Slavia Prague, from the Czech Republic, defended impeccably, using layers of orderly defenses to prevent Manchester United from scoring the ball. danger zone.

Facts have proved that the Czech team is very adaptable to the impact style of play in the Premier League.

Strong body, excellent running ability, and tacit cooperation between players are the magic weapon for the Czech team to win, and such characteristics are precisely immune to the Premier League teams. Don't look at Slavia Prague in the Czech League. It can only be ranked between 2nd and 4th for a long time, but it is not easy for Manchester United to easily win this team.
