Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 313 Returning to Lisbon

"The heroic Ronaldinho has returned from England!"

"The Spears of Manchester United come back with honor from Manchester United, Cardini celebrates with the whole city!"

"The first striker to succeed in the Premier League! He's a Super Saiyan, he's Ronando."

It has been two months since Ronaldo's name appeared in the Premier League Manchester United team squad. One and a half months ago, when Ronaldo faced the Czech team Prague in Manchester United's first warm-up match of the new season Slavia came off the bench and scored a goal. Benfica and many Portuguese fans rejoiced.

For so many years, although Portuguese football can be regarded as heroes, there are almost zero forward players who can successfully land in the Premier League and achieve outstanding performance!
Ronaldo set a precedent, proving that Portuguese strikers can also gain a foothold in the fiercely confrontational English football!
As for Ronando's background, no one cared about it at this time.

In 2005, the Portuguese football world was not in good hands. The golden players of Figo’s generation were already old, and the new generation of star players, including Paulo Ferreira and Ricardo Cava who played for Chelsea, were on the back line. I can talk about it a little bit, but among the offensive players, except for Andre who is doing well in Barcelona, ​​others, including Figo's transfer to AC Milan and Pauletta in Paris Saint-Germain, are faintly declining.

At this time, Ronaldo, who transferred from Benfica to Manchester United, can successfully gain a foothold in the Premier League Manchester United within more than a month, which is surprising!
Five games, 4 goals and 3 direct assists?This is god-like data!

You must know that Manchester United is far from comparable to Benfica. Although Porto of Portugal still ranks No. 11 in this year's European club rankings, not far from Manchester United's sixth place, everyone understands that the actual Not to mention Manchester United, even the influence of the mid-range teams in the Premier League, the Portuguese club can't match it!

Manchester United is a real giant, even if he only wins the third place in the Premier League, it is an absolute giant.

When Ronando's flight arrived at Lisbon International Airport, countless media reporters and fans came outside the airport terminal to welcome their hero back.

Eusebio, the spiritual leader of Benfica, came forward to organize the welcome ceremony. The dark-skinned old man with a smile on his face showed his inner excitement.

For the 62-year-old Eusebio, being able to become Ronando’s nominal teacher in his later years is really satisfying to the extreme. There is a blank, which makes the Benfica Club the natural home of Ronaldo, and Eusebio is like Ronaldo's father, enjoying people's blessings and praises.

Just as excited as Eusebio was the little girl Carolina. Everyone knew that the little princess of Lisbon was almost the biggest bond between Ronando and the city.

The glory of Ronando is also the glory of Carolina. Countless Lisbon fans hope that Ronando will become "Lisbon's son-in-law" soon!
Today, in Portuguese football, the most popular coach is undoubtedly Mourinho, and the most popular player is Ronaldo. His reputation may still be Bifigo, Rui Costa, Andre Deco, etc. People are lower, but he is only 18 years old, and his beautiful life has just begun, but this kind of advantage is unmatched.

Just imagine, after Ronaldo has honed in Manchester United for a few years, will he have a lower status in European football than the previous generation of Portuguese stars?

At the beginning, people called him "Little Ronaldo" because they hoped to use the name "Ronaldo" to accumulate some popularity for Portuguese football. What is the name of the gardener's son in remote Madeira, as long as he is a Portuguese player, that's enough!

"I'm back. I didn't embarrass Benfica, the fans who supported me!"

Ronaldo is not a fool. Of course he knows the importance of fans. This statement is not entirely false. The fans of Benfica and Portugal are his strong backing.

When Ronando, who walked out of the airport, said these words, there was thunderous applause at the scene!
What is a big star?That is, when he sneezes, countless people will be alarmed. It is no exaggeration to say that Ronaldo has become an absolute star in Portugal by taking advantage of Manchester United, catching up with Benfica's two big brothers Simão and Nuno Go Max has truly become a popular niche in Portuguese football.

This feeling is really enjoyable. Ronando, who came out of a small county in mainland China, finally realized his star dream after half a year of hard work.

Only by joining a big-name European club can you quickly gain fame. Ronaldo's case also proves how urgent Portuguese players want to go abroad.

"Ronando, haha, congratulations on everything you did at Manchester United!"

"Captain! I'm so happy to see you. This time I can work with you and Brother Nuno again. I really miss the time when we won the championship last season!"

"Okay, don't miss it, we all have to look forward. We may appear as opponents in the future, haha, I feel that the Atletico Madrid team also has a future."

"That's natural, the Madrid duo, can there still be a holiday? Captain, when we meet in the European arena in the future, you have to let me go."

Ronaldo returned from England and was invited by the Benfica club to live in the youth team dormitory where he used to live.

With Ronaldo's current status, the club has already prepared a better residence for him, but after learning that Eusebio still kept him in the youth team's dormitory, Ronaldo immediately expressed his willingness to return to the dormitory of the youth team. live there.

So, a group of old teammates from Benfica flocked to the small dormitory.

In just a few months, Benfica hasn't changed much. Except for Ronaldo's transfer to Manchester United, the team captain Simão also left the team and became the transfer king of Portuguese football this summer. Most of the players are still here.

In the 2004-05 season, Simao achieved the pinnacle of his career. Because he led Benfica to win the Triple Crown as the captain, he won the Portuguese Golden Globe Award, which is the best player in the Portuguese Super League. This honor is second only to In the Portuguese Player of the Year Award (Portuguese Footballer), this summer, he also got his wish to step abroad for the second time and transferred to the La Liga powerhouse Atletico Madrid for a high price of 2000 million euros.

Compared with Figo and Ronaldo, Simao has more obvious technical advantages, but what he lacks is physical confrontation ability. La Liga is the most suitable place for him to show his talent.

The captain Simão left, and Nuno Gomez naturally became the leader of Benfica this season and took over as the captain. However, Nuno Gomez is a little regretful. He failed to transfer. The main reason here is the first It is because he is not as dazzling as Simao, and secondly, in order to maintain the basic stability of the team, if the trident leaves at the same time, Benfica will lack a pillar. Once the competitiveness in the league collapses, it will not be worth the loss.

Fernandez, Ze Roy, Ricardo Rocha, Pereira Iverson... These former friends have told Ronando about their experiences during this period, and even had conflicts with Ronando before. Benfica's young players such as Horacio and Luz Wandel are also very enthusiastic.

Today, Ronaldo is undoubtedly a model of the new generation of Portuguese young players, and he is also the leader of the Benfica youth training system.

Compared with Overmars, Hugo Vialli, Postiga and other young players who have not had a successful transfer experience, Ronaldo, who has initially gained a foothold in Manchester United, can be said to have made a solid move for Benfica. According to the actual publicity, all the students of Cardini's youth training department have risen with the tide, and they have a lot of face.

Talk about parting with friends, attend a welcome banquet hosted by Benfica for him, and meet Xiao Biesheng's newlywed Carolina.

On the 28th, Ronaldo watched the grouping ceremony of the 2005-06 UEFA Champions League group stage on TV.

On the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, there is a small principality covering an area of ​​only 1 square kilometers, which is called "the country of gambling", "the country of pockets" and "the country of small stamps". That is the Principality of Monaco, and the main city of Monaco is Monteca. Los Angeles, this is a famous casino, and together with Las Vegas and Macau, it is called the world's three major casinos.

Piazza Grimaldi in Monte Carlo, this is where the draw ceremony will take place.

According to the club rankings in the first five seasons, eight teams including Real Madrid, AC Milan, Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Arsenal are divided into the first tier, while Chelsea only ranks among the 32 teams. No.14, falling into the second tier team, Benfica from the Portuguese Super League, although they won the Europa League last season, they were only ranked in the fourth tier team.

Before the official start of the draw ceremony, UEFA announced the best awards for European football clubs in 2005.

The Premier League dominated UEFA's best awards last season!

Most Valuable Player of the Year, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard who won the Champions League!

Coach of the Year, Chelsea's Jose Mourinho!

Among the final winners of other awards, Chelsea from the Premier League also got a bumper harvest: the best goalkeeper was won by Chelsea's Czech goalkeeper Petr Cech, and the best defender was awarded by Chelsea captain John Terry.

In the 2004-05 season, the Premier League was thriving. Chelsea and Liverpool shared many honors. Although Liverpool only won one award, the Most Valuable Player of the Year is the most valuable award in this award. This trophy is worth three of Chelsea. seated.

In contrast, Serie A and La Liga each got a piece of the pie, the best midfielder: AC Milan's Brazilian midfielder Kaka, the best forward: Barcelona's Brazilian striker Ronaldinho.

From this, we can understand why Mourinho is so upset. His Chelsea has won the most awards. Apart from failing to win the Champions League trophy, he was brilliant in European football last season, but even so, he can only be ranked No. Second-tier teams, everyone knows that UEFA has always had "hidden rules" in the UEFA Champions League grouping. The Premier League teams from the British Isle are basically at a disadvantage. Now that Chelsea has not become a seeded team, the schedule may not be easy.
