Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 343 The Red Devil in Trouble

The 25-year-old Jan Kronkamp is an excellent defender who has emerged in Dutch football in recent years. Camp is exactly one of them.

Jan Kronkamp first appeared in the Eredivisie League, playing for Alkmaar, the newly promoted Eredivisie team that began to rise in the new century.

This is a fierce defender. Jan Kronkamp looks like a baby face, but his characteristics on the court are a bit desperate. His body is very strong, with a height of 184cm and a weight of 83KG. A full-back or a central defender, and he also has the ability to attack from the side, and can temporarily play as a full-back.

Jan Kronkamp is an expensive weapon in Villarreal's backline, as he joined Villarreal this summer from the Netherlands for a hefty €600m, a price that would be worth a lot for a player. A small team in La Liga is already a sky-high price, and Jan Kronkamp has also proved that the price is worth it through his own performance.

Active tackles at the back, as well as efficient breakthroughs from the wing, made Jan Kronkamp the core of Villarreal's left.

This time, it was because of Jan Kronkamp's timely interception that he used a foul to prevent Rooney from breaking into the penalty area with the ball, which temporarily resolved a crisis for Villarreal. More importantly, Jan Kronkamp Pu's tackle caused Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney to rage and make a mistake, depriving Manchester United of an important striker.

If it is said that Villarreal successfully breaks out of the group stage and enters the knockout stage, Jan Kronkamp's transfer fee of 600 million euros is already worth it!

"Yan, good job!"

"Haha, well done! Jan, you are a lucky general!"

Several core players of Villarreal congratulated Jan Kronkamp at the same time. Captain Quincy Alvarez hugged Jan Kronkamp's shoulder and laughed.

Rooney's red card appearance is too critical for Villarreal's defense!
Today, several young players played by Manchester United showed a high level that is not commensurate with their age. Rooney's crazy attack in the frontcourt, Ronaldo's excellent performance on both ends of the offense and defense, Darren Fletcher was full Flying midfield interception, Gerard Pique's calm and brave defense, whether it is a famous big-name star or a fledgling teenager, these four young people of Manchester United are destined to be highly praised.

However, Rooney, the most famous of the four young people, was supposed to be the leader of Manchester United's younger generation, but he destroyed himself by committing suicide!

Rooney's red card not only ruined himself, but also ruined Manchester United's game!

Without Wayne Rooney, the hidden striker, Manchester United's formation is seriously disorganized, and there is a huge gap in the connection between the midfielder and forward Ruud van Nistelrooy. Such a Manchester United will never be able to break through Villarreal's defense. The pressure on Yar's defense has weakened, and Manchester United's own defense will also undergo a severe test.

Wes Brown on the 6th was replaced urgently, Roy Keane went into battle, and Ferguson adjusted the formation on the field to a state of offensive and defensive balance, allowing Ronando to reach the hidden forward position.

3-4-2, Manchester United played a three-back tactic, which is a bit risky, because Villarreal’s pressure on Manchester United’s defense is real. Without a defender, Manchester United’s defense will be exposed If there is a loophole, once Diego Forlan catches it, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Submarine, sink Manchester United!"

"The top spot in Group D belongs to Villarreal!"

The Spanish fans in the stands were already crazy, they saw the team's hope of defeating Manchester United.

The Villarreal players on the court, like chicken blood, suddenly became more morale. At home, there is one more player. This is a very good situation. If Villarreal is in In this case, they cannot beat Manchester United, and it will be difficult for them to stand out in the difficult Group D.

The last difficult 20 minutes, for the Manchester United players on the field, it was like a day and a year!
From taking the advantage, waiting for the arrival of the first goal, changing to being completely passive, it was just a blink of an eye, all of which were given by Rooney.

Of course, no one in the current Manchester United team, from the coach to the players, has time to blame Rooney who has already left the field. They must survive this last moment.

In the 80th minute of the game, Roy Keane, who came off the bench, received a yellow card for a foul on Argentine striker Luciano Figueroa. This situation made Ferguson frown. In desperation, Ferguson Command the team to retreat!
Dutch striker Van Nistelrooy was replaced by defensive midfielder Jose Kleberson Pereira of Brazil.

With a single forward 3-5-1, Manchester United's situation is extremely passive, leaving only the extremely fast forward Ronando in the frontcourt.

Villarreal can be proud. They are already invincible. For their first time in the UEFA Champions League group stage, they were able to beat Manchester United to half-court defense and were forced to put on a counterattack posture. This has been a huge success.

However, although the Manchester United team with five players in the midfield defended hard, on the whole, it basically guaranteed a tight defense line, making it difficult for the opponent to make substantial progress.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!!"

When the whistle sounded for the end of the game, all Manchester United players were relieved.

In the second game of the Devil's schedule in September, the Red Devils Manchester United still only got a draw, and different from forcing Manchester City with an overwhelming advantage, this time Manchester United struggled to draw with the La Liga upstart Villarreal in Spain .

What's more, if it is not Gerard Pique who came off the bench, he is more powerful. He and John O'Shea formed a double-high guard combination, freezing Villarreal's most threatening striker Diego Forlan , Whether Manchester United can retreat in the Love Song Stadium, or unknown!
For Manchester United, September was not a peaceful month. Two draws within five days severely set back the spirit of the team.

Judging from the team's injury loss, Ryan Giggs and Gabriel Heinze's injury problems have not been resolved two weeks ago, and the main central defender Rio Ferdinand was injured again. These three players are very important to the team. It is important to make Ferguson's formation full of difficulties.

The Manchester United team, which hastily returned to Manchester, can be described as low morale and loss of troops.

"Will a kick that is not calm completely ruin Manchester United's new season?"

This is the "Guardian"'s evaluation of Manchester United's expedition to Spain, and the spearhead is directed at Wayne Rooney, the pillar of Manchester United's new generation of strikers.

The Guardian's accusation basically represents the English media's attitude towards Rooney. Rooney is indeed unlucky this season, or his violent temper has caused Manchester United a lot of trouble and has become a black hole for Manchester United.

Just imagine, a striker, in a little over a month, was sent off with two consecutive red cards, the probability of this is too high!

Rooney's first red card did not affect the team's results due to the weak opponent Debreson, but this second red card is different.

The situation in Group D of the Champions League is inherently complicated. Manchester United failed to score all 3 points in the first game. The current situation will definitely be more complicated, and Manchester United must spend more energy on the Champions League.

Compared with Manchester United, the other three Premier League teams participating in the Champions League group stage, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool, all won, which made Manchester United very embarrassed.

What's more serious is that it's not a big deal to lose face, and the next league will be difficult!
On the fourth day after the Champions League group stage, it was a big day for Manchester United to challenge Liverpool away.

Originally, for the two teams of Manchester United and Liverpool, the situation was quite similar. On the first match day of the Champions League group stage, they both went to Spain away. Liverpool's opponent was Real Betis, which is also a strong team in La Liga. The real strength is not below Villarreal.

However, after the Champions League game, the situation of the two teams appeared faintly different.

In the previous game, Liverpool led Real Betis by two goals in the first half. Although they were pulled back by their opponents in the second half, they generally played relatively easily.

Therefore, Liverpool is much less disturbed by the Champions League than Manchester United.

Manchester United not only suffered a loss in Villarreal, but also because they fell passive in the second half of the second half, the physical energy of the players who played was huge. These players who played are also important players of Manchester United. Appeared in Liverpool's Clasico.

Away games, low morale, injuries, poor fitness, all of these have put Manchester United into a dangerous period.

Since the start of the new season in early August, although Manchester United's performance is not very eye-catching, it has not lost a game. It has a record of 8 wins and 3 draws. There are many draws, but it can barely be counted as 4 consecutive unbeaten games. .

Could United's first defeat of the 2005-06 season be upon us?

Surrounding this Manchester United team, criticism from the media came one after another, and everything from the coach to the players was carefully scrutinized under a magnifying glass.

Is the old coach Ferguson overconfident, abandoning captain Roy Keane in the important Champions League group stage, and using too many young players at the same time, is this the reason for the difficulty of the game?

Let alone Rooney's mistakes, can he still get the approval of Ferguson, continue to withstand the pressure, and play under the big battle with Liverpool?
Losing Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand, Manchester United suffered major losses on both ends of the offense and defense. How much is the loss of combat power?
The magical Portuguese teenager Ronaldo, although he showed good defensive skills in the game against Villarreal, but he did not continue to be the team's "savior". Does this mean that Ronaldo? The magical aura on Nando's body has disappeared?
yes!Numerous facts have proved that in the field of football, real magic does not exist!

Even if they are as strong as Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho, they cannot always be the key players of their team. Any player has peaks and valleys, so it is impossible for "Little Ronaldinho" Ronaldinho The argument that the team contributes goals or assists, itself violates the laws of nature!
