Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 371

At Old Trafford, the game was extremely fierce, and the competition on the court was evenly matched.

Manchester United's power in the frontcourt is two forwards and two full-backs. The two sides have become the team's main attacking points. This is really a Portuguese-style team. as an aid.

Correspondingly, Blackburn turned out to be a similar style of play, two technically excellent full-backs became the protagonists on the pitch.

The "red and yellow card team" Blackburn is really developed!

Relying on the number advantage of the five midfielders, Blackburn and Manchester United fought brilliantly and did not fall behind. The trend of this game showed a trend of fighting dragons and tigers, which shocked countless football experts: Manchester United played Out of the normal level, and the level that Blackburn showed, is it their normal level or supernormal performance?
The game went on until the 28th minute of the first half, when the evenly matched situation on the field showed signs of loosening.

Blackburn central defender No. 2 Lucas Neal, in the game, was rough on Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy. During the press, he hit Ruud van Nistelrooy's back hard with his elbow, causing Ruud van Nistelrooy to stumble and fall!
"Beep!!"

Referee Mike Dean on duty showed the first yellow card of the game, warning Blackburn player Lucas Neal.

Thanks to Mike Dean's warning to the two teams before the game, although the game between the two sides was fierce today, the foul actions of the players were not very bad. Minutes before the first yellow card was shown, which was already a bit unexpected.

In other words, before the start of the game, Blackburn coach Mark Hughes quietly gave Robbie Savage an opportunity to ask the team not to worry about fouling when necessary, but the players on the field are not fools. Ben played smoothly, and none of them would foolishly take the form of malicious fouls to get cheap.

Since it is possible to win, why risk a red card for fouling?
"Lucas! Be careful. The form is good today, don't take cards needlessly!" Blackburn's captain and left back Andy Todd muttered angrily.

"Oh!" Lucas Neil just agreed noncommittally.

Rough teams are not necessarily all rough players, and rough players, no matter which team they go to, will still stick to the rough style of football.

Although among these Blackburn players, several players in the midfield are the most famous for their toughness, but in fact, among all the players, there are others with the darkest feet. Central defender Lucas Neal and striker Ke Reg Bellamy is such a character.

Lucas Neal, nicknamed "The 13-Yard Executioner", was selected for the Australian national team at the age of 18 and participated in the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Since then, he has become an important member of the Australian men's football back line. He is tall , can be called an all-round fighter on the defense line. If the Australian team can finally win in the World Cup qualifiers this year, next year's World Cup in Germany will be the World Cup debut of the 27-year-old defense wizard.

Although Lucas Neal is often criticized for needless fouls, he is a wizard who can single-handedly defend any type of forward!

Today, it is precisely because of his tight marking that Manchester United's first striker Ruud van Nistelrooy is quite uncomfortable, and it is difficult to get a chance to score. Now, a foul by Lucas Neal not only gave Manchester United a free frontcourt. The ball is also because Lucas Neal is likely to relax his defense against Van Nistelrooy after being dyed yellow, so that the balance of power between the two teams will gradually be broken...

"Manchester United No. 24 Darren Fletcher pass! No. 22 Cristiano Ronaldo running on tiptoe! . . . beautiful! Ronaldo's stop is clean and the ball is solid Stopped by him! Recall that when this young Portuguese star first appeared in the Manchester United team, it was difficult to stop the ball under the pressure of the opposing defender. We can find that this player has been training for more than a month. What progress has been made!"

"The Red Devils Manchester United is always a place where people can be trained. This season, not only the Portuguese star Ronaldo, but also several other young players in the team are also growing rapidly!"

"Darren Fletcher, Kieran Richardson, Gerard Pique, these young teenagers have become pillars of talent. With them, the Red Devils Manchester United will once again become the best team in the Premier League. A team with leadership qualities!"

The commentator at Old Trafford, of course, will not hesitate to praise Manchester United players.

Among Manchester United's young players, Ronaldo's progress is visible to the naked eye. In the Premier League opener just over a month ago, Ronaldo played against Everton's Italian defender Alessandro Pistone. Under defense, he couldn't even stop the ball steadily. How embarrassed Ronando was at that time.

However, after more than a month, Ronando has been able to stop the ball under his feet while running.

This is a huge improvement!If a striker can't quickly stop the ball in a sports game, he is a standard waste!

Whether Ronaldo is a waste, or whether he is the magnificent but weak Portuguese winger in the impression of most fans, the South African midfielder Aaron Mokoina has the most say at this time!
The reason why the tension between the players on the court today is that apart from the long-cherished wish between the two teams, that is the "personal grievance" between Aaron Mocoina and Ronaldo.

In Blackburn's double defensive midfielder configuration, Aaron Mokoina is on the left, just in opposition to Ronaldo.

Relying on the good habit of collecting detailed opponent data of Premier League teams, it is certainly impossible for the strong South African midfielder Aaron Mokoina to be ignorant of Manchester United star Ronaldo. It is foolish to think that Ronaldo is a weak Portuguese style winger, afraid of violent physical confrontation.

On the contrary, Aaron Mokoina already has a deep understanding of Ronando.

Kong Wu is powerful and quick-moving, but his footwork is shockingly rough. This is not a guy that can grow in the soil of Portuguese football at all. This is a different kind.

However, Aaron Mokoina still deliberately stimulated Ronando in the player channel, which almost set off a large-scale player brawl.

Players who are facing each other on the field, as long as the defensive side has a chance, they will definitely provoke the offensive player on purpose. This is already an iron law on the football field. Usually, the defensive players put on a fierce posture. , Threatening to intimidate offensive players in order to gain benefits on the court.

Ronando's basic skills are poor, but his anti-collision ability is very strong. It seems that Aaron Mokoina's provocation is unreasonable.

Aaron Mokoina's thinking is not the case. First of all, the South African does not think that he is weaker than Ronaldo in terms of physical confrontation ability. Secondly, and more importantly, any player who does not have solid basic skills must be afraid of being beaten Press!

Just imagine, when a player stumbles and stumbles in completing all technical moves without encountering a press, how confident is he when he encounters a press?
However, after actually getting on the court, Aaron Mokoina knew very well that he had miscalculated!

If it is said that Ronando's basic skills are not good, the basic skills of this thick and strong Aaron Mokoina are also not very solid!

The two players on this side of the Blackburn Stadium, one attacking and one defending, are both rough brothers. Lu is in stark contrast.

Ryan Giggs is of course superb at his feet, and Turkish midfielder Tugaj Klimoglu is similar to Robbie Savage. They are not players who rely only on their bodies, but on their minds and consciousness , Card positions, etc. are more in line with the characteristics of the technical level, and physical fitness is only a secondary aspect. Therefore, the contest between Ryan Giggs and Tugaj Kerimoglu is very entertaining.

This is not the case for the pair of rough brothers Ronando and Aaron Mokoina!

Muscle vs. Muscle!Arms entangled, sweat swaying... The strong Aaron Mokoina likes close-fitting defense, while Ronando, who is on the offensive side, has no choice but to passively engage in close combat with his opponent.

This way of competing with each other, logically speaking, should be more beneficial to Aaron Mokoina. His defensive position is naturally not as good as that of the team's big brother Tugayi Kerimoglu. After having a larger space for action, Aaron Mokoina's strength advantage will be greatly reduced. Therefore, his best choice is to prevent his opponent from getting the ball space.

However, Ronando's physical strength exceeded Aaron Mokoina's expectations.

At the same time, there is something that makes Aaron Mokoina even more unexpected. Ronando's ball-stopping skills have been greatly improved. It's not a big problem to barely stop the ball on one side!
Once Ronando has a chance to stop the ball, the contest between him and Aaron Mokoina will be decided!
Ronando's explosive power is stronger than his opponent's. His sudden force activation made Aaron Mokoina, who turned relatively slowly, helpless!

The so-called defense is a net, and it must be comprehensive. Even if one part is easy to be broken, the entire defensive net will easily lose its effect... This is the disadvantage of the defensive side. In a team's defensive formation, there must be no There is a soft crotch, and with a soft crotch, no matter how strong other positions are, it is just an empty joy.

The unlucky Aaron Mokoina has become the soft crotch in Blackburn's midfield defense!

"No. 22 Cristiano Ronaldo! The sudden start after receiving the ball!...Facing the strongest player in the Blackburn midfielder, the Portuguese teenager Ronaldo is not timid at all. He is in a head-to-head contest with his opponent , the result is that Manchester United wins!"

"The same strong body, even better starting speed!...Ronando dribbled the ball forward, and he got rid of the opponent's entanglement!..."

Blackburn's defense has a numerical advantage, but it is impossible to play more and less in every place. Based on the normal thinking mode of "Manchester United's right flank is weaker than the left flank", the basic situation of Blackburn's defense today is It is to pay attention to the right side and relax the left side appropriately.

Therefore, Ronando, who won the one-on-one competition, became the important chess piece for Manchester United to break through the opponent's defense...
