Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 444 Make Another Bet
English football is a mature football market. In this regard, we can see how mature this market is from the fact that the UK can make football a national business card and successfully promote football as a commodity to the world. In other words, everything that a complete market should have is here.

In England, football is closely related to people's lives, and what can connect football with fans, apart from games and stars, there is another indispensable thing: awards.

Especially the awards that allow fans to participate in the selection can easily increase the participation of fans and increase the loyalty of fans to their favorite teams or stars.

At the end of each year, it is time for the selection and presentation of world-recognized awards such as the World Footballer, Golden Globe, and Golden Boy Awards. However, these most important awards are too high-level, and there are too few players and teams that can participate. Extensive participation in some important awards in English football, such as: Fans' selection of Mr. Footballer of the Year, Team of the Year, Player of the Year, etc., are all at the end of the season, that is, from April to May every year.

Therefore, in order to fill the gap in the awards at the end of the year, countless English media took action. Their approach is: organize awards by themselves and let fans participate!

This is a smart approach. It can not only increase the sales of the newspaper, but also increase the attachment of readers. It can also make your newspaper more famous in English football and win the favor of more football clubs. This is a multi-purpose move. What you have to pay is only a trophy, or simply a medal, and an award certificate. The stingy media only need to get a cheap silver-plated ordinary medal to fool them. If such a thing If you don't do it, you can only say that you are a fool.

Therefore, whenever the end of the year is approaching, such as the "Daily Mirror" Young Player of the Year Award, there are countless.

Sometimes, some big-name football stars don’t even know how many similar awards they have won. Anyway, when the media notifies me to accept the awards, if I meet a famous newspaper, I will go if I want to. If I don’t want to go, let my agent If you are not willing to come forward, even the agent is not willing to come forward, then let him go, anyway, if you are famous enough, no one will come out and accuse you of playing big names.

Just like Darren Fletcher said, even he doesn't like the "Daily Mirror" youth player award, let alone Ronaldo now?

However, Ronando found that this award was very useful to him!

Now Ronando needs to maintain his vigorous combat effectiveness at all times. The so-called greater the pressure, the stronger the motivation. Since Darren Bent of Charlton has challenged him, he should fight!The purpose of the challenge is not to choose the young player award for the dispensable fans, but to quickly restore the desire to fight through the contest with Darren Bent.

After the national team match day in November, Manchester United still played a week of double matches. This kind of game rhythm is already the norm for a team like Manchester United. Unless they voluntarily give up a certain event, otherwise, the busiest match in Europe If you study Manchester United's schedule carefully in a season, you will find that if the team is in the end in all competitions, it will be fully scheduled for almost a season, excluding the only few players. With the exception of one game a week, they are all double games!
No wonder some people say that the Premier League giants are well paid, but they are also the most difficult to mix, especially for foreign players.

The league is highly competitive, the schedule is tense, there is no winter break, there are many rainy days, the fans are harsh and like to make trouble, the lace tabloids are hard to parry, the referee protects the shortcomings, the coach likes to use local players... almost all troubles cannot be avoided in the Premier League In other words, if a foreign player can mix well in the Premier League, he will definitely be able to go smoothly in other European leagues.

United's first game after the break is away to Charlton, a south London side, on 11 November.

After the regular training on Friday is over, it is Manchester United's weekly fixed time for players to accept media interviews. Of course, if Manchester United happens to participate in an away game on Saturday and needs to start early because of the long distance, this time will be brought forward. But if it's normal, it's Friday, after training.

"Son, although I don't want to add to your pressure, I have to tell you that there is still more than a week left until the voting deadline for the Golden Boy Awards. The next two games will have no impact on your ranking in the Golden Boy Awards." , is very important! So, go and show your determination to the media now, or you can put it this way, you are the strongest young man in Europe!"

The above are the original words of the old Ferguson to Ronando: the strongest young man in Europe!
If someone can push the time back four months, they will be surprised to find that the positions of Ferguson and Ronando seem to have been reversed in one direction!
Four months ago, when the press conference for Ronaldo joining Manchester United was held hastily in the press hall of the Manchester United club building, Ronaldo, the protagonist, was left on the spot for half an hour and no one cared about him. When the press conference was about to end, Ronando was questioned by reporters. At that time, Ronando answered confidently. He said that he would become the most scoring young player in the Premier League.

At that time, the media all over England laughed at him crazily, thinking he was a lunatic.

The crazy Ronando made a bet with many media on the spot that if he can't become "the young player with the most goals per unit time" during the winter break, he will leave Manchester United and return to Benfica!
The craziest player in the history of Manchester United, the craziest player in the history of Portugal, and even the craziest player in the history of Europe, and the result of Ronaldo's arrogance is to let Ferguson leave him in the reserve team and leave him alone. I just don't want to care about his life anymore. If it weren't for Ronaldo scoring a goal in Manchester United's first warm-up match of the new season, his Red Devils career might have ended before it even started.

Now, four months later, Ronando has become the main player of Manchester United's first team. He represents Manchester United and the Premier League, and went to Europe to compete with Barcelona's Messi for this year's Golden Boy Award!
Such a huge contrast, if it was four months ago, who would have guessed it?
This season, he played 13 times and scored 10 goals. This is the number of goals scored by Ronaldo. The total number of goals is even higher than that of Rooney. However, Rooney, who joined Manchester United a year earlier, is worth as much as 2700 million pounds. There is a huge difference. Even if the time difference of one year is removed, Rooney's transfer fee is 5 times that of Ronando. Not to mention, Ronando's key goals are more than Rooney!

"Yes! I value the Daily Mirror's Young Player of the Year award. And I don't think I'll lose to Charlton's Darren Bent on goals. Again, I would Bet! If I lose, I will give up any award selection for the season! But if I win, I hope you don’t forget to add a sentence in your news reports: The new Manchester United will definitely restore the glory of the 90s!"

After four months, when Ronando said similar things again, no one publicly laughed at him anymore!

When Ronaldo said that he would not lose to Darren Bent in terms of goals, that meant the same thing as he said before that he would become the most scoring young player in the Premier League.

After the first 12 rounds of the Premier League, Charlton's Darren Bent ranked first among young players in the league's top scorer list, scoring 7 goals, followed by Ronaldo 6 goals, ranked second!And Manchester United's Wayne Rooney only ranked third with 5 goals.

Why do you say "you can be called a young player"?Because Darren Bent was born in February 1984. Strictly speaking, Darren Bent is now over 2 years old, and he does not belong to the category of youth players!

However, when the "Daily Mirror" first created the Best Young Player Award, a mistake occurred. Their age was calculated according to the year, rather than the current accurate calculation based on the player's date of birth. In order to appear independent, the "Daily Mirror" did not correct this error, but advertised it as a feature with great fanfare, which caused Darren Bent, a player who is actually 22 years old, to be eligible to participate in the youth league. Player awards.

Now, Ronando himself has ranked first among Premier League players under the age of 21, but he has gone a step further and expanded his comparison standard to the 22-year-old Darren Bent.

However, even so, no one dared to directly laugh at Ronando's overreaching!
Just rely on the key goals scored by Ronando in the Champions League!Just because Ronaldo can now represent the Premier League, he will wrestle with Barcelona's Leo Messi to compete for this year's European Golden Boy Award!Such a player, if he is a bit arrogant, what's the problem? Who can guarantee that Ronaldo can't surpass Darren Bent in the number of goals in the remaining month of 2005?

"Wow!~~" The media reporters present applauded Ronando's arrogance!

"Mr. Ronando, I wish you good performance in the next two games, beat Messi!"

"Well done lad, we have your back!"

"Portugal CR22! Now you belong to England! The twin stars of Manchester United are the strongest young people in Europe! Rooney + Ronaldo, the pride of the new Manchester United!"

In other words, interviews with reporters entering the Manchester United club on Friday are different from routine league interviews. Here, the Premier League interview certificate does not work. The media reporters who rushed to the Manchester United club to interview on Friday will more or less give Manchester United some face, or they are simply the support of Manchester United. On this occasion, the reporters who dare to confront Manchester United should think about it. Will it be listed as persona non grata next time.

Ronando's speech won applause, and everyone has even forgotten Darren Bent and Charlton.

Originally, the guy from Manchester United is now wrestling with La Liga on behalf of the Premier League. Why did you Charlton come out and make trouble?And Darren Bent, you are already 22 years old, and you are here to compete with other 18-year-old players. Even if you win, it will not be too glorious, let alone, you can win?

On Saturday, the 13th round of the Premier League, the match between Charlton and Manchester United was scheduled for 15:[-] in the afternoon.

Charlton's home stadium is located in the South End of London, and Manchester is a city in the northwest of England. The two places are far apart, but Ferguson still arranged for the team to start in the morning.

The reason is simple. The current situation of the Charlton team is not good. They suffered a two-game losing streak before this, and their morale was low, especially when they lost to Blackburn with a big score of 1:4 in the last round. In the first game, the main central defender Talal Kakuri was also suspended by a red card, which made it difficult for Charlton, who had already had a disorganized lineup.

Another reason is that if Manchester United had gone through a long period of tough games, Ferguson would definitely not have arranged this way, but now that the team has just finished a holiday and the players are in good condition, it would be a bit redundant to rush to the away game one day earlier .

"Cristiano, come to play cards?" Rio Ferdinand waved to Ronando with a smile.

"No! Brother Leo, let's play...I'll watch the battle!" Ronando quickly waved his hands in refusal, and even flinched back, which caused the surrounding teammates to burst into laughter.

Rooney smiled and said, "Aren't you usually very smart? Why are your poker skills so stinky? No matter how you play, you lose. Don't you wash your hands every time?"

"Fuck you! Wayne, who said that I don't wash my hands when I play cards? If we play poker, I will definitely win the shit out of you!" Ronando argued unconvinced.

"Pig? You're a pig! What's a pig? You don't want to be like a pig, haha!" Rooney retorted unceremoniously.

"Damn you! You just learned a pig... I'm talking about a kind of card, I can't tell you guys clearly,"

Ronando had no choice but to pretend to be an honest boy. The card game that Manchester United players like to play on the bus to the stadium is called Detective, which is similar to "Big Truth", but the English people's habit of playing cards makes them As a Chinese, he can't get used to it at all. He really doesn't know how to play, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to master it in a short time. Instead of being bullied all the time, it is better not to learn it.

Darren Fletcher didn't play cards either. Seeing Ronando shrinking aside, he leaned over, handed over a newspaper, and said, "Look at this, it's about you!"

Now, Darren Fletcher is also a staunch member of Ronaldo and his clique. He had a good relationship with Rooney. Since Ronaldo provoked him and Lampard on the field, Darren Fletcher They also became buddies with Ronando, the three of them, and the defender Gerard Pique of similar age, were jokingly called the "group of four" by his teammates. In fact, Ronando prefers to be called the "gang of four". The reason, hehe!If you are a Chinese, you will know.

Darren Fletcher handed over the "Daily Mirror", which was just issued today.

"I accept the challenge!" - "Darren Bent: If Manchester United's No. 22 thinks he can surpass me in league goals, I am willing to accept the challenge! Last season I scored 20 in Ipswich Town League goals, this year, I hope I can achieve the same number. If he can't catch up with me before the end of the year, I think Mr. Scolari should question his ability, because he can't do it on his own. The most proud statistic is surpassing an England non-international player."

What does this mean?Ronando watched it twice in a row before he finally understood the sloppy English!
Nima!Darren Bent, this guy, is actually trying to provoke the relationship between Ronaldo and Portuguese national team coach Scolari!
"FUCK! This bastard! Is Lao Tzu a Portuguese international? He has half a dime relationship with him? Why is he so busy!" Ronando couldn't help becoming angry.

"Hey! You didn't understand!" Darren Fletcher laughed and said softly: "He meant two things. The first one is of course to trouble you. The second one is that you didn't see it. Is he complaining that he was not selected by Eriksson and was selected for the England national team! Think about it, he is now ranked third in the Premier League scoring list and second among English players! "

"Huh? Darren Bent is ranked so high?"

"Yeah! Don't you look at the scorer list? Henry is first, Lampard is second, he is third, you are fourth... Uh, you really don't even know this?" Darren? Fletcher opened his mouth in surprise.

Ronando really didn't pay much attention to the league goal list!
First of all, the league is only 1/3 in progress. It is too early to look at the goal list at this time. Secondly, Arsenal's Thierry Henry is still the best in terms of the number of goals scored this season. Scoring 11 goals is far ahead, and Manchester United is almost evenly divided because of Ronando, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Rooney. Everyone's goals are diluted, which looks very inconspicuous.

However, after what Darren Fletcher said, Ronando still couldn't help but feel his heart pounding.

Ronando is a guy who has always had a scoring complex. Last season in Benfica, because he only played for half a season, he missed the top three in the final league scorer list. It is a pity, but this season is different. This is Ronan In his first full season after arriving in Europe, he was on the same starting line as others.

Originally, Ronando wanted to come, and there were so many players in the Premier League. If he, a recruit, wants to enter the top three in the scorer list and win a scorer trophy, it must be very difficult.

But now it seems that this is not the case. The French striker Henry is indeed very good. He claims that scoring goals is as easy as drinking water, and he is the only core of Arsenal's striker. Almost the whole team serves him alone. He wants to reach his height. It's impossible for Ronando now, but if he can't get the Premier League Golden Boot, if he can get the silver and bronze boots, that would be great!

Lampard is a midfielder like Ronaldo, and in my impression, Lampard's early goal rate is not outrageously high.

Where is Darren Bent?This guy's scoring efficiency is really good. Like Henry, he is the main goal point of the team and has an inherent advantage. However, this England striker has basically played in the English Championship in the past. This season is also the first complete Premier League. In the season, his strength is not so strong, and his performance is unstable. It is difficult for such a player to maintain long-term stable goals.

Calculated in this way, Ronando's silver boots or copper boots are really interesting...
