Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 488 I Want To Be Willful

At the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, the home team Benfica showed a state that the Portuguese team does not often have. They launched a quick match with Manchester United!
Attack fast!Quickly return to defense!Rapid transition of offensive and defensive rhythms!
After a few rounds of offensive and defensive transitions between the two sides, even the dull Manchester United players began to notice this change in Benfica. To put it vividly, it is not a Portuguese team playing against Manchester United on the field, but a A team similar to a Premier League team is playing a game against Manchester United!
Why do you say it is a team similar to the Premier League?

Because, Benfica insisted on a fast pace only in the link of passing through the midfield quickly. After reaching the frontcourt, they still used the players' dexterous running and foot skills to find opportunities, instead of adopting the English-style power-based charge to launch a strong attack. , This is probably related to the characteristics of the Benfica players. Even the main striker Nuno Gomez is not a power player, but a typical technical striker.

fast paced?That doesn't matter at all, Manchester United will never be afraid of fast-paced offensive and defensive battles, which is in the hands of Manchester United!

The old coach Ferguson stood on the sidelines and waved calmly, directing the team to press up and retreat quickly.

In other words, today's Ferguson can be regarded as elated. This does not mean that he is sure about the outcome of the game, but refers to his personal image!
The 64-year-old Ferguson is now most disgusted by the media talking about his figure. For such an old man, he works hard every day for the messy things in the club. How can he care about maintaining his figure?However, the head coach was the key figure tracked by the TV cameras, which gave the old man a headache. Every time the old man saw a large photo of him standing opposite other head coaches in the newspaper, he would sigh involuntarily.

I think the old man was also a handsome old man in English football back then: meticulous silver hair, tall and straight figure, thin cheeks, if you don't look carefully at the creases on his face, isn't he a standard handsome guy?
However, the current Ferguson can no longer be very confident in his image, especially when he stands with the "young" Mourinho, which makes him especially angry!

Today's Benfica coach, very good!Such a head coach is very much to Ferguson's liking!

Jose Camacho, 53 years old, he was born as a full-back. He is not tall. When he was young, he had a round face. Now that he is older, he looks fatter and fatter. With a big round face, the flesh on the chin almost covered the neck. To put it bluntly, it looked like a short wax gourd.

European head coaches are very particular about "temperament". To put it bluntly, it means appearance and clothing. Camacho is not only round, but also wears a bloated coat, which is even more ugly.

In contrast, Ferguson, who is wearing a black windbreaker, can be described as "handsome and unrestrained". Does this make Ferguson not beaming?
※※※

On the field, the Benfica players retreated too quickly, which made them equivalent to hoarding five players in the midfield. Coupled with active running, Manchester United couldn't even take advantage of it for a while.

But it doesn't matter anymore!Benfica's style of play is actually overdrawing their physical fitness. When they can't run anymore, don't they just catch them?

"Run! Don't worry about them... run out of position! The ball will be at your feet!"

Midfielder Liam Miller loudly reminded his teammates, especially Ryan Giggs and Ronaldo on the left and right, and striker Solskjaer, that these three players were his main passing targets because Today, Liam Miller is taking on a task similar to Paul Scholes, that is, Manchester United's midfield commander, which is extremely important.

Liam Miller is a player who is not too old and has a low status in the team. He is now shouting at several big-name players in the team. Will no one dislike him commanding blindly?

This is the difference between European players and Asian players. If it is an East Asian team, some people may have objections to Liam Miller immediately, but European players will not. In European teams, Whether in the locker room or on the court, players like to talk. As long as what he says is related to his position on the field, no one will think that he talks too much or is unreasonable. Others will think that he is expressing his opinions. Rather than simply ordering, if other people have different opinions, they will speak out immediately.

If it is in an East Asian team, it will be different!East Asian players don't like to talk, they have something to hold back in their hearts, they will worry that they say something they shouldn't say, and others will report to the leader...

In short, due to the differences in character and system, Eastern and Western players have formed completely different styles. Eastern players are restrained, while Western players are outward.

However, the weakest link in Manchester United's midfield still encountered some big problems!
Liam Miller was at a slight disadvantage in the contest with his opponent!
No. 10 Georgios Karagunis, 28 years old, 176cm tall, is not a Portuguese player, but a typical European big man. This bearded guy is the captain of the Greek national team and led the Greek team to win the The European Cup champion became famous in one fell swoop. His footwork is definitely not as good as Liam Miller, but his tough style of play also makes Liam Miller very afraid.

Shortly after the start of the game, Liam Miller suffered a scramble and accidentally kicked Karagounis, and then began to walk around the opponent, refusing to fight Karagounis head-on !
What a tragedy!
In other words, although Manchester United's midfielder is not considered the best in the Premier League, since Roy Keane made his debut, Manchester United's midfield hardness has been resounding. Needless to say, Roy Keane himself is a famous hero in the Premier League. Paul Scholes and Alan Smith, the forwards in the team, are not strong enough in terms of physical fitness, but these two players have one characteristic, that is, they dare to fight and fight hard.

Whether it is Scholes or Smith, when the media comment on their characteristics, they will add a sentence: active running, fierce fighting!
However, Liam Miller is obviously worse than the two central midfielders who are injured today. Although his fighting can barely be called fierce, his bravery is not enough. Ernes or Smith met the Greek midfielder Karagunis on the field. After suffering a loss, even if they tried to foul, they would kick back the opponent to let the opponent know how good they are.

Liam Miller is much more immature, maybe because he is afraid of getting a card or getting hurt, he chose to use technology to deal with the opponent.

This time, the Manchester United team has a lot of trouble!

The central midfielder of a team is a very important part. He is the team's first defensive barrier and the first organizer of the team's offense. Sometimes it is often said that the player who serves as the central midfielder is What level determines the level of the team, and even the type of midfielder's ball path determines the style of the team.

For example, the well-known battle of double virtues in England, in fact, with the excellence of Gerrard and Lampard, they have no problem becoming the starting midfielder of the England team, so what are they fighting for?
The battle is who will be the central midfielder!Whoever grabs this position proves that he is better than the other person!

※※※

"Benfica goalkeeper No. 12 Quim threw the ball in the penalty area. The ball was thrown far and went directly to the feet of midfielder No. 10 Georges Karagunis! ... Karagounis dribbled the ball and charged! Manchester United midfielder 17 No. Liam Miller made an interception and he missed the ball! Nice! Karagunis made it past the interception!"

"Man Utd Midfielder No. 24 Darren Fletcher comes up! Fierce block! ... Karagounis crosses and pushes the ball to the right with his right foot! No. 9 Pedro Mantolas rushes quickly Go up!..."

Greek midfielder Karagunis is an experienced player who knows how to use his strengths!
In other words, in Benfica's 4-2-3-1 formation, the No. 10 attacking midfielder has always been a weakness. Last season, Benfica often suffered from this disadvantage. As a result, Simao and Ronando on both sides often need to rely on their own strength. Fortunately, Simao's breakthrough skills are excellent, coupled with the fact that Ronando played better and better later, the two wings of the team were formed, and finally completed the feat of the Triple Crown.

Now, Karagunis has noticed that Liam Miller is a bit soft-footed. Of course, an old Jianghu like him will not look at the advantages and not take advantage of them.

Benfica's "Mr. 500 Million" Pedro Mantolas has impressive combat effectiveness when he is in good health. He was called "African Pele" when he was 19 years old. The reason for grabbing it is that Real Madrid and Barcelona are all interested in him. According to the usual logic, as long as Benfica let Mantolas play for 500-1 years, it is easy to make millions of euros. It was soon discovered that he had an incurable rickety disease, which caused Benfica's 2 million to fall into his hands.

Today's Mantolas is in good physical condition. When his teammate Karagounis lured Darren Fletcher away from the defensive position for him, Mantolas received the ball and went straight to the Manchester United penalty area!

"Well done Pedro! African Pele!"

"Come on! Take out your skills and hit the ball into their goal!"

"Goal! Goal! Qualified! Qualified!"

The Benfica fans in the stands were encouraged by the performance of the players on the field and gave out huge cheers. They shouted "qualification", this word is now the most attractive word for Benfica people, and everyone hopes that Benfica can become Portugal It is a great honor to be the only team to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League.

A team's defensive system, it is broken, when Mantolas rushed to the restricted area, Manchester United's back line in chaos, Ferdinand and John? O'Shea rushed to Mantolas at the same time.

It looks like something bad is going to happen!
The captain of the Angola national team, Pedro Mantolas, is not a reckless man who only knows how to play football with his head down. His skills are very delicate and comprehensive. He belongs to the kind of player with all-round skills, strength and consciousness. Otherwise, it would not be possible Favored by so many giants, the reason why he stays in Benfica is because he is trapped by physical ailments. In terms of his own ability, he is not even worse than any star in the Manchester United team!

Swish!pass the ball!

Mantolas kicked the ball away, and the object of his pass was the small Italian player No. 30 Fabrizio Miccoli, the player who scored Manchester United's goal in the first leg!
Fabrizio Miccoli, nicknamed "Italian Maradona", is a fat man with a height of only 170cm. Although this guy is inconspicuous, he couldn't play in Serie A Juventus and was loaned out. But the ability is not small. Just imagine, a 26-year-old mature player, Juventus can't use it, but refuses to sell it. This in itself shows the value of Miccoli. Juventus is putting him He is raised and transferred back to his team to take on important responsibilities at any time. He is completely different from ordinary young players trained on loan.

Mantolas's pass was passed to the diagonal rear of Manchester United's central defender Ferdinand. This is a deadly behind the ball!
The players and coaches of Manchester United were stunned!
In the last round, Roy Keane and Quinton Fortune slipped inexplicably one after another, allowing Benfica to take advantage of the loophole. In the end, the little Miccoli scored the leading goal, and then the Manchester United players started I was impetuous and almost caused irreparable losses. Fortunately, Ronando scored a goal in the chaos and equalized the score. This prevented Manchester United from losing in the first home game of the Champions League.

Now, it seems that history will repeat itself again, Miccoli, who looks like a fat mouse, is rushing forward, and he is about to hit the goal!
"Three seconds God!"

At the critical moment, Ronando arrived!

I saw a white figure chasing up from behind Miccoli like lightning, and fell to the ground!Glide forward!The right foot stretched out in front of Miccoli's body, sweeping away!Kicked the ball away!

call! ... All the Manchester United players let out a gasp of relief!
It's too thrilling!Without Ronando's kick, Miccoli's shooting success rate is estimated to be more than [-]%, because, even if Van der Sar is calm and good, his chances of defending against such an opponent's player are also the same. Very low, no matter how good the goalkeeper is, he cannot guarantee that he will not be scored in a one-on-one match. This is common sense.

"Oh! What a pity!... Only a little bit! Benfica's best scoring chance today, just a little bit! The ball was destroyed by Manchester United's No. 22 Cristiano Ronaldo! He ran too far Come on, Miccoli was just a little short to touch the ball! The ball was handled perfectly by Georges Calagunis and Pedro Mantolas! This is the best performance for Benfica since the start of this year's Champions League group stage Good frontcourt cooperation!"

"Benfica would have taken the lead in this game without Ronaldo's quick return!"

The commentator Hamburg? Gomez's tone was extremely helpless. At this time, he must have hated Ronando...very much!
At this moment, Ronando was also extremely depressed!

A precious "three-second God" was wasted in this way, and he didn't even make a brilliant appearance within 20 minutes after the start of the game!

On the court today, he played even harder than in the game in September. "Dead Face" Fernandez was very faithful to fulfill his "guarantee" before the game. As long as Ronaldo appeared in Benfica's half, Fernandez must have left his position immediately and ran in front of Ronando. If Ronando stepped forward, Fernandez would let himself stick to Ronando like brown sugar.

Such defense, known in football as nanny close protection, is an extreme way of dealing with the most dangerous players.

Fernandez doesn't care about Benfica's so-called "double midfielder position". He is now performing a man-to-man task, and his purpose is to make Ronaldo completely disappear!

Fernandez's stalking has caused too much headache for Ronando. If the opponent is not Fernandez, he may use some small moves he learned from the veterans of the first team, such as giving the opponent's ribs when he is not prepared. Elbow, or take advantage of the chance of scrambling for the ball, aim at the opponent's thigh and use the knee to hit the opponent's thigh. As long as such an action is done in a concealed manner, it will not be discovered by the referee, but such a small action can cause great damage to the defensive player , especially when the defensive player is at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

Fernandez is inferior to Ronando in terms of height, weight, strength, agility, and speed. As long as Ronando is willing to attack, Fernandez will definitely be deflated and the difficulty of defense will increase greatly.

However, after much deliberation, Ronando still couldn't do it!

As a good brother at the time, Ronaldo certainly knew what Fernandez was thinking. His black brother got the chance to play for the Portuguese national team at the age of 19. He is the best of this generation of Portuguese players. How much does Fernandez want to be like Germany? It is also a good thing that the giant teams in other European countries like Cole and Ronaldo can see him. A member of the Overseas Legion.

It is also for this reason that Ronando feels that he can't make a move. Once he beats Fernandez badly, the chance of Fernandez being spotted by other European teams is even smaller.

Benfica players, especially defensive players, what game is most likely to be watched by other European clubs?There is no doubt that when they participate in the European competition, especially the Champions League, this is the best opportunity to test their actual combat effectiveness, and it is also the easiest time to win the attention of other European teams. He will feel a little guilty for losing the opportunity to perform.

Back then, before Ronando joined Benfica, Fernandez was already the main force of the first team, and Ronando was just a rookie.

Almost a year has passed now, and Ronando is already a popular star of Manchester United in the Premier League, but Fernandez is still standing still, which makes Ronando really unbearable.

That's all!Anyway, today's Manchester United does not necessarily have to win a game. Today's Manchester United can qualify if they draw, and they will qualify as the first in the group. A little bit, let yourself be a stepping stone for your brother, so what?Do you think that without Fernandez and Benfica, could he be where Ronaldo is today?
As a human being, sometimes you just have to be straightforward!Be willful!Be kind!
