Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 493 Strong Teams Are Not Strong and Weak Teams Are Not Weak
Old Trafford Stadium, cloudy, stadium temperature 4 ℃, this kind of game environment is incomparable with the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, but December in England is already a pretty good weather.

Ronando was sitting on the bench bored, staring at the court in a daze.

To be honest, he is not used to sitting on the bench, and even hates it. Since he joined Benfica in Portugal, he always felt that once he sat on the bench, nothing good would happen to his team. He was mischievous and didn't want to let him sit comfortably on the bench to enjoy his life. Almost every time the team failed to start the game, the head coach hurriedly sent him to save the game.

It feels good to be a savior, but Ronando is still willing to start. He prefers to enjoy the joy of running fast on the field rather than sit and wait.

What a waste it is to let him sit on the sidelines with such an offensive nuclear weapon!
What Ferguson meant was that Ronando not only traveled long distances, but was also troubled by an own goal incident. It is inevitable that he is temporarily in a low period. He just took advantage of the opportunity of sitting on the bench to observe the performance of his teammates more. On the one hand, recharge your batteries, and on the other hand, through observation, you can accumulate more experience.

Ronando was not impressed by Ferguson's kindness!

The trough period of wool!He, Ronando, never had any low period!Even if his mood swings are big, no matter how tired he is, he can still play a role on the court!
In the match between Manchester United and Everton in August, Ronaldo was just a new recruit in the Premier League. His overall performance in that game was very bad. It can be said that he was lost in the game and was worse than the average player. A lot, but so what, Manchester United still relied on Ronaldo's sudden outbreak to score an equalizer at the critical moment.

Ronando can be sure that if he is sent out, he will definitely perform much better than in August. He has improved, and he is no longer a young recruit who is restrained everywhere.

Tired of traveling long distances?Mood swings?
Those problems didn’t exist, thanks to Ferguson’s prompt handling and tight protection of Ronando. He was actually locked up in the youth team’s dormitory without much interference from the media. As for physical fitness, Ronando was young and strong. His body has strong resilience. After two days of rest, he has become vigorous again and is about to play a big game. It is said that he has failed to score in two games in more than ten days. Others are not in a hurry but But he is already in a hurry, he wants to be a scoring machine, how can he be idle?

However, Ronando can't argue with Ferguson about these words. The old man doesn't like his players questioning his decision. This is a sad...

At this moment, sitting next to Ronando is his "little brother" Darren Fletcher. After Roy Keane faded out of the main lineup, Fletcher, the "translator of Ferguson", has been supported by Ferguson. Reuse, whenever he encounters an important game, he is basically the natural candidate for the main midfielder, but Ronando always feels that the right position for this guy should be the midfielder, rather than shrinking behind to organize defense. Today, Fernando Letcher also got Ferguson's "care" and let him sit on the bench to rest.

"Hi! Luo... that guy Fortune performed well today, he made the Dutch winger a bit untempered." Fletcher muttered softly.

Ronando nodded indifferently and said, "Van der Meyde is not in the same state as before. Maybe he won't be able to play in the World Cup next year. He is a prematurely aging genius."

Fletcher laughed: "Oh! What an awesome Portuguese, haha! If Van der Meyde heard this, he would definitely be fuming with anger."

John O'Shea, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly poked his head over, pressed the fingers of his right hand to his lips mysteriously and said, "Oh! God! I can guarantee that the Dutchman won't be fuming with anger, he'll come with a knife kill you!"

Ha ha!I didn't expect the big Irishman John O'Shea to be so funny. Ronando and Darren Fletcher laughed together.

In other words, when Andy van der Meyde joined Inter Milan, it caused a sensation in European football. It is generally believed that it was the memorable day when one of the most outstanding Dutch wingers left his hometown and went to Europe for the first time. Proof of this, Van der Meyde became Inter Milan’s absolute No.1 choice on the right. Although his scoring efficiency is very low, he is the purest Dutch winger. , but in the next two years, he slowly disappeared.

This time, van der Meyde joined Everton, which also caused a sensation. The reason is simple. He was the best winger in the Netherlands before Arjen Robben. Since Robben can shine, will he show his glory again?

850 million pounds!Everton has spent a lot of money!This is the biggest investment that David Moyes has made since he became the head coach!

David Moyes commented on Van der Meyde like this: "He is the most talented winger in the world. He is versatile. With him, Everton's striker will not have to worry about not having a chance to score. I am looking forward to the Premier League. The second best Dutch winger, we'll see that soon."

However, more than three months have passed, and the man Vandermeyde used his actual actions to slap David Moyes in the face!
Van der Meyde didn't show astonishing talent at Everton, playing on the right at Inter but failing to compete with the arrival of Wales international Simon Davies a few months earlier. , was squeezed to the left, and Simon Davis' transfer fee was 350 million pounds, only a little over 40% of Van der Meyde's.

In the first 15 rounds, Everton missed a game, but the team scored only 7 goals in total!What is this concept?
The team with the most goals in the Premier League is currently Manchester United with 36 goals, beating Chelsea's 34 goals. Of course, this number of goals is a little watery, especially in the last round of the league. Portsmouth gave Manchester United a few goals for nothing. If you don't count the 6-0 victory, Manchester United's league goals should still be slightly lower than Chelsea's. The penultimate number of goals in the Premier League is Birmingham's 9 goals, which means Everton's goals The number of goals is not only ranked first in the league, but also 2 less than the second-to-last team, and it is only less than 1/5 of the team with the most goals.

This incident can really embarrass David Moyes!He watched helplessly that the player he bought for 850 million had already been labeled the "No. 2005 Parallel Importer in [-]"!

Today, the reason why Darren Fletcher wanted to mention Van der Meyde to Ronaldo, of course, there is a reason.

When van der Meyde first came to Everton at the end of August, he was holding back his energy to compare himself with his Dutch little brother Arjen Robben, but soon he found that it was unrealistic and the gap was a bit big .

Therefore, van der Meyde, who wanted to prove himself, turned his eyes away from Robben. At the beginning, Van der Meyer said that he had not fully adapted to the Premier League. Later, he slowly began to focus on the wingers of other Premier League teams. , Whenever Everton is going to play against another team, the reporter can always get some news clues from Van der Meyde, for example, Van der Meyer thinks that the skills of the other team's so-and-so winger are not good enough, or The passing vision is not wide enough, in short, it means that he is a little worse than him.

Van der Meyde is very careful in doing this. He speaks very reservedly, and he will not say straightforwardly that everyone must not do it, but enough is enough.

However, once or twice, everyone didn't care. After Van der Meyde said it more times, everyone understood that this guy was trying to find a sense of balance for himself...

This time, Everton met Manchester United. Of course Van der Meyde was not idle. He set his sights on Ronaldo. Now that Ronaldo is as dazzling as the sun, he is a perfect target!
Young, unstable skills, weak basic skills, and only a few months in the Premier League. These are obvious flaws. In addition, Ronando's current reputation is too loud. He is catching up with Robben and is called the Premier League. An excellent winger second only to Robben, and No.2 in the Premier League scorer list, the top three candidates for the European Golden Boy Award, such a goal, if Van der Meyde can bear it, he is not Van der Meyer.

"I hope to play against him once. He is the best right winger for Manchester United, but I think he is too young, a bit eager for quick success, put too much energy into figuring out how to score goals, which is wrong for a winger. .If he doesn't practice the basic skills now, he will definitely regret it in the future."

When Ronando read Van der Meyde's evaluation of him in the newspaper, he really wanted to crook his nose!
Van der Meyde, a shameless guy who is incapable of scoring goals, instead accuses Ronaldo of scoring too many goals for quick success. Is this committing insanity?
This means that Ronando is now grounded, and Ferguson will not allow him to be interviewed by reporters, otherwise, Ronando will definitely fight back fiercely: Don't waste your saliva!Let's go to the field to compare. You think wingers shouldn't compete for goals, so how about our assists in the game?Do you dare to compare assists with me?Everton has only 7 goals in total, how many of your dude contributed...

※※※

On the field, the visiting team Everton played fairly well, with a well-organized approach, and it was not at all obvious that this was a team that was about to fall into the relegation zone.

The personal strength of Everton players this season is actually not weak. They are just weaker than Manchester United's main lineup. When Manchester United is filled with a group of substitute players, the level of the two teams is almost the same level. From this point of view, it is not surprising that the two sides were evenly matched.

"Everton midfielder No. 18 Phil Neville passed the ball from the backcourt, No. 27 Andy van der Meyde firmly blocked the defender Quinton Fortune with his body, and unloaded the ball with his right foot The technique of stopping the ball is really beautiful!...Quinton Fortune pressed from behind to prevent Andy van der Meyde from turning around with the ball, and the two players from both sides competed near the halfway line!"

"The outside instep of the left foot is turned horizontally, and the fake move is knocked back! Move to the left again!...Andy Van der Meyde is a player with strong body, excellent skills, and a tall enough figure. He is a rare and excellent winger!"

"Manchester United's No. 25 South African player, Quinton Fortune, is not weak either. His one-on-one interception ability is very strong, and he also has the unique skill of dribbling forward with one hand. He is the main midfielder of the South African national team... Quinn Don Fortune was shaken by the opponent's fake move, but quickly reacted and moved his body quickly to catch up with Andy Vandermeyd!"

"A push with the right arch! Andy Van der Meyde forced a breakthrough!...Quinton Fortune tackled! A vicious tackle!"

"Andy van der Meyde fell! The referee Robert Styles blew his whistle and awarded a defensive foul on Quinton Fortune. A free kick from Everton..."

Dutch winger Andy van der Meyde is certainly not useless. You must know that the reputation of Dutch wingers in the world is stronger than that of Portugal. He was bought for 1200 million euros and made him the main right winger.

Strong, excellent technique, and a standard height of 181cm, these characteristics are the key to Van der Meyde's fame.

But Van der Meyde is obviously flawed, his speed is not fast enough, and he also has the usual problems of technical players: he likes to stick to the ball!

In this world, players who like to stick to the ball have become more and more difficult to mix. Even if you can play the ball well, if you can't get rid of the opposing player quickly, it is still difficult to completely break through the defensive player.

Because the average quality of today's football players far exceeds that of the last century. For example, an excellent defensive player must at least have the following qualities: strong, agile, and fierce. Although these are just three adjectives, they have these characteristics In the 20th century, he must have been a great football star, but it was very common in European football in 2005. It can be said that having such qualities is only the basis for becoming an excellent defender. Basically, there are other advantages in order to be favored by top teams.

South African midfielder Quinton Fortune, he is 180cm tall and weighs 76kg. Generally speaking, a black player with this physique has first-class physical confrontation ability. Of course, he is also agile and fierce. In addition, he can also A player who breaks through with the ball and creates opportunities for his teammates can be favored by Manchester United, but Quinton Fortune is not the main player in Manchester United.

Andy van der Meyde faced up to Quinton Fortune. The two were evenly matched. Van der Meyer could not completely break through the opponent's defense, and Quinton Fortune could not make an accurate tackle. The two were equally matched.

Today, Manchester United's formation configuration is to attack from the left and defend from the right. Quinton Fortune on the right is mainly responsible for the defense. The team's offense relies on Ryan Giggs on the right. So, Quinton Fortune Fortune was able to stalk Van der Meyde to death. This effect is very good, which is equivalent to exchanging sons between him and Van der Meyer.

Ryan Giggs + Liam Miller in the center + Gabriel Heinze, the full-back who assists forward, this is Ferguson's left and center offensive iron triangle temporarily formed to deal with Everton.

Ryan Giggs is quick, Liam Millering, and Gabriel Heinzer are fierce. The three players have their own characteristics, and their skills are also very good. They cooperate well, and their offensive power is very impressive. Center Saha and teenager Giuseppe Rossi provided strong fire support. With the ability of a team like Everton, it is difficult to completely block such an offensive.

Ferguson's prediction was very accurate. Manchester United's iron triangle offensive on the left did cause the visiting team Everton a headache, but it was only a headache and it was not fatal yet.

David? Moyes is not a fool!Manchester United's offensive posture is so obvious, he must guard against it.

The easiest way, if you can't beat you one-on-one, then use a bunch of people!Especially against Manchester United's fast winger Marian Giggs, if he can't guard against one, then play two!
Ryan Giggs, a veteran on the field, can't stand alone. Every time he catches the ball, there will be at least two Everton players around him to defend him. Everton's right side is the same. It seems to be playing quite powerfully, but there are few opportunities. Saha and Giuseppe Rossi on the front line keep running hard, but they can't catch too few shells. The ball passed by teammates was either destroyed by Everton players, or immediately trapped in heavy siege after receiving the ball, it was difficult to hit the goal.

Stalemate!In a word, the two sides have reached a stalemate, and no one has the ability to break through the opponent's defense.

※※※

Why!Why don't you send me there?Let me dash a few times on the right, David? Moyes still dare to focus on their right defense?

The two wings fly together, that's the only way to fight. For teams playing winger tactics, the most fearful thing is that one wing can't fly. In the past, the Manchester United team adopted the method of long pass from the backcourt to solve the disadvantage of the right wing not being able to fly, but today Without Paul Scholes as a passer, Liam Miller obviously can't handle this important task. His breakthrough and short pass skills are not bad, but the accuracy of long passes is a little bit worse, so the right winger Quinton Fortune did not dare to rush to the frontcourt easily, but could only wait near the midfield, and did not fight back when he was beaten.

Such a stalemate poses the same danger to both sides of the competition, both have opportunities and risks!
There are two situations that most often occur in football matches. One is that strength wins. When one side of the game clearly has the upper hand in a certain link, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Finally, this link is used as a breakthrough point to disrupt the opponent’s position. To score a goal, the second type is an accident. For example, a certain player on the field suddenly has a flash of inspiration, makes a wonderful pass, or hits a world wave. Leakages were created, resulting in deadly gaps in the defensive line.

If the game has reached the point where both sides are waiting for an accident to happen, then the outcome of the game is hard to predict.

When it comes to players at the level of the Premier League, no matter how bad a player is, there will be flashes of inspiration. For the same reason, no matter how good a player is, he can't guarantee that he will never make mistakes.

Therefore, when the game is evenly matched and the scene seems rigid and calm, it is often the time when the head coach is most nervous, because he does not know the trend of the next game and which direction it will develop. If his team suddenly scores a goal What should I do? On the other hand, if there is a sudden loophole in the defense, how should I make up for it? , many of the older ones simply have gray hair.
