Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 498

"This is Old Trafford in Manchester! A theater of dreams with a long history! Today, perhaps we will witness the most exciting moment of the season! Chelsea, which is at the top of the list, has 38 points, if the youngsters of Manchester United continue to win another game, they will overwhelm the Blues Chelsea by one point!"

"The referee for this game is Mr. Alan Wiley, an experienced international referee. Under his leadership, players from both sides entered the field! Let us welcome the boys! First, we will introduce the starting players of the visiting team Wigan Athletic..."

"Oh! The camera at the scene just captured an extremely warm picture, the box dedicated to the wives of the Manchester United players in the South Stand!... Sir Ferguson's wife, Mrs. Cathy, entered the box! She is hugging Her Royal Highness the little princess... Yes You read that right! Once again, the eldest daughter of the honorable Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York, and the beautiful Princess Beatrice, sixth in line to the British throne, has come to Old Trafford today! There she is, hugging Ms. Cathy!  …”

"Among the distinguished guests who appeared in the exclusive box, there is Miss Israel 2004 Miss Gal Gadot. It is guessed that Miss Gadot is a friend of Mr. Monster. They met at a party earlier this month..."

Next to the court, Ferguson took the lead and bowed slightly in the direction of the special box, then stretched out his arms and waved there, as a greeting to Mrs. Cathy.

Seeing Ferguson's movements, the special box immediately became lively, and there were many people waving to Ferguson, half-turning and saluting sideways, and even the young princess Beatrice took off her hat and turned towards Ferguson. Ferguson waved her arms in the direction, and beside her was the tall Gal Gadot.

"I wish the beautiful princess good health!"

"Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice, good evening!"

English people are very polite in formal occasions. When Beatrice waved, crowds of fans stood up in the stadium stands, and they took off their hats and saluted in the direction of Beatrice. In other words, England It is rainy here, and people have long developed the habit of wearing hats. Women almost always wear hats when going out, and many men also like to wear hats. When they take off their hats and salute, the whole stadium stands look like a festival A grand banquet, extremely lively.

Boxes in European stadiums may sound like boxes, but in fact they are two different concepts from private boxes, except that there are partitions on the left and right sides and the back, so that others cannot enter, and they are not much different from stands.

The fans saluted to the special box, and all the women in that box immediately became the focus of attention.

boom! boom! boom!
Ronando felt the veins on his forehead throbbing!
Today's special box for wives is unprecedentedly lively!Who doesn't know that Mrs. Ferguson's wife, Mrs. Cathy, dislikes football?The "secret" of Ferguson's family has long been a topic of conversation among English people. The domineering Ferguson is an obedient and good man at home. Cathy doesn't like football, so he is forbidden to talk about football-related topics at home. Therefore, not only Ferguson can't talk about football with others at home. Even his two sons who are football coaches and football agents are treated the same way, and they are not allowed to talk about football.

Ferguson has coached Manchester United for 19 years. When did he ever see Cathy appear in the special box of the wives?

Mrs. Cathy is here, although she may just come to show her face and run away, she will definitely not stay to watch her husband direct the team game, but this is an extremely rare first time!
The only reason for Mrs. Cathy to come here is Princess Beatrice. In name, Mrs. Cathy should be the boss of the Manchester United wives, just like her husband is the boss of the Manchester United dressing room. Similarly, because Beatrice is an important member of the royal family, the granddaughter of the current queen, Mrs. Cathy, the nominal leader of the wags, can only show her face obediently to show her respect for the British royal family.

In this way, today's Manchester United wags' box has really become the focus of the stadium. Gal Gadot's appearance there is as conspicuous as a big light bulb...

"After the game started, we saw that the visiting team Wigan Athletic did not play conservatively. Under the command of their captain, Scottish star No. 10 Lee McCulloch, they fought fiercely with Manchester United!"

"Lee McCulloch is 27 years old this year. He has played for Wigan Athletic for 5 years. This tall midfielder commander is Wigan Athletic. Lee McCulloch is a natural talent who can attack and defend well. He even broke out last season and scored 14 goals for the team, entering the top five scorers in the Championship! This year he is still Wigan Athletic The absolute core of the midfield, Lee McCulloch's performance, will determine whether Wigan Athletic can have an advantage in the midfield."

"Today, Darren Fletcher, the teenager who will play as Manchester United's central midfielder, is not only a new change for Manchester United, but also Darren Fletcher, who played as the starting central midfielder for the first time, will face a strong challenge! He His opponent is his fellow Scot, Lee McCulloch, who is six years his senior..."

Lee McCulloch, the captain of Wigan Athletic, is not a well-known player. He is certainly not as famous as Fletcher, who has the status of "Manchester United's first-team star". However, this player is not very weak. His stature He is 185cm tall and has a strong physique. He looks a lot stronger than Fletcher. The only flaw is that his footwork is weaker.

Fortunately, Ferguson sent Fletcher. If Manchester United still uses the thin Irish midfielder Liam Miller as the central midfielder, they may suffer a big loss in physical confrontation ability!

Fletcher is a player with a height of 184cm and a weight of 74KG. This body type is a typical slender type. Generally speaking, he has good running ability and dexterity. Fletcher is this type of player. Moreover, the young Fletcher Letcher is muscular and well-proportioned. Although he is not the kind of muscular stick, his confrontation ability is also very good. Except when he encounters a particularly strong player, he will be deflated, and he can usually handle it.

Lee McCulloch VS Fletcher, one is a fierce type, the other is a balanced type of technique + body, the two are evenly matched.

The strength comparison between the two sides in the central midfield position is almost the general situation in many matchup positions. The overall strength of Wigan Athletic's team is not as weak as the team's reputation, otherwise, they would not Will only lose one goal against Arsenal and Tottenham. The most important thing is that the players in this team play very hard. They really fight for every ball and don't give up any a chance.

In football, unless you are a special talent, the manager definitely prefers hardworking players.

Today's Wigan Athletic, not some of the players are working hard, but all the players are playing very hard!

On the field, Wigan Athletic midfielder No. 21 Jimmy Bullard passed the ball, and the ball was blocked by Jose Pereira with his foot. When Fletcher rushed to catch the ball, he was far away from the ball Jimmy Bullard ran all the way to catch up. He just took advantage of Fletcher's stop to get behind Fletcher, and then started to press on the spot.

Fletcher certainly didn't want to entangle Jimmy Bullard in the dangerous area. He chose to pass the ball back. As a result, something unexpected happened again.

Wigan Athletic striker No. 7 Henry Kamara rushed to John O'Shea who received the ball, still pressing desperately on the spot!

As soon as the game started, the visiting team Wigan Athletic launched a frenzied press all over the field. This kind of play that spared no effort made the Manchester United players at home very uncomfortable, because this kind of play is definitely not suitable for Manchester United. Manchester United play football with this attitude, and they can persist in one or two games, but as long as it takes a long time, the team's physical fitness will definitely not be able to stand it.

Looking through Manchester United's schedule, we know that after the start of the new season, Manchester United will basically have double matches a week except for the national team match day, which is a norm.

Everyone knows the benefits of allowing players to increase their running range. If all the players on the field run persistently, a team will always have one more player. Around the ball, they are always The number of players in the team is one more than the opponent, but this benefit requires a huge price, that is, the physical consumption of the players will increase exponentially.

It is usually impossible for a team like Manchester United to take such an extreme approach. If they dare to do this, they will wait to lose!

For example, in the midweek game, Manchester United played desperately and paralyzed all the players. By the time of the weekend game, most of the players on the field would have to rotate. A sharp decline, even if all the players are still working hard at that time, they may not be able to play against other Premier League teams.

On the contrary, a team like Wigan Athletic is different. They have fewer games. Most of the time, they play once a week. They are exhausted during the game and play after a week of rest!
So, why do other teams in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League seldom adopt this effective method of improving the team's strength?
There must be teams that run all over the court, but there are definitely not many. The reason is that every professional player has his own favorite rhythm of the game. Some players just like a slow pace. However, there are some players whose physique is not suitable for continuous vigorous running. If you let him run for a long time, he may not be able to play even a game. Another important thing is Factors, the hard work of individual people in a team has very low effect, but wastes precious physical energy, which is not worth the candle.

Under so many constraints, no head coach would dare to adopt such an extreme style of play that costs people and money, unless it is a very important game, and after careful deployment and mobilization, he will only play like this once in a while.

It is often said that attitude determines everything, and this is true of everything. When the same person puts his life into doing something, the effect must be far beyond ordinary.

Today, what the Manchester United team encountered was a group of players who were desperate to win the game, or a group of players with a particularly strong desire to win.

On the pitch, Ronando frowned deeply. He could tell that Manchester United would be in danger if they played like this!

Manchester United has many players on the pitch today who have gone through repeated battles, and a considerable proportion of players played the whole game in the battle against Everton three days ago. In terms of physical reserves, Manchester United is definitely not as good as Wigan Athletic, if the team speeds up the pace of the game, their physical fitness may not be able to keep up in the second half.

Going one step further, even if Manchester United's physical fitness can keep up, they probably can't play like this, because these players have to wait until the weekend game to play!
In other words, Manchester United is now forced into a dilemma. Increasing the range of running will put the team in a great predicament. If the range of running is not increased, their players will immediately fall into less The situation of playing more, so that the situation of this game will be countless times more severe than expected.

Possession!A football term quickly popped into Ronaldo's mind!
Under such circumstances, the most common thing for the head coach to do is to ask his players to strengthen ball control and pass short passes, so that the running of the opponent's players becomes ineffective, which wastes energy in vain. Also because the player's physical fitness is temporarily unable to keep up, he is hit with a quick counterattack and easily loses the ball. Even Ronando, a rookie who has only played in the professional league for a year, can understand this.

However, when Ronando thought of this, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Possession!The ball-handling and passing and receiving skills of the giants Manchester United's players are definitely first-class and powerful, which should be more than enough to deal with Wigan Athletic, but!Things are not absolute, he is a right forward, but he is an outlier who is not good at handling the ball and passing the ball!What he likes most is dashing and hitting, crushing opponents with impact.

That is to say, once Manchester United strengthens possession of the ball, Ronando's side will definitely become a weakness. He is a member of the team, and it is impossible for him to separate himself from other teammates and charge alone...

Sure enough, the head coach Ferguson on the sidelines quickly issued an order requiring the players to strengthen ball control!
"Glory to Manchester United! Glory to Manchester United!"

"The Reds march forward, as the Busby boys once did, and we will fly the Red Devils flag high! ... You'll see it everywhere, you'll hear it singing proudly ... Manchester United! Manchester United! ...we are the boys in red..."

"All mankind will know who we are and all will sing a song Queen's Blood... Manchester United! Manchester United!"

Either because Manchester United is very likely to become the No. [-] team in the league today, or because the British princess Beatrice came to the stadium, which made everyone feel extremely honored. It just so happens that the end of the Manchester United team song states "The Queen's Blood" This word makes this song "Glory Belongs to Manchester United" especially suitable for today's game atmosphere. All Manchester United fans sang very hard.

On the field, after Ferguson issued the order, the situation of Manchester United became much more stable, and the desperate running of Wigan Athletic players did not achieve much effect.

Of course, the effect is not absolutely nothing, at least Wigan Athletic did not immediately fall into a disadvantage, this is the result of their hard work.

At this moment, Ronando felt a trace of guilt in his heart!

Obviously, when the teammates used each other to pass and catch the ball to consume each other's physical energy, they deliberately avoided passing the ball to Ronaldo!

As a teammate who gets along day and night, everyone knows Ronando very well. This young Portuguese is a genius. Don’t be surprised when he suddenly rushes towards the opponent’s player and steals the opponent’s player with a magical kick. Don't be surprised when he charged hard and passed all the way. When he entered the penalty area, with unimaginable agility and foot skills, he completed a small range of maneuvers, and finally shot the ball at the goal. Oddly, that's the Manchester United monster, the one and only one.

However, no one is perfect!If you expect this young man to receive a pass from his teammate calmly, then dodge the opponent's pressure leisurely, and pass the ball back to his teammate accurately, then don't think about it!

The monster is a deadly offensive weapon, everything he does is to score goals, the rest, he is still a rookie!

In the special box of the stadium, Gal Gadot firmly grasped the railing with both hands, and stared intently at the stadium. She also wore a pair of silk gloves on her hands today, and she looked very ladylike like her other companions.

Beside Gal Gadot, the round-faced Beatrice chatted leisurely with Colleen beside her, turning her face to stare at Gal Gadot curiously from time to time.

Beatrice suddenly reminded softly: "Sister Gail, don't be so nervous, a football game will not always be exciting."

Gal Gadot's pretty face blushed slightly, and said: "Your Highness, I rarely watch football matches... This is the first time I've watched a formal football match live." After speaking, Gal Gadot's His face became even more rosy, and he concealed: "The stadium in England is really spectacular! I have never imagined tens of thousands of people gathered to watch a football match before!"

Colleen laughed heartily and said, "Gail, you won't be surprised if you often come to our stadium to watch football in the future. This stadium is one of the most spectacular stadiums in England." He turned to Beatrice and asked, "His Royal Highness, will you come here to watch football again?"

Several "Manchester United wives" around immediately looked at Beatrice. In fact, this is something that many people want to know. If Beatrice often came to watch the game, she would actually be called by the media. "A loyal fan of Manchester United", and Manchester United does not have any fans of the immediate family of the Queen of England, so Manchester United is considered to be a club that lacks "royalty", which is worse than Arsenal and Liverpool.

Beatrice thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I'm here to watch the game with Sister Gail. If she comes here often in the future, I think I will come often too."

When Colleen heard Beatrice's words, she immediately called softly: "Oh! Gail! I think you just came to England not long ago, and you should need someone to accompany you around? Maybe I can be your guide, you What do you think?"

Gal Gadot reached out and grabbed Colleen's arm, and said affectionately: "Colin, I will trouble you when I come back from the United States this time... Actually, I am also very interested in some customs and customs in England Well, of course, we can come to this magnificent stadium to watch the game together in the future..."
