Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 407 The beginning of an era

What do you mean by adding insult to injury?This is the situation at Manchester United now!

After falling behind Tottenham by two goals at home, there was an infighting between the head coach and the captain of the team, plus an even weirder incident, the sneaker kicked up by Roy Keane happened to hit the substitute who was going to be on the bench in the second half. Darren Fletcher's jaw he's in...

Flying boots?Manchester United has already experienced a flying boots incident a few years ago. The direct impact of that time was that Manchester United entered a rapid recession just after regaining the league title. They only won the third place in the league for two consecutive years. David Beckham, one of the protagonists of the door, was forced to leave Real Madrid and ended his 11-year career with the Red Devils.

As a football fan, Ronaldo is of course very clear about the flying boot incident that happened a few years ago.

2003年2月15日，英格兰足总杯第五轮，曼联队主场迎战阿森纳队。客场作战的阿森纳队分别在第37分钟和第52分钟由巴西球员埃杜、法国前锋西尔万?维尔托德各入一球，从而2：0淘汰了曼联。

After the game, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson flew into a rage in the dressing room, lashing out at his players.

Subsequently, Ferguson and Beckham had a dispute on the second goal. In anger, Ferguson kicked a football boot on the ground, which just hit Beckham's left eyebrow bone. , Immediately bleeding profusely, known as the "flying boot door" in history, this injury not only caused Beckham to bleed and nearly lose his appearance, but also marked the end of his close relationship with Ferguson.

History is so similar, the scene that happened in the dressing room at Old Trafford today is simply a replica of the incident more than two years ago!
Ferguson blamed the defeat on his general because his team did not go well. This time it was not Beckham, but Roy Keane. The only difference was that this time it was not Ferguson who kicked the sneakers, but Roy Keane did this, and the result was not that the other big guy who was wrestling was injured, but caused a player other than them to be injured.

However, things are slightly different, but the ending is similar!
Ronando was extremely distressed. He knew that at this time in history, Ferguson had a complete break with Roy Keane, and at the end of the year, Roy Keane was terminated by the stubborn Ferguson and left English football sadly. , This marked the end of an era for the Red Devils. Since then, Manchester United has entered an era where the younger generation is in power.

Ronando does not reject this change in Manchester United. The change of the team from old to new is precisely his opportunity. He is also one of the characters hiding in the dark, eager to get a piece of the pie.

but!Ronaldo doesn't want to see Roy Keane and Ferguson break completely. He wants these two iconic figures of Manchester United to join hands and cooperate with him to lead Manchester United to achieve a rise.

After Ronando entered Manchester United, because he deliberately maintained a close relationship with Roy Keane, he has smoothed out some disputes between Roy Keane and the team's young players, making the original world At least half of the main factors that led to Roy Keane's break with Ferguson disappeared. However, the history is surprisingly similar. I didn't expect Roy Keane to have a relationship with Ferguson due to other reasons at this point in time. The stalemate ended the honeymoon period between the two big shots.

Could it be that Roy Keane is destined to leave Manchester United sadly, and Manchester United is destined to enter a period of chaos?

Manchester United players are panicking, however, the game has to go on!
The score of 0:2 on the electronic display urged the Manchester United team, which was playing at home, to hurry up every minute, otherwise, they would really have to be at their home court and had no choice but to accept the defeat in the first game of the new season.

The second half of the game started soon.

Ferguson, with a stiff face, returned to the locker room before this, but the old Scottish man didn't say anything to everyone, he just called his proud disciple Darren Fletcher, gave a few low instructions, and then went ahead in silence alone. Went to the bench.

Roy Keane's face was equally ugly. His good friend Paul Scholes deliberately wanted to talk to him, but Roy Keane didn't even open his mouth.

The only supporting actor in the incident, Darren Fletcher, didn't hurt his jaw seriously, but there was a bruise on his jaw and a small cut in the middle. The team doctor helped him protect the wound with a bandage , And said that such a small injury has no effect on the game.

Darren? Fletcher's injury has no effect on the game, but the impact of this incident on the team can be great!

Almost all the players were trembling with fear, including veteran players like Paul Scholes, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Rio Ferdinand. Everyone knew that under the seemingly calm water, hot magma was rolling , I don’t know when it will burst out.

At the start of the game, captain Roy Keane went off the field directly, and young player Darren Fletcher came on the field. Neither of them high-fived each other, but Roy Keane threw the captain's armband into Darren Fletcher's arms with a cold face. inside.

Darren? Fletcher certainly did not dare to wear the captain's armband. He ran into the penalty area and handed the captain's armband to the vice-captain Rio Ferdinand.

Rio Ferdinand smiled wryly, and carefully put the captain's armband on his left arm.

Everything is so awkward! ... The Manchester United players on the field have lost more than half of their spirits.

Anyone who is not a fool will understand that this incident is far from over, it is just the beginning. When the game is over, the real sequelae begin. Now, the head coach and the team captain have publicly quarreled. The stubborn tempers of these two bosses make it difficult to resolve conflicts easily. Where will Manchester United go in the future?
Although the status of Ferguson and Roy Keane in the club is not commensurate, Ferguson is the absolute master of the team. Unless he resigns, he will not be the loser.

However, Roy Keane is also an extremely important figure for Manchester United!
He is the unfailing banner of the Red Devils Manchester United and has absolute prestige among his teammates. In the minds of Manchester United fans, his influence is no less than that of Ferguson. At least half of the fans will support Roy Keane unconditionally , This is where the charm of "Forever Captain Red Devils" lies.

Therefore, the stalemate between Ferguson and Roy Keane is tantamount to causing an earthquake in Manchester United. The aftermath of this earthquake may even shake the foundation of Manchester United!

Judging by the current posture of Ferguson and Roy Keane, the flying boot incident this time will not be concealed for a long time, and it will be stabbed in the newspapers soon. At that time, it will be a big problem for Manchester United. At the beginning of the disaster, the situation that everyone has worked hard for is likely to collapse. Let alone competing with Chelsea for the supremacy of the Premier League, it is to keep the top three positions in the Premier League, and at least the goal of reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League. Become a castle in the air...

"We have to do something, we can't sit still!... What do you say, Cristiano?"

"Huh? Wayne, what do you want to do?"

"If we don't do something...today's game is lost! Besides, between the old man and Roy Keane...unless we can win this damn game!"

Looking at Rooney's rough face, Ronando couldn't help admiring, there really wasn't a single fool!

Don't look at Rooney's appearance, which looks like a farmer. He feels like a guy with strong limbs and a simple mind, but this guy is a sensible person.

If Rooney is stupid, he should be secretly laughing at this moment, because as Ferguson's favorite disciple, once Roy Keane is finally given up by Ferguson, there will be a temporary power vacuum in the team. Among them, with Rooney's status today, he is likely to reap benefits, such as occupying the position of a team vice-captain.

A 20-year-old vice-captain of Manchester United is definitely a supreme honor. In time, Wayne Rooney will be the future captain of the Red Devils!
However, Wayne Rooney is obviously not stupid. The reason why the title of captain of the Red Devils is glorious is because Manchester United is a super-strong team in the Premier League. If it is said that Manchester United quickly declined because of the Roy Keane incident and lost the title of a super-class team , Then, even if Rooney became the captain of Manchester United in the future, it would not be a big deal. Although there are few Premier League captains in their early 20s, it is not impossible.

Seeing Rooney's serious face, Ronando couldn't help but feel moved!
In other words, Ronando and Rooney, unless someone leaves Manchester United in the future, they will be a pair of competitors sooner or later, but, at least for now, their goal is the same, that is to find ways to maintain the stability of Manchester United , to prevent the team from falling apart.

Only in this way, it is in the best interests of Ronando and Rooney. They have not yet fully grown up and cannot independently support Manchester United. They still need the big brothers in the team to help them support the scene.

Therefore, the smartest way for Ronaldo and Rooney is to join forces to defeat Tottenham, first let Manchester United have a buffer period to resolve the internal conflicts, and avoid Ferguson and Roy Keane from being under too much pressure due to the team's disastrous defeat. Shirking responsibility to each other quickly intensified the conflict between the two bosses.

As long as Manchester United is unbeaten today, there is room for circles between Ferguson and Roy Keane.

Those two are smart people who have experienced countless ups and downs. After calming down, they will naturally know what to do to benefit themselves. What's more, with the first flying boots as an example, no matter Ferguson or Roy? Keane will definitely not be willing to let himself be the protagonist of another flying boot incident...

"Wayne! Let's team up!... Don't worry, charge ahead, I'll meet you from the right! If you can't move, pass the ball to the right, and I will try my best to grab the ball!"

Having figured all this out, Ronando expressed his opinion to Rooney.

Things have come to this point, he and Rooney have to work hard and show their respective advantages as much as possible, so that they can overwhelm Tottenham in the game.

It is conceivable that Tottenham, leading by two goals, will definitely strengthen their defense under the command of Martin Jol, and Rooney's forced breakthrough will become difficult. Only Ronando relies on his speed and physical advantages to get close to Rooney Only by cooperating seamlessly can Manchester United have a glimmer of hope for survival...

"Crack!"

In the media area of ​​Old Trafford, a tall, thin reporter in red put down the camera in his hand, but still squinted and stared at the pitch.

"Strange!... How strange? What are those two boys doing?"

"Henry! Did you find anything strange?"

"...Rooney...Ronando, when did they become so friendly? Shouldn't they be enemies who are at odds with each other?"

The tall, lanky man in red is Henry Winter, the leading independent writer of The Daily Telegraph. This is a famous English football reporter. He has an enviable identity, that is, Liverpool captain Steven? Gerrard's "Queen Reporter", by virtue of being able to keep track of Gerrard's dynamics in a timely manner, Henry Winter is now called one of the "Four Great Journalists in England" by good people, and he is extremely prestigious.

The so-called one who knows you best is your enemy. Henry Winter is a supporter of Liverpool and Steven Gerrard, so naturally he knows Liverpool's enemies very well.

Although Rooney and Ronando are known as the "Manchester United twin stars", they are actually not close. Even in public, they rarely have overly intimate movements and expressions.

However, on the current court, Rooney and Ronando, the twin stars, not only gather together to whisper in a low voice, but these two little guys are like a pair of good friends, each extending a hand to each other. Holding each other, that look... It's really hard to say that there was a deep grudge between them!
Although today's information tools are very developed, Sky TV's TV broadcast content can even be used to play back frame by frame to find some details that have been overlooked by people, but the picture angles provided by TV signals are limited after all, and the media is using When using Sky TV, the words "Sky TV" must be marked.

Therefore, English reporters will still habitually bring their own cameras and video cameras into the stadium to capture the game screen by themselves.

Henry Winter is a happy reporter. He doesn't know it now, but the picture captured by his camera represents the beginning of a new era for Red Manchester United!
Simply put, it is "the era of Manchester United No. 8 + No. 22"!
It was from this moment that Manchester United's No. 8 Wayne Rooney and No. 22 Cristiano Ronaldo entered a sweet honeymoon period. These two young lads began to cooperate closely on the court During the period, they teamed up to raise Manchester United's frontcourt attack power to a new level, making Manchester United truly a "new Manchester United".

It was also from this day that the "Manchester United Twins" began to have real meaning. They were a pair of comrades-in-arms, and they were the most powerful offensive weapon of Red Manchester United in the frontcourt!
※※※

"Manchester United's offense! No. 18 Paul Scholes pass!... No. 8 Wayne Rooney! The sharp knife man on the front line of Manchester United!"

"Tottenham's big midfielder No. 23 Michael Carrick went up, and No. 28 Jermaine Jenas double-teamed from behind! ... Wayne Rooney made a quick start! Emergency stop! Fake moves!  … Beautiful! Wayne Rooney's dribbling center of gravity is low, the ball is stable, let the No. 23 Michael Carrick of the Tottenham team stick close to his side and there is no chance to steal!"

"But! Wayne Rooney has fallen into the opponent's encirclement, and Tottenham's right back No. 7 Paul Staltree has also outflanked him from the other side!"

"Pass the ball! Rooney, who was surrounded on three sides, suddenly passed the ball laterally! The ball flew to the right!..."

In fact, no matter how brave Rooney is, there is a limit. The tall "former West Ham midfielder" Michael Carrick has nothing to do with Rooney, but with Jermaine Jenas and Paul Sta Ultri and the two assisted from the side. Rooney couldn't protect the ball anyway, let alone rush forward with the ball.

At this time, Rooney, after being trapped in a tight siege, with his height and ability to protect the ball, did not have the opportunity to pass the ball to the most suitable position after carefully observing the situation on the field.

but!At this moment, Rooney chose to trust his "new partner" unconditionally, that is Ronando.

Prior to this, after discussing with Rooney, Ronando and Rooney concluded that only relying on Rooney's bravery alone, he would definitely not be able to penetrate Tottenham's defense. Then, he needs the support of his teammates. On the front line of Manchester United, Paul Both Scholes and Ole Solskjaer are dexterous players who are not good at fighting tough battles. With Tottenham's strengthening defense today, it is difficult for these two teammates to effectively help Rooney.

In addition, the most threatening figure on Manchester United's front line, Dutch center Ruud van Nistelrooy, must be the target of Tottenham's strict defense. It is not easy to get Rooney's pass.

After all the calculations, the only person who can become Rooney's supporter is Ronando!

Although Ronando's basic skills are not as good, but he is fast, powerful, and completely unafraid of collisions. Today's Tottenham team plays more and less on the defensive line. Any Manchester United player who rushes to the threat area is not afraid. You may get a chance to catch the ball easily, and you will inevitably be surrounded by defensive players. At this time, physical fitness plays a big role.

Ronando's advantage is that he is tall and strong. He can withstand the interference of opponent players. Once he grabs the ball, he also has the ability to break through one-on-one. This is the opportunity for Manchester United to recover the score.

It can be said that this rough tactic that Rooney and Ronando came up with on the spot is really a bit operable. For Ronando, he just followed Rooney's right back, ran forward, and at the same time Always pay attention to Rooney's pass. After Rooney passes the ball, he will risk his life to fight for the ball. If he grabs the ball, he will continue to move forward. Tottenham took the opportunity to play a fast break.

Such a tactic mainly relies on the impact of Rooney and Ronando, two teenagers. If a little bit of luck is added, it is a very good hard way to break through the iron wall!
