The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 395 I Can Only Count On This Child

But apart from the compliments of Ricardo, Kaka, Diarra and a few other players, the media made sharp criticisms of Real Madrid's defense and most of the players.

Even the spiritual leader Raul will inevitably be criticized, and coach Capello has been questioned a lot.To his way of employing people, to the system he built, to his conservative and ugly tactics...

"The team led by Capello did not play well," Ricardo said to Kaka privately, "but he can win and win the championship. This is what Real Madrid needs most now."

Kaka agreed deeply, nodded and said, "I don't care if he plays well or not, as long as he can lead us to win, I will support him."

Ricardo smiled and said: "I guess, he will not stay in Real Madrid for long this time. He may lead us to one or two important championships, but he will be driven away by the picky Real Madrid fans soon." .”

Kaka said angrily: "Instead of caring about whether he can stay in the next season, I have to care about whether I can be the main player."

"Don't worry, you won't be able to escape from the main position," Ricardo said firmly. "It's just because you haven't integrated into the team yet. After the adaptation period, you must be the core of the team."

"Don't be ridiculous," Kaka said seriously, "The core of the team is you."

……

On August 8, in the first La Liga game of Real Madrid's new season, tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans also realized this.

Sitting at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid played very conservatively and cautiously, and they fought inextricably with the visiting Villarreal.

Riquelme is still the key man of the yellow submarine, he contributed as many as 4 key passes in the first half.If it weren't for the good state of Real Madrid's defense in this game, the city gate would have fallen early.

And Ricardo is the core of Real Madrid's offense.

Today's Riccardo still appears in the front midfielder position, but in fact he assumes the tactical responsibility of the hidden front, frequently using speed and technology to insert in the back row, disrupting the yellow submarine's defense.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, he drove straight in with the ball in the middle, and made a collision with Van Nistelrooy in front of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, he strode past the last defender.

Facing the attacking goalkeeper alone and the defenders who were chasing and harassing him from behind, Ricardo did not seek merit, but passed the ball to the rear. Ruud van Nistelrooy appeared on the path of the ball like a ghost, Stretched his legs and scored his first goal for Real Madrid.

More than 6 fans present gave applause without hesitation.After Ruud van Nistelrooy ran wildly to celebrate, he also ran back and hugged Riccardo who assisted him, looking harmonious.

In fact, in the dressing room, the relationship between Van Nistelrooy and Ricardo was only a little better than indifference.

During this period of time, Ricardo has almost figured out the context of the Real Madrid locker room.

Generally speaking, it is divided into three factions, the local Spanish faction, the Brazilian gang, and the faction of other foreign players.

The leader of the local Spanish faction is of course Raul. After Hierro left, Raul has become the spiritual leader of the locker room.

The boss of the Brazilian gang is naturally Ronaldo. Now that Ronaldo is not here, the oldest Roberto Carlos took his gun without hesitation.However, Licado has a special status, he is considered as the deputy section chief in this camp, and Kaka and Cicinho can only be little ones.

As for the boss of other foreign players, I heard that it was Figo, who has been leaderless since Figo left.

Although Beckham is the most famous and popular, he has never been able to become a big shot, and he doesn't know why.

Ruud van Nistelrooy, Cannavaro, and Beckham are all famous players, and they refuse to accept each other. Cassano and Diarra are considered juniors and have no human rights.

Of course, these three major factions are not so distinct, and they still have contacts with each other.And their respective interiors are not monolithic.

Although Cannavaro and Cassano are both Italians, they can't see each other because one of them has played for Juventus and the other has played for Rome.Moreover, Cannavaro has a stable personality, and Cassano has an outrageous personality, and he can't urinate in a pot.

The Spanish faction is also roughly divided into two factions based on whether they were born in Real Madrid's youth training.

In general, the most united is the Brazilian gang.

During the intermission, the arrangement of seats in the locker room faintly showed the distribution of forces.

Of course Capello knew this situation, but he could do nothing.It is normal for a giant like Real Madrid to gather big names and stand on hills, and it is the most test of the head coach's skills.

Of course he can't make everyone love each other, but as long as he can make these people work hard for the same goal on the court, he will succeed.

But so far, he's been a little short of success.

Otherwise, the team will not only lead 1:0.

Today Capello still arranged the same defensive line and midfielder as in the previous game. In fact, he also knew that Ramos might be better playing central defender.

But he is worried about Cicinho's poor defensive ability, and his full-backs don't need assists for halftime, so Cicinho's offensive ability is also useless, and this excellent full-back can only sit idle. bench.

In the position of avant-garde on the right, Capello chose Beckham today.However, Beckham is old after all, and it seems that he has not yet come out of the fatigue of the World Cup, and his performance is really mediocre.

On the left is still Raul, who is doing nothing today.

Capello sighed and looked at Ricardo.Still can only count on this child.

In the second half of the game, the Yellow Submarine's offensive became fierce, but today Real Madrid's defense withstood the test, and Ricardo's activeness made the Yellow Submarine dare not devote themselves to the offense for fear of conceding more goals.

And Fran is not in a good state today. He failed to receive Riquelme's wonderful pass several times, wasting the few opportunities.

After 60 minutes, Real Madrid even defended across the board, including Ricciardo was also ordered to return to the front of the penalty area to deploy defenses, leaving Ruud van Nistelrooy near the center circle to fight back.

When the European champions are determined to have a bus at their doorstep, even Barcelona has nothing to do, let alone the less powerful Villarreal.

They can only do it again and again in vain.

And in the 77th minute, something worse happened.Real Madrid intercepted the ball in the backcourt, Beckham launched a counterattack with a long pass, Ricardo used his speed, caught up from behind, overtook the last defender of Villarreal, and got the ball.Then drive straight in with the ball, pass the goalkeeper, and score the ball.

This was Ricardo's first goal at the Bernabeu, and the fans gave him thunderous applause.

He scored a goal on his first appearance at the Bernabeu and he conquered discerning Real Madrid fans almost immediately.
