Jagged Wings

Chapter 20 Bullying Ronaldo

Arsenal's defense is not impregnable. After Kolo Toure was injured, Wenger could only start with Nishioka.Substitute central defender Nishioka is a million-year soy sauce party, and he has not played many games this season.

In terms of strength, Nishioka's ability to face opponents like Manchester United is still somewhat insufficient.

Ronaldo dribbled the ball down the right and, after attracting the attention of Cole and Vieira, passed the ball in the middle.

Rooney received the ball at the front of the penalty area. He leaned forward to break through. Nishioka subconsciously shifted his center of gravity back to prevent the opponent's speed.

But Rooney feinted and knocked the ball down the left, with Giggs appearing behind the Arsenal defence.After receiving the ball, Wang Laoji did not adjust, and volleyed with his left foot, and the football entered the net from the near corner.

1:1
In the 40th minute of the first half, Manchester United equalized!

This goal was like cold water poured on the fiery hearts of the Arsenal fans, and it immediately made them feel "cool".

Reyes thought to himself: Fuck, you deserve to sell herbal tea!

The score of the first half was fixed at 1:1, and the two sides drew temporarily.

The atmosphere of the battle made an honest man like Giggs a little hot-headed. He ran under the stands of Arsenal fans and made a "shut up" gesture.

"Go away, you Welsh bastard!"

"Go to hell, you'll regret it in no time!"

"Idiot! This is Highbury, not Old Trafford!"

All kinds of debris rained down, and even a soda bottle fell on Giggs' side. Giggs was startled and ran away quickly.

Because the injury is not worth it.

This score finally continued to the end of the first half, and the two sides returned to the locker room with a score of 1:1.

The Arsenal players who returned to the dressing room were a little sullen, and they were all dissatisfied with being equalized in the end.

Nishioka stood up: "Guys, it was my fault for conceding the goal. I am willing to take the responsibility. I failed to watch that kid, but I guarantee that he will not have another chance in the second half."

Reyes, who had been silent for a long time, said: "Nishioka, conceding the goal is not someone's fault, and you don't have to blame yourself. It's just an equalizer. We just scored another goal in the second half. And speaking of it, Ronaldo The ball that was used for the assist was still broken from under my feet."

There was a good-natured laugh in the locker room.

Seeing that the players can adjust their mentality on their own, Wenger felt relieved for a while.

"Your performance in the first half...satisfied me. Although we conceded a goal, as Reyes said, we will get it back in the second half. Vieira, you go forward a lot in the second half and disrupt their back Defensive line. In the second half of the game, everyone should run and hide, and then pay attention to kicking the ball, and don't give the Manchester United group a chance to foul! Our goal is three points!"

**********
Reyes was also searching for a strategy in his mind to defeat the enemy.

In fact, he doesn't think Manchester United can be "run to death" by Arsenal.Although Giggs and Scholes are very old, Manchester United's tactics have always been based on the team's "running without the ball".

Want to kill Manchester United, who is good at running?That is tantamount to comparing sprint with Bolt and height with Yao Ming.

Scholes and Giggs lack of physical strength?You must know that in 2013, the 39-year-old Scholes could still play the whole game, and the 40-year-old Giggs could still score goals!
Therefore, tactics that consume Manchester United's physical energy may not work.

So is there another way?
Then we have to find their weakest places from the strongest places.Manchester United's off-the-ball running tactics require the whole team to serve the whole, and no one is allowed to be independent of the system.So who is independent of this tactic?
Cristiano Ronaldo!
At this time, Ronaldo is not as bad as he will be in the future, and now he is just the "bike boy" who likes to play with technology.Although Ferguson took a fancy to his potential and asked him to wear the No. 7 jersey to take over from Beckham, the current Ronaldo is still immature.Except for Wenger and Ferguson, who are discerning, the whole world thinks that Ronaldo is another big parallel importer.

If Ronaldo in the 07-08 season was a "complete body", then the current Ronaldo is at best a "juvenile body."

alone!Stubborn!irritable!This is Ronaldo.

"Oh yeah, let me treat you well!"

Ronaldo Reyes at his peak might be afraid, but now Ronaldo is still going to abuse him.

"Take it as teaching you for Ferguson, don't thank me."

********
"Continue to attack in the second half of the game. At this time, Arsenal is like a drowning man. As long as we score a goal, we can kick the fucking Arsenal into the quagmire and never come out again!" Ferguson said in the dressing room The morale of the room was boosted.

"And Neville," Ferguson praised the whole team, and then specifically named Neville: "Did you not eat this afternoon? What about your fierce tackle? Ronaldo received too little support in the first half, and your side In the second half of the game, don't give that Spaniard so many chances!"

Neville didn't speak, but his tightly clenched hands and white knuckles had fully expressed his anger.

"Boy, if you don't hit me, your face is full of peach blossoms. I don't think you know why the flowers are so red!"

*********
At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United was suddenly full of energy as if they had changed a team.Reyes just turned around after receiving a pass from the wing, and he stretched out a foot roughly, poking the ball away and bringing him down at the same time.

Reyes turned his head, Neville showed a fierce expression, turned and ran back.

Yo, is this Li Wei?
I am not afraid of you!

"Let's go heads-up, Spaniard!"

A few minutes later, Reyes took the ball and faced Neville again. Instead of rushing up immediately, Neville lowered his center of gravity and kept his eyes on the football.Reyes flicked the ball to the left as if going to the bottom, tricking Neville's center of gravity into shifting, but he dunked the ball back with his left foot.

Neville reacted quickly and abruptly brought his focus back.

"Small sample, I see you again..." Neville hadn't finished speaking, Reyes passed the ball behind him, Ashley Cole inserted from behind, and passed directly.

Carroll hit the ball with both fists, and Flamini hit the plane with a long shot.

"Football is not a sport for one person!" Reyes looked at Neville like an idiot.

Hearing Reyes' words, and looking at the contemptuous eyes of the fans on the stage, Neville's vision gradually changed.

Boy, you humiliated me again and again in this game, I won't make it easy for you!
In the second half, Manchester United stepped up their offensive, and Ronaldo with good footwork had more chances to get the ball.In this case, Ashley Cole can only stay behind to defend, and it is not easy to assist.

Manchester United's tactics have no core, their whole team is like a precision machine, Ferguson is the operator who controls this machine, and each player is a closely inlaid part, and they achieve the collective goal through mutual cooperation. optimization.

Ronaldo is also a good part, but this part does not fit well with the Manchester United machine, and more often he is independent of this machine.

In the first half, Manchester United did not attack much, and Ronaldo was also looked down upon by Vieira.But in the second half, Robbie was much more active in the first half, and Vieira also put more energy into the offense.

Manchester United intercepted the ball in the backcourt, and the football was assigned to Ronaldo. Ronaldo swayed Flamini with a fake move and took the ball to the right. Ronaldo kept changing his footsteps and shaking his body, trying to pass Ashley Cole with his skills.But Cole was ready, just staring at the ball at Ronaldo's feet, not easily.

Cristiano Ronaldo crossed the ball with his left foot, followed by his right foot and flicked the ball to the left, breaking through to the bottom line.

Cole hurriedly moved back in small steps while lowering his center of gravity. He looked down on this Portuguese teenager with the same fancy footwork and hairstyle from the bottom of his heart.

"Hey, Ashley, let's make two defenses and one and break this kid's ball!" Reyes ran over from the frontcourt and shouted loudly behind Ronaldo. He deliberately let Ronaldo hear him.

Hmph, two people, don't even think about it!

As soon as Ronaldo pulled the ball back, he felt a body leaning towards him, and a leg was constantly squeezing himself. Ronaldo stepped on the ball to the sideline, leaned on Reyes, and thought about the strategy to defeat the enemy.

But Reyes didn't give him a chance to think about life, and he fell to the ground and kicked the ball out of the sideline with a tackle behind him.

A few minutes later, Ronaldo took the ball again.

"Boy, it's impossible for you to break through me!" Reyes' voice appeared behind Ronaldo again.

This time Ronaldo didn't try to be brave, he kicked the ball to the bottom line, ready to rely on speed.But Ashley Carr was also very fast, and he got stuck when he turned around.

Ronaldo turned his head and stared at Reyes: "Damn the Spaniard!"

"Come on! Let's fight one-on-one!" Reyes challenged.

Ronaldo came up with a look of anger, but was stopped by Fletcher in an instant, and Fletcher comforted his emotions softly in Ronaldo's ear.

Other teammates surrounded him, and Keane also wanted to find the field for his teammates, but was blocked from the crowd.

The referee ran over to disperse the crowd, and warned Ronaldo a few words, asking him to calm down.

"Looks like we need to pour more fuel!" Reyes thought.

In the 60th minute of the second half, Ronaldo moved to the center to take the ball and faced Flamini. Ronaldo's left and right feet kept gliding across the football, and his upper body was shaking from side to side in an attempt to trick Flamini.

Neville on the right came up from the wing, but Ronaldo didn't pass the ball.Rooney, Scholes, Fletcher and others also rushed to the frontcourt. They believed that Ronaldo had the ability to get past Flamini.

At this moment, Reyes rushed up from the side, and knocked Ronaldo down with a sweep of his legs.Although Ronaldo fell, the football was stopped by Reyes.

"Foul!" Ronaldo raised his hands.

But the referee ignored him, but raised his hands flat: No foul, the game continues!
"Damn it!" Ronaldo cursed, shook his hands fiercely, and ran to chase Reyes.

At this time, Manchester United's backcourt had only three defenders left because of their aggressive attack.

Reyes dribbled the ball very quickly and rushed across the half like the wind.But running with the ball is always not as fast as running without the ball. Ronaldo has already reached behind Reyes.

But Reyes, who was running, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, his movements suddenly changed, and he made an emergency stop to smash the ball.

Ronaldo couldn't brake in time and rushed over, but he immediately shifted his center of gravity forcibly and rushed over again.

"Boy, you can't!"

Reyes smashed the ball again and swayed Ronaldo.

At this moment, Ronaldo didn't think about anything else. There was only one thought in his mind - bastard boy, stay for me!
Unexpectedly, Ronaldo's anger value was already full at this time. Knowing that he had been offended, he lifted his foot and stomped on Reyes' foot hard.

In the next second, Vieira, the nearest Arsenal captain, rushed up and stopped in front of Ronaldo. He put his head on Ronaldo and shouted loudly: "What are you doing!"

"beep----"

The referee's sharp whistle sounded.
