[Football] Thorn Birds

On July 2009, 7, Dublin, the capital of Ireland, at the Tarragault Stadium.

This is the home of Shamrock Rangers (Shamrock Rangers), the leading Irish League team, and the first warm-up match of Real Madrid before the 09-10 season will start here.

And today, it is also the first time that Ronaldo, who has attracted worldwide attention, will wear the Real Madrid jersey to participate in the game. At the same time, this is also the first game of Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini in Real Madrid.

However, judging from the released starting list, Real Madrid's other new aid, Benzema, did not get the chance to make his debut.

In addition, the newly transferred superstar Kaka did not come with the team because he participated in the Confederations Cup and his vacation was extended later. Therefore, he has not yet been able to appear in the Real Madrid arena, so today's game can be regarded as Ronaldo. One's debut.

However, although it is a warm-up match, the Shamrock Rangers, who rarely play against a giant like Real Madrid, are not willing to show weakness. Rangers goalkeeper Barry Murphy said very seriously in the pre-match interview: Real Madrid players don’t want to be outdone. Thinking of breaking his door, Ronaldo is no exception.

For Real Madrid, the warm-up match is not just a game. The new coach must start to integrate the team, and the players must also show their abilities.

However, before the warm-up match, Peter Pan Robben was injured.

The day before the game, the Real Madrid players were doing confrontational training. Robben was assigned to the main team. However, after a fight with Drenthe, Robben fell to the ground in pain. The team doctor quickly took him back to the hotel , followed by massage therapy.

Afterwards, the Real Madrid team doctor revealed that Robben's injury was due to too much training in recent days, and his thigh muscles could not bear such a high intensity, which led to the injury.

In the subsequent training, Robben's position was replaced by the youth training teenager Parejo.

Before the warm-up match, Robben's specific injury report has not been made public, but one thing is certain is that Peter Pan's physical condition is not enough for him to participate in Real Madrid's debut this summer.Judging from relevant records, this injury is Robben's 2007th since joining Real Madrid in 10. It seems that Peter Pan's leg problem is already quite serious.

In addition to Robben, Van Nistelrooy was also absent due to injury, and another Dutchman in the team, Huntelaar, simply did not accompany the team due to being caught in a transfer whirlpool.

If you look at it this way, the current Real Madrid team is also full of problems. It depends on whether the new coach can integrate this team with many big names and many problems.

Of course, these things are not the focus for Ronaldo. He is just looking forward to the start of the first game in Real Madrid.

Real Madrid coach Pellegrini also attaches great importance to his first game. For the game, he has a 433 formation starting list.

Goalkeeper: Dudek

Defenders: Miguel Torres, Pepe, Metzelder, Marcelo

Midfielders: Gago, Las Diarra, Guti

Forwards: Ronaldo, Higuain, Raul

Most of the players who received the starting list were seasoned and calm waiting for the arrival of the game.

Ronaldo, who has always been beaming, bluntly expressed his desire and expectation for the game.

Such a straightforward appearance made Guti very fond of it. The Real Madrid vice team patted Ronaldo on the shoulder with a smile, expressing his satisfaction.

"Love the game so much."

Goody asked.

"like!"

Cristiano Ronaldo said bluntly with bright eyes.

Guti smiled flamboyantly, "I like you like this."

Vigorous, excited, and full of desire for the game, seeing Ronaldo like this, Guti felt that he was also full of energy.

On the other hand, the hard-fated captain Raul had to observe the reactions of others, especially another new aid, Benzema, who sat aside without getting a chance to start. On the surface, he didn’t seem to care too much. .

Today in Dublin, the weather is fine, and the Tarragot Stadium is packed with spectators. The two teams have never had a record of an official match in history, but today Dublin fans can watch Ronaldo before most Real Madrid fans. Real Madrid debut.

Although the home team players let go of harsh words before the game, the atmosphere in the stadium is still quite friendly. Everyone is looking forward to the performance of Mr. Ten Thousand Ronaldo.

The game started.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who made his debut, was very active in running and dribbling, showing his breakthrough ability, which also earned cheers from the fans at the scene.

However, it seems that Rangers goalkeeper Barry Murphy is very serious about fulfilling his promise to prevent opponents from scoring goals, including Ronaldo.

Of course, he succeeded.

Ronaldo shook his head in disappointment, and he was a little helpless with the opponent's goalkeeper's performance.

Guti walked over and patted Ronaldo on the back, "Don't worry."

Being able to be comforted by Guti, who has always been irritable, Ronaldo had a wonderful feeling in his heart, "Okay."

The two looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly heard the screams of many girl fans at the scene.

Ronaldo froze for a moment, while Guti skillfully waved around and even blew a kiss.

This time, the screams in the stadium were even more deafening. It can be said that not only the female fans, but also many male fans also screamed.

Mom, the charm of attracting fans like this... Ronaldo is a little envious and a little unhappy.

"Boy, hurry up."

Guti blinked triumphantly, and then slapped Ronaldo on the back.

Not far away, Raul made an obvious gesture of covering his face. Although he quickly put down his hand, for some reason, many girl fans suddenly yelled the name of 'Raul', and by the way, there were people in the stands A photo poster of Raul and Guti in the same frame was played.

Pfft, Ronaldo couldn't help laughing.

Guti ran away with an indifferent smile on his face.

Poor Raul shook his head and was speechless.

Even if someone was in a normal mood, bursts of laughter came from the Real Madrid bench at this time.

Maybe he laughed too much. In the next game, Ronaldo's luck was too bad. Several of his shots either hit the goal post or were hugged by the opponent's goalkeeper. Even if Ronaldo created opportunities for his teammates, the ball Still can't get in.

So 45 minutes passed in the first half. Although Ronaldo fully demonstrated his ability to ride a bicycle, steal the ball and run, it was a pity that the goal was missed.

Ronaldo looked a little unhappy.

It seems that he made Guti happier. When he was off the field, Guti put his arms around Ronaldo's shoulders very skillfully, and walked off the field with him with a smile.

In the second half, Pellegrini started to make substitutions. Most of the starting players were replaced. Van der Vaart and Benzema were both replaced. In almost half of the game, the two hit the crossbar and goal post continuously. It seems that the Real Madrid players really had no luck scoring goals today.

But before the finale, Benzema received a long pass from his teammate and directly counterattacked the goal. The goal actually went in!

Even Benzema himself seemed a little surprised, his eyes widened until the referee's whistle sounded to announce that the goal was valid, and he jumped up excitedly.

Ronaldo on the sidelines blinked aggrievedly, feeling a little upset, well, very upset.

Guti, who was standing there beside him, laughed, "Benzema is not bad!"

The little revolutionary friendship that had just been established was immediately ridiculed by the "cruel" reality, and Ronaldo glared at Guti angrily.

Real Madrid's 1-0 victory made a good start to the preseason.

Uncle Guti, "I am very happy, is there a problem?"

Ronaldo, "huh!"

"Little devil!"

"You are the brat!"

"Haha, kid!"

"certainly not!!!"

…………

The two bickering were collectively despised by the surrounding teammates—how old are these two guys! ! !

Raul (covering his face): Can you pack these two guys and throw them out? ? ?
