The big thing Cristiano imagined didn't happen -- or, at least, not immediately.

But in daily life, Cristiano still keenly felt the slight difference - it is difficult to describe them one by one, but simply put, Keane began to become silent.

This is not to say that Keane is usually noisy, but that Keane always plays the role of the final word in the dressing room, but now he even has the final hammer to be implemented by others.

Cristiano felt a little uneasy, but his experience in the dressing room told him that after being explicitly rejected once more, he should not ask questions until he did something that could be trusted as a grown-up-otherwise he would only It will be even more regarded as young and self-willed, and even annoying.

Manchester United's first official game of the new season is the UEFA Champions League group match at home against Debrezen in early August-Cristiano originally did not intend to give more enthusiasm and attention to this than against the upper and middle reaches of the Premier League.

But the situation is different now.

If anything, this match was perhaps to give Cristiano a legitimate reason to vent his depression after having something big kept hidden in the dressing room and to prove that he was good enough to be considered a grown-up.

Debrecen's defenders have heard the coach emphasize Ronaldo's defense countless times before the start of the game, and they have witnessed so many games in the past two years, and they have already passed the simple and innocent attitude of thinking that Ronaldo is just an ordinary child. stage.

But seeing is better than hearing a hundred times.

Less than 5 minutes into the game, Cristiano got a pass from the midfielder after entering the penalty area from the bottom line. In front of him was a near-zero dead angle. Pass the ball to Ruud Van Nistelrooy who |inserted|up the center.

So no one can blame them for blocking passing lanes even in hindsight - and they blocked them pretty well, with tall centre-backs clinging to Ruud van Nistelrooy for high-altitude balls and nimble full-backs keeping tabs on Christie. The ball at Jarno's feet, guarding the possible passing lanes.

Even if they do it all over again, they may not be able to do better.

But Cristiano had no intention of chasing the pass that day.

He saw a narrow gap in the crowd and saw the goalkeeper's attention between him and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

That ball can't be compared to smashing the yellow dragon straight, it's more like a snake lurking in the grass waiting for an opportunity, just in an instant, it has silently killed its prey.

"Cristiano. 1:0. Less than 5 minutes into the game, Manchester United took the lead at home." The commentator's attitude at the time was calm, "Yes, when Cristiano raised his foot, you knew that Manchester United was going to score-the difference It's just about whether he leaves it to Van Nistelrooy or hits the door himself."

Debrecen served again, but at this time they were already nervous-they conceded the ball in the opening 5 minutes. Even if Debrecen and Manchester United have a considerable strength gap, this is still beyond everyone's imagination.

Debrecen walked the wing, and when he advanced to the midfield, he suddenly made a long pass to find the center, but Ferdinand was alert enough, and immediately followed and squeezed the opponent's center to grab the high-altitude ball.

It's just a pity that the referee called a foul.

It was a free kick in a good position, with good distance and angle.

The opponent's first free kicker [1] took a free kick, which was a good quality free kick, trying to go straight to the goal-but the Manchester United goalkeeper was also good enough to save the ball.

The ball does not go out of bounds.

The first point in the penalty area was won by Debrezen's tall players, but the second point was won by Manchester United to the bottom line.

Next, Debrezen had another chance to attack, but he still made a mistake under the pressure of Manchester United-Keane pressed close to the body, and the opponent player passed the ball in a panic and went directly out of the sideline.

Manchester United have the ball again.

Cristiano received the ball from the wing and made a breakthrough. When he reached the center line, he also kicked it to Van Nistelrooy in the middle. Van Nistelrooy had a long-range chance.

But as everyone knows, Van Nistelrooy has never been lucky with long-range shots.

- The ball is hugged by Debrezen's goalkeeper.

Van Nistelroo patted his chest on Cristiano, saying that the shot was his own mistake.

Cristiano pursed his lips, but knew he had nothing to say.

But the good news is that Debrezen lost the ball again after just 5 minutes.

Manchester United's midfield holds the ball and slowly transitions forward.

There was no more space in the attacking direction in the center, and Cristiano stepped forward to meet him, and then retreated to the wing again.

Debrezen stepped forward to flank and try to steal the ball.

Cristiano turned his back and took a step towards his own half. When he caught the ball again, there was a gap behind him. He pulled the ball and quickly turned around to pass the defender and move forward.

There was an opportunity in the middle at this time, and Cristiano quickly sent the ball.

Before the ball was passed to the penalty area line, the Manchester United players were brought down by Debrezen's defenders.

Manchester United also got a free kick in a good position at this time.

The ball came out, and there was chaos in the penalty area.

"?" The commentator was completely stunned—and his confusion at the moment can also represent the mood of countless spectators, "The goal was scored? How did the goal go in? Officially, Ronaldo scored and Manchester United led 2-0."

Even Leo, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the game, was confused, and even he couldn't understand how the ball rolled into the goal.

"Okay, here comes the slow motion. Let's see what's going on with this ball." The commentator said a little embarrassedly, "There is chaos in the penalty area, this... The angle given by the camera is not very good."

It was undoubtedly a high-altitude ball.

Cristiano fought for the first point, but the defender behind him was taller, and there was more than one defender watching.

If the header hits the goal, it is almost impossible to hit it.

Cristiano unloaded the ball to his feet, suddenly turned around and walked the ground ball to score the goal - after the whole set of movements, Cristiano's movement speed was very fast, even the slow-motion playback was dazzling, not to mention Debrezen's The defensive player still watched the development of the ball at a normal speed.

He didn't react, couldn't save the ball, but even the most strident fans couldn't blame him for a point.

Tens of thousands of people at Old Trafford were silent. They looked at each other, and they didn't even know how to cheer for this young man to be respectful enough.

——” This striker is just stupid—this ball is very simple, just catch it under your feet, pick it up, and then head the ball. "

Ruud van Nistelrooy stared blankly at Cristiano, and suddenly the words that Cristiano had ridiculed the Chelsea striker's performance against Barcelona in the Champions League knockout round came to mind.

Although they were all stunned for a moment, feeling incredible about this whimsical idea, but in private, when Fanny and other old friends discussed it, they thought it was a child’s whimsy, a meaningless God’s perspective of a bystander—— You can't do that because it's a critical moment on the court, how can you be as calm and composed as you are sitting in front of the TV watching the game?

But Cristiano proved that he can, and even, perhaps, only he can.

"This ball is very simple, just unload it after fighting for the top and then go to the ground. At this time, everyone must be defending the high-altitude ball, and the chance of success on the ground is very high. "

Van Nistelrooy guessed that if someone asked Cristiano why the ball went to the ground, Cristiano would definitely say so.

"Why can you think of it? "Giggs asked me that when I was watching the game.

Cristiano pretended not to hear and escaped answering such an embarrassing question, but Ruud van Nistelrooy could answer it for him now.

—” Because I am Ronaldo. "

Because I am Ronaldo, magic can only be called everyday and ordinary to me, even if it is incredible and unimaginable, it is just an ordinary touch of the ball.

Immediately, Fanny was dragged into the big team of celebrating and curling by Ferdinand and the others, but he was always haunted by what was in his mind.

Leo didn't know the story, he just watched the slow-motion loop on the TV, and suddenly looked up at the portrait of Ronaldo that he hung on the living room wall.

It wasn't Ronaldo's face, it was a street painter's painting of a snow wolf dragging its prey and standing in front of a piece of water, while the shadow of the snow fox was reflected on the water in front of the snow wolf.

——"...Humans can't grow up like this, sir.Nor can the reflection of a wolf be a fox. "Ronaldo said this when he got the portrait, "You can't draw blindly against human common sense just because I refuse to take off my sunglasses. "

Mr. Painter looked at Ronaldo with half of his face hidden under the big sunglasses, "I don't draw people's faces, I draw your soul.You know nothing about art. "

Ronaldo snorted at that time, and on the way back, he scolded the painter Mr. a big liar or something, and even mourned for half an hour for the ten euros he spent on buying the painting, and accused Leo of forcing him to refuse when he could. Still buy this weird thing when it comes to paying.

At that time, Leo just asked Ronaldo to pay for the painting because he thought it was fun, but now, Leo seems to understand what the gentleman meant.

Ronaldo is a wolf who shreds his prey, but there is also a witty fox living in his heart.

The author has something to say: [1] An unserious note

In terms of the fact that members of the men's national team are called national players, why is it not a free-kick kicker but a free-kick player?
