Surprisingly, both Jazz and Mendes remained silent afterwards, and neither of them mentioned Cristiano and Leo's pretending not to know each other and the following story of "the most important thing in Europe" - Cristiano didn't understand , but Leo felt that there was nothing wrong with it, after all, they would all be less troubled.

Although Cristiano felt that there must be fraud in it, since Leo felt that it didn't matter, he couldn't say too much in front of him.

Just in Cristiano's doubts, a more important game after Zurich came-this was still a game against Arsenal, but it was an FA Cup.

Mr. Wenger obviously made up his mind this time, and vowed to beat Manchester United again and win back his one-point deficit in the league points competition. He reaffirmed his determination from the pre-match press conference. Shown.

——"You asked how to mark the opponent's main attacker. This is a good question. Of course I can't tell you how we will do it now, but I can tell you that we have made a careful deployment for Ronaldo."

"Have you decided that Ronaldo is the most important one for Manchester United?" the reporter asked immediately.

"Otherwise? Do you have a better answer?" Mr. Wenger asked.

The answer is of course no.

And Cristiano really felt how the "careful deployment" that Mr. Wenger called from the first minute of the game worked.

In the 5th minute after the start of the game, Cristiano received the ball for the first time in this field——Cristiano had just got the ball from Ferdinand, and three people from Arsenal's backcourt surrounded him, blocking his forward route and splitting with him. The ball goes the way of Rooney and Tevez.And that wasn't even the end, as the Arsenal midfielder moved a man over and then blocked Cristiano's return pass to Giggs.

Cristiano had to quickly return to the side from the middle.

Tevez retreated to respond, and at the same time Scholes also stepped in from the back row of the center to prepare to respond - Cristiano chose the safest way and handed the ball to Scholes diagonally behind.

After Scholes got the ball, he quickly moved away from Cristiano-this is wise, after all, as soon as he stayed away from Cristiano, the defensive pressure on himself and Cristiano was reduced a lot in an instant.

Manchester United are full of experienced veterans. After this time, they all realized that Arsenal's defensive strategy against Cristiano is actually a traditional crowd tactics, nothing new-but life is like this, and the tradition can survive naturally. It has its own reasons, and in most cases, tradition, if not the best, is an effective way.

In the next 10 minutes, the Manchester United players gave up the pass to Cristiano - they didn't want to, but they knew that the risk of Cristiano receiving the ball was too great.Once Cristiano catches the ball, there will be two or three more people around him. No matter how much they believe in Cristiano's personal ability, they will still think this is too dangerous, thinking that if Cristiano is not careful, Arsenal may Steal the ball directly and play fast break.

Mr. Wenger is very satisfied with the effect he achieved after the first wave of attempts. After all, in his heart, as long as he can prevent Ronaldo from receiving the ball, it is already very ideal.

——Leo was watching TV at home thinking about it, and his father sitting next to him said: "Ronaldo doesn't seem to be able to perform today-he can't even catch the ball, which is really ridiculous. Think about it , Manchester United's most important offensive weapon cannot exert its power, which can be regarded as a disaster for Manchester United."

Leo hummed without raising any objections to this very obvious fact.

"What would you do if it was you?" Old Mr. Messi asked his son——Since Leo signed Mendes, Mr. Old Messi often felt that he could no longer know his son's true thoughts, so he always He tried his best to say a few more words to Leo.

Some might think he didn't care enough for Leo, but the truth is that his son never seemed to care about anyone.

"Wait." Leo said lightly.

The old Mr. Macy didn't quite understand, and he wanted to continue asking, but Leo just shook his head and didn't want to continue this conversation.The old Mr. Macy felt helpless. In the past, Leo would sometimes talk to him because there was no one else to talk to, but now, the old Mr. Macy didn’t know if there was something that made Leo feel Someone Worth Talking to - Leo is less lazy than ever to talk to him and the rest of the family.

Old Mr. Macy's sister said: You asked us to talk to Leo more, but in fact he didn't want to talk to us at all.

——In the 203rd minute of the game, after Arsenal's counterattack was fruitless, Van der Sar kicked the ball from the backcourt and directly passed it to Tevez in the front. After receiving the ball, Tevez hit the goal directly in front of the penalty area. The Arsenal goalkeeper saves the ball over the baseline.

United were able to retain the ball thanks to a save by the Arsenal goalkeeper.

Scholes was about to re-kick off and enter the field. Cristiano suddenly inserted from behind and was suspected to be ready to catch the ball-the Arsenal defenders immediately stepped forward to block the ball as if they were facing a big enemy.

But Cristiano just passed quickly and moved to the wing, and Scholes took advantage of the moment when the Arsenal defenders did not react in time and failed to correctly understand Cristiano's intentions and continued to blindly follow up. The quick drive was handed over to Rooney who slanted in from the center to catch the ball.

The restricted area is almost a vast ocean.

Rooney took advantage of his speed and broke into the almost empty penalty area with all his strength.

Game No. 206 minutes, 1:0, Rooney scored in front of the goal, Manchester United led Arsenal 1:0 at home.

Mr Wenger's face was livid, and he couldn't blame his players for not trying to defend Manchester United's Ronaldo, because he saw firsthand how his defenders tried their best to mark Ronaldo, and even made it almost impossible for him to receive the ball in the past ten minutes .

But in the end the problem still lies with Ronaldo - Ronaldo didn't hit the goal, didn't assist, he just passed quickly between the server and the real receiver, and took away everyone on the Arsenal back line without any suspense. attention.

What else can an Arsenal defender do?The fact that they couldn't not mark Ronaldo, but not completely mark Ronaldo, is a huge paradox in itself, and it's actually happening now - Mr Wenger himself wasn't sure what to ask of his defenders at the moment .

They just couldn't understand Ronaldo's intentions, they just couldn't keep up with Ronaldo's calculation speed, they just had limited abilities-but this was not their fault, because they did their best and implemented the coach's requirements very well.

Therefore, although Mr. Wenger is very angry, he cannot be angry with any player.

In the 30th minute of the game, during Arsenal's quick counterattack in the frontcourt, Cristiano changed positions and came to Fabregas.

——"This game is very important, I must win, and I will definitely win, so you have to watch this game carefully."

Leo remembers that Ronaldo specifically called him before the game and said so very loudly at the beginning.

"Really? Where is more important? Or do you think every game is important?" Leo didn't feel much at the time, just asked casually-he even gave up thinking about Ronaldo's selection of "opponents".

"Revenge." Cristiano snorted, sounding like a huge resentment.

Leo always felt that there seemed to be something wrong, but after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't remember what he had done wrong—after all, to be honest, in his heart, he had never done anything wrong, "To whom?"

"Cesc Fabregas," Cristiano said dryly.

Leo originally wanted to ridicule Cristiano's insanity, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would be better for him not to speak.

——Cesc Fabregas has had a good season this season. Since stealing Cristiano, it has been going smoothly, so when facing the "defeated opponent" again, Fabregas does not have much sense of crisis in his heart.

Fabregas even took the competitive spirit of a young man, and he once again became a blockbuster here with Ronaldo, shocking Europe in one fell swoop.

So Fabregas swayed left and right, trying to get past Cristiano.

Cristiano almost laughed.

——Leo sighed, seeing Cesc Fabregas's shoulder tilt angle, head deflection and arm swing direction were all flawed fake moves, he suddenly felt a little regretful: he doesn't even know that Ronaldo Little holes in feints tell Cesc if he's being nice to him or not.

After all, if Cesc didn't know this and didn't get past Ronaldo, Ronaldo wouldn't be single-minded about seeking revenge from him.

At the same time, Cristiano on TV suddenly stretched out his leg and accurately blocked the path of Fabregas's ball. At the same time, he suddenly turned around and put Fabregas behind him, protecting the ball with the side of his foot. , Dial to the other foot, and then make some adjustments and give the ball to Carlos Tevez at the front.

Tevez knocked Rooney across the penalty area, and Rooney pushed and shot the dead corner of the goal.

The referee signaled Tevez offside.
