When many players on the training ground talked about the Ballon d'Or ceremony with envy, Cristiano Ronaldo seemed indifferent to it. When the coach asked the team to rest, Cristiano Ronaldo called out Ribery, and the two practiced short distance 10 meters apart.
pass.
Left foot, right foot, left foot, right foot, Ronaldo keeps changing the foot he uses to pass the ball. In the past few years, he has been honing his balance on both feet. Now he has made some progress and can shoot left and right!
Doesn’t he know about the Golden Globe Award? Does he know? Does he have fantasies? Does he envy others? That’s not the case.
He had only one reaction: he continued to train silently.
No matter Ronaldo’s teammates or coaches, no one has the ability to foresee the future, but in their hearts, they all have the same idea: It is unreasonable for this kid not to succeed in the future!
While others are resting, Cristiano Ronaldo is training.
Others are entertaining, Ronaldo is training.
Others are picking up girls, Ronaldo is training...
If Nedved is the god of steel in the first team, then Cristiano Ronaldo is the youth team, the training pacesetter in the reserve team, no one can surpass him in terms of training volume, training attitude, and hard work, no one!
Football is not an industry where success can only be achieved through hard work. In addition to hard work, there is also the most critical point: talent.
The amount of talent is very important, second-rate, first-rate, super first-rate, sweat is difficult to cross the gap between strength levels, but without sweat as a foundation, talent is illusory.
Talent cannot be generalized. In terms of talent alone, Cristiano Ronaldo is not as good as Ronaldinho or Messi. Even though he can make many fancy moves, he is not very practical. This is also the difference between top European players and South American players.
But when it comes to talents in other aspects. For example, in confrontation, Ronaldo is the same
The top of the age group, this is extremely important in the eyes of coaches. After all, when evaluating a player, a comprehensive consideration must be made, rather than one specific item. Otherwise, in terms of skills alone, the feel and skills of an excellent street football performer will be perfect.
Beat 90% of professional players. But can they be allowed to play official games?
Aldridge came to the side of the reserve team training field, said hello to the coaching staff, then called Ronaldo in front of him and said to him: "From tomorrow on, you will come to the first team training."
Ronaldo froze on the spot and asked after a long while: "Is it just training?"
Aldrich frowned slightly, and Ronaldo immediately puffed up his chest and said loudly: "I understand, boss!"
Aldrich's eyebrows widened and he said softly: "There are some rules in the first team locker room. When you go to the locker room, someone will tell you what rules you should abide by when you have your own wardrobe. I'm just telling you.
One point, in the first team, you do whatever I ask you to do. If you have any questions, you can come to me in the office privately, but the premise is that you must obey the command. This is
The basis of communication is that I will not persuade the players to accept my arrangements. I will only explain when the players have questions, so that the players can have a clear mind and understand in their hearts. You can ask me to give reasons, but you cannot question me.
We cannot try to resist the decision, otherwise, there will be no possibility for us to fight side by side, because we cannot trust each other. Do you understand?"
Cristiano Ronaldo was previously in a daze because he didn't know what Aldrich's plan was for bringing him up to the first team. Is it a temporary transfer or is he officially entering the first team?
After what Aldrich said, Ronaldo had an answer in his mind.
The boss told me so much, which means I will stay in the first team for a long time!
The mood was extremely exciting, but Ronaldo quickly suppressed the joy in his heart. His eyes became sharp and lively, and he raised his head as if with a sense of vitality. He knew that entering the first team was nothing, it could only be said that he had it.
It is the real starting point of a career. Whether it is a dragon or an worm depends on your future performance!
While other reserve team members were talking enthusiastically about the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, Cristiano Ronaldo cleaned out his wardrobe in the reserve team locker room and tore off the name tag on the wardrobe. He packed the items in a small bag, took his backpack and walked out of the reserve.
In the team locker room, I left without looking back, saying to myself: I will never come back, never come back!
When he came to participate in joint training with the first team, Ronaldo seemed nervous and deep, which was out of tune with the atmosphere in the team.
Because the big brothers in the team are not here, the substitute players seem to have removed a layer of mental shackles. The atmosphere in the training is relatively relaxed. On the contrary, Ronaldo looks like he is preparing for a life-and-death duel.
Teammates don't think it's strange to see them. They will also be in this state on the eve of their first appearance in the game. Who can be calm in the face of opportunities?
Aldridge treats Ronaldo equally in the first team. He does not receive any special treatment. If he insists on saying that he does, it is that Aldridge treats him more harshly. In addition, he rarely gets angry with players during training.
Just like the extremely demanding requirements he had for Ronaldinho back then.
In the eyes of ordinary people, if Ronaldo achieves 60 points and passes, Aldrich will angrily scold him. If Ronaldo achieves 80 points, Aldrich will encourage him to work harder. Only when Ronaldo achieves 90 points,
Aldrich nodded reluctantly.
After four days of training with the team, Cristiano Ronaldo and the first-team substitute lineup are not fully integrated, but at least they have a certain mutual understanding.
The most important thing is that he has to call Klose. Kaká doesn’t have to worry, because although Kaká is training with the first team, when he is not included in the game squad, Kaká will go to the reserve team to play with Cristiano Ronaldo.
There has been cooperation for some time.
In the weekend game, Millwall started with three people at the front: Kaká, Cristiano Ronaldo, Miroslav Klose, an attacking midfielder and two forwards.
At the weekend, Millwall visited Leicester City. Aldridge started with the substitute lineup. Fleet Street teased that Aldridge's formation was stretched because if Ronaldo is not transferred to the first team, this league will not be possible for Millwall.
We can’t even make up the big list!
Leicester City is getting worse and worse. This year's league performance is a mess. If they want to successfully avoid relegation, unless a miracle happens.
It’s good to play against such a team. The opponent is playing at home and must score points to avoid relegation. Moreover, it is a difficult situation where there is basically no difference between 1 point and 0 points. Millwall is on the bench and Leicester City will play against them.
There are ideas, especially among Millwall's forwards. There is a new face who is not yet 17 years old. The outside world feels that the forward line is weak. Klose is the only one to carry the offensive banner.
Aldridge was also very considerate and set up a 4312 formation. It seemed that he wanted the main players to rest, and the substitutes to score 1 point to hang out, and then wait for the main players to return and then go all out to play the East London Derby in the Christmas campaign!
For this game, Aldridge did not boost the team's morale in the locker room. On the contrary, he asked the players to stay calm. Forget about the standings and told them that Leicester City will definitely attack at home. Why? Because?
We are young, and they may use barbaric methods to keep us at bay!
For Ronaldo, Aldrich didn't give any special encouragement. He knew that he didn't need to say anything special to Ronaldo.
Because, from the day he came to Millwall at the age of 12, Cristiano Ronaldo has been waiting for today. Waiting for the moment to officially enter the professional league.
He must be ready!
Wearing the number 37 jersey, Ronaldo made his debut in the Premier League with his head held high. He was unsmiling, giving the impression that this young man was too serious. Maybe he was nervous.
Ronaldo knows that his family must be paying attention to him through the TV screen now.
He is not looking forward to this moment alone, but the entire family, parents, brothers and sisters.
At such a young age, he has shouldered too much, and it has nothing to do with national affairs, but his immediate interests, which are related to the lives and destiny of his relatives.
Cristiano Ronaldo told himself countless times: I must succeed!
Yes, only by success can we get rid of poverty, let our relatives live a good life, stop ourselves from going back to the slums, and become a superior person.
It is this ideal and fighting spirit that is both simple and selfish, and cannot be confused with nobility, that has supported him to this day.
Under the age of 17, he will not only appear in the Premier League, but also in the top stages of the five major leagues!
Moreover, he still stands out among the most powerful teams in the contemporary era, which makes him even more valuable.
There are many 16-year-old talents competing in top leagues.
But there are very few talents who can represent the top giants at the age of 16.
From the beginning of the game, Ronaldo was very serious and active. He dared to fight and grab on the court, and he was eye-catching when running.
Leicester City attacked boldly from the start.
For small teams, the 90-minute game itself is not a long period of time. Just like a statistic that will be counted in the future, it is the ball possession time. This is very different from the ball possession rate statistics. The ball possession rate is
Take control of the ball, for example, if a passes to b, the ball will fly
The ball possession rate is also calculated during the game, but the ball possession time statistics are not calculated. In a 90-minute game, a strong team will often have the ball for more than 35 minutes, while a weak team may have the ball for less than 20 minutes. The remaining time
During the downtime, the ball was flying in the sky.
The weak team itself does not have the ball for long, the basis for creating opportunities is not strong, and the rhythm of the game is even more uncontrollable. Therefore, we usually see small teams with well-established skills and tactics often choose to explode in a certain period of time.
, seize the best opportunity to play a period of offensive**, instead of playing the whole game from beginning to end.
Go ahead and try, maybe you have been defending for the first 80 minutes, and just waiting for the 81st minute to catch the opponent off guard. The premise is that you have not conceded the ball before, and the strong team has not scored a goal in the 80th minute. Maybe your mentality will be unbalanced.
, became aggressive and anxious, played into the weak team's hands, and were upset without paying attention.
For a team like Leicester City, the skills and tactics are completely unformed. There was a time when they were well-formed. When O'Neill was coaching, they played defensively and counterattacked vigorously. They lived a comfortable life in the Premier League. After O'Neill left, this team
The formation has been completely destroyed, and now it is a piece of scattered sand.
They can't afford to compete with their opponents, so they wait and see, wait, wait, maybe the game will be over.
Millwall did not put out 433 today, but instead used a conservative formation of 4312. Leicester City actually did not think about it that much, they just fought hard. If luck comes and they catch Millwall off guard first, then it is not too late to consider defense later.
, if they really conceded the ball first, it seems that they themselves would not be surprised.
After Leicester City's offensive posture was put into place, Millwall had room to counterattack. Cristiano Ronaldo played according to the rules and did not have too many personal performances at the beginning. He honestly attacked Klose, but after the game
After 10 minutes, Ronaldo discovered something strange.
Something that made him unexpected but extremely happy! (To be continued...)
