Once upon a time, Ronaldo also had a time when he was called "Ronaldinho" because when he first debuted, there was another very famous Ronaldo in Brazil.
But gradually, Ronaldo used his performance on the court to turn the Brazilian surname Ronaldo into his exclusive noun.
Ronaldinho was hailed as Ronaldinho as soon as he debuted. Everyone expected him to follow in Ronaldo's footsteps. He himself was the same, eager to follow in Ronaldinho's footsteps like his predecessors.
Become Ronaldo.
From Gremio to Paris Saint-Germain, Ronaldinho has always lived in Ronaldo's shadow.
This situation improved slightly until the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, when he formed a 3R combination with Ronaldo and Rivaldo and helped the Brazilian team win the World Cup, but there are still many people who care about it.
His name is Ronaldo Jr.
He doesn't like the small print!
From Paris Saint-Germain to Barcelona, for many reasons.
For example, officially, he has said many times that he is eager to succeed in Barcelona like Ronaldo. He is eager to achieve results in this giant team and go to the Champions League stage to prove his strength.
There's also the fact that he didn't enjoy his stay at Paris Saint-Germain.
But deep down in his heart, he has a purpose that he has never told anyone.
European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year!
These two awards are the key to his transformation from Ronaldinho to Ronaldo. Only when he gets them will others recognize him.
Russell was a friend he had known for a long time. He knew his thoughts and tried every means to persuade him to come to Barcelona.
Although, in the first season after joining, Barcelona couldn't even play in the Champions League, he didn't care.
Because he believes that he can help this wealthy team usher in a revival.
Sure enough, Russell fulfilled the promise he made to him. After a season of adjustments, Barcelona gradually got on the right track and began to introduce Brazilian players in large quantities, allowing Ronaldinho to stay here for a long time.
Comfortable.
Although there was a dispute during this period that almost caused Rijkaard to be dismissed from get out of class, but overall, it was still controllable.
But all of this changed after Su Dong joined!
If Ronaldinho has been Ronaldinho for several years, whether it is the media, fans, or even Ronaldo himself, then Su Dong's emergence is like a sudden appearance.
Before his debut in Portugal, no one had even heard of his name.
As if overnight, he suddenly made his debut from Sporting Lisbon and suddenly became famous.
After that, Sudong's development was out of control.
He won the Portuguese Super League and UEFA Cup double at Sporting Lisbon. After switching to Valencia, he won the La Liga and Champions League double in his first season. What’s even more frightening is that in the past two seasons, he has
Won the Portuguese Super League, UEFA Cup, La Liga and Champions League, as well as the European Golden Boot Award, five heavy Golden Boot Awards.
Having just turned twenty, Su Dong is even younger and better than Ronaldo back then.
Overnight, the whole world was crazy about Su Dong.
Everything Ronaldo had enjoyed back then, and everything he had never enjoyed before, all went to Su Dong.
But all this has nothing to do with Ronaldinho. He is still Barcelona's number one star and still enjoys the privileges of the Barcelona team. Many people even say that Barcelona suffers from a terminal disease. Ronaldinho
Dependence.
But Su Dong, who had no relationship at first, became involved with him after a transfer of the century worth 80 million euros.
Su Dong came to Barcelona!
From the first day Sudong joined Barcelona, the whole world was talking about which of the two would become Barcelona's number one?
The two are good friends, but not close friends. Their cooperation on the court is more about professional ethics.
Ronaldinho once told Su Dong that he didn't mind what the outside world said, he just wanted to play football happily.
This is indeed what he means.
However, behind playing football happily is that he has to be happy.
He has been under a lot of pressure since he injured his ankle.
He was eager to play, whether it was against Racing Santander or Sevilla. He wanted to play and repeatedly asked the team doctor to review his ankle, but the final results failed, which made him unable to participate in the game.
But in the Brazilian national team, he played every game, and played two games in a row. He was in good condition and performed well.
Why can't I play at Barcelona?
More importantly, when he couldn't play, Su Dong shined in the game. How could this stop him from being anxious?
He knew very well that in his absence, the better Su Dong performed, the easier it would be for the fans to forget about him.
So, the day after Barcelona played Sevilla, Ronaldinho came to Sports City very early.
He made an appointment with the team doctor to have his ankle re-examined.
This time, he must get a pass to return to the game.
…………
…………
When Ronaldinho went to the medical room and passed the gym, he could see everything happening inside from the outside.
He saw a burly man with his back turned to him, practicing pull-ups on the equipment, again and again, without stopping.
Each time, he built up amazing muscles in his arms, shoulders and back.
Although he was sweating from training, Su Dong was still meticulous and didn't even notice Ronaldinho outside the window next to him. The Brazilian was looking at him, and with every pull-up he did, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
.
This guy is a training fiend!
It's hard to imagine that he just played a league game in the heavy rain last night.
If you really want to be encouraged, then what Ronaldinho admires most about Su Dong is the gym, because he doesn't like gyms at all, and if possible, he hopes not to set foot in this place in his life.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is difficult for him to imagine what a person who spends all day in the gym is thinking?
Ronaldinho also knew in his heart that Su Dong was able to be where he is today entirely because of hard work.
He even admired Su Dong's training intensity.
But……
…
"Or not!"
After a detailed examination, the team doctor shook his head and said, "According to the current situation, your ankle has only recovered 70% at most. Before it reaches 100% recovery, I will definitely not dare to prescribe it for you."
Proven by appearances.”
Ronaldinho breathed out depressedly, "Please, I played two games with the national team and I feel good."
"It's just because you were injured in those two games with the national team that it slowed down your recovery, you know?" the team doctor reminded.
But obviously, Ronaldinho didn't listen.
Like most Brazilians, he is wary and distrustful of European team doctors.
After bidding farewell to the team doctor and walking out of the medical room, Ronaldinho went directly to head coach Frank Rijkaard's office.
He left half an hour later when the team was about to train.
After that, he still conducted rehabilitation training alone.
"How about it?"
After the training, the Brazilian players gathered around Ronaldinho, and Belletti asked with concern.
Ronaldinho shook his head, "He still didn't agree, but he agreed that I would go to Amsterdam with the team. Whether I can play depends on the review before the game. If everything goes well, he will let me go."
As he spoke, Ronaldinho lost his usual joy and frowned.
He knew that he could no longer waste time.
If Su Dong continues to perform like this, his status in the team will only continue to be shaken. If Su Dong really wins the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or, it will be tantamount to confirming Su Dong's status in Barcelona.
.
How will he deal with himself at that time?
"Ankle injuries like this are very troublesome, so you really shouldn't be careless," Sylvinho advised.
Everyone nodded. The situation was indeed urgent now, but if there were injuries, it would not be worth the loss.
"I heard that Sudong's physical therapist Grant Downing is very good at rehabilitation training. How about asking him?" Deco suggested.
He has a good relationship with Su Dong and is relatively familiar with Su Dong's personal coaching team. In addition, he is also a professional player, so he naturally pays more attention to it.
"It's useless to ask. Do you think he would lend his personal trainer to his top competitor?" Edmilson asked in return.
Everyone was speechless.
Although no one said it, everyone knew that Su Dong and Ronaldinho were indeed competitors.
What the two are competing for is the position of the number one star in the team.
"Actually, he is quite nice. I think he can borrow it." Deco asked himself, knowing Su Dong quite well.
But no one else believed it.
Who would be willing to help someone who is competing with them?
"I don't believe it anyway." Edmilson shook his head.
Deco also wanted to defend Su Dong, but by this time Ronaldinho had already shouted stop.
"Okay, let's not talk about this matter anymore. Anyway, I will go to the away game with the team and we will talk about it then."
While he was talking, he vaguely heard the conversation between Su Dong, Harvey and others not far away.
They made an appointment and planned to play at the temporary indoor football field set up in the corridor of the sports city.
The two parties agreed on a three-on-three match. Sudong planned to form a team with young Iniesta and Messi, while Xavi wanted to form a team with Puyol and Herard. Whoever lost the bet would be invited to dinner.
Watching them walk by, Ronaldinho and others didn't look very good on their faces.
He hired someone to build that field not long ago, just to have a fight with several Brazilian players in the team.
All Brazilian players are basically trained in indoor football fields.
But now, they haven't used it, but Su Dong and others have used it.
This gave him the feeling that he was making wedding clothes for others.
No, we must not wait any longer!
The longer he waits, the less likely he will be in this team.
In the middle of the week, we have an away game against Ajax in the Champions League. I must win this game!
Not only must he play, but he must perform well and show his strength so that everyone knows that Barcelona's number one star is still Ronaldinho!
