The Day I Played with Ronaldo

The first is to lose the ball. In Inter Milan's first two goals, Roma opened the situation from Zanetti's side, which shows that Zanetti is really struggling at the left back position. And Stankovic did not protect him enough, leaving Zanetti in a situation of fighting alone.

Continuing to look back, Mancini's brows gradually wrinkled.

Seeing Riccardo scoring a long shot and seeing Veron injured and replaced by Davis, he slapped his thigh suddenly.

Before Veron was substituted, he made a total of 39 passes, only one of which was to the Brazilian.

How many Brazilians did Inter Milan play? There are 3 people! And there are 2 of them in the frontcourt!

No wonder when Veron was on the court, he rarely passed the ball forward! Even though Ricciardo and Adriano have already run to a good position, Veron will not pass the ball over!

This shows what?

Has the conflict in the locker room become so serious?

He continued to look down. Pay attention to Licado's running position and handling of the ball, and he can't help but nod while watching.

Even though I have seen it on the spot, it is a different feeling to watch it now through the video. But there will also be an adjective: pleasing to the eye.

Every time Ricardo handles the ball, his movements are so pleasing to the eye. This is the characteristic of Brazilian players. In contrast, Adriano really does not look like a Brazilian.

From the point of view of movement, Ricardo is obviously more agile than Adriano.

Although Adriano's physical fitness is superior and his impact in front of the penalty area is stronger, Ricardo's threat to opponents is by no means less than that of Adriano.

I kept watching Totti score a direct free kick, Inter Milan led 4:3, and he replaced Ricardo. At this time, Mancini was concentrating again, trying to find the problems in Inter Milan's defense.

As time went by, his frown became deeper and deeper.

Disorganized, lacking layers, no mutual protection, this is the current defense of Inter Milan.

After watching the whole game, he looked back at it again, this time he didn't watch it without stopping for a second, but dragged it from time to time.

With the help of the video, find the current problems of Inter Milan.

offense wins fans,

Defense wins championships.

Now Inter Milan's attack line is definitely the top in the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the number one in the world.

But the defense is really...

How to adjust it?

The international break followed, and Mancini's side were given some respite.

Brazil lacked Ronaldo, with Adriano and Ricardo as the starting strikers, Ronaldinho and Kaka in the midfield, the luxurious lineup played a good record, 3:0 and 2: With a score of 0, they defeated Venezuela and Colombia and continued to lead the South American division of the World Cup qualifiers.

Back in Italy, Ricciardo and Adriano played non-stop with the team against Udinese at home.

In this game, Inter Milan's starting lineup has changed again. Veron is on the bench, Stankovic and Cambiasso are in the midfield, the left midfielder Emre, the right midfielder Van der Meyder, the forwards are Ricardo and Adriano's partner.

In the first half, Ricciardo made a great contribution with a pass and Adriano scored twice. Inter Milan leads 3:0. In the second half of the game, Martins, who came off the bench, scored another goal, and the team finally defeated the opponent 4:1.

This is the first time since this season that Inter Milan's performance is not so frightening for the fans. It established an advantage early and successfully maintained it until the end, without letting the fans ride a roller coaster.

On October 21, Inter Milan ushered in the Champions League group stage match again. They challenged last season's La Liga champion Valencia at the Mestaia Stadium.

Mancini once again made a challenge to the starting lineup. Goalkeeper Fontana, right back Cordoba, left back Favalli, and the center back combination is Materazzi and Burdisso who have returned from injury. The right forward Stankovic, the left forward Emre, the striker still chooses the partner of Ricardo and Adriano.

Valencia was able to win the La Liga championship last season, so it is by no means an underdog. The frontcourt combination of Diwayo, Aimar, and Angulo is a god-blocking god in La Liga, and the Buddha blocks the Buddha.

However, Inter Milan has been anti-customer from the very beginning, Ricardo and Adriano are very active in the frontcourt.

Mancini had a talk with Zanetti, hoping that Zanetti would persuade Veron well. He didn't know how the communication between Zanetti and Veron was going. In order to prevent Veron from sending shells to the two Brazilian forwards during the game, Mancini asked Stankovic and Emre to take more balls during the game. pass forward.

These two players faithfully carried out his request.

In the 7th minute, Stankovic kicked the ball into the penalty area, and Ricado's header went slightly wide, scaring Valencia back quickly.

Valencia's counterattack was also very threatening. In the 15th minute, Aimar broke through on the right and then made a cross. Di Vaio's shot was saved by veteran Fontana with one hand. Angulo followed up with a supplementary shot. The ball was bound to be scored, but Fontana still reacted and shot the ball out unbelievably.

This is also Valencia's most threatening attack.

Then the game completely fell into the orbit of Inter Milan. In the 29th minute, Emre instigated the attack, Stankovic made a cross, and Adriano volleyed slightly wide with his left foot.

In the 32nd minute, Ricardo broke through with the ball and distributed it to his partner. Adriano tried to break through Valencia's last line of defense with the ball, but Torres blocked him with a tactical foul.

In the 34th minute, Adriano dribbled the ball through three Valencia players in a row, and then distributed the ball in the penalty area. Ricardo took the ball and tapped his heel, and Emre, who followed up, shot slightly wide.

In the 39th minute, Adriano made a cross from the left side. Ricardo didn't waste the opportunity this time. He pushed the ball with his right foot in front of the goal and the ball went into the net.

Inter Milan entered the break with a score of 1:0.

In the first half of the game, Veron did not pass a ball to the combination of Ricardo and Adriano.

But Mancini didn't say anything, just took a deep look at Veron.

He has regrets in his heart: If the Brazilian gang and the Argentine gang can live in harmony, how strong this Inter Milan team will be.

Just two minutes into the second half, Stankovic headed past Valencia, assisted by Favalli.

Two minutes later, Inter Milan launched an offensive again. After Adriano dribbled on the right side of the penalty area, he suddenly made a cross. A sideways volley sent the football into the top right corner of the goal.

After scoring the goal, Ricardo did not get up to celebrate. After finishing the shot, he collided with Torres and fell to the ground. Torres was on top of him.

The team doctor rushed into the field and carried Ricardo out of the field for inspection, only to see that Ricardo's left shoulder was already swollen.

"He can't continue playing," the team doctor Konby told Mancini. "It should be a strained shoulder ligament. It could be a dislocation. In the worst case, it could be a tear of the greater tuberosity. In that case, it would be an injury. Two months."

Mancini masked his anxiety: "Let's hope it's not the worst."

When Ronaldo was injured, Ricardo was injured again, which made things worse.
