The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Mancini did not allow the players to be interviewed by the media before the game against Juventus, but he himself was not restrained.

"Capello's Juventus are terrible, they have only lost one game this season. But this collision is at our home ground, we have the support of the fans. The players understand what this game means. , they will give everything in this Italian derby. So I believe, we will take all three points at San Siro."

"Juventus has the best defense in the world, and there are world-class players like Nedved. The Swedish high center Ibrahimovic is also very threatening," Mancini talked eloquently, showing off Smoke bomb, "But I think they still have weaknesses. I have found Juventus' weaknesses and you will see them in the game."

"Unfortunately, Ricardo's recovery from his injury is not as good as expected. I will not risk him playing. The attacking line formed by Ronaldo and Adriano is strong enough. They may be the best striker combination on the planet. I don't think so. Cannavaro and Thuram can stop them."

"Ronaldo is a myth in world football. His speed and explosiveness are almost perfect. Just like there is only one Pele and one Maradona, Ronaldo is also unique."

Capello laughed at Mancini's smoke bomb: "Just wait and see, Ricardo will definitely appear in the game. I don't believe a single punctuation mark in what Mancini said."

"Ronaldo and Adriano are both very strong. No one doubts this. But defense depends on the whole. Mancini has to learn more in this regard."

"As a senior, I would like to advise Mancini: Don't give too much meaning to this game, it will make the players overheated. In fact, this is an ordinary league game, and only 3 points are won."

The Juventus players couldn't wait to jump out one by one to be interviewed by the media.

Ibrahimovic said: "I respect Ronaldo very much. He doesn't belong to this planet. I never miss any of Ronaldo's game broadcasts. Looking at his skills, style, feints, and passing people, I follow him. In my own words, he is the best, the most comprehensive, unique. But football is not a one-man game, Ronaldo is very strong, no one can completely freeze him, but Inter Milan is not our opponent."

Emerson said: "I know Ronaldo, Adriano and Ricardo. I often play with them in the national team. If I want to list the names of the ten best offensive players in the world, of course Ronaldo It is ranked first, and Adriano and Ricardo must also be ranked in the top ten. But football is not a simple game of data accumulation. As a team, Juventus is much better than Inter Milan. Inter Milan this season Made too many senseless mistakes."

"Ronaldo is a real phenomenon, he has created a peak in Serie A that no other striker can surpass," Nedved said, "and with a helper like Adriano beside him, in the game we have to give it our all. Go, come up with 200% of your strength."

In fact, Riccardo also wanted to shout out from the air. Nedved and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are players he admires very much. Unfortunately, Mancini under the gag order.

At the press conference the day before the game, Mancini still talked about Ricardo's injury: "He has only recovered to 50%, at most 60%. For the sake of his career, I will not take the risk of letting him play. .”

"We have Ronaldo. Mind you, it's Ronaldo who is in good shape and has scored three goals in the last two league games. There is no doubt that he is the number one striker in the world. With him playing for us, I think Ricardo's absence is a bit Regrettable, but not unacceptable."

"We will defend well in this game and will not let Juventus score easily. Regarding how to limit Nedved and Ibrahimovic,

We are fully prepared. "

Mancini was throwing smoke bombs again, trying to make Capello miscalculate the tactics he would adopt.

And Capello said: "No matter what tactics Inter Milan adopts, Juventus will only play their own football."

At least judging from the war of words between the two sides before the game, it should be Capello who has the upper hand. Marshal Mancini exposed his immaturity, like a little cunning little fox, while Capello is a seasoned hunter who has laid out many traps waiting for him to step into.

But what are the facts?

On the evening of November 28th, the San Siro stadium was packed, and 80,000 fans came to watch the game where Mars hit the earth.

Among them, there are only more than 5,000 Juventus fans, and the entire Meazza Stadium is like a blue-black ocean.

In the North Stand, those fan organizations put up their own huge slogans, singing, dancing, and shouting slogans in an orderly manner.

A huge portrait of Ronaldo appeared on the second floor of the North Stand, with a line of words under the portrait: "His Majesty the King of Meazza".

During the warm-up, Ronaldo stepped forward to greet the fans in the North Stand, smiling and appearing in a good mood.

And Ricardo also appeared in the warm-up ranks.

When the game was about to start and the Inter Milan players stepped out of the player tunnel, Ricardo was also there!

"Everything is as expected," Cannavaro said with a smile to Thuram, the central defender partner beside him, "BOSS has already seen through their tricks."

"So what if you see through," Thuram said seriously, "Don't underestimate him. I played against him last year. He is not an ordinary young player, but this year he will definitely grow again. Underestimate him, you will paid for it."

"It has nothing to do with me. My task today is to do my best to freeze Ronaldo," Cannavaro shook his head, "Don't expect me to be distracted to fill your place, but you should remember to support me. I am alone. Probably frozen Ronaldo, he's an alien."

"Understood, I will support you when necessary," Thuram grinned his thick lips, revealing his white teeth. Compared with his skin color, his teeth always look particularly white, "Whether we can escape here today depends mainly on you."

Ricardo was also talking to Adriano in a low voice, "Ronnie must be the opponent's key target today. The two of us need to connect more, and it is very likely that we will be needed to resolve the battle in the end."

Adriano nodded and shook his head: "It's impossible for them to guard against Ronnie. Ronnie is the best in the world. But we need to give him more support."

"So you should work harder for me today, and move more aggressively, you know?" Licado knocked on Adriano's bare head lightly.

"Understood!" Adriano smiled, not feeling offended at all.
