The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Maybe there will be a chance to fight again soon.

In another time and space, Inter Milan will meet AC Milan in the quarter-finals of the Champions League after eliminating Porto.

Of course, it cannot be assumed that the same thing will happen in this time and space, but it is always possible, isn't it?

The Champions League also likes to arrange some encounters between enemies. Since Inter Milan and AC Milan met in the semi-finals of the 2002-03 season and played like a dog, it is normal to meet again this season.

Just like Barcelona and Chelsea, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Juventus... If you don't make such a lottery, how can the Champions League be a gimmick.

Although in another time and space, Inter Milan was finally eliminated by AC Milan in the Champions League, and AC Milan finally fulfilled Liverpool's miracle night in Istanbul, but Ricardo believes that with his arrival, all this will be achieved. twist.

He is desperate to take revenge on AC Milan in the Champions League. Take revenge for what happened two seasons ago.

In the two encounters in the league, Inter Milan was 1:1 at home and 0:0 away. If such a score is still played in the Champions League, Inter Milan will be eliminated due to the disadvantage of away goals.

So if they meet in the Champions League next time, Inter Milan will have to strengthen their strength if they want to win.

It is unrealistic to expect the entire team to improve in a short period of time, and Mancini has done everything he should do.

But if I improve a little bit, and cooperate with Ronaldo and Adriano a little bit better, this can always be achieved.

At the press conference after the game, Mancini expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, and Ancelotti was also satisfied with the performance of his disciples. It seemed that both sides were happy.

But then in the dressing room, Mancini criticized the players.

In fact, the players of Inter Milan also felt wronged. They did not play badly in this game, but they were lucky. It makes people cry in vain.

In addition, the team did not make any obvious mistakes, and AC Milan did not get enough chances.

Coincidentally, in the locker room of the visiting team, AC Milan's coach Carlo Ancelotti also sharply criticized his disciples, believing that they did not put in 100% effort in such a critical Milan derby, and their attention was not concentrated at the last moment, which led to a fall short , the 3 points in hand became 1 point.

If AC Milan wins this game, they can still think about defending the league champions, but this draw almost completely shattered their dreams.

The next day's media commented on the game as "another hot Milan derby."

Both sides failed to achieve their goals, and both sides suffered losses, which made Juventus pee out laughing.

After this battle, Inter Milan accumulated 54 points, 2 points behind Juventus, and gave up the top spot, allowing Juventus to lead again.

He also focused on evaluating Ricardo's performance: "... After experiencing the madness at the beginning of the season, his performance was very struggling, but he quickly adjusted. We can notice that in the last few games, he They are all trying to create opportunities for their teammates and less to try to solve the battle themselves. In 19 appearances in the league this season, he only scored 7 goals, most of which were obtained at the beginning of the season; but he contributed 16 assists, which is close to Inter's best record in history."

"Ricciardo's reactivation has improved Inter Milan's creativity in the midfield and allowed Ronaldo and Adriano to get more opportunities. As an 18-year-old player, we can't ask him to do better .Although he failed to win the Golden Boy Award last year, as long as he continues his current performance,

This year's Golden Boy Award must be in his pocket. "

Ze triumphantly said: "The collision of the league's first and third in the league allowed Juventus to reach the top. Juventus has rich experience in how to lead, and they will not give up the first position easily. If Milan wants to challenge Juventus again, they have to show their true skills."

The game is over, but the league will continue. Not only the league, Inter Milan, Juventus, and AC Milan all need to fight on the third line.

Only the turbulent Roma has been eliminated in the Champions League group stage. They can focus on the league, but they have lost hope of competing for the championship.

On March 6, after conceding a goal first, Inter Milan reversed and won Lecce 2:1. Ricardo made his debut, although he did not contribute goals or assists, he performed well.

But Juventus and AC Milan also defeated their respective opponents.

Originally they expected Rome to cause a little trouble for Juventus, but the referee dominated the game. He blew off two good goals for Rome. In the end, Juventus defeated Rome 2:1 away and continued to lead the standings.

On March 12, Inter Milan challenged the Blue Eagles away, and Ricardo sat on the bench. Lazio's old player Favalli's mistake gave Lazio a 1-0 lead in the first half.

Ricardo played in the second half. He first dribbled at the front of the penalty area at high speed to attract three defensive players from Lazio and then handed the ball to Ronaldo. Ronaldo passed it to Adriano to help the latter score; before the end of the game, Ricardo used Dribbling created a free kick opportunity in front of the penalty area. Another old player of Lazio, Mihajlovic, took a free kick and killed the master. Inter Milan once again staged a reversal, and Juventus did not open the score again.

On the night of March 15th, Ronaldo scored twice, Ricardo scored a hat-trick of assists, and Inter Milan defeated the visiting defending champion Porto 4:1 at home, ending the latter's dream of defending the title.

After the game, brothers Riccardo and Ronaldo were interviewed by reporters on the sidelines. Ricardo put it very simply: "The opponent is very hardworking, but we are a better team and we deserve to win. Now that we have come here, no matter who the next opponent is, we will continue to go on unswervingly until the final. "

Ronaldo put it more simply: "I have longed for the Champions League for a long time."

The excellent state of Inter Milan made the mainstream European media exclaim: the snake is coming!

Inter Milan with Ronaldo has always been the favorite to win the Champions League, but Inter Milan has been in poor form in the Champions League over the years. The closest they were to the championship, the 2002-2003 season, was eliminated by AC Milan in the semi-finals due to fewer away goals. It's not because of lack of strength, it can only be said to be due to luck, and Cooper's tactics also make Inter Milan unsuitable for the knockout rounds.
