Date: June 21, 2002. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Location: Shizuoka Ecopa Stadium, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan.

Event: Korea-Japan World Cup quarterfinals.

Opponents: Brazil vs England.

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Owen, who has been in excellent form this season, opened the scoring for England; In the 45th minute, Ronaldo helped Brazil tie the score at 1:1.

In the 50th minute of the second half, Brazil won a free kick from the edge of the penalty area.

Judging by the distance and position, almost everyone agreed that this goal was not suitable for a direct goal.

But there are some geniuses that you can never fathom, like the black bucktooth kid who is wearing Brazil's No.11 jersey right now.

The Brazilian no.11 surprisingly opted for a right-footed lob after observing the position of Three Lions goalkeeper Seaman.

The ball slid through a perfect arc and into the back of the net in front of goal, and although Seaman did his best to make a save and even touched the ball slightly, he couldn't stop it from going into the net.

With this goal, Brazil overtook their opponents 2:1.

"Jose, how's it going? We only need £20 million to bring him in and he's going to make our attacks incredible! Arthur yelled at Mourinho beside him in a cacophony.

Seeing Ronaldinho's free-kick, even though Arthur had seen it many times before, was still unbelievable.

Even though Arthur is a standard Englishman in this life, he is still intoxicated by Ronaldinho's goal.

However, just when Arthur admired Ronaldinho's genius, he didn't see Mourinho's brow furrowed.

……

The Korea-Japan World Cup in this life is almost the same as Arthur's previous life, but there are also a few subtle adjustments - this is also the influence of Arthur's little butterfly.

England had Frank Lampard in place, who replaced West Ham United's Hinclair in the Three Lions' starting line-up.

However, Frank Lampard, who played as the team's left wing-back, did not perform well for the club and could only be considered qualified, but compared to Blackburn's excellent performance, it could only be regarded as unsatisfactory.

As for the rest of the Blackburn players, the World Cup journey is almost the same as the previous one.

Among them, the biggest change is the Chinese national team, which has three Blackburn players.

In the group stage that has ended, the Chinese team did not avoid the final outcome of three games and no points, but the process is completely different.

Li Weifeng, Li Tie and Li Tie are three Chinese internationals, one is a regular member of Blackburn's 18-man squad in the league, the other is a regular rotation player for Blackburn, and the last one is Blackburn's main substitute.

The Chinese national team led by these three lost 0:1 to Costa Rica in the first game and 0:2 to Turkey in the second game in the group stage of the South Korea-Japan World Cup.

In the final match between China and Brazil, although they lost the most, the goal was broken by the Samba Army 5 times, but the Chinese team also scored the first World Cup goal.

And this goal was scored by Li Tie in the middle of the field, and after Sun Jihai drove straight into the cross, Yang Chen jumped to the top of the penalty area.

There was no point in three games, but the two small losses of 0:1 and 0:2, and the goal against the Brazilian team still made Chinese fans feel satisfied.

……

"Jose, we had a huge success last season, but next season we have to deal with the Champions League, and our league opponents are also improving, this summer transfer, as long as it is the player you plan, I will not sell any of them, and I have prepared 50 million pounds of transfer funds." These are the words that Arthur said to Mourinho after the end of the season.

"Jose, how's it going? We only need £20 million to bring him in and he's going to make our attacks incredible! Arthur suggested to Mourinho again.

I have to say that Ronaldinho does have unparalleled talent, and even Mourinho, who has been playing utilitarian football, couldn't help but secretly exclaim when he saw Xiao Luo's performance: High, really high!

But admiration does not mean an urgent need.

'Arthur, I also admire Ronaldinho a lot and I want to have a player like that in the squad. Jose Mourinho's opening statement made Arthur realise that something was wrong.

'But we don't really need a player like Ronaldinho in desperate need. Mourinho sighed.

Mourinho then went on to explain: "The best position for Ronaldinho is undoubtedly in midfield, whether it is on the left, on the right or in the middle, he can make a huge difference. Unfortunately, on the left we already have Damien, in the middle Frank, and on the right I think the configuration between Benayoun and Gyuli is enough. Shadow Striker? I don't think Ibrahimovic will be able to work well with him. ”

After listening to Mourinho's explanation, Arthur is also a cluster every day.

Although in terms of strength alone, whether it is Duff, Lampard, or Gyuli and Benayoun, there is a more or less gap compared to Ronaldinho, but from the overall point of view, it cannot be counted as such.

Duff is the only academy player in Blackburn's current main squad, and he is also the first candidate for the next captain in Arthur's mind, so even if Ronaldinho already has the strength of the ball king, Arthur will not let him take Duff's position.

Frank Lampard is currently the only England international in Blackburn's squad, and his local appeal and England account advantage are amazing, so he is also an unshakable candidate in the main team.

Benayoun and Giuli on the right are both powerful stars, although they are not well-known, and Mourinho definitely trusts this pair of double insurance on the right flank more than Ronaldo, who has never had a Premier League manager in his previous life.

As for pushing Ronaldo up front?

Ibrahimovic has the strength and consciousness, but he doesn't have the will to cooperate.

Drogba has the will, but not the delicate skill and awareness needed to do so.

"Do you just watch Ronaldinho, who has the strength of the quasi-ball king, slip out of his nose like this?" Arthur was depressed.

Mourinho continued: "And Ronaldinho's style of play is not in tune with us last season, and his arrival means that all the tactical systems of the team have to be overhauled and rebuilt, which would be no problem if it had been done in other seasons. However, this summer, because of the World Cup, we shortened the pre-match training camp by almost half, and I think it will be difficult for him to integrate into the team in a short period of time. ”

Arthur was dumbfounded!

He suddenly realized why in the previous life, after Ronaldinho shined in the World Cup, many giant teams have cast their eyes on him, but they only started a year later, and Mourinho's addition just now is also one of the reasons.

It was only then that Arthur began to regret that he had to start the transfer operation after the World Cup. If the normal procedure is followed, even if Blackburn can successfully complete the transfer of Ronaldinho, it will be almost the opening day of the Premier League.

How much strength can Ronaldinho, who came to the Premier League from Ligue 1 and joined the team in a hurry after the start of the season, play?

However, things have developed to this point, and Arthur can only ask Monchi on the other side: "Can we complete the transfer operation of Ronaldinho in a short period of time?" ”

"It's hard."

Monchi, the club's sporting director, did not hesitate to give his answer.

"Although Paris Saint-Germain's economic situation has been very bad in the past two years, they are not those poor and crazy little clubs, they know that they can make a lot of money on Ronaldinho, and Ronaldinho's performance in this World Cup is so good, which gives Paris a lot of confidence, so they will definitely keep pulling and pulling with us on the issue of transfer fees." Monchi also gave his own explanation.

"What if we offered a price they couldn't refuse?" Arthur suggested.

"Don't!"

"It's better not to!"

Monchi and Mourinho dissuaded at the same time.

"Arthur, even if we can complete Ronaldinho's transfer at a super high premium this time, it is very detrimental to the long-term development in the future, all clubs will think that we are stupid and have a lot of money, and they will knock us on the transfer in the future, which is not conducive to our future transfer operations." Monchi objected.

Arthur looked at Monchi, who looked like a loyal minister, and then at Mourinho, who also disagreed, and felt embarrassed.

Buying Ronaldinho by force, maybe spending a huge amount of money but not getting the good results you wanted. But giving up Ronaldinho, on the one hand, he fell into the prestige of his dignified club president, and he couldn't save face, and on the other hand, Arthur also felt extremely regretful.

After all, that's Ronaldinho!

Unlike the future Messi and Ronaldo, although both of them are top stars, both belong to quasi-football kings, or even football king-level players, the fans between the two of them are almost distinct and slander each other.

However, Ronaldinho has conquered the vast majority of real fans, Henry's fans, Ronaldo's fans, Zidane's fans, etc., will love this elf on the green field.

Ronaldinho may not have been a football champion in his life, but no one can beat him in terms of spectacle and pleasure.

However, I have read all the comments, and some readers and friends have also pointed out my mistakes, such as Ryan Giggs wrote Scotsman, the league points were miscalculated, and Liverpool manager Houllier wrote Hodgson. If there is no change, it will be encouraged, and I hope that readers and friends will continue to support! ）
