Chapter 542: Come on, Ronnie (ask for a monthly pass subscription)
On 14 January 2010, Aston Villa FC held a live press conference at Villa Park.
It was also Ronaldo's debut at Aston Villa.
There are still more than two hours before Ronaldo's appearance, and a large number of fans have gathered at the entrance of the IE La Park Stadium.
In order to be able to enter the Villa Park stadium early, some fans even queued up two or three hours in advance.
As the debut time approached, there were more and more fans at the scene.
Some elderly people came on crutches, and some of them had poor physical strength, because the waiting time was too poor, they became unwell and were sent to the hospital by ambulance.
Because there were too many fans, Aston Villa had to announce that Ronaldo's appearance ceremony had been postponed for half an hour.
The press conference was held in the press hall at Villa Park Stadium.
Ronaldo in the team head coach Fang Jue and club CEO Bob A. Accompanied by Clark and the club's general manager, Byron, he raised the Aston Villa shirt with the number 99 printed on it with both hands.
This is his shirt number at Aston Villa.
Ronaldo's favourite is the number 9, the legend and prestige of the R9.
However, now, Aston Villa's number 9 is on Ronaldo's former team-mate Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Ronaldo naturally can't snatch his old buddy's number.
In the end, Ronaldo chose the number 99, which he also chose when he was at AC Milan.
At the press conference, Ronaldo also explained why he chose Aston Villa: "For me, the challenge is always the most important thing, and I turned down money for the sake of the competitive challenge.
If I go to Saudi Arabia or the United States, I can make more money.
I could have stayed in Corinthians as well, but Villa gave me a new challenge, I accepted it, and I wanted to tell the worldβ"
Ronaldo, who was a little emotional, paused and said, "My career is not over yet. β
"Of course, there is another important reason, Coach Fang Jue sent me an invitation, and I said to myself that this is an invitation that I can't refuse."
'Hopefully I can do well for the club and the people who gave me a warm welcome.'
A reporter asked Ronaldo whether he could appear in the World Cup in South Africa.
'I haven't had time to discuss my future with Dunga in the national team and I hope I can go to South Africa, but my first goal is to contribute to Aston Villa.'
The press conference was broadcast live on the big screen, and Ronaldo's words also won the cheers of the Aston Villa fans at the scene.
β¦β¦
After the press conference.
Ronaldo, wearing the number 99 Aston Villa shirt, ran from the players' tunnel into the Villa Park stadium.
In an instant, the entire stadium erupted in loud cheers and applause.
In the stands at the Villa Park stadium, a banner was hung: Hello, Ronaldo, you are ours!
Aston Villa held a press conference to officially announce Ronaldo's arrival.
and the subsequent grand debut ceremony held by the club for him.
This has caused a sensation in the whole football world.
Aston Villa's official website then announced that 28,932 fans had arrived at Villa Park to welcome Ronaldo.
For a 33-year-old veteran, such a grand welcome scene is absolutely remarkable.
You know, this is not a holiday, it is not a weekend, and it is a short notice, which is enough to show Ronaldo's appeal.
"Even if he is thirty-three years old, then he is blessed and does not run as fast as before."
"But, his name is Ronaldo!"
This is the case with Times reporter Duncan. Opinion piece published by Castour in his column.
β¦β¦
The effect of Ronaldo's move to Aston Villa is very clear.
Aston Villa lined up in front of their franchise at Villa Park, all of whom had ordered Ronaldo's number 99 shirt.
Aston Villa are officially pricing the number 99 shirt with Ronaldo's name on it at Β£99.
In just 12 hours, 8,231 items were sold in stores and on Nike's official website.
Sales in Asia, especially in East Asia, including China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan Province of China, are very hot.
According to statistics, sales in Asia account for 45% of sales.
Not only that, Aston Villa also officially cooperated with Nike to launch a global lottery to buy the jerseys of Ronaldo, Beckham and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Winners will receive a special jersey signed by three stars.
This event made many fans excited at the same time, but also shocked and stunned many media and fans:
Ronaldo, wearing the number 99 shirt of Aston Villa.
Ruud van Nistelrooy, wearing the number 9 shirt of Aston Villa.
David. Beckham wore the No. 7 shirt of Aston Villa (after Ashley Young's transfer left, the No. 7 shirt was vacated, and Beckham got his favorite No. 7, which made Beckham's No. 27 shirt sold by the club out of print and cherished by many fans.) οΌ
The three superstars of the galaxy's record that year went around and around and reunited at Aston Villa.
The influence and market value of these three stars is undoubtedly huge.
Aston Villa general manager Byron informed the club that after the news of Ronaldo's arrival was confirmed, the Premier League rights have adjusted and increased the number of broadcasts for Aston Villa again.
The more games that are broadcast, the more dividends are paid to the broadcast.
Fang Jue is in a good mood, these are all ineffective cuties.
'It's not just Ronaldo or David Beckham and Ruud van Nistelrooy. Miss Papa said, "I have a survey data here. β
This is a survey commissioned by Aston Villa, and the fans' awareness and liking of the current Aston Villa team has increased a lot.
In addition to David Beckham and Ruud van Nistelrooy, other players at Aston Villa are also popular, with the survey revealing that German star Deisler, Welsh rising star Gareth. Gareth Bale and England homegrown star Abang Lajo are the most popular.
It is worth noting that behind these four players are Milner and Clement, who also received high votes.
It can be said that the addition of such famous stars as Ronaldo and Beckham has indeed helped Aston Villa expand its influence and increase its market value.
"However, we must also note that the foundation of the team is very good, and the team built by Coach Fang Jue is the foundation that the fans are most satisfied with." Papa said.
The crowd applauded.
Although it is very bad for this man and woman to sprinkle dog food, the problem is, Papa is telling the truth.
β¦β¦
On January 17, in the 22nd round of the English Premier League, Aston Villa hosted West Ham United.
In this game, Ronaldo did not enter the squad for the game, which disappointed many fans who were looking forward to seeing Ronaldo's Aston Villa debut in this game.
Also disappointed were Beckham's fans, Beckham returned from injury and was also on the bench for this game, but Sidwell was sent off in the second half, which disrupted Fang Jue's substitution arrangement, and Beckham did not get a chance to play in the end.
In the end, the two sides were tied 0-0.
The score was 0-0, but the game was not peaceful.
For Aston Villa, Sidwell was sent off and three players received yellow cards.
West Ham have five yellow cards.
After the game, Fang Jue had a verbal altercation with West Ham United manager Gianfranco Zola.
Before the start of the season, the technicalist Gianfranco Zola had to be more realistic in the face of the pressure of results, as this game was an example, West Ham played very aggressively against the second place in the Premier League, and they managed to walk away a point from Villa Park.
At the press conference, the main concern of reporters was when the debuts of Beckham and Ronaldo will come.
"I can tell you responsibly." Fang Jue said, "In the game against Blackburn, David and Ronnie have a good chance of playing. β
Two days later, Aston Villa are set for a crucial match, the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final against Blackburn.
The next day, an image was posted on Aston Villa's official website:
On Aston Villa's training ground, Ronaldo, David Beckham and Ruud van Nistelrooy were talking and laughing and seemed to be in a good mood.
β¦β¦
"Congratulations to the host, the window that triggered the [Last Wave of Classic Superstar] opened!"
Fang Jue couldn't wait to hug the system and kiss it fiercely, he just asked the system if there was any way to make Ronaldo recover his health and not get injured, and the system gave this hint.
But the last wave of god's classic superstar......
Then, Fang Jue saw that in order to restore Ronaldo's health, he needed to pay 36 million krypton.
Fang Jue scolded, his current account is only worth 36.53 million krypton, and the system has calculated his family's bottom to do it.
Fang Jue was a little hesitant, he only needed 20 million krypton gold to buy a [Green Scout Skill Card] now.
Buying the first [Non-mainstream League Player Card] also only requires 10 million krypton.
Isn't it fragrant to keep this krypton worth to buy these two skill cards?
For a thirty-three-year-old Ronaldo!
Just for an emotion.
Is it worth paying such a big price?
Worth!
Fang Jue said to himself.
Without hesitation, he chose to pay for confirmation.
developed.
It's developed!
It's developed!
Fang Jue felt that he was bumping into a deer, this was the feeling of love.
He just glanced at it and saw a prompt from the system, and the system kindly reminded him that he chose to pay 36 million krypton gold to 'save' Ronaldo, and he couldn't get a completely healthy Ronaldo.
According to the system, the system can only control Ronaldo to no longer get fat, however, it is impossible to lose weight through the system, unless the players themselves work hard to lose weight.
In addition, the system is unlikely to return Ronaldo to his peak in the nineties of the last century, and can only make Ronaldo's physical function 8 years younger.
As for why it is eight years younger, the system does not say.
Fang Jue didn't bother to ask.
He was already very satisfied.
Ronaldo eight years ago, what year was eight years ago?
It's 2002!
It's just that a fortune 2002 version of Ronaldo...... It seems a bit of a contradiction.
Well, it doesn't matter.
This was beyond Fang Jue's expectations.
Fang Jue was ecstatic, and at the same time, he was also summarizing in his heart.
His appeal to the system is for Ronaldo to be healthy and uninjured.
This appeal is very general, so the system gives an optimal result.
If all he said was to keep Ronaldo out of injury and cure his obesity, the system would certainly not have given him such a satisfactory answer.
Seemingly, there are loopholes to drill?
Fang Jue thought secretly.
He felt that his struggle against the system was long and arduous, and that it was necessary to fight wits and courage.
β¦β¦
"Oh, God, is this a porcupine?"
Ronaldo looked at the guy in the photo with countless silver needles all over his body, and almost didn't recognize it as himself.
"This is the most mysterious medical technique from the ancient countries of the East." Fang Jue said.
Fang Jue told Ronaldo that he had hired a highly skilled doctor who could treat Ronaldo's obesity, and at the same time, this treatment could also improve his physical fitness, especially the compression and protection of his knees, to avoid re-injury.
Most importantly, it stimulates the body's potential and regains the feeling of youth.
Ronaldo didn't know why he agreed in a vague way.
He was then taken to a private clinic.
Ronaldo also took a special look, he has a very complete medical qualification, the clinic facilities are very complete, and the hardware is luxurious, he is relieved.
Then he was anesthetized.
After waking up, Fang Jue told him that the treatment had ended.
And Ronaldo was shown a few photos taken during the treatment.
Of course, these photos are made systematically, and there is no such thing as a treatment process at all.
"How are you feeling now?" Fang Jue asked.
"Great! It feels pretty good! "Ronaldo picked up a football with one foot, kicked it away and chased it.
He touched the ball with his right foot, almost subconsciously making a sharp change of direction.
The action was perfect.
However, Ronaldo was stunned.
He just made this action subconsciously, which is the muscle memory of the 2002 version of Ronaldo, which is subconscious.
After making the move, he himself was frightened, and his first reaction was, it's over, his ankle!
However, the great pain of worry did not come.
It's okay!
It's okay to yourself!
Ronaldo crouched down, got up again, and touched his knees with both hands.
It feels ......
It's been too long, not for a long time.
Ronaldo's expression was serious and serious.
He was very serious and cautious in his attempts.
This is my knees, this is my body, so healthy, I can run, I can jump, I can stop and change direction, I can pedal a bicycle.
Even the pendulum movement, Ronaldo was very nervous and worried to try.
He did it.
Ahh
Ronaldo clenched his fists and shouted loudly, this is venting.
Then, Fang Jue saw this thirty-three-year-old man squatting there, covering his face with his hands, and crying.
Fang Jue's eyes were suddenly a little moist.
Come on, Ronnie, you are also my youth, Fang Jue said silently in his heart.
β¦β¦
"Ronaldo's arrival is just a show!"
The next day, Fang Jue saw this report.
This is a report from The Sun.
The Sun questioned that Aston Villa's invitation to Ronaldo was just an unreal show, and everyone knew that Ronaldo was no longer good.
'Aston Villa just need Ronaldo's influence and market value at the end and they don't really expect to rely on Ronaldo to score goals.'
'The player himself knows that he just enjoys the feeling of being back at the heart of European football and being noticed.'
"And, of course, there's the money factor."
"But look at his current situation and look at how bloated and botched he has been in training over the past two days."
"Thirty-three-year-old Ronaldo, fat and old, can't be fast." - Alain, a columnist for The Sun. Darwin said in a spicy tone, "The six-year-old boy next door to my house is faster than him." β
