Chapter 451: What is a Top Chef
'An embarrassing victory, Real Madrid didn't show the dominance we imagined.
"Ricardo and Ronaldo saved the team, but it's not something to be proud of. Apart from them, no one at Real Madrid can play? ”
'If Manuel Pellegrini's claim to have Real Madrid play attacking football, to win with beautiful possession, is to mean aimlessly falling in the midfield, then he's done a good job.
'Manuel Pellegrini needs to move forward faster with the rebuilding of the team, and he's not coaching a cat or a dog team, but Real Madrid, one of the greatest clubs in the world. He should understand the pressure of the job. People expect to see a speeding Bugatti Veyron instead of a Volkswagen Jetta. ”
……
Although Real Madrid won the game, criticism was overwhelming.
Even the number one player, Ronaldo, has received a lot of criticism.
'He should have done better, he was the best in the world and that opportunity was in front of him and he shouldn't have missed it.'
"Ronaldo, who is back on the pitch, is a lot lazier than before. He's no longer a goal machine that can never be satisfied, but a Garfield who eats lunch and wants to doze off. ”
"Compared to him in the past, Ronaldo's conversion rate is undoubtedly much lower now. He's still a feared striker, but not one of the best anymore. ”
Even Kaka has attracted a lot of criticism, and only Ricardo is still praised.
"It was a fantastic free-kick with a dizzying arc and unrivalled precision. Ricardo has undoubtedly grown into a free-kick master who is not inferior to Beckham. ”
'He looked tired most of the time and after a long season he didn't get much rest and went back to the Copa America. But if you give him the slightest chance, he can shine. It's not the best Ricardo, but with one pass and one shot, he's clearly done his job. ”
"What else can you say about a player like that? Even if he's not at his best, he's still the best in the world. His biggest flaw in this game was that he was too unselfish, and on several occasions he had chances to shoot himself, but handed the ball to Ronaldo, who wasted his good passes again and again. ”
RICCARDO CLOSED THE NEWS PAGE, PUT DOWN HIS IPHONE, AND BEGAN TO ENJOY A FRAGRANT COFFEE.
SINCE THE IPHONE WENT ON SALE IN JUNE, HIS APPLE STOCK HAS RISEN NEARLY 10 TIMES, AND HE NOW HAS HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN ASSETS IN HIS STOCK ACCOUNT.
Of course, he will continue to increase his investment in Facebook and Twitter to maintain his stake, so he does not have that much money at his disposal.
But the windfall was enough for him to ease the funding gap left by buying Botafogo, holding a draft in China and opening a football school.
You can also have spare money to buy a mansion worth more than 10 million euros in Madrid.
After all, Ronaldo has recovered from his injury and returned home.
Although Ronaldo doesn't mind having one more person in the family, Ricardo doesn't want to be cheeky and rub his brother's house all the time.
And Ronaldo likes to have a party at home and bring all kinds of women back for the night, and Ricardo doesn't like this atmosphere either.
Just leave the search for a luxury property to the agent.
However, Farah has been a bit busy lately, and he is in talks with Real Madrid about Ricardo's salary increase.
He had a fantastic season, got Mr. Double, and a salary increase and contract extension was also the right thing to do.
Licardo himself doesn't care about these salaries, which are now only a small part of his source of income, and he now receives several times his salary every year for sponsorships and advertising endorsements. But his salary is also linked to Farah's commission, and Farah's attitude towards money is that the more the merrier, and he will never give up the opportunity to make money.
However, after all, his contract with Real Madrid has only been a year, and Real Madrid is not in a hurry to renew his contract, so Farah is in a tug-of-war with Mijatovic, and there are news in the transfer market such as "Manchester United is interested in Ricardo", "Barcelona is trying to buy Ricardo to replace Ronaldinho", "Bayern Munich is trying to operate Ricardo's transfer" and other news, putting pressure on Mijatovic.
Ricardo didn't care about that, he just wanted to play well.
But when Manuel Pellegrini announced his squad for the home game against Sevilla, Ricardo found himself out of the starting line-up.
Ronaldo and Kaka also did not.
Ricardo stopped Ronaldo and did not question Pellegrini on the spot.
However, after the training, Licardo came to Pellegrini's office with Ronaldo and Kaka.
Baptista didn't follow, it's a matter for the bigwigs, and as a rotation player for the team, it's better not to get involved.
"Sir," Ricardo was worried that Ronaldo would stiffen the atmosphere as soon as he spoke, and spoke first, "I, Ronnie and Kaka are not in the starting line-up for tomorrow's game, we have some concerns about this, and we want to talk to you about it. ”
Pellegrini raised his head, his pale blue eyes exuded an intimidating aura, his fingers tapped on the desk, and his voice was cold: "Oh, as the head coach of the team, am I going to be questioned by the players about my starting lineup?" ”
"You know I didn't mean that," Ricardo's anger rose slowly, but he still kept his senses and smiled reluctantly, "You're the boss, of course we'll all obey the arrangement, we just want to know why we didn't make the squad." ”
"Why?" Pellegrini raised his voice, "I'll tell you why!" Ronnie, before I came, everybody told me that you are one of the best players in the world. The 05-06 season also made me realize this. But now, I almost don't recognize you. To put it simply, you're running too little and don't meet my requirements for a striker, so I can't let you start. Licardo, you work hard and you are serious in training, I admire you. But your defense isn't up to my par, and if you don't try to change, you won't be in my starting lineup, it's as simple as that. Kaka, the reason why you lost this election this time is that you are too tired, and I hope you can take a good rest. Still have questions, gentlemen? ”
Ronaldo tried to interrupt several times, but was stopped by Ricardo. But his face was visibly gloomy.
Ricardo also knew that his face at this time must not be good-looking. He took two deep breaths and calmed down before speaking again: "Sir, I understand that you have your own coaching ideas, but please understand that before you came, we also won the league championship and we know how to win the game. I don't think the best chef can make delicious dishes with ingredients that meet his standards, but can make satisfying dishes with ingredients that may not meet his standards, but have their own characteristics. ”
