Chapter 466: The Second Half of the League
Buying Botafogo and developing young Chinese players is a long-term project that is estimated to take 8-10 years to see results.
Being able to help the Chinese team make a breakthrough in the 2016 Olympic Games and the 2018 World Cup is already the best result.
I can't be in a hurry.
After his trip to Botafogo, Ricardo returned to the beach, enjoying his leisure while not forgetting to train every day, and wasting some time and making some good memories with a few beautiful women.
When he returned to Spain, he was already in good spirits and refreshed.
Ronaldo has recovered from his injury and did not return to Brazil for this holiday, but instead visited several famous attractions in Europe and attended some business events.
During the call, he told Ricardo that he felt that he was too old to play for a few years, and that he wanted to make more money while his popularity had not passed.
Ricardo did not agree with this and persuaded him: "Daddardo, you train hard, keep in shape, you can play for 3 or 5 years, don't worry about making money, football is good, money will naturally come." ”
Ronaldo smiled wryly: "I really love football, but I know my situation very well. In the past six months, I have clearly felt my regression. Dude, I'm not the same as I used to be! There's never going back to the way it was! My knees can't stand it anymore. You know what, now my knee is often inflamed. I know very well that I won't be able to play for a few years. Brother, you must protect your body and not get seriously injured. Once you've been hurt, you can't be the same again. ”
Ricardo was speechless. Ronaldo is right in every word, but in his mind, Ronaldo should be a hero who stands up to the sky and the earth, and he should be an invincible king. Although there are more romantic debts and small sections, in the field of football, it should be flawless.
However, in both time and space, Ronaldo began to degenerate after the injury, losing the pursuit of pure football, and began to pursue money, pleasure, and merry......
Maybe this is Ronaldo's nature, this kind of Ronaldo is the real Ronaldo.
Hanging up the phone, Ricardo was a little depressed for a while, and he felt disillusioned with his idol.
But after an hour of sweating on the gym equipment, he pulled himself together again.
After all, he is not a real young man, he has lived more than 30 years of life, has enough experience, has enough sense and maturity.
There should be no perfect thing in this world, and I have to put a perfect halo on Ronaldo, which is not Ronaldo's fault, but my own fault.
Since Ronaldo is a little tired of football, then I will feed him more cakes, so that he can regain his passion for football with continuous goals!
After New Year's Day, the team regrouped and began to prepare for the second half of the game.
Ronaldo has returned from injury, but he has been unable to find his form in training.
On 2 January, Ronaldo was the only regular player in the squad to host lower-division side Aligendi, but he failed to score, but Real Madrid won as they wished to reach the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey.
In the 18th round of the league, Manuel Pellegrini continued to start Ronaldo.
The Bernabeu on the night of January 6 was not destined to belong to Ronaldo. Although Ricardo frequently sent in clever passes, Ronaldo just couldn't get the ball into the net.
In the end, Ricardo could only pass the ball to Kaka and the others. Thanks to goals from Kaka and Robben, they repelled the visiting Zaragoza 2:0.
After the game, Ricardo comforted Ronaldo: "It's okay, everyone has ups and downs. ”
Ronaldo was a little frustrated, but he wasn't too hit, and it was normal not to score in two games in a row.
On January 10, Real Madrid played Mallorca away in the Spanish Copa del Rey. Manuel Pellegrini's thinking this season is clear, give up the Copa del Rey, stabilize the league and hold on to the Champions League.
So in this game, Real Madrid played all the substitutes and young players, and finally lost to the opponent 1:2.
On January 13, in the 18th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Levante away. In the first half, the two sides played 0:0. Until the 65th minute, Ronaldo had not scored. His face looked very helpless and a little confused, which made people feel distressed.
He didn't have a chance, Ricardo gave him several good balls, and even once Ricardo broke through the opponent's entire back line and passed the ball to him at the back post, all he had to do was push the ball into the empty net, but he missed that opportunity and let the plane go.
Everyone can see that his body is not in 100% condition, and there is a problem with his mentality.
At this point, Pellegrini had no choice but to replace him.
Ronaldo, who was substituted, shook off Pellegrini's hand and walked straight into the dressing room, not staying to watch the rest of the game.
Putting aside his worries about Ronaldo, Ricardo ran aggressively and found a chance in the 81st minute, latching on to Marcelo's pass and breaking the deadlock with a left-footed volley.
Three minutes later, he went straight at the edge of the penalty area, and Kaka inserted a stabbing shot to make it 2-0.
Real Madrid won hard.
Ricardo's tally of assists has finally reached 10.
Most of this was fed to Ronaldo.
That is, Ronaldo is not in form in these two games, otherwise his assists would have been higher.
Speaking at his post-match press conference, Manuel Pellegrini said: "Ronaldo is not happy to be substituted early, I can understand it, I will not criticize him. The whole team will help him through this. I don't think it's a big deal to not score in three games, but he's the number one guy in the world and he's very strict with himself. I hope he can adjust his mentality as soon as possible and get on the right track. ”
Ronaldo also said in an interview: "I was very inappropriate at the time, there is no excuse for that. Manuel Pellegrini is a good guy and I had a great time working with him and there was no contradiction between us. ”
On January 16, in the second leg of the quarterfinals of the Spanish Cup, Real Madrid hosted Mallorca.
Manuel Pellegrini didn't take the game seriously, but considering that the team is now much ahead in the league and can spend some energy on the Copa del Rey, he has fielded a mix of main substitutes.
Ricardo, Kaka and others are resting in turn, and Ronaldo is on the field, and he needs to play more games to find his form.
However, Mallorca has been reinforcing the defense for 90 minutes, Real Madrid has no way, but was stolen by the opponent's counterattack, and finally lost 0:1, and this season's Copa del Rey is completely lost.
Ronaldo continues his goalscoring drought and this is his fourth game without a goal.
So in the away game against Atletico Madrid on January 20, Pellegrini naturally put him on the bench for two reasons: one is that he needs to rest, and the other is that he needs to take a break and find his form in training.
Ronaldo couldn't say a word. A striker, when he can't score, has no value.
