Inter's first match of 2005 was played on 6 January, but the team ended their break on 2 January and began to assemble.

Ricardo and Ronaldo returned to Europe after Christmas.

After all, you can't get along with money, right, those endorsement advertisements and photos always have to find time to get them.

Ricardo didn't have much to do. Farah has spoken to him at a time when his commercial value is on a sharp rise, so he should receive fewer endorsements and the time limit must be relatively short, because it is likely that after a season or two, his commercial value will be doubled.

Ricardo also agreed with this strategy. Although he also wants to make more money to invest in R&L companies and buy more stocks, this is not in a hurry.

In addition, on a few TV shows, maintaining a certain exposure rate is also the proper meaning of the question.

Ronaldo has more to do, he also has to attend the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year ceremony.

Despite resting for almost two months due to injury during the season, Ronaldo won the 2004 Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year award, which earned him five Balls d'Or and seven "Mr." titles.

Ricardo is now out of touch with the Golden Globe and "Mister", but he can think of the European Golden Boy Awards, which have been held since 2003.

However, his disadvantage is that he has only landed in Europe for half a season, and he is not naturally competitive.

In the end, the 2004 Golden Boy Award was awarded to Rooney, and Ricardo only finished third.

Before January 2, Ricardo had been so busy that he couldn't even guarantee time to rest, let alone practice.

But as soon as the team was assembled, he immediately threw himself into the daily routine of hard training. Playing football is what he does, and he can't put the cart before the horse.

After a few days of training, Ricardo quickly regained his form, starting the game away to Livorno on 6 January, and setting up a goal for Ronaldo to help his side win 3-0.

Three days later, Inter Milan hosted Sampdoria in a match where the Nerazzurri staged a comeback.

Sampdoria led by one goal in the first half and scored another in the second half, and when the team was about to suffer its first defeat of the new season, Ronaldo led the team to a desperate counterattack.

He opened up a solo goal and then set up Adriano to equalise after a breakaway.

In the first five minutes of the final game, he scored two goals in a row and scored a hat-trick to help the team win 4-2.

Despite winning the game and the media praising Inter's iron spirit, they continued to be harshly criticized for Mancini's defensive system.

Ricardo didn't seem excited enough in this game, and his performance was mediocre, which can only be said to be a passing grade.

On January 13, in the second leg of the second round of the Coppa Italia, Inter Milan defeated Bologna 4-1 away, and Ricardo was lost again.

So on January 16 away at Reggina, he was pressed by Roberto Mancini on the bench for the full 90 minutes. In this game, Reggina almost stuffed 10 players in the penalty area to defend, and Inter Milan was not in good form as a team, but in the end it was Ronaldo's long-range shot from outside the box that opened the situation, and Inter Milan won 1-0.

After this game, Serie A is just halfway through the schedule and has completed 19 rounds of matches.

Inter Milan, who have won seven consecutive league games, are currently on 39 points and have quietly climbed to third place in the standings.

AC Milan has won 4 and drawn 2 of their last 6 games, and also has 39 points, leading Inter Milan on goal difference.

Juventus, on the other hand, have won three and drawn three of their last six matches and currently have 43 points, narrowing the gap between Inter Milan and Inter Milan to four points.

The ownership of the Serie A championship once again has suspense.

"Brother, what's wrong with you these days?" After the day's training, Ronaldo stayed behind to accompany Licardo to practice, and the two sweated in the gym.

"Nothing." Licardo buried his head and struggled to do the apparatus exercises.

"No, you must have something, you've been laughing less lately." Ronaldo said.

"That's because I'm not doing well." Ricardo laughed.

"No," Ronaldo said, "I don't know you yet?" You just play and you're happy, and whether you're doing well or not, you're going to play with a smile on your face, just like Ronaldinho. Tell me about it, my brother can help you. ”

Li Cardo thought about it, saw that there was no one around, and finally spoke: "Actually, it's still that little thing at home." I had another argument with Stella. I didn't take her with me when I went back for Christmas, and after I came back, she kept stirring up trouble, borrowing questions to play, and several times when I was ready to go to bed, she provoked a quarrel, which made me unhappy all the time, and I couldn't sleep well. ”

Ronaldo smiled and shook his head: "You can't do it, brother, you can't even be a woman." Women are to be coaxed, and if you say more sweet words and coax, it won't be over. ”

Ricardo said listlessly: "I tried, but it didn't work." ”

"Then change the routine, come with something fresh, romantic, and women eat this set the most," Ronaldo thought for a moment and came up with an idea, "such as going home early after training and taking her to a good restaurant, or accompanying her to an opera in the evening." ”

"Not available." Ricardo was succinct and to the point.

"Ahem," Ronaldo smiled wryly, "brother, I didn't say you, don't make yourself like an ascetic." Football can't be the only thing in life, beautiful girls will make people happy. ”

Ricardo frowned and thought for a while: "Then let's go to the opera." If this trick doesn't work, she still quarrels with me, so I ignore her and let her go. I'd rather not have a girlfriend than go home every day and face a stinky face. ”

"Isn't it because you didn't do a good job of putting on a bad face? It would be nice if you made a little change. You can't live without a girlfriend, and a man can't live without a woman. The key is to learn to deal with family conflicts, brother. Ronaldo ended the conversation with a smile.

After all, Ricardo did as Ronaldo said, sacrificing a night's exercise and watching videos to accompany Stella to an opera.

Although Stella didn't say anything, and her face was expressionless during the whole process of watching the opera, she didn't look for Ricardo's stubble in the next few days, so that Ricardo slept a few comfortable nights.

On January 22, in the 20th round of Serie A, Inter Milan hosted Chievo, and Ricardo sat on the bench again.

Mancini discharged 442 parallel positions in midfield, and Keeley. Gonzalez plays left wing-back. However, he didn't play as well as Ricardo. While watching the game, Mancini was nostalgic for Ricardo a while ago.

He turned his head to look at Ricardo, who was staring intently at the court, and sighed inwardly. Young people, it's just that the state is unstable.

However, in training these days, Ricardo has shown signs of recovery. In the second half, he could have been arranged to play to find a feeling.

At the end of the upper body, the score was still 0:0.

Heading into the second half, Chievo's Franceschini took the lead with a long-range shot. At that time, several of Inter's midfielders completely neglected to protect the top of the arc, and the defensive system was still rotten.

And Veron, who started the game, still did not pass the ball to Ronaldo and Adriano.

After another 10 minutes, Mancini finally couldn't help himself and made two substitutions in a row.
