Chapter 660: Psychological Warfare

In terms of character, competitiveness is one of Ronaldo's strengths, and at the same time, it is also one of his weaknesses.

As Ronaldo's mentor, Ferguson clearly knows him very well.

At a time when all of European football was looking at the Champions League semi-finals, Alex Ferguson spoke up to the occasion, with the United godfather saying: "There's no doubt that Cristiano is a very good player, he has a lot of talent, he did a great job at Barcelona. At the same time, I would also like to say that there is another player at Barcelona who is also very good, even more talented, yes, I mean Messi. ”

Ferguson has a good relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, so he just points to the end and doesn't judge Ronaldo head-on, but the rest of the club is obviously not so humble.

"Barcelona? Without a doubt, Messi is the most dangerous player in their squad! This Argentine youngster is very good, he seems to be Maradona's successor, Cristiano? He's of course good, but I think it's weaker than Messi. Van der Sar said.

'Cristiano did score a lot of goals for Barcelona but I think it was the result of a crazy shooter and if I had been given that many shots, I can guarantee that I would have done better than him. In comparison, Messi's goals are more efficient, and his shots are more accurate. "Ruud van Nistelrooy is already at odds with Cristiano Ronaldo, so he certainly won't miss such an opportunity to attack his opponent.

At the same time, Robben was interviewed by journalists from his own country. To put it this way: "I think I'm better suited than Cristiano to be the number seven for Manchester United, he's just too profligate and always complains about his team-mates on the pitch. He was excessively selfish. Messi? I don't want to take the comments, but he's a lot more beautiful than Cristiano's way of playing. ”

Rather than lashing out at Ronaldo as a compatriot, Quaresma said: "Cristiano is very good, but I think I can do as well as he did, even...... Better! ”

I don't know if it was Ferguson's deliberate instigation or coincidence, and then many of England's football legends expressed their opinions. The opinions are almost unanimous, they think that Messi is better and better than Ronaldo!

Time. The wings of the Barcelona team have become the hottest topic in the entire English football scene, and the media has also had a big discussion about who is stronger and who is weaker between Ronaldo and Messi.

"Cristiano may look physically stronger, but Messi is just as weak against him and he's smarter when he plays. He knows when it's time to shoot. When to pass the ball, not like Cristiano, there is only one option left after taking the ball - shooting. - Daily Mail.

"Cristiano is an attacking finisher, he rarely plays tacit cooperation with his teammates, and most of the game, he is more about coming up with a better number than for the team and the collective. In terms of ball quotient, the Portuguese is obviously much worse than Messi. β€”The Times.

"If Cristiano could have complained less on the pitch. Comfort your opponent more and shoot less often. Pass the ball to my team-mates a lot and I think he can definitely rise to another level in his career. In comparison, Messi is much better than him in this regard. β€”The Guardian.

……

As if it had been discussed, the whole of England suddenly fell into a wave of condemnation of Ronaldo, and Messi's momentum rose.

Inside the Barcelona manager's office, Roy. Keane slammed the newspaper to the ground and said angrily, "It must be the old guy's idea, it must be him!" ”

There is no doubt that Roy. The "old guy" Keane was referring to Ferguson. Since leaving Manchester United, Keane has repeatedly blasted Ferguson in public, which has been a complete rupture.

Klopp sat on the other side with a calm face, and said angrily: "Their intention is very simple, that is, they want to provoke the relationship between Cristiano and Leo, so as to create a conflict in the atmosphere of our team." ”

Qiao Wan squinted his eyes and nodded in agreement: "That's right, they just want to provoke Cristiano by belittling him and make him play abnormally on the court; He also used excessive praise to influence Messi's psychology, and then also achieved the purpose of influencing his performance on the field. I have to say that Ferguson's psychological warfare is very beautiful. ”

In fact, in the previous life, many people were happy to use this set to deal with the almost invincible Ronaldo and Messi. When playing against Real Madrid, the opponent will praise Messi to belittle Ronaldo, and when playing against Barcelona, the opponent will praise Ronaldo to stimulate Messi, trying to affect the purpose of the opponent's core players.

Now that Ronaldo and Messi are on the same team, it is clear that this problem will become more and more difficult to solve.

In his previous life, when others were belittling Ronaldo, his opponents and coaches would stand up and speak for Ronaldo, saying that he was better than Messi; When belittled Messi and praised Ronaldo, there will also be a large number of fans who stand up and wave their flags.

But what now?

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!

"This old fox likes to play off-the-field tricks!" Roy. Keane has played under Alex Ferguson for many years and knows the old man, "When he was in the Premier League, he always tried to put pressure on the referee, and the team was always able to profit from the game. He couldn't control the Champions League, and he began to play such tricks again. ”

Qiao Wanxian sighed, waved his hand and said, "There's no need to say that, off-field factors, this is also a part of football games." ”

Roy. Keane snorted angrily: "Just your generosity!" ”

Klopp frowned and said: "Now is not the time to talk about Ferguson, it's time to talk about how to deal with this situation." By the time we get to Manchester, there will be more of that, which is very important to Cristiano. Neither Ronaldo nor Messi is good. ”

Qiao Wanxian rubbed his head a little tiredly: "What should I do?" In my opinion, normal training, normal preparation, as if this had not happened. ”

"Huh? How can this work? Klopp was quick to object.

Qiao Wan smiled bitterly: "Then what else can I do?" ”

Klopp hurriedly said: "At least make a statement, Cristiano is as good as Messi, they are different types of players, they have different styles of play, you can't use one person to ask for another, it's not fair to anyone." ”

Roy. Keane nodded, clearly agreeing with Klopp's claim, or at least it was the most official response.

Qiao Wanxian sighed, looked at the ceiling and said: "Now in the daily competition in the training ground, Cristiano beats Messi, if we say that he is as good as Messi, this is no different from belittling him." ”

Suddenly, Klopp and Roy. Keane had a black line in his head.

Qiao Wanxian is right, with their understanding of Ronaldo's extremely strong personality, it is true.

"Then you can't let that old guy sow discord like this, right?" Roy. Keane said unconvinced.

Qiao Wanxian said calmly: "Cristiano and Messi are both mature players, they know how to deal with such a situation, it's really not good, I'll find a chance to talk to Cristiano, in short, this matter must not be promoted in the team." ”

Klopp let out a long sigh: "Hey, the troubles of happiness! ”

Indeed, to let Messi and Ronaldo be in the same team at the same time, this is a very bold imagination of Qiao Wanxian, both of them need unlimited fire rights in the front court, and the activity area is very large, and there is often overlap in position.

Roy. Keane pondered for a long time, and said thoughtfully, "Since the old guy is playing this hand with us, why should we fight back?" In the Manchester United team, Robben, Quaresma, Ryan Giggs, and even Park Ji-sung and others, the competition for the wings is very strong, and we can also ......"

Qiao Wan laughed casually, and said casually: "Come on, you like you to get it, but I'm not interested, I still need to play this kind of small trick to break Manchester United?" I can't afford to lose that person! ”

Klopp and Roy. Keane looked at each other for a moment, rolling his eyes at the same time.

Joe Cannon, can you fit a little more? (To be continued......)
