Chapter 403: I Knew Chris Earlier Than Gossip

Scoring eleven goals and conceding only one goal in two league games, Real Madrid dominated the public opinion arena of La Liga in a way that all fans could not have imagined before the season!

Whether it is the news of Barcelona or Atletico Madrid, after the first two rounds of the league, they have been ruthlessly left behind by football reports related to Real Madrid!

Even if Barcelona has Messi, a long-time talking point in football, it can't be.

To put it mildly, who of Spain's well-known sports journalists still tracks and reports on Messi.

After Leon returned to Real Madrid, he scored six goals in two official games, and this explosive performance completely overshadowed Messi's brilliance.

Now, no matter what kind of news report it is, as long as it is related to Li Ang, it can basically be a big hit.

Suddenly, Real Madrid and Leon directly became hot topics that fans around the world are discussing in real time.

It is precisely in this situation of global heated discussion that the news of Ronaldo's return from injury has not attracted much media attention.

More neutral fans only lamented that the strength of Real Madrid's first team has been strengthened again.

That seems to mean that Ronaldo's return is just icing on the cake, and the current Real Madrid can beat their opponents normally even without Ronaldo.

Some Western media, which are more radical, or want to attract people's attention, have even put forward the argument that Real Madrid with Leon no longer needs to regard Ronaldo as the top card.

The point of view is also very straightforward, that is, the total number of goals created by Leon in a single season can perfectly replace Ronaldo's goals.

Such an argument is very comical and unfounded when examined in detail.

But there are a lot of media follow-up propaganda, and there are more neutral fans who eat this set.

Seeing that Ronaldo was at risk of falling into a crisis of public opinion, Mendes did not dare to be careless and launched public relations at the beginning of the signs that something was wrong.

However, for Ronaldo himself, he has seen such small storms too many times.

Since his debut and transfer to Manchester United, all kinds of criticism have been around him and have never stopped.

Compared with Messi's too smooth public opinion environment, Ronaldo has always faced a "public opinion war."

”。

Because although there are many fans who support him, there are also many fans who stand on the opposite side of public opinion to crusade against him.

So now this whirlpool of public opinion is not harmful to Ronaldo at all, and he has long been accustomed to fighting back with performance in this environment.

In the exclusive disclosure of "Marca", the Portuguese superstar is indeed in a good mood after participating in the joint training, and his physical condition also "seems" to be fine.

If nothing else, the next La Liga game will be Ronaldo's first La Liga game of the new season, and Ancelotti will not let his ace striker sit on the bench.

Real Madrid fans are looking forward to it, and the BBC have not played against Real Madrid's new midfield trio since the start of the new season.

In the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo before, Real Madrid's attacking firepower was already very satisfactory to them

Now that Cristiano Ronaldo is back perfectly, the Melingers will only be more confident in the team's next winning streak.

As for the integration of Ronaldo after returning from injury?

Real Madrid fans never thought about it.

After all, Li Ang can still maintain such a tacit understanding with his old teammates after returning from leaving the team three years later, and Ronaldo will certainly have no problem!

The fans' expectations are always optimistic.

But in reality, the quality of Cristiano Ronaldo's involvement in the team's joint training after returning from injury quickly made it difficult for the members of the Real Madrid coaching staff.

Cristiano Ronaldo's body does not have any medical problems, and his fitness is also good.

At least during the 12-day break between the second and third rounds of the new La Liga season, it will be no problem to get back to the point where you can start and play 70 minutes.

The problem lies in the "heaviness" of Ronaldo's body and the loss of smell in front of the goal.

To be more specific, Cristiano Ronaldo has played too many games in the past season, and with his age, it will take much longer than ever to recover.

This is also an embarrassing problem that countless veterans must face at this age.

When Leon communicated with Ronaldo on the phone after the European Cup, he advised Ronaldo to let him consider appropriate weight loss.

As soon as a striker turns 30, it is far more important to maintain a light body and physical health than to pursue strength and strength.

Of course, Ronaldo also listened to Leon's advice, and therefore began to work on a weight-loss plan.

But this offseason is too short for him, he has to rest, but also to recuperate, and when he returns from injury, he has to start training with the team non-stop.

No matter how disciplined he is, it is impossible for him to lose weight in a healthy way in just over a month.

So the problem in front of Cristiano Ronaldo and the Real Madrid coaching staff is a bit unsolvable.

Both sides know that resolving this form will require more recuperation and adjustment time, but for Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid, time is of the essence.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be worried about his status in the team

The Real Madrid coaching staff will be even more worried about whether the integration of the fully recovered Cristiano Ronaldo into the team system will affect the team's results in the middle of the season?

Of course, there is another consideration, that is, will it affect the mentality of Isco, who has already played in the starting position at Real Madrid?

Ancelotti had been burning his brain cells for days.

And in the end, he trusted Ronaldo more and chose to give Ronaldo more time to adjust on the field.

So after resting for more than a week, Real Madrid fans finally saw the long-lost Ronaldo name in the 18-man squad released by the team before the game.

Carlo Ancelotti also bluntly stated in the pre-match press conference that as long as Ronaldo is healthy, he will definitely be a starter in Real Madrid's forward line.

Such a "perfect speech" naturally made many Ronaldo fans and Real Madrid fans very satisfied.

For a while, it seemed that only Osasuna's supporters were lamenting the team's bad luck, how could it happen to coincide with Ronaldo's return!

On the afternoon of September 10, the Bernabeu, which was once again full early, was filled with a frenzied and joyful atmosphere.

Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu are looking forward to their king's return.

I look forward to the team continuing the fiery form of the first two games and continuing to win the third league game in the form of a big score!

When the live broadcast camera swept over Ronaldo and Li Ang, who were smiling and communicating in the players' tunnel before the game, the Meilinger people on the scene suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers!

The popularity of the two in the Real Madrid team can be said to be in the top two, and with their two current core players in Real Madrid's midfield, the Meilinger are even more confident that they can win any opponent.

At three o'clock in the afternoon Madrid time, the focus of the third round of La Liga started on time.

Real Madrid is at home, not to mention, but also ushered in the return of Ronaldo, with a rainbow of momentum, from the beginning of the game to press Osasuna, and press on the strong attack!

The BBC's first combined appearance of the new season also attracted the interest of many neutral fans.

Isco's previous start as a left winger in place of Cristiano Ronaldo was actually very good, but his style of play is very different from Ronaldo's after all.

Isco has delicate technique and beautiful dribbling, but it lacks the shock that the speed impact brings to the fans.

He and Bale also struggled to play with the tactical effect of flying on both wings.

So even though his strength has been recognized by many fans, fans still want to see Ronaldo play with Bale to impact the opponent's defense.

Although Li Ang didn't think about it so much, he also saved more thoughts about feeding Ronaldo at the beginning of the game to help him find more ways to feel like the game.

Therefore, in Real Madrid's ferocious offensive at the beginning, most of the tactical initiation side was on the left side where Ronaldo was.

Marcelo tends to press forward with Cristiano Ronaldo, taking turns to break through with the ball or run off the ball.

Leon will be on their flanks to receive the ball or provide defensive protection.

Osasuna adopted a more conservative defensive strategy in this game, so the effect of Real Madrid's pressure across the board looks remarkable.

On the surface, at least, Real Madrid have squeezed down Osasuna's backline and are constantly probing in the heart of their half.

But any more careful Real Madrid fan will quickly find out that most of Ronaldo's breakthrough attempts at the start of the day ended in failure.

His posture still looked a little heavy, and his dribbling movements were not very smooth, and it seemed that even his breakthrough speed was slightly affected.

Real Madrid's attack on the left side is quite fluid, and Marcelo must be praised for his excellent performance.

Of course, it is also indispensable for Leon to defend the two on the left side of the midfield.

It doesn't matter if Ronaldo loses the ball, Leon can always get it back, once or twice.

However, the loss of possession is more frequent, and not only the fans will feel that something is wrong, but the Osasuna defenders as opponents will also take the initiative to take advantage of it.

When the game reached the thirteenth minute of the first half, Osasuna took the initiative to defend Cristiano Ronaldo with the ball in the backfield.

And as soon as he grabbed the ball, Osasuna launched a long counterattack!

They were clever enough to play this simple counter-attack, as they could go straight past Leon's sweeping zone in midfield.

And when the defensive force that needs to be faced directly has changed from Leanga Casemiro to Casemiro alone, Osasuna high school striker Cordero, who is the fulcrum of the breakthrough, has more opportunities to grab a little ball!

Casemiro did have a hard time facing Codéro, who is 1.9 meters tall, alone.

After all, the opponent almost gave up the ground advancement, and played a long pass and rush, and Codero's header was able to complete the ball transfer.

This simple counter-attacking style of play is not a threat to Real Madrid most of the time, but at the moment Osasuna is playing so vigorously that the cheers at the Bernabeu are much smaller than at the beginning.

The arrogant Real Madrid home fans can still endure without booing at this time, but if the situation on the field continues like this for about ten minutes, the follow-up situation is not easy to say.

However, when it matters most, there will always be stars in the Real Madrid team who will step up and bring the rhythm of the game back on track.

This time, it was Leon who retreated in time and stabilized his position on the defensive end.

However, he did not choose to play as a midfielder with Casemiro, but retreated to play a single midfielder by himself, and then let Casemiro go up to play as a central midfielder!

Such a change in position improved Real Madrid's previous defensive passivity in midfield.

Casemiro can't withstand the high striker, but Leon can completely withstand, and Casemiro also has the footwork to participate in the attack, so Real Madrid's offensive firepower has not weakened because of Leon's position retreating.

Osasuna didn't even have three axes on the counterattack end, so he made a long pass to hang this board axe, and now it was offset by Leang, so naturally he could only return to the embarrassing situation of being suppressed by Real Madrid.

And although Real Madrid's attack on Cristiano Ronaldo's side did not come out today, the attack on the middle and right flanks still played very well.

Bale charged Osasuna's left wing-back Fuentes to the point where he was completely unable to parry, and Modric took the opportunity to repeatedly move forward to the ribs of the Osasuna penalty area.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Modric finally managed to get a key pass from Carvajal!

Balla took away Osasuna's defenders on the flank, so the Magic Flute went down with ease and then sent in an inverted triangle cross!

Benzema collided with Osasuna centre-back Franho, but the ball didn't fly towards Osasuna's goal, but flew in reverse to the outside of the box!

At the critical moment, Casemiro stepped forward and smashed the balance of the field with a powerful volley that did not stop

I saw the football whistling, and with a strange arc, it went straight into the net in the lower right corner of the Osasuna goal!

The Bernabeu, which had been silent for a long time, finally broke out into earth-shattering cheers at this moment!

Real Madrid fans vented their frustration and dissatisfaction to the fullest, and Ancelotti, who was sitting in the coach's seat, was also relieved at the moment.

On the court at this moment, Li Ang rushed to the front court and celebrated with his teammates with a passionate hug, and also patted the back of Ronaldo's head.

"Take your time, Chris, we've got time this season, everyone trusts you 100 per cent, don't put too much pressure on yourself......"

Leon's comfort made the depressed Ronaldo feel a little better.

It's just that in the rest of the first half, Ronaldo, who was actively looking for a chance to shoot, still failed to open Osasuna's goal.

At half-time, Carlo Ancelotti reassured Ronaldo.

He also still gave Ronaldo enough time to adjust on the field.

Cristiano Ronaldo was not substituted throughout the second half and played the full 90 minutes in his first La Liga game after returning from injury.

But in the end, in addition to the offensive data of nine shots in a single game, Ronaldo did not have any personal data in his account.

Real Madrid also seemed to have interrupted their hot form in the previous two league games, winning just 2-0 against Osasuna in this game.

For a moment, the more perceptive Melinger seemed to anticipate the sharp criticism that Ronaldo would face after the game.

But fortunately, this time, someone stood firmly beside Ronaldo and faced this intolerant world of public opinion with him.

"Let him rest quietly, he still needs time to adjust, and I don't care about the news you wrote, because I knew Chris before the gossip you wrote."
