Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 209 Lottery-like talent

The first public training session of the national team ended hastily, it was so hasty that it couldn't be more hasty.

Even Scolari, who is well-informed, knows that he can't continue. If he continues to toss like this, the national team will not wait until Saturday's game against Slovakia, and he will be messed up!

The two groups of people from Benfica and Porto were all leisurely and looking like they were watching the show. Akchit and a few veteran players had embarrassing expressions on their faces. It is impossible to blame Ronando, the loser.

As for the two protagonists, Ronando took part in the training with an innocent look on his face. Although Figo was trying to endure, any fool could tell that the veteran was no longer calm.

The shortness of breath and occasional mistakes exposed Figo's extremely restless mood.

Go on like this?That's just making Figo play like a monkey!

This is too inappropriate for Figo, who has just accepted the captain's armband of the national team and is considered by many fans and teammates to be the "angel" of the national team and the "guarantee of victory over Slovakia"...

"Beep!!"

"The training match is over! The main team performed well. Go wash and change clothes first. The substitute team is the loser. They are punished to run 5 laps! After running, they will be disbanded automatically! The whole team will train as planned tomorrow afternoon, and the training subjects will no longer be open to the media. public!"

The orders issued by Scolari are strange.

The substitute team failed, so the penalty lap... Should the substitute team, which doesn't even have a neat lineup, beat the main team?
Wednesday's training was changed to internal training, and even the authorized media reporters were not allowed to watch. This is another puzzling order. The training of the national team must be kept secret even from domestic reporters?You know, the reporters present today are not allowed to take pictures, which already makes the reporters very dissatisfied. Tomorrow, they will be deprived of even the right to interview. How can the media publish news reports?
However, dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, today's task must be completed first.

Seeing the disbandment of the main team, the reporters rushed down from the stands, bypassed the stadium, and rushed to the exit of the training field, trying to block the interviews of the stars of the main team. This is the most important event of the day. Speaking of the national team training From the very beginning, reporters were not allowed to enter the players' dormitory area for interviews. Unless the players voluntarily entered the public area, otherwise, they would not be able to interview at all. These reporters have long been exhausted.

However, Scolari firmly guarded the position of the entrance and exit, ordered the assistant coach to lead the players off the field immediately, and refused reporters to interview the players!
"Mr. Scolari! This is not allowed! We must interview the players!"

"It's our right! You can't stop us!"

The journalists who were forced to rush were excited and yelled, but the Brazilian old man Scolari was not moved at all!
"Gentlemen! I have to be responsible for my team! I think now that the national team has just assembled and the players themselves don't know their position in the team, what can they answer? Maybe what they say will mislead you. So, if you have any questions, please ask me, I will be happy to answer your questions!"

Scolari is purely playing tricks, the reporters can cover a lot of things.

However, seeing that the players of the main team have gone away, these reporters really dare not forcefully push Scolari aside. This Brazilian old man is a hardliner. Once he is annoyed, he will be disqualified from interviewing and no one will even cry. reason.

"Mr. Scolari, please talk about your opinion on the training match just now...Of course, I mean the confrontation between Figo and Ronaldinho!"

"May I ask if today's starting lineup will be adjusted? If adjusted, which players do you like? For example, Cristiano, do you think he has the ability to play?"

"We noticed that the cooperation between several players in Benfica is very tacit. Is it possible for the Benfica trident to play together?"

"Is Figo indispensable? Where will he play?"

Figo!Ronando!Figo!Benfica! ...Almost all the problems revolve around Figo and Ronaldo, as if the main problems of the national team are now concentrated on the two players, the old one and the young one.

"Ahem! First of all, I don't think one training session can explain the strengths and weaknesses of any player. Second, in the next few days of training, the coaching staff will adjust the lineup of starting players according to the player's state. As for how to adjust, now I Unable to answer. Third, I reiterate a point, football is a team sport, in my team, no one player is ever special, every player has a fair chance to compete."

nonsense!What Scolari said were all clichés and empty words, in short, there was not a single truth!

The only useful sentence is probably that Scolari mentioned that "no one player is special". Does this also include Figo?
However, this is not the first time Scolari said this sentence. Practice has proved that this old guy belongs to a person who says one thing and does another. He said that there is no one special person in his mouth, but Figo has just returned. The national team was immediately appointed as the captain. Isn't this special treatment?
※※※

When the substitute players finished their laps and left the training ground, they were also personally protected by Scolari. He protected his players from being disturbed like an old hen. This time, he really did When it comes to treating the players of the main team and the substitute team equally.

However, when Ronando and Fernandez changed their clothes and returned to their room in the hotel, they immediately found that the room was full of people!

Not only Simao, Nuno Gomez, and Deco are here, but Maniche, Paulo Ferreira, and Jose Moreira are also here. Assemble, all the people belonging to their faction, no matter whether it is the 18 people in the main draft or the people on the 5-man reserve list, are all gathered together. This is the first time that everyone has gathered together without holding back after the official concentration of the national team Together.

"It's so enjoyable! Ronando, tell me honestly, how did you do it?"

"C Ronaldo, your previous steals were not so accurate?"

Deco was the first to speak, and Simao was the one who added the second sentence. The others also looked at Ronando with burning eyes.

In other words, if Ronando really has such an ability, it will be great news for these people. The reasons for this are somewhat subtle. One is related to whether some players can have an advantage when competing for the main position. Take Deco and Nuno Gomez for example. Second, it is related to the status of their "group" in the national team!
This is something that can only be understood and cannot be explained in words. Of course, the number one figure in the national team is coach Scolari, but the team cannot be monolithic.

In the current national team, Figo is the boss and the leader. With Figo, people who are close to him will be more likely to be recognized by Scolari and the media. The benefits cannot be expressed in specific language, but the practical significance is great.

For example, if Ugo Viana and Figo come from the same school, he may be dubbed "Figo's younger brother" and "Figo's successor" and get more attention, even those brands looking for endorsements , will also favor him when choosing players.

Now, Figo's throne has clearly cracked a gap, and the one who opened this gap is precisely the young man Ronando!

If Figo is KO'd by Ronaldo, the consequences will be huge. The easiest thing to imagine is the early withdrawal of the older generation of stars, while the generation of Simao and Deco will take the opportunity to succeed, and the status of others will also be reduced. Like climbing the stairs, they each take a step forward and share the benefits that originally belonged to Figo.

After the European Cup, Figo withdrew from the national team. This step of replacing the old and the new has been on the agenda, but with Figo's return, everything is faintly showing signs of regression.

This is evident when looking at the initial starting XI confirmed by Scolari!
Rui Costa and Pauletta, two veterans, have regained their important positions firmly, which is not unrelated to the tacit understanding between them and Figo on the court!

If there is no Figo, Rui Costa and Pauletta already have the meaning of retiring to the second line. The greatest significance of their existence is to support the young players of the national team, rather than rushing forward personally like they are now!
In short, whether Ronando's strength can overwhelm Figo will greatly affect whether the national team will still be dominated by the old generation of stars in the next year, or let the new generation of players play the leading role, and enter the "post-" Figo Era"...

Ronan scratched his head!
He was able to steal Figo, mainly relying on the "three-second God", and secondly, a little bit of luck. If Figo made another fake move at that time, it is estimated that the possibility of Ronando's mistakes will be infinitely enlarged. Now It will be Ronando, not Figo, who is frowning.

"Actually, my ability in defense is not strong! Sometimes, when I face an offensive player, I have a clear mind and can accurately judge the opponent's intention... But most of the time, I can't do this! Today I am in When defending Figo, he happened to be in that state..."

Explosive ability improvement!Unstable!Just like a player's flash of light on the field, if you want to achieve this effect every time, you might as well go to sleep!
This is what Ronando expressed, and this is his old method, pushing everything away.

"Huh! I knew it was like this! Why do you always have this problem?" Nuno Gomez took a light breath.

Not only Nuno Gomez has this expression, but also Benfica teammates Simão, Fernandez, Jose Moreira. They have seen Ronaldo's "wonderful state" in Benfica. "Well, his state on the court, when he performed well and when he performed badly, the contrast is too strong, no one can understand.

"What do you mean?"

"Is there anyone else who will encounter this situation? Playing football is like buying a lottery ticket. If you win a lottery, you will be in good shape. If you don't win a lottery, you will not be able to play well?"

Deco, Maniche and others are all down!
It is normal for ordinary players to have ups and downs in their status, but Ronando is no longer using "ups and downs" to explain it. No one has seen this kind of talent. , to force Figo down? ...But if Figo does not retreat to the second line, many tactics of the team will still revolve around Figo...
