The Day I Played with Ronaldo

After the press conference, Ricciardo rested for a day, and then drove (Farrah had already found a temporary driver for him) the next day to Brunico, where Inter Milan's summer training camp was arranged.

The closer he got, the more nervous Licado became.

Finally here. Finally came to Ronaldo's side. There are new challenges here, and many new difficulties to overcome.

But he is fearless.

To be able to play next to Ronaldo... so happy.

Brunico training base.

A young staff member greeted him with a flattering smile: "Licardo? Please follow me, and I will take you to the locker room."

"Thank you, what's your name?" Licado smiled.

"Mandy, my name is Mandy," the staff member looked flattered, "Can you sign me later?"

Ricardo laughed and said, "I thought my reputation hadn't spread to Europe yet."

With Ricardo's amiable attitude, Mandy's nervousness was reduced, and she talked freely: "After knowing that you are going to join, I went to find some information about you, and only then did I realize how great you are. 17 years old To win the Confederations Cup Golden Boot, the Copa Libertadores Golden Boot, and the Copa America Golden Boot at the age of 18, God, you will definitely become a top star like your brother."

"Thank you for your good words." Ricardo smiled. He is also a mortal, of course he likes to hear good things.

When he arrived at the door of the locker room, he signed Mandy's autograph and walked into the locker room.

There are already two people in the locker room,

Ricardo knew each other, Materazzi and Captain Zanetti.

He greeted familiarly: "Marco, captain, good morning."

"Our little genius is here!" Materazzi laughed.

His voice didn't seem yin and yang, so Ricardo judged that he was sincerely praising himself, so he said with a friendly smile, "Marco, come on, with my brother around, who else would dare to call himself a genius."

"No, you can. You are as good as Ronnie. Both of you brothers are geniuses who only appear once in a generation." Materazzi praised.

"Okay, Marco, he's still young, don't brag too much," captain Zanetti said with a smile, "Ricardo, come here, your locker is here."

Zanetti led Ricardo to an empty cabinet without any signage.

"We're just training temporarily here, so there's no sign on the wardrobe, you can put something on it yourself."

"Thank you, Captain."

"You can call me Javier, Ricardo, don't be so restrained." Zanetti laughed.

"Okay, Javier, please take care of me in the future."

Zanetti showed admiring eyes: "Good job, boy, you are the most talented young man I have ever seen, I wish you great success at Inter Milan. Come to my house tonight, I will hold a welcome party, Remember to bring a female partner, I never bring a woman to my party."

This time it was Ricardo's turn to be flattered. Not every player could enjoy the welcome party hosted by the captain himself when he came to the team. He guessed it was because of Ronaldo's face. "Okay, Javier, thank you."

After changing his clothes, Ricardo was not in a hurry to leave the locker room for training. Today was his first day of training, so he had to greet his teammates first.

The rest of the players arrived one after another. Under Zanetti's introduction, most of them chatted with Ricardo. After all, Ricardo's brother is the biggest boss in the team, and no one wants to offend him.

There are also a few players who have not yet learned Italian, but they either speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, and they have no problem communicating.

This season, Inter Milan's signings are in full swing. So far, only four deals have been finalized: Ricardo's transfer, Veron's loan from Chelsea, Burdisso's joining from Boca Juniors, and Swap between Cannavaro and Carlini.

Cannavaro added 1,000,000 euros in exchange for goalkeeper Carlini from Juventus, an unknown player. No one can figure out why Inter Milan made such an obvious loss-making transaction. Some people say it is for accounting purposes, but it is not known whether it is true or not.

After Cannavaro went to Juventus, he had a second spring and achieved Juventus' consecutive championships. In 2006, he became the only defensive player who won the Ballon d'Or in recent years.

This transaction has also been nailed to the pillar of shame, and has been criticized and ridiculed by fans and football critics for decades. It will be brought up for re-discussion soon, and it was named one of the "Top Ten Worst Transfers in Inter Milan History".

In recent years, Inter Milan has indeed done a lot of stupid transactions, such as using Seedorf to exchange Koko from AC Milan, and Koko did not play a few games in Inter Milan, but Seedorf helped AC Milan win Multiple championships; for example, Pirlo's low price of 1.7 million euros was given to AC Milan; for example, the parallel importer Farinos was bought at a sky-high price...

As for Bergkamp, ​​Carlos, and Summer, it is even more painful.

Bergkamp became the new king of the Gunners, Carlos became the world's number one left back in Real Madrid, Sammer won the Ballon d'Or and the Champions League when he arrived in Dortmund...

No wonder Inter Milan is known as the "star black hole". Famous stars can't make a name for themselves here, but they can quickly rise after leaving at a low price.

Ricardo does not want his transfer to be rated as a "disappointing signing" in the future. For this reason, he has to train harder and gain a firm foothold in Inter Milan as soon as possible.

In addition, Ricardo also met several players who were rumored to be leaving the team. Almeida, Caron, Ventola, Helveg, etc.

Caron and Ventola didn't have a good look at Ricardo. It was Ricardo's joining and their departure process. The team didn't need 8 forwards anyway, and their sad departure was a foregone conclusion.

Ronaldo was late when all the staff arrived. According to the media, Ronaldo has become more undisciplined and arrogant in the past two years, his private life has been chaotic, and his state has declined sharply. Therefore, in the past two years, he has lost all four major players in Inter Milan and has not won any important championships.

In fact, Ronaldo cannot be blamed for not winning the championship. After all, AC Milan, Juventus, and Roma have been strong in recent years, and they are stronger than Inter Milan in every position except the striker.

Moreover, Inter Milan's management is chaotic, and the head coach Argentine Cooper has also proved that he is not suitable for the team. So in the middle of last season, Cooper left the team sadly, and Moratti also resigned from the chairmanship, and Facchetti took over.

Riccardo felt that although Ronaldo's training attitude was not good and his private life was indeed chaotic, he was actually not in a bad state on the court, but he was dragged down by the general environment. The other Inter Milan players did not give him enough support. Let him go it alone in the frontcourt.

Watching the live broadcast of Inter Milan’s games, I often see players in the midfield and backcourt stealing, and looking for Ronaldo with big feet, and then Ronaldo dribbled the ball left and right, using speed and technique to tear the opponent’s defense, and finally shot or passed the ball to the position better teammates.

The current Inter Milan lacks creative midfielders and the offensive organization is extremely chaotic. No matter how godlike Ronaldo is, it is impossible to change the situation by himself in every game.

Of course, Veron's arrival on loan should make the situation better.
