The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Meazza on the evening of September 14th, the first match in Group G of the Champions League group stage, Inter Milan played at home against last season's Bundesliga champion Werder Bremen.

Werder Bremen won the championship with an absolute advantage of 6 points over Bayern Munich last season, and the results are very convincing.

Those who don't know this team always think that the team's brilliant record is entirely brought about by a few frontcourt players.

It is true that the Greek Charisteas scored 4 goals in 24 appearances in the league, the Croatian international Klashnic scored 13 goals in 29 appearances, and the midfielder Micoud - as Zidane's successor, he played for Werder Bremen played 32 times and scored 10 goals. They all made great contributions to Werder Bremen's championship.

And this season they introduced the German international Klose, and the frontcourt strength has been further strengthened.

But if you ignore Bremen's simple but very functional defense and midfield, it will definitely suffer a big loss. Pasanin, Ismail, Horst, Borowski, Bowman... these names may not be well-known, but those who underestimated them paid the price.

In this game, Bremen formed a 4312 formation, three meat grinder midfielders with midfielder Micoud, at the top are Klasnic and young Paraguayan striker Valdez, Charlster Yass and Klose are both on the bench.

It can be seen from this formation that Bremen intends to play a defensive counterattack in the away game. Klasnic and Valdes are both fast, excellent in dribbling, and have a certain ability to play the ball, suitable for counterattack forward.

And Micoud is called "Zidane's successor" by the French media. Naturally, it is not unreasonable. He has excellent skills, dribbling, shooting, and passing are quite standard, and his speed is very fast. At the same time, he is also strong enough. The ability to fight is not bad. With him on the court, the two strikers will be continuously provided with shells. Micoud, who played for Parma in the 2ooo-2oo2 season, is also familiar enough with Italian football. In the oo-o1 season, Parma's ability to reach the top four in the league is inseparable from Micoud's midfield scheduling.

Inter Milan continued to play the 442 formation with parallel positions in the midfield. Mikhailovich, who contributed a disastrous performance in the last game, was taken out of the list.

He was replaced by the Colombian international Cordoba; the right forward van der Meyde, Stankovic was moved to the center to partner with Veron, the left forward Ricardo; the striker is a combination of Adriano and Vieri.

The most attractive thing to watch is probably the first time for new aid Ricardo.

In Meazza's North Stand, many diehard fans waited eagerly to see Ricardo's show at Meazza Stadium.

Of course they knew about Ricardo's outstanding performance in the last round of the league, but that was only an away game, and not many people had witnessed his performance with the team when they went to Verona.

And today, Ricardo will make his first appearance in front of tens of thousands of Neilas.

During the warm-up, Ricardo was in a good mood, talking and laughing with Adriano and Vieri. You could tell he was relaxed and not stressed at all.

Speaking of which, he hasn't played in the Champions League for a long, long time... Since he was returned by Tottenham in his last life, he has never participated in the highest level of European clubs.

He misses performing on such a stage terribly.

In this life, although he has not played in the Champions League, he has played more than a dozen games in the Copa Libertadores, which is the same level as the Champions League. The fanatical atmosphere of South American football is no worse than that of the Champions League, so he has no The necessity of stage fright.

Before the game started, many fans in the stands were already jumping, singing and dancing, and some fans were communicating.

"Remember, don't be too harsh on our new aid, give them some time to adapt. Even if they make a serious mistake in this game, never boo them." Nerazzurri Milan (mi1ano nerazzurra) fans organized One of the leaders, Casiraghi said.

Several people around him nodded repeatedly: "We don't need you to tell us, Mario, we are very patient."

"It's not just us," Casiraghi said. "It's better for a couple of other organizations to align with us."

This is of course difficult to do. Although Nerazzurri Milan is one of the largest Inter Milan fan organizations, they cannot forcefully exert influence on other fan organizations.

However, several people still agreed: "I will contact you right away."

"Mario, did you go to the match against Chievo last time? How was Ricardo's performance?" Dino, who was also one of the core members of the Nerazzurri Milano, asked the question.

"Excellent." Casiraghi said simply.

"To be specific," Dino was not satisfied with this answer, "How good is he? Can he become Ronnie's successor and lead us to move forward in the next ten years?"

Casiraghi said without hesitation: "Of course, as long as you watch his game, you will have the same idea as me. 20 million US dollars, this time we really found a treasure."

"$200 million is not cheap, man, we only spent $2.75 million on Ronaldo back then."

"Hehe, can it be compared to now? Any transfer now costs 40 to 50 million euros," Karasic said confidently, "As for whether it is worth it, you don't have to argue with me. One game and you'll understand."

They were happily communicating, and the referee had already blown the whistle to start the game. Inter Milan kicked off, and they launched a sharp attack towards the opponent's goal from the first minute, and the successive waves of attacks all started from the left.

"Riccardo has the ball again. He is very active today. This is his first appearance at the Meazza Stadium. It is estimated that he wants to leave a deep impression on the fans." The commentator said.

Ricardo knew exactly what he should do. The game must be won. Appropriate showing off skills is also necessary. Fans not only hope that the team will win, but also look forward to seeing wonderful performances.

Although it seems to be picky, the fans are the ones who support the players, and of course we must work hard to please them.

So Licardo decided to increase dribbling appropriately today.

Of course, he is not dribbling blindly, nor is he dribbling when it should be mentioned to waste time, but when he feels that he needs to use dribbling to create space and open up the situation, he takes a few kicks.

The Finn Pasanin bent down and stared closely at Ricardo's shoulders, paying attention to Ricardo's footsteps and football from the corner of his eyes.

Although he is not very young, only 23 years old, he has played more than ten games for the Finnish national team, and has also established himself as the main player in Werder Bremen. He can be regarded as an experienced defensive player.

Today he did not play the central defender he is familiar with, but came to the right back position, just to defend Riccardo.

He clearly remembered what Schaf said in the locker room: "The opponent's Ronaldo can't play, which is good news for us, but their Vieri and Adriano can't be underestimated. There is another person, Ricardo , don’t underestimate him, he is a player who can create miracles on the court. Betley, he will be left to you to defend.”

But he didn't understand why the head coach Schaff made such an arrangement. His strengths are fierce fighting and good sense of position, but his weakness is that his physical fitness is not good enough and his speed is too slow. Judging from the situation in the first few minutes, he couldn't keep up with Ricardo's footsteps at all.

So he was very nervous at this time, as if he was facing a big enemy.
