The Day I Played with Ronaldo

After walking out of the ICU ward, Licado called Uncle Paul and briefly talked about Stella's situation.

In order to prevent Uncle Paul from being overly worried, Licado said that Stella had only suffered minor injuries, and was kept in the hospital for observation for two days just to be on the safe side, and did not mention that Stella had an operation.

In this way, Uncle Paul was still worried. After hanging up the phone, he bought a plane ticket to Italy and expected to arrive tomorrow morning.

Ricardo spent the entire day in the hospital, perhaps for the first time in his life, he didn't think about football at all.

If Ronaldo, Adriano and others hadn't called him to ask him, he wouldn't even have thought that there would be a game today, and he didn't even think about whether the game would be related to whether the team could enter the top four of the Champions League.

In the afternoon, Stella's agent arrived. He was a gray-haired but still handsome middle-aged man named Valverde. He had fashionable clothes and a decent conversation. If he was ten years younger, Ricardo There must be a sense of crisis.

Valverde had only met Riccardo once before, and had no in-depth conversations.

He apologized to Ricardo, saying that he just got the news that he shouldn't have let Stella drive back to Milan alone late at night.

After a few words of politeness, he called a girl from the company to come over to accompany Shidela, and then liberated Licado.

Back at the hotel at night, Ricardo suddenly remembered the game, turned on the TV and saw that Inter Milan was trailing 0:1 in the away game. The game time is already the second half, the 65th minute.

Ricardo quickly used the hotel computer to check the progress of the game, and found that it was Stam who scored the goal. In stoppage time in the first half, he beat Cordoba with a header when Pirlo took a free kick. The gate guarded by Aldo.

Due to the temporary absence of Ricardo today, Mancini had to send a combination of Ronaldo and Martins. Vieri was in such a poor state that Mancini could not trust him.

Under the defense of Stam and Nesta, Ronaldo failed to get a good chance. But he still used his personal ability to pose some threats to AC Milan's goal, and Dida was embarrassed by several shots. Especially in the 44th minute, he ran to the side to get the ball and then swayed Cafu, Gattuso and Nesta in a row, and shot from the far corner, but Dida bravely shot the ball out of the baseline.

In addition, Mikhailovich's two free kicks are also of high quality. However, if Dida has a divine help today, he will block the ball high and try to keep the goal.

The commentary said that judging from the first half, the two teams should be evenly divided. Inter Milan is not inferior to the opponent in both offense and defense, and even slightly better. But AC Milan's luck is obviously better, or the ability to seize opportunities is better.

Licado withdrew his gaze from the computer screen and continued to watch the live broadcast of the game.

At this time, due to being behind, Mancini had replaced Martins with Vieri. Vieri used his strong body to attack AC Milan's defense and provide support for Ronaldo.

Cambiasso, Veron and Stankovic in the midfield are all relatively high, leaving only C. Zanetti to defend, and the two full-backs Zanetti and Favalli also frequently assist. Obviously Mancini is determined Must score away goals.

Then Mancini made another substitution adjustment, replacing the mediocre Veron with the 2004 European Cup champion member, the Greek Karagounis.

Seeing this substitution, Ricardo rolled his eyes. Karagunis has only played once in Inter Milan this season, and his state is difficult to guarantee. It is better to replace him with Cruz as a 3-forward.

Sure enough, Karagunis, who had just played, had two stoppage errors, and then his poor defense allowed Shevchenko to drive straight in from the wing. Mikhailovich had to push him down to resolve the danger.

Pirlo took the free kick, and Ricardo couldn't help feeling nervous. This position is quite good.

Moreover, AC Milan has several high points. On the contrary, Inter Milan's defense line is not tall enough, which is a disadvantage.

Pirlo took the free kick with a wide arc. Stam suddenly jumped forward and took Mihajlovic and C. Zanetti out, but the ball flew past his head. , Fly to the middle.

Shevchenko got ahead of Cordoba with a header and the ball flew into the far corner and Toldo failed to react.

"Shevchenko goal! This is the 12th goal he has scored against Inter Milan in 6 years, averaging 2 goals per season, he is the nemesis of Inter Milan! Stam attracted Inter Milan in the front point Attention to the two high points, Shevchenko ambushed in the middle and easily scored, AC Milan led 2:0! Inter Milan must work hard immediately, otherwise the score will be very unfavorable for their next round of the game."

Inter Milan fell behind by two goals, and Ricardo became anxious. Although he is not on the court, this game is also closely related to him.

In the next period of time, Inter Milan played quite impatiently, and the players fouled consecutively. Mancini quickly replaced C. Zanetti with Van der Meyde and played in a 4-2-4 formation, desperate to score an away goal. And Ancelotti is still there, replacing Crespo with Ambrosini and playing 451 defensive counterattack.

Riccardo almost watched the last few minutes of the game standing up.

In the 87th minute, Van der Meyde received a pass from Stankovic on the left. He flicked the ball and immediately passed it to the back point. Karagunis stopped the ball on the chest on the right side of the penalty area, but it was a bit too big. He chased it quickly, and he caught up with the ball near the baseline. Before Maldini broke it, he volleyed from a small angle with his right foot and hit the goal. Bottom line pops out outside post.

Ricardo held his head and sighed.

In the 89th minute, Shevchenko volleyed with his left foot 20 meters in front of the goal, and Toldo lifted it out of the crossbar.

Pirlo takes a tactical corner kick, Kaka protects the ball and delays time near the baseline, Karagunis pushes and squeezes the ball to break it, and finds Vieri with a long pass.

Vieri made no mistakes this time. He headed the ball and handed it to Stankovic. Stankovic immediately passed to Ronaldo who was plugging in at high speed, forming a short-term 2-on-2 situation.

Ronaldo dribbled the ball at high speed, Maldini didn't dare to grab it, put his hands behind his back and stepped back step by step, Ronaldo started his specialty, pendulum dribbling. Left, right, when he found that Maldini's center of gravity had shifted, he decisively broke through in the opposite direction.

Maldini tried his best to chase back, but he didn't dare to tackle the ball. Now the penalty for behind the tackle is very strict, unlike before 1998, he can only drag his heavy steps, desperately chasing, trying to squeeze Ronaldo with his body .

But Ronaldo's not-so-strong body possessed a surprisingly strong confrontation ability. He almost carried Maldini on his back and flew all the way to AC Milan's penalty area.

Dida decisively abandoned the goal to attack, but Ronaldo tipped his toe and passed the ball back.

Licado immediately jumped up!

"Ronaldo keeps dribbling, Vieri goal! At the last moment Ronaldo dribbles 40 meters, then selflessly passes to Vieri, Inter Milan score a precious goal! Now they have an away goal!"

"In the next game, Inter Milan will have Ricardo on the front line again, and Adriano is likely to return from injury. Inter Milan still has hope!"

Ricardo swung his fist vigorously. Yeah. Just one goal behind, just get it back in the next round. Inter Milan's road to the Champions League this season has not yet ended!
