C Ronaldo’s information

The journey of stardom

God favors those who are self-reliant

Like the two seniors Ronaldo (Ronaldo) and Ronaldinho (Ronaldinho), Xiao Luo was also born in a family that was not wealthy. Xiao Luo has two sisters and one brother. Ronaldo’s father influenced the young Ronaldinho towards football. The football he kicked in his backyard was his inseparable friend. “To be honest, I don’t know why I love it so much, but that’s just how I am. "Xiao Xiaoluo said this. But Funchal, which is not rich, does not have many suitable venues to play football. "I get happy very easily - at Christmas and on my birthday, the gift I want most is football. In those days, although we I didn't have any money, but if I could get a ball, I would be happy. I always wanted to get hand-sewn footballs because they lasted a long time. I had my own court, which was on the street. He was playing football, and sometimes skipped school to play football." He began to change his tricks and learned to never admit defeat. "The kids playing football on the street were all bigger than me, and I could only continue by passing them. "Going forward, of course they often pushed me down or tackled me. It was a mental challenge. You can't give in, you have to stand up and beat him with football." More than ten years later, now, in any part of the world. On the court, Ronaldo is still doing the same thing, being tackled by his opponents time and time again, getting up again and again to continue to break through.

Ronaldinho's outstanding performance soon attracted the attention of the local National Club, so Ronaldinho became a slightly famous star of the National Team. Mendonca, the team coach at the time, recalled: "Ronaldo is the most outstanding young player I have ever seen. I can't even believe his skills. At that time, we often beat our opponents by 9 or 10 goals, and Ronaldo could often take care of half of them." "In 1998, the Portuguese powerhouse Sporting Lisbon was also impressed by Ronaldo's talent, and they introduced Ronaldo, who was only 13 years old, at a low price of 1,500 pounds. Perhaps Sporting Lisbon did not expect that five years later, Ronaldinho's worth would have increased nearly 1,000 times.

In the first few months after joining the Sporting Lisbon youth team, Ronaldinho's Madeira rural accent became the laughing stock of his peers in the capital. For this reason, he had a strong self-esteem and once felt inferior to others and imitated him more than once. He was speaking to a junior teammate who was in conflict. Xiao Luo said: "I have a strong accent because I come from a small island and am different from other children. Looking back, that was also good. It taught me how to support myself. I learned to be independent at a very young age." To make matters worse, Ronaldinho was almost kicked out of the team because he grew too fast because the coach thought he was too clumsy.

At Sporting Lisbon’s Alcochete training camp, the “football dream factory” that has trained football geniuses such as Figo, Ronaldinho received five years of rigorous and scientific training and worked tirelessly to With his hard work, Xiao Luo began to gradually become a leader among his peers. Aurelio Pereira, Portugal's respected veteran coach who brought Ronaldinho from Madeira to Lisbon, said: "From the time he was 11 years old I thought this was a player who could become a future player. A superstar player, Ronaldo has shown all the potential to become a superstar since he was a child. What he has achieved today does not surprise me. I don't think I have the magic ability to discover and create talents, but experience tells me that he will become a superstar...Every When I watch him play, it’s like watching a kid from Sporting Lisbon’s academy playing football.”

Ronaldo is the first player in Sporting Lisbon’s history to enter the club at the same time in the same season. Players from U16 (under-16 team), U17, U18, second team and first team became the only players in the club's history to participate in five different levels of competition in one season. In September 2002, he scored two goals in his Portuguese Super League debut, and three goals in 25 games in a season was good enough for a 17-year-old.

Inheriting the legend of No. 7

The young Ronaldinho quickly attracted attention from Europe. Queiroz, a Portuguese Manchester United assistant coach who briefly coached La Liga giants Real Madrid, later recalled: "I was observing Cristiano. Every time we discussed whether to sign him or Quaresma, I would emphasize my opinion. We Without the ability to sign two people, I believe in Cristiano.

When I left Manchester United to coach Real Madrid in the summer of 2003, I listed him as my top target. He was the first on the transfer list I submitted to Real Madrid's sporting director Valdano. But now it seems that we are lucky that he has joined Manchester United. "

On August 6, 2003, to commemorate the official opening of the new stadium rebuilt for the 2004 European Football Championship, Sporting Lisbon played against Manchester United in the new stadium named "Alvalade-21" The team held a friendly match. Ronaldinho's outstanding performance helped Sporting Lisbon defeat Manchester United 3:1. He left a deep impression on the Manchester United players at the time, and they recommended Ferguson to sign this talented player. "No performed very well and all doubts were dispelled," Queiroz said. "Alex (Ferguson) had to make a quick decision after the Lisbon game. Otherwise Valdano and I would have gotten him. ”

On August 8, 2003, Manchester United announced that it had signed a five-year contract with Cristiano Ronaldo for a transfer fee of 12.24 million pounds. Ronaldinho became the first Portuguese player in the history of Manchester United. He The transfer fee also broke the 8.5 million pound transfer record for young Premier League players held by another Portuguese Viana a year ago.

"Cristiano? He's so good, I think for a Premier League defender, his skills are too luxurious. Figo's comments calmed doubts about Ronaldinho's worth of 12.24 million pounds. Portuguese legend Eusebio was full of praise for him: "As a player, he can do whatever he wants, and sometimes his skills in controlling the ball make me shoot I pat my head, but I still don’t understand how he did it. "Eusebio even described a brilliant future for Ronaldinho: "He is not just a football player, he will become one of the symbols of football. No matter which league he plays for or which team he plays for, he will make the most important contribution. ”

Legendary superstar George Best is Manchester United’s No. 7. During his 17 years in charge, Ferguson used this jersey as a symbol of the club’s top stars-Bryan Robson, Cantona. , Beckham. Now, whether Ronaldinho can continue this legend is exciting. Ronaldinho said: "After I joined, the coach asked me which number I wanted, and I said No. 28, but Ferguson said, 'No.' You will get number 7’. This famous jersey gave me extra motivation and I had to work hard to live up to this number. ”

Before the match against Bolton Wanderers on August 16, 2003, most comments about Cristiano Ronaldo were in Portuguese, but after those 29 minutes, English dominated Ferguson, who has always been harsh, did not hide his praise for the Portuguese: "He seems to be a new hero in the hearts of the fans. I have to use him carefully, because you have to understand that he is only 18 years old now. I have to." Watch and protect him carefully. "In the 2003-04 season, Ronaldinho played 39 times in all competitions, and scored the first goal in the FA Cup final against Millwall, setting the pace for Manchester United to win the cup. At the end of the season, Ronaldinho was voted the best player by Manchester United fans. Club's "Sir Busby Best Player Award"

Although he encountered a lot of resistance at the beginning - his fancy style of play has always had mixed reviews, but Ronaldo has been in Ferguson. He gradually grew up under his careful training. In 2004 and 2006, he helped Manchester United win the FA Cup twice. In the 2005-06 season, he won the League Cup. In 2006, he was selected as the best team in the Premier League and won the International Professional Players Association. Best newcomer, elected Portuguese Sports Personality of the Year, Manchester United’s new No. 7 is on the way

“The pitch is where his feet have the final say. Football allowed him to leave behind a chaotic and hostile environment, forgetting about the cold weather in Manchester and the poor food in Britain. ”

Ronaldinho’s real breakthrough came after the World Cup in Germany. Because of Rooney’s red card incident in the 2006 World Cup, he once thought about leaving Old Trafford and going to Spain, but after Red Devils coach Fernando Due to Sir Alex Ferguson's efforts, he chose to stay at Manchester United. Later facts proved how right he was to stay.

In the 2006-07 season, the Portuguese No. 1 Red Devil completed a shocking transformation and led Manchester United. Won the Premier League title for the first time in four years. He scored 23 goals in all competitions, including 17 goals in the Premier League. He ranked second only to Chelsea's forward Drogba and Blackburn's forward McCarthy in the scorer list. midfielder.

This season, he won 13 awards in a row, including the Player of the Year selected by Premier League players, Professional Journalists Association, and fans, and the Best Newcomer selected by Premier League players, which was a record Grand Slam. This season can be called Cristiano's perfect season, and the background of all this cannot be ignored: less than 12 months ago, due to the World Cup crisis, Ronaldo was still the public enemy of all England. Everywhere outside, he was greeted with the unanimous boos of tens of thousands of people. Ronaldo said: "After the incident with Wayne (Rooney) at the World Cup, every time I went away to play I was booed. There were some particularly difficult moments and I think it was unfair. But you have to ignore it or you can't concentrate. The first few weeks, I would say to myself before every game: 'Don't worry about it, just play your way!' The boos change your game and a lot of players get lost in it, but that's fine. On the contrary, I think these boos are good for me, they can make me calmer, and I regard them as a kind of salute, which is very important to me at least. "Not only does he have excellent skills, he also has a brave heart. Heart. "This is the sign of a great player." His head coach Ferguson commented. After the 2006-07 season, Manchester United announced a contract extension with Ronaldinho until 2012, with a weekly salary of 120,000 pounds.

The qualitative change in one season has brought surprises. In the 2007-08 season of defending the championship, people originally only expected Ronaldo to continue his performance from the previous season, but he ushered in a volcanic eruption. In the 29th round rematch of the Premier League against Bolton on March 19, 2008, Ronaldo, who wore the Manchester United captain's armband for the first time, scored twice, breaking the 40-year-old Best record in 1967-68. A single-season scoring record for a winger with 32 goals.

As for Cristiano Ronaldo, Best said this: "There are many players who are called 'New Best', but this is the first time that I feel that this call is for me. Compliment. "Sir Alex Ferguson will never bet on goals scored in a single season with Ronaldinho again. In a certain respect, he has surpassed Best, the god in the eyes of Manchester United fans. Heisbetterthan"Best". Nothing can stop this genius. 42 goals in a single season is the data of a top center. As a winger, Ronaldinho has already done it. More importantly, he has a variety of scoring methods, from continuous breakthrough shots to long-distance volley shots; single shots, grabbing points, fixed-point penalty kicks or free kicks - one cannot but mention Cristiano Ronaldo's Free kick, how did he do it? The ball dropped rapidly after bypassing the wall, and with a little horizontal rotation, the opponent's goalkeeper had nothing to do - he was already familiar with such difficult free kicks. Regarding Ronaldo's free kick skills, Ferguson explained with a smile, "There is no secret, the important thing is practice. Practice makes perfect, just like what I learned in school. This kid practices the most diligently every day, and that's what he does The reason why it's so good. At this point, we'll go have a cup of tea and let him practice. He's always practicing, and he'll play for 20 or 25 minutes after training, and he'll be there, behind a bunch of balls. There is a wall in front of him, bang, bang, bang, bang... He kicks about 30 times every time, so..."

He can use speed to pass people, use fake moves to pass people, and can header the ball He can score goals, he can shoot penalties and free kicks, he can grab points, he can make up shots and he can shoot long range shots, he can score goals with his backheel and he can assist with his heel, he can score a hat trick and he can assist a hat trick. In terms of comprehensiveness, England's famous coach Venables commented on Ronaldo: "He has speed, strength, physical fitness, technology, consciousness, courage. He is not only physically strong, but also mentally strong." Manchester United's Premier League rival Arsenal The head coach Wenger is very aware of Ronaldo's ability. He abandoned the cliché of "one of the best in the world" and directly placed the crown of No. 1 on Ronaldo's head. He said this: "Cristiano is the best player in the world right now." The best football player on the planet because he perfectly combines the two most difficult things in professional football - style and efficiency. I admire his efficiency in scoring goals. He plays as a wide player, but he But you can't deny that you can score so many goals."

Little Ronaldinho said: "People often say that I need to perform better in major games. I respect this opinion, but I don't think so. I don’t think I need to prove myself to anyone. I am very satisfied with my current progress and I am very happy that I am still improving.

I'm a better player than I was a year ago, definitely a lot better than when I first came to Manchester United. I hope this momentum continues. "Is it arrogant? Of course, just like his hilarious celebrations after scoring a goal. But there is nothing surprising for such a shooter to say some arrogant words. Henry said of Ronaldo, he said: "This year is Cristiano. · Ronald for many years. He will be the World Footballer of the Year. No one can compare with him. The way he plays now is a mockery of his competitors. I respect him from the bottom of my heart, especially after seeing the way he came back from the World Cup. Everyone in England was ready to kill him and just wanted him to fail, but he didn't do that. ”
