Chapter 127

Perhaps because they had reached a clear consensus on a very important matter, both of them were in a good mood and temporarily extended the meeting.

On New Year's Eve, Cristiano made excuses that he didn't have time, so he didn't go back to Portugal, and persuaded his parents, siblings, who planned to come to the UK to spend the New Year with him, to stay in Portugal to meet friends and so on. A chance to celebrate New Years - even though he had intended to spend the holidays with his family.

Hugo and Katia muttered for a while, and they both thought that Cristiano's actions were very unusual, but after discussing for a while, they didn't come to any meaningful conclusions.

However, back in Manchester, Cristiano and Leo, two people who can’t cook, just ordered a table of takeaway, then moved into the living room, and then watched the Barcelona-Ukraine game on December 12th on TV while eating. Dines' Champions League group match-Leo didn't give Cristiano this video before, and he wanted to bring it to watch with him during Christmas.

Leo wanted to see Ronaldo's most realistic reaction to his performance and certain events.

Even if Cristiano has a script in his hand and knows that Barcelona will win the championship this year, he is not detailed enough to remember the results of every game of Barcelona.Judging from the sporadic game clips in the news reports that Cristiano has read, Rio performed well in this game, and Barcelona wasted several excellent opportunities.

The game started at the feet of Barcelona.

At the beginning, Puyol took the ball first, from the backcourt to the midfield, leading one by one - Cristiano looked at the time bar in the upper right corner and yawned.

Leo glared at him disapprovingly.

The whole world says that Barcelona plays good football, but Cristiano doesn't like it. He always feels drowsy watching Barcelona games-this is not a matter of position, absolutely not, he just hates taking things slowly and prefers to cut messes quickly.

The ball arrived at Deco's feet. In front of Deco's eyes were two defenders blocking the forward line. Deco had no time to take the ball in order to get the ball out before they stepped forward. He had to turn around and give the ball to Puyo. you.

After Puyol got the ball, he moved to the wing, and the ball was directly given to the retreating Leo.

——"Are you still going to retreat?" Cristiano asked vaguely while eating the purple cabbage in the salad.

Leo glanced at him, "Tactical requirements."

Leo certainly wasn't just tactically demanding -- he was no longer a kid and knew how to learn from the experiences of others.So after experiencing the unhappiness between Ronaldinho and Puyols, Leo also made himself some changes.

But this involves too many internal affairs of Barcelona, ​​​​he shouldn't tell Ronaldo.

At this time, Leo, who had turned his back to the attacking direction to catch the ball on TV, turned around after getting the ball, got rid of a defender, and at the same time pierced the ball through another defender's wicket, and then received his own pass. After breaking through two steps with the ball, he passed it straight to Ronaldinho who was at the top.

——"Ronaldinho is very beautiful on a bicycle, you should learn from him. But his next shot was not very good, it was too straight, and the goalkeeper jumped." Leo glanced at the screen and knew what was going on At that point, I lowered my head to pick corn kernels to eat, without worrying that I would miss any wonderful scenes.

Cristiano's face was spoiled, and he looked at the other party speechlessly, wishing to press his face directly into the salad bowl.

The only thing holding him back is that he doesn't want to ruin a good salad.

But as Mr. Messi said, Ronaldinho's ball was indeed too straight, and the goalkeeper had no pressure.

The ball goes to Udinese.

Udinese is not a strong team, so the best way for them to deal with Barcelona's grinding pass control method is to open their feet.

There are two skins in the frontcourt and the backcourt, and the midfielder is useless, unable to hold the ball and control the rhythm-this is often the case when there is a big difference between strength and weakness.Cristiano doesn't blame Udinese at all, and to be honest, several main players of Barcelona at the peak of "the year" are in the formation at this time. Although they are still young, their personal abilities are beyond doubt.

A big foot drove to the half of Barcelona. Cristiano found that almost the whole team had recovered. Even Mr. Ronaldinho, who usually wobbled, expressed the attitude of "I want to defend" and swayed back to his own side. At halftime, I meant to run the defensive position.

Although it is not very useful, it can be regarded as a very obvious improvement.

Cristiano looked at Leo who was still picking corn beside him in surprise, "Is this why you let me watch this game?"

Leo glanced at the TV and nodded.

"That's good. Although I don't like Barcelona very much, it's really great to let Ronaldinho do something acceptable to Puyols-have you persuaded him?" Cristiano blinked, Obviously did not expect Messi to be such a convincing person.

Of course he would think it was Messi's credit, otherwise he didn't understand why Messi asked him to watch this game.

But Leo shook his head and continued grinding his teeth with corn kernels.

"What do you mean?" Cristiano was a little confused.

"Actually I said the wrong thing, I said at the time that I thought Ronaldinho could not defend, but just do what he does best." Leo said slowly.

"So why didn't they kill you?" Cristiano asked very directly-could they know that you will win a room full of Golden Globes in the future?

No, then they should beat you to death, such as Harvey, Iniesta... Cristiano has never said it, but he has always believed that these two people have this ability.

"Xavi stopped them, otherwise I thought I would be beaten to death." Leo's tone seemed to be talking about other people's business, "But anyway, they managed to talk to Ronaldinho later. , I think it seems to have some effect."

"Congratulations?" Cristiano still didn't know why Messi took the initiative to bring this up.

At this time, the TV just broadcasted a pass and reception of Udinese's attack in the frontcourt-there was no chance in the penalty area, and Udinese's striker returned the ball to his teammates in the midfield.But at this time, Leo and Ronaldinho actually discovered the intention of passing the ball at the same time, and intercepted the channel one after the other.

Ronaldinho steals the ball.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the camera showed Puyol who was turning from defense to offense at the same time-Cristiano clearly noticed that Puyol showed a rare smile.

Cristiano snorted the lemon juice delivered by the takeaway and sprayed it out of his nose, expressing his disdain.

Leo glanced at him, "Be a little patient, you haven't seen the point yet."

Cristiano rolled his eyes, but said nothing.

Ronaldinho breaks through with the ball, and his speed is one of his advantages, so it is not a dereliction of duty for a defender not to be able to catch up with him when the starting reaction is slower than him.

But Ronaldinho was off the job.

He did get the ball into the box with his quickness and at the same time Ronaldinho shot when the other full-back came in from the other wing and went into the box to make an interception.

It was an impeccable decision, and Cristiano personally sees it that way.

But considering that the defender was at least one step away from Ronaldinho at the moment of shooting, Cristiano personally does not think this is the reason for his weak shooting.

Ronaldinho's shot was not strong enough for unknown reasons and the goalkeeper got the ball again.

— Leo turned his head to look at Cristiano, but didn't speak.

Cristiano watched TV thoughtfully.

"I know what you're trying to say - but it's not because of defense. For God's sake, Ronaldinho is a pro, even if he loves to play and hang out in clubs. Before reaching halfway, he exhausted his energy due to a defense, which prevented him from scoring after halftime. This is too outrageous." Cristiano said, "What's more, his defense was posing at all, and he didn't make any real effort. "

Leo shook his head.

"I can steal the ball by myself. If he stays near the center line, I can drive the ball farther. He doesn't need to run across the half court with the ball. And it's not so easy for the opposing defender to catch up with him-after all, he If you don’t carry the ball, you’ll run faster. If that’s the case, I guess the ball will be easier to score.” Leo insisted, “What’s more, if you take the ball from the midfield to the goal, it’s easy to end up with weak shots. "

"In short, it's enough for a man to do one thing, and I don't understand why they insist on him doing everything."

Cristiano looked at Leo speechlessly. He looked pretty good before, and he wasn't a person who didn't listen to persuasion. Why was he so awkward in this matter?Is it true that the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change?

"I told Andres the idea, but Andres looked terrified, and he told me never to say that again." Leo looked a little lost.

——Telling this kind of thinking to others can be regarded as a very stupid way, but telling this to Iniesta is a blessing in misfortune.

Cristiano didn't like Iniesta very much, but he never hated him.

This time, he evaluated Iniesta objectively.

"He treats you very well, you should listen to him," Cristiano said. "Iniesta is a good man."
