Chapter 32 The Dream of a Genius

After Lazio equalized the score, it didn't take long to enter the intermission.

This made the people in Milan breathe a sigh of relief.

The half-time break saved their lives at this point, interrupting Lazio's rhythm.

If the game continues like this, it's really hard to say whether Lazio will continue to score.

Anyway, judging from the previous few minutes of the game, Lazio's offensive is very fierce.

There is quite a tendency of torrential rain pouring down.

If it continues like this, it is estimated that it will directly become a flood. Fortunately, the sky cleared up in time at this time...

※※※

In the locker room, Chang Sheng praised the team's performance, even though they conceded the ball first. However, after losing the ball again, he did not panic, but continued to play according to the original plan, and finally equalized the score.

This is commendable.

Chang Sheng also praised Ledesma's performance.

Although he allowed Ronaldinho to complete an assist in the first half.

But everyone can see that Ledesma's performance is gradually improving.

Or Ronaldinho's performance is declining.

Forty-five minutes into the game, Ronaldinho's body and heel indicators began to decline.

This never happened to him before.

In terms of tactics, Chang Sheng did not make any adjustments.

As long as it can drag Ronaldinho down, cut off the connection between Pirlo and Ronaldinho, and finally storm Abate.

※※※

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. Neither Milan nor Lazio made any adjustments.

Ledesma continued to stay close to Ronaldinho, and no matter how many times Ronaldinho threw him off, he would immediately follow up and ensure that he would never leave.

Gradually, Ronaldinho's breathing became thicker.

He felt tired.

In the last two seasons in Barcelona. Ronaldinho hardly ever trained well.

At that time, Rijkaard's Barcelona only trained with the ball, and the requirements for physical training were very low.

With Ronaldinho's privilege, it's okay to not need to practice at all. Someone once criticized Ronaldinho, but Rijkaard excused him: "Some people are geniuses. They don't need to be like ordinary people..."

I didn't practice my physical fitness very well in Barcelona for two seasons. Coupled with the rich nightlife in Barcelona, ​​​​almost hollowed out the body of this maestro.

this summer. Because of the transfer, he also missed the best time to reserve physical fitness.

His previous outstanding performance was entirely due to his extraordinary talent and experience.

So Chang Sheng is particularly emotional, with Ronaldinho's talent, if he is willing to be more professional. His achievements are definitely much higher than they are now. Maybe he still has hope to lead the Brazilian national team to defend the 2006 World Cup champion. In that case, he can definitely be crowned champion...

What a pity, what a pity...

Ronaldinho is a player that Chang Sheng likes very much. I used to be a fan. I was fascinated by his skills. I collected a lot of highlights of Ronaldinho’s football in my home computer. Watch those The collection can make Chang Sheng feel physically and mentally relaxed.

That's what good football does.

Because of this, Chang Sheng was particularly disappointed with Ronaldinho's subsequent self-deprecation.

This is a common problem with Brazilian players. Poverty allows them to play football desperately in order to get ahead. But poverty also makes it easy for them to lose their sense of purpose and direction after earning money.

I don't know why I have to play football hard after earning so much money, instead of enjoying the luxury life of fine wine and beautiful women brought to me by money.

Ronaldinho, Adriano, Robinho, Pato... Those talented Brazilian players couldn't escape this path in the end.

Of course, now is not the time to lament this.

For Chang Sheng today. He even wished Ronaldinho had been a little more depraved.

Because that will make you win better...

Finally, when Ronaldinho made a fake move, he did not deceive Ledesma, but instead let Ledesma destroy the football.

In fact, Ledesma didn't destroy it very far. As long as Ronaldinho turned around and took two more steps, he could regain control of the football under his feet.

After all, he has a technical advantage, and he still has no problem with the ball.

But Ronaldinho stood where he was, hands on hips, panting.

Although the game only lasted 60 minutes, he felt like he played for 120 minutes.

Ledesma's interference with him every step of the way did not break him too many balls, but accelerated his physical consumption. Because he had to work harder than usual to keep Ledes from stealing his ball.

Now the side effect of this harder effort is on the table.

Ronaldinho couldn't run anymore.

Ledesma, full of energy, went past him and grabbed the ball.

※※※

Chang Sheng saw this scene off the court and shook his head slightly.

Di Matteo noticed this detail.

He is an assistant coach of Lazio, but most of the time he is observing Changsheng.

So he could spot Chang Sheng's little trick in the first place.

He was puzzled. Ledesma performed very well, but Chang Sheng still shook his head. Was he dissatisfied?

So he asked Chang Sheng: "Are you not satisfied with Ledesma's performance, Chang?"

Chang Sheng shook his head again: "No, why do you say that?"

"I see you were shaking your head just now..."

"Oh, it's this... I'm just feeling sorry for Ronaldinho. You know what? When he was playing under me, the ball just now was poked away by the opponent, Ronaldi Neo will also turn around immediately, while blocking the opponent with his body to prevent the opponent from overtaking, he will use his technique and speed to recover the football, and then firmly control it under his feet. Once the football reaches his feet, others can foul if they want to grab it .But now...after conceding the ball, Ronaldinho stands with his hands on his hips. That's the difference..."

Chang Sheng pointed to the dejected Ronaldinho on the court and said.

"Obviously, he's tired now. But it's only sixty minutes into the game and he shouldn't be playing like this... Lack of motivation and clarity of purpose can destroy even the best player in the world. Not to mention Others..."

Chang Sheng said with emotion.

※※※

Ronaldinho is really tired.

In fact, he could still fight harder, but when he thought that it would be more tiring, he backed down.

Now he has won all the honors. He no longer needed to prove himself. Then why do you have to work so hard?

I just had to do a few chores on set. Playing a few oxtails, riding a bicycle and passing the ball without looking at people, the Milan fans in the stands can also give out huge cheers. Excited.

Then I get tons of accolades for being the most skilled player on the planet.

So why do I have to tire myself out so much? So embarrassed?

Anyway, even if I lose the game, it's my responsibility that I don't see it...

I already had a nice assist in this game and I think my job is done.

I play football for fun. Being so tired now makes me unhappy.

Then why do I keep playing like this?

If you are not happy, what is the point of winning the championship?

Ronaldinho kept hypnotizing himself in his heart.

Then he accepted the setting - I've worked hard and now I can start enjoying football.

If the football is under my feet, I will play it, and if it is not under my feet, I will watch a play.

Like a machine, Ronaldinho stopped and his movements were significantly reduced.

Nor will it actively participate in replays.

Most of the time he just stays in the frontcourt. stroll back and forth.

The reason he gave himself was that it would allow him to recover faster. Then when he has the ball at his feet, he can show his true self.

He is a player who needs the ball at his feet to perform, not a player who needs to run without the ball to prove himself.

At this time, he had completely forgotten what Chang Sheng had said to him back then.

You have to fit into the team. Ronaldinho. You can go to any team and play like that, but that's not why I paid 37 million euros for you to come to Valencia.

Now Ronaldinho is like a player who is outside the entire Milan system.

If he changes into black clothes, everyone will definitely think that he is the referee of the game... No, the referee runs more distance than him.

Modern football has become more and more dependent on running. Any team, no matter what tactics it is, needs excellent running. It's the same with the players, you have great running ability, even if you lack other aspects, you can be a good player and find your place in the team.

But if you don't run, no matter how talented you are, you will be able to use it.

This is a change in the general tactical environment, and your talent alone is very insignificant in this general environment.

Even teams that play defensively and counterattack require a lot of running and a lot of physical fitness.

Ronaldinho didn't come running.

His prospects in Milan will naturally not be very good.

It's just that Ronaldinho can't feel it now.

He is still living on his laurels, thinking that relying on his skills and inspiration, he can recharge to the top.

Just like he is now at Milan.

He feels he is on the way back to the top.

He enjoyed the cheers and praise from the fans and the media, and enjoyed Milan's victory.

Isn't this his peak?

But that's because he didn't meet the ever-victorious Lazio.

Now, in this game, Chang Sheng wants to smash all his fantasies, just like smashing a mirror, pull him back from fantasies to reality, let him open his eyes and take a good look.

What shit is he at his peak?

He is still rolling in the muddy pond!

It made mud all over her body, and she had an unpleasant smell all over her body, which was smelly and ugly.

This is the cruel reality-a player who has lost his aggressiveness, no matter how talented he is, will never be able to return to the top! (to be continued)
