Chapter 90: Heaven is jealous of talents

Chapter 90: Heaven is jealous of talents

With a scream on the San Siro stadium, Ronaldo fell down again. Since joining the Rossoneri for more than a year, Ronaldo has experienced many ups and downs.

Ronaldo's experience in AC Milan has been very tortuous from the very beginning, and that process can be called the most repeated transfer in the history of professional football and the most extensive media influence.

One year before he officially came to Milan from Madrid at a price of 7.5 million euros on January 30, 2007, AC Milan vice-chairman Galliani spent almost a whole summer chasing him. Real Madrid has always insisted that the price of 25 million euros will not be relaxed, and Galliani has repeatedly returned from Madrid without success.

When the "alien" officially put on the red and black striped shirt, various rumors about the transfer gradually spread. For example, Berlusconi called the then Real Madrid coach Fabio Capello, and the latter was likely to persuade him not to bring in a star whose career was going downhill.

There is also a phone call that Ronaldo never made to Moratti. The latter may be able to bear the "alien" who was so beloved at the time to do anything except one thing: join AC Milan.

Moratti's idea is reasonable. In 2000, Inter Milan waited and helped the seriously injured Ronaldo to return to the field, but the latter wanted to join the Lanhei's city rival?

But after a few weeks, such rumors also faded away, because Ronaldo started scoring in Serie A again.

AC Milan is happy for the arrival of the "alien". The teammates watched his familiar but hard-to-imitate movements on the training ground at close range.

The expert group set up by the Milan laboratory for the prevention of player injuries also asserted that Ronaldo is still a phenomenon-level player, and even the various ridicules and criticisms made by the Spanish media before his body was overweight were groundless. The Spanish media nicknamed him "gordo".

Alien demeanor on the court can be traced, 14 appearances and 7 goals in half a season, including the goal of breaking the goal of Inter Milan in the Milan derby. The data and achievements have completely silenced many rumors and doubts.

But the shadow of injury began to appear, and the knee muscle pain, although not serious enough to make people believe that Ronaldo will never fully return to the past.

In the summer of 2007, Ronaldo and AC Milan reached a series of friendly agreements and promises about the future, but injuries caused some friction and cracks between him and this club that gave him hope.

AC Milan did not try their best to block criticism of Ronaldo's lifestyle, such as his love of food and beauty, so such claims are widely spread.

While the alien tried to use his performance on the court to attack and respond to such messages, on the other hand, he also made his own remarks. He publicly expressed his distrust of AC Milan's long-established Milan laboratory, and expressed his distrust of the "too heavy Physical training" was skeptical.

On July 31 last year, after Ronnie's public training session at San Siro, he strained his left thigh due to an unusual kick with a big foot. After more than half a year, Ronnie, who was resting and recuperating most of the time, could hardly Frustrated, the Milan laboratory admitted that it had misdiagnosed Ronnie's injury, leading to an escalation of suspicion between him and the Milan team doctors.

Ronaldo pinned all his hopes on the Brazilian national team doctor Lunke, and he did get a lot from the treatment of Lunke around Christmas.

After the return of AC Milan's trip to Dubai during the winter break, Ronaldo's two goals against Naples rekindled the fans' expectations for "alien". Although Pato made his debut in AC Milan and scored in that game, but Even Berlusconi also said that the real phenomenal player is still Ronaldo, who helped AC Milan win the first league home victory of the new season.

But then Ronaldo began to enter the days of alternating muscle problems and downturns. I don't know if it was because of the number "13" that Westerners hate. In the game against Livorno, the game started only 13 minutes ago. Dong suddenly fell to the ground and ruptured the patellar tendon in his left knee, the same as his right knee eight years ago. This time people are really worried that it is no longer his relationship with AC Milan that will be tested, but the whole of "Alien" career.

As in 2000, Ronaldo also injured his knee this time and also needed surgery. The difference is that eight years ago, his right knee was replaced by the current left knee.

However, even if the operation is as successful as it was eight years ago, Ronaldo's knee injury recovery process will definitely be very different. At present, even the most optimistic estimates believe that it will take at least ten months to a year for him to return to the game. time.

Compared with eight years ago, Ronaldo is no longer the original "alien". His situation has changed, he has gained weight, and he has not returned to the status of the favored child that everyone favored. These will affect his mood when he recovers from his knee injury.

For a person recovering from injuries, the mood may be more important than surgery and drugs or even other treatments. This injury, Ronaldo was 31 years old, but he was only 24 years old when he was injured in 2000. With the increase of age, Ronaldo's status in international football has also undergone tremendous changes.

Before 2000, Ronaldo won the World Footballer of the Year in 1996 and 1997. In 1998, despite the poor performance of the Brazilian team in the World Cup final in France, he still won the second place in the World Footballer of the Year.

And now, Ronaldo's glorious era seems to have come to an end. He has been out of the top ten in the World Footballer selection for three consecutive years. The last time he was elected for this award was in 2002 when Korea and Japan won the World Cup.

In 2000, the young Ronaldo had unlimited prospects if he recovered from his injury. Both the Inter Milan club and the Brazil team hoped that he could recover from his injury as soon as possible.

When he was in Inter Milan, Moratti regarded Ronaldo as his own son. Now in AC Milan, Ronaldo and Berlusconi are definitely not so close.

At that time, the Brazilian Football Association Chairman Teixeira was a staunch supporter of Ronaldo. The reason why Ronaldo made a brilliant return in the Korea-Japan World Cup was also because of the Brazilian Football Association and coach Scolari who withstood the huge pressure and did not use the "lone wolf" Romario, Only trust Ronaldo about it.

Now the relationship between Ronaldo and Teixeira is not as good as before. Teixeira said that Fat Ronaldo was one of the culprits of Brazil's fiasco in the 2006 World Cup, while Ronaldo publicly refuted that Brazil is not Teixeira's team alone.

Weight will also affect Ronaldo's knee recovery. In 2000, Ronaldo was only 83 kilograms, but at that time many people believed that his excessive muscles were the main reason why his knees were prone to injuries.

Now, even if you believe the figures announced by AC Milan's official website, Fei Luo's weight is at least 90 kilograms.

When he was injured in 2000, Ronaldo was the absolute main force in the Brazil team. The Brazil team can be said to be Ronaldo plus 10 other players.

Now, since the 2006 World Cup, Ronaldo has not been called up to the national team for more than a year.

It is not the first time that Ronaldo has fallen on the court. His career is an alternation of injuries, downturns and achievements. Almost every time before that he found the strength to get back up.

This time, will the 31-year-old be able to return to the court?

It's still a question mark.

The career of "Alien" is the envy of his peers. Football has given him a lot, and it has also made him taste the bitterness of injuries many times. When he arrived in Europe at the beginning of the year and was still playing for PSV Eindhoven, he felt the trouble caused by the knee, which is an extremely sensitive part for professional players. Multiple detailed examinations identified the problem as a tibial condyle, and he had to take a medically ordered suspension.

On the eve of the 1998 World Cup final, Ronaldo's sudden discomfort, and barely playing the full 90 minutes and losing the championship is still puzzling.

But the alien's injury nightmare is still to come. In Serie A, on November 21, 1999, in the home match between Inter Milan and Lecce, he suddenly He fell to the ground in pain. Tests revealed a partial torn patellar tendon in his right knee, and he underwent immediate surgery and was out for six months.

On April 12, 2000, in the Italian Cup final against Lazio, Ronaldo returned. But not long after he came off the bench, his fragile right knee was vulnerable and he was carried away in tears. This time the patellar tendon is completely ruptured, another operation, and the expected recovery period of at least a year are all worrying that his career will stop here.

At the end of 2001, after nearly two years of long waiting, countless doctors, hospitals, stretchers, and hospital beds, Ronaldo, who worked hard, returned to the court and returned to Inter Milan led by Cooper at the time.

Just when people rejoiced for the return of the aliens and looked forward to sharing the fruits of victory with them, the famous black May 5th in 2002 added a bitter tone to his career. The league champion flew away.

After suffering from injuries and missing the league title, the 2002 World Cup marked Ronaldo's true return. He became the World Cup's top scorer with 7 goals.

After lifting the World Cup with his teammates in Japan, Ronaldo bid farewell to Inter Milan, the club that had witnessed countless classics and wonderful moments on the field, and went to Real Madrid.

He also failed to escape the claws of injuries in Spain. In the Champions League against Juventus in May 2003, he suffered a fibrous rupture in his left calf.

In 2004, muscle pain in the left thigh struck from time to time.

The October 2005 Madrid derby resulted in partial damage to his left ankle tissue.

On July 31, 2007, Ronaldo, who has been transferred to AC Milan, participated in an open training match with thousands of fans in San Siro to celebrate the start of the new season. One minute before the end of the training session, he used his left foot to make a kick-off. After the action, he immediately fell to the ground. His teammates Kaka and Serginho thought he was joking at first.

Such a seemingly absurd injury, diagnosed as a strained left thigh flexor, was enough to ruin the first half of his 2007/08 season.

Ronaldo was supposed to come off the bench against Benfica in the Champions League at the end of last year, only to suffer a calf injury during the warm-up. Then came the serious left knee injury this time. During the two Milan teams, the patellar tendons on the left and right knees ruptured successively. Whether Ronaldo can recover will require unimaginable patience and strength.

God is jealous of talents.

Compared with the childhood sufferings of Kaka, Pato and others, compared with Ronaldo's repeated serious injuries as an adult, there is a world of difference.

Everyone is asking, what happened to Ronaldo?

Can he still stand up?

Will the alien, who will be 32 years old this year, be completely crushed by this serious injury and bid farewell to football?

People dare not think that if all that happened, it would be a tragedy for the football world.

After the game, no one cared about AC Milan's victory, and no one went after Pato's goal. At this moment, people only cared about Ronaldo's injury.

Ronaldo's sad, terrified, and desperate expression and shouts could not disappear in front of the audience, since he was in pain and covered his face with his hands. What kind of mood was he covering with his hands?

After the game, Livorno goalkeeper Amelia said: "I really heard the sound of his bones breaking."

Ronaldo's injury is sad, but also helpless. His left knee twisted when he was fighting for the high-altitude ball. Gallant in front of him and Vidigal behind him didn't foul him. It was another cruel "self-mutilation" ".

Counting the major injuries in Alien's career, the opponent's violence is very small. The first two serious injuries in Inter Milan were all caused by himself. At the beginning of this season, he also injured his leg when shooting in training. Get hurt before going out. His physical fragility, the huge psychological shadow left by repeated injuries, and his innate talent control him.

It seems that the city of Milan has become Ronaldo's sad place and a kind of restricted area. The left and right knees have exactly the same injuries, and they came separately when they played for the Milan duo. Playing in the Netherlands and Spain, there were constant minor injuries, but he could rest for a month at most.

He lost the league championship at Inter Milan and went to Spain to make up for it. After joining Milan, Ronaldo once said that he only lacked the Champions League in his career, and he finally waited for the opportunity but suffered this catastrophe.

Last time, he made a strong comeback after resting for a year and a half, but that was more than eight years ago. Can Ronnie, who is just over the age, survive this time?

Ronaldo's injury has worried the entire football world. This injury may indeed endanger his career, but everyone hopes that he can persevere.

Galliani, vice-chairman of the AC Milan club, said: "Before Ronaldo joined AC Milan, I told him that when you come here, you will feel love and attention. Today, I will still say the same thing. Everything that happened today has proved over that."

For the future, Galliani is reluctant to talk too much now, and the top priority is Ronaldo's surgery. He said: "I will not say anything until I talk to the team doctor about it. We will wait for the results of the surgery. I don't know yet." Knowing how long Ronaldo will be out is a disaster and we have to treat it in the best possible way, none of us want yesterday to be the last picture of Ronaldo's career, he is the best Brazilian player since Pele."

Berlusconi, chairman of the AC Milan club, said: "I just talked to him on the phone. I told him that I brought him in because I trusted him. Today he will undergo surgery. He is still young at the age of 31. I believe that in a few months he will Still able to come back and be the world champion we knew."

Real Madrid President Calderon also said: "On behalf of the Real Madrid club, I send Ronaldo the best wishes. I still remember the happy times when I was with Ronaldo. He is now in a dark moment. I want to give him the best wishes on behalf of the whole team." A hug."

Even the chairman of Inter Milan, Moratti, is praying for Ronaldo: "I hope Ronaldo can get well soon, although his career has been threatened like it was in 2000, he has a strong physique and excellent mental quality, Coupled with the doctor's understanding of him and his experience with such injuries, he should be able to get out of the shadows this time."

Degan also said in an interview: "Ronaldo is a very good player. He is the darling of an era. I admire him very much. When he was in Atlanta, he often watched TV to imitate his playing style. I am very sorry for his injury, I can understand his current mood, I also experienced two serious injuries at the time, I hope he can come out of the shadow of injury and return to the football field."

Ronaldo in pain has received everyone's blessings. After Ronaldo was injured in 2000, he finally came back after two years of suffering and won the World Cup. Now, people expect another miracle to appear, at least not to let Ronaldo suffer from a tragic farewell in injury.

The war is approaching, but AC Milan has lost an important member at this time. Now Ancelotti can only rely on Pato and Gilardino on the front line, or simply, Pato support.

An incomplete lineup, coupled with a tired Pato, such AC Milan went to the Flacchi Stadium to challenge the mighty Fiorentina. Even though the media still stubbornly expressed that they expected to see Pato beat Digan, but for The prospect of AC Milan, in fact, they are not optimistic.

AC Milan has been chasing points recently, and they are only seven points away from Juventus, the fourth in the league. However, if their confidence is hit at the Frakki Stadium, what will happen next? But it is hard to predict.

Don't forget, after this game is over, next Wednesday, they will go to Portugal to play a key battle with Benfica about qualifying for the Champions League group.

It can be said that these two games will be related to the success or failure of AC Milan throughout the season.
