Chapter 90 Heaven is Jealous of Talent
With a scream at San Siro Stadium, Ronaldo fell again. Since joining the Rossonerius for more than a year, Ronaldo has experienced many ups and downs.
Ronaldo's experience in AC Milan has been very tortuous since he joined. That process can be regarded as the most repeated and media-influenced transfer in the history of professional football.
A year before he officially came to Milan from Madrid for 7.5 million euros on January 30, 2007, AC Milan vice president Galliani spent almost a whole summer looking for him. Real Madrid has always insisted that the price of 25 million euros will not relax, and Galliani has returned from Madrid many times without success.
When the "alien" officially put on the red and black stripe, some rumors about the transfer gradually spread. For example, Berlusconi called Capello, the then Real Madrid coach, who is likely to persuade him not to introduce a career star.
And Ronaldo has never made a phone call to Moratti, who may be able to stand the spoiled "alien" to do anything, except one thing: joining AC Milan.
Moratti's idea is reasonable. In 2000, Inter Milan waited and helped the seriously injured Ronaldo return to the stadium, but the latter wanted to join the rival of the Lanhei Legion?
But a few weeks later, such rumors gradually disappeared, as Ronaldo began to score goals in Serie A.
AC Milan was happy for the arrival of "aliens", and his teammates watched his familiar but difficult movements on the training ground.
The expert group set up by the Milan laboratory to prevent injuries also asserted that Ronaldo was still a phenomenal player, and even the Spanish media's previous sarcasm and criticism of his overweight body were groundless. At that time, the world was quoting the Spanish media as "Gordo" for him. Nickname.
The demeanor of the aliens on the court can be followed, with 14 appearances and 7 goals in half a season, including a goal that broke through the door of Inter Milan in the Milan derby. The data and results have made many rumors and doubts completely shut.
But the shadow of the injury began to appear, and the knee muscle pain, although it was not terrible, was enough to believe that Ronaldo could not completely return to his former state.
In the summer of 2007, Ronaldo reached a series of friendly agreements and promises with AC Milan about the future, but his injuries also began to create some frictions and rifts between him and the club that gave him hope.
AC Milan did not try its best to stop criticism of Ronaldo's lifestyle. For example, he has always loved food and beauty, so such claims are widely spread.
While trying to respond to such messages with their performance on the field, the aliens also made his own remarks. He publicly distrusted AC Milan's prestigious Milan laboratory and was skeptical of "too heavy physical training".
On July 31 last year, after Ronnie's open training class in San Siro, he pulled his left thigh because of an ordinary big foot kick-off. Immediately after more than half a year, Ronnie, who had been in a state of rest and recuperation for most of the time, was frustrated. Milan laboratory admitted that there was a mistake in the diagnosis of Ronnie's injury, resulting in The suspicion between him and the Milan team doctors escalated.
Ronaldo pinned all his hopes on the Brazilian national team doctor Lunco, who did get a lot from the conditioning of Dr. Lun before and after Christmas.
After returning from AC Milan's trip to Dubai during the winter break, Ronaldo's two goals against Naples rekindled fans' expectations of "alien". Although Pato made his first appearance in AC Milan and scored goals in that game, even Berlusconi said that the real phenomenal player is still Ronaldo. He Help AC Milan win their first home victory in the new season.
But after that, Ronaldo began to enter the days of alternating muscle problems and sluggishness. I don't know if it was because of the number "13" that Westerners hated. In the game against Livorno, only 13 minutes before the game began, Ronaldo suddenly fell to the ground, and his left knee patella tendon ruptured, and eight years ago, the right Like the knees, this time people are really worried that what will be tested is no longer his relationship with AC Milan, but the whole career of "alien".
Like in 2000, Ronaldo also suffered a knee injury 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 eight years ago, Ronaldo's recovery process from knee injury will certainly be very different. At present, even the most optimistic estimate believes that it will take him at least ten months to a year to return to the field.
Compared with eight years ago, Ronaldo is no longer the original "alien". His situation has changed, his weight has increased, and he is no longer the original favorite proud son, which will affect his mood when he recovers from his knee injury.
For a person who recovers from an injury, the mood may be more important than surgery, drugs and even other treatments. 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 position in international football has also changed dramatically.
Before 2000, Ronaldo won the World Footballer of the Year in 1996 and 1997. In 1998, although Brazil lost its level in the French World Cup final, he still won the second place in the World Footballer's selection that year.
Now, Ronaldo's glorious era seems to have come to an end. He has fallen out of the top ten in the World Footballers of the Year selection for three consecutive years. The last time he won the award was 2002 when he won the World Cup in Korea and Japan.
In 2000, if the young Ronaldo healed his injury and had an infinite future, both the Inter Milan club and the Brazilian team expected him to recover as soon as possible.
When he was in Inter Milan, Moratti regarded Ronaldo as a parent and child. Now in AC Milan, Ronaldo and Berlusconi are certainly not so close.
At that time, the president of the Brazilian Football Association, Teixeira, was a strong supporter of Ronaldo. The reason why Ronaldo could make a bright return to the World Cup between South Korea and Japan is also related to the Brazilian Football Association and coach Scolari's great pressure not to use "lone wolf" Romario and only trust Ronaldo.
Now Ronaldo's relationship with Teixeira is not as good as before. Teixeira said that Pang Luo was one of the culprits of Brazil's defeat in the 2006 World Cup, while Ronaldo publicly refuted that Brazil is not Teixeira's team.
Weight will also affect Ronaldo's knee recovery. In 2000, Ronaldo was only 83 kilograms, but at that time, many people thought that his excessive muscles were the main reason for his knee injury.
Now, even if you believe the figures published on AC Milan's official website, Fat Luo weighs at least 90 kilograms.
When he was injured in 2000, Ronaldo was the absolute main force in Brazil, which can be said to be Ronaldo and 10 other players.
Now, Ronaldo has not been called up to the national team for more than a year since the 2006 World Cup.
Ronaldo has not fallen on the court for the first time. His career is an alternation of injury, depression and achievements. Almost every time before, he found the strength to stand up again.
Can 31-year-old be able to return to the court this time?
is still a question mark.
The career of "alien" is envied by his peers. Football has given him a lot and made him taste the bitterness caused by injuries many times. When he arrived in Europe at the beginning of his career and was still playing in Eindhoven, he felt the trouble caused by the knee, which is an extremely ** part for professional players. Many detailed examinations characterized the problem as tibial process, and he had to suspend the game for a period of time according to the doctor's advice.
On the eve of the 1998 World Cup final, Ronaldo felt uncomfortable and barely played for 90 minutes and lost the championship, which is still confusing.
But the alien's nightmare of injury is still ahead. In Serie A, on November 21, 1999, Inter Milan's home game against Lecce, he suddenly fell to the ground in pain during his best "walking" action. The examination results showed a partial tear in the patella tendon of his right knee. He immediately underwent surgery and rested for six months.
On April 12, 2000, Ronaldo returned in the away Italian Cup final against Lazio. But not long after he came on as a substitute, his fragile right knee was vulnerable and he was carried away in tears. This patellar tendon is completely broken, another operation, and the expected recovery period of at least a year have made people worry that his career will stop here.
At the end of 2001, after nearly two years of long waiting, countless doctors, hospitals, stretchers and beds, Ronaldo returned to the stadium and returned to Inter Milan led by Cooper at that time.
Just as people rejoiced for the return of aliens and looked forward to sharing the fruits of victory with them, the famous black May 5, 2002 added a bitter tone to his career, and the league champion of Inter Milan flew away.
After suffering from injury and losing the league championship, the 2002 World Cup became a sign of Ronaldo's real return, and he became the top scorer of the World Cup with 7 goals.
After lifting the World Cup with his teammates in Japan, Ronaldo said goodbye to Inter Milan, a club that had witnessed countless classic and wonderful moments on the field, and went to Real Madrid.
In Spain, he also failed to escape the claws of injury. In May 2003, his left calf was fractured in the Champions Cup against Juventus.
In 2004, pain in the left thigh muscle hit from time to time.
The Madrid derby in October 2005 caused partial damage to his left ankle tissue.
On July 31, 2007, Ronaldo, who had transferred to AC Milan, participated in the open training match with thousands of fans to celebrate the start of the new season in San Siro. A minute before the end of the training session, after making a big foot kick-off with his left foot, he fell to the ground, and his teammates Kaka and Serginho At first, I thought he was joking.
Such a seemingly absurd injury was diagnosed with a strained flexor of the left thigh, which was enough to break him in the first half of the 2007/08 season.
Ronaldo was supposed to play as a substitute in the Champions League against Benfica at the end of last year, but he injured his calf during the warm-up event. Next is this serious injury to his left knee. During his time playing for the two Milan teams, the patella tendons of one left and one right knee were broken one after another. Whether Ronaldo can recover or not still needs unimaginable patience and strength.
God is jealous of talents.
The childhood suffering of Kaka, Pato and others is very different from Ronaldo's repeated serious injuries in adulthood.
Everyone is asking, what's wrong with Ronaldo?
Can he still stand up?
Will the alien who will turn 32 this year be completely defeated by this serious injury and say goodbye to football?
People dare not imagine that if all that really happened, it would be the sadness of football.
After the game, no one cares about AC Milan's victory, and no one pursues Pato's goal. At this moment, people are only concerned about Ronaldo's injury.
Ronaldo's sadness, panic, despair and shouting can't disappear in front of the whole audience, but his painful action of covering his face with his hands. What kind of mood is it?
After the game, Livorno goalkeeper Amelia said, "I really heard the sound of his bones breaking."
Ronaldo was hurt, but also helpless. His left knee was twisted when he fought for the high ball to land. Galante in front of him and Vidigar behind him did not foul him, and it was another cruel "self-harm".
A number of major injuries in the alien's career, and there are very few elements of violence against his opponents. In the first two serious injuries of Inter, he fell down. At the beginning of this season, he also pulled his leg during the goal during training and was injured again before the return of the cold Lisbon. His physical fragility and the huge psychological shadow left after repeated injuries controlled him with his innate talent.
It seems that Milan City has become Ronaldo's sad and a kind of penalty area, with exactly the same injuries on his left and right knees, and came separately when he played for Milan. Playing in the Netherlands and Spain, he suffered minor injuries, but rested for a month at most.
He lost the league championship at Inter 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, but he finally suffered this disaster.
The last time, he took a break and made a strong comeback, but that was more than eight years ago, can Ronnie survive this this time?
Ronaldo's injury worries the whole football world. This injury may indeed endanger his career, but everyone hopes that he can stick to it.
Galliani, vice president of AC Milan, said: "Before Ronaldo joined AC Milan, I told him that you would feel love and attention when he came here. Today, I will still say that what happened today has proved this."
For the future, Galliani doesn't want to talk too much now. The top priority is Ronaldo's surgery. He said, "I won't say anything before talking about this with the team doctor. We will wait for the result of the operation. I don't know how long Ronaldo will take a truce. This is a disaster. We must do it in the best way. In this way, we don't want yesterday to be the last picture of Ronaldo's career. He is the best Brazilian player after Pele.
Berusconi, president of AC Milan Club, said: "I just called him, and I told him that I introduced him because I trusted him. Today he will have surgery. He is still young at the age of 31. I believe that he will still return in a few months and become what we know. World champion."
Real Madrid President Calderon also said: "On behalf of the Real Madrid Club, I send Ronaldo the best wishes. I still remember the happy time when I was with Ronaldo. He is now in a dark moment. I want to give him a hug on behalf of the whole team.
Even Inter Milan's chairman Moratti is praying for Ronaldo: "I hope Ronaldo can get better as soon as possible, although his career has been threatened as in 2000, he has a strong physique and strong psychological qualities, coupled with the doctor's understanding of him, and he has had this It's a kind of injury experience, so this time it should be able to get out of the shadow faster.
Digan also said in an interview: "Ronaldo is a very good player. He is the darling of the times. I admire him very much. When he was in Atlanta, he often watched TV to imitate his playing style. I feel very sorry for his injury. I can understand him now. I have experienced two serious injuries at the beginning. I hope he can get out of the shadow of the injury and return to the football field.
Ronaldo in pain has been blessed by everyone. After Ronaldo was injured in 2000, he finally returned and won the World Cup after two years of suffering. Now, people are looking forward to another miracle, at least don't let Ronaldo say goodbye tragically from his injury.
The war is coming, but AC Milan lost an important member at this time. Now all Ancelotti can rely on on the front line is Pato and Girardino, or simply Pato.
A incomplete lineup, coupled with a tired Pato, such as AC Milan went to the Flagi Stadium to challenge the invincible Florence. Even though the media is still stubbornly saying that they are looking forward to seeing Pato defeating Digan, in fact, they are not optimistic about the prospects of AC Milan.
AC Milan's recent momentum of chasing points is very strong, leaving only seven points away from Juventus, the fourth in the league. However, if their confidence is hit at the Vlaki Stadium, it is difficult to predict what will happen next.
Don't forget that after this game, next Wednesday, they will go to Portugal to play a key battle with Benfica about the Champions League team's qualifying.
It can be said that these two games will be related to the success or failure of AC Milan throughout the season.
