Chapter 712: Flash of Genius

"Hey Sue, long time no see!"

As soon as he walked out of the away team locker room at the San Siro Stadium, Su Dong met Ronaldinho who came out of the home team locker room.

The Brazilian had long hair and wore a black wig. He looked very energetic. When he saw Su Dong, he greeted him from a distance, revealing his iconic buck teeth.

"Hello, Ronaldinho, long time no see!"

Su Dong walked up to him quickly, shook hands with him, and then gave a big hug to his former teammate with whom he had fought side by side for three years.

It's interesting to say that the temperature in Milan, Italy is actually slightly higher than that in Munich, but tonight AC Milan is wearing long-sleeved jerseys, while Bayern is wearing short-sleeved jerseys, which looks a bit strange.

"Good performance lately, buddy." Su Dong smiled and walked side by side with Ronaldinho.

Ronaldinho smiled and said, "It's OK. I just think we should hurry up."

The Brazilian's words suddenly reminded Su Dong that Ronaldinho was about to turn 30 years old.

It is really sad to say that Ronaldinho's development is far less than what the outside world expected.

If he was suppressed by Su Dong during his time at Barcelona, ​​then he should have taken on the main responsibility after Su Dong left the team, but he did not. Even after transferring to AC Milan, he still did not perform to his expected level.

Before we know it, he is almost thirty years old. How long can he continue to play?

"It's okay. You don't rely on your body to make a living anyway." Su Dong comforted with a smile.

Ronaldinho shook his head. "I wasted too much time."

Su Dong's heart skipped a beat. He wondered if what he saw was a fake Ronaldinho? When would this guy be like this?

Before Su Dong could digest it, Ronaldinho suddenly chuckled, "At least tonight, I want to be my real self and compete with you again. I don't want to lose to you all the time."

Su Dong smiled and waved his hand. He felt that this might be the reason why Ronaldinho had recovered in recent times.

Since their time at Barcelona, ​​the two have always maintained a relationship of both friends and enemies.

"It seems that I have to remind my teammates to be careful of you!" Su Dong said seriously.

This made Ronaldinho very happy, and he couldn't stop smiling, "Just defend it, you can't defend it anyway!"

He has absolute confidence in his abilities.

If he wants to, he can do it.

…

The two chatted along the way, and when they walked out of the player tunnel, they happened to meet their old friend Beckham again.

This old coach has come to AC Milan for the second time, and he always gives people the illusion that he is here to show his presence.

But it has to be said that Beckham always maintains sufficient self-discipline, which is beyond doubt.

Beckham is about to turn 35, and it is indeed difficult for him to maintain his form, but as long as he is on the court, who can underestimate him? But what really caught Su Dong's attention was the subsequent pre-match training.

Bayern's warm-up training was going pretty steadily, but AC Milan's situation was much more lively.

Ronaldinho looked very excited, laughing constantly and performing a few beautiful moves from time to time, which made the fans who entered the stadium first couldn't help cheering. He also did a few moves with Pato, Thiago Silva and other Brazilian players, appearing very active.

This made Su Dong show some worry.

"Be careful later Ronaldinho."

After the warm-up, Su Dong returned to the locker room and reminded Ram, Lucio and others.

"I know him, he has some demands now, and you can see that he is in a very good mood and is in a relaxed state of mind. This is a very bad sign, because Ronaldinho in this state will be terrible."

Su Dong's words made many people in the Bayern locker room look skeptical. Is it really true?

You know, Ronaldinho has been in decline for a while. If it weren't for his assist hat trick against Udinese in the last round, no one would regard him as a top star anymore.

In fact, even if he performed a hat trick of assists, no one would regard him as a top player now.

At best, he is just a top star who has passed his prime.

"Trust me, be careful!" Su Dong reminded again.

Ram also realized Su Dong's importance, and immediately shouted to his teammates, asking everyone to pay more attention.

In fact, it is no wonder. Among Bayern's current players, not many have actually faced Ronaldinho's peak period. They naturally don't know that Ronaldinho plays football purely according to his mood.

When he is in a good mood, the fighting power he unleashes is amazing.

…………

…………

I don’t know whether Leonardo’s starting lineup lacked novelty or Heynckes was shrewd and calculating, but the old man once again guessed AC Milan’s starting lineup correctly.

The goalkeeper is Dida, the defense is Antonini, Nesta, Thiago Silva and Bonera, the midfield is a combination of Ambrosini, Pirlo and Beckham, the front trident is Ronaldinho on the left, Huntelaar in the middle, and Pato appears on the right.

This is a typical 4-3-3 formation.

In comparison, Bayern's 4-3-3 seemed very atypical, but no one noticed it because the game hadn't started yet.

Bayern took the lead in the game.

After Su Dong kicked the ball to Robben, he quickly passed it back.

AC Milan rushed forward with all their might, putting pressure on Bayern in the frontcourt.

Bayern, who played away, stood firm after the start and kicked the ball directly to the front court, but Thiago Silva got the ball first and headed it down. Beckham moved from the right to the left.

The ball quickly crossed the center line and Ronaldinho got the ball on the left, facing Lahm and Modric who were defending him.

Under the pressure of two Bayern defenders, Ronaldinho made a feint and then kicked the ball with his heel, trying to juggle past the opponent, but failed. The ball hit his heel and passed it back, across the center line, to his teammate Ambrosini.

Ronaldinho didn't care. He continued to run forward with a smile and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

However, AC Milan's attack failed to pose a threat.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

…

AC Milan's tactical thinking is not surprising. Just as Heynckes said before the game, they want to use the players' personal abilities to cooperate and drive the team's overall offensive.

This is also in line with the character of Brazilians, they still highly value personal ability.

But just over two minutes into the game, AC Milan attacked from the right. When Pato was dribbling forward, he was defended by Marcelo. The two Brazilian national team teammates were entangled on Bayern's left. Marcelo made a tackle and knocked Pato to the ground with the ball. The referee blew the whistle and gave AC Milan a free kick on the right side of the frontcourt.

The position is remote, closer to the right, and the possibility of a direct shot is very small.

But this is the area where Beckham excels.

The England midfielder stood in front of the penalty spot, took a look at the penalty area, took a quick run-up, drew his bow and arrow, and kicked a very beautiful arc free kick with his right foot, which fell directly into the penalty area.

Lucio, under the interference of Huntelaar, Nesta and others, grabbed the first point and headed the ball out.

The header did not go far and landed on the left side of the top of the penalty area. Ronaldinho judged the landing point and quickly followed up, volleying the ball without stopping.

The ball bounced in front of the goal and then refracted into the right side of the goal.

Neuer dived sideways, but was still powerless.

Ronaldinho excitedly rushed out of the stadium. Amid the cheers of Milan fans, the Brazilian superstar shouted excitedly as if he had returned to his peak. He even twisted his waist and danced the samba on the sidelines.

"Less than three minutes into the game, AC Milan had their first shot and Ronaldinho scored a brilliant volley into Bayern's goal!"

"This goal was very unexpected, a flash of inspiration from Ronaldinho!"

"The Brazilian superstar has made a very obvious recovery in recent times, and he was extremely excited tonight."

…

Su Dong was in the frontcourt, helplessly watching Ronaldinho and Milan players running wildly to celebrate, feeling very helpless.

He has already warned his teammates to be careful, and all signs indicate that Ronaldinho is in pretty good shape.

Don't be complacent and think that Ronaldinho is not dangerous just because he is old and has been in poor form for so long.

On the contrary, a genius like him can create a threat at any time as long as he wants.

Look, he scored a goal!

"It's okay, it's okay, cheer up and pay attention." Su Dong loudly encouraged the morale of his teammates.

At the same time, he walked up to Lahm and Lucio, signaling them to be more careful. Ronaldinho was in really good form tonight, and he could score again at any time if they were not careful.

Facts have once again proved that Su Dong's view was correct.

But when Ronaldinho gets angry, it's hard to defend against him.

For example, in the fifth minute, AC Milan attacked the front court and passed the ball to Ronaldinho's feet.

Facing double-teaming by Lahm, Lucio and Modric, Ronaldinho managed to pass the ball out of the encirclement with a heel-juggling move and was almost threatened by AC Milan again.

The entire San Siro Stadium cheered for Ronaldinho's wonderful performance.

The Brazilian player was quite lively from the start.

Heynckes could no longer remain calm on the sidelines and immediately signaled to Lucio, Lahm and Modric to pay attention to Ronaldinho and not let him continue to play as he pleases.

But just two minutes later, Beckham took advantage of the space left by Marcelo on Bayern's left and sent the ball directly behind him.

Pato quickly came back and after receiving the pass from Beckham, he cut inside from the front of the penalty area and was entangled by Pepe and Mascherano, but the Brazilian striker got there first and passed the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

When Ronaldinho stopped the ball, he faced Lahm one-on-one.

In the penalty area, the Brazilian walked with a devilish pace, skillfully deceived Lahm, suddenly dribbled the ball back, and shot again with his right foot, straight into the lower right corner of the goal.
