Chapter 111 He Looks Like God!
Su Dong only learned yesterday evening that Ronaldo was included in the substitute list by Real Madrid head coach Bosque.
This is the first time he has been included in the squad since joining Real Madrid.
And everyone knows that for a superstar of Ronaldo's level, he either doesn't make the team or, once he's on the roster, he will definitely play, it's just a matter of how much playing time he'll have.
Su Dong is a die-hard fan of Ronaldo and he is eager to witness his idol's Real Madrid debut in person.
What's even more rare is that Sporting Lisbon's game is on Sunday night, while Real Madrid's game is scheduled for Monday.
Time allowed Su Dong to finish the Portuguese Super League game and rush to Madrid to watch the game the next day.
But they didn't expect that they were cheated by the unreliable agent Tonito, which almost prevented them from entering the Bernabeu.
In the end, Su Dong contacted Garcia, a scout and friend of Spanish star Luis Suarez. Through Garcia's relationship, he easily got a few free tickets at the Bernabeu and successfully entered the stadium before the game started.
The location is quite good, right in the chairman's stand.
…
Real Madrid's performance so far this season has not been good.
After four rounds of La Liga, the Galacticos are only ranked sixth.
The leader is Valencia, the Bat Army led by Benítez, followed by Celta Vigo, Real Sociedad, Super Deportivo and Malaga. Barcelona, coached by Van Gaal, is even worse, ranking only eighth.
In the fourth round, Barcelona, coached by the famous Dutch coach, even lost 0-3 to Real Betis away from home, and the situation was worrying.
From the plane to Madrid and then into the Bernabeu Stadium, Tonito mentioned the head coach of the leading Valencia team, Benítez, to Su Dong and others whenever he had the chance. This head coach who came from Real Madrid's youth training camp coached Tenerife in 2000.
"At that time, I had just joined Sporting Lisbon from Setubal and performed very well in the youth training camp. Benítez always wanted to buy me back and often arranged scouts to follow me. My agent told me that even now, he still remembers me. Maybe one day, I will go to Valencia to play football."
Tonito was not without boasting, after all, Benítez's coaching results in Valencia were quite good.
"Come on, Valencia is not investigating you at all, okay?" Ronnie laughed.
"Who said that? It was obviously me."
While the two were arguing, the stadium broadcast began to introduce the starting and substitute lineups of the two teams.
Due to injuries, Real Madrid's two generals Raul and Morientes were not included in the roster due to injuries, and were replaced by the young and talented young player Portillo.
Although this young player is only 20 years old, he has already gained great fame. As early as when he was in the youth team, he had broken Raul's goal record in the Real Madrid youth training camp. He was expected by all Real Madrid fans and was recognized as Raul's successor.
This season, Real Madrid coach Bosque promoted him to the first team. He only came on as a substitute in the previous games and had not scored a goal so far, but in this game he was arranged to start and was entrusted with an important task.
Behind the talented striker Portillo are Zidane, Guti and Figo, and the double defensive midfielders are Makelele and Cambiasso, among whom Cambiasso is also a midfield rookie favored by countless people.
The defense line is Roberto Carlos, Elguera, Hierro and Minambres, and the goalkeeper is Casillas.
Real Madrid not only has a star-studded starting lineup, but also a wealth of talented players on the bench.
In addition to superstar Ronaldo, McManaman and Solari are both famous players in Europe, but they can only be substitutes in Real Madrid. Raul Bravo and Pavon are both young Spanish defenders with extraordinary potential.
It is precisely this lineup with a good combination of old, middle-aged and young players that has enabled Real Madrid to win the Champions League twice in the past three seasons and be named the most successful and greatest football club of the 20th century.
But the game did not go as expected by the outside world, as Real Madrid overwhelmingly suppressed Alaves.
…
Just seventy-five seconds into the game, Zidane showed the level of a world-class superstar. After receiving a long pass from Carlos, he turned inside and got rid of a defender, then shot with his right foot from the left edge of the penalty area.
This goal was scored beautifully.
Su Dong jumped up to celebrate for Zidane and was full of praise for the goal, because he clearly saw that Zidane not only received Carlos' long pass and stopped it perfectly, but also made a fake move of pretending to rush into the penalty area, deceiving the Alaves defender, and then he took a step with his left foot and shot directly with his right foot.
The whole process was very smooth and done in one go, and the movements were as natural as flowing water. This was definitely a master-level performance.
Su Dong asked himself, if it were him, he would never be able to do this.
It was impossible for the defenders to steal the ball when facing Zidane's series of actions, because Zidane's movements were very well connected, leaving no chance for the opponents to intervene. The most they could do was interfere, but they could not steal the ball.
This is a superstar! Facing a player of Zidane's level, you really have no choice but to surrender.
After breaking the deadlock, the two teams fought a fierce offensive battle.
This is also a feature of La Liga and the Portuguese Super League, both teams basically play unconservatively.
Half an hour later, former Barcelona veteran Abelardo, who had just been fooled by Zidane, committed another foul and tripped Portillo in the penalty area. A penalty kick was awarded and Figo scored another goal for Real Madrid.
After leading by two goals, Real Madrid was obviously a little relaxed, which led to Alaves gradually rebounding and subsequently getting consecutive counterattack opportunities. In the 37th minute, after Alonso's shot was saved by Casillas, Brazilian striker Magno made a supplementary shot and scored.
The slight lead of 2-1 was maintained until the second half. Real Madrid's situation was a bit passive for a while. Portillo was still young after all and missed many opportunities, while Ronaldo on the bench was obviously a little restless.
Finally, in the 63rd minute, when the game entered a critical stage, Bosque replaced Portillo with Ronaldo, obviously to enhance the offensive efficiency of Real Madrid's front line.
"Wow! Ronaldo!"
Su Dong and others all jumped up excitedly and shouted loudly.
Even Ronnie, who was not fond of Ronaldo because of his name, was excited at this moment.
What was even more unexpected was that just fifty seconds after coming on as a substitute, Real Madrid made an offensive cooperation on the left sideline. After receiving the ball, Carlos made a diagonal pass. Ronaldo, who was near the penalty spot in the penalty area, cleverly took a step back, stopped the ball with his chest, and after the ball hit the ground and bounced, he turned around and volleyed with his right foot, hitting a beautiful ground-bounce ball.
The goalkeeper who was so close was completely powerless.
In less than a minute, Ronaldo, like a god descending from heaven, scored another goal for Real Madrid! In an instant, the entire Bernabeu Stadium went crazy.
Sudong, Ronaldo, Pepe and others were shouting Ronaldo's name at the top of their lungs, just like all Real Madrid fans.
This is simply unbelievable.
This is Ronaldo's strength!
No one could have imagined that he would score a goal as soon as he came on the pitch.
"He looks like God!" Pepe exclaimed.
Su Dong nodded continuously, "Ronaldo is so strong!"
You know, this was Ronaldo's first official match since the World Cup final. After joining Real Madrid this season, he was affected by injuries again. Before the World Cup, he was also plagued by injuries.
But such a super genius who had suffered so many disasters scored the first goal for Real Madrid in the first minute of his first appearance for Real Madrid! If this is not a genius, if this is not a legend, then what is he? Especially when the game resumed, Su Dong and others could clearly feel that Ronaldo could not keep up with the pace of the game, which was a symptom of long-term absence from the game.
But it was this person who scored a goal in the first minute.
Perhaps, this is the difference between genius and ordinary people.
What's even more terrifying is that just fifteen minutes after the first goal, Real Madrid launched an attack from the left again. McManaman, who came on as a substitute, passed the ball to the left before the defender in a quick counterattack.
Ronaldo broke into the left side of the penalty area, received a pass from McManaman, and calmly sent a straight shot, accurately sending the ball into the bottom of the right side of the net, five to one!
Scored twice!
Figo also scored twice. Before Ronaldo's second goal, he received an assist from Minambres and scored the fourth goal for Real Madrid, also scoring twice.
The entire Bernabeu Stadium turned into a vast ocean.
The 75,000 fans at the scene created a crazy wave of noise, sweeping every corner and every person in the stadium.
Su Dong, Ronnie and others never sat down since Ronaldo came on the court.
There were countless people at the scene who were just like them, because they were so excited.
It is definitely a wonderful enjoyment to watch superstars such as Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo, Carlos and others performing invincible offensive performances on the court.
Especially Su Dong.
Watching the performances of the superstars, watching every touch of the ball, watching every treatment they made, he felt ashamed of himself.
But he did not belittle himself.
This is the goal he has always been striving to achieve!
He longs to be like his idol Ronaldo and play freely in European football! …
"Would you like to go walk around the locker room?"
As the game was about to end, Garcia suddenly made an offer that was hard to refuse.
"Real Madrid's locker room?" Ronnie was the first to jump up.
"Is it okay?" Pepe asked.
That's Real Madrid's dressing room, can anyone just walk in? "Of course you can't just walk into Real Madrid's dressing room, but I can arrange it."
"Really?" Su Dong was full of surprise and his heart was beating very fast.
Garcia was very satisfied with the surprise effect he created. He knew very well that this group of young guys were at an age where they were crazy about chasing stars, and most of their idols were in the Real Madrid locker room.
"Of course, I'll go make the arrangements. Please wait."
After saying that, Garcia stood up, hunched over, and went to the exit of the stands.
Su Dong, Ronnie and others were all so excited that they couldn't sit still at all.
They really want to go into the locker room to see their idol.
Maybe they can meet, shake hands, take photos with superstars such as Ronaldo, Zidane and Figo, and if possible, they should even ask them for a jersey and autograph.
The boys were immediately filled with anticipation.
