After Inter Milan's victory over Juventus, published a long review.
"Ronaldo is still the best striker in the world, none of them. Facing Juventus' world-class defense, he scored an explosive goal in an almost unsolvable way to help Inter Milan set the record. Although it is already the old key We have to emphasize once again that Ronaldo is no longer the 'successor of Bailey'. He is Ronnie, he is an alien, he is a phenomenon, and he has become part of history. "
"We should also note that Ricardo's strong performance in the game. An assist and a direct free kick score, Ricardo continued his high-light performance after joining Inter Milan. Let us look at his data: in In the league and the Champions League, there have been 10 appearances in total, including 6 appearances in the starting lineup, with a total of 671 minutes played. In these 671 minutes, he completed 29 shots, 17 shots, and 58% of the shots; 9 The efficiency of a goal converted into a goal was 31%; 27 key passes were completed, and 12 assists were contributed. The average passing rate was 4.7 times and the passing rate was 90%. "
"Few South American players have been able to perform so shockingly when they first entered Serie A. Ronaldo did just that when he landed in Serie A, but then Ronaldo was 21 years old. Ricardo was only 18 years old. I can't imagine What kind of future is waiting for him. Now, he is regarded as Ronaldo's successor, and everyone is known as 'Ronaldo's younger brother'. Perhaps after a few years, he will write his own legend, and Ronaldo is called 'Ricardo's brother.' "
"Inter Milan made a good 20 million transfer fee, and now it is almost certain that this is the best transfer operation for Serie A in the 2004-05 summer transfer window, and even the most successful transfer in Europe. Operation. As long as the three Brazilian players Ronaldo, Ricardo and Adriano can maintain their current status, Inter Milan has the possibility of winning the league championship, and even hope to make a breakthrough in the Champions League. In this event , Their best record in recent years is the top four, and this year they are expected to go further. But only if Mancini wants to improve his defense immediately. "
"Inter Milan's goals conceded this season are not like a strong team. There are many problems with their defense. They have received too many draws, which has affected their ranking in the league. In fact, Inter Milan has many Outstanding defensive players, what Mancini has to do is to make them a solid defensive system, rather than let them blindly rely on personal ability to defend in the game. "
"If Inter Milan's defensive quality can be improved, Inter will be a strong contender in this season's league, the Champions League and the Italian Cup."
Uh ...
Ricardo naturally saw this article. But contrary to the point of this article, he believes that Mancini is unable to transform the team's defense and should focus more on offense.
It is not that he doesn't think defense is important. In modern football, defense is much more important than offense. It's because Mancini is not good at defense at all. No matter how hard he catches, the quality of the team's defense is difficult to improve, and it is better to work **** offense.
The opponent enters one, and I enter two. If the opponent enters 2, I will enter 4. Carrying out a vigorous offensive football to the end, even if you die, you must die with dignity, and you can get rid of everything, but you may succeed.
Ricardo thinks, it seems that Mancini's thinking is like this now.
However, the offensive mentality under Mancini's coaching is still quite chaotic. The midfield and frontcourt players mainly rely on the familiarity and understanding of each other to cooperate. To be realistic, Inter Milan lacks a midfielder like Harvey and Pirlo.
Belon does have this skill, but he can't pass the ball to Brazilian players. What can he do?
And Emre's antagonism is too poor, and his spirituality is gradually disappearing; Stankovic and Cambiasso are lacking a little spirituality; Davis' state has fallen sharply; "White Davis" C. Zanetti is even more Has been reduced to three unreliable marginal players.
Inter Milan's midfield looks talented, but none can carry the banner of organized attack. This situation will not be corrected until many years before Sneijder joins.
From the 97-98 season until Sneijder joined in 2009, Inter Milan's tactics have always been simple and crude: the midfielder and the defender intercepted the ball, and then gave it to the super forwards to solve the battle.
In another spacetime, from Zamorano, Ronaldo, Robert Baggio, Vieri, Recoba, Crespo, and later Adriano, Martins, Ibrahimovic, Milito, Eto'o, Inter have always had the best forwards in the world, but they lack a good midfielder that can fully inspire these forwards' capabilities.
Ricardo could not solve this ill of Inter Milan. He has a certain organizational ability, but it is impossible to compare with professional organizers such as Harvey, Pirlo, and Sneijder He is better at attacking.
So, so, let's make full use of your strengths and destroy your opponent with offense!
After defeating Juventus at home, Inter Milan achieved good results in the rest of 2004.
In the Champions League match, Inter Milan defeated Anderlecht 4: 0 at home on December 7th, successfully qualifying as the first team.
In the league, Messina was washed at 6: 0 at home, defeated Siena 4: 2 away, and Brescia was defeated 2: 0 at home.
Ricardo started all four games. Although his performance was not as impressive as before, he also received good comments. He contributed 1 goal and 3 assists in 4 games. It is worth noting that his three assists were given to Ronaldo.
Ronaldo is even crazy, scoring 7 goals in 4 games, it is a walking goal machine.
In an interview, Ronaldo attributed his good condition to Ricardo: "Ricci always passes the ball that makes me very comfortable. He is the person who knows me best. He is familiar with my way of playing. Just one With his eyes, he can understand what I want to do. And his ability to make breakthroughs is very strong, and he can always create opportunities in impossible places. With him around, I just need to focus on the goal, which is exactly me good at."
League round to the 16th round, despite Ronaldo suspended for more than a month due to injury, still scored a horrific 14 goals, temporarily ranked top scorer.
After playing against Brescia, the team entered the winter break, Ronaldo pushed out many commercials and TV shows, and returned to Brazil for Christmas with Ricardo.
