Chapter 179 Milan’s Troops Are Approaching the City

The battle with Everton was Rooney's first return to Liverpool's Goodison Park since his move to Old Trafford last summer to face his old club Everton. Before the game, the local police actually dispatched special forces to protect Rooney. It seems very exaggerated.

When he entered the stadium, he was also treated by the fans of the home team who shouted "Judas" (traitor). Saha and Smith did not travel with the team to the away game. Dong Fangzhuo and Giggs were placed on the bench, and Rooney and Ruud Ruud formed a strike partner.

From the opening whistle, Rooney was booed by the home fans every time he touched the ball. It seemed that he felt too much pressure. Rooney had no bright spots in the game. However, Van Nistelrooy, who started the game, quickly gave Manchester United the lead. In the 23rd minute, Ronaldo broke through and passed from the right. Ruud van Nistelrooy hit the goal with a strong header from 6 yards away.

The active Ronaldo scored a goal in the 59th minute to expand the score. Arteta fouled Ronaldo from 25 yards away. Scholes' free kick hit goalkeeper Martin and bounced out. Ronaldo got the ball and added it. The shot was successful.

In the end, Manchester United defeated Everton 2:0 in the away game and successfully advanced to the next round of the FA Cup.

After the game, Ronaldo also won back praise from the outside world.

Last season, he was just a flashy kid who attracted attention with his dazzling dribbling, and was even ridiculed as a paranoid patient by the media. Now he has become a key man for Manchester United, contributing goals and assists many times. Cristiano Ronaldo is still so persistent in his breakthrough, but in Ferguson's eyes, there is a qualitative difference.

In this FA Cup victory over Everton, Ronaldo became the hero of the game. An assist and a goal were enough to lock in the best award on the spot, and these two shining performances relied on Ronaldo's best performance in the past. Not good at crossing and grabbing points in front of goal.

In the 23rd minute, Ronaldo's breakthrough opened the gap, and then his cross ball flew accurately to the goal. Ruud van Nistelrooy easily scored with a header from 6 yards in front of the goal. Crossing has always been a weakness that Ronaldo has been criticized for, but this time This pass was eye-catching. Both the arc and the landing point were just right. The British News Agency article even described it as "expert-like delivery".

The goal was another way, in the 59th minute.

Scholes' free kick caused the Everton goalkeeper to save the ball. Ronaldo cleverly appeared in the penalty area and fired a supplementary shot to seal the victory. At this moment, his figure looked extremely cunning. He was learning to use new ways to attack his opponents.

Ferguson has long said that Ronaldo has unlimited potential, and the Portuguese's progress in just one year has verified his words. After the game, Sir Alex was even more delighted to single out Ronaldo and praise him individually, saying that he had become a model for Manchester United.

"Ronaldo, this young man, is an amazing player," Ferguson said. "He was simply abused today. I don't know how many times he was fouled by the opponent, but no one on the other side took a card."

"But this young man's performance was stable from beginning to end. He never gave in. Every time he stood up and went for the ball again. He is really an incredible player."

Cristiano Ronaldo has the potential to conquer the world. Not only Ferguson holds this view, but also his teammate Figo in the Portuguese national team. Figo said that there are two young talents with the most potential in the world, and Ronaldo is his favorite. 's: "Cristiano Ronaldo, along with Robben, are the two players with the most potential right now,"

Figo said: "I played with Ronaldo in the national team. I know him very well because he is Portuguese, so I value him more. He has outstanding abilities and has the opportunity to become the number one star in the world. He is only 20 years old. , has the potential to become a better player than anyone I’ve ever seen.”

Needless to say, Cristiano Ronaldo has not received such praise and treatment for a long time. Sir Alex rarely praises a player in front of the media like this.

However, the praise Ronaldo has heard the most was not from Ferguson's mouth, but from Dong Fangzhuo's mouth.

After staying with Dong Fangzhuo for nearly a season, Dong Fangzhuo always praised him in his ears. Dong Fangzhuo always said that one day he would become the best player in the world. He didn't expect both Sir Alex Ferguson and Figo to say this. Before, he thought Dong Fangzhuo was just trying to make himself happy and purely encourage him, but he didn't expect that his sky was so big...

Of course, this also gives AC Milan coach Ancelotti an even more headache. Milan seems to be facing not one or two players from Manchester United, but several such players.

Milan is here, and local media are flocking to it. Even the Manchester Evening News wrote an article praising Milan - "No opponent is greater than AC Milan! Their strength is unfathomable.
