Chapter 432 He is not Xiao Luo

Mourinho's praise and expectations for Notts County made the Portuguese more solid in her reputation as a madman, and in her words, the extraordinary Notts County did not disappoint him.

After a bloodbath at Blackburn Rovers in the first round, Notts County finally ushered in its first game at the Magpies Stadium.

The Meadow Lane Stadium, with a history of more than 100 years, officially ended its mission, and the Magpie Stadium also opened a new chapter with a successful relay on August 22, 2004.

The Magpie Stadium, which can accommodate 50,000 fans, had 36,712 spectators for this game. No one knows how Notts County attracted so many spectators. This is comparable to Notts County's last season.

There are a lot more people watching the game.

Notts County's opponent in this round was Aston Villa, the Premier League powerhouse at the time, and they were much better than Blackburn.

Guardiola made a small rotation in this game. Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo started the game and stood at the forward position. The left and right winger positions were the Robbery combination that Notts County fans are very familiar with.

Ronaldinho, who originally started playing as a left winger, stood in the attacking midfielder position in this game. Brazilian veteran Rivaldo took a rest in the second round.

Although they still maintain a very high competitive state, time is not forgiving, and veterans such as Rivaldo, Hubner, Overmars, and Abelardo are basically in a state of taking a break from each game.

In the first game, Dutch midfielder Sneijder, who had some discomfort in his calf, was not even included in the squad for this game.

Brazilian player Kaka made his first official appearance on behalf of Notts County and ushered in such a big day as the opening game of the Magpie Stadium. Kaka was somewhat nervous.

Before both sides kicked off, Kaka devoutly made a sign of the cross in the center circle, then raised his hands to the sky, not knowing what he said.

Guardiola's intention is obvious. This arrangement is not only a rotation, but also set off a youth storm in the Notts County frontcourt.

In the 14th minute of the first half, Xabi Alonso sent a wide long pass in his own half. Robben successfully countered offside in the middle of the penalty area, and his left-footed shot was missed by the Aston Villa goalkeeper.

Pounced.

The ball accidentally rolled to the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo. There was no reason for the Portuguese to miss such a gift.

"Cristiano..."

"Ronaldo!"

"Cristiano..."

"Ronaldo!"

"Ronaldo!"

The noise created by more than 30,000 fans at the scene was much more spectacular than the original one at Meadow Lane. The Portuguese very gentlemanly bowed towards the area where Notts County fans gathered to show his gratitude.

Many young players in Notts County have experienced the moment when the team won the championship at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Although the number of fans is not as large as the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, the 30,000 fans at the Magpie Stadium give people the feeling that it is better than the 80,000 fans.

Whatever famous fans bring, they will be more proud and satisfied.

A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own bird's nest!

The magpie leaves the nest and soars into the sky!

After Notts County scored, Aston Villa also tried to equalize the score, but several young players in the Notts County frontcourt firmly controlled the ball at their feet.

In the 26th minute, Xabi Alonso stole the ball from Aston Villa's midfielder in the midfield and passed it straight to Franck Ribery who was advancing forward. The ball was delivered from the outside of the foot and the instep was very comfortable.

Ribery kept passing the ball through the middle, and the ball was successfully delivered to the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo in the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper, the Portuguese gently picked up the ball.

"Goooooooooal~~~"

"Goooooooooooooooooal~~~"

"A brace! This is the first time in the history of the Magpie Stadium that a brace has been scored. The Portuguese scored the first two goals in the history of this stadium!"

"Yes, this must be a highlight in the history of this stadium. Let's start looking forward to seeing if the Portuguese can create the first hat trick in the history of the Magpie Stadium!"

The Portuguese's two goals almost made the two commentators on the scene hoarse. They obviously did not expect that Notts County would penetrate Aston Villa's goal twice in such a short period of time.

Is Aston Villa too weak?

Or is Notts County too strong?

This is a problem!

In the remainder of the first half, Notts County players began to create offensive opportunities for the Portuguese.

Xabi Alonso and Ronaldinho are both good at organizing attacks and delivering fatal blows.

Even if Ribery, Robben and Kaka are not offensive organizers in the traditional sense, they can rely on their own breakthroughs to provide Cristiano Ronaldo with some nanny balls.

With the concerted efforts of his teammates, as the first half was about to end, Franck Ribery made a series of breakthroughs and sent an inverted triangle pass aimed at the Portuguese's position.

Kaká and Robben each helped the president take away a defensive player, while Cristiano Ronaldo chose an unexpected outflanking route and went around the defensive player to score easily.

"Oh my god! Hat trick!"

"Goooooooooal~~~"

"He succeeded, he did it, he was not fighting alone!"

"You have Da Luo, I have Ronaldinho, Xiao Luo!"

The first hat trick in the history of the Magpie Stadium was born. The Portuguese scored three goals in forty-five minutes. While making history, the Portuguese also successfully topped the Premier League scorer list.

Although, Cristiano Ronaldo also knows that he cannot become the Premier League's Golden Boot, at least not this season.

You still have to have dreams, otherwise what’s the difference between them and salted fish?

This is a sentence that the boss often talks about. The Portuguese takes it seriously. At least he heard some fans in the stands call him Ronaldinho.

Although he doesn't like this title very much, it is an honor in itself to be compared with superstars like Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.

Aston Villa did not organize a strong counterattack after the halftime break. These ignorant Villa people were like soulless zombies.

In the end, relying on Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick and two goals from Robery, Notts County once again defeated their opponents with a score of 5-0 in the second game of the new season.

…

"Some people say that the reason why Notts County defeated Blackburn in the first game was because they had just undergone a coaching change and the adjustment was not in place yet. It was just our luck that we scored five goals. The same thing can be accomplished once and for all.

It's luck. If you do it twice or three times, that's strength!"

Wei Xun didn't know why he responded so impassionedly to the reporter's question at the post-match press conference.

Perhaps because he felt guilty, Wei gave this petite and cute female reporter another chance to ask questions.

"Chairman Wei, Cristiano Ronaldo relied on his performance in this game to win the title of Ronaldinho. Do you have any opinions on this title?"

"Cristiano is indeed a very good player. When I saw him in Sporting Lisbon, I was completely impressed by him. So I am willing to spend tens of millions of pounds to introduce him. He is the best player in my heart."

A priceless treasure, he will be worth hundreds of millions of pounds in the future."

"I want to say about his title. Portugal once had an outstanding striker like Eusébio, as well as a senior on the wing like Figo. I don't need to say more about Ronaldo's scoring efficiency, but Cristiano is not Eusébio.

Bio, nor Figo, nor Ronaldo, they just have the same name!"

"He is who he is, he is Cristiano, he is not Ronaldinho! He is unique. If I have to give Cristiano a nickname, I think the nickname president is particularly suitable for him. It goes with his celebrations.

Same, same domineering and sideways attitude."
