Chapter 524: No Wind, No Waves (Seventh)

C Luo scored twice and won the best of this game. He happily sprayed champagne on the turf...

Old Trafford fans also gave him thunderous applause, and young fans were calling his name.

With four consecutive wins, Manchester United also won Tottenham at home as they wished.

Tottenham's dream of winning the championship has indeed become a joke. Now, the only teams that can win four consecutive games in the Premier League are Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal.

Manchester United, who scored 12 points, ranked first with the advantage of scoring many goals. Ferguson was proud at the post-match press conference. He first praised Manchester United and then praised Ronaldo.

"Ronaldo's performance today was perfect, and he surprised me. His ability to finish the game now made me admire him. He is very calm and has a shooting style."

At that moment, Ferguson seemed to have forgotten Dong Fangzhuo who scored twice, and only remembered Ronaldo who scored twice. The two goals in the next ones were scored by Ronaldo, and he played very firmly. This is the strongest quality that an excellent shooter can show.

"He has grown too much and has become a guy who can stand alone."

Then the Manchester Evening News also reported a lot: Cristiano Ronaldo, the media and fans often give him extreme evaluations, either a genius player or a fancy move. In fact, these two evaluations point out his two sides. When it is smooth, it is wonderful to pass the ball to the top, and when it is unstoppable, it becomes a Denilson-style flower stand, and even a small move that can trip himself up...

Ronaldo is obviously not acceptable to the British football atmosphere. But after the start of the new season, everyone found that Ronaldo had an amazing change. The conflict between the World Cup and Rooney made him silent when playing in the UK, but the Portuguese used another way to respond to people's questions - shots, crazy shots!

In places like England, once the highlight continues, it will be praised, especially in wealthy clubs. Ronaldo's start this season is not worse than Dong Fangzhuo, and even Rooney feels inferior, although Rooney's data is not bad at all.

Before the game against Tottenham, according to Opta statistics, Manchester United shot 58 times in the first three rounds of the Premier League, 32 times within the goal range, scoring 14 goals. Ronaldo alone shot as many as 17 times. As a winger, Ronaldo's shots were ranked the highest in the team. This change is a way for Ronaldo to reposition himself.

After two years of baptism in the Premier League, Ronaldo understood that if his dribbling technology was not effective, British fans would rather watch Dong Fangzhuo's bulldozer-style attack. The Portuguese's own skills are not useful at all whenever a strong team is used, which makes him often at the center of a public opinion storm. Do you need technology or strength? For Ronaldo, the Portuguese are not born to play hand-to-hand football. The Portuguese's Latin style is his own. The only thing that can change is to increase his shots.

C. Ronaldo's shot is easy to ignore. His footwork control is abnormally authentic when shooting. The accuracy of his goal range may be the second highest in Manchester United team, second only to Dong Fangzhuo. However, since most of them are long shots, they often become a good material for goalkeepers to show off their skills, but this will also give Manchester United a chance to attack. Last season, Ronaldo entangled his dribbling under his feet, and rarely shot. After knowing that he had no way out in the Premier League with strong breakthroughs and dribbling, Ronaldo strengthened his shot. It is not surprising that the number of shots accounts for almost one-third of the team in three games, which only gave C. Ronaldo a chance to fully demonstrate.

In this game, when C. Ronaldo was playing shooting boots again, he had at least four shots that were substantial threatening in the 90th minute of the game. In addition to the direct shot of the set ball, he was a very powerful but not outrageous long shot. In the 6th minute of the game, the left foot shot was volleyed from 20 meters on the right. The ball walked to the ground and had a strong arc, but was confiscated by Robinson. He found the feeling of shooting at the beginning of the game. Next, Ronaldo's shot was more exciting and accurate. In the 9th minute, it was his free kick saved by Robinson, allowing Dong Fangzhuo to make a follow-up shot. Then several consecutive scenes of Ronaldo's shots while Robinson was busy, and he scored two goals in a row.

Manchester United's continuous attacks in the first four games provided an atmosphere of shooting, in which Ronaldo's desire to perform has been completely released.

According to the official statistics of the first four rounds, Ronaldo scored 5 goals and 3 assists, made 14 crosses, and 12 shots within the goal range. The statistics are often rigid, but Ronaldo's role as a Manchester United winger is being reflected.

The Sir Alex needs the Portuguese to dribble and break through at the right time, but he also needs the Portuguese to show off his beautiful shooting skills. Perhaps the reason why he is happy is that Ronaldo can increasingly share the pressure of Dong Fangzhuo's goal!

However, not all media praised Ronaldo, and the Mirror expressed different opinions on Ronaldo's performance: "There was a discordant competition within Manchester United, and Cristiano Ronaldo divided the number of shots and goals of the Manchester United captain. If you study carefully, you will find that in the first four league games of Manchester United this season, Ronaldo actually shot the most, and Ronaldo scored the most (5 goals with Dong Tong)."

"This is not the most important thing. What is important is that Ronaldo has become more and more selfish in the game. In this game of Tottenham, Ronaldo's two goals were scored at the best shot angle. You should know that when he scored two goals, Dong stood at an almost empty goal position waiting for him to pass the ball. However, Ronaldo got it himself in and ran to celebrate..."

Although the Mirror is a bit suspicious of being unmatched, the analysis is not unreasonable. As long as fans who have watched the replay of the goal can see that when Ronaldo shot, Dong Fangzhuo was indeed in a better position. If Ronaldo passed the ball over, Dong Fangzhuo would not say that he could score a goal 100%, but at least he could minimize the risk of not scoring.

The same opinion also includes the Daily Mail - "Looking at the cracks in the Manchester United locker room from the nuances, the Manchester United Trident is not as united as imagined." Then they also gave a special photo, and the expressions of Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney standing nearby at the moment Ronaldo scored...

Indeed, at that moment, Dong Fangzhuo and Rooney's faces were a little strange, but they were not as the Daily Mail said.

But to outsiders, it seems different, there is no wind or wave...

"Shit!" Ferguson finished reading all the newspapers in the office, and then threw away all the newspapers on the table in anger.

The media seems to be causing trouble for Manchester United again, when the Champions League is approaching...
