The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Chapter 237 Paid the price

Ricardo's goal helped the team lead the opponent 3:0, but he was immediately sent to the hospital for examination.

Mancini held back his concern about Ricardo's injury and focused on the game in front of him. Although already leading by a large score, he still learned the lesson of being tied by Roma, replaced Ricardo with Van der Meyde, and continued to maintain the threat of the frontcourt, preventing Valencia from fully attacking.

However, in the 73rd minute of the game, Valencia still pulled back a goal.

It was "Joker" Aimar who scored the goal. This star was once one of the famous River Plate twin stars. He and Saviola were once considered the best successors to Maradona.

However, Saviola wasted years in a wealthy family, while Aimar took the lead in Valencia. The situation of the two is different.

Aimar is also Messi's idol. His style used to be very gorgeous and his feet were excellent. However, after years of immersion in La Liga, his skills have gradually become more practical.

This is the case for this goal. After breaking through on the right, Divayo successfully connected with Aimar and passed the ball to Aimar's feet.

Aimar dribbled past the ball, gracefully swung his little brother Burdisso past him in the national team, and fired the ball into the goal guarded by Fontana.

But this ball is not the clarion call to blow their counterattack, but the beginning of their nightmare.

Three minutes later, Adriano made a wonderful pass, and Van der Meyde scored after receiving the ball, extending the score to 4:1.

Another 2 minutes later, Adriano scored through C. Zanetti's cross.

In stoppage time, Stankovic dribbled into the penalty area and knocked across. Cruz, who replaced Adriano, scored an empty goal.

In the end, Inter Milan beat their opponent 6:1. This opponent is not a cat or a dog on the side of the road, but the La Liga champion of last season!

This game is also considered to be a manifestation of the superiority of Italian football over Spanish football.

The Marca newspaper said that "Inter Milan defeated the Spanish team in the way the Spanish team is best at". Inter Milan's skillful possession of the ball in this game and the flexible interspersed movement in the frontcourt are indeed very "Spanish".

Yet they also paid a price.

The news from the hospital: Ricardo dislocated his left shoulder joint and will be sidelined for 4-6 weeks.

The one who is most pleased with this news is none other than AC Milan. In the next round, they will challenge Inter Milan "away" and will not have to face Ricardo, a fiery striker.

"Honey, are you okay?" Stella's voice on the phone was full of worry.

Licado had already put on a brace for fixation at this time, and a plaster cast could not be applied for a shoulder joint injury, which was rather depressing.

Fortunately, it was just a dislocation, not an avulsion of the greater tuberosity, otherwise it would not be able to recover in 4-6 weeks.

"I'm fine," Licado said with a wry smile, "It's just a matter of time to rest, so I can spend time with you."

How could it be okay... It was when the state was at its hottest that it was suddenly interrupted. It is still unknown whether it will be able to regain the state and rhythm after the comeback.

After finally gaining a firm foothold and getting the main position, I am running in with the team. Now that I am injured, God knows if there is still a main position waiting for me after my comeback? Maybe Mancini will be fine with another lineup.

In short, this injury came at a really bad time.

Shi Dela comforted him with soft words and hung up the phone. Immediately afterwards, his agent Fabiano Farah, Ronaldo, and some friends from the media all called to inquire about the situation, and Ricardo replied in a unified tone with a smile: "I'm fine, don't worry."

After getting on the plane and turning off his mobile phone, he got some peace.

Just after getting off the plane and turning on the machine, he received another call from Mancini.

He was delayed for some time in the hospital for treatment, and the team had already returned to Milan. He originally thought that Mancini had already fallen asleep, but he did not expect that Mancini was still asleep at this time.

"Hi, Robert." Ricardo pressed the connect button.

"I've talked to Komby about your injury," Mancini asked with concern, "how are you feeling now?"

"Not bad," Licado smiled, "Thank you for your concern."

"What I want to tell you is, don't have a psychological burden. You have successfully left an impression in my heart. After you recover from injury, as long as you can maintain your current state, I will continue to give you opportunities."

"Thanks."

After a pause, perhaps because he felt that his previous words were weak, Mancini changed his words: "What I want to say is that I will let you start at the same time as Ronaldo and Adriano, and tailor tactics for the three of you. But you have to stay where you are."

Ricardo was finally moved: "I will work hard, Robert, thank you for your attention."

"You're welcome, you earned it all for yourself. Get some rest."

He scored 3 goals and 9 assists in 6 appearances in the league, and scored 5 goals and 2 assists in 3 appearances in the Champions League. Although Licardo is not complacent, he also feels that few people in this world can do this.

The number of goals is normal, but the number of assists is a bit exaggerated. The main reason is that he is too familiar with Ronaldo. He has watched countless Ronaldo game videos, and he knows how Ronaldo will move with his eyes closed, so he can often send just the right assists to Ronaldo.

After getting off the plane, Licado rented a car to go home.

The driver is a fan of AC Milan, but he also has a good impression of Ricardo, and he has been persuading Ricardo to abandon the dark and turn to the bright, and quickly transfer to AC Milan. When Licardo arrived at the door, he also asked Licardo for his signature, and then exempted Licardo from the fare.

To be honest, Ricardo would rather pay 10 times the fare than sign the autograph. But in order to maintain his personality, he still satisfied the wish of the AC Milan fan with a smile on his face, and insisted on giving the fare and tip.

"Honey, look at you," Shidela ran out, hugged Licado carefully, and looked at his left shoulder with heartache, "Does it hurt?"

"It's okay, didn't I tell you to sleep?"

"Knowing that you are injured, how could I possibly be able to sleep." Stella carefully helped Licado into the door.

Ricardo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't help me, I'm not that fragile, just a little injury."

"I know, you professional players will think it's a minor injury, but I think it's serious. It's not convenient for you to sleep at night, right?"

"The doctor said that sleeping during this time will be affected, and it will be fine next week."

"Are you hungry, I'll make you something to eat."

"No, hurry up and rest, you still have work tomorrow."

Riccardo just wanted to sleep with his head covered, although he knew very well that the pain in his shoulder would make him unable to sleep well for several nights in a row.

The only good news for him is that the shoulder injury will not affect his football career. If it is the knee joint, ankle joint, Achilles tendon and other parts of the injury, it is impossible for him to have such a relaxed state of mind.
