Chapter 42: The Fall of Ronaldo

Ronaldo's shrill scream seemed to be split in everyone's heart, and also tore the dark sky of San Siro.

Just 48 hours after the match with Siena, AC Milan welcomed Livorno at home. This was the 16th round rematch due to the Club World Cup last year. The interval was too short, and the opponent was not a strong opponent.

Milan responded with most of the starting substitutes. The striker Guitao partnered with Pawlowski, the midfielder Gourcuff, Seedorf, Emerson, Ambrosini, and the defense coil Bozefa

Zhuo Yang, who was warming up, rushed to the sidelines and looked nervously at Ronaldo lying on the ground, his eyes full of sadness. He finally knew why he had always had an ominous premonition in the past two days.

Yesterday morning, when the Milan team attended the salon of the fashion brand Dolce/Gabbana and took pictures for the calendar, Zhuo Yang felt very uncomfortable, but he didn't know why. In the calendar, Zhuo Yang and Kaladze were naked

It’s August, while Ronaldo and Simic are in a bleak November.

Zhuoyang has been in professional football for six years, but he has never heard such a frightening scream. It is a desperate cry for help from the soul. Even though they are so far apart, Ronaldo's voice seems to be in his ears.

.

Last night when they were staying together in Milanello, Zhuo Yang went to the apartment next door to visit. He sat cross-legged on the sofa and said to Ronaldo half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Ronnie, don't be in a hurry to play. I feel almost done. There are many players this season."

Take a break, let’s work hard together next season.”

Ronaldo stroked his wet hair: "I feel almost done. I've had enough rest. I'm going to do it hard now."

In this game, AC Milan did not play smoothly. They had the advantage in the first half but could not bear fruit. Instead, they were attacked by Livorno midfielder Parzetti at the beginning of the second half. But the team and the home court

Fans are not worried about falling behind because the bench is neatly filled with strategic nuclear weapons such as Ronaldo, Zhuo Yang, Inzaghi and Pirlo.

From the 56th minute, Ancelotti sent out Ronaldo and Inzaghi at the same time, replacing Gilardino and Pawlowski. Others also started to warm up non-stop. Ancelotti was still considering whether to send Pirlo or Zhuo Yang.

After the battle, something happened on the field.

Zhuoyang was about to violate the rules of the court and run up with the team doctor to Ronaldo. His screams were still heartbreaking. Coach Ancelotti stopped him: Come on and replace Ronaldo.

Only 120 seconds after Ronaldo came on the field, tragedy happened. Odo made a pass from the right, and Ronaldo and Galante, who was guarding him, jumped together. Galante did not make any unnecessary fouls, and the football did not fly towards them.

, the physical confrontation between the two of them was not intense at all.

After landing, Ronaldo let out a pitiful cry for help, and the sharp pain in his left knee felt like a mountain falling apart.

Everyone, the players and coaches of both teams in San Sirori, the fans, and even the global audience who were watching the live broadcast, were frightened by this scene. Ronaldo hugged his knees and huddled on the cold grass, with an expression of pain and despair, and was shaking violently.

The body makes everyone worried.

The referee on the sidelines raised the electronic sign indicating that No. 18 had been replaced by No. 99. It was less than five minutes since No. 99 had replaced No. 11.

They are all people who have been engaged in professional football for many years. Ancelotti did not need the confirmation of the team doctor to know that this time Ronaldo not only could not play again, but also probably could not recover. He was hugging his left knee. Everyone

Everyone knows that Ronaldo has had seven or eight surgeries on his legs, but the three most serious injuries before were all on his right knee. In 1995 at Eindhoven, and in 2000 when he was at Inter Milan, he had two consecutive right knee surgeries within six months.

.

In a matter of seconds, the 32-year-old Ronaldo fell on his left knee this time. His left knee also underwent surgery once after the World Cup in the summer of 2006, that time to remove a bone spur inside.

Ronaldo on the stretcher was covered by a thick and warm blanket, even covering half of his face, but Zhuo Yang could still see the tears rolling down his cheeks covered by his hands. At this time, Zhuo Yang didn't even dare to get close.

, he was afraid of getting too close to this desperate atmosphere.

In the suffocating silence of the entire stadium, the rotating and flashing lights of the ambulance seemed to pierce the dark night sky of Milan. The heavy and oppressive atmosphere of the stadium did not slowly return to the noise until Zhuo Yang scored the penalty kick.

The referee Bridger awarded a penalty kick not because Ronaldo was violated. Fabio Galante was just a normal confrontational action, nothing excessive. He had been teammates with Ronaldo for 4 years in Inter Milan.

Ronaldo's shrill screams shocked Portuguese midfielder Vidigal, and the flying football hit his outstretched arm.

Bridge awarded a penalty kick, and the Livorno people did not protest. If there was no penalty, the Milan people would not have the slightest emotion, because no one would care anymore because Ronaldo was injured.

There were more than 60,000 people in San Siro and the 22 people on the grass were not interested in fighting. The 1:1 score was the most insignificant thing tonight.

After the game, Zhuoyang and seven or eight teammates including Maldini, Dida, Cafu, Emerson and Bird hurried to Milanello, while Kaka and Pato, who were not included in today's game roster, were already there.

We are at the Milan laboratory. Leonardo, the department manager, came with us in the ambulance just now.

The examination results have come out. Ronaldo's patellar tendon in his left knee was completely ruptured, exactly the same as the one eight years ago. The surgical scar left on his right knee is still shocking and hideous.

Dr. Niernino told everyone that this time is very troublesome. If the operation is successful, Ronaldo will need 9 to 12 months to recover before he can start playing football again.

Ronaldo had stopped crying. He sat there with a pale face and let the medical staff give him temporary pain relief and protective measures. After everything was done, everyone went over to comfort him. They didn’t know what to say, Ronaldo

There was no response to anyone.

Last summer, Ronaldo grew his hair again. He said he planned to have medium-long hair like Zhuo Yang. In fact, he was not bald at all, and his hair grew very thick. After more than half a year, he had a prosperous hair on top of his head.

The rolls look very much like corn steaks (Zhuo Yang said), and the person looks much younger.

Ronaldo was sitting on the sofa, with his right leg hanging on the ground, his left leg stretched flat and supported by a bracket, and his knee joint was thickly wrapped. Zhuo Yang walked to him: "Ronnie..."

Ronaldo, who didn't respond to anyone's comfort, tilted his head and looked at Zhuoyang like a stranger.

"Are you proud that you were right? Can you justifiably accuse me of not listening to your advice and rushing to play the game?"

"Ronnie..."

"I know I'm done. No one knows what's going on better than myself. I'm done. I can no longer play Ronaldo's football. I was wrong. Everyone of you is right. Only I am wrong. This

The football world no longer needs Ronaldo, I was abandoned."

"There will be no Ronaldo in the future, there will only be Ronaldinho, there will only be Zhuoyang, Kaka, Ronaldo is dead. Do you know, Ronaldo is dead..."
