Chapter 430 Is it really worth it?
Recoba's incident was a hot topic, and something happened to the aliens. He was arraigned by a Brazilian court and had to fly back to Rio de Janeiro from Italy. Mourinho almost wanted to kill and was about to fight Roma on the weekend. At this critical moment, he called Inter Milan's best-in-form striker back to Brazil. This was simply a matter of wanting Inter Milan's life. Even if Ronaldo could come back on Sunday in time, could he ensure that he was in a state of appearance?
Mourinho even thinks that this may be a conspiracy of the Italian Football Association. Some people don’t want Inter Milan to win Rome?
The arraignment investigation is about why Ronaldo still participated in the competition despite being unwell during the 1998 World Cup final.
Before this, relevant Brazilian departments conducted an investigation into the contract signed between the Brazilian Football Association and sports clothing manufacturer Nike. It was found that according to this contract, Nike actually had the right to select at least 8 players from the participating teams.
In recent years, reports of suspected corruption in major national competitions in Brazil have been frequently seen in newspapers. For this reason, the Brazilian government has specially established a parliamentary investigation committee to investigate corruption.
The agreement between the Brazilian Football Association and Nike was signed in June 1996, requiring the Brazilian national team to participate in at least 50 friendly matches within 10 years, and each participating team must include the players selected by Nike.
The investigation committee also found that there was a clause in the agreement that the Brazilian Football Association must strictly keep secrets "public or media (including national, regional, local or commercial)" and shall not disclose the contents of the agreement to the outside world.
A Brazilian newspaper published a copy of the agreement. Article 8.4 of the agreement stipulates that during the agreement, the Brazilian Football Association will provide Nike with a starting lineup of at least 50 friendly matches for the national men's football team, with at least 3 games a year. Regarding the players participating, Nike emphasized in the agreement that "in each game, there will be at least 8 main players selected by Nike."
In addition, the agreement stipulates that Nike is responsible for organizing these competitions and enjoys exclusive rights in commercial activities, sponsorship, authorization, ticketing and merchandise sales. The agreement is 10 years, and the Brazilian Football Association will receive US$12 million from Nike.
After the agreement was separated, it immediately caused an uproar in Brazil, and politicians accused the national team of "kidnapping by this agreement."
The case attracted greater interest when Ronaldo appeared in court.
"There is no so-called truth, it is the media and people who over-interpret this matter."
Ronaldo stood in front of the court and was obviously disappointed. This was one of the things he didn't want to recall the most, not because he had a strange disease, but because he lost the Hercules Cup!
"I had a twitch before the game, my teammates were around, but no one came to tell me what was going on. I decided to take a break after lunch, and the last thing I could remember was going to bed."
"After I asked them if I could go somewhere else, and Leonardo came over and told me to let me go for a walk with him in the hotel garden. He explained everything to me and told me that I might not be able to play in the finals."
"I had a basic physical examination and there was no abnormality. Then we set off to the court. I took the test report given to me by the doctor and found Zagalo. I told him, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine, this is the test report, I feel good, I want to play."
"He had no choice but to accept my decision, so I came on the stage. Maybe my performance affected the team, but that twitch was really scary, and that kind of thing didn't happen every day."
"For me, I don't want to miss the finals, I have a responsibility to my country, it's a great honor to play, I think I can. But obviously it's not the best game in my career, but I've finished my role there."
“That’s all about it.”
This is the fact that there is no more, but in society, it is not that simple, and there are many versions circulating.
For example, the FIFA conspiracy. Although it seems ridiculous, according to an anonymous email from Global TV, Brazil sold the World Cup to FIFA at the cost of "23 million US dollars". The email also showed that the purpose of doing so was to allow France to win the World Cup, so as to please the new FIFA president Blatt, and help France solve some social problems. FIFA also promised Brazil that it would "pave the way" for Brazil to win the 2002 World Cup, and that Brazil will hold a World Cup in the future...
Another example is the theory of neurasthenia. A domestic newspaper in Brazil said that Ronaldo had a mental breakdown during the World Cup. Sao Paulo media said that Ronaldo had signs of depression a week before the final, and he even threw a bicycle on the wall. The night before the final, Ronaldo experienced an abnormal "crisis". Toledo walked into the room and left crying, but because of concerns about the stimulant problem, Ronaldo did not receive any medication.
The media also said that technical coordinator Zko firmly opposed letting Ronaldo play. The Brazilian team chose an abnormal way to leave the hotel and headed to the stadium. During the warm-up, there were no abnormal behaviors between the players, but according to relevant information, there were actually differences within the Brazilian team. One faction was a group led by Dunga and the other was an opposition led by Leonardo.
The theory of fatal injection. George Cajuru, a media person who has always been radical, raised a new clue: Ronaldo had an allergic reaction to the drug injected by Doctor Toledo in his knee, and Ronaldo expressed concern. It is said that Ronaldo had been injecting analgesics into his injured right knee during the World Cup and received anti-inflammatory treatment until he was still receiving treatment seven hours before the final. Toledo gave 8 injections in total, and there was no situation in the first seven times. Until the eighth injection before the game, there was side effects. But Cajuru's rhetoric did not gain widespread trust. After all, he always showed his words as "unrestrained", but no one came out to deny his statement.
The theory of girlfriend cheating. It is said that Ronaldo suddenly had a situation because he learned during the World Cup that his girlfriend Susanna cheated with a Brazilian TV reporter, which made Ronaldo's spirit collapse. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he could never get rid of the impact of this incident, especially in the heavy pressure of the World Cup final.
Ronaldo finally rushed back to Milan at 12 noon on Sunday. He was still surrounded by paparazzi with a tired face. It seemed that everyone wanted to dig out some news. Of course, Ronaldo was not in the mood. Now he just wanted to go back to the dormitory of the Pinetina base to rest for a few hours, and then catch up with the game at 6 o'clock tonight.
Rarely, he pushed away the reporter group, got into the taxi, and returned to the dormitory.
"Ronnie."
"You look tired."
Zheng Zhi was originally lying on the bed reading a book. When he saw Ronaldo coming back, he put down the book and poured Ronaldo a glass of boiling water.
"Thank you," Ronaldo took a few sips and hid beside the bed with a look of fatigue.
It’s a long-distance flight, of course I’m tired, but more of it’s tired.
"Zheng,"
Ronaldo spoke again, his eyes lit up a lot.
"If you lost the Olympic final this summer, do you think you will be sad now?"
Zheng Zhi was slightly stunned, thought for a few seconds, then nodded, "I think this time is definitely not something I can let go. It may even take ten, twenty years, or even a lifetime. As long as you recall it, it will be very painful. It's a pity... Do you remember the 1998 World Cup?"
"Man, if you want to make yourself not suffer, you are going to win the next final so that you won't be too sad. Isn't 2002 your best chance?"
Ronaldo sat on the edge of the bed and looked out the bright window, "Yes, I will no longer be sad only by winning the next final. I am more than anyone else. I must win the Hercules Cup! The only thing I expect now is that I will never have any major injuries, and I don't want to miss any final."
"Um,"
"Then you have to take good care of your body. You can't always go to nightclubs. Injuries are the natural enemies of athletes. If you don't respect enough and don't love yourself well, then one day, it will come quietly again. This is also the reason why I work so hard every day, because I don't want to experience injuries or failure." Zheng Zhi's eyes also fell out the window and flew to the distant east.
He can't wait to participate in the Asian Cup now.
He doesn't want to be as painful as Ronaldo, he wants the Asian Cup!

With 9 goals in 3 games, Roma ranks second among the 18 teams in the Serie A, second only to Inter Milan, which has 14 goals in 3 games.
With more goals, more scorers. Toti and Batistuta tied for second place in the scorer list with 3 goals. Montera and delvicio, who competed for the main position, also scored goals. Roma's captain Toti scored goals in three games. It is worth mentioning that after 3 games, Capello's team only conceded 1 goal, just like Inter Milan, is one of the teams with the least goals so far. Last season, Roma scored 5 points in the first three games, and now Roma wins 3 games, and it is the first time that it scored the top spot in 6 years.
No wonder Rome President Senci praised his team, saying: "This year's start is a good start."
After watching the Arc Milan and Juventus dominate the Serie A for more than 10 years, after his old rival Lazio won the second league championship and was on par with Roma in terms of the number of championships, Sensi finally felt that the team was strong. When the team arrived in Milan City, Sensi couldn't wait to say:
"We can bring honor to Rome, and the capital of Italy will also become Italy's football capital, but this time the honor belongs to Rome, not Lazio."
Sensi's reason for saying this is that after the awesome Batistuta, he still has the card Emerson to play. "You always say that Roma has insufficient potential in the late league, and Emerson is our potential this season. He just became an EU player this Tuesday. Emerson is Italian, because Emerson's wife's grandparents are Sicilian."
Capello has been repeated twice in AC Milan for the first three league games. Of course, Senci hopes Capello can reproduce all this in Rome. To do this, there must be a prerequisite, that is, Capello stays in Rome. It is no secret that the FA of England and Capello contacted Capello. It is no secret that Barcelona's boss has seen Capello in Rome. It is also well known to everyone that Senci knows that he has to hurry up.
But Senci has done a critical step. Capello verbally agreed to renew his contract with Roma for three years, and the rest is just a salary issue. This is easy to say. After offering Batistuta a huge annual salary of 5.1 million US dollars and meeting Toti's annual requirements of 5.5 million US dollars, when Senci began to feel that spending a large price would also benefit, as long as Capello had good grades, Senci didn't care much about how much it cost.
Senci declared: "The club renewed the contract with Totti is just to complete the procedures, and the money is not a problem at all." Senci also knew very well that the Roma without Totti was simply unimaginable: "Torti is a symbol of Roma, and more importantly, he is a symbol of Roma rather than Lazio. Totti stayed in the Roma Club and maintained a good upward momentum for the club listed stocks. I hope we can reach a consensus and hope he can understand that his role is not just to play football. I hope that through our open and honest interviews, we will eliminate the misunderstandings and barriers between us, and add the terms of never going to Lazio to the contract."
Senci also quietly completed the contract renewal with Delvicio on Tuesday. Delvicio's new contract will be until 2005. Before the contract renewal, Delvicio's salary was the lowest, with an annual salary of only $730,000. His new salary, the club of Rome has not yet been announced.
At the same time, Montera and Capello's problems have improved due to the improvement of their performance. Senci has officially rejected Inter Milan's invitation to Montera, and Capello has found a new position for Montera. With Bati as the front, Montera can retreat to a forward-breaking forward, allowing Toti or Delvicio to act as the second forward. In Capello's view, Montera himself is also the second forward.
The only thing that I am not satisfied with now is Hideho Nakada. The Japanese gave up the Asian Cup for Serie A, but he was tired of the audience, but Capello was helpless. Hideho Nakada cannot be ranked now...
Although the Asian Cup is about to start, many Japanese media reporters are still tracking and reporting on Nakada Hideho in Italy. They surrounded Rome coach Capello.
"Will Hideho Nakada get the starter?"
"Will Nakada Hideho get playing time?"
"Did you buy Hideho Nakata to let him see the water dispenser?"
"Why don't you give Nakada Hideho a chance to play?"
One tricky question was thrown to Capello.
Capello was uncomfortable sitting at the press conference. The press conference that had been nearly an hour ago was compressed by him for 10 minutes, and finally ended up in disagreement.
The Japanese media reporter who did not get the answer was still standing there, his eyes full of confusion and anger.
"Is it really worth it that Nakata gave up the Asian Cup for Rome?"
"Look at Zheng Zhi, they are still going to represent China in the competition!"
"Japan is probably hanging again in the Asian Cup, but almost all overseas players of the Chinese team have gone back!"
