On July 23rd, 2008, AC Milan and the sponsor Adidas released the jerseys for the new season. Compared with the styles in recent years, the new jerseys have not changed much, but the banners are a little wider and the neckline is round, and so on. At the jersey release ceremony, Nesta, Kaka and Seedorf became the models of the show. The media pays more attention to the number of jerseys, and the dispute between Ronaldinho and Seedorf is the focus.
However, all the noise came to an end when Seedorf picked up the No.80 jersey with Ronaldinho's name printed on its back. Seedorf's 10 jersey obviously has no intention of being transferred to others.
Ronaldinho has chosen the No.80 jersey, instead of grabbing the number 10 as reported recently, or choosing the number 1 1 worn by the Brazilian national team before. "80" means he was born in 1980. Galliani also made it clear: "AC Milan has never forced players to give up their jersey numbers, which has been the case for 23 years, so we have not conducted any' negotiations'. I believe Ronaldinho didn't ask for this shirt from any personal point of view. To put it bluntly, in that case, it would be a disrespect. "
At the press conference, Kaka symbolically gave Galliani a No.9 shirt with Galliani's name on it. Suddenly, Kaka turned to the reporter with a smile and said, "Do you know why it is not 10? Because 10 has an owner. " Although the marketing plan of "R 10" has some troubles in the number of jerseys, according to the analysis of the marketing department, the marketing strategy of "R 10" is not necessarily aimed at jerseys, and other aspects will not stop. The number is just a symbol.
No, just a few hours after the number of No.80 jersey was announced and the jersey was released, the online order for No.80 jersey in Milan has reached more than1.1. The Ronaldinho effect is more effective in season tickets, and 25,000 season tickets have been sold. As you can imagine, through the performance of the Olympic Games and the results of the next series of warm-up matches of AC Milan, season tickets will reach the level of last year in this season without the Champions League. Last year, as a European champion, the season ticket order for the same period was 23,000.
Of course, fans are more looking forward to Ronaldinho's goal. Ronaldinho scored his first goal in AC Milan in an 8-8 training match at the end of training last Sunday. Oddo crosses, Ronaldinho pretends to attack Karachi and drives the ball into the upper corner of the gate. It was originally an ordinary training goal, but because it was Ronaldinho's goal, the cheers and cheers of fans on the sidelines and outside the wall made people feel that this was a formal game. At the last moment, Ancelotti seems to be planning to continue giving gifts to the fans, and specially arranged free kick training on the edge of the restricted area. Seedorf, Oddo and Ronaldinho all participated.
Brazilian star shot 10, three of them broke through the gate guarded by abbiati, and the other three hit the crossbar, and the fans' emotions were mobilized again. Ronaldinho looks very happy, too, and has been waving to the fans outside the stadium. Ancelotti said: "Ronaldinho is a shy player.". He even tiptoed when he came out. I can feel that he got a lot of motivation from AC Milan, especially after staying in Barcelona for a few months. "
Lost to Seedorf in the training match.
In July 2008, on 2 1, Ronaldinho immediately threw himself into Milan's training, which the fans didn't want to miss. Early in the morning, thousands of fans gathered around Milanello base and looked at the star figure through the highland outside the wall. Ronaldinho arrived at Milanello at 9: 30. After a simple test in the morning, he began to train in the gym. The real climax and highlight is the afternoon training and training match with the ball.
At 5 pm, Ronaldinho and his teammates appeared on the training ground, and several feet touched the ball, and the fans cheered loudly. First of all, in tennis and football, Ronaldinho's personal skills are outstanding and he has never let the ball land. Ronaldinho only hit the post once in the 8-to-8 10 foot pass and make-up shot, but obviously he didn't cooperate enough with his teammates. Small-scale cooperation is good, but there are some problems at a long distance. In the last 9-9 half game, Ronaldinho and Inzaghi lost to Seedorf's team 3-5. The Dutchman still performed well under the influence of the recent ownership problem of the 10 jersey, and both of them performed hat tricks like Inzaghi. The confrontation or cooperation between the two "10" is likely to be the key point that Ancelotti needs to solve in the future.
Last Saturday's training content, Ronaldinho mainly focused on the gym for physical recovery, and his stomach was long gone. The goal given by Milan Lab is to lose a few kilograms and reach the standard completely. On the issue of going to the Olympic Games, Ronaldinho made it clear: "This trip will not cause any loss to AC Milan, and I believe it is also a good opportunity for me to find my state again and make contributions to Milan."
Rosidov's "first encounter" AC Milan's two superstars are thus * * * integrated.
On July 18, 2008, Ronaldinho entered Milanello for the first time as a player of AC Milan Club. When he arrived at the club restaurant, his new teammate had just finished lunch. When the former Golden Globe winner entered the restaurant, he first stood up to greet him. Dutchman clarence seedorf has been very uncertain in recent months whether Ronaldinho will join us. Although Seedorf's position in AC Milan Club has become very delicate recently, yesterday at Milanello's restaurant, he proved that there was no personal contradiction between himself and the Brazilian, dispelling the malicious speculation that he and Ronaldinho would have a cold war.
After Ronaldinho entered Milanello's restaurant, Seedorf, who had just finished eating, was the first to stand up and hug him and gave him a welcome speech. Although I just said hello in a hurry, everything went very seriously. All the people present who witnessed the two exchanged greetings swore that they immediately established a friendly atmosphere. In Ronaldinho's first official speech after arriving at Milanello, he particularly emphasized that he was looking forward to playing with his Brazilian compatriots and other "all the excellent players of AC Milan", which was a clear response to the expression that all the stars of the club opened their arms to him.
Of course, Ronaldinho still misses it from the bottom of his heart and can ask Seedorf for the 10 jersey. AC Milan, in fact, has decided to respect the current number, so Ronaldinho may get the jersey 1 1, which was left by Gilardino who just moved to Florence. This is reminiscent of the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, when rivaldo wore the jersey 10, Ronaldinho also chose the jersey 1 1.
In order to make the Dutch and Ronaldinho have more empathy for honor and disgrace, Ronaldinho's assistants are considering letting their foundations-the Children's Champions Cup founded by Seedorf and the Ronaldinho Cowboy Foundation for poor children in his hometown of Porto Alegre-jointly organize a charity event. Of course, Ronaldinho's obsession with the 10 jersey is not only due to his feelings for this number, but also to another more practical economic consideration. It is no accident that the name of the economic company responsible for managing his personal portrait right is R 10. Now, this brand has considerable economic benefits all over the world.
It's hard to predict the outcome of this jersey battle, but one thing is certain, at least the initial contact between the two sides is very positive. What needs to be done now is to pay attention to the next trend. In any case, Ronaldinho's first day at Milanello was very relaxed and happy, and his initial physical examination results were "very good". On Thursday, the Brazilian superstar will undergo further rigorous physical examination.
