Romario is an important figure that "alien" Ronaldo cannot erase in the early stages of his playing career, not only did they leave behind the classic "Rollo combination", But Ronaldo also learned a lot from this predecessor. In the early morning of July 10, Beijing time, Ronaldo told in detail about his early career with the "lone wolf" partner and competition in his personal documentary: "Zagallo wants me to become a replica of Romario, and the two of us eventually became good partners, which is not expected by anyone." Bruno, a global sports journalist who has witnessed the birth and disappearance of the supergroup, also confirmed: "The old man (Zagaro) has the younger one to gradually replace the older one." ”
When Brazil reached the top for the fourth time at the World Cup in the United States, Zagallo took over the national team, and the veteran coach repeatedly claimed in front of reporters that Ronaldo, who had entered the five major leagues in Europe, had made great strides compared to before, and that Ronaldo was more active in the game in Eindhoven, which was undoubtedly a good sign for the defending champions Brazil. I believe everyone has heard it too - Zagaro praises youth as the place where "aliens" progress, which is Romario's strength. In fact, Lao Luo was not "old" at that time, and the old coach wanted to make Luo a replica of "lone wolf", to put it bluntly, he still couldn't stand the locker room contradictions that Romario might provoke at any time, so that the younger super shooter could replace the "big trouble" as soon as possible.
Bruno also added: "Can Ronnie be a replica of Romario? In fact, this is not a big impact on the Brazilian team's tactical system, but it has a big impact on the dressing room level. The author (old colleague said things) believes that the reason why the "Rollo combination" is classic is because many of the characteristics of "aliens" are the inheritors of "lone wolves", of course, the two super shooters also have complementary places, from the wide recognition of fans, the two Indian center forwards are unwilling to start at the same time from the position. Zagallo hopes that Da Luo will become a replica of Lao Luo, judging from the age difference between the two people, it should be the former as the successor of the latter's national team arrow figure, and indeed they can become such a classic partner, not expected by anyone.
It is worth mentioning that it was The champion of the 94 World Cup, Pereira, who proposed to let the two Luos be partnered, because the champion coach found a place where the "Luo Luo Combination" complemented. At that time, Ronaldo was young and active, with frequent possession and a good opportunity to score. If both strikers don't move, old fans know that the striker at the time waits for someone else to pass the ball, and there is no benefit at all. So this allows the "alien" to run a lot of range in his youth, and the bigger Romario can be in front of the front, the range of motion is slightly smaller, and that makes it easy for the opposing defender to steal the ball, creating the most threatening attack of the Brazilian team.
Of course, because during the World Cup in the United States, the underage Da Luo was too young to get the main position in the star-studded Samba Legion, so his chances of partnering with the "lone wolf" under Pereira were actually not. This unexpected classic combination was achieved in the hands of Zagaro, who "asked one to succeed the other". The veteran coach's move to re-recruit Romario to the national team during the World Cup qualifiers in France has also caused controversy, in fact, not because of the rumored "dressing room difficulties", but because the "lone wolf" was plagued by a thigh injury while playing in Flamengo. However, according to Zagallo's meaning, without the pressure of Lao Luo, it is difficult for Brazil to qualify from the World Cup South American qualifiers.
The author (old colleagues say things) also sees that although Zagallo and Lao Luo are not less red-faced, the two disagree in many aspects, and the former is also worried that the super big name will bring about locker room conflicts. However, on a tactical level, Zagaro always believes that Romario should participate in the World Cup more than other players (including Ronnie Bebeto). After the "Rollo combination" was effective, in fact, the veteran manager changed his view - bringing the "lone wolf" under his command can also reduce the pressure on the "aliens", because then the whole world will focus on the two Brazilian super shooters, rather than just the youngest world footballer alone, before in the Confederations Cup, Zagallo knew very well that Ronaldo was not very good at resisting pressure.
