Start from 1999

Chapter 257
Entering February, Borussia Mönchengladbach first reported to UEFA three players who participated in the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage: Ronaldinho, Huntelaar and Cui Yongzhu.

Due to the transfer of Trezeguet and others, Borussia Mönchengladbach must report 3 players to participate in the second stage of the Champions League group stage.

Of course, Trezeguet and others will not be able to participate in the UEFA Champions League on behalf of the new club. This is why there will not be a large number of player transactions during the winter break. Trezeguet’s new club, Juventus, will meet Borussia Mönchengladbach. At that time, Trezeguet can only spend time in the stands.

Nick's mood has improved surprisingly recently. Originally, the departure of Trezeguet and others made Nick very sad. After all, he had to fight on the third front. The lack of these stars caused a huge loss to the team's strength.

However, the arrival of Ronaldinho allowed Nick to see another way out for the team. Ronaldinho's skills are very good. He can organize and score.

Coupled with Micoud and his own skills, Borussia Mönchengladbach's cooperation in the midfield is even stronger.

It can be said that Ronaldinho can be used as two players. As long as there are excellent shooters around him, he can create a lot of space.

And Ilye happened to be such a shooter. In training, Ilye simply regarded the goal as if he was picking something out of a bag, and he played very easily.

Even Cui Yongzhu, the center, can get a lot of shooting opportunities.

Therefore, Ronaldinho is actually equivalent to a point forward.

With Ronaldinho, Borussia Mönchengladbach's strength continues unabated.

On February 2th, the Rhein Derby started, and Borussia Mönchengladbach played away with Cologne.

科隆队本赛季表现不错，在中国双子星商一和赵俊哲的带领下，科隆队在前19轮8胜2平9负拿到了26分，现在排在第8.
However, this game showed the strength gap between the two teams. Under the control of Nick, Micoud and Ronaldinho, the game lost suspense at the beginning.

In the 4th minute, Ronaldinho received a through ball from Micoud and knocked down the central defender of the Cologne team in the penalty area and scored with a short shot.

Ronaldinho was very excited and ran to the sidelines to interact with Borussia Mönchengladbach fans. After scoring a goal in the derby, Ronaldinho immediately won the hearts of the fans. Almost 90% of Borussia Mönchengladbach fans immediately forgot about Trezeguet.

The Cologne fans hated Ronaldinho's shit. The rivals can always buy excellent players, which makes the Cologne fans very jealous. At the same time, the Cologne fans are full of resentment towards the Cologne club executives. Why doesn't the team they support just buy a few more capable stars back?
Before the Cologne fans could recover, Ronaldinho entered the penalty area again in the 9th minute. This time he made a false pass, and Illie, who received the ball, kicked quickly. Before Cologne goalkeeper Chris could react, the ball went into the goal again.

Such a quick two-goal lead made Borussia Mönchengladbach fans overjoyed. The chemical reaction brought by Ronaldinho was simply amazing. And when he first arrived, he could quickly adapt to the Bundesliga. Is it because the level of the Bundesliga is too low or Ronaldinho is too high?

Seeing Ronaldinho's performance like this, Nick didn't bother to step forward to assist. He was more organized in the backcourt. Such days are simply too leisurely.

The Köln team failed to turn around and was led by Borussia Mönchengladbach. The final result of the game was 5:0. Illie scored two consecutive hat-tricks, while Ronaldinho was brilliant, with one goal and four assists, becoming the best player in the game.

Ronaldinho's performance immediately won the exclamation of the German media.

"Bild" believes that Borussia Mönchengladbach once again showed their unique vision in the transfer market. Ronaldinho's performance is world-class.

"Kicker" gave Ronaldinho a game-high 1 point, which is undoubtedly an excellent affirmation to Ronaldinho.

The "Munich Daily" is worried about Bayern's prospects, because the opponent is getting stronger and stronger.

Brazil's domestic media also paid attention to Ronaldinho's performance, and praised Ronaldinho's outstanding performance. At the same time, they were also happy for the addition of a talented player to the Brazilian national team.

Of course, there are also people who are unhappy. The owner of Gremio Football Club is very unhappy. Such a good player has only been sold for 500 million euros.

And Borussia Mönchengladbach's opponents are also concerned about Borussia Mönchengladbach's performance, especially the three opponents in the Champions League sent club staff to the Rhein Energy Stadium to observe, and the result naturally surprised them.

Borussia Mönchengladbach's performance also stimulated other Bundesliga teams, Bayern, Hertha Berlin and Borussia Dortmund also scored high scores in this round, especially Bayern defeated Wolfsburg 4:1 away with the help of Larsson's hat-trick.

Such a Bundesliga structure is extremely beneficial to the development of the Bundesliga, especially in the competition for European places. The better the league develops, the more it can be recognized by UEFA and get more places to participate, thereby stimulating the development of the domestic league.

A week later, in the 21st round of the Bundesliga, Borussia Mönchengladbach returned home and defeated Bielefeld with a clean 3:0. Although Ronaldinho did not score, his support and passing in the frontcourt benefited his teammates. Illier scored twice and scored the eighth goal in the last three rounds of the league. He has now become the focus of attention of the major giants.

But in this way, the other players of Borussia Mönchengladbach became calm instead, and Nick didn't have a single goal or assist. He organized the defense leisurely in the backcourt. This time, Nick also faded out of the media's attention, but he was happy for a few days.

Ronaldinho is very satisfied with his success under the spotlight. Brazilian players have always been extroverted. Although Ronaldinho is a newcomer, he quickly became a familiar face in front of media reporters.

What Nick admired the most was that this big buck-tooth actually got the Japanese female reporter Matsushita Shizuko who had frequently discharged her in the past.

This is really the combination of Beauty and the Beast. Shizuko Matsushita has finally caught a star, and it seems that her road to fame is about to begin.

Ronaldinho played football and picked up girls. In the 22nd round away game against Cottbus, Ronaldinho staged a hat-trick of assists to help the team beat Cottbus 4:0.

第23轮，小罗又进2球助攻2球帮助球队4:1击败慕尼黑1860，如此火爆的状态很快就让小罗成了整个欧洲乃至世界足坛的当红辣子鸡。

It took only 5 rounds of matches to make a sensation in the world of football. The speed at which Ronaldinho became popular is rare in the world. Even Nick, he is not as popular as Ronaldinho.

The pair of scissors cut Borussia Mönchengladbach down ten thousand times in February, and the silk ribbons were shiny green. A team of Borussia Mönchengladbach in this state has simply changed the color of European football, and the upcoming second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage will also really test Ronaldinho and Borussia Mönchengladbach!
