Originally Ronaldo s partner, he lives in the shadow of Vieri, and his genius is not lucky.

At the request of my friends, let’s talk about the handsome and capable Ventura.

Nikola Ventola was born on May 24, 1978 in Grumo Apula. In this place, the football atmosphere is quite strong, but there is no well-known football club. As for the most famous football club nearby, it is the Barry Club, which is only a few kilometers away. So it is not surprising that Ventola started her football career at the Barry Club.

Although the Barry Club is not strong, the ability to train newcomers is quite good. Take the 1990s for example. Ventola and Casano, two different types of strikers, were trained by Barry. However, Ventola was 4 years older than Casano, and Ventola became famous earlier and left the team earlier, so the two basically had no intersection... As early as the second half of 1994, Ventola, who was only 16 years old at the time, not only promoted to the first team of Bari, but also got the opportunity to make a debut in the Serie A. However, the fledgling Ventola is indeed too young and it is difficult to deal with the experienced central defenders in the Serie A arena. He played as a substitute for a period of time, became Barry's main striker in the 1996-97 season, and also paid a data sheet of 10 league goals in a single season, becoming a recognized genius star in Italian football, attracting the attention of many strong teams.

With the financial resources and competitiveness of the Barry team, they are destined to be unable to retain superstars. By the summer of 1998, Ventola changed his family and transferred to Inter Milan. Why did Ventola, a local Italian genius, choose Inter Milan instead of other clubs? The key factor is that Inter Milan showed great sincerity during the transfer negotiations, and they directly handed over the No. 11 jersey to Ventola.

When you see this, you may be confused. Because in terms of Inter Milan's history, the No. 11 jersey is not a very symbolic jersey. So it seems that Ventora has no point in wearing Inter Milan No. 11 player.

If you look at the team history alone, it really doesn't make any sense. However, if we change the perspective and directly consider Inter Milan's situation at that time and directly consider the number attribution of Inter Milan at that time, it is not difficult to see Inter Milan's sincerity. You should know that the two numbers before No. 11, namely No. 9 and No. 10, belonged to Ronaldo and Baggio respectively at that time.

Under this background, Inter Milan's intention is actually very obvious, which is to create a frontcourt trident for Ronaldo, Baggio and Ventola. These three players are very complementary in theory. Ronaldo's speed, Baggio's creativity, and Ventora's impact, basically have no shortcomings...

In fact, in the early days when Ventora joined Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri was indeed vigorously cultivating him. This can be seen from Ventola's appearance time. And, Ronaldo, who was already the superstar of the emperor at that time, took great care of Ventola's partner.

According to Ventora himself, after a daily training, Ronaldo not only took the initiative to stay, but also suggested that Ventoraga practice free kicks. When the pair won a free kick in the official game, Ronaldo took the initiative to provide cover for Ventola. The Brazilian superstar stood in front of the ball but did not choose to shoot directly, but knocked the ball to Ventola, and Ventola completed the shot.

From this past, it is not difficult to see that Ronaldo is indeed willing to take Ventola to play together. If this trend continues to develop, with Ronaldo's comprehensiveness and deterrence, as long as Ventola works hard enough, it will not be difficult to kick it out.

However, the pair's luck is really bad. Not long after they joined forces, Ronaldo encountered injuries. And the Inter Milan team at that time relied on this Brazilian superstar. After Ronaldo was injured, Inter Milan's record declined sharply.

If this happens, the head coach will be in trouble. In the 1998-99 season, the Nerazzurri changed coaches halfway due to their decline in record performance. This has affected the stability of the lineup and the continuity of tactics. Even if he is as powerful as Baggio, he will still be unlucky because of changing his coach, let alone Ventola...

By the summer of 1999, Inter Milan invited a generation of famous coach Lippi. A few days after Lippi took over the Blue and Black Army, he spent a huge amount of money to invite his old subordinate Vieri.

If you stand on the club's standpoint, then Inter Milan's transaction to introduce Vieri will definitely be considered a success. But from Ventola's perspective, that's another matter. These two forwards have similar styles and are both centers with strong impact. However, Ventola's ability in every aspect is not as good as Vieri. This is destined. Ventola, who was originally Ronaldo's partner, could only live in the shadow of Vieri.

In the next 1999-00 season, Ventola was in a rather awkward situation at Inter Milan and was once loaned to Bologna. In the following season 2000-01, Ventola played for Atlanta as a loan player. Fortunately, this Italian local genius does have real talents and knowledge. He scored double-digit league goals during his time in Atlanta, which once again impressed Inter Milan and returned to Meacha in the summer of 2001.

At this time, Inter Milan theoretically had a historical front combination between Ronaldo and Vieri. However, the two of them are not in good health and missed many games. Against this background, Ventola and Caron once became Inter Milan's main striker, helping the Nerazzurri lead the standings.

However, Ventola and Caron, both their personal strength and status, are obviously not as good as Vieri and Ronaldo. So when Vieri returns from injury, Ventola can only sit on the bench. By the time Ronaldo returns to the stadium, Caron can only hand over the main seat...

This is unlucky enough, but unexpectedly, something even more unlucky is still to come. In the following 2002-03 season, Ventola was trapped by injury and could only stay away from the court. Over the whole season, he played in the Serie A 0 times without any presence, and he was not even a substitute player. In the summer of 2003, Inter Milan introduced Cruise, and Ventola had to leave the team. He was only 25 years old at this time, and in theory he still had plenty of time to prove himself. However, the years of playing for Inter Milan have completely lost their spirits. Coupled with the trouble of injuries, this Italian genius has gradually become a popular person.

Looking at Ventola's career as a player, his talent is unquestionable. The 16-year-old plays Serie A and 19-year-old scores in double-digit league goals are all proof of genius. It’s a pity that no matter how genius is, it can’t stand the bad luck. Not long after he joined Inter Milan, his forward partner Ronaldo was unfortunately injured, triggering a series of chain reactions. And Vieri's arrival made Ventola even worse...
