The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Chapter 204: A Good Start

As the game drew to a close, the players from both sides competed more fiercely, many players received yellow cards, and the rough style of the South American players was clearly seen.

Ricardo was also kicked down several times, but fortunately, his resistance ability has improved in the past six months, and he has also paid more attention to protecting himself, so he won't be injured.

He is still actively running, looking for opportunities.

This age is the age at which physical fitness grows fastest, so after half a year of hard training, Ricardo's speed, physical fitness, and strength have all improved, and he is now a strong Intercontinental player. However, there is still a short distance from his original goal of becoming the pinnacle of the intercontinental level.

This is also helpless.

If he wants to become the pinnacle of the intercontinental level or even the world level, now he has three paths.

One way is to strengthen his body, but after all, he is still too young, and his muscles and bones are far from mature. If he wants to improve his physical fitness to the world class, at least he has to wait until he is 22 or 23 years old.

Another way is to improve various skills through technical training, and his various skills are actually very good. If he wants to improve further, he will make a big step forward. It will take several years or even ten years of hard work, and it cannot be achieved overnight. .

The third way is to increase game experience and improve "ball quotient". But this requires participating in more and higher-level competitions. Through comprehension in the competitions, one can enhance one's understanding of the competition, judgment of the situation, and grasp of opportunities.

For Riccardo, breaking through to the peak of the intercontinental level and even the world level through this third path is the most likely to be achieved in recent years.

After all, he is about to join the giants of Serie A, playing in the top league in the world, and is expected to participate in the highest level of club competition - the European Champions Cup.

Two years after joining Serie A, Kaka has been promoted from the national peak to the world class.

My talent is no worse than Kaka, and I will only work harder than Kaka in training. It should not take two years to upgrade from a strong intercontinental class to a world class.

...

In the 79th minute, Pereira used up the last substitution spot and replaced Mancini with the right back Maicon from Cruzeiro, the future No. 1 right back in the world.

On the one hand, it was because Mancini had a yellow card, and on the other hand, it was because Mancini assisted very frequently, resulting in a severe decline in physical fitness.

And Maicon is more balanced than Mancini,

Better defense.

So Pereira's move is to give everyone a signal: hold on! Of course it is good to win, but first of all, we must ensure that we do not lose.

After Maicon came on the field, the Brazilian team's offensive eased down, paying more attention to ball possession and protection of the defense.

The Chilean team replaced Milosevic with forward Gallas. This was a counter-substitution, which showed that the Chilean coach Olmos did not want to give up and still had to maintain pressure on the Brazilian team.

In the 87th minute, Brazil's "São Paulo Three Heroes" cooperated with each other. Gustavo Neri assisted to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Fabiano, who immediately passed it to Ricardo.

Ricardo was surrounded by heavy troops in front of him. Instead of breaking through, he took two steps backwards, kicked up his left foot and made an arc to pass near the bottom line.

Gustavo Neri cuts in at high speed, and after receiving the ball, he quickly kicks in a cross. The football hits the left arm of Chilean full-back Villaroel and pops out of the baseline.

The Brazilian players immediately surrounded the referee and demanded a penalty. The Chilean team also came up to argue loudly, and Villaroel signaled that he did not open his arms while defending, and it was not intentional handball.

After Rodriguez ran to exchange a few words with the linesman, he pointed to the corner kick. No penalty!

Edu protested loudly, and Rodriguez showed him a yellow card.

The Brazilian commentator satirized angrily: "Brazil was awarded an unwarranted penalty in the first half, but now it blows away the penalty that Brazil should have. Rodriguez should really get a pair of glasses."

The neutral commentator said: "It is also understandable. After all, the game is almost over. If a penalty kick is given at this time, it will completely change the result of the game. Rodriguez must be cautious. It is reasonable not to give a penalty kick. Brazil What the team has to do is to stabilize their emotions and get into the game quickly, instead of losing their minds for this ball."

After Edu received a yellow card, the players of the Brazilian team ended their defense. After all, Rodriguez's attitude is so tough, and they might be sent off after arguing a few more words.

Alex takes the corner. He stabilized the ball, carefully watched the pushing and running of the players on both sides in the penalty area, took a deep breath, and started to run.

The corner kick is taken and flies to the back point! Fabiano jumped high and headed towards the middle! I can't see whether he wants to ferry or directly attack the goal. Anyway, the football fell in front of the goal, and the Chilean goalkeeper Barras did not hug the ball.

Among the crowd, a figure in a yellow jersey nimbly jumped to the goal. With a poke of his toes, the football changed direction and flew into the net.

Rodriguez whistled and pointed to the center circle. The goal is valid!

The Brazilian fans at the scene cheered.

"Riccardo goalllll! In the 87th minute of the game, Riccardo's goal helped the Brazilian team achieve a comeback! This is a cooperation between two players from Sao Paulo, Alex takes a corner kick, Fabiano The header flew to the middle, and Ricardo scored a goal!"

"This goal is not wonderful, but it is important enough! As long as the Brazilian team defends for the remaining few minutes, they can get all three points and win a good start! This goal almost laid the foundation for the Brazilian team to qualify for the group stage!"

"Ricciardo has continued his horrible scoring efficiency in Sao Paulo. We are sad that maybe we will not see him active in Brazil in the second half of the season. It is almost certain that he will be in this transfer. The window is gone and the only question is where he will go."

After this goal, the Brazilian team did not celebrate for too long. They also didn't fall back across the board after the re-kick off, which is not their style. They used their skilled ball handling skills to kill the game time.

Any player can play a few feet after getting the ball.

Due to too many fouls in the second half, the referee Rodriguez gave a full 4 minutes of stoppage time. But the Chilean team failed to use this time to organize an effective offensive.

With three whistles, the score was fixed at 2:1. The Brazilian team defeated the first opponent in the group and scored all 3 points.

At the press conference after the game, Pereira did not express any dissatisfaction with the referee. The winner must be more magnanimous, right? "We were not playing well enough, there were some problems with the coordination of the players, some players were not able to play 100% of their strength. But luckily, we won."

"I didn't see those two goals (penalty dispute) clearly. I believe the referee knows how to perform his duties. Maybe he made a mistake or maybe he didn't. The important thing is that we won the game."

"We had a tough time, after (Chile) scored the penalty. But the lads picked themselves up quickly and I'm so proud of them."

Chile's coach Olmos was not convinced by the loss to Brazil: "I don't think we were taken care of by the referee. In my opinion, this Brazil is not that strong, not invincible. In fact we are in I got a lot of chances in the game, but my ability to grasp them is slightly weaker."

"Now we just want to immerse ourselves in the next game and try to get out of the group." ()
