The Day I Played with Ronaldo

I'm surprised by the criticism Ronaldo has received, I can't understand why this happened. He's a top player, he's top scorer in the World Cup for a reason, numbers don't lie. For me, no shooter has reached his heights yet. — Thuram

No matter how you look at it, it is Sao Paulo who has a firm advantage on the field. The fans cheered wave after wave, and Sao Paulo's offense was wave after wave.

But perhaps the wave was too much, and it was Fluminense who scored the first goal at the Morombi Stadium.

This goal happened in the 18th minute of the game.

Fluminense steals the ball from the backcourt, launches a counterattack with a long pass, and the football flies to the frontcourt. The full-back Gustavo Neri doesn't know what's going on in his head. Under the pressure of the opposing player Sidney, he jumps up and thinks Clear the ball with a difficult volley.

He missed it, however. Sidney picked up a fish, and he didn't miss the opportunity to run forward, chest the ball, and shoot. Cheney had done his best, but he still didn't touch the ball.

0:1, Sao Paulo is behind at home!

The analysis of the media before the game seemed to be on point, and people seemed to be witnessing another tragedy.

The tricolor flags all over the stands stopped dancing and drooped listlessly. The cheers of the fans stopped and were replaced by endless boos.

Such a conceded goal is too demoralizing.

Watching the Fluminense players running wildly to celebrate, Ricardo suddenly thought, did that little girl named Olivia come to the stadium with her father today? Are they sitting somewhere in the stands, bemoaning the conceded goal?

That was my first fan, so I can't let her down.

"There is still a lot of time, enough for us to equalize and overtake. This conceded goal was an accident. Don't take it to heart, and play according to our usual rhythm!" Licado clapped his hands and said loudly.

He didn't have the slightest awareness that he was the youngest player on the field. Instead, he encouraged his teammates like an old player.

It's hard to say whether his words had an effect, or the Sao Paulo players didn't pay much attention to the goal. After the re-kick-off, Sao Paulo's rhythm was very stable. Under the go-between, the attack is still organized in an orderly manner.

"... Sao Paulo was not hit by this goal, they still played very firmly and attacked like a wave."

"Kaka and Ricardo played several exquisite cooperations in a small area today, which brought a lot of trouble to Fluminense's defense. If they continue to play like this, it will be a matter of time before they score."

"São Paulo is here again! Kaka broke through with the ball! He passed Fluminense's midfielder Marco and continued to move forward with the ball! Ricardo is already responding, and Fabiano is also running in the penalty area Let's see how Kaka handles the ball!"

"Choose to play it yourself! Murillo made a wonderful save, played the ball over the baseline, and Sao Paulo got the corner."

Ricardinho stood in the corner and carefully positioned the ball.

He looked at the crowded penalty area. Players from both sides staggered and competed for positions. Even Ricardo's small body squeezed into the penalty area, entangled with the opponent's tall defender.

In terms of height, Sao Paulo does not have an advantage, and it is not a good choice to hit the ball directly into the penalty area. Osvaldo also asked them to practice tactical corner kicks before the game, which may be considered.

Ricardinho raised his hand and made a gesture. Outsiders have no way of knowing what this means, but the Sao Paulo players all understand it.

I saw Riccardo suddenly ran out of the small restricted area and ran towards the edge of the restricted area. Fluminense's central defender Andre Luiz quickly followed.

Ricardinho made a quick run-up and kicked the ball to Ricardo. Ricardo stopped the ball smoothly, but he couldn't turn around because Andre Luis was close to him.

There was constant squeezing from behind, covert shoving, and Fluminense's other defenders were closing in.

Ricardinho came running back from an offside position, reached for the ball, and motioned for Ricardo to give him the ball for the cross. But Ricardo didn't want to do that.

Ricardo suddenly half-turned and stepped forward with his left foot, making a gesture to break through to the bottom line. He swung the football with his right heel, attracting Andre Luis to take a step toward the bottom line. At this time, Ricardo's right foot suddenly buckled inward, and the football changed direction instantly, slipping behind his own left heel and passing between Andre Luiz's legs.

Crotch piercing!

Because it was in the penalty area, Andre Luis didn't dare to stretch out his hand to pull it. Ricardo slipped under the armpit of the tall Andre Luis, and the football was rolling towards the small penalty area. Flumi The rest of Nense's defenders are running towards the football to break it.

Ricardo caught up with the ball in three or two steps, stepped back on the ball with his right foot, pulled the ball on his left heel and turned around, avoiding Malcolm who stepped forward to steal it.

The commentator's voice suddenly rose an octave, and he was so excited that he almost broke his voice: "São Paulo took a tactical corner kick, Ricardo took the ball! Andre Luiz passed through the crotch, Marseille rounded and passed Marco! So beautiful! Oh my God!"

At this time, Ricardo has two choices, this angle is enough to shoot directly, but the angle is relatively small; or he can also pass the ball towards the goal, and there is chaos in front of the goal. goal.

Fluminense goalkeeper Murillo stared at the ball nervously, and unconsciously moved a few steps outside the goal, thinking that Ricardo would pass the ball.

At this moment, Ricardo had already made a decision. He didn't lift his leg back high, and swung his right foot forward quickly, directly ejecting!

This is a very concealed shooting action. No matter who looks at it, it feels like it is a passing action. But the football is flying towards the goal against the turf!

Murillo stretched his legs and bent over, but it was too late, and the football passed through the tiny gap between his left leg and the goalpost and hit the net.

"Licardo is about to pass... a direct shot! The ball has gone in!" The commentator yelled like crazy, and the voice dragged on for at least ten seconds, "goallllllllllll!"

"This goal is too wonderful to describe! A genius goal! This 16-year-old genius boy, his ability to dribble and control the ball in a small area and get rid of it is almost unmatched in today's Brazilian football !"

"Based on this ball, Scolari should consider calling Licardo!"

Fluminense was stunned by the ball, and Andre Luiz, who had been passed by Ricardo before, had his hands on his hips and looked blankly at the ball rolling in the goal.

Licado ran wildly to celebrate, Kaka caught up with him and hugged him, with a smile on his face, he shouted loudly: "You are as good as your brother, Licado!"

"No, I'm still far behind." Even when he was excited, Ricardo could clearly realize the gap between himself and Ronaldo. Now he is not worthy of playing with Ronaldo.
