The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Ronaldo is a phenomenon, he always taught me a lot, gave me advice and I always try to implement them, for me it was a dream to play with Ronaldo. — Robinho

Sao Paulo has actually qualified for the playoffs in advance, but the current game is not meaningless.

The higher their ranking, the weaker their opponents will theoretically be in the playoffs.

In the regular season of this year's Brazilian National Championship, 26 teams played a single round-robin competition. After 25 rounds of competition, a total of 8 teams could enter the playoffs, and then began to fight against each other for the knockout round. The first place in the regular season plays against the eighth place, the second place plays against the seventh place, and so on.

So Sao Paulo is not wanting nothing, they are still eager to win, which is related to how far they can go in the playoffs.

And Santos' current performance in the regular season is not very satisfactory. Although the youth storm they set off is very topical, their unstable state makes them currently only ranked seventh, and they have not yet shown the king's posture.

In the original history of time and space, they did not really show their power until the playoffs, bringing the young people's aggressive style of play to the extreme and winning the crown.

Ricardo is training with Kaka, and Santos' players have entered the field to warm up.

A short player wearing a Santos jersey came up to Licardo bouncing the ball, and did a few tricks in front of Licardo before he stepped on the ball with his thick lips upturned and smiled. Greeting: "Ricardo! It's a pleasure to play against you. Your brother is my idol!"

"Thank you," said Ricardo, who never put a smile on his face. "Robinho, you are also great. If you only talk about technology, you should be the number one player in Brazil."

Robinho seemed very happy, opened his mouth even wider, but waved his hands modestly: "That's not yet, I still need to continue to improve. In yesterday's press conference, our head coach also said that this We're here to learn from you."

Robinho in this period obviously hasn't been dazzled by too much praise.

Santos' coach Celsorot released a lot of smoke bombs at yesterday's press conference and put his posture very low. This is also an important reason why Sao Paulo players underestimated the enemy today.

He said: "The combination of Ricardo, Kaka and Fabiano is the most terrifying combination in Brazil today. I can't think of any way to defend them."

"Robinho and Diego are both great but lacking experience, I hope they can show some good performances, but don't expect too much from them."

"Ricardo? Yes, he is young, but he is different. Some talents are always more mature than their peers. Pele became the main force of the Santos club at the age of 16 and scored many goals. Performance There are extraordinary traits, and I also saw these traits in Ricardo."

Comparing Ricardo with Bailey when he was young, Celsorot can be regarded as highly respecting Ricardo.

But Licado will not be confused by this old fox. In another time and space, Celsorot kept a low profile and confused all opponents until he won the championship.

Judging from the roster announced before the game, Celsorot did not even think about pursuing a conservative draw. Santos' three forwards Robinho, Elano and William all appeared in the starting list. People are Renato, Paul Almeida, who are more defensive, and Diego, who is more attacking.

Putting on such an offensive-oriented 433 formation, it is really a ghost to say that Celsolot does not want to take all three points.

Robinho and Ricardo chatted briefly, asked about Ronaldo's recent situation, and then returned to Santos to continue warming up.

Looking at his back, Licado said to Kaka: "Don't underestimate him."

Kaka smiled and said: "I never underestimate anyone,

And Robinho's current state is really good. If he maintains this momentum, he is very likely to be selected for the Confederations Cup next year. "

After a pause, he continued, "But you also have a great chance, Ricardo."

Ricardo shook his head, noncommittal.

After the warm-up, the team returned to the locker room, and Osvaldo made the final arrangements.

It can be heard from Osvaldo's words that he did not despise Santos like the players under his command, and repeatedly told the defensive players to pay attention to the marking of Santos' offensive line.

"Robinho's speed is very fast and his skills are very skilled. Don't be fooled by his fake moves. You would rather choose to give up some space than let him break through easily."

"Julio, you have to focus more on defense in this game. Diego's through ball is very threatening. You must cut off the connection between him and Robinho. In terms of physical confrontation, You have an advantage, take advantage of that and force him to pass the ball back more."

"Renato and Almeida are both very stable defensive midfielders. Ricardo Jr. and Kaka, you two should always get close together and use your cooperation to break through their defense. Luis, you should pay attention to retreating and try to Try to bring out their central defenders and leave space for Kaka and Ricardo to attack."

"Riko," Osvaldo looked at Rico at last, "in this game, don't cling to the wing. Your cross is still not good enough, so you can't pose too much threat to the opponent. Let's concentrate our firepower Playing in the middle, you are involved with Kaka, try not to choose to shoot by yourself. If you can’t open the situation in the first half, then consider adjusting your tactics.”

...

Osvaldo arranged nervously, but Ricardo was a little distracted.

As a person who is obsessed with football, of course his thoughts are also related to football.

What came to his mind was the scene that the original owner experienced 8 years ago. At that time, Ronaldo had already won the first World Cup in his life, and he had just landed in PSV Eindhoven, showing his talents to the mainstream European media.

During the Christmas break, Ronaldo returned home to Rio de Janeiro to play with 8-year-old Ricciardo.

At that time, little Ricardo opened his mouth wide, and watched Ronaldo in a daze as he bounced the ball hundreds of times, and he was still playing tricks in the process of juggling the ball.

"You have to teach me how to play football, Dadado!" said 8-year-old Ricardo.

"Sure," Ronaldo smiled, showing his rabbit teeth, "When you grow up, come and play football with me, and I will teach you all my unique skills."

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal."

"Little Ricardo, little Ricardo!" Osvaldo glared over, "Did you hear what I said?"

Licado smiled: "I heard that, Boss."

In two years, the original agreement will be fulfilled. Whether the person standing in front of me is a destined champion or a future superstar, I will win the battle and walk in front of you step by step.
