The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Osvaldo quickly replaced Ricardo and replaced him with a midfielder, Alessandro.

Now that Santos has one less player, this is an opportunity for Sao Paulo, and it is entirely possible to chase another goal to achieve a reversal.

However, the Santos fans became Santos' 11th person on the field. They always cheered for the team and sang loudly, which made all the Santos players desperate and did not hang the chain at the last moment of the game.

Sao Paulo wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of one less opponent to make another victory, but Santos was united and withstood the offensive. Instead, Robinho used his personal technical breakthrough in a counterattack, posing a huge threat to Sao Paulo's goal.

However, he was a little selfish in his final decision. Instead of giving the ball to Diego, who was in a better position, he chose to shoot from a small angle and hit the ball on the side net.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the players on both sides felt a little regretful.

Santos lost a good game. From a two-goal lead to a draw, the 3 points they got turned into 1 point, which made them unacceptable.

Sao Paulo's players felt that they had every chance to overtake the score in the last 10 minutes. If Kaka and Ricardo were not exhausted, they would probably score another goal.

The commentator also seemed unsatisfied: "The players from both sides teamed up to give us a wonderful game. There were controversial penalties, penalty kicks, red cards, wonderful cooperation, and an amazing single-riding pass... It has become a classic game. All the elements. The turning point of the game came in the 79th minute of the second half when Santos’ captain and main midfielder Renato was sent off with a red card, and Sao Paulo equalized the score a few minutes later.”

Another commentator took a different view: "I think the turning point of the game was Ricardo's breakthrough in the 60th minute, which resulted in a penalty. The significance of this breakthrough is not only the penalty, but also the symbol. With Ricardo's full recovery, he no longer avoids physical confrontation, and plays more aggressively and aggressively. It is Ricardo's recovery that revitalizes Sao Paulo's frontcourt and dominates Sao Paulo's equalizer."

At the press conference after the game, Osvaldo also praised Ricardo's performance: "At critical moments, he is a reliable player."

"Robinho and Diego are both excellent, but if I have to say, I think Ricardo is better, the statistics don't lie, 15 games, 14 goals and 7 assists, Ricardo is better than Robinho more comprehensive and efficient."

"They are different types of players and I think there will be a place for both of them in the Brazil squad for the next 10 years."

Ricardo, who was named the best player of the game, also attended the press conference. When asked about his performance in the second half, Ricardo said: "I was more focused in the second half. I power."

Asked about Rico's goal, he replied: "Yes, Rico is a good friend of mine, I'm very happy that he scored his first career goal and I'm sure he can score more goals in the future .”

Some reporters also asked him maliciously about Kaka's mediocrity in this game, and he was eventually replaced early. Licado said: "Every player has a time when he is tired. Kaka has played too many games this year. He scored a lot of goals, he has already proved himself, the performance of a game can not explain the problem, he is a very good player, being selected for the national team to participate in the World Cup has boosted his confidence and gained valuable experience , This year he has improved compared to last year."

After finally dealing with the reporters, the team returned to the bus. Licado wanted to sleep for a while, but although his body was exhausted, his spirit was very excited. After he closed his eyes, there was always the scene of the game shaking in front of his eyes, so he couldn't fall asleep at all.

This game, for Sao Paulo, only gained 1 point, but for him, it was the beginning of defeating the demons.

Now he is still far from a world-class star, but demons will no longer be an obstacle to his progress.

When Ricardo was deep in thought, Osvaldo came over and pushed Rico who was sitting next to him: "Congratulations, young man. You performed well today."

Rico was a little at a loss: "Thank you, sir, no, I said BOSS, I will try my best to show a better performance."

"Score your first career goal, it's a memorable moment, enjoy it. Now, change places with me, I'm going to talk to little Ricciardo."

Rico stood up quickly and moved out of the way.

Oswald sat down heavily, with the weight of his whole body on the back of the seat, and let out a satisfied sigh.

"Boss, what do you want to talk to me about?" Licado asked in a low voice.

Osvaldo stared blankly ahead, and did not respond for a while. Ricardo waited patiently.

After a while, Osvaldo said slowly: "Today you once again disobeyed my tactical arrangement on the field and made changes without authorization."

The corner of Licado's mouth twitched, and a wave of impatience grew in his heart. There is a problem with your tactical arrangement. As a player, what I have observed on the field has led me to make different choices. Is there anything wrong with that?

But he sensibly did not say the rebuttal.

"Yes, boss."

"I'm not happy," Osvaldo repeated, "I'm not happy about it. When the manager makes a decision, the players should implement it. A team can only have one voice."

Ricardo was silent for a while, and said: "I understand." He didn't say that such a thing would not happen again in the future. In fact, if this happened again in the future, when he noticed that Osvaldo There are problems with the arrangement, he will still make adjustments on his own, and will not blindly follow Osvaldo's tactical arrangement.

"Only these two times, I hope the next game is not an example," Osvaldo said in a deep voice, "You and Kaka should rest in the next game."

Ricardo frowned. Is this a punishment, or a reward? It seems that both interpretations are possible.

For players, every time they play a game, they can get a lot of appearance fees, which is an important source of income. From this perspective, it is to them that Osvaldo puts him and Kaka on the bench punish.

But the regular season has come to the end, and it is also the meaning of the title to let the tired main players rest. From this perspective, this is also a reward and protection for them.

In the next game, Sao Paulo will challenge the underdog Portuguese team in the relegation zone. From the perspective of strength comparison, Sao Paulo should not have much problem winning. Ricardo decided not to over-interpret Osvaldo's decision, just treat it as a normal rotation. "OK."

Osvaldo didn't speak any more, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Li Kaduo turned his head, admiring the beautiful landscape outside the window, feeling calm.
