The Day I Played with Ronaldo

The commentators on Brazilian TV had been a little idle before, because Sao Paulo's performance was lackluster and there was nothing worth talking about.

He had to introduce the situation at the scene and talked about the slogans on the stands.

"...The fans of the América de Cali are very uncivilized. Their slogans are infuriating. This behavior is anti-football. I suggest that Sao Paulo file a complaint with CONMEBOL after the game to cancel the match after the América de Cali. The Brazilian commentator was full of emotions and tendencies, and even seemed filled with righteous indignation, "I hope Sao Paulo can achieve a good result. It is of course better to win, at least a draw."

He was talking non-stop when suddenly a shot of Lugano making a big-foot clearance appeared on the screen. He exclaimed excitedly: "Lugano steals the ball and launches a counterattack with a long pass! The football flies to Ricciardo's position!"

At this time, the right back Gonzalez of the Cali American team assisted to the vicinity of Sao Paulo's penalty area. Although he was speeding up to catch up, it was impossible to catch up.

So their central defender Bahamon, who was located near the center circle, rushed forward bravely, trying to head the ball back before Ricardo.

Angulo, the defensive midfielder of Cali America, was also desperately returning to the defense. At the start, he was about 5 or 6 meters away from Ricardo, but after Ricardo picked up his speed, he was thrown 7 or 8 meters away in an instant.

Ricardo ran wildly, like a flash of lightning, he came to the football landing point in the blink of an eye.

Bahamon was still a few steps away from the football, he saw something bad and jumped up immediately, trying to interfere with Ricardo.

Ricardo was no longer afraid of physical confrontation, and jumped high, competing for the header.

In the end, Ricardo, who was closer to the football, naturally took the lead to touch the ball. His header this time was very clever, and he did not use too much force. Instead, he had a buffering and unloading action, which made the football fly lightly over the center circle and slowly fall to the ground. .

At the same time, Licado and Bahamon collided fiercely, and the two fell from the sky together, entangled in one place.

The referee on duty had his whistle in his mouth and was about to blow it. Bahamon was suspected of fouling the ball.

But Licado quickly got up on the ground with hands and feet, and continued to chase the football.

Bahamon got up half a beat slower, but Angulo and Gonzalez, who had been desperately chasing back, were one step faster than him, getting closer to Riccardo.

After catching up with the football, Licado didn't stop the ball at all, and directly poked the ball forward with his toe. Moreover, he stabbed very hard, and the football rolled at least 10 meters away. He wanted to make full use of his speed advantage to throw off the pursuers.

Angulo and Gonzalez, who were already only two or three steps away from him, were thrown away a few more positions.

The commentary of the Brazilian commentator almost turned into a scream, and a series of short sentences came out of his mouth in a hurry: "Ricardo headed the ball, he grabbed the point, oops, Ricardo was knocked down by the opponent's defender Yes, it’s a foul! The referee hasn’t blown it yet. Licado got up and continued chasing the ball. According to the principle of favorable offense, the referee didn’t blow his whistle. Licado chased the ball, and he took a big step. This handling is very smart , but the central defender Cavice of the American team of Cali America is getting closer to him, and the two are about to collide!"

"Licardo took the lead to poke the ball. He collided with Kavice and staggered a bit, but he adjusted his center of gravity and continued to chase the ball!"

"His speed is very fast! Already one-handed! The goalkeeper Zapata of Cali America gave up the goal, Ricardo was still dribbling, and his speed did not slow down at all! Feint! Shake the goalkeeper! Push the empty goal !goalllllllll! A blood-thirsty goal! Ricardo made this goal with his unparalleled speed! No one can stop him, no one!"

"This is Ricardo's first goal in this competition in the Copa Libertadores and, as can be expected, it will not be the last! Ricardo's goal gave Sao Paulo a 1-0 lead over Cali in the away game America! Sao Paulo has made a good start.

"

"What is Ricardo trying to do? He ran under the stands with that slogan hanging, and made a 'throat-cutting' motion to the fans of the Cali American team. This, Ricardo was impulsive, and he would definitely because This uncivilized action will be punished, and may even be banned!"

Would Ricardo not have thought of this? Of course he knew that his actions would cause controversy and even be punished and suspended.

so what?

He is a person first, an ordinary person with emotions, and a professional player second.

He can understand being fouled by his opponent, because football is like war, and both sides will do everything they can.

But the actions of the opponent's fans have already touched his bottom line, he can't be indifferent!

The fans of the American team in Cali booed overwhelmingly, and the boos hit Ricardo like waves.

Amidst the sound waves, Licado did not retreat an inch, with a smile on his face! We are enemies! Your boos are the greatest affirmation to me!

"The referee ran to Ricardo and showed him a yellow card! Ricardo accepted the penalty without any excuse. After the game, South American Football Confederation may have a further penalty decision on him."

"I can understand Ricardo's anger when he saw those slogans, but his actions are indeed too irrational. Pereira may have to reconsider calling him into the national team. Such a 16-year-old young man, although The football skills are very good, but the mind is not stable yet.” Although the Brazilian commentator is on Ricardo’s side psychologically, and the behavior of the fans of the American team in Cali is really infuriating, but as a commentator, he must respect Licardo. Cardo's uncivilized behavior to criticize.

Did this goal stun América de Cali? not at all.

However, it made Cali America dare not press so aggressively again.

Their head coach Lozada regained his composure and quickly adjusted the team's style of play. America of Cali is still the main attack, but it has become more cautious. The two full-backs strictly implement one up and one down-one full-back assists up, and the other must stay in his own half to defend.

The double defensive midfielders Angulo and Ferrari only dared to take turns to step forward to participate in the attack, and the other had to stay to protect the space in front of the two central defenders.

As a result, the pressure on Sao Paulo's defense was greatly reduced, and Ricardinho was able to devote more energy to organizing and sorting out the midfield.

Sao Paulo is no longer just playing counterattacks, and sometimes organizes offenses patiently.

Sao Paulo is not only sharp in counterattack, if only counterattack is the weapon, they dare not expect to win the championship.

Positional warfare is also their forte.

The cooperation between the trident Luis Fabiano, Kaka and Ricardo became increasingly proficient.

Rico will stay out of this offensive system most of the time, but his running skills have improved a lot, and the opponents in the game tend to ignore him, so sometimes when the coordination is hindered, the Trident will suddenly hit the ball. On his side, let him use his speed to impact.

That's how Sao Paulo's second goal came about.
