Chapter 113: Ricardo who fell off the altar
With the broadcast of this episode of "Star Zero Distance", the name Ricardo immediately entered thousands of households in Brazil.
Many fans who usually only focus on their home team are starting to notice the incomparably dazzling supernova of Ricardo.
Stella has walked through this show and has received good reviews. As soon as I returned to school, I heard the students talking.
"Did you watch the show? About Licardo. ”
"Look, he's so handsome, I really want to be his girlfriend."
"It turns out that he lived so miserably when he was a child, so I sympathize with him."
"He doesn't need your sympathy, now his annual salary is almost a million."
"He is handsome and so rich, if you can marry him, you have to work hard for half a lifetime!"
"Don't think about it, people already have girlfriends."
"Who is it?"
"Ambrosio, that supermodel."
"Nonsense, it's actually Stella from the class next door."
"Stella? I don't believe it, she deserves it! ”
Stella didn't listen any more, she hurried into her classroom, put away her school bag, and couldn't wait to open a copy of the "Scoreboard".
She quickly found the part about Ricardo.
"The tridents collectively dumb fire, Sao Paulo narrowly drew Santos away."
"In the first knockout round of the national championship last night, São Paulo visited the Caldera Stadium and both sides played with the main players. Santos overpowered Sao Paulo and scored with a low shot from Robinho in the 44th minute. In the second half, Sao Paulo, who were behind, were also unable to play an effective attack, and it was not until the 79th minute that they took advantage of a free kick in front of the goal. Neri equalises with a header. ”
'Santos is in good form as a team, with Robinho, Diego and Elano all doing well. But Cheney was brave enough to save Santos' shots on goal. Otherwise, the score is likely to be 3:1 or even 4:1. ”
"Both the status of both Ricardo and Kaka have been widely questioned. Ricardo, in particular, looked lackluster under the defence of Renato and Almeida, with only three shots on goal in the whole game, not hitting the woodwork once. It's almost impossible to win a national first prize with such a performance. Santos, Diego and Robinho are all very active, Elano and Willian have also made positive contributions, and Renato's performance has been particularly eye-catching, and it will be interesting to see if they can win at the Morumbi Stadium. The Santos team, which has been absent from the championship trophy for half a century, is finally showing signs of revival. Will São Paulo be a stepping stone for them? ”
Stella silently flipped the page and found Adrien, whom she usually likes to read. Jesús's column. The author has always been known for his sharp rhetoric and sharp commentary.
However, after reading two lines, Stella's breathing became heavy.
"!"
"Nonsense!"
Adriano. Jesús's style has not changed, he is still sharp and to the point, but this time his protagonist is Ricardo.
"I would say that people have given too much attention to this young man, and unrealistic expectations. Just a few highlight-reel performances to make people think that he is Bailey II? He needs a little longer, more games to prove himself. However, I doubt he will be able to do that. ”
"In the last few games, we have seen a real Ricardo. A Licardo who fell off the altar. Running around like a headless fly in the game, hurried and purposeless passes, unsightly shots. ”
"Aside from being Ronaldo's younger brother, Ricardo is just an ordinary young player. He has everything he should have at his age, poor confrontation ability, frizzy handling of the ball, lack of self-confidence, invincible when he plays well, and slump when he doesn't play well. ”
"As early as when the major media touted him, I said that this child is like a shooting star, dazzlingly rushing into our field of vision, and will disappear in front of our eyes at a faster speed. Everything that is happening now proves that I was right. ”
That's nothing, and there's more to come.
"People think he's Ronaldo's younger brother and they think he has Ronaldo's football talent as well. But everyone forgets that he is Ronaldo's half-brother. ”
"His mother is a Chinese woman, not to mention the profession she once had, this is something that everyone knows. A Chinese woman! Maybe Ricardo inherited the talent of playing table tennis, who knows. But football? Has China ever had any football stars? Do you remember when we played 4-0 at the World Cup a few months ago? ”
"Yes, the Chinese are very smart, intelligent, very hardworking, very good at making money, I admit this, many people have neighbors of Chinese origin around them, these are the facts that we recognize. Another widely recognized fact is that Chinese are not good at playing football. So how could Licardo, who is half Chinese, be the successor to Pele? Ronaldo has shown unrivalled talent, an insatiable hunger for victory, and Ronaldo could be the best successor to Pele. But Ricardo? He couldn't even reach a tenth of Ronaldo's height. ”
"Wake up, stop indulging in the gimmick of 'Ronaldo's brother'. Santos' Robinho is the more talented one. ”
"As for Ricardo? I'm willing to bet he's gone from our sight next year and with his kind of performance, there can't be a place for him in São Paulo. Maybe we can find him in the second division. Maybe he'll be reduced to the point where he doesn't have the ball to kick. But it doesn't matter, his mother runs a Chinese restaurant, and he can always go back to that Chinese restaurant to work. ”
"Fuck you, bastard!" Stella crumpled the "scoreboard" in a frenzy and threw it at the trash can at the back of the classroom.
She sat in her place with her hands on her cheeks, puffing up, and no one wanted to deal with her.
Hurry up and get back to your form, Ricardo! Didn't you say you were going to overtake Kaka, overtake Ronaldo? Hurry up and prove to everyone that you have the same talent as Ronaldo!
……
Brafonta training base. Due to a poor performance on the road, Osvaldo canceled the rest after the away game and the entire Sao Paulo squad was training.
No one had the heart to laugh, everyone seemed serious and serious. Although the 1-1 away score is acceptable, it can even be said that with an away goal in hand, Sao Paulo have taken the initiative and the advantage. But São Paulo's goal is to win the championship!
With such a bad form as now, how can you face stronger opponents in the future, such as San Caenotta, Corinthians, Gremio?
Ricardo pursed his lips tightly, did not say a word, and completed the various requirements of the training with great seriousness. His pressure is the biggest in the team.
Kaka has already proven himself and is not in good form in one or two games that will not raise questions.
Ricardo, on the other hand, rose too fast, climbing to the height of "Brazil's best rising star" before people could react, and it is inevitable that he will not have a solid foundation, and once there is a fluctuation in performance, people will be criticized.
Recently, he has been shooting commercials, newspaper interviews, and TV program recordings, which has really affected his focus.
