“Goallllll！ Ricardo doubled the score with a free-kick for Sao Paulo! It was a brilliant free-kick with a clear arc and a tricky angle, almost grazing the post and flying into the net! Zhapata is completely powerless against this ball! The commentator was also full of praise for the goal, "This is the first time that Ricardo has taken a free kick in an official match, and he has successfully scored!" Today really is his lucky day! ”

"In the 67th minute of the game, Ricardo has completed a hat-trick, there is no suspense in this game, Sao Paulo has already qualified for the third group of the Copa Libertadores in advance!"

'We're seeing a more and more well-rounded Ricardo with both left and right feet, a good header and now he has a free-kick kung fu. As a striker, he is also quite good at organising and passing the ball. Up front, he can play as a striker, he can play as a midfielder, he can play as a left winger and he plays well in every position. What coach would not like such a player! ”

The commentator was chattering, and the fans at the scene were also expressing their love and support for Ricardo with singing:

"God's favored child, your glory is from God!"

"You can always please us with goals!"

"Glorious God-given son, oh Riccardo!"

In the midst of the deafening singing, Rojas replaced Ricardo from the field. Ricardo was fouled 14 times in this game, and his opponents received a total of four yellow cards on him, and Rojas was worried that he would be kicked if he was not replaced.

At the end of the game, Ricardo's white jersey was no longer visible in its original color, and it was stained with mud and grass juice.

Immediately after he left the field, he went to the team doctor for a brief examination, and he had several bruises on each leg, but fortunately there were no serious problems. So he soaked his feet in an ice bucket and sat on the bench to watch the rest of the game.

Sao Paulo's goalscoring performance wasn't over after Ricardo was gone. First of all, the left-back Gustavo, who has been active. Neri scores from distance outside the box; Towards the end of the game, Kaka suddenly crossed from behind the penalty area and assisted Ricardinho's goal.

The final score was fixed at 5:0, and Sao Paulo, who was playing at home, won a hearty victory.

Lozada was grim-faced when he attended the post-match press conference, and it was clear that the defeat was difficult for him to accept.

'We did everything we could to prepare for what could happen in the game, but obviously we weren't prepared enough. The lads have done their best and the main responsibility for the loss is on me. ”

"Why lost? Because we don't have Ricardo and Kaka, of course. If we had those two players, it would be difficult to say how the game would have been won or lost. ”

'There was some controversy in the game, some of the referee's decisions put us in a bad position, especially the two yellow cards from Ferrari, I don't want to question the referee's decision, but I would say that in my opinion, the second yellow card was unnecessary. Maybe I don't have the same perspective as the referee. ”

"Congratulations to São Paulo, they deserved this win and hopefully they can go further in this competition."

"A loss is not the end of the world. Now that we have six points from the group stage, we will try to finish second in the group. ”

Roxas was personable. The one who wins is always more personable. 'It was a great win, América Cali is not an easy opponent to beat and luckily the lads did our deployment 100 per cent and we gave everything in the game so it was a good result.

'yes, Ricardo's free-kick was wonderful. But I've seen him score free-kicks a lot of times in training, so I'm not surprised. ”

And when asked by reporters, "Do you rely too much on Kaka and Licardo", Rojas replied politely: "Too dependent on Kaka and Licardo?" When you have players like that, of course you choose to rely on them, and they can give you good returns. Only a fool would sit on such a good player and not use it well. ”

Then the reporter asked about the transfer rumors of Ricardo and Kaka. In the stands of this match, the camera captured the faces of several famous giants scouts.

'They have a contract with the club and I hope they stay. But now it seems that anything is possible. The club received an offer from the Premier League in January for Kaka, but Kaka doesn't want to go to the Premier League right now, he wants to stay and win some trophies with us. As for what the future holds, I don't know, so let's see when the time comes. ”

In fact, Rojas is well aware that the club is running out of kaka. In the next European summer transfer window, there will definitely be a lot of teams making offers for Kaka.

With higher pay, higher honors, and more attention, he can't think of a reason for Kaka to refuse to go to Europe.

As for the Licardo...... Thankfully, Ricardo is not yet 17 years old and will stay in Brazil for more than a year.

So Rojas's plan is to take all the trophies he can while both of these talents are still in the team. For example, the Copa Libertadores in front of you.

A week later, São Paulo travelled to Asunción to take on Paraguayan powerhouse October 12. Fabiano returned from injury, but Rojas didn't risk starting him, intending to give him more time to recover.

He continued to play as a central striker, and Ricardo was at home in that position, scoring twice in the first half.

After entering the second half, Sao Paulo continued to maintain a strong attack, and the goals were also scored one after another.

Having already scored two goals, Ricardo was in no hurry to get himself a hat again, and he selflessly created chances for his team-mates.

In the 69th minute, Kaka received a pass from Licardo and shot at a small angle on the right side of the penalty area into the far corner, and the score became 3:0.

A point was then pulled back from a corner on 12 October, but Rico soon doubled the lead again on the edge of Kaka's clever pass.

Rojas then brought Fabiano on the pitch to find his groove, and before the end of the game, Fabiano scored from a free-kick in front of the goal, and finally Sao Paulo won 5-1.

After this game, Sao Paulo has 13 points from 5 games, 4 wins and 1 draw, with a goal difference of 15, and has secured the top spot in the group.

Therefore, in the last group game on April 16, Rojas tried his best to substitute for the first Brazilian league game in three days, and finally drew 1-1 at home to Atlético Nacional.

América de Cali defeated the 12th of October 4-1 in the crucial battle to squeeze out Atlético Nacional and finish second in the group.
