Chapter 441: Too Hard, Too Hard

As the first half wore on, both sides began to pick up speed.

In the 44th minute, Brazil launched an attack from the right side, McCone passed the ball to Ricardo, who came to answer, continued to cut forward, and soon got a diagonal plug from Ricardo, he adjusted a kick, immediately crossed, Baptista grabbed a cushion shot in the penalty area, and hit the chest of the attacking Carini.

In the 45th minute, the Uruguayans launched a counter-attack, which Forlan put an end to with a hasty shot from outside the box.

The game went into injury time. The game was suspended for 13 minutes due to a lighting failure, so there was an extraordinarily long stoppage time in the first half: 15 minutes of stoppage time.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Brazil instigated an attack on the left flank and hit the ball in front of the penalty area after continuous lateral transfers. McCone and Ricardo played a wall-to-wall combination again, McCone suddenly crossed into the penalty area in front of goal, and the outflanked Lowe fell to the ground in a physical confrontation with a defender, and the referee did not award a penalty.

Slow-motion replays showed that D. Rodriguez, who was defending Lowe, had a hand movement. Uruguay escaped a penalty penalty.

After holding the ball, Carini immediately launched a counter-attack with a hand-tossed ball, Recoba dribbled the ball and never got a chance to get his feet, was squeezed to the baseline, and finally he tried to cross and hit the defender's leg and out of the line.

Recoba took the corner himself, which was a little closer to goal, and Doni stepped out to beat the ball out. But the ball was not controlled by the Brazilians, and Forlan chested the ball on the line of the penalty area and fired a powerful volley that flew into the near corner of the net against the turf.

Uruguay equalised.

Tavares jumped up from the dugout and swung his fist triumphantly at the Brazilian dugout. To be able to equalise with a strong Brazil makes him feel good.

Dunga pursed his lips, the rigid lines of his face indicating that he was suppressing his anger at the moment. The whole team went wrong in this game and gave the opponent too many chances.

It can't be said that the whole team has a problem, at least one person is normal. He looked at the figure in the yellow No. 10 jersey.

In this Copa America, Ricardo wore the number 10 of the Brazilian team for the first time. Will he lead the team to glory like Pele back then? Or will it be like Zico, who has a reputation but can't lead the team to major glory? Or is it like Rai who did nothing?

If you want to wear a crown, you must first bear its weight. At this point, Ricardo has done a good job, he has scored seven goals in three games since wearing the number 10 shirt, and his form can no longer be said to be "good", but "too TM".

But will he be able to lead Brazil on the way?

Ricardo is yet to score today, but that's due to him dropping back too deep after Brazil's attack was blocked. He was involved in organising almost every attack for Brazil, making Brazil's attack fluid, but also reducing his chances of scoring with a shot.

Without him, Brazil's midfield would have been out of control today.

But you can't have it both ways. If you want Ricardo to organize the attack, you have to sacrifice his own offensive ability.

Dunga hesitated for a long time and called Ricardo over. "Go up and go up to the front. I need you to score! ”

Ricardo looked at him in surprise, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

The game resumes. After Brazil's kick-off, Ricardo moved forward as Dunga instructed, and without Ricardo's thread, Brazil's midfield was a little more difficult.

After a few minutes of half-time battle, in the ninth minute of stoppage time, Brazil were awarded a well-placed free-kick opportunity.

The ball is just around 24 metres from goal, almost directly facing the goal, and is a dream position for any free-kicker.

Ricardo stood in front of the ball with Baptista and Kaka.

The Uruguayan players are getting nervous. They all remember the scene in the 04 Copa America, when they were eliminated by a free kick by Ricardo.

Under Carini's command, they slowly set up the human wall.

The fans held their breath as they watched as Ricardo ran and swung his legs as the ball flew high above the wall and plunged headlong into the junction of the column and the beam.

Carini stood still, just turned around and watched the ball go into the net.

The Uruguayan fans hid their faces or hugged their heads in unison, while the Brazilian and neutral fans celebrated in a revelry that completely overshadowed the sighs of the Uruguayan fans.

"Ricardo Goallllllll! He scored a brilliant free-kick! Oh my god, I can't sleep tonight after witnessing a goal like this! The commentator shouted hoarsely, "This is his eighth goal in four games in this Copa America!" He is far from Gal. Rosa. Pinto, Humbert. Mascho and Javier. The 9-goal record held by Ethan Emuel is just one step away! ”

Licardo himself is also excited, his free kick luck has not been good this year, and he has David Beckham, Robert Beckham and Robert Beckham at the club. Carlos competed with him for free-kicks, and it was only his second free-kick in a competitive match.

After the celebration, Ricardo yelled at his teammates: "Hold this ball!" Don't make a mistake again! ”

Although he is not the captain, he is fulfilling the duties of the captain.

Looking at this scene, Dunga's heart moved. As the new manager, he should have his own lineage. Maybe it's time for a change of captain.

Uruguay kicks off.

Brazil looked excited after the goal and immediately started pressing forward, Uruguay made a mistake after a couple of backwards, Josue cut the ball off, he immediately tucked the ball to the left, Gilberto cut in to catch the ball, smash Lugano and cross diagonally into the box.

Ricardo slashed in diagonally from the top of the box and got on the ball before the onrushing Carini.

However, Carini had already blocked his shot angle, and Ricardo barely got up to shoot with his left foot, but the ball bounced off Carini's leg.

However, Uruguay's danger has not been ruled out. Kaka ran into the box at some point, and unmarked he fired a shot at the ball, which flew between two defenders and fell into the net.

"Kaka Goallllllll! Brazil scored 2 goals in 3 minutes! Now the score is 3:1 and Brazil is ahead! ”

"Uruguay didn't play badly today, for most of the time they were evenly matched with Brazil. However, it was such a short 3-minute collapse that almost buried all their efforts! ”

Tavares jumped to his feet on the sidelines. He knows exactly what it means to be two goals down against Brazil.

The world always sees Brazil's powerful and luxurious attack, but those who really know the game know that the basis for the Brazilian team to win so many championships is a solid defense!

It's too hard, too hard.
