Ricardo was the league's top scorer with 24 goals, but he was not happy to lose the league title.

On the day of the call-and-answer incident, Pereira announced Brazil's 23-man squad for the 2006 World Cup. As a result, Ricardo was unsurprisingly selected.

Goalkeepers No. 1 Dida, No. 12 Cheney, No. 22 Cesar.

Defenders No. 2 Cafu, No. 3 Lucio, No. 4 Juan, No. 6 Robert. Carlos, McCone 13, Luizo 14, Chris 15, Gilberto 16.

Midfielders: No. 5 Emerson, No. 8 Kaka, No. 10 Ronaldinho, No. 11 Ze. Robert, No. 18 Edmilson, No. 17 Gilberto. Silva, Juninho Jr. 19, Ricardinho 20.

Forwards No. 7 Adriano, No. 9 Ronaldo, No. 21 Ricardo, No. 23 Robinho.

In this national team, there are six current and former teammates of Licardo's club.

The list has caused little controversy in Brazil, and most of the people selected are expected.

Before reporting to the Brazilian national team, Ricardo officially submitted a transfer application to the club.

In an interview, he said: "I love Inter Milan dearly, but I can't continue to play in Serie A. In such a league, the referee arbitrarily deprives others of the championship, I can't accept it. ”

Facchetti and Moratti took turns talking to Ricardo in the hope that he would change his mind and promise to change the club's situation immediately. Ricardo was moved, but did not immediately agree to stay.

A large crowd of Inter Milan fans gathered outside the club's training base, holding up placards: "Please stay, Your Royal Highness!" "Don't leave us, Ricardo!"

Some fans even wrote to the club, threatening to commit suicide if the club let Ricardo transfer.

Under such circumstances, Ricardo was forced to change his tune in an interview: "I will seriously reconsider my choice." ”

The phonegate scandal continues to ferment.

The president of the Football Federation, Carraro, resigned, and the vice-president, Marzzini, subsequently resigned, and the four major prosecutors' offices, including Naples, Roma and Torino, began to intervene in the investigation.

Juventus officially issued a statement announcing the collective resignation of the Juventus Board of Directors.

Problematic referee DeSantis was disqualified from officiating the World Cup. The investigation was fully rolled out, and it was rumored that many teams, including AC Milan and Fiorentina, were suspected of fake play, and Buffon was also involved in a gambling scandal.

Moggie announced his retirement from football. Soon the chairman of the Italian referees committee, Ranesse, also left the class.

After Ricardo reported to the national team, he has also been following the progress of the phonegate. Almost like in another plane.

On 15 May, the Italian Olympic Committee appointed Rossi as interim trustee of the Football Association.

On May 19, Juventus shares were suspended after plunging 10.19% on the Milan Stock Exchange. On the same day, Papa, director of the Italian Football Federation's investigative office, and his assistant resigned.

On May 23, following the resignation of Papa, the head of the Italian Football Federation's Investigative Office, Football Federation Commissioner Rossi nominated former Milan prosecutor Josep Borrell as the new head of the Italian Football Federation's Investigative Office.

Unlike the stormy rain that is being set off in Italy, the Brazilian team is singing and laughing at this time.

On June 4, the team played their final warm-up game, beating New Zealand 5-0, with Ronaldo scoring twice, and Ricardo, Ronaldinho and Kaka also scoring respectively.

After arriving in Germany, the stars of the Brazilian team attended various business events every day, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Is there a team in the world that can stand up to the Dream Quintet? Truth be told, no.

So what else is there to worry about?

Everyone just came to Germany to have a round and win a World Cup by the way.

Pelé also said in an interview: "They (this national team) are even better than we were back then. I think they have a very good chance of winning the world wave. ”

'Ronaldo has just won his second Champions League title against Barcelona, he's in great form, he's the best striker in the world and no team can fully guard against him.

Pele's crow's beak is a scary thing, but despite being poisoned by Pele, Ricardo still doesn't think the team has the possibility of capsizing.

In another time and space, Brazil loses to France, and the magic quartet comes to an abrupt end.

But the 30-year-old Ronaldo is not at all comparable to the 30-year-old Ronaldo in this time and space.

That Ronaldo has been completely reduced to an opportunistic striker, and he is no longer the number one in the world.

And this Ronaldo, although his physical fitness has declined, his speed is still there, his impact is still there, and he has a wealth of experience, and no one can deny the name of the world's No. 1.

And in this time and space, the Brazilian team also has its own. Ricardo doesn't want to be presumptuous, but he's a world-class player right now.

Take a look at the main squad of the Brazilian team.

Ronaldo. The world's top Ronaldinho. World-class Adriano, himself, Kaka, Emerson, Robert. Carlos, Cafu, Lucio, and Ze of the Outer Reinforcement Intercontinental Level. Roberto, Dida......

Who can fight!

How could it be possible to lose!

All of them are relaxed, just waiting to lie down and win a championship under Ronaldo. He took a lot of advertisements, attended several events, and made a lot of money.

The World Cup is a festival for players to make money.

It is also a carnival day for fans all over the world.

Countless fans flocked to Germany to see their idols for themselves.

For Li Cardo, what is more special is that he accepted an exclusive interview with CCTV Sports Channel, spoke fluent Chinese, skillfully quoted scriptures, and used various idioms to scare those reporters into a daze.

In the interview, he also made a championship declaration: "We have only one goal, and that is to be a champion. We do not accept any result other than the champion. ”

Brazil were drawn in Group F and welcomed their first opponent, Croatia, on 14 June.

Croatia is by no means a weak team, although the 98 World Cup third place team of Suker and Boban is old, but now there are Kovac, Tudor, FM famous demon Srna in the backline, Modric in the midfield, Krasnić, Olic and other famous players in the forwards, and the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.

The Brazilian team also paid more attention to the opponent, Pereira did not easily use the magic quintet, but used the forward line of Ronaldo and Ricardo, Ronaldinho and Kaka's double forward midfield, Ze. Robert and Emerson were two midfielders, and Adriano, who was not in good form, watched from the sidelines.

Croatia lined up in a 3,412 formation, with coach Kranica's son Kranica Jr. playing in midfield, and Pulsau and Krasnić from Glasger Rovers partnering up front.

Croatia were very tight against Ronaldo, keeping their formation tight and although Brazil gained the advantage on the pitch, there were not many chances to really threaten in the first few minutes.

It wasn't until the 11th minute that Dida counter-attacked with a hand-tossed ball, and Ronaldinho tucked the ball into the feet of Ricardo after a long drive from the left.

Ricardo took a step into the box and found no chance, he didn't take the credit, but cleverly knocked back with his back, Kaka followed up with a long-range shot and almost scored.

The commentator also praised: "The golden duo from the Sao Paulo era are still in good spirits, with Ricardo's back-heel passing pleasing to the eye and Kaka's long-range shooting skills gradually becoming more and more perfect." ”

Croatia is struggling. On the left are Ronaldo and Ronaldinho, as well as Robert Brown, who has an assist. Carlos; On the right there are Ricardo and Kaka, as well as Cafu, who dare not ignore the defense on either side.

In the 14th minute, after Ricardo and Kaka cooperated several times to attract Croatia's attention, Licardo suddenly transferred the ball to the left side, Ronaldinho did not stop the ball and went directly to the penalty area, Ronaldo did not stop the ball, just adjusted his posture and volleyed with his foot, the angle was very tricky, but Croatian goalkeeper Pletikosa reacted quickly and saved the ball sideways.
