Chapter 70: No Goal Luck

Osvaldo seems to want to test the new formation on Palmeiras, who are not weak, and this will probably be a tough battle, so it is not appropriate to test the new formation. I spoke to Farah on the phone and he'll go back to Brazil to negotiate a contract after this game. This time, I am going to introduce Yang Rui and Yang Fan to him. —Ricardo's intimate diary

At the Molumbi Stadium, the tricolor flag was no longer unfurled, and the fans of São Paulo held their heads one by one, their eyes full of disbelief and frustration.

"Leonardo's header! goal! The tall Palmeiras defender opened the scoring for Palmeiras from a corner! It's the 7th minute of the game and Palmeiras are already 1-0 up away and they have made a good start! ”

Pedrio crosses, Wagner. Lowe heads the goal! goal! Palmeiras scored twice in three minutes and it was a fantastic start! Wagner. Lowe has done a good job for Palmeiras! The 18-year-old made his third appearance for the first team and scored in such an important game! He took off his jersey to celebrate! Palmeiras look unstoppable! ”

Ricardo retracted and looked at Wagner. Lowe's gaze was depressed as he walked towards his own half. He has a little impression of this player, and it seems that he has been on the continent for many years, and he has also gone to the Chinese Super League to pan for gold, but he has not been very famous, and he is not a very good player. I can remember this player because of his name, LOVE, which is quite recognizable.

After just 10 minutes of the opening game, Sao Paulo was two goals down, how to play the rest of the game? In those 10 minutes, Licardo didn't have many chances to touch the ball, let alone play anything.

The new formation and tactics are not so easy to run into. Let's just say that these two goals were conceded because of the sudden change of formation. No one was on the fence for Leonardo from a corner, which led to the latter scoring. The second goal conceded was when the opponent crossed, and the defender was not in place in time, allowing Lowe to pick up a leak.

Osvaldo's face was also clouded. He did underestimate the difficulties before the game, everything was too idealistic.

However, at this time, he has not lost hope in his heart, as long as the team's trident can run smoothly, it is not impossible to equalize or even overtake the score in the remaining time.

He walked to the sidelines, waved his arms and shouted, "Steady, steady, don't rush!" Play the way we play in training! ”

Sao Paulo's players were a little anxious, but Osvaldo's words calmed them down and slowed down the attacking tempo a little.

Ricardo actively sought to link up with Kaka in the middle of the field, and the two were still in good spirits, but Palmeiras began to focus on defending after scoring two goals, and they couldn't find any good chance to find the back of the net for a while.

In the 30th minute of the game, Ricardo had his first shot on goal.

He roamed down the left flank, waited for Kaka's pass, brushed past Palmeiras' right-back Correa, took two steps down the middle and struck a cold arrow, which he kicked close to the ball and flew quickly into the far corner of the goal, without curling and winning with speed and angle.

But Palmeiras goalkeeper Marcos reacted quickly and took a leap to get the ball off the line.

Ricardo shrugged regretfully.

Five minutes later, Ricardo made a comeback, this time it was Rico who broke through on the right and crossed a low cross, giving a half-high ball, Licardo got rid of the entanglement of the opposing central defender Leonardo, and shot directly with his feet, Marcos was helpless against the ball, although he made a jumping action but it was too late to save.

The fans in São Paulo stood up and ready to celebrate.

To their dismay, however, the ball bounced off the crossbar and the Palmeiras defender controlled the landing point to clear the ball.

Licardo shook his head, forget it, it seems that there is no luck in scoring in this game, he no longer insists on it, it is okay to assist his teammates, as long as he can win, he doesn't care who scores.

Towards the end of the first half, Palmeiras looked a little slack.

Ricardo was keen to seize the opportunity as he shook Correa away after a series of cycles down the left flank, broke past near the baseline and sent in a left-footed cross to the front. Fabiano leaped high from the crowd to head the ball back, and Kaka, who was ambushed at the back post, smashed the ball into the empty net.

"Kaka shoots, goal!" The narrator shouted excitedly, "In the most difficult time in São Paulo, Kaka stepped up!" He never disappoints the fans of São Paulo! It was a crucial goal for Sao Paulo and if they had entered the second half with a two-goal gap, they would have been sentenced to death for the game. But with a goal pulled back before half-time, they could see a silver lining! At the same time, this goal is also a huge morale blow to Palmeiras! ”

"Let's look at slow motion. Ricardo got rid of the wing, pedaled briskly, and made a successful breakthrough, Correa reacted half a beat slower, misjudging the direction of Ricardo's breakthrough. At this time, Fabiano had already begun to step forward, and Ricardo was still paying attention to his busy schedule, noticing Fabiano's movement, and this cross was quite comfortable. Fabiano did not take credit for his own goal, but rubbed the header back to Kaka, who was outflanked at the back point, and the whole goal process was smooth and smooth! São Paulo has found its rhythm! ”

'Licardo is an interesting player and we noticed that he rarely dribbles in games, most of the time with one shot. But when he starts dribbling, he often creates effective breaks and leads to goals. He has averaged modest dribbles per game, averaging just 2.5 dribbles per game in his 11 games so far, but has resulted in goals in almost every case. For comparison, Kaka averaged 6.4 dribbles per game. It shows that the player Licardo is quite clear-headed, knows how to judge the situation on the field, and hardly does useless work. In the current national championships, there may be players with better skills than him, but there are really not many players who have a higher ball quotient than him. ”

The fans in São Paulo are finally alive again, cheering on the home team with high emotions. Ambrosio, who didn't know when the photo shoot ended, also hid among the fans in São Paulo, singing and dancing together. She thought she was wearing sunglasses and was well hidden, but she was caught by a video camera, and the narrator quickly recognized her. "It's Alejandro. Ambrosio, who had never heard of her as a Sao Paulo fan before, showed up on the sidelines. There were rumors that she had a special relationship with Ricardo, and now it seems that the rumors are not unfounded. ”

For the rest of the first half, neither side achieved much and played a dull game. Palmeiras didn't want to concede another goal and almost all of them shrank back into the box, leaving Sao Paulo with little chance to get on the ground. The narrator had to babara a bunch of nonsense about the scandal between Ricardo and Ambrosio to kill time.

The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and the score was temporarily 1:2, with Sao Paulo, who were playing at home, behind. Players from both sides will return to the dressing room and have a 15-minute break to rematch. Sao Paulo, who are playing at home, will certainly not be satisfied with a defeat and will inevitably make adjustments in the second half. Hopefully there will be more exciting scenes in the second half. ”
