After conceding the goal, the Costa Rican players could not see negative emotions such as loss, frustration, and confusion.

Perhaps in their perception, it is normal to fall behind the Brazilian team, but it is not normal to lead.

After falling behind by one goal, they did not waver in the slightest, still launched a fierce front-court press, and dared to invest troops when attacking.

The Brazilian team seemed to have slackened after the goal, and the formation was a little scattered for a while, and they were beaten a little embarrassed.

If it weren't for the running out of time in the first half, Costa Rica might have taken the opportunity to equalise.

Soon, the first half ended and the two sides entered the dressing room.

Pereira gave serious criticism of Brazil's opening 20 minutes and the last five minutes: "You only played 20 minutes of good football. The rest of the time, you don't play like Brazil, you play like Zimbabwe. ”

"What is Zimbabwe?" Adriano asked Ricardo in a whisper.

"Shut up and listen."

Pereira's eyes were fixed on the goal-scorer Adriano, who unconsciously lowered his head and did not dare to make eye contact with Pereira. Pereira opened his mouth and criticized mercilessly: "Ade, congratulations, the goal is beautiful. But I can't help but ask, where were you before this goal? ”

Adriano lowered his head, not daring to refute. In the first half, he did play a little lazily and didn't run aggressively enough.

In fact, it was not only him, but all the Brazilian players, including Ricardo, were a little sluggish against a weak team like Costa Rica, running inactively, and handling the ball sluggishly.

Pereira pointed to the nose of each player on the pitch and cursed almost all of them. There are no big names in this Brazilian team, but most of them are newcomers, no one dares to stand up to Pereira's authority, and Pereira's roar is heard in the dressing room, and no one dares to intervene.

The lecture lasted a full 10 minutes, with Pereira only allowing two minutes to explain the tactics of the second half and the remaining three minutes to rest the players.

Perhaps he also subconsciously thought that taking Costa Rica would be easy and that there was no need to put too much emphasis on tactics. You can play as much as you want, and you can win any way you want.

Facts have also proved that his idea is not wrong.

After the start of the second half, Brazil's players were more focused and more aggressive in their movements. Although there was not much adjustment in tactics, it was enough to completely suppress Costa Rica, and almost staged a half-time offensive and defensive drill.

In the 50th minute, Ricardo retreated to the midfield to get the ball, broke through Centeno, handed the ball to Alex, and continued to cut forward quickly.

Alex understood the ball, took the ball and made a relaxed "L" shape to get rid of it on the spot, and tucked the ball straight in front of Ricardo.

This through ball quickly caused a huge hole in the Costa Rican defence, and Ricardo picked up the ball in the open area.

Sequeira and Wright rushed to try to make a block, but Ricardo was incredibly fast, dribbling to the edge of the box and volleying a right-footed volley before they could close the fence, the ball flying on a low trajectory and almost sticking to the turf towards the Costa Rican goal.

Goalkeeper Ricardo. Gonzalez couldn't make a save and the ball hit the inside of the left post, making a muffled sound and rolling into the door.

Brazil leads 2:0!

The commentator didn't feel excited about this goal and took it for granted.

"Ricardo goal!! He played a one-two with Alex, burst into the edge of the box and slotted a cold arrow into the back of the net. ”

"It is worth mentioning that this was Ricardo's 10th goal for the Brazilian national team. He made just 16 appearances, seven of which started and nine as substitutes. ”

"Ricardo has no experience in the Brazilian youth team, and after his debut, he was selected directly for the senior national team, he just turned 18 a few days ago, and it is conservative that he will play for his country for another 15 years. The current record for goals scored by the Brazilian national team is 92 games held by Pele with 77 goals, and in my opinion, the brothers Ronaldo and Ricardo have a great chance of breaking this record! ”

"During this period the Brazilian team completely dominated the field and it was a matter of time before the goal was scored. Ricardo's ability to take chances was as good as ever, and he managed to turn his advantage into a goal. With two goals in hand, the Brazilian team can already be said to have won the game, as long as they don't make low-level mistakes, they can win this game smoothly. With 6 points from two games, you can qualify early. ”

His tirade was not over, and the field changed again, and he had to hold back the rest of his words and let out a roar: "Goal!!! Adriano scored twice! ”

Alex takes a corner kick and Costa Rican goalkeeper Ricardo delivers a corner. Gonzalez didn't pick up the ball, Adriano jumped high in the crowd and scored with his head! ”

“3：0！ We predicted a big win before the game and the lads managed to meet our expectations! ”

"Compared to a few days ago, Brazil today is the same! Alex, in particular, has already provided three assists and scored a hat-trick of assists, and his activation has given Brazil a big win! ”

Shortly after the goal, Pereira made two substitutions in a row, replacing Kleberson, who was not yet 100 per cent recovered, with Dudu and replacing the goal-scorer Ricardo with fourth striker Oliveira, so that the two could get enough rest.

And then Adriano received Gustavo. Inside's cross is tackled, and the hat is taken.

Costa Rica only scored a face-saving goal in the 82nd minute.

It was an expected victory, and the media in Brazil were very bland, with some criticism of the team's current shortcomings, in addition to praising the good performers Adriano, Alex and Ricardo.

Including the team's coordination mistakes are more, the players are not concentrating on the field, etc.

Adriano was recognized by the Brazilian press for the first time, which made him look very happy, and he kept smiling from ear to ear when he returned to the hotel.

The poor boy played for Flamengo until the age of 18 and did well, but he was not outstanding enough, scoring 13 goals in 36 appearances in two seasons and failing to impress the Brazilian fans.

Then he was favored by Inter Milan and went to Serie A, away from Brazilian football, so Brazilian fans still don't trust him enough and don't know enough about him.

But this time his outburst in the Copa America finally put him in the eyes of thousands of Brazilian fans.

Although there are still many criticisms of him, such as the style of the ball is too unique, the body is strong and not flexible enough, the technique is not good enough, and there are too few fancy moves on the field to please the fans. But as a striker, as long as you can keep scoring goals, you will be favored by the manager. His future for the Brazilian national team can be described as bright.
