Chapter 308: Confederations Cup Champion

At a simple post-match award ceremony, the players of the Brazilian team were elated to receive their gold medals and championship trophies.

In this way, this Brazilian team is almost perfect: the World Cup in '02, the Copa America in '04, the Confederations Cup in '05, they won all the awards they could take.

Ronaldo, on the other hand, was the top scorer of the tournament with four goals, as well as the best player.

Ronaldinho also contributed four goals, but his goals included penalties, unlike Ronaldo, who scored all the goals in open battles, so he was second in the scorer list.

Ricardo contributed three goals and two assists and was voted Young Player of the Year.

Such an honor can no longer satisfy Ricardo.

In contrast, he was more excited about the treble and individual accolades in Serie A last season.

Serie A awards have also been awarded, Roberto Mancini is the best coach, Inter Milan is the best team, Ronaldo is the top scorer, the best player, and has become the European Golden Boot; Ricardo is the assist king, the best rookie of the year, and unexpectedly, he became the "most popular player" voted by Inter Milan fans, with more votes than Ronaldo.

Ricardo certainly wouldn't be arrogant enough to think that fans who like him more than Ronaldo do. You must know that Ronaldo has been fighting here for 8 seasons and has long won the hearts of Inter Milan fans. The result of this selection may be because this is his first season in the team, which gives people a strong impact and freshness.

In the post-match press conference, Pekerman looked frustrated.

"It's very sad to lose a game like this, because to get to the final, all we want is the title. There were some problems with the mentality of the players today, but Brazil were outstanding, they were in control and the victory deserved to be theirs. But I think we've learned a lot from this Confederations Cup, which will be very positive for us to play in next year's World Cup. ”

"This Brazilian team is arguably the best on the planet, and their five attacking players have the enviable talent. I haven't figured out what to do with them yet, but I think there's a problem at the back. ”

"Ronaldo is still the number one player in the world, while Ricardo and Adriano have also shown world-class style. However, our Tevez has no less talent than theirs and I am sure Tevez will compete with them in football for a long time. ”

Pereira did not appear to be overly joyful, and he calmly attended the press conference: "It's a joy to be able to beat an old rival. There were some problems with our opponents today, and the 5-1 score did not reflect the quality of the two sides very well. ”

"This win gives us the confidence to do well in next year's World Cup. Some of the players in some positions still need to be adjusted, we are not at our best. ”

'Ronaldo is tired, he doesn't show his best form, but he's still the best striker in the world and no one can compare to him. Adriano has been through the loss of his father, and I hope that everyone will not disturb him and let him adjust well. Ricardo was very well-rounded, he played in multiple positions and he did what I asked of him. He's still young, he's still growing up and you'll see a stronger one at next year's World Cup. ”

The next day, the Brazilian team announced its disbandment and the players left. Some go on vacation, some go to business events.

Adriano returned to Brazil, while Ricardo and Ronaldo returned to Milan, both of whom have a lot to do in Europe and are not able to enjoy their holidays for the time being. And Ronaldo still has transfers to worry about.

Major media also summarized this year's Confederations Cup.

"Reuters" said after the game that in Frankfurt, Germany, Brazil played a super attack, and finally defeated archrival Argentina 5-1 to win the Confederations Cup. It was Brazil's biggest win over Argentina in 42 years, and the Samba Army avenged their defeat in World Cup qualifying three weeks earlier. It was Andreas Pereira's 100th game as Brazil manager. Argentina had a disappointing performance on the pitch, which was in stark contrast to Brazil.

The official website of FIFA said after the game that in the final of the Confederations Cup, Brazil showed super strength, and the team's five attacking players Ronaldo, Ricardo, Adriano, Kaka, and Ronaldinho all played well, and the fame of the Magic 5 officially began.

The Associated Press said after the game that Brazil deserved to be the world champion, and in the match against Argentina, the Samba Army won 5-1 and showed good form. In this way, Brazil and Argentina are tied in the all-time head-to-head record. So far, this year's Confederations Cup has come to an end. Overall, the 2005 Confederations Cup was a success, scoring 62 goals in 16 games, an average of nearly four goals per game, giving fans a feast of goals.

Ricardo was too busy to care about it. In July, Stella found a few good mansions and wanted him to palm, but he couldn't spare time.

TV shows, interviews, commercials, and photo shoots, he is very busy, and he has to train every day to maintain his physical function.

On the evening of July 6, Ronaldo made a phone call. "Brother, I've negotiated with Real Madrid, and I'll go for a medical examination tomorrow and sign a contract."

Although Ricardo had been mentally prepared, he still had a feeling of sadness. After a moment of silence, he said, "I wish you what you want, Dadatha, and everything you want." ”

"I want the Champions League, I want La Liga, I want lots and lots of money, I want a lot of beautiful women," Ronaldo said with a smile, "and I'm sure you can find it in Madrid." ”

"As for you, you have to play hard, and next season with Ade to help Inter Milan defend the league title! Don't think about the Champions League, it's definitely mine. ”

"That's not necessarily, if we meet in the Champions League next year, I won't show mercy."

"Haha, our brothers haven't faced each other yet, and it's good to have a duel. Okay, I still have something to do, hang up. ”

The next day, Real Madrid officially announced: "Ronaldo joined the team for 90 million euros and signed a five-year contract." The world number one will wear the number 9 shirt for Real Madrid in next year's league and La Liga. ”

90 million euros, breaking the world transfer fee record again, this is already the second time Ronaldo has broken the world transfer fee record, the previous time was when he transferred from Barcelona to Inter Milan.

This blockbuster news immediately detonated the entire football world. The Real Madrid fans wept with joy, and the Inter Milan fans were in pain for the loss of their flag and leader.
