After Ricardo's goal put Sao Paulo back in the lead, Osvaldo looked at the time. Now that 71 minutes have passed, it's time to bring on Ricardo.

He decided to remove Ricardo and add a defender to keep the score 2-1 until the end. Don't say that he is conservative, in the era of utilitarian football, this is the right and old-fashioned approach, and the coach who only cares about pursuing beautiful football has been slapped to death on the beach by the back waves.

"Santos, you go warm up." Osvaldo called up the young centre-back.

By this time, the pitch had restarted, and Corinthians were eager to attack, finding the wings and breaking through the flanks, without the patience to organize slowly in midfield – and after Wanpeta went off injured, they also lost the ability to organize carefully in midfield.

But such an attack, of course, can be easily defused. Lugano headed the ball over, and Baptista used his strong body to control the second drop, spread his arms to protect the ball, and looked up for someone.

"Here!" Ricardo reaches for the ball.

Baptista immediately handed him the ball and made a quick pass to the ball.

Ricardo drops back to receive the ball and feels Weah's ...... behind him No, it seems to be Ella...... No, it seems that Villa are pressing forward step by step, trying to use the physical confrontation to force themselves to concede the ball.

Ricardo clings to his opponent and stretches out his right foot to catch the ball.

But whether it was a mistake or a deliberate attempt, his foot did not touch the ball, and the ball passed between his legs.

Villa didn't have time to react as he spread his legs to squeeze Licardo when the ball passed between his open legs.

Ricardo turned deftly, and Vera couldn't stop him even by dragging his feet. He caught up with the ball, took two long steps, gave it to Kaka in the middle, and continued to run forward.

It seems like the goal is going to be repeated!

Kaka understood, did not stop the ball as before, and passed directly diagonally to the empty space in front of Ricardo.

Ricardo accelerated again in the high-speed run and caught up with the ball!

But this time, the Corinthians defence didn't make another mistake and Anderson stepped in in in time to not give Ricardo a chance to face the goalkeeper directly.

Ricardo didn't hesitate, and immediately after stopping the ball, he swept the ball with his left foot, and everyone thought he was going to shoot, but the ball was picked high, over the defender's head, and flew to the right side of the penalty area.

There, the fast-moving Rico had already arrived, and there was no one around to watch him for the time being!

Rico jumped up to stop the ball with his chest, and it looked like he was thinking about shooting, but Corinthians goalkeeper Doni quickly moved over to block his shot.

Rico hesitated for a moment, catching a glimpse of Kaka pushing forward, and was almost in the small penalty area, so he changed his mind and sent the ball over.

For Kaka, it's just a nudge to send the ball into the empty net. Is it difficult? For Kaka, there is no possibility of a mistake.

"A leak of Licardo's spirituality! Got past Villa, kept going, handed the ball to Kaka, and came back to one-twos, and the little interaction between the two of them was really pleasing to the eye. Ricardo shoots ...... It's not a shot, it's a pass to Rico, and Riko knocks in the middle, and there it is! Kaka goal! This is Kaka's brace in this game! He looked excited, running to the stands of the São Paulo fans with his trademark celebration, he was bowing his head and kissing the team crest! ”

"With 73 minutes to go, Sao Paulo was already 3-1 up and Corinthians were running out of time. But with Corinthians in their current form, it will be difficult to equalise. ”

"Kaka is in very good form in this game! It has to be mentioned that Ricardo played a role in this goal, his omission was really imaginative, he had been playing for 70 minutes and had so much speed to throw Villa so far away. Villa is afraid that he will have to see a psychiatrist after this game, it is too devastating! Both goals were from his point in attack. ”

"Let's take a look at the slow motion, at the edge of the penalty area, the moment when Licardo passes the ball, it can't be given to Kaka, the passing route is blocked by Fabricio who returns to the defense, he can only pass to Rico, Rico did not selfishly choose to shoot, but gave a kick to the middle, the ball was very comfortable, Kaka only needed to touch the football lightly to go into the net. This series of combinations in São Paulo is quite exciting! ”

While Kaka was celebrating, Ricardo went over and touched Rico's head, who was giggling, "Now you have the assist stats, right?" ”

Rico smirked and nodded, he glanced at Osvaldo's expression, and asked Ricardo again, "What do you think of my performance, is it possible to play in the main team?" ”

"As long as you keep up the pace of progress, you will." Ricardo affirmed.

"Thank you, although I know you are comforting me, I will not give up." Rico replied solemnly.

"Of course, as long as you don't give up, you have hope of success. No matter how faint that hope may be, we must hold on to it and make every effort to do so. "Ricardo is actually talking about himself in his previous life.

He was rejected by many professional clubs on the grounds that he was not fit enough, and he begged his parents to pay him to send him to Portugal for a trial, and eventually signed a youth contract with a club in the Portuguese second division. At the age of 18, he appeared in the Portuguese second division and officially became a professional footballer. After that, he went to the Chinese Super League, the Brazilian League, and was selected for the national team...... Nothing after that would have happened without the initial non-abandonment.

After this goal, Osvaldo quickly made a substitution. Santos replaces Ricardo.

Ricardo walked off the pitch slowly, enjoying the boos of the home fans and the enthusiastic applause of the few away fans.

Although it was Kaka who scored the brace, he was involved in all three of Sao Paulo's goals, and his role in the team is undeniable.

After the game, Osvaldo called him to his side, "How do you feel now, and if you still have to hold on, how long can you hold on?" ”

Ricardo thought for a moment: "10 minutes should be fine, if it is longer, you may only be able to walk on the field." ”

Osvaldo chuckled: "It's as if you don't usually walk around the field." ”

After a pause, Osvaldo said: "I will consider gradually extending your playing time, you go back and ask Morales [São Paulo's strength and conditioning coach] to give you a plan for your physical training." ”

Licardo actually has his own training ideas, and physical training is not the focus at the moment, but he still nodded, there is no need to confront Osvaldo when the atmosphere is so good, and it will be said later.
