Ronaldo is the best striker I've ever seen, as long as he's in form no one can stop him, I adore him. - Guti

Mario. Celso. The visiting dressing room at the Petraglia Stadium was as oppressive as it was before the storm. The players didn't dare to come out, and Osvaldo didn't say anything, just used silence to bring more pressure to the players.

Don't sink in pressure, just explode in pressure.

"You guys played like in the first half." Osvaldo finally spoke.

The players breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had been waiting for the second boot to finally hit the ground.

"But forget it, I don't want to blame you too much, now we have to focus on how to change the situation in the second half," Osvaldo took the initiative to change the subject after criticizing it lightly, "In the second half, we have to attack. ”

Ricardo straightened his back.

"Ricardo," Osvaldo's eyes glanced at him, "you can start warming up now." ”

"Yes, Boss!" Ricardo quickly stood up and began to do stretching exercises, pulling ligaments.

"Alessandro, you take a break for the second half." Osvaldo said mildly, not too embarrassing Alejandro. In the past, when the team played in a double midfield, it was usually Baptista and Ricardinho who were partnered, with Alessandro as a substitute.

Alessandro's defensive ability is still passable, but he has always wanted to play as a striker today, and Osvaldo can only replace him.

"That's how we played in the second half." Osvaldo turned to the blackboard, writing and drawing, as he explained.

The players' eyes widened and they involuntarily glanced at Ricardo. This is...... Oh my God, a 16-year-old at the heart of the attack?

Although in the past few days, they have seen the strength of Ricardo in training. But, after all, Ricardo has never played a professional game!

Wouldn't it be too child's play?

Osvaldo is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Anyway, if he loses this game, he will be scolded so bloody, 0:2 is a loss, 0:4 is also a loss, it is better to fight. As for whether Ricardo has the ability to turn the game around? To be honest, he didn't have much hope either. It's a big deal, just think of this game as a military practice.

Ricardo smiled at the corner of his mouth. Attacking the core? It feels so good.

……

In São Paulo, a football-themed bar in the Cavina neighborhood, it was as noisy as ever. Uncle Paul was holding a glass of beer and arguing fiercely with his friend Jimmy.

"Don't underestimate São Paulo! We have the fighting spirit of never admitting defeat! Don't say two goals behind, even if three or four goals are behind, we can get it back! Uncle Paul gasped and took a sip of his beer.

Corinthians fan Jimmy smiled: "Really? No Kaka, no Fabiano, what do you do to equalize. ”

"We still have ......," Uncle Paul lowered his voice. Reinaldo? The technique is too rough, and you don't need to use your brains to play football. Baptista? If the position is too deep, the attacking talent will not be enough. Wilson, Carlos. Miguel? Let's talk about something else.

Uncle Paul put the beer glass down: "In short, we will definitely be able to equalize the score, wait and see!" ”

Jimmy didn't speak, but pulled out 1000 reais from his pocket. "There's no point in having a war of words, or let's make a bet."

Uncle Paul immediately coaxed. "I don't like gambling, so forget it." He huffed and began to launch a general assault on beer.

……

As the second half was about to begin, the commentator saw Sao Paulo's request for a substitution as the players from both sides stepped onto the pitch through the tunnel tunnel.

"As soon as the second half started, Osvaldo made a change. Sao Paulo with No. 30 striker Ricardo ...... No, Licardo replaced No. 16 Alessandro. Who is Ricardo? ”

His partner flipped through the profile: "Oh my God, this player is only 16 years and 2 months old, and he has no professional record. Is Osvaldo crazy? At such a critical moment, he actually changed to a child, could it be that he had already given up the game in advance? ”

"By the way, I remember, the player's profile shows that his full name is Ricardo. Nazario. Reach. Lima, who is Ronaldo's half-brother. There was a lot of news about him a while ago, do you remember? ”

"Of course I remember, I hope this kid won't be influenced by those bad media."

'Hopefully he'll have a good debut, but I think it's going to be difficult because Sao Paulo is in a tough situation right now. Let's watch the second half of the game. ”

At the beginning of the second half, Atlético Paranaense suddenly attacked, and after the attack was fruitless, they retreated and began to shrink the defense.

And Sao Paulo after Ricardo came on, the attack looked much more delicate. With Ricardo's role in the frontcourt, their passing errors in the front court have dropped a lot, and the attack has played well.

The commentator also understands the ball, so he naturally saw the role of Ricardo and began to praise Licardo. "Ricardo is not a kid with stage fright at all, and who can tell that this is his first professional game?"

'yes, he's very clean, he's efficient, and he brings something different to Sao Paulo. I think I can see why Osvaldo replaced him. He should have played in the first half, maybe Sao Paulo wouldn't have been so passive in the first half. ”

"He is the younger brother of Ronaldo, and he played very well on his professional debut. Although Sao Paulo will struggle to recover the score in this game, Ricardo will surely get a good evaluation after the game. For a 16-year-old, he's done a great job. ”

In the bar, Uncle Paul's eyes regained their brightness. "Behold, little Ricardo! He is the hope of us in St. Paul! ”

"Don't even dare to dribble the ball, but hope," Jimmy said disdainfully, pulling out 1,000 reais again, "Since your São Paulo's hope is on the field, do you dare to bet with me!" ”

Uncle Paul was silent. No matter how much he had a crush on Ricardo, he couldn't believe that he had the ability to turn the tide of the game on his own. After all, Ricardo was only 16 years old.

Jimmy laughed: "Compared to Corinthians, São Paulo is garbage!" Fighters in the garbage! ”

Uncle Paul's face was swollen and red, his thick beard shook with anger, and he stared at Jimmy with wide eyes. After a while, he yelled, "Okay, I'll bet with you!" I'm betting on Sao Paulo to equalise! ”

He took out a handful of crumpled money from his pocket, counted it for a long time and counted it out to 1,000 reais, rolled his eyes, and said: "However, now Sao Paulo is 2 goals behind." If you can equalize, you'll have to give me 2,000. ”

"2000 is 2000." Jimmy happily pulled out another 1,000 reais. He didn't believe that Sao Paulo could equalize without Kaka, without Fabiano, without Ricardinho. What to rely on to equalize? By that stinky kid named Ricardo?
