Chapter 88: 13 games, 13 goals

Even though it was just such a small thing as renting an apartment, Ricardo called Lucas. Pinto.

This gentleman is a member of Farah's team, which is responsible for handling legal and tax matters related to Farah's players.

It is certainly unrealistic for Farah to worry about the food and drink of so many of his players, and it is natural for him to have a team to serve the players holistically.

Except for Lucas. Pinto, Farah also introduced several others to Ricardo: Su Shan, who is responsible for helping the players deal with the media, participate in TV shows, shoot commercials, etc., is a blonde beauty who is nearly 40 years old; Joao who assists players in investing and managing their finances. Carlos, who looks like a Wall Street gold collar, is personable and has a strong personality; There is also a fat otaku with long greasy hair and thick glasses, named Leo. Buffalo, who specializes in helping players with online platforms, is a bit transparent, because his day-to-day affairs are just small things like taking care of the players' personal blogs.

But Ricardo knew that with the rise of social media and the advent of the era of online self-media, the importance of Mr. Buffalo would be greatly highlighted, provided that he was still in the group at that time.

Two days ago, Ricardo and Joao. Carlos contacted him once, revealing his intention to speculate in stocks, and asked Joao to speculate. Carlos helped him build an account, select stocks, and help him contact banks to get leverage.

Today is the second time that Ricardo has met with members of this team. Pinto was a lean little man, with short hair, rimless glasses, an expressionless face, and a stern style, but he appeared energetic.

"Okay, I'll rent this room for you right away," Lucas. Pinto tugged at his glasses, "Although you are 16 years old and legally an adult, I believe you can take care of your private life." But a word of caution, don't mess up a party in your room, don't get poisoned. ”

Li Cardo smiled: "Understood, thanks for the reminder." ”

"And," Lucas. "If you're in trouble, say, if you hit someone with your car, or get into a fight with someone in a bar, or accidentally make a girl's belly bigger, or have something that shouldn't have happened to an underage girl," Pinto said slowly......

Ricardo looked embarrassed, "Please, I'm such a person in your mind?" ”

Lucas. Pinto said: "I mean, the least thing life lacks is the unexpected, and the most lacking is the surprise." If something like this happens, you need to contact me as soon as possible and don't talk nonsense, understand? ”

Ricardo sighed and said, "Understood." ”

"That's it, wait for my news, I should be able to rent the house tomorrow at the latest, and all the formalities will be completed, you just have to wait for your bags to move in." Lucas. Pinto stood up and smoothed the hem of his suit with his hands.

"Thank you, Lucas." Ricardo also got up, still wearing a tracksuit, at a café outside the Brafonta base.

Watching Lucas. After Pinto walked away, he trotted into the Brafonta base. While running, he thought that when he came to training in the morning, he was blocked by the fans and almost late. It's still time to consider buying a car and getting a driver's license.

For the time being, he doesn't want to buy any good cars, he wants to keep the money for investment, and just get a passable second-hand car.

It's easy to get a driver's license, but he's an old driver.

The next day, the house was rented. It was rented in the name of Ricardo, and Rico only had to give half of the rent to Ricardo. Li Cardo thought about it, even if Rico was reduced to a substitute and had financial difficulties, he would not kick him out. Anyway, even if Rico doesn't propose to share a house, he will rent this house by himself. Now it's just that I have an extra friend to live with.

In the next two days of training, the team focused on set-piece training.

This season, Sao Paulo have rarely scored from set-pieces, but have been attacked by opponents from set-pieces on many occasions, partly because of the large changes in the team's formation and personnel, and partly because the team has carried out too little training on set-pieces.

Soon it was time for Sao Paulo to host Coritiba.

Coritiba currently have no international players and no star players, and the only minor names may be their sharp-edged knives Marcel and Lima in attack. Marcel and Lima are both 21 years old and are regulars in Brazil's Under-21 national team. But to be honest, their level is on par with Ricco.

Sao Paulo, who were at home to São Paulo, had four shots on goal in the first 10 minutes, three on target, but Coritiba's goalkeeper Fernando was in good form and saved the day on a couple of occasions. Especially in the 12th minute, Ricardo hoisted the ball into the box and found Fabiano's head accurately, and if it wasn't for Fernando's timely double-fist punch, Coritiba would have fallen behind.

Coritiba's young strikers Marcel and Lima did not cause much trouble for Sao Paulo, so Sao Paulo pressed almost all the way and pressed the opponent.

Ricardo has been under scrupulous attention, especially after his several passes caused Coritiba's goalmouth danger, and Coritiba's defender Reginaldo. Nascimento was almost inseparable from him.

This is not the first time that Ricardo has been treated like this, he has long been accustomed to it, and still follows his own pace and pace, methodically guiding Sao Paulo's forward attack.

In the 26th minute, Sao Paulo finally opened up, but the goal had little to do with Ricardo. It was Ricardinho who headed back from a corner and Kaka swept the ball in at the back post. The set-piece training in the past few days has been effective.

With one goal, the rest comes one after the other.

Just five minutes later, Sao Paulo made a comeback, the trident made a series of passes, and finally played a one-two combination between Licardo and Kaka in front of goal, and Licardo's clever pass allowed Kaka to go straight to the goalkeeper, but he unselfishly distributed the ball to Fabiano on the side, setting up the latter's goal.

Sao Paulo, who led by two goals in the first half, did not relax their attack, and they continued to press their opponents in the second half, and in the 61st minute, Coritiba goalkeeper Fernando made a mistake in throwing the ball and was pushed back by Baptista. It was also his 13th goal in 13 appearances.

Licardo was substituted shortly after the goal, but Sao Paulo's goal-scoring performance was not over, as Fabiano headed in a header just before the break to make it 4-0.

São Paulo Roma, who managed to get three points, is going to challenge Feguelens away again

Ricardo still started the game, but he was not at his best and lacked bad luck to score or assist. Sao Paulo, who was tired overall, won 1-0 thanks to a penalty kick from captain Cheney.

After this race, Sao Paulo quietly climbed to third place in the standings.
