Chapter 195: Toyota Cup (6)

The number one left-back in the modern world is Robert Brown. Carlos or Maldini? This is a suspenseful question.

So the number one right-back in the modern world, is it Cafu or Zanetti? It is estimated that most people will choose Cafu except for Neila.

In the future, McCone also briefly rose to the top, beating Alves, Ramos, Lahm and the aging Zanetti, and was hailed as the world's No. 1 right-back. But that period was really too short, and McConn's peak was only a short year or two.

As a typical Brazilian player, McConn's lack of discipline in his private life has seriously affected his form.

If you take McCone or Cafu, who is greater? Undoubtedly Cafu. Because Cafu's peak lasted for more than a decade!

Even though Cafu is much older than Sanetti, who was born in '76 and is now over 33 years old, he seems to be at the end of his career, but he still maintains excellent form.

His pace isn't as sharp as he was when he was younger, but his defense is still solid and his assists still strike fear into the hearts of opponents.

When I was in Rome, it was said that Cafu was old and that it was time to retire from the stage of history. But after a free transfer to AC Milan, it was surprising to find that Cafu was still in good form and even had a second spring. It's an old demon! The older you get, the more demonic you get!

At this time, Ricardo deeply felt the pressure brought to him by Cafu.

Yes, Cafu is not as fast as he was when he was younger, but he has a lot of small movements and knows how to use his body wisely. Although he was not particularly physically strong, he always made Licardo feel uncomfortable.

However, in such a sprint, after all, the young Ricardo took advantage of it. After the football flew off the baseline, Ricardo preemptively touched the football! He picked the ball back with his toes, ready to take advantage of the situation to get past Cafu, but Cafu was very experienced and immediately stuck in position, and Licardo had to hook the ball again and control it, but in this way Cafu was forced to the bottom line.

And Cafu immediately moved, blocking the path of Ricardo's cross.

That's what a world-class right-back looks like! The operation is as fierce as a tiger.

At this time, Li Cardo also ignited a fierce competitive spirit, and he wanted to ignore the one-on-one with Cafu and pass the opponent, and be ashamed.

But in the end, reason prevailed, and he knew that he could not delay, and if he delayed the opportunity, he would miss it.

If you don't want to get past the other party, it's not difficult to just shake off the angle of a cross.

Ricardo stepped on the ball and pulled it back, but Cafu didn't pounce, but just stepped a little closer with a crab step. Ricardo sank his right shoulder and swept the ball from left to right with his foot, which Cafu ate and followed. But Ricardo's swept foot was soon back with the ball! Flick the tail of the cow!

If it is replaced by an ordinary defender, it will definitely be cleaned up this time. But Cafu's judgment was very fast, and he immediately adjusted his center of gravity and followed. At this time, Ricardo raised his left foot and pulled it out heavily, as if he was about to get up and cross, but Cafu immediately raised his leg to block.

But it's still a feint! Ricardo's pulled leg back down, and the whole person turned 180 degrees, widening the distance between him and Cafu.

Cafu hurriedly adjusted his center of gravity and wanted to follow again, but it was too late, and Licardo had already gained enough space to start the ball and did not hesitate to cross with his right foot!

He kicked the ball a little far from the goal, not looking for Fabiano's point, but for Ricardinho, who was inserted in the back row.

The ball didn't fly very high, but it avoided the defender's block and flew straight to Ricardinho's chest.

Ricardinho chests the ball and volleys with his left leg near the penalty spot! The football was almost deformed in that moment, whistling towards the AC Milan goal.

Dida is Brazil's number one goalkeeper at the moment, and he reacted in time with a graceful side-to-side pun, but he was a little slower and couldn't touch the football.

However, Ricardinho played with the outside of his instep, and the football took a slight arc, slightly deviated from his destination, hit the outside of the goalpost, and flew off the bottom line!

AC Milan had a false alarm.

Ricardinho held his head in frustration, and he didn't know why he had so foolishly missed such a must-have goal.

He then gave Ricardo a thumbs up and signaled that the ball was well passed.

They have used this attacking routine a few times in the league, and they have attacked repeatedly, but today they were a little less lucky.

But when you think about Kaka's post in the first half, Sao Paulo's players are balanced. The score is 1:1 and the goalpost is also 1:1, which is fair.

After AC Milan took the ball and Sao Paulo stepped back to the back, Ricardo came to the middle to support Ricardinho, and sometimes stepped forward to help block Pirlo's pass when Ricardinho was pressing for Pirlo.

But Andrea Pirlo is a real midfielder, he seems to have six pairs of eyes, he can always see six ways, and whenever Ricardo thinks he is forcing Pirlo to the point where he has to concede the ball, Pirlo can always find a suitable route to the ball and let their pressing go to naught.

But their pressing still had an effect, at least reducing the efficiency of AC Milan's midfield and delaying AC Milan's transition from defense to attack.

During this time, AC Milan's attack was almost not fighting. And São Paulo's offensive did not improve.

The two sides were scorched, and the game became dull.

Rojas is happy to hear about this situation, although Ancelotti is not sure of winning the championship, but he still played the role of a world famous coach and quickly made personnel adjustments.

Inzaghi, who had a minor injury, came on and replaced Tomasson.

This was followed by the use of Rui. Costa replaced Kaka, who was active in running and was now showing signs of fatigue.

Before the end, Kaka smiled at Ricardo, but the smile was a little reluctant. It was clear that he wanted to stay on the pitch, but he suffered a lot of violations in this game and Ancelotti wanted to protect him and keep him fit for the league.

Ricardo also smiled wryly. In fact, he was also very tired, and his feet were filled with lead, but there was no one to replace in São Paulo.

If the youngsters on the bench were to replace him and Ricardinho, the most tired players in the team, Saint-Paulo would collapse in the minute.

The bench is not thick enough, and it is useless.

During this time, both sides created some killing opportunities, but neither could grasp them. Pirlo's free-kick goes just wide; Pirlo's long pass found Shevchenko accurately, and Shevchenko played a clever pass to Inzaghi, but Inzaghi's shot was blocked by Cheney on tiptoe; Ricardo shoots from the left side of the penalty area and is slapped out by Dida; Ricardinho took a free-kick and sent a low ball that Ferreira scrambled and stabbed into the side-netting......

The clock crept to the 75th minute.
