There are only three rounds left in the Brazilian National Championship.

Sao Paulo's last three opponents were: Vitoria at home, Paisandu away and Gama away.

Three opponents, three weak teams. Among them, Victoria and Paisandu are both relegation-free, with no hope of the playoffs, and they are far from qualifying for the Copa Sudamericana.

And Gama is already deep in the relegation zone, it is impossible to get out, and this team has no spirit.

So in these three games, São Paulo can be said to be difficult to lose.

But in order to have a better position in the playoffs, Osvaldo still wants to go all out to grab points.

In the match against Victoria, except for Ricardo and the injured Simplicio, all the main players were put on the line-up.

At the pre-match press conference, a reporter questioned this, and Osvaldo's explanation was that Ricardo's injury had not healed, so it was on the safe side that he did not start.

In fact, Ricardo sat on the bench for the full 90 minutes, watching his team win 3-0.

He also cheered and celebrated when his teammates scored. He was also nervous when Victoria launched a threatening attack. Just like any other substitute.

He was well aware that the cameras on the scene would find him every now and then to capture his expression. If he expresses dissatisfaction or behaves differently than everyone else, the media will make a big fuss after the game.

He didn't want this little contradiction between himself and Osvaldo to be known to the whole world, and it was better to nip it in the bud.

After the game, when he and Rico walked to the players' tunnel, they were unsurprisingly stopped by reporters on the sidelines.

"Why didn't you play in today's game?"

Ricardo smiled slightly: "Osvaldo has already explained, my injury has not healed yet, and he asked me to continue to rest in this game." ”

"Are you seriously injured?"

"It's not serious, it's just a little muscle strain, and it'll get better soon."

"What do you think of this game?"

'Victoria is a quality opponent and I'm glad we got a win at home and moved up to second place, which is one step closer to our goal.'

"What do you think about Kaka's hat-trick in this game, the first hat-trick of his career, and it also made him overtake you in the scorers' charts?"

Ricardo replied with ease: "Kaka is a very talented player and in great form, I'm not surprised at all that he scored a hat-trick. I'm happy for him and as for the scorer list, I never took it personally, as long as the team wins. ”

This answer was very appropriate, and the reporter could not find any place to use the topic.

However, this game was not the focus of media attention in this round, and even the news that giants Palmeiras had lost again and booked a relegation spot in advance could not make headlines.

The major sports media are focusing on the same thing: Scolari's resignation.

Scolari, the decorated coach who led Brazil to the 2002 World Cup, has announced his resignation as head coach of the national team.

For Scolari, he was a quick retire, but for Brazil as a whole, who will lead them to defend the 2006 World Cup has become a hot topic of discussion.

The names of several coaches were frequently mentioned. Among them, the most vocal is the current Corinthians coach Andreas Pereira, who led Brazil to the 94 World Cup title.

However, Pereira was vague in the interview, neither explicitly agreeing nor refusing: "I will seriously consider it, but at the moment my focus is on Corinthians and I hope to lead this team to some glory." ”

The so-called honor, of course, refers to the championship trophy of the Brazilian National Championship this season. Then it is certain that he will not take over the position of head coach of the national team at least until the end of the season.

While the outside world was hotly discussing the choice of Brazil's head coach, Ricardo was in the studio, being fiddled by the makeup artist.

He didn't squirm, he was used to it. Although he was only a national-level star in his last life, he still filmed a lot of commercials.

"Alright, perfect!" The female makeup artist in her 30s stopped, took a few steps back, and admired her work with a satisfied expression.

"You're very handsome, Ricardo, and it makes my job a lot easier," she laughs, "and you're going to have a lot more female fans after this ad airs." ”

"Thank you for your skill." Ricardo smiled politely. He looked at himself in the mirror, his skin itself was very handsome, almost the same level as Kaka, except that Kaka's skin was whiter, and he had a kind of sculptural beauty with a knife and axe; His face is more Asian, with less fair but delicate skin and softer features.

And under the wonderful hands of the makeup artist, he seems to be a little older than his real age at this moment, he looks like he is in his 20s, handsome and extraordinary without losing his masculinity, and the smile on the corner of his mouth can make countless young girls with spring bang their hearts.

For example, the girl who had just walked in stared straight at Ricardo and let out a sigh, "Hello, Lei Feng, see you again!" ”

Ricardo smiled: "Sorry, it was just a joke. It's a pleasure to see you again, Miss Ambrosio. ”

"I accept your apology. But please call me Alexandra, that's what my friends call me. Ambrosio smiled, her well-tailored clothes making her figure look so attractive that the whole studio seemed to shine with her appearance.

Ricardo stood up, Ambrosio was wearing high heels, almost as tall as him, and he looked Ambrosio in the eyes: "Are you a fan of São Paulo?" ”

"No, no," Ambrosio said with a smile, "I'm just your fan." ”

"That's a coincidence," said Ricardo with a laugh, "and I've always had your poster in my room." ”

"Really?" Ambrosio said happily, "But why did you pretend not to know me that day?" ”

Ricardo shrugged, "I can't believe the fairy in the painting just appeared in front of me." ”

Ambrosio was undoubtedly overjoyed by this compliment, and she pursed her lips and smiled: "I can't believe that I can have the opportunity to shoot commercials with the God-given son of St. Paul." ”

"God-given son?" Ricardo raised an eyebrow.

"That's what I heard from the fans when I was watching the game. The fans of Sao Paulo have given you a new nickname, don't you know. ”

"First time I've heard of it."

Small talk quickly brought the two closer together, and they didn't stop talking until the camera equipment and lights were ready, and the director came over to tell them the script.

But even when listening to the director's narration, Ambrosio threw a charming look at Ricardo from time to time.

Maybe it's her habitual movements, or maybe it's ......
