Chapter 194: Toyota Cup (5)

"We can't play like this anymore." When the first half was over and the two sides were back in the dressing room, Rojas said.

"We have to face up to the gap with AC Milan," Rojas shook his fist, "but that doesn't mean we have to throw up our hands and surrender." Whoever wants to give up, tell me and I can replace you right away. ”

The players looked at each other. After being equalized by AC Milan, there were indeed a few players who seemed absent-minded, and their running was no longer active, and it smacked of surrender.

But at this time, no one was stupid enough to raise their hands and say, "I want to give up."

"Maybe we're behind AC Milan in all aspects. Defence, Offense, Ball Control, Power, Speed...... But the spirit of our São Paulo people will never lose to AC Milan! Rojas roared, "As long as this spirit remains, we still have hope!" Now the score is just a draw, and it's not the end of the world yet! I want you all to hold your heads high and fight like a man for me! Fight until the last moment! ”

Several players unconsciously protruded their chests and abdomen.

Rojas nodded, pleased with the effect of his lecture.

'In the second half, we had to make some changes.

Rojas wanted to make some changes to AC Milan's line-up and what was discovered in the first half. But he doesn't have many cards available in his hand. This is the difference between the Brazilian giants and the European giants, the European giants bring out a substitute at the continental level and the national level, and the bench of the Brazilian giants is full of regional ...... Even if AC Milan plays this game with a full bench lineup, the lineup can be called luxurious compared to Sao Paulo's main lineup.

In the first half of the game, Rojas had been thinking about the countermeasures for a long time, and then quickly made arrangements.

There are no personnel adjustments, and there is really no one on the bench who can change the situation.

The main thing is to make minor adjustments to the existing lineup.

Ricardinho moved forward, pushed to the forward midfield position, spoke directly to Pirlo, and once again strengthened the pressing of Pirlo.

Antonio retreated, focusing on Kaka, to cut off the link between Kaka and Pirlo.

Patrick Ferreira also dropped back, having been a midfielder, and this time Rojas asked him to drop back between the two centre-backs. Because Kaka's counter-attacking breakthrough was too threatening, and Shevchenko and Tomasson also put too much pressure on the Sao Paulo backline.

Ricardo went to the middle to assist Ricardinho in his playmaking work, while also protecting Ricardinho. In the first half, Gattuso stole Ricardinho to the brim, and Ricardo didn't take advantage of Cafu on the left, so he made this adjustment and concentrated on the advantage to break a little.

Rico moved forward as a second striker, but slightly closer to the flanks to cover Fabiano.

After such an adjustment, Sao Paulo's formation actually became 532.

I have to say that this is really in line with Rojas's personality adjustment. Cautious, conservative.

Ricardo actually disagrees, Sao Paulo's defense is very watery, even if it is strengthened, it is still very watery, unless there is a god of luck to favor it, it is impossible to block AC Milan's attack. Instead of strengthening the defense, it is better to strengthen the attack and bravely play against AC Milan. You go in one, and I go in another; If you dare to enter 2, I will dare to enter 3.

It's a pity that Rojas's mobilization was full of momentum, but he lacked the courage to sacrifice his life.

But when you think about it, Ricardo feels that Rojas makes a sense to make such an adjustment.

After all, it's AC Milan! The Serie A giants known for their reinforced concrete defense! With intercontinental goalkeeper Dida, world-class defenders Cafu and Maldini, intercontinental defender Costacuta, and world-class midfielders Gattuso, Seedorf, Pirlo!

Don't attack at that time, but be counterattacked by the opponent.

Rojas is understandably apprehensive.

The 15-minute break is just a few minutes away. Soon, players from both sides came to the players' tunnel and waited to play.

Ricardo has become a favorite of the Sao Paulo team, with several AC Milan players greeting him and even talking to him as they pass by.

Maldini even smiled and sent a direct invitation: "Little guy, you are great, do you want to play at AC Milan?" ”

As AC Milan's captain, standard-bearer, and iconic, his statement was decisive.

Ricardo was a little flattered for a moment. Even when Leonardo first invited him, he didn't feel that way. Maybe it's because Leonardo's coffee is not as high as Maldini's.

If AC Milan had offered him an invitation in the previous life, Ricardo would have agreed without hesitation, even if he had to take a salary cut, he would have to join such a team.

Moreover, in the last life, AC Milan has long since declined and is no longer a giant.

AC Milan in this life, although it is no longer at its peak, the lineup configuration at this time is not much better than the era of the Three Musketeers!

If it weren't for Ronaldo's Inter Milan, Ricardo would definitely agree to come down!

Pity......

Ricardo smiled and said, "Thank you for the invitation, Paul, and if there is such an opportunity, I will seriously consider it." ”

He didn't completely block the road. After all, he doesn't know if Ronaldo will suddenly have a brain cramp and transfer to AC Milan. In another time and space, Ronaldo joined AC Milan after leaving Real Madrid, which shows that Ronaldo also has a good enough impression of AC Milan.

"Let's talk about it in detail after the game, I'll be the east, and I'll invite you to dinner with Richie." Maldini laughed.

"I'll please," Licardo frowned, "and as the winner of the competition, I'll pay for it." ”

Maldini laughed breathlessly: "You...... You're interesting, Licardo, and I'd love to have you as my teammate. Since you are so ambitious, then work hard in the competition, and let me see your real strength. ”

"You'll see, Paul, against a world-class defender like you, I'm going to give 200 per cent." Ricardo smiled in response.

With that, they ended the conversation and started making their debuts.

After the exchange of courts, São Paulo kicks off.

Fabiano kicked the ball to Ricardinho, Ricardo and Rico quickly cut in from both sides, Ricardinho stopped the ball and adjusted, and then made a long pass to the right to find Rico.

This is the routine they negotiated at half-time, and they were to be caught off guard against AC Milan.

The reason why it was not handed over to Ricardo on the left was because Cafu, who was opposite Ricardo, was in too good shape. In contrast, it is more certain to storm Pancarlo.

Rico used his speed to catch up with the ball and stopped the ball steadily, but tried to shake off Pankaro with a feint.

Ricco didn't waste time and Pancaro heads-up, but handed the ball to Fabiano in the middle.

Fabiano made a diagonal pass to the corner on the left, and Ricardo and Cafu started a speed duel!
