Despite all the claims that he wanted to show Cruzeiro the strength of the South American champion, Ricardo would not take Cruzeiro lightly.

Leaving aside the fact that Cruzeiro is Ronaldo's parent team, in fact, no one can ignore Cruzeiro's record this season, and it is no fluke that they can be at the top of the table.

Alex, who has scored 10 goals in 30 appearances for the Brazilian national team, is at the heart of their midfield, leading the midfield, as well as excellent free-kicks and long-range shots; Philip. Melo was loaned to Cruzeiro this season and gradually transformed into a midfielder, and his tough defense made Cruzeiro's waist harder; In addition, there are new international Mao Linhuo and 94 World Cup hero Jinhuo in the midfield. Up front, there is experienced veteran Aristiabar, who has played 61 games for Colombia.

The strongest link for Cruzeiro is the defence, and they have conceded the fewest goals in the Brazilian league so far this season.

Their centre-backs are a combination of Chile international Maldonado, who grew up in Sao Paulo but moved to Cruzeiro before Ricardo broke into the first team last season, and Brazil international Chris. The right-back is McCone – who will develop into the world's number one right-back, with the power and speed, the height and legs, and a full-back who can play well both in attack and defence.

If you only look at the current strength and ignore the potential, Cruzeiro is actually firmly ahead of Santos, and it is well deserved to lead the league.

Before this big fight, São Paulo had closed training, and Rojas also made a lot of arrangements for the characteristics of Cruzeiro.

However, it was the visitors who opened the scoring at the Molumbi Stadium when they took advantage of a free-kick in front of Alex into the box, and Maldonado showed no mercy in the face of his old boss, jumping high and flicking his head at goal. Cheney stretched as much as he could, but was still a fraction of a second, and Cruzeiro took the lead in the 23rd minute.

The São Paulo fans were not discouraged, they were still enthusiastically cheering for the home team, and the tricolor flag was flying all over the sky. They didn't wait long.

In the 35th minute, Sao Paulo played a delicate combination on the right side, replacing Simplicio who was absent due to injury, Leonardo tried to break through the road after an unsuccessful attempt, and handed the ball to Ricardinho, who came to pick up.

Ricardinho didn't look at it, and directly crossed the ball with a flowered foot, and the ball flew to the feet of Ricardo. Ricardo directly passed the ball back, then turned and ran forward, Ricardinho understood, did not stop the ball, and stuffed the ball to Ricardo again.

Once again, Ricardo passed the ball directly without stopping, and this time he swept the ball to Fabiano in the middle. When Fabiano stopped the ball, he found that the opposition defender had pounced and there was no space to shoot, so he passed the ball back to Ricardinho.

Ricardinho met the ball and the ball flew high and quickly climbed to the highest point, over the heads of the opposing defenders, and fell sharply. Ricardo caught up with the ball and, without waiting for the ball to hit the ground, volleyed. Although the angle was small, his shot was quite accurate, and the ball went straight to the far corner, catching Cruzeiro goalkeeper Andre off guard.

After finishing the shot, Licardo didn't look at the result at all, and according to the feedback of his feet, he was confident that the goal would be scored, so he took off his shirt and began to run wildly to celebrate.

"Ricardo goalllllll!" The commentator let out a passionate roar at the right time, "Amazing goal! Sao Paulo equalized and the two sides were back on the same page! Ricardo showed his excellent nose in front of goal, great movement and top footwork! It was his 25th Brazilian goal of the season for Sao Paulo and he continues to lead the scorers' charts! ”

"Sao Paulo, who were playing at home, were conservative from the first minute and it was their first threatening attack of the game and they scored the goal!"

……

In the stands, Stella was in a good mood, and not just for Ricardo's goal. She's been in a good mood lately.

Since the morning run with Ricardo was exposed, there were often reporters ambushing their running route in the morning, and once they passed, it was a burst of flashing lights.

Stella was very annoyed and a little uneasy, but then her fame skyrocketed, many shows, exhibitions, ceremonies, high-level social drinks sent her invitations, countless magazines, newspapers and magazines asked her to take photos, and she and her agent were very busy.

Although she was unwilling to rely on the scandal with Ricardo to win attention, Stella also considered denying her relationship with Ricardo in an interview, but after a long talk with her agent, she accepted the reality - at this time, she has no room for bargaining, and must seize every opportunity to climb up. Since Ricardo didn't come forward to clarify, she'd better keep quiet.

And after Ricardo and Ambrosio officially broke up, Stella was also the first to get the news. At first, she felt a little guilty, mixed with a hint of joy; Soon, she realized that her opportunity had come.

How to seize the opportunity and close the distance with Ricardo?

In Stella's view, the only way to start is with football. So in the last few home games in Sao Paulo, she has not dropped a single game, and after each race, she chats with Ricardo about the game during the morning run the next day.

……

Rojas, who has always been conservative, continued his conservative style in this game, and the team has been dominated by solid defensive possession, and the attack is very cautious.

In fact, most attacking players prefer to play attacking football, and Ricardo is no exception, because that style of play is of course more hearty.

However, it is also fun to play relatively conservative football, to concentrate on the whole game, to be mindful of the rare opportunities that arise, and to seize them as they arise and turn them into goals.

After the equaliser, Sao Paulo continued to recover, unhurriedly confronting Cruzeiro.

Rojas stressed in the dressing room that the second half was the time to exert his strength, and it would be good to be able to keep the first half tied.

Even if you start to exert your strength in the second half, you must first stabilize your defense, because Sao Paulo cannot lose this game and cannot continue to be stretched.

If he had to take a risk to win, he would rather choose a secure draw and then steal points from another team rather than lose to a direct rival.

Cruzeiro was also not reckless, and they also chose to hold on first and then counterattack when playing away, so for the rest of the first half, the two teams played extremely dull and returned to the dressing room with a score of 1:1.

In the home dressing room, Rojas was smiling, and although he valued the game in his heart, he did not want to show anxiety to affect the performance of his players.
