Chapter 42: Is the record spicy and easy to break?

He's a finisher, yes, he's slipped a little bit, but he's still the one who's most likely to do miracles when he's on the court. He always manages to keep the ball at his feet and shoot them into the net, and he knows a lot about the pitch. - George. Weah

"In the first half, there were so many surprises from the young players who both named Ricardo and Kaka. Their excellent performance helped Sao Paulo to lead Fluminense 3-1. How will the two sides play in the second half? Let's wait and see. ”

Entering the second half, Fluminense was replaced by an attacking player, an 18-year-old youngster, Carlos. Alberto, their offense was quite fierce. Falling behind by two goals did not completely lower their morale, but only made them more motivated, and I don't know what Fluminense coach Benas gave his players at half-time.

São Paulo was happy to let the opposition attack and counterattack comfortably. With Ricardo and Kaka, two strikers who are extremely fast and have strong dribbling ability, Sao Paulo's counter-attack is impressive.

Fluminense's attack, hoisted into the box, Alberto didn't get to the point, goalkeeper Cheney confiscated the ball. São Paulo's chance to fight back! Kaka is dribbling the ball! Dodged the opponent's tackle and sent the ball out! Fabiano handed the ball to the side and continued to run forward. Licardo takes the ball! It's over, it's cross! Fabiano's header! It's a pity that the top is off. Ricardo passed the ball well, with a clear arc, just around the defenders, and Fabiano was very comfortable on top, but unfortunately did not score. He himself lamented that he had missed this opportunity, and his goal drought continued. ”

Fluminense came again, this time on the right again, and Sidney shook in succession to get rid of the opponent and pass diagonally into the box! Let's see who grabs this point! Returning right wing-back Gabriel smashed the ball with a big foot. ”

Fluminense launched a fast attack and there was a mistake in the pass, and Baptista stopped the ball and handed it to Ricardinho. Ricardinho didn't rush to pass the ball forward, patiently organised. Ricardo ran back and reached for the ball and gave it! Beautiful, this leak, Ricardo leaked the ball to Fabiano, turned and ran into the penalty area. It's back again, Ricardo shoots! Murillo has made a meritorious service! This ball, the angle is quite tricky, and there is power, but Murillo magically hit the ball off the line. Corner kick. ”

Overall, while Fluminense is attacking aggressively, Sao Paulo has more and better chances.

However, the goalkeepers of both sides played well, and the score was tied at 3:1 and has not been rewritten.

The clock came to the 60th minute. Osvaldo counted the time, analysed the situation, and in 10 to 15 minutes he would replace Ricardo.

……

"I would have bet with you if I had known." Jimmy muttered.

Uncle Paul raised his eyebrows and said in a rough voice, "It's not too late to gamble." Do you dare? ”

"What don't you dare!" Jimmy couldn't stand the excitement and counted out 1,000 reais and placed it at the bar, "I bet Ricardo won't be able to complete his hat-trick." ”

Uncle Paul simply took out the crumpled 1,000 reais, put it on the bar and pressed it with a wine glass, laughed so much that his beard shook and said, "You are so generous, Jimmy, I will be able to take the whole family to watch the game again next time." ”

Jimmy sneered: "This little guy is not fit enough, he is already walking on the field, and it will definitely not be long before he is replaced." Don't worry, I'm the one who wins today. ”

"Maybe Ricciardo Jr. doesn't play many games, but he surprises us every time, and this one is no exception." Uncle Paul has become a fan of Ricardo.

"Is the record so easy to break?" Jimmy just sneered.

……

On the pitch, the game continues. Licardo did feel that his physical strength had dropped dramatically, after all, he was only 16 years old, and his body's muscles were not mature, and his physical reserves could not be compared with those of adults.

When the body is tired to a certain extent, it is more likely to be injured, so Licardo is playing sword football with peace of mind, and now protecting himself is the first priority, and only by protecting his body can he make his career longer.

During this time, he was almost invisible to break through with the ball, and sometimes in order to control the pace of the game, he would slow down a little after taking the ball, and no longer pursued a kick. But when Fluminense's players stepped forward to press, he would pass the ball out immediately, without trying to dribble and not give the opponent a chance to foul him.

Another attack by Fluminense came back to no avail, and Sao Paulo counter-attacked. Alessandro handed the ball to Kaka, who was running at high speed along the right side, and Kaka's fitness also decreased, and his running speed was no longer at a high speed.

Before Fluminense could get around, he got the ball to Ricardinho in the middle.

Ricardinho paid attention to the movement of his players before receiving the ball, and when he saw that there was no chance, he planned to control it or slow down with a return pass.

At this time, Fluminense's players were already pressing, and Ricardinho was about to return the pass, when suddenly the corner of his eye noticed that Ricardo was interspersing in the middle, so he changed his attention, quickly pulled the ball and avoided the opponent's tackle, and sent a straight ball close to the turf with his right foot.

The ball was passed with precision and just escaped the defensive line of the opposing defenders, and Ricardo was able to catch up with the ball and lead it sideways in the direction of the goal.

The narrator exclaimed: "Fluminense is in danger!" Licardo takes the ball at the edge of the box! It's a 2-on-2 chance! ”

Ricardo only had two defenders in front of him, and Fabiano was in a position parallel to Cesar, the last defender of the opposition, but he was not very well selected and did not give him a passing line.

Ricardo slowed down a little and pedaled his bike, ready to pass Fluminense defender Andre in front of him. Louis looked for another opportunity.

Andrei. Luis had been played by Ricardo once in the first half, and he didn't dare to slack off at this time, he pressed the center of gravity with a heavy waist, did not rush out to steal, and slowly retreated, just stuck Ricardo's dribbling route and passing route, waiting for his teammates to return to the defense and attack together.

His eyes were glued to Ricardo's upper body, and he was only looking at the football with the rest of his eyes. It's the reaction of a mature defender, and if you stare at the feet of an opposing attacking player, you're likely to be dazzled.

The defenders are in place right away. Ricardo's left shoulder sank, Andre. Louis reacted instinctively, taking a small step to his right.

Ricardo then flicked the ball to the left with the instep of his left foot.

Judged correctly! Andrei. Before Luis could rejoice, Ricardo's left foot quickly pulled the ball back and broke past his left.
