After returning to São Paulo, Ricardo, Ricardinho and Fabiano did not have time to rest properly and threw themselves into closed training.

Sao Paulo, who fell behind by two goals in the first leg, wants to come back at home, and it is not ordinary.

Boca Juniors, who have won the Copa Libertadores four times, have significantly more experience in the competition than São Paulo, having won back-to-back titles in 2000 and 2001, and the team that won the title has remained largely intact, with Bianchi still in place as the coach who led them to victory after victory.

Their front trident of Shelotto, Delgado and Carlos Tevez are all in fine form at the moment, with Delgado currently leading the scorer with 12 goals in the Copa Libertadores, while Ricardo is second with 11 goals.

Of course, Ricardo has played five fewer games than him, but it shows how hot Delgado's form is at the moment.

Shelotto, who has been selected for the Argentine national team 10 times, is not a big star, but his style is unpretentious, and he is in the prime of life, and he is a very competent role player.

As for Tevez, despite being only 19 years old, he is already considered by many to be the heir to Maradona – although his style bears no resemblance to Maradona. His popularity in Argentina is no less than that of Ricardo and Kaka in Brazil.

During the two days of training, Rojas focused on arranging the team's set-piece drills and positional attacks.

It is to be expected that Boca Juniors, who have two goals in hand, will definitely not play against Sao Paulo away from home, they will only play comfortably on the counter-attack.

Then for São Paulo, it is absolutely impossible to rush to press, and it must be safe and secure to prevent the other side from sneaking up.

If Sao Paulo didn't score first, Boca Juniors counter-attacked, the suspense of the second leg would have been largely lost.

Set-pieces are also important, as they are a powerful weapon to break down dense defences.

In addition, Kaka, Ricardo and Ricardinho have also added long-range shooting training programs, which are also to cope with the dense defense that may occur in the next game.

Given the tough game ahead of him and the fact that the players were already running out of energy for the week's doubles, Rojas reduced the intensity of his training.

But Ricardo still practiced at his own pace.

In the evening, exhausted, he got into Rico's broken car and returned to his lodgings. He never had time to get his driver's license, so buying a car wasn't on the agenda.

He had a bold idea about cars. If Sao Paulo can come back from behind on 2 July to win the Copa Libertadores against Boca Juniors, they will be able to represent the Americas in the last edition of the Toyota Cup at the end of the year.

The opponent is, of course, the new European champions AC Milan.

If you can be named the best of the team in the Toyota Cup, you will receive a car sponsored by Toyota.

How pleasant it is not to have to spend money on a car yourself.

At that time, as long as you go to get a driver's license during the holidays, you can drive around in a new car.

Of course, all has to go well. First of all, start with a home win over Boca Juniors by more than two goals.

"I heard Louis say," Rico took the wheel, "you rolled the sheets with Ambrosio?" Envy you, a man who is not shallow. ”

Ricardo chuckled: "If you can score in the game the day after tomorrow, maybe you will have a chance to climb Giselle in the future. Bundchen's bed, what's the use of envying me, it's better to train hard. ”

Rico smacked his lips, "Why do you always make a point when you speak?" ”

"That's because I'm good at making chicken soup." Ricardo said seriously.

Rico blinked, apparently not understanding what connection this topic had to do with boiling chicken soup.

Talking and laughing all the way, when they arrived at the house, the two were busy with their own work. Ricardo continued to use the gym equipment to hone his upper body strength, while Rico played live.

At this time, the doorbell rang, Rico put down the handle and walked over to open the door, only to see two people standing at the door, one was Kaka, and the other was a handsome middle-aged man. The man had a short bluish stubble on his chin, he was not too tall, he looked only about 1.7 meters, he had a shrewd breath and a chic smile.

For some reason, Rico always felt that this middle-aged man was very familiar.

"Hey," Kaka smiled shyly, "good evening, is Ricardo here?" ”

"Exercise in there," Rico nodded, luring them in, thinking about who this Zhongnan man is?

Suddenly he shouted, "Mr. Leonardo! ”

The one who came was the hero of the Brazil team in the 94 World Cup in the United States, and the famous Leonardo of Milan!

Leonardo smiled at him, "Hello, Rico. ”

"You know me!" Rico was so excited that his voice trembled a little.

"Of course," Leonardo laughed, "you've been doing well lately, and it's hard not to know you." ”

Naturally, Rico didn't take Leonardo's words seriously. He is well aware that he is only now firmly established in Sao Paulo, and even the fans of Sao Paulo may not know him.

At this time, Ricardo had already come out sweating profusely, his hair was obediently pressed to his forehead, and he greeted Leonardo with a calm demeanor: "Hello, Mr. Leonardo." Kaka, sit casually. ”

Kaka and Leonardo sit down on the living room couch.

"Coffee, or tea?" Ricardo asked.

"Thank you, just clear water." Kaka said.

"Same."

Licardo was not surprised. Athletes rarely drink coffee or tea for a long time, especially coffee, although a small amount of drinking is said to have anti-cancer effects, but long-term drinking in large quantities will lead to increased blood pressure and calcium loss, which is the enemy.

Ricardo went to bring them two glasses of pure water, sat down across from Kaka, and waited quietly for the other to speak.

Kaka was obviously a little cramped, looked at Ricardo, then looked at Leonardo, and stopped talking.

Leonardo was silent for a while, then said with a smile: "Licardo, your performance in the Confederations Cup this time is very exciting, and many European giants have noticed you. ”

Ricardo nodded: "Thank you, but I know I still have a lot to be desired." ”

"Don't be modest," Leonardo said, "I took the liberty to come here today to ask you, are you interested in playing in Europe?" ”

"Of course," said Ricardo without thinking, "as long as there is a chance." ”

"There's always an opportunity," Leonardo said meaningfully, "I wonder how much you know about AC Milan?" ”

"I think I know enough about AC Milan, it's a great team and countless stars are eager to play for it," said Licardo, who guessed Leonardo's intentions from the moment he entered the goal, and this time he was even more certain. "But I'm not thinking about joining AC Milan for the time being. ”

He said it so bluntly that Leonardo could only swallow back the words in his stomach, and said with a wry smile: "In this way, I understand." But there's still a year before you can go to Europe, think about it, okay? Don't jump to conclusions just yet. ”
