The 2010 World Cup kicked off with hosts South Africa and Mexico taking to the field.

It's a festival for fans, a carnival for the media, and...... The end of the gambling dog.

In the opening game, the South African team relied on Chabalala's goal to draw 1:1 with Mexico, and finally did not waste the home advantage.

Brazil is still waiting for their debut.

Although it has been called "the least star-studded Brazil in the past 30 years", the players of the Brazilian team are still very optimistic about their future.

With Ronaldo and Ricardo in the two generations before and after, Kaka, the best right-back in the world McConn, and the excellent goalkeeper Cesar, the Brazilians don't feel that there is any team on the planet that is their opponent.

In the two warm-up matches before the World Cup, Brazil defeated Zimbabwe and Tanzania by a margin of 5:0 and 7:1 respectively.

These two games are not even a warm-up, they have no reference value, and the only use is probably to help Licardo break the record.

In these two games, Ricardo was on fire, scoring a total of eight goals, setting his national team goal record to 90, officially surpassing Ronaldo as Brazil's all-time top scorer.

And he wasn't even 24 years old.

Of course, the media and fans are no longer amazed, they are used to Ricardo breaking all kinds of records.

The only topic of interest to them now may be when Ricardo will score his 1,000th career goal.

Before the game, Dunga was unable to confirm the main line-up.

The two formations he uses in training and matches are the now popular 4231 and the traditional Brazilian 442.

Among them, 4231 is used more and can be seen as a standing formation, while 442 is often used when special tactics need to be executed.

In Brazil's current 4231, the main goalkeeper is undoubtedly Cesar, the main right wing-back is McConn, Lucio occupies a main central defender position, and the positions of Kaka's forward and Ricardo's left winger have also been determined.

But the candidates for the rest of the positions, Dunga is still under investigation.

For example, left-back, if you look at experience, of course you should choose Gilberto. But Gilberto is 34 years old and his physical fitness has declined dramatically. Considering the physicality of the confrontation, and the very important speed attribute of the full-back, Bastos, who was born in '83, is undoubtedly more suitable.

In the midfield position, Gilberto. Silva is also 34 years old, too old, and his fitness and running ability make it difficult for him to cope with the high intensity of the World Cup.

But Baptista is not in good form; The 23-year-old Ramirez is still a little immature; Felipe. Merlot is sometimes too reckless and not so reassuring; Hernanes, who can play as a midfielder or a midfielder, is a bit tender and has a weak defensive ability. Dunga had a hard time choosing.

In the right winger position, Rico is in good form, and Kaka and Elano can also play in that position. In recent years, Brazil has not seen a talent in the right winger position to catch Dunga's eye, and the selection of Rico is also a last resort.

The lone striker position is the biggest headache for Dunga. Ronaldo is expected to return, even if he is in poor condition, he is also the first love of many fans, if Ronaldo is not played, Brazilian fans will be noisy.

But Dunga actually prefers Fabiano, a player who doesn't stand out much, but is very well-balanced, and has a good understanding with Ricardo and Kaka.

Dunga would love to bring together Baptista, Kaka, Ricardo, Rico and Fabiano, the original São Paulo Five, in the tournament to see if he could summon the dragon.

In training, Dunga tried a variety of combinations, none of which were too satisfying.

There wasn't much time left for him to prepare.

Brazil is about to make their debut.

Two days before Brazil's opening game, after training sessions, Ricardo asked Dunga for leave.

Disguised by a baseball cap and sunglasses, he left the hotel through the back door in a low-key manner, and got into a taxi to a café.

Entering the café, he looked around for a while, and soon saw Olivia sitting in a corner, looking down and playing with her phone.

Ricardo walked over and sat down, and was about to speak, when Olivia said, "Don't make a sound, wait until I'm done with this game." ”

Soon the waiter came up and asked him what he needed. Li Ka ordered an extra cup of white wine. Olivia finally put down her phone and looked up.

She put on some light makeup, and her mixed-race face was intoxicating, especially those eyes, which were like black gems falling in the snow, shining so brightly that people couldn't take their eyes off them.

"Why are you asking me out? If a reporter finds out, I'll have to be programmed again. Olivia pouted cutely.

Li Cardo smiled slightly: "The reporter also wants to eat, be tolerant." ”

"I don't like it!" Olivia shook her head vigorously, "The boys in the school don't dare chase me anymore. ”

"Do you have a crush on any boys?" Ricardo asked seductively.

"Nope." Olivia looked down and played with her nails.

"Actually," Licardo coughed, "you used to say when you were a kid that you wanted to be my girlfriend...... So it's not a choreography. ”

"I don't remember," Olivia scoffed, "who remembers when I was so young." ”

"It's not too young, I remember you were 12 years old at the time......"

Olivia said with a smirk: "Yo, do you remember when I was 12 years old, you said that if you really got along with me at that time, how many laws would you break?" ”

"That's why I didn't promise to be nice to you at that time." Ricardo was a little embarrassed.

"But at least you agreed, and when I grow up, you'll find me a girlfriend, right? The result? It's not like I'm looking for another woman. "Olivia wrinkled her little nose and was cute.

"Haven't I come for you?" Ricardo said cheekily.

"But I'm not afraid of you." Olivia tilted her head.

From the bottom of her eyes, Licardo saw a faint smile. He really doesn't know how to get along with women, but he's not an idiot who can't read his face.

He laughed: "When I first joined Manchester United, you said that as long as I led the team to win the Champions League, you would introduce me to a girlfriend. ”

"Didn't I bring a lot of beautiful women to your house? The most beautiful girl in our school, I collected it all and gave it to you, you don't want it yourself. ”

"I don't like those, and now I just want you."

Ricardo could clearly see a red glow rising from Olivia's ear, slowly dyeing her entire face red.

Olivia bared her teeth and made a fierce expression: "What do you want, who stipulates that you must give it to you if you want?" ”

Ricardo smiled but didn't say a word.

"Hmph," Olivia tilted her head over, "bring the World Cup back first, and I'll think about it later." ”

"It's quite difficult."

Olivia stood up coldly, bent down, pecked Ricardo in the face, and sat back down as if nothing had happened, smiling mischievously. "Then let's give you a little encouragement first."
