Osvaldo didn't let me into the squad today, so it's so unpleasant! I knew he wanted to prove that São Paulo could have played without me. But you don't look at the standings now...... Is it appropriate to be angry with me at this time? I want to play, I want to play! —Ricardo's intimate diary

Osvaldo was also a tough temper. As if to prove that São Paulo is still a strong team without Ricardo, he still did not include Ricardo in the squad for the away game against Atletico Parranesis.

It stands to reason that there is Louis. With a luxury squad like Fabiano, Kaka and Ricardinho, there should be little suspense in Sao Paulo's victory over Atletico Paranise. However, the weather was not good, Curitiba faced heavy rains, the Baishada stadium turned into a swamp, and Sao Paulo, who played more delicately, suffered.

In the 48th minute of the second half, Atletico Paranise took a corner, Cheney came out but did not hold the ball, and the ball was out of his hands, causing chaos in the Sao Paulo penalty area. Paranice Athletic's left-back Fabiano stabbed a shot in the crowd and the ball hit Sao Paulo centre-back Giulio. Santos' foot changed lines and bounced into the net.

Athletic Paranes, playing at home, took a surprise lead.

Sao Paulo then fought back under Osvaldo's command, but Kaka's long-range shot into the corner was miraculously saved by Atlético Paranise goalkeeper Basso, who then hit Basso with a close-corner follow-up shot.

And Baptista and Ricardinho both had a fraction of a millimeter on goal. At the last minute, Osvaldo sent youngsters Elton and Rico on the field, sacrificing a front three, but still failed to break through the door of Athletic Paranis, and could only watch Atletico Paranise proudly take the three points.

In the post-match press conference, Osvaldo still appeared very calm, did not criticize the players too much, and took the blame on himself, believing that he had underestimated the difficulties of the game and lacked on-the-spot command.

And when the reporter mentioned Ricardo again, Osvaldo's answer was intriguing: "Ricardo is undoubtedly one of the best young players in Brazil right now, but I don't think he has the ability to change the situation of the game on his own. We already have very good players, Kaka, Ricardinho, Fabiano, etc., and I believe that with the squad we have we can cope with the next games. ”

These words are reverie. Could it be that Ricardo has already fallen out of favor with Osvaldo? In the future, Osvaldo is not going to send him out?

The media throughout Brazil began to complain about Ricardo, believing that with his performance, he could get a main position in any team, so why be trapped in Sao Paulo.

Corinthians, Flamengo and others have begun to extend olive branches to Ricardo again.

Even Fabiano. Farah also called to ask what Ricardo thought, and Ricardo replied to him with only one sentence: "Just keep everything as it is." ”

Lecco was conflicted about Ricardo's absence for two consecutive games. On the one hand, he is glad that Ricardo did not continue his brilliant performances, and the contract negotiations should be able to be agreed on lower terms; On the other hand, he was worried that Ricardo would become dissatisfied with the club and turn to other teams. He made several more attempts to contact Fabiano. Farah, however, never answered his phone and seemed determined to resume negotiations in a few weeks.

In the past few days, many reporters have blocked the gate of the Brafonta training base, trying to interview Ricardo, hoping to get a big news, but how can Licardo do do what they want? Speaking to the media, Ricardo did not show the slightest negative emotion: "Osvaldo is the manager of the team, he knows what he is doing, and I support his decision. ”

'Sao Paulo has a group of good players and we deserve some honours, we haven't been in great form in these two games, but I'm sure the team will improve soon under Osvaldo's direction.

"Osvaldo has the right to choose who he sees fit to be on the roster and all I have to do is stay fit in training and wait for him to call."

'No, no, no, I didn't have any problems with Osvaldo and he didn't let me play for tactical reasons, I can understand that.

"My agent is on leave and will continue to negotiate with the club when he is done. I had a great time in Sao Paulo and didn't think about going to any other team. ”

As for the reporters who asked about what happened in front of the nightclub that night, Ricardo was silent and did not give any response.

In training, Ricardo has re-engaged in joint training, and Osvaldo's attitude towards him has returned to the way it was. Osvaldo, who was on the training ground, always had a smile on his face and didn't seem to be bothered by the two winless games at all, making it confusing to figure out what he was thinking.

At the end of the day, Osvaldo left Ricardo alone to talk.

He looked smiling, not like he was about to reprimand, and Licardo was relaxed. "Boss, what's the matter?"

"You're good," Osvaldo opened a newspaper for Licardo to look at, "it turned out that it was Alessandra who was with you that night. Ambrosio. That's a recognized beauty. ”

After reading it at a glance, it turned out that the woman revealed in an interview that it was her who was with Ricardo that night, and affirmed that nothing happened to the two, but that she was drunk and helped by Ricardo, who was not the kind of wanderer that people imagined.

It turned out that she was Ambrosio.

It's no wonder that Ricardo thinks she's a little familiar, the original owner used to hang a poster of her in the room, and the 21-year-old is currently one of Brazil's most widely regarded supermodels, and her future is limitless. The prescient Ricardo also knew that she would be named one of Brazil's three supermodels in the future, becoming the calling card and pride of the whole country.

"Nothing happened to me or her." Ricardo looked up.

"I know that Ambrosio himself has clarified," Osvaldo said, "that you have been in good shape in training these days, are you ready to compete?" ”

"I'll be ready at any time."

"I'm glad that you stayed awake during this time, didn't get influenced by the outside world, didn't talk nonsense to the media, you showed the professionalism of a footballer," Osvaldo said with a smile, "In my plan, you will be an important member of the team, but I can't start you every game, it's protection for you, you know." ”

"I understand, sir."

A small episode passed, and Ricardo didn't know if Osvaldo still had a problem with him, anyway, he really didn't have any opinion of Osvaldo and could understand Osvaldo's actions.
