Santos' counter-attack was disrupted by a physically strong Lugano, who quickly handed the ball to midfield conductor Ricardinho.

Ricardinho used an L-shaped turn to get rid of Diego, who pounced fiercely, and when he looked up to find someone, he found that Ricardo was pulling back and raising his hand for the ball.

Ricardinho hesitated, but remembered the excellent play of Ricardo in the previous dozen games, and he still gave the ball away.

As he prepared to catch the ball, Ricardo sensed that Almeida was approaching.

If it had been a minute ago, he would have opted for a quick kick or a feint to try and shake off, but this time, he just held his centre of gravity and waited for Almeida to collide.

"Bang!"

The two men slammed into each other, and Ricardo didn't fly out, but stumbled a little. This deforms his action of stopping the ball, stopping the ball farther away from his body.

However, Almeida also temporarily lost his center of gravity and could not pounce immediately.

Ricardo quickly caught up with the ball, took it into his control, and turned to face Almeida.

Almeida posted up, but Ricardo shook the gap with a simple left and right spurt and quickly forward. Almeida was not completely thrown away, he rushed up and tangled with Ricardo, constantly trying to break the ball from Ricardo's feet, and the kick was very vicious, and one kick was also kicked on Ricardo's calf.

Ricardo just shook a bit and didn't go down for a free-kick. A free-kick in this position cannot pose a lethal threat to the opposition. He continued to dribble the ball, but was unable to pick up the pace under Almeida's entanglement.

Diego was also in pursuit, and he quickly moved in this direction, ready to form a trap on Ricardo.

The commentator's voice suddenly raised: "Ricardo took the ball, he passed Almeida and was still moving forward." Diego is coming, a sliding shovel! Pretty! Ricardo scrambled to kick the ball up and dodge Diego's tackle! ”

Almeida came back and Ricardo looked up and saw that his team-mate was not in a good position and he decided to continue with the ball! Renato came over to help defend and collided with Ricardo! The ball hasn't been conceded yet, and Ricardo is still in control of the ball! Despite stumbling, he was still moving forward with the ball! When he got to the inside of the box, Alex was ready to go up to block, and Ricardo made a shot! It's not a shot, he slams the ball! He fell in the penalty area! ”

The commentator's voice was almost on the verge of breaking, but he was still shouting hoarsely: "The referee points to the penalty spot, it's a penalty!" Ricardo has done a great job! It was his first attempt at a breakthrough in the game, and he won a penalty for Sao Paulo with three men in a row! São Paulo sees a silver lining! ”

"Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay, Licardo was at the edge of the penalty area, collided with Renato, but his toes flicked the ball lightly, the football didn't get out of his control, he staggered a little and continued to dribble forward, broke through into the box, Alex came to defend, Licardo made a fake shot here and shook Alex down. When he was about to shoot with his left foot, Renato slid from the side and was ready to destroy the ball, but Ricardo's shot was another feint, he dunked the ball to the right, Renato did not hold his leg and tripped Ricardo in the box. There is no doubt about this ball, it is indeed a foul and a penalty should be given! ”

Santos' players surrounded the referee and begged and danced with emotion, but the referee remained unmoved and firmly pointed to the penalty spot.

Ricardo sat on the ground for a while, putting on his socks and shin guards that had just slipped off in the tackle before slowly standing up, and the Sao Paulo players had already rushed over to hug him.

"I knew you'd stand up." Kaka whispered in his ear as she hugged him.

Ricardinho placed the ball on the penalty spot and beckoned to Cheney, the captain of his own half. Cheney is the team's number one penalty taker.

But Cheney waved his hand vigorously and signaled that he would not kick the ball. He was worried that if the penalty was not scored, he would give the opposition a chance to counterattack, and Santos was too fast to impress.

Ricardo was about to exit the box, but Ricardinho stopped him: "You can take this ball." ”

Ricardo was a little surprised: "You're the number two penalty taker. ”

Ricardinho smiled: "You created it yourself, it's up to you to punish it." ”

Ricardo only hesitated slightly, then nodded heavily. In terms of penalty kick skills, he is not bad. In terms of mentality, he is also a battle-hardened veteran, and he can't find a reason not to take this penalty.

He swung the ball back and took a few steps back, with his hands on his waist and staring at the opposing goalkeeper Fabio. Costa's eyes, waiting for the referee's whistle.

Sao Paulo's captain Dick Cheney refused to take the penalty, as did Ricardinho, who appears to have taken it himself. It was the first time in his career that he had taken a penalty in an official match, so could he beat the pressure? ”

The Sao Paulo fans held their breath for fear that their exhalations would interfere with Ricardo's free throws. Santos fans, on the other hand, did everything they could to make noise and try to spoil Ricardo's mentality.

But Ricardo was unmoved. At this time, he seemed to be isolated from the outside world, and all the noise could not affect him, and he only concentrated on catching the referee's whistle.

"Dysprosy!"

Ricardo started to run. During this time, he stared at Costa in the eyes, not dizzying his gaze in the slightest, leaving Costa unable to figure out which way he would kick the ball.

His support leg stomped the left side of the ball and his right foot was heavily withdrawn.

Fabio. Costa still couldn't make a decision, but it was too late to make a save at this point, and he rushed to the bottom left corner of the goal.

However, Ricardo's foot did not kick heavily on the ball, before touching the ball, his foot suddenly slowed down, and after Costa had already pounced, his foot was kicked in the lower part of the ball, and the ball swayed, drew an arc, and slowly fell from the middle of the goal, seemingly light as a feather, as heavy as a thousand pounds, and seemed to land within the goal line with contempt and mockery for the home team.

The referee blows the whistle and points to the center circle. The goal is valid.

“Goallllllll！ Ricardo withstood the pressure and scored the ball! It's a spoon penalty! Oh my God, this 16-year-old boy really has a super big heart! When the team was down 0:2, he dared to kick a spoon penalty! ”

"It was the first penalty of Licardo's career, and he scored the ball smoothly and it also made him rise to the top scorer in the national championship this season, with 14 goals in 15 games, which is really daunting!"

Instead of running to celebrate this time, Ricardo stood in place, arms outstretched, as if to embrace something.

The goal itself is not worth mentioning. The important thing is that in the series of physical duels that preceded the goal, he really overcame his avoidance instincts.

The winner is powerful, and the self-winner is strong.
