Osvaldo put his hands above his head and applauded Ricardo's hat-trick. He then reversed his original substitution plan and Reinaldo returned to the bench with young centre-back Julio Fernandes. Santos replaces Ricardo.

At the last minute, Santos launched a fierce attack, but Sao Paulo's defence was able to hold at the crucial moment.

As the team that concedes the second-fewest goals at home in the league, Sao Paulo's defense is not very strong in the eyes of Ricardo, more often than not, it is a powerful attack to suppress the opponent, but now when it is focused on defense, it can still prevent Robinho and Diego, who are still slightly immature, especially when they are exhausted.

At the end of the 90 minutes, the fourth referee gave three minutes of stoppage time. Not long, not too short, enough for Santos to turn the tables around.

Ricardo stood on the sidelines with other team-mates on the bench, cheering on his teammates, while the tens of thousands of fans at the Molumbi Stadium became the team's best 12th, singing for São Paulo even when he roared to the point of hoarseness.

Santos were not giving up yet, with Robinho and Diego and Elano still giving their best, and in the last minute of stoppage time they also created a goalmouth danger for Sao Paulo, but Cheney's decisive attack defused their attack.

When the referee finally blew the whistle three times to announce the end of the game, the Morumbi Stadium became a sea of joy, with the main colors of red, white and black drowning out all the strange colors.

Ricardo was impulsive again, and in the song of "Glorious Son of God", he threw his boots, jersey and even his pants into the stands, wearing only one pair of pants, and returned to the locker room with the football he owned.

As soon as he stepped into the locker room, he was drenched in sweet champagne, and Ricardo laughed and cursed, rushed forward to grab the champagne bottle, and sprayed it on the rest of his teammates......

As for the press conference? Whoever wants to go goes, Ricardo now just wants to stay with his teammates and share the joy of victory.

……

The next day's sports media was like a frying pan. All newspapers must have a picture of Ricardo on the front page, and there must be a detailed report about yesterday's passionate game.

The sworn enemy of "Scoreboard", "Reims Sports Newspaper" has always supported Licardo, and has also given an exclusive interview to Licardo. This time they were still unstingy, praising Ricardo to Mars: "23 professional league games, 20 goals, 3 hat-tricks, in the face of such statistics, all words are pale. Considering his age, I think no one will deny that this will be a world-class superstar. ”

"As for some of the grandstanders, do you think that Ricardo will gradually fade into obscurity? Will they be relegated to the second division or even have no ball to play? He must not have seen last night's game. Single-handedly knocking out the high-performing Santos and eclipsing both Robinho and Diego in his shadow, such a Licardo, as long as he turns 18, will be a target for Europe's giants. ”

"Those who make racist remarks should have a lot of pain in their faces right now. Yes, Ricardo is half Chinese, so what? His football is more Brazilian than a pure-blooded Brazilian. The practice of passing four people, including the opposing goalkeeper, and kicking the ball into the empty goal is typical of Brazilian football. Don't doubt it, he's Ronaldo's younger brother and he's in the same style as his brother. ”

Soon, Adrien. Jesús responded by commenting in his column: "The reason why Ricardo has been able to score goals is because the opponent is not familiar with him yet. He was like an ugly duckling that suddenly appeared in a flock of swans, and everyone was curious about him, but they didn't know enough about him, so he could sway around proudly. By next season, when everyone knows enough about him, he won't be able to continue. I'm willing to bet he won't score more than ten goals next season. The ugly duckling, after all, is an ugly duckling, reality is not a fairy tale, he will not become a white swan after all. ”

Ricardo smiled sarcastically and tossed the scoreboard aside. A clown who jumps off the beam, no need to care.

In the middle of next season, Kaka is set to leave, and when the time comes, the core of Sao Paulo's attack will be none other than himself. So, he set himself a goal for next season: to score more than 35 goals.

He doesn't have the confidence to break Ronaldo's record of 45 goals in a single season, but 35 goals can always be done.

Taking off his shirt, Ricardo walked to the gym, and when he passed by the TV, he grabbed Rico who was playing live, ignored the latter's pleas, and forcibly took Rico into the gym.

"Little Ricardo, just take a day off, can you take a day off?"

"I can't rest for half a day." Ricardo said ruthlessly.

"You're already so powerful, why are you still working so hard?"

"Because...... I have higher goals and pursuits. ”

"What exactly are your goals?"

Ricardo shook his head, not expressing his ambitions.

Assist Ronaldo in building a dynasty? It's okay to think about it in your own heart, but it's too shameful to say it.

"All in all, it's a big, big goal."

"I understand, you want to make a lot of money, and then buy a big house, and invite dozens of beautiful women to have a shady conference." Rico smiled sheepishly.

Ricardo said angrily: "This is obviously your dream." ”

"I'll lend you my dreams, you're welcome."

The two were arguing when suddenly the doorbell rang.

"I'll open the door." Rico took the opportunity to get up. For him, he wanted to be lazy when he could, and to make him train like crazy like Ricardo, he would rather switch to playing volleyball.

After a while, he took Kaka in.

Kaka Junxiu had a shy smile on his face: "Didn't bother you, did you?" ”

"It's okay," Ricardo didn't stop moving, and asked with some curiosity, "why didn't you bring Caroline?" ”

"I'm here to join you," Kaka said, gesturing to the gym equipment, a little embarrassed, "Idle is idle." ”

"Welcome." Ricardo said simply.

Kaka took up a machine and practiced on his own.

"By the way, the next opponent has been decided." Kaka said.

'I know, it's Gremio, they beat Juventude.' Licard multi-interface.

'Playing Gremio, there should be no problem, we should be able to win. The opponents in the final are likely to be Corinthians or San Caetano. "Kaka looks optimistic.

"Don't be careless," said Ricardo, "we only played 2-2 in the last meeting with them. ”

"Don't worry, don't worry," Rico said with a smile, "With your current state, it's really easy to win them." ”
