'In the second half we had to step up our attack, there was nothing else we could do,' Pereira said calmly, 'I don't think we played worse than the opponent in the first half, but you did slack in the last moments and I hope you don't slack off in the second half. ”

'We didn't do enough to limit Zidane. Of course, he was flexible and in the second half, Gilberto followed him closely. No matter which side he runs to, the player in that position has to go over and defend and try to keep the two of them between him at all times. Marsh. Robert, you're going to have a lot of pressure on your defense in the second half. ”

"Lucio, you have to be more resolute in your grabs, give Ze. Robert provided assistance. Juan, you keep the line and don't take it easy. ”

……

After setting up the defensive tasks, Pereira began to set up the midfield again. He made a change, with Adriano coming on to replace Juninho Jr.

This upset Juninho Jr.

Ronaldinho was also not happy because his position was about to retreat, playing with Kaka in a double midfield.

In fact, it is actually a better choice for Adriano to break forward alone, and Ronaldinho and Ricardo to play left and right wingers.

It's a pity for Pereira, between 442 and heresy, 442 is always chosen. A stubborn old man will never change easily.

Pereira asked Ronaldinho and Kaka to organise their attacks and snatch back the midfield, which was a bit out of control in the first half.

With Adriano going hand-to-hand with the French defenders, Ricardo dropped back slightly and carried out the tactical duties of a hidden striker, responsible for connecting the midfield, passing the ball, or receiving Adriano's pass and cutting in the back row to attack.

Ricardo still likes this tactical responsibility. This position gives him more freedom and gives him room to get up and make better use of his speed and movement.

He and Ronaldo are different types of strikers. Comparatively, Ricardo feels more like Robert in the forward position. Baggio is a number 9 and a half, not a pure 9.

Of course, he has more speed and body than Baggio.

If you really want to talk about his template, it should be Bailey's template. Pele is also good at left winger and shadow striker. Of course, he's still nowhere near as good as Bailey.

Adriano sat next to Ricardo. When he heard that he was going to play, his expression came alive again.

"Ricardo, you know what, when I see Thuram on the other side, I feel like I'm playing Juventus, it's very exciting," Adriano laughed lightly and hit Ricardo with his elbow, "We're teaming up again, knocking them over!" ”

"Take it easy," said Licardo calmly, "don't get dazed by them in hand-to-hand combat, and play smarter." ”

Adriano said with a bitter face: "You know I'm not good at using my brain. ”

He gestured at the small hill-like muscles on his arm: "I'm better at using this." ”

"You can bully Thuram for his old age." Ronaldinho chimed in from the side.

"He's always old, but he's not weak at all," Adriano retorted, "I played him twice a season and I know him very well. His partnership with Cannavaro is definitely no worse than that of Maldini and Nesta. ”

"I'm kidding," Ronaldinho looked scared, "that old man is really good." I didn't take advantage of him in the first half, the experience was too old. ”

It wasn't until Pereira's stern gaze came over them that they stopped communicating.

Although the score was behind, the mentality of his teammates was still relatively relaxed, and Ricardo felt more confident.

After halftime, everyone walked out of the players' tunnel. The French players on the opposite side still looked serious and did not look relaxed.

Just one goal ahead, it's not time for them to relax.

What team in the world would dare to say that a one-goal lead over Brazil at half-time is a sure win? Italy, which has the best defense, does not dare to say the same.

In front of the luxurious attack group of the Brazilian team, a little slack, the consequence is to concede goals one after another!

In the second half, Brazil kicked off and they immediately attacked.

"Hopefully the second half will be a little better," the commentator said, "the first half was too dull and the only bright spot was Zinedine Zidane." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, France broke the ball and launched a counter-attack, Cafu forced Zidane to bring down, and France won a free-kick.

Zinedine Zidane took the penalty and slotted the ball into the box to find Henry with precision.

Henry jumped high and flicked his head at goal, but Vieira was also snatching the spot, and he interfered with Henry, causing Henry's header to miss the middle and go over the crossbar.

A minute later, Brazil attacked the French penalty area, and Ricardo received a through ball from Kaka and tried to dribble down a low cross, but the ball was blocked by Galla.

Ronaldinho took a corner kick and smashed the ball into the box, Thuram headed it out, and Kaka from the edge of the area volleyed directly to the ball and hit Makelele with a kick.

Ricardo slickly leaped out from behind Makelle and picked the ball up for a straight hook, but his shot was deflected wide.

"The second half was really better," the commentator said happily, "and the Brazil team had to press out and attack, and the tempo on the pitch was noticeably quicker. ”

Ricardo got up from the ground, his expression not annoyed. This ball is a blind kick, and there is not much chance of scoring.

France took a goal kick and after the battle, they slowly controlled it in midfield.

Zinedine Zidane picked the ball away from Ronaldinho for a tackle and headed it to Abidal, and France continued to attack. Zinedine Zidane teased his opponent with Ronaldinho's best way of kicking, and Ronaldinho looked deeply shocked, struggling to chase back and finally destroy the ball.

The French team sent a sideline ball, Abidale threw the ball to Zidane, Zidane was about to repeat the old trick, picked the ball and passed people, and a person ran from behind and hit him.

The collision was not too heavy, but Zidane lost his balance and stumbled. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the comer poked the ball away and handed it to Kaka, who turned and stepped forward.

Zidane looked back and saw that the person who hit him and broke his ball was none other than Ricardo.

Ricardo stepped forward at high speed, Kaka immediately went straight to hand the ball back to his feet, Licardo adjusted a step to control the ball, and immediately shifted the ball to the left side with a big foot. Carlos appears at the landing point, stops the ball on his chest, and then dribbles the ball to the baseline at high speed.

Before he could reach the baseline, he tried to pass the ball, and the ball hit Sagnol's leg and bounced high, but it still flew towards the top of the box.

Adriano sank slightly, leaned back against Thuram, pressed Thuram to keep back, and then jumped up and shook his head to the right to top the ball.

Ricardo had just arrived, raised his leg to stop the ball neatly, dunked past Gala, and shot with his leg!
