Chapter 254: Next Time We Will Definitely Win
When it comes to winning and losing in football, some people think that winning or losing is not important, what matters is the spirit that football represents.
Some people think that playing football is just for fun, and the important thing is that the body is exercised.
There are also people who regard victory and defeat as very important, and think that victory and defeat are everything.
Ricardo's idea was, if not to win, what else to play in professional football? Go back and play beach soccer and have a good time enjoying it.
At the end of the day, football is a competitive sport. Victory is the answer to the competition, and it is the only correct solution.
If you're not here to win, don't get in on the competition.
All the explanations and justifications are nothing more than the fear of losing the competition.
In the professional arena, you have to give everything to pursue the ultimate victory!
Those who play professional football and say that they are happy and don't care about winning or losing are hooligans!
If you aim for victory, you can't give up until the last minute.
In the history of football, there are too many stories of last-minute reversals that inspire generations of footballers to fight, fight, dedicate, and fight until the last second.
Little did Ricardo know that this game would be a boring game in which AC Milan took the lead, and then used possession and defense to maintain a score of 1:0 until the end, which was forgotten by the fans in the blink of an eye; It was also a classic game that staged a reversal in the last minutes and was kept in the memory of the fans for a long time.
Interestingly, the ending will not be revealed until the last minute.
And he can use his own efforts to influence this ending.
91st minute. Ricardo picked up the ball on the left side of the penalty area, slotted around with Pirlo and Ambrosini in an effort to keep the ball clean and split it when he saw Favali cut in from behind.
Favali took the ball forward, took the ball and passed to the penalty area, looking for Ronaldo's point, at this time Ronaldo had three defenders around him, in addition to Maldini and Costacuta, Gattuso also retreated to the penalty area to participate in the defense.
Ronaldo had just one touch of the ball, and he started again in the moments after the stoppage, taking advantage of the sharp change in tempo to shake off Gattuso and make a small opening.
But instead of rushing to shoot right away, he made another adjustment, which allowed the AC Milan defence to once again protect the goal.
Although Ronaldo is also very good at protecting the ball, it is not his forte, after all, his strength is dribbling in high-speed sports.
And at this time in the penalty area, his strengths cannot be brought into play. After such a pause, they immediately fell into a siege.
But Ronaldo didn't panic. Not to mention that he joined the national team at the age of 17 and won the World Footballer at the age of 20.
He knew very well that Ricardo must be behind him at this moment.
This was discussed during the exchange between the two.
Faced with the bag of three AC Milan players, Ronaldo did not return his head, and suddenly slammed the ball with his backheel.
Wearing the number 10 Nerazzurri, Ricardo appeared in the passing lane. Beside him, Ambrosini, was tangled with him, stealthily tugging at his arm and slowing him down.
If it were 10 years from now, Ricardo would probably go down and fight for a penalty in the open.
But in this day and age, especially in the period before the phonegate, if he goes down, it is a waste of a great opportunity to attack.
Ricardo did his best, and although Ambrosini was a newcomer and fit, he was still a little slower than him in terms of pace. Ricardo touches the ball first.
He didn't stop the ball and didn't try to hit the goal, but simply flicked the ball with his left foot into the far corner of the goal.
"Ricardo took control of the ball and handed it to Favali, who crossed first. It was a low ball, Ronaldo got the ball, didn't shoot, now there is no angle, what will he do? Heel pass, Licardo ...... It's passed! The narrator's voice rose sharply, "Adriano!" Unguarded! Shot! ”
Adriano goal!! AC Milan made a serious mistake by keeping an eye on Ronaldo and Ricardo and ignoring the terrifying killer Adriano! Adriano was unmarked and scored with ease! ”
"In the second minute of stoppage time, Inter equalised! It was the result of their hard work throughout the game, they fought hard, they didn't give up, and now they got the goals that deserved them! ”
Adriano's composure shot was the finishing touch, while Ricardo's swift and resolute forward and wide-sighted pass were the prerequisites for the goal. Ronaldo's possession in tight areas and imaginative back-heel passes were also important factors in the goal. Although the final shot was very simple, judging by the quality of the combination, this goal can definitely be rated as one of the top five goals of the season! ”
Adriano rushed to Licardo, who was passing the ball to him, and jumped on top of him excitedly, and at 189 cm tall, he was like a giant bear, making the bones of Ricardo's body squeak.
"Oh, you bastard! My waist is about to break! Ricardo exclaimed.
Ronaldo also came over to join the revelry, he ripped Adriano off Ricardo and the three of them danced a samba on the field.
By the time the game resumed, AC Milan had no heart to attack again, and Inter Milan also wanted to save the hard-won draw and focus more on defense. In the last minute or so of the game, it was almost a formality.
When referee DeSantis blew the whistle three times to signal the end of the game, Kaka walked over to Inter Milan's Brazilian trio for a cordial conversation and praised the goal created by their brilliant combination.
"In the national team, if you can play like this, I can't imagine a reason why we can't win next year's World Cup." Kaka said with a smile.
"You have to be in good shape," Ronaldo laughed, "Football is a team sport, you can't win by a few people. ”
After a while, Cafu also came to greet them. Before, there was a bit of unpleasantness between Ricardo and Cafu on the field, but as the game ended, those unhappiness quickly dissipated.
For Cafu, the old-timer of the national team, even Ronaldo must maintain a certain amount of respect, let alone the young Licardo.
The five of them were chatting when Pirlo walked over with his shirt in his hand. "Ricardo," he smiled, "can you swap jerseys with me?" ”
"Okay, Andrey." Ricardo was a little flattered in his heart, but he didn't show it. Although Pirlo can become the world's top midfield master in the future, he is only a player at the peak of the continental level at the moment, and he is still on the same level as Ricardo, whether it is his own strength, popularity or status in football, he is not necessarily higher than Ricardo.
After quickly taking off his wet jersey and handing it to Pirlo, Ricardo said: "It's nice to have the opportunity to play against you. But there are at least two Milan derbies every season and we will definitely win next time! ”
