Chapter 562: Reversal Drama
The Uruguayan players found that after entering the second half, the Brazilian players were all murderous and judged two teams.
Kaka and Ricardo were both active in taking the ball and no longer afraid of physical confrontation, and Ronaldo's movement was much more active.
After the opening five minutes, Brazil were in full control of the situation and the tempo, and Uruguay were a little out of breath and the goal was stormy.
But in the 51st minute, Kaka drove long down the middle and Gargano brought him down with a vicious tackle from the flank.
Gargano received a fifth yellow card from Uruguay, but Kaka couldn't get up, clutching his ankles and burying his face in the grass in pain.
The Brazilians' emotions were a bit out of control, and Ricardo took the lead in attacking Gargano, but he also kept an eye on the scale and was careful not to let his teammates get too impulsive. If a player from Brazil is sent off at this time, the rest of the game will be even tougher.
It's not time to give up on yourself.
Dunga made a quick substitution and Elano came on.
As Kaka was helped off the pitch, Ricardo went over and said, "Don't worry, we're going to win this game." Rest well and try to come back before the final. ”
Kaka held back tears and nodded with a smile.
The extent of his injury is still undecided, if it is just an ankle sprain and deltoid ligament strain, he should be able to play after two or three days of rest. If you hurt a bone or tendon, it's more troublesome. The team doctor has not yet given a diagnosis, and will wait for the end of the game to do a detailed examination.
Kaka's injury affected the mood of the Brazilian player, with a major mistake at the back. In the 54th minute, Thiago. Silva's pass back to the goalkeeper was too soft, but Cesar was on the edge of the game in time, but his kick-off bounced off Cavani and A-Pereira got on top of the net and fired straight at goal.
Fortunately for Brazil, A-Pereira did not exert force in pursuit of safety and precision, and the ball speed was a bit slow. The experienced Juan returned in time to head the ball over the goal line, otherwise Brazil would have been two goals behind.
After this shock, Brazil quickly regrouped and went on the offensive. In the 59th minute, Ricardo cut inside with the ball on the left side and was closed by M. Pereira and Godin, earning a well-placed free-kick.
Ricardo took the penalty himself, and if you want to shoot directly at the goal, there is also an angle. Muslera was very nervous, and when arranging the human wall, it was also based on the premise that Ricardo would shoot directly at goal, and arranged 4 players to block in front of the ball.
However, Ricardo sent the ball to the back post, and Ronaldo raised his leg high in the crowd to volley a cushion that Muslera did not perform again, and the ball flew into the top right corner of the goal.
"Ronaldo Goalllllllll! Brazil equalised! It was Ronaldo's 15th goal at the World Cup, and he finally broke Gade. Muller's World Cup goal tally record! He became the first man in history! A generation of football kings, adding another jewel to his crown! ”
'Ricardo's free-kick was very good, the arc was big and it was difficult for the defenders to deal with. And although Ronaldo's speed has decreased and his physical confrontation ability has deteriorated, his judgment of the landing point is still extremely accurate, and his shooting skills are still superb! ”
Ronaldo lifted his shirt as he ran to the sideline, revealing the number "15" written on the white jersey inside. The fans at the scene gave him even more enthusiastic applause, and whether it was hostile or not, Ronaldo was indeed a legend in football.
Ricardo chased after him, jumped on Ronaldo's back, and shook his fists with unbridled agitation.
On the bench, Kaka's eyes followed them, revealing envy......
After tying the score, Brazil had more confidence and a more fluid attack.
In the 63rd minute, Licardo switched to the right and crossed with Rico after a low cross, Elano received the ball at the back post and hit the ball into the side-netting with a powerful volley.
Two minutes later, Elano was brought down on the edge of the box and Ricardo took a free-kick, this time opting to shoot straight at goal, the ball went around the wall and fell quickly, but Muslera saved the ball from the bottom line as if it were a hanging.
Brazil's frontcourt players were so active that the Uruguayans had to foul them to block the samba moves.
In the 68th minute, a scene that the Uruguayans were afraid to see appeared. Ricardo suddenly cut inside after dribbling down the left flank, and M-Pereira fell to the ground and made a behind-the-back tackle to bring Ricardo down on the edge of the box.
Referee Ilmatov ran over and showed M-Pereira a yellow card without hesitation.
M-Pereira covers her face with her hands. It was his second yellow card of the game.
The Uruguayan players rushed over and begged Ilmatov's men to show mercy, and some of them could yell at Ricardo: "Look at what you have done!" ”
Ricardo sat on the ground and shrugged helplessly.
In the midst of the siege, Ilmatov was unmoved, pulled out another red card, and shook it at M-Pereira.
M-Pereira left the field in disgrace.
The blow caused the Uruguayans' morale to slip quickly, and the 10-on-11 deficit left their backline in tatters.
In the 71st minute, Ricardo handed the ball to Ronaldo, Ronaldo turned the ball back, Elano shot low directly from the edge of the box, and the ball flew into the bottom left corner of the goal, and Muslera could not do anything.
"Elano Goallllllll! He scored his first goal of the tournament! He looked excited! Brazil made a comeback, and this Brazil team looks invincible! ”
Dunga swung his fist hard and exhaled a heavy breath. Those worries, concerns...... It's all gone.
Brazil is already on winning tracks.
The question now is not whether Brazil can win, but how many.
Uruguay restarted the ball and after a pass, the ball came to the feet of Cavani, who tried to charge with the ball. The 23-year-old striker has good technique at his feet and has also seen his dribbles at Napoli.
But in the old spicy Gilberto. Under Silva's close defence, the ball was lost.
Brazil immediately launched a counter-attack, and as Ricardo was closely marked, the ball was handed to the right.
Rico and Elano combined for a one-two and went well with a deep cross.
Ronaldo dangled a shot at the front point, and Ricardo relied on his speed to get rid of the defender and rushed to the top with a leap.
Muslera didn't make any moves and watched as the ball went into the net.
"Licardo Goalllllllll! In less than 3 minutes, Brazil scored 2 goals in a row and now they are 3-1 ahead! We were still wondering when Ricardo would break out and he would immediately please us with his goals! ”
"It was Ricardo's eighth goal of the tournament, tying the record set by Ronaldo in 2002 and with just one more goal he would be the Brazilian with the most goals in a single World Cup! And his World Cup goal tally has reached 14, just one goal short of Ronaldo's record of 15 goals! Licardo, he's a natural record smasher! ”
