The results of Ricardo's examination are still relatively optimistic, and he only needs to recuperate for 2-3 weeks. However, before the winter break, he was unable to play.

After this game, Inter Milan is still clinging to Juventus, and they are second in the standings with 38 points.

AC Milan showed a tendency to fall behind.

During the injury, Ricardo continued to work on his upper body, but the amount of training was undoubtedly much smaller. During this time, he took on a lot of photos and commercials, helped Stella get her career back on track, and also dealt with some of the backlog of R&L companies.

On the evening of December 16, the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals of the Champions League was not held at UEFA in Nyon, Switzerland, and the injured Ricardo was taken to the draw by Mancini along with captain Zanetti.

There are several rules for the draw: teams belonging to the same FA cannot meet (except for defending champions Inter Milan); The teams in the same group in the group stage cannot meet again; Teams with the same ranking in the group stage cannot meet; The second-placed team in the group stage plays home first.

Inter Milan finished top of Group H and finished second by Rangers, who held Inter Milan to a draw in their final game with seven points. Qualification for this group was not confirmed until the last minute, with Atmediaa with six points and Porto with five.

In the draw, AC Milan drew Bayern Munich; Juventus drew a good draw and they ran into Werder Bremen. Ronaldo's Real Madrid and Arsenal meet, and Chelsea's opponents - who else but Barcelona!

Inter Milan were also lucky, as they drew Eredivisie champions Ajax. This is also one of Ricardo's favorite teams.

In terms of strength on paper, Inter Milan can easily beat Ajax even if they come out as a substitute, but the game still has to be compared.

In the remaining two league games in '05, Inter Milan, who were without Ricardo, knocked out Reggina and Empoli 4-0 and 4-1 respectively. Juventus, on the other hand, were held to a draw by Lazio, so that the two sides were equal on points, and Inter Milan temporarily climbed to the top of the table and became the halfway champions.

AC Milan won consecutive victories against the underdogs Messina and Livorno and did not continue to fall behind.

After playing the game against Empoli on the evening of the 21st, Inter Milan began to take a break. Ricardo is almost recovering from his injury, and he flew back to Brazil with Adriano and Kaka to attend Kaka's wedding.

On the evening of the 24th, 23-year-old Kaka and 18-year-old Caroline held a solemn wedding at the Christian Evangelical Church in São Paulo, with a total of more than 600 distinguished guests, and most of the Milan players were also present.

The wedding venue was closed to the media, so everyone spoke more casually.

Ronaldo's side has a new girlfriend, Brazilian model Jacques. Oliveira.

Ricardo joked to him: "Daddardo, envy not? He pointed to Kaka and Caroline, who looked like golden boys and girls, "Do you want to stand there?" ”

Haka. Oliveira smiled shyly, and Ronaldo laughed: "I'm also married." Only now do I find out that it is better not to get married. ”

Haka. Oliveira's face suddenly lengthened.

Ronaldo asked coldly: "What about you, brother, when are you going to give Stella an explanation?" Stella is a year older than Caroline. ”

Ricardo smiled bitterly and glanced at Stella, who was pretending to be deep beside him, and shook his head: "Then I'm 4 years younger than Kaka." At least until I'm 23 years old! ”

As he spoke, he felt Stella's small hand on his arm suddenly exert force, and two fingers grabbed a small piece of flesh on his arm.

Ricardo remained silent and diverted the topic: "This year's Arsenal is not weak, don't capsize in the gutter." ”

"A team with Thierry Henry," Ronaldo laughed, "is a fool to despise them." But man, you have to believe that I am at my best. ”

"I believe it." The 29-year-old Ronaldo is at the peak of his football career. He scored a horrific 29 goals in 16 La Liga games! Helped Real Madrid win the half-way title.

"I have a hunch that we're going to meet in the final." Ronaldo Road.

"It doesn't have to be in the final, but we'll meet. Dadador, and I'm not going to lose to you. Ricardo said firmly.

"Changzhi is angry, brother!" Ronaldo touched Licardo's head and said with emotion, "Before I knew it, the little guy who followed my ass became a man, and now he dares to argue with me." ”

Ricardo smiled: "When I was a child, you bullied my revenge, and I will take revenge when we meet." ”

"We'll see."

As the wedding progressed, the envy on Stella's face grew stronger. She whispered, "Licardo, when we get married, will we also come to this church?" ”

Ricardo nodded, not making a sound.

"Will you marry me?"

Ricardo hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes." ”

"Hehe," Stella sneered, "you hesitated. ”

"I'm still so young, it's normal for me to hesitate."

"You always have a point anyway." Stella ignored him and stared intently at the pair in front of the altar.

When Caroline softly said "I do", Stella quietly wiped the corner of her eye with her hand...... Caroline came to Milan last year to accompany Kaka, enrolled in university in Milan, and often corresponded with Stella, and the two exchanged handkerchiefs.

After the wedding, they attended a small dinner party hosted by Kaka, and the next day Kaka took Caroline on her honeymoon and Ricardo returned to Rio with Stella.

It was the first time he had brought Stella home. Li Mei was very kind to Stella and dragged her parents for a long time.

Ricardo and his alcoholic father still don't have much to say, and they don't have much in common with their other brother, and spend most of their time with Li Mei.

After Christmas, he even stayed in Li Mei's restaurant for two days, signing and signing softly, which was regarded as an advertisement for Li Mei.

As soon as New Year's Day passed, he returned to Italy alone, while Stella stayed in Brazil to take a few photos.

Inter Milan continued their good momentum in January, drawing 0-0 at home to Parma in the Coppa Italia to reach the last eight, before beating Lazio 2-1 away in the quarter-finals.

In the league, they have won five games, extending their winning streak to 13 games and currently sitting in first place with 59 points.

Their main rivals, Juventus, were unexpectedly held to a draw by Lecce and are currently second in second place with 57 points.
