Chapter 43: Hat-trick
"Oxtail!" The narrator's voice suddenly rose an octave, as if burning with a flame of passion.
The act of flicking the tail of the bull has a special meaning for Brazilians. When Rivelino created this movement, this pleasing way of showing the flexibility and technical beauty of football is considered one of the masterpieces of Brazilian football.
And Ronaldo and Ronaldinho carried forward this action and made it famous all over the world. Ronaldo's tail flick was faster, and he passed his opponent with lightning speed; When Ronaldinho does this, his movements are relaxed, more rhythmic and beautiful, almost like dancing samba on the court.
This action of Ricardo is slightly different from the previous two, and it is full of personal characteristics. The rhythm of his flicking of the tail is varied, first slow and then fast, so that AndrΓ©. Luiz couldn't keep up with his rhythm at all, which was one of the results of Ricardo's imitation of Messi's way of playing.
The whole stadium erupted in exclamation. There were also many who held their breath and waited to see if Ricardo sent the football into the net. They were suppressing their emotions and waiting for the final outburst.
'Ricardo got past Luiz and now he's facing the goalkeeper and he can shoot! There was no shot, he chose to pass, Fabiano, Fabiano scored the ball! SΓ£o Paulo leads 4:1! β
"It's a babysitter ball, all Fabiano has to do is hit the ball into the empty net, and this time he didn't let the fans down, he didn't waste the chance!"
"Ninety per cent of the credit for this goal goes to Ricardo, who, after a beautiful escape, selflessly crossed the ball to Fabiano to help him break the goal drought! It was Fabiano's first goal in six games! β
"Ricardo almost single-handedly helped Sao Paulo win over Fluminense, and he was definitely the best player of the game!"
Fabiano was a little stunned, and his first reaction after the goal was not to celebrate, but to look at Ricardo suspiciously. The ball was a direct shot, so why didn't Ricardo choose to finish a hat-trick and pass it to me?
But the doubts were only fleeting, and what remained was the excitement after the goal, and the gratitude to Licardo. Fabiano rushed over and hugged Ricardo, "Thank you!" β
Ricardo patted him on the back: "You ran in a good position, so I passed it on to you." β
"Thank you, don't say anything superfluous, I'll have a treat later, let's go drink and relax together!" Fabiano already regretted his coldness towards Ricardo the other day, and now he just wants to make up for it as soon as possible.
"Okay, but I can only drink juice." Ricardo said with a smile.
At this time, other players also gathered around, Baptista, Ricardinho, Kaka and others all congratulated Fabiano.
Of course, don't forget to praise Ricardo for his beauty.
"Ricardo, you were developed from the lab with Ronaldo, right?" Ricardinho joked.
Kaka asked curiously, "Licardo, why haven't I ever seen you do this in training?" β
"You're better than your brother at this age. Really, I'm about to become your fan. Baptista praised heartily.
β¦β¦
In the bar. The slow-motion of the goal was being replayed on the TV screen, and Ricardo was seen comfortably and strolling past Andrea. Luiz, who made a fake shot, deceived the opposing goalkeeper Murilo, and then crossed to Fabiano, who ran to the empty space, so that Fabiano easily pushed the empty goal, and the bar was full of praise.
"The boy is awesome, and he will be a great man!"
"He's as good as his brother, and he's going to be a world-class star in the next decade or two!"
"I can't wait to see him in the national team shirt!"
"In 4 years, he will definitely be able to defend the title with Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Kaka!"
"The question is how to arrange the troops in the front court? Scolari: It's a blissful annoyance. β
Uncle Paul looked very annoyed, slapped his palm on the bar, and grinned in pain: "Why didn't he shoot himself?" This kind of ball should be very sure! β
"He's playing with style and helping your Fabiano break the goal drought," Jimmy reached for the bill that was crushed under his glass, "I'm sorry, I won." β
Uncle Paul slapped his hand away: "Get out, the game isn't over yet!" β
β¦β¦
By the time Sao Paulo had finished celebrating, Fluminense restarted the game and the game had quietly come to the 69th minute. Osvaldo looked at the clock again and called up another 18-year-old, Elton, to warm up and prepare to replace Ricardo.
Although he also hopes to give Ricardo the opportunity to complete his hat-trick, he has to take responsibility for Ricardo's body. Having a 16-year-old and 3-month-old child play the full court in a professional game is child abuse.
Ricardo also noticed this scene. But he wasn't in a hurry. For him, playing football itself is already a kind of enjoyment, a pleasure, as for breaking records or something, it is just incidental, it can be broken, and it is not forced to be broken.
Fluminense played with a feeble kick and the goal had completely crushed them. Three goals in a row with 20 minutes remaining? Don't even think about it. In this game, they are gone, and the manpower is irretrievable.
Bernars also sat back in the dugout, silent and no longer directed. Kicking it to this, there is no point in directing adjustments. However, he still did his last duty, and after sitting for a while, he asked the two young players to go up to warm up, on the one hand, to use the momentum of the young players to make an impact, and on the other hand, to give the young players more experience in the official game.
Watching his two young players try their best to hide their excitement and warm up, Benas couldn't help but sigh: other people's children have been playing since the age of 16, and they can still score two goals and create an assist in the game.
You're almost 20 years old, so why don't you even play well? It would be nice to have a talent like Ricardo in our squad.
Thinking of this, Bernas looked at the field again, looking for the figure of Ricardo with his eyes. At this glance, his eyes were about to bulge.
Kaka was running at high speed along the right side, a Fluminense player was running after him and running out of breath, while Ricardo was quietly lurking into Fluminense's penalty area, and there was no one around him!
"What are you doing! Defend that kid! Bernas hurried to the sideline and yelled.
However, it was too late.
Kaka didn't go down and when he was parallel to the penalty line, he crossed. He sent a low flat ball, the ball about knee-high and flew towards the goal at high speed.
As the ball flew into flight, a figure quickly plugged in, stretched out its foot, and the ball changed direction, avoiding Murillo's outstretched arm and flying into the net.
On the back of the man is written: 30, Licardo.
