Chapter 155: It's Ricardo Again, It's Always Ricardo
Ricardo and Ricardinho stood in front of the ball and started running at the same time.
The Santos players stared nervously at them, who will take the penalty in this game?
Ricardo's run was short, and he made a shot at goal, but his feet skimmed over the ball at the last minute and he jumped lightly over it.
There was a commotion in the wall, then it stabilized, ready to deal with Ricardinho's free throw.
At this time, no one paid attention, and after jumping off the football, Ricardo suddenly accelerated and ran.
Ricardinho arrived in front of the ball and swung his leg in an exaggerated manner, as if he was going to shoot hard. But when his foot was about to touch the football, he suddenly slowed down, and the instep volley turned into a gentle push of the arch.
He pushed the ball to Ricardo!
Ricardo had already run to the side of the human wall, and when he saw the football rolling towards him, he adjusted his posture slightly, did not stop the ball, and shot directly with his feet!
The ball flew to the bottom left corner of the goal like a cannonball.
Fabio. Costa was perhaps the first of them all, as he made the right judgment the moment Ricardo stepped in and pounced sideways.
But the soccer ball flies far faster than he could have imagined!
Before he could finish his downfall, the ball had already slipped under his arm into the net.
Morumbi Stadium erupted! It was like a sonic bomb exploding in the stands, with a loud bang, and it was the sound of thousands of fans shouting in one place!
"It's a tactical free-kick! Ricardo shoots, Goallllllllllll!" Oliveira, the narrator, dragged out his voice like a tenor, as if he could see the tonsils in his throat trembling at high frequencies, "At the critical moment, it's Ricardo, it's Licardo again!" Always Ricardo! He stepped up and settled the battle! There was no time left, the Santos showed bravery, the Santos fought tenaciously and the Santos lost. ”
Torreo also said with emotion: "No one can deny that it was a close contest, both sides showed a very high level of skill and high fighting spirit, and a draw was a more reasonable result." But Ricardo's last-minute outburst completely ruined the Santos' efforts throughout the game. ”
The Santos players watched as Ricardo raced to celebrate, watching the São Paulo players jump on Ricardo one by one, and no one protested that São Paulo's protest was too long. Because the game time is running out, it is likely that the referee will blow the whistle to end the game just after they kick off.
Abel. Braga closed his eyes in pain. He's been preparing for this game for a long time and he knows how serious his players are in training.
However, all these efforts are not as good as a flash of inspiration from a star.
Robinho simply sat down on the lawn and buried his head in his arms.
He sees Ricardo, who is not yet 17 years old, as his biggest contender for the next decade, competing for a place to play next to Ronaldo. In the first few meetings, he has lost.
And in this game, although he also scored, he lost the game. Or a loser.
"When will I actually win you once?" Robinho muttered.
By the time São Paulo had finished celebrating, Santos had restarted the game, and as soon as the ball was kicked out of the centre circle, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match.
"In the first round of the 2003 Brazilian Primera Division, São Paulo won the San-Sao derby with a hard-fought 3-2 away win over Santos. In the future, we may be able to see that this match will have a crucial impact on the championship situation throughout the season. ”
"Absolutely talented competition! Kaka and Ricardo had the last laugh. ”
"São Paulo got off to a good start and Santos fought until the last minute!"
Only Adrien. Jesús made a distinction to the cardinal, calling the match "Sao Paulo stealing a victory" and questioning Simplicio's goal for offside.
As for apologizing and admitting mistakes? Sorry he doesn't have those words in his dictionary.
He selectively ignored his promises.
Of course, no one bothered with mad dogs.
This game in São Paulo has not come without a price. Leonardo's red card is okay, but the key is that Kaka suffered a thigh muscle strain in stoppage time and needed to rest for two weeks. This is undoubtedly bad news for São Paulo, who is fighting on two fronts.
But the Richardians got good news. After returning home after the match, he received a call from Pereira.
"Congratulations, kid, you deserved a great win today."
"Thank you, sir." Ricardo replied politely, guessing Pereira's intentions for calling. Could it be ...... The thought that Brazil would regroup again in a few days made Ricardo's heart beat wildly.
Sure enough, Pereira went on to say, "You're fine, right?" ”
"Of course not, I'm healthy, sir!"
"Well, I'm here to inform you that I have decided to call you up for this national team. What are your thoughts? ”
"I'm glad and thank you, sir!" Ricardo suppressed his joy and said calmly. Being able to be selected for the national team for the second time in a row shows that he is not a "day trip" tourist, but really has a place in the national team.
Of course, distance has become the permanent reserve of the national team, and even playing the main team, as well as the distance from Earth to Mars.
"Okay, come and report on the 28th." Pereira hung up.
For the rest, there are naturally other staff members to contact Ricardo, and there is no need for him as the head coach to worry about it in detail.
However, before going to report, Ricardo still has a Copa Libertadores and a Brazilian league game to play.
In addition, he also participated in a charity gala organized by local Chinese in Brazil, the main purpose of which was to donate money to China's fight against Africa. Ricardo didn't say a word and donated 500,000 reais.
On April 23, Sao Paulo travelled to Montevideo to take on Uruguayan powerhouse Nacional away.
The Nationals also had a long history, having won the Copa Libertadores three times before the 90s last season and finished runners-up in the competition three times. Although it is not as good as their compatriot Penarol, they can beat many South American giants in seconds.
However, the current strength of the national team can only be described as average, and their team is worth noting the 36-year-old strikers Valdés brothers, as well as wingers Peralta and Ruben. Sosa.
Sao Paulo does not mean to take the national team lightly, after all, there are several Uruguayan internationals in this team, which should not be underestimated.
But they used too much energy and passion in the derby against Santos, and Kaka was suspended due to injury, so he played a bit passively on the pitch.
In just 20 minutes, they were led 2-0 by the Nationals.
At this time, São Paulo seemed to wake up from a dream, and launched a counterattack under the leadership of Fabiano and Ricardo.
