Chapter 357: The group qualifies
Ronaldo's injury has captured the eyes of the world.
The entrance of the hospital was jammed with reporters, making it impossible for some patients to enter and exit easily.
Everyone wanted to get first-hand information, and for a while, the search rankings for Ronaldo's injury even exceeded the popularity of the World Cup itself.
On YouTube, the video of Ronaldo's injury moment was also clicked repeatedly, and everyone tried to confirm Ronaldo's injury in this way.
In this situation, the next day, the Brazilian national team held a press conference, and Pereira opened up about Ronaldo's injury in front of the media.
year.
After hearing this time, all the media briefly lost their voices.
Anyone who is involved in sports understands the impact of such an injury. Even if the injury is healed, there will be a permanent decline in athletic ability, and there is a possibility of recurrence at any time.
And the point is that Ronaldo is already 30 years old, 31 in a year, and his physical fitness has declined in all aspects, and it will be time to consider retirement in two years. Affected by such an injury, it is estimated that he will never be able to return to the top.
Ronaldo will never be that Ronaldo again.
The world of football is silent, and everyone knows in their hearts that they will never see the otherworldly performances of aliens again.
Ronaldo's injury is a huge blow to Real Madrid, and it also casts a shadow on Brazil's prospects of winning the World Cup this year, and major bookmakers have adjusted their odds.
A media outlet commented: "The Brazilian team with Ronaldo is unbeatable. Brazil without Ronaldo is one of the best teams in the world. The meaning of the two is completely different. ”
And the result of the punishment against Ricardo was also quickly announced, and Ricardo will be banned for two games and will not return until the final of the sixteenth. Of course, no one thinks Brazil will fail to make it out of the group, so Ricardo still has a chance to play. It's just that after he returns, whether Pereira will dare to use him is a question.
Real Madrid sent a commissioner to Germany to accompany Ronaldo to France for medical treatment. Ricardo finally didn't have to run to the hospital every day.
Now he returns to the hotel every day after training with the team, and although Stella came to Germany with his wife, he has not seen him once.
Those who knew him well sensed that he had become silent.
Everyone was also interested in not bothering him.
On June 18, Brazil took on Australia. Australia lined up 541 formations in an attempt to hold a draw.
But even with Ronaldo and Ricardo sidelined, Brazil still have incredibly strong firepower and are not at all afraid of the opposition's dense defense.
However, Ronaldo's injury still affected the mentality of the players a little, and it was obvious on the field that the players did not dare to make moves and were more cautious to protect themselves.
After a long stalemate, Adriano, who started the game, finally broke his goal drought and helped Brazil to the only goal.
Although Brazil had a lot of chances, they only took it once.
After the 1-0 win over Australia, Brazil has already qualified early.
On the evening of the 22nd, Ricardo finally went to meet Stella, and on this night, he spent his 20th birthday peacefully.
He had a stomach full of things to say, but in the end he didn't say anything, just a fake calm smile and coped with the night.
On June 23, at the Stade de West**, Brazil sent half of their substitutes to play against Japan.
Japan, who had been clamoring to break into the last eight, only have one point, and they need to beat Brazil to qualify. But a win over Brazil? Easier said than done. Even the Chinese team, which has only lost 3 games in the 18th World Cup, did not dare to say so, only dared to say that it would draw with Brazil.
In the 33rd minute, striker Keiji Tamada successfully countered offside and shot from a small angle to open the scoring for the Japanese team.
The Japanese fans at the scene shouted and jumped, as if they had seen the Japanese team qualify in advance.
But they rejoiced too soon.
Ten minutes later, Adriano received a pass from Juninho Jr., and his header broke through the door guarded by Noh Kawaguchi, and the score became 1:1.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Juninho Jr. struck a cold arrow from the edge of the box to put Brazil ahead of the score.
In the 59th minute, Ronaldinho made an imaginative pass to assist Gilberto's goal.
Brazil defeated Japan 3-1 and won all three games to advance to the round of 16.
After the team qualified, the overall atmosphere was very good, and it also diluted the hesitation when Ronaldo was lost.
Or maybe it's because everyone knows that Ricardo is about to lift the ban.
Whether in terms of goal efficiency or the role he plays on the team, Ricardo has surpassed Adriano in all aspects.
With him present, the team's attacking power is definitely not a problem.
However, before the game against Ghana, Pereira still had a good talk with Ricardo.
No one knew what they had communicated, but the next day, Ricardo returned to the main lineup in training.
In training, Ricardo was as serious as ever, not as serious as a Brazilian. And he's working harder, fighting for every ball.
No one knows if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
Some people feel that if Ricardo gets serious, he will be as unstoppable as Ronaldo; There are also concerns that Ricardo's strings are too tight and that he will be nervous and unbalanced.
On the afternoon of the 27th, the Brazilian team will face Ghana at the West** Stadium.
In the pre-match press conference, Pereira confidently announced the starting line-up, with all the main players, including Ricardo, playing.
A reporter questioned Ricardo's appearance, and Pereira responded: "When you have a player like Ricardo who can score 38 goals and 16 assists in 49 games in a season in Italy, you don't need him. ”
"Let's not forget that Ricardo has just turned 20 and he's still young, so he makes mistakes. I totally understand. I'm sure he'll learn his lesson and become more mature. Ronaldo's injury is a major blow to him and he has a pretty good relationship with Ronaldo. We can only pray that he will come out of his pain as soon as possible and turn his grief into strength. ”
There are also reporters who want to interview Ricardo.
Since Ronaldo's injury, Ricardo has been hiding from the media, which is almost unimaginable for a star of his level.
Fans all over the world are eager to see news about him.
How many world-class stars are there in the world? You can count it with your fingers and toes. He's already one of the biggest stars in the world. AND HE HAS A HANDSOME APPEARANCE, WHICH HAS LED TO HIS NUMBER OF FANS EXCEEDING THE AVERAGE WORLD-CLASS, AND THE NUMBER OF FANS ON HIS FACEBOOK HAS EVEN SURPASSED STARS OF THE LEVEL OF HENRY AND SHEVCHENKO.
Everyone wants to know, what happened to Ricardo?
