Ronaldo can prove once again that no one can reach the same heights in today's world football. - Bailey

Estadio Morumbi, home of São Paulo. The match between Sao Paulo and Juventud is underway.

Sao Paulo continued to play with a back three, with Ricardinho, Fabiano and Ricardo, who had been excellent in the last game, all on the bench, while Kaka was not included in the squad.

The narrator's explanation appeared weak: "...... The battle between the two sides in midfield was very intense, but so far neither had too many good chances. Sao Paulo had six shots, four from distance and only two were on target. Juventud had four shots, two of which were from distance, and all four were off target. ”

"The game was already in the 55th minute and the score was still 0-0. Now Sao Paulo Baptista has the ball...... It was cut off again. Juventud's counterattack! This counterattack is too slow, it's time to pass it! Still dribbling the ball, Lugano cut it off. Sao Paulo handed the ball to Baptista and continued to organize. ”

'Baptista is not a good playmaker and if Ricardinho, Kaka and even the youngster Licardo were on the pitch at this time, Sao Paulo would have behaved differently.

"Osvaldo has no intention of making substitutions, and if it continues like this, I'm afraid this game will end in a dull draw."

The fans in the stands also looked listless. The 80,000-capacity Molumbi Stadium was attended by around 44,000 fans for the match, and it stands to reason that their voices could knock the stadium upside down. But Sao Paulo's style of play today is really hard to be passionate, constantly falling in the middle and back, and rarely seeing an eye-catching attack.

With his hands in his trouser pockets, Osvaldo sat quietly in the dugout with a relaxed expression. Now that everything was on track, he didn't feel anxious at all.

Even if it ends in a draw, it's not a big deal, the goal he set for this game is to keep the draw and win, and the draw is acceptable.

On the bench, Ricardo was expressionless. His eyes weren't on the football, but on the Juventud defenders' positions and movements, looking for their flaws.

You may not have a chance to play, but once you get the opportunity to play, you have to be like the sharpest sword, straight into the opponent's most vulnerable place.

At present, Juventud, who are playing away, does not have a strong desire to win, stacking heavy defenses, and the two full-backs rarely assist, leaving no obvious flaws.

In the 71st minute, Osvaldo turned his head and said, "Ricardinho, you go warm up." ”

After a pause, he could see that he was thinking very intensely in his mind, "Licardo, you should warm up too." ”

Ricardo quickly got up, took off his smock, and had a simple warm-up with Ricardo on the sidelines.

There was some little excitement in his heart. It's not that it's important, it's not that he values the opportunity to play, it's that as long as he can play, he's a little bit excited. It's like the feeling of a fish coming back into the water and a caged bird flying into the blue sky.

He was born to belong to this green field.

Time is running out for myself. What can be done in the remaining ten minutes? While warming up, Ricardo turned his head to look inside the arena and pondered.

He doesn't like draws, he doesn't like to lose, he just likes to win.

Only when I win is the real football.

Speaking of which, he didn't seem to have played much real football in his previous life......

But in this life, there must be many opportunities.

If I play with Ricardinho, who will I replace?

Will you continue to maintain a back 3? Then he should replace Reinaldo and play as a single striker.

Reinaldo was largely invisible in this game, and it was only right to replace him.

Or is Osvaldo going to make a move in the closing stages of the game? Then he will replace a midfielder and play a hidden striker or a forward midfielder.

What exactly did Osvaldo plan?

Ricardo thought about it carefully, and from what he knew about Osvaldo, this was a man with a conservative tactical mind, lacking the courage to break the boat. So, it should be ...... Make a counter-substitution, replace Reinaldo and continue to play as a single striker.

In the 76th minute, Ricardo and Ricardinho were standing on the sidelines, and the fourth referee had already raised the electronic card for substitutions.

Osvaldo was making a final admonition. "Ricardo, when you go up, you go to the front. You are allowed to take the ball, dribble, you can judge the situation for yourself, and use the dribbling to disrupt the opponent's defensive formation. ”

Sure enough, it was to replace Reinaldo with himself.

Pointing to the two centre-backs at Juventus, Osvaldo continued: "The two centre-backs are a bit inadequately protected each other and are a bit hesitant to fill in the space. You tell Baptista to pay attention to plug in, you can do more in that area, and the two of you work well together. ”

He turned around again and patted Ricardinho on the shoulder: "The attacking organization is left to you, play as before." ”

Ricardinho's previous injury was a deltoid ligament strain in his ankle, and although he has not yet healed, he should still be fine for ten minutes of play. He nodded: "Okay boss, I'll do it well." ”

Reinaldo had already arrived on the sidelines, his face full of displeasure, his lips moving slightly, and he didn't know if he was scolding. When Ricardo didn't see it, he rushed up and hugged him gently. Reinaldo's body stiffened a little, but he didn't speak, just nodded at Ricardo.

It feels good to be on the green field again. Like a hound whose collar had been loosened by his owner, Ricardo ran happily around the field.

The introduction of Ricardo and Ricardinho brought an immediate change to Sao Paulo.

Both of them are good at concise balls and good at tandem organization. At this time, one after the other, the offensive of São Paulo was immediately revitalized.

"Ricardo takes the ball, goes to the right side, and has a very wide view!"

"Ricardo! I made a two-one-one match with Baptista and went in! There was no shot, he passed the ball to the back post on the left! Ricardinho follows up with the shot! Oops, a little off, hit the side netting. It's a pity, the attack was very qualitative. ”

"The youngster Licardo is very active and has caused Juventud a couple of problems. His outstanding performance in the last game was not a flash in the pan! He's only 16 years old and we have high expectations for him! ”

"After Osvaldo made a substitution, Juventud fell into passivity. What will they do about it? ”

Soon, Juventud also made a substitution, a midfielder, replacing a striker, and it seemed that they intended to keep the score 0-0 until the end.
