What's the greatest player I've ever seen in my career? Ronaldo is the best. - Totti

Licardo's performance in the midfield position was very satisfying for Osvaldo.

In fact, players who can usually play as a hidden striker can usually adapt well to the position of the forward midfielder, and there is an overlap in the tactical responsibilities of the two, and they also have to bear the tasks of attacking organization, planning, and completing the lethal pass.

The difference is that the hidden striker has to take on more offensive functions and is positioned higher up the front, while the forward midfielder has a heavier playmaking task.

Ricardo had played in a midfield position in his previous life, so he had no difficulty adapting.

More than just a midfielder, he has tried positions and tactical roles such as a traditional no.9, a false no.9, a hidden striker, a wide playmaker, a traditional winger and a inside striker.

The traditional No. 9 is the traditional center, and Ricardo performed poorly in this role in his previous life, mainly due to his slow speed, lack of height, and poor physical confrontation ability.

A false number 9 is a tactical role that appears in the center of the position, but is mainly responsible for the function of coordination. It is usually used in conjunction with the inside forward, and the false No. 9 takes the ball in the front court, pulls, and responds, giving the inside forward the opportunity to cut inside and shoot.

For example, the BBC combination in the previous Real Madrid era, the MSN combination of Barcelona, Benzema and Suarez all played the role of false No. 9 in the game.

Also known as a number 9 and a half, the hidden striker is a tactical role between the number 10 (the core of the organization) and the number nine, usually positioned further forward than the midfielder, behind the center forward.

A wide playmaker is a tactical role that mainly plays on the wings, but is responsible for organising the attack, as Figo did during the Inter Milan period.

The inside forward refers to the inward cutting winger, usually played by the reverse football player, such as the right foot will play the left inside, the left foot will play the right inside, Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo, Robben, etc. have all played this tactical role.

The position of inside striker was not what Ricardo was good at in his previous life, because he was too slow. But in this life, with such great physical fitness, it would be a pity not to try an inside striker.

However, in this day and age, the inside tactics have not yet prevailed, and if he wants to try this tactical role, he will have to wait for the right time.

Looking at Ricardo's outstanding performance in the midfield position, Osvaldo felt as if a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, but when he tried to grasp the inspiration, it was fleeting.

Osvaldo patted his head in frustration, leaving it behind.

……

After the afternoon training, Rico and Ricardo stayed to continue their equipment training. The two were sweating profusely when Osvaldo came over and said kindly, "Ricardo, I want to talk to you, are you free?" ”

"Wait until I'm done with this set." Ricardo didn't mean to give Osvaldo any face. Fortunately, Osvaldo also got to know him to a certain extent and didn't think he was angry.

After doing this set of actions, Licardo stood up and wiped his sweat: "BOSS, what do you want to say to me?" ”

Osvaldo motioned for him to step aside and speak.

After settling down, Osvaldo said: "The club may offer you a new contract in the near future, a real professional contract. What are your thoughts? ”

Ricardo smiled, which was what he expected: "This, just talk to my agent." ”

"Who's your agent?"

"Fabiano. Farad. ”

Sure enough, it was him. Osvaldo said expressionlessly: "Then please inform him, just come to the club and talk to Mr. Leko about renewing his contract." ”

"I will." Despite this, Ricardo did not want to enter into contract negotiations right away. It's best to play a few more games on your own and be convincing enough to try to get a good contract.

In this era, it is simply full of gold, but he needs enough start-up capital, and a good contract is necessary.

Make more money now, so that you can not play football for money in the future, and you don't have to wronged yourself because of money.

After Osvaldo left, Ricardo returned to the apparatus and continued practicing.

"What did the boss say to you?" Rico asked through gritted teeth.

"Focus on training, don't talk."

When the two of them rested, Ricardo told Rico about his conversation with Osvaldo.

Rico looked envious: "You deserve it, Licardo." Remember, negotiate a big contract for yourself, now the whole of Brazil knows that you are a talent, and if Sao Paulo doesn't give you a contract worthy of your talent, you can go to another team. ”

Li Cardo smiled: "I don't worry about this, let the agent worry about it." I just have to focus on playing well. ”

Rico showed a look of lust: "When you sign a new contract and get the signing fee, you want to invite me to a nightclub to play once." I'm going to soak a blonde big wave girl! ”

"Needless to say, for sure." Ricardo patted his chest and packed the ticket.

"I suddenly feel full of energy, come again, let's continue training!"

……

In the next round, Sao Paulo's opponent is Juventud of Rio Grande do Sul, and Sao Paulo is at home to rest and relax.

The opponent is not very strong, and in Osvaldo's plan, this match is a must.

The good news is that Ricardinho and Fabiano are both recovering well and are not yet ready to play the full 90 minutes, but can play in this game if appropriate.

At the pre-match press conference, when asked if Ricardinho and Fabiano would play, Osvaldo put off a smoke bomb: "Of course not, they haven't fully recovered yet, I wouldn't risk them getting worse and let them play. ”

Instead of dwelling on this question, the reporters instead asked the question that everyone was concerned about: "Will the youngster Licardo, who performed well in the last game, be in the starting lineup?" ”

'He's still too young and there's still a lot to learn,' Osvaldo said as he weighed his words, not wanting to discourage Ricardo, "I don't think he's ready to start, but I'll keep evaluating him and I'll put him on when the time is right." ”

When Ricardo saw the news of the press conference in the newspaper Folha de São Paulo, he just laughed.

He really doesn't need to rush to appear as a regular now.

With his current physical condition, it is simply unrealistic to play the full 90 minutes per game, and it will also cause too much burden on his body.

As long as Osvaldo can give him enough playing time, and at the same time he can maintain his good competitive form and take every opportunity to play, it will be enough.

In another six months, when his training has begun to bear fruit, his physical strength has increased, and his physical reserves are more sufficient, it will be his time to compete for the main position.

For now, settle for being a rotation player for the time being.
