Chapter 11: Dribbling
Ronaldo is a great finisher on the pitch and there are very few people who can control the game like him. – Zinedine Zidane
Lugano looked at Ricardo thoughtfully, and he was largely responsible for the loss of the goal, because he gave him the opportunity to pass the ball with his feet.
But Ricardo's movements just now were so coherent that he didn't have time to make corresponding defensive moves.
This is Ronaldo's younger brother? Really...... He has excellent football genes.
Despite his mistakes, he is not yet frustrated because it was just an intra-squad training game and his position as a regular centre-back was unshakable.
……
Kleber ran to Ricardo in ecstasy, hugged and celebrated, and the rest of his teammates, whether they were sincere or fake, applauded him.
After letting go of Ricardo, Kleber clenched his fist hard, looked at Reinaldo defiantly, and then at Osvaldo, who could not see anything in Osvaldo's confused smile, but still had a great deal of confidence.
Rico was a little jealous. Kleber was also promoted from the youth team only a few months ago and is one of his competitors. "Ricardo! You're going to give me an assist, too! I don't care, I'm going to score! ”
Ricardo smiled and replied, "You have to run to the position." ”
"I will!" Rico cheered up and said, "By the way, how do you feel weird about playing football today?" ”
As he walked back, Ricardo said casually, "What's wrong?" ”
Rico scratched his head: "I can't tell." It feels like you're not playing aggressively enough, and you didn't break through with the ball very much today, and you didn't show your speed advantage, but it's really good, it's the way you play in Europe, right? ”
Li Cardo thought for a moment and nodded: "That's right, I've watched a lot of Serie A games recently. ”
In this era, the "mini-World Cup" halo of Serie A is fading, but it has not completely faded, Serie A is still the most high-profile football league in the world, with the most hot football stars and famous coaches, but the Premier League and La Liga are rising strongly. Especially in the Premier League, more and more stars and coaches choose to settle in the Premier League.
……
"Hold on, brothers, haven't you had enough to eat? Cheer me up! The captain of the team, the main goalkeeper Cheney, clapped his hands and shouted.
Kleber played the ball very tricky just now, and it was normal for him not to save it, not to make a mistake. He just felt that Lugano didn't guard a 16-year-old and let him pass the ball calmly, which was very undeserved. On the other side, the right wing-back failed to return in time and was also very responsible.
However, this is not the time to criticize people, as the captain, at this time he has to regulate the emotions of the players, focusing on encouragement. I believe that as long as the main team can regroup, they can quickly get the game into their own rhythm.
Most of the players of the main team just shrugged their shoulders and did not take it seriously. Of course, the main force has the domineering of the main force, losing to the substitute? That's impossible, it's just a temporary lag.
Rekick off. The main team played much more unrestrained, and even completely forgot the significance of Osvaldo's arrangement of intra-team matches, and scored offensive football. Several midfielders took turns to insert into the penalty area of the substitute team, bent on rewriting the score, and the substitute team played very passively for a while, and there was a lot of noise in front of the goal.
Ricardo was still swimming slowly in the centre circle, with no intention of returning to help the defence.
Baptista's long-range shot goes just over the crossbar; Miguel's cross was met by Reinaldo, but it was too high and was confiscated by the substitute goalkeeper; Wilson burst into the box and crossed a low ball, and Reinaldo stabbed it wide......
Osvaldo's eyes stayed on Ricardo at least half of the time, paying attention to his movement, thinking: What would you do at this time?
Ricardo was thinking about what Rico had just said. He had forgotten that he now had a young, energetic body...... No wonder something feels wrong.
In his previous life, he became less and less dribbling because he had been seriously injured, and his speed and confrontation ability had decreased, so he couldn't do it. In fact, reasonable dribbling is an important weapon to break the balance of power on the field, how can you abandon it.
In his previous life, he admired Ronaldo so much, and I am afraid that a large part of the factor was envy of his domineering speed and unbeatable chic. In this life, you can play like this!
Of course, you can't dribble too much. Excessive, unnecessary dribbling can slow down your attack, throw away fleeting opportunities, and increase your opponent's aggression and increase your chances of injury. When necessary, just do the killer idea.
Like now. The substitute smashed the ball from the back and the ball flew high into the middle circle.
Ricardo quickly retreated, chested the ball, and by this time he could already feel that Lugano was already moving closer behind him, and he would soon be close to him.
The ball fell slightly, and Ricardo flicked the ball to his left and made a move to break to the left. Lugano instinctively moved his body.
Ricardo immediately turned around and slammed the ball in the opposite direction with his right foot again, and Lugano immediately adjusted his center of gravity, but Ricardo pulled the ball back with his left foot again, and this time Lucarno couldn't react at all, unless he didn't want it with his knees anymore and could only watch Ricardo pass him.
Hasten! Hasten! It's been a long time since I've enjoyed this kind of speed! No, never enjoyed it! When I was at the peak of my previous life, my speed was not so fast! Ricardo felt that if he opened his hands, he could fly instantly! He even wanted to close his eyes and feel the feeling of a gale coming in his face!
Let's chase! Let's chase! You won't be able to catch up! Ricardo strides the ball. At this time, he has not been able to combine the human ball in high speed very well, but there is an open field in front of him, as long as he accelerates.
Lugano was in hot pursuit, but was never able to close the distance. Gustavo. Neri slashed through the stab and slammed into Ricardo. Ricardo scrambled to poke the ball on his toes, staggered a little, and did not lose his balance, but accelerated again from Gustavo. Wipe it around inside.
Having burst into the small penalty area, Rogerio. Cherry swooped out and distracted Ricardo with his desperate momentum.
Ricardo lifted his right leg and pulled it out hard. Cherry made a quick judgment and pounced to the left.
However, Ricardo's feet suddenly slowed down and he kicked slowly in the lower part of the ball. The ball flew high into the air, making a graceful curve and landing on the empty goal behind him.
Cherry fell to the ground and looked back in horror just in time to see the ball cross the goal line and sink headlong into the net.
The ball is in!
There was no applause, because everyone was dumbfounded! Ricardo stood in place, arms raised, eyes closed, tears almost bursting from his eyes.
It's so cool! That's why I'm playing, just for moments like this!
It's good to be born again!
