In the other match in Group C, Paraguay beat Costa Rica 1-0 through a penalty. Judging by the scene, Paraguay's victory was not convincing.

It is widely believed in the media that Brazil will secure a place in the promotion, while the next round of matches between Paraguay and Chile will determine who the other team will qualify.

Of course, it is also possible that both teams will qualify, as the Copa America is divided into only three groups, and in addition to the top two teams in the group, the two third-placed teams with better results will also advance to the quarter-finals.

As for Costa Rica...... Everyone knows that they are here to make soy sauce.

After the first match of the Brazilian team, Ricardo was still busy. In addition to training, he has a lot of other things to do on a daily basis.

Last year, he put out nearly a quarter of his money and asked his investment adviser, Joao Brown. Carlos helped him register an investment company and tried to persuade Ronaldo to take a stake.

Ronaldo didn't want to follow him to "fool around", but he couldn't stand Ricardo's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally invested $1 million.

The company was named "R&L. Lima Investment Co., Ltd.", abbreviated as R&L. In addition to Ronaldo, Li Cardo also left a little stake in Farah, Yang Fan, etc., and asked the headhunting company to find a group of excellent management talents.

The day-to-day affairs of the company are handled by the CEO, but the direction of investment is determined by Ricardo himself.

The company's total registered capital is 5 million US dollars, which is not large, and compared with those giant investment companies such as Sequoia, it is like the gap between a small shrimp and a whale.

But Ricardo also did not plan to invest in mature companies, he set up this company mainly for angel investment, and did not need much capital for the time being. In the future, he will invest most of the salary and bonuses he earns from playing football into this company.

Recently, he has completed several investment projects, the most important of which is the angel round of Facebook. Invest $500,000 and get 8% of the original shares of Facebook.

As long as Zuckerberg follows up with each fundraising in the future, these shares will be worth tens of billions of dollars in the future.

But he won't hold these shares in his hands for so long, and will choose a suitable time to release them.

After all, his goal is not to become the richest man in the world, he is only making money to fulfill his dreams.

After dealing with some of the company's affairs, Ricardo looked at the stock market again, and Apple's stock was still going crazy. Three-quarters of Ricardo's assets, nearly $12 million, have bought shares in Apple, and he knows how the stock will perform wildly in the coming years.

Although only from the perspective of investment profits, it is better to go to China to speculate in real estate, after all, China's housing prices have increased more than ten times since 2004.

But Ricardo did not want to make a fortune by earning the hard-earned money of the Chinese, and frankly, his capital of more than 10 million dollars was really not enough to speculate on houses. So he simply bought Apple stock, intending to make money lying down. You don't have to worry about anything, it's enough to sell it in two years and count the money.

Before going to bed, Licardo habitually called Stella, didn't say anything, greeted him, talked a few words, and then said good night to each other and hung up the phone.

Stella is currently on the catwalk in Milan and plans to focus on Europe in the coming years so that she can be closer to Ricardo.

Although Ricardo didn't think it made much sense.

A few days ago, when the two were arguing on the phone, Stella blurted out: "I really don't know how long I can put up with you." I love you, Ricardo, but I'm not sure if I can go down with you. ”

After getting along for half a year, even stone people will have feelings. Ricardo does not deny that his treatment of Stella is fundamentally different from other women.

But he wasn't going to make any changes. He's like that, and he won't change for any woman. If you can't adapt to him, then letting go and leaving is the best choice.

……

On the training ground of the Brazilian team, there was a lot of laughter and laughter, and the players seemed very relaxed. They will face Costa Rica, the weakest team in the group stage, and a win would secure Brazil in the quarter-finals.

While Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Kaka, Emerson, Ze. Roberto, Robert. Big names such as Carlos, Cafu and Lucio were not selected for this Brazil team, but the proud players don't think Costa Rica can cause problems for themselves.

You must know that in the group stage of the World Cup in Japan and South Korea two years ago, the Brazilian team defeated the opponent 5:2.

Pereira experimented with several line-ups in the intra-squad confrontation, but in the end on the evening of July 11, Pereira fielded a line-up that was only slightly different from the first game, when Kleberson, who returned from injury, replaced Dudou. Up front, it's still Adriano and Ricardo, the young talent duo.

After the opening, the Brazilian team did not rush to attack, but firmly controlled the ball, slowly falling back and forth. Costa Rica, on the other hand, used a full-court pressing tactic that prevented Brazil from converting possession advantage into a threatening attack, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while.

After more than 20 minutes, Brazil did not even have a threatening shot on goal, but Costa Rica created several chances through a successful tackle in front of the field, but the Brazilian defender and goalkeeper Cesar were in excellent form and did not allow the opponent to score easily.

The Brazilian side have taken a parallel midfield position, with Alex at the heart of the playmaker, but he is unfamiliar with his position and is more comfortable with the role of midfield.

In the last game, he was mediocre and after this game, he finally found a little bit of form. After 20 minutes of play, the Brazilian team gradually improved their offensive momentum and speed under his organization.

And the two full-backs Mancini and Gustavo. Neri also began to assist frequently to put pressure on the Costa Rican defence.

In the 40th minute, Roberto Mancini's assist created a corner, Alex drove a corner to the back post, and Ricardo stopped the ball and turned and fired a shot from a tight angle into the side-netting.

Soon, Brazil attacked again, Alex hoisted a long ball into the box, Adriano used his strong body to crush Costa Rican defender Marin, and shook off the attacking goalkeeper Ricardo. Gonzalez, smashes the ball into the empty net.

Brazil takes the lead!

The voice of the Brazilian TV commentator was strange: "Adriano goaalll! He opened the door to victory for Brazil! It was a typical Adriano-esque goal that made the most of his physical strengths. Frankly, Adriano's characteristics really don't look like a Brazilian player, but maybe the Brazilian team needs a strong fulcrum in the front court like him to enrich the tactical play. ”

"While Ricardo didn't seem to be involved in the goal, that doesn't mean he didn't contribute. Watching the slow-motion replay, everyone pays attention to Ricardo's positioning. When Alex was making adjustments and hadn't passed the ball, Adriano had two people around him, Marin and Sequilla, but at this time Ricardo suddenly entered the penalty area, and his speed was quite fast, straight into the heart of Costa Rica, Sequeira had to go over to make up for it, and then Alex passed the ball and handed the ball to Adriano. If it weren't for Ricardo's movement, it remains to be seen whether Adriano would have scored this goal. ”
