Chapter 140: When I saw him, I remembered Ronaldo
When one of the Brazilian team's attacks was destroyed by the opponent, Li Ming kicked the ball out of the sideline, and the fourth official on the sideline raised the electronic card: No. 22 up, No. 7 down.
Ronaldinho trotted to the sidelines, hugged Ricardo and whispered in his ear: "Don't be nervous! ”
"Thank you!" Ricardo responded with a smile.
Nervous? Not. But there is definitely excitement.
Unfortunately, Ronaldo is no longer on the pitch, and the brothers' first joint performance must be postponed.
Ricardo rushed onto the pitch, and the soft turf was very comfortable to step on. The Olympic Stadium was only built in '01, the facilities are relatively new, and the turf quality is very good.
Maybe it's my first international goal here, right? The thought popped into Licardo's mind.
He ran to Denilson's side and conveyed Pereira's latest instructions.
In this way, in Brazil's 442 formation, there is an unbalanced position in front of the double midfielders, with Denilson on the left and Ricardo in the middle, obviously attacking from the left and leaving the right empty.
"The Brazilian team made another substitution adjustment, and the young player No. 22 Ricardo replaced No. 7 Ronaldinho," commentator Huang Jiaxiang's charming voice sounded in the CCTV live broadcast room that was broadcasting the game, "His appearance broke a record that the Brazilian team had sealed for half a century, and the record of the youngest national team appearance held by the football king Pele." ”
"On 9 July 1957, in a friendly against Argentina, Pele came off the bench and scored a goal, setting a record for the youngest appearance and youngest goal at the age of 16 years and 257 days."
And today, at the age of 16 years and 235 days, Ricardo made his debut for the Brazilian national team! History will remember this moment! This record will be difficult to beat! ”
"Audience friends, you are now watching the live broadcast of the 2003 China-Brazil Invitational Tournament, and now the game has reached the 66th minute, and the score between the two sides is still 0:0. Youngster Ricardo is in action for the first time for the Brazilian national team. ”
"Ricardo plays for Brazilian giants São Paulo, scoring 22 goals in 24 appearances last season, leading them to a third-place finish in the Brazilian National Championship. The player's mother is a Chinese immigrant who is half Chinese, and this is the first time that a player of Chinese descent has appeared in the Brazilian national team. ”
"Brazil attacked, Emerson took the ball, Licardo stepped forward to answer, he didn't stop the ball and swept the ball directly to Denilson with his back heel! Good ball sense and vision, this is his first touch of the game! ”
After playing for a few minutes, Ricardo gradually let go of his hands and began to boldly take the ball. He and these teammates lack tacit understanding, and it is always a bit wrong to pass the ball when he tries to kick the ball, so he simply takes the ball slowly and observes the movement of his teammates before making a move.
This may miss some fleeting moments, but it's also safer.
Now the 3R is not on the field, and he is Pereira's designated midfielder, the core of the transition between attack and defence, so he can get more possession.
And with his skills, it is not easy for the Chinese team to break the ball from his feet, and he even feels that it is easier than playing in the Brazilian National Championship.
Due to the activity of Adriano, Denilson and Ricardo, the Brazilian team's attack played faster and more resolutely, and the Chinese team's goal continued to encounter danger.
However, the goalkeeper of the Chinese team, Liu Yunfei, played quite well today, resisted high, and kept the goal from losing.
For the fans at the scene, of course, it is impossible to expect the Chinese team to win, they hope to see the beautiful attack of the Brazilian team, and also hope that the Chinese team can play bloody, play backbone, and finally play a draw or a small loss, so that they can see the progress of the Chinese team, so that they are satisfied.
When the Brazilian players showed their superb skills and footwork, they did not hesitate to give warm applause; When the Chinese team defended as one, defused the Brazilian team's attack, and even had the occasional opportunity to counterattack, they also let out a cry of excitement.
This adorable group of fans......
Ricardo is actively looking for opportunities, this is his debut, and he doesn't want to mess up. As for Pele's record for the youngest goal, of course it's good to be able to break it, but it doesn't matter if it can't be broken, the record is just like that, and it's not worth paying too much attention to.
His chance came in the 77th minute. After a series of combinations in the middle, Brazil handed the ball to the left wing, and the cyclist Denilson shook continuously to break through Wei Xin's defence.
But Wei Xin was very tenacious and kept pestering Denilson, not completely getting rid of it.
Denilson was going to cut inside but had to pass the ball to Ricardo, who was pulled out of the box.
Ricardo flicked the ball towards his right foot and made a cross, but his right foot kicked it out and it was back and through near the baseline.
"Ricardo catches the ball, Cruyff turns! Past Zheng Zhi, the Chinese team is in danger! Huang Jiaxiang exclaimed, "He glanced at the penalty area, and it seemed that he was going to pass the ball!" There was no choice to pass, he continued to dribble the ball close to the baseline! Nice getaway, this time past two players, there is an angle to shoot, he didn't shoot but chose to pass, Adriano took the ball with his back in the middle, turned and shot! The ball went in, the power of the ball was very large, Liu Yunfei pounced in the right direction, but there was nothing he could do. ”
Huang Jiaxiang's voice became excited: "You can't blame the defenders of the Chinese team for this ball, they have done their best." This is five-star Brazil, where every player has great skills and is ready to break the deadlock with the individual qualities of the stars. Ricardo's streak of escapes is so spectacular that it's hard to imagine that this is a 16-year-old. ”
"What are the 16-year-olds in China still doing? Most of them are still in the third echelon of the club, let alone playing for the national team, even if they want to get the opportunity to play in the club's first team. It's time for the youth training of Chinese football to rethink. Look at the results of other people's youth training, and then look at ours, this is the gap. ”
Rather than looking excited, it was Adriano who went on a rampage, and scoring on his debut for the national team would be of immeasurable benefit to his future international career, at least Pereira must have remembered his name fondly. Despite Brazil's abundance of talent up front, he has been able to use his performances to earn him a chance.
In the live broadcast room, Huang Jiaxiang was still blowing the goal: "Let's take a look at the slow-motion replay, after Ricardo took the ball, he quickly turned around and made a fake pass, but he buckled the ball back and broke through from the bottom line. With two steps on the baseline, Zheng Zhi and Xiao Zhanbo stepped forward to scramble together, and Licardo continued to pluck the ball with his left and right feet, breaking through the gap between the two people like a trick, and then did not choose to shoot by himself, but handed it to Adriano, who was in a better position. ”
"From this ball, you can see that Licardo has a solid technical foundation, and a good mental quality, and is very experienced in handling the ball. Although many peers have said it, I still have to say that when I see him, it reminds me of Ronaldo. ”
