Sao Paulo's away match against Bahia was not televised live and Ricardo only found out after the game.

Sao Paulo drew 0-0 in heavy rain and battled in the mud, with the only threatening shot of the game coming in the 77th minute of the second half, when Kaka's long-range shot hit the crossbar.

Rico finally came on for the first team and came on in the 84th minute with nothing to be said for his performances. Ricardo sincerely hopes that this appearance will boost Rico's confidence and allow his friend to continue to improve.

Youngster Tardelli did not get a chance to play, and when the team returned to Brafonta, he was relegated to the youth team again.

Osvaldo is said to have kept his face black all day and in this game, where three points must be taken, Sao Paulo played in a very chaotic and undisciplined manner. In fact, there is no way to do it, Sao Paulo is good at delicate attacks, but he can't be delicate on muddy and slippery courts.

At the post-match press conference, questions from reporters also added fuel to the fire.

"Why not use Ricardo?"

"Is it true that Ricardo went to a nightclub before the game? Did you deprecate him in this game for that reason? ”

"Did Ricardo's absence affect the team's performance?"

"Without Ricardo, Sao Paulo's frontcourt organisation looks chaotic, will you continue to use Ricardo in the next game?"

Osvaldo couldn't help but say: "Please focus on the players who played today, don't focus on a player who didn't play. In addition, São Paulo is not a team of Ricardo alone, with him or without him, São Paulo should stick to its good traditions. ”

'When Ricardo played, Sao Paulo also lost and drawn, so it's not like the team can't function without him. He was an ordinary member of São Paulo. The main reason for not winning this game is that we have a tactical problem, the whole team is responsible, and the biggest responsibility is on me. ”

'The squad for the next game has not yet been decided, I will watch in training and make a decision. Whether Ricardo can play depends on his form. ”

Originally, the team would have had a day off the next day after playing away, but this time Osvaldo was obviously angry and did not let the team rest.

Everyone was silent in the training, and there was no usual laughter. Ricardo was still training alone, and Osvaldo was clearly still angry, with a cold face towards everyone, as if everyone owed him a few hundred reais.

Ricardo didn't try to please Osvaldo, but focused on his training.

In the matter of being suspended, he felt a little aggrieved. While he didn't need Osvaldo to apologize, he didn't want to put a hot face on his cold ass either.

After the afternoon training, Ricardo practiced for a while, leaving a little earlier than usual. He agreed to go to Yang Jingyu's little Lori's house for dinner.

Soon after returning to Uncle Paul's house, Yang Rui called and said that he had arrived. When Ricardo went out, there was a Lexus parked in front of the door, and Japanese cars are still quite popular in Brazil.

Sitting in the car, Yang Rui said hello with a smile on his face, and said: "It's a pity for yesterday's game, if you play, you are likely to get 3 points." ”

Ricardo smiled: "I'm not a savior either, don't expect too much from me." ”

"You have this strength," Yang Rui affirmed, "and you are one of the top players in Brazil right now." ”

Ricardo smiled and didn't speak. He is very self-aware of his own strength, and neither the praise nor belittlement of others can change his mind.

Yang Rui's home is on the outskirts of São Paulo, and it is an idyllic-looking villa with a small garden full of flowers.

Yang Rui led Li Cardo into the room, and a tall and thin middle-aged man greeted him, he looked a little similar to Yang Rui, with sharp eyes and short hair.

"Hello, Licardo, I'm Yang Fan, Yang Rui's brother." He smiled and held out his hand to Licardo.

Li Cardo shook hands with him, and soon heard Yang Jingyu's cheerful voice in Lori: "Li Cardo, you're here!" ”

Ricardo looked up and saw that little Lori was running down the revolving escalator, wearing a casual T-shirt and hot pants, her breasts were slightly raised, the skin on her face was as smooth as porcelain, and her eyes were smiling into crescent moons.

"Hello, Olivia." Ricardo raised his hand to greet her.

In front of Li Cardo, Yang Jingyu had an angry expression again: "Those tabloids are really bad, arrange others casually." Licardo, you're not that kind of person! ”

Li Cardo touched his nose and said to himself that I was really the kind of person who would go to the nightclub to pick up the girl, and the reason why I didn't pick the girl back that night was just because it was about to compete and I didn't want to be distracted. "Thank you for believing in me, but I do not do well," Ricardo changed the subject, "how are you, have you studied hard?" ”

"Of course, my grades are the best in my class." Yang Jingyu said proudly.

"Let's sit down first, the dishes will be ready for a while," Yang Rui said with a smile, "Li Cardo, you talk to my brother first, I'll go to the kitchen to help and get some Chinese food." ”

"Don't bother, I'm embarrassed that you're so enthusiastic."

"It's not troublesome, the humble house is shabby, and I can't greet you as a big star, I don't even want to go." Yang Rui smiled and went into the kitchen.

Li Cardo and Yang Fan sat down on the sofa in the living room, Yang Jingyu moved a chair and sat next to them, looking at Li Cardo with his hands on his cheeks like a idiot, making Li Cardo feel uncomfortable. He had no choice but to look around to see the decoration in the villa.

Maybe it's the locals, at least as far as the eye can see, there are no Chinese elements in the house, and it's completely localized. The furnishings are unique and comfortable.

After sitting for a while, in order to resolve the embarrassment, he took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Yang Fan, I heard that you have developed well in China. ”

"Hehe, I'm also a hammer in the east and a stick in the west," Yang Fan said with a smile, "but I do know a lot of people in the football circle, and I am familiar with advertising, and I have also run the media sector." Licardo, if you want to develop your own market in China, I dare say, I can definitely help. ”

"Can you tell me what you can do for me?" Ricardo was a little curious.

"I know you have an agent, but Mr. Farah doesn't know much about the Chinese market. Your publicity and promotion in China, business operations, contacting sponsors, endorsement advertising, etc., all need a person who is proficient in domestic affairs to deal with," Yang Fan's eyes were blazing, "and I think I am one of the best candidates." ”
