Chapter 31: True to the Name

My task was to stick as close to Ronaldo as I could, and I thought I did a good job before he scored, but he scored. - Cannavaro

Ricardo's fist didn't hit Nilmar's disgusting face, and a pair of slightly slender but extremely powerful arms embraced him.

"Calm down, Ricardo," Kaka's handsome face showed anxiety, "don't be provoked by them, you'll be banned." ”

"Go to the ban on horses! I don't care, let's fight first! Ricardo struggled, but Kaka was half a head taller than him and slightly stronger than him, plus Fabiano next to him also reacted and pressed Ricardo together.

Ricardo gasped. It would be nice if Rico was here, Rico would definitely help him beat this kid hard. It's a pity that Rico was not selected for the squad.

Nirmal was startled, but when he saw that Ricardo was being held down, he became triumphant again: "It's as vulgar as your mother who is a technician." ”

Ricardo struggled to fight three more points, but was still tightly restrained.

At this time, the players of both teams gathered around, and there were a few people on Sao Paulo's side who were eager to try and seem to want to stand up for Ricardo. However, the tall captain Cheney blocked them all with one hand, and stood in front of Nilmar, staring at Nilmar condescendingly: "I want you to apologize immediately, otherwise I can't guarantee that my brothers won't eat you alive." ”

Nirmal was unconvinced, and was about to sneer at him, a big hand grabbed him by the collar and dragged him back. Guerrero stepped forward to meet Cheney's angry gaze: "I'm sorry, it's our fault, he said something he shouldn't have said, I'll make him reflect." ”

"Let him apologize to himself!" Cheney pointed to Nilmar.

"What's going on?" At this time, the four referees on duty also came over, and the referee Eric habitually put his hand in his trouser pocket to take out the cards.

"It's nothing, Mr. Referee, we had some misunderstanding." Andro. Guerrero said.

"There is no misunderstanding, Mr. Referee, this kid of the Brazilian international team is insulting my player, I hope you will deal with this matter fairly." Cheney didn't back down.

At this point, Ricardo finally calmed down and gave up struggling.

Referee Eric frowned and looked at Ricardo and then at Nilmar, "What did he insult for?" ”

The SΓ£o Paulo players were babbling.

"Enough!" Ricardo snorted, stopped his teammates, and looked at Eric again, "Sir, it's nothing, I'm not going to pursue the matter." ”

"Then disperse quickly and go back to your own locker room." Eric didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he said down the slope.

Cheney and the others were a little depressed, and Ricardo said lightly: "Don't say more, there is no point in fighting words, let's fight back against them on the court." ”

Back in the locker room, Osvaldo also knew about it, looked at Ricardo worriedly, and made up his mind not to let Ricardo play, worried that Ricardo would lose control of his emotions.

Ricardo didn't mention the appearance either. His appearance must come at the cost of a certain player replacing him, there is no need to take the initiative to offend people, just wait for Osvaldo to arrange.

After the break, the situation changed abruptly, and the Brazilian international team, which had been passive, suddenly took the initiative, making Bilario, who had been silent for half the court, jubilant again. More than 40,000 fans began to make noise for the home team.

"PΓ©rez, goal! He scored the equaliser for Inter Brasil! Under the passionate roar of the commentator, the home fans burst into unprecedented passion, which made the players of the Brazilian international team even more inspired.

In the 54th minute of the game, the two sides returned to the same running line.

Osvaldo's expression turned grim.

The Brazilian international team is not a weak team, they have also won the Brazilian domestic championship three times, dozens of state championships, and the team has an endless stream of excellent players, including Dunga, Lucio and other big names are born in Brazil International, even if it seems to be a little declining now, they also have Nirmal and Daniel. Carvalho and a good group of young players.

The disadvantage of this young team is that they are inexperienced, but if they play with passion and form, Sao Paulo will be uncomfortable.

To add insult to injury, SΓ£o Paulo was injured again. He limped to the sideline after a scramble and signaled to the team doctor that he had a thigh muscle strain. His expression looked annoyed, he had just made a comeback, and he was injured again, which would greatly affect his state.

To be on the safe side, Osvaldo decided to replace him immediately.

So who to play? Osvaldo's gaze roamed between Reinaldo and Ricardo.

Reinaldo's eyes looked excited, and he was already eager to take off his coat.

Ricardo's gaze was calm, as calm as a bottomless pool of water, as if unaffected by the previous incident.

After a moment of hesitation, Osvaldo made a decision: "Ricardo, you come on the field to replace Fabiano. ”

Reinaldo's face was unhappy, his lips moving slightly, as if he wanted to curse a few swear words.

Kaka smiled and patted Ricardo on the shoulder: "It's your performance time again, play well, don't be swayed by emotions." ”

"I won't." Ricardo took a deep breath, stood up, and quickly began a simple warm-up.

Two minutes later, there was a chance for a dead ball and Ricardo came on.

In the period before he came on, Sao Paulo had one man less and played a bit passively. But he believes he can make a difference soon.

His excellent performances in two consecutive games made Internacional Brasil dare not take him lightly, and wherever he went, he was closely marked by a Internacional player.

A minute later, Ricardo had his first touch. He was on the edge of the box and had his back to Ricardinho's pass. He stopped steadily, and the football was firmly at his feet. The captain of the Brazilian international team, Andro. Guerrero immediately leaned to his body, using his hands and feet to squeeze Licardo out of the danger zone.

Most people thought that Ricardo would pass the ball quickly, because his style of play in the first two games was to play the ball quickly, and he could hardly be seen dribbling himself.

They selectively ignored the fact that Ricardo had set up Fabiano's goal after several players in the previous game.

Face Andro. Guerrero's pressing, Ricardo's foot on the ball and turning straight when Andro. When Guerrero stretched his leg to break the ball, he quickly pulled the ball back and flicked it to the right and went around it with ease.

Two more steps, to the top of the arc, the Brazilian international players have been outflanked, Andro. Guerreiro also grabbed Ricardo's jersey behind him and chased after him, but Ricardo did not hesitate and shot directly at the goal. The ball pierced the sky like white lightning, unhindered, and drilled into the top left corner of the goal. The Brazilian international goalkeeper was stunned and didn't make a save!

"Ricardo goal! Score with the first touch of the ball! He proved to us that all the praise we gave him was worthy of his name! ”
