Because of calf muscle strain, Ricardo's training arrangements these days are mainly for recovery training and upper limb strength training.
He didn't want this small injury to become a lingering old injury.
The team doctor examined him every day, and the recovery was smooth, but the game did not wait for anyone. Soon he went to São Paulo to play against Da Gama. For the sake of insurance, Osvaldo still put the unrecovered Ricardo on the big list, but did not schedule his debut.
Huanda Gama has won 4 Brazilian national championships in history. The last two were won in 1997 and 2000 under the leadership of legendary star Romario. And in 1998 won the South American Liberator Cup. The current strength is also quite considerable, with an intercontinental star like "Beast" Edmondo, but the state is not very good, has lost hope of entering the playoffs.
Luanda Gamma was not arrested because of the strength of São Paulo. What's more, Ricardo didn't start because of injury, which is a great benefit for Da Gama. Miguel, who replaced Ricardo on the left, was too mediocre, and it was difficult to cause a substantial threat to Da Gama's defense.
伽 Da Gama, who owns the "beast" Edmondo, opened a free kick and sent São Paulo a dismissal in less than 5 minutes. Midfielder Da Silva quickly kicked the free kick in the frontcourt. Edmondo took the ball home and led the Baptista skillfully. He shot long distance at 25 meters from the goal and the football played. It popped on the beam, scaring Cheney into a cold sweat.
This is just the beginning. Under the strong pressure of São Paulo, Da Gamma has always maintained a high-quality counterattack. Each counter-attack is like a sharp knife.
They don't listen to the singing to the team they support, and boo and noise to the visiting team.
I don't know if it was disturbed by the fans or was abandoned by the **** of luck. The Dagama goalkeeper released his hand when Fabio took a long shot from Baptista and the football jumped to the bottom line. Roll away. However, a figure wearing a São Paulo jersey rushed in time before the football flew out of the bottom line, shot from a small angle, and penetrated the goal of Da Gama.
This is also the only goal in the first half. São Paulo worked very hard to expand the score, but the absence of Ricardo made their offense much more stagnant than usual, and the frontcourt also had a breaking point. Carlos Miguel is a good wing player, has skills, has an excellent cross, and passes and long shots are above the standard, but his speed is too slow and he cannot form an effective breakthrough. Need someone to feed the ball instead of holding the ball to launch the attack.
瑞 Rike and Kaka on the right are still a little lacking in understanding and it is difficult to make rapid progress. When Ricardo was on the court, he often played with Kaka with a heart-warming cooperation. Three or two foot passes hit the opponent's penalty area, and Rike did not yet have this ability.
After the start of the second half, Da Gamma began to force, and they discharged the 3232 formation. They effectively used the width of the field. The combined attack from the side made São Paulo's defense line crumbling. And the "beast" Edmondo finally made his contribution in the 66th minute. After shaking the ball at the edge of the penalty area, he continued to shake, and then shot at a sharp angle and made a heavy shot to break Cheney's ten fingers, ending perfectly. This offense.
瓦尔 Osvaldo was unwilling to accept a draw and replaced Ricardo in the 74th minute.
卡 Ricardo's appearance did improve São Paulo's aggressiveness by one level, but at this time Da Gama began to shrink the defense, the two wings guards reduced the assists, and devoted almost all their energy to the defense.
In the face of such intensive defense, Ricardo, who is still injured, can't come up with a very good solution. In the game against Santos, Ricardo has basically overcome his own demon, and no longer fears fouls and physical confrontations.
But this doesn't mean that he has to go to work when he is injured.
This is not a romantic youth campus drama, nor is it simply a beautiful sportsman in Anda Chong's comics. It is cruel competitive sports. Only people who know how to protect themselves and how to make appropriate choices can continue the competitive state for a long time and continue their professional career.
So Ricardo did not do his best. If this game is a Champions League final, or if it is a game of great significance related to the team's promotion, whether it can win the championship, and the qualification of the Champions League, he will certainly spare no effort. It's a pity that this game is not important.
He is only 16 years old, his career has just begun, and a bright future is waiting for him in the future. Why should he fight hard for an unimportant game?
Oswaldo naturally saw Ricardo's stroke, and he shook his head in this, his heart filled with disappointment. But he couldn't waste another substitution quota to replace Ricardo, so he could only grow angry and kicked a bottle of mineral water on the side of the field.
The photographer next to the stadium captured this scene keenly. It is conceivable that various media will play on this topic after the game and interpret a lot of content.
But soon, the photographer pointed the lens somewhere on the stand. Appearing in the camera is a beautiful woman with long chestnut hair Even in the wild stadium, her smile is still full of charming, low-cut vest covered with a Saint Paul scarf, covering Can't stop spring.
Alexandra Ambrosio.
She came to the Morumby Stadium again, obviously not to watch an insignificant match, so why did she come here? The answer is already on the horizon. It must be for Ricardo. There must be some profound connection between her and her 5-year-old Ricardo.
When the game ended with a 1: 1 score, São Paulo's players were weak and went back to the player channel in twos and threes.
卡 Ricardo did not return to the locker room immediately, he took the initiative to exchange shirts with Edmondo. Rumorous "beasts" seem amiable when facing Ricardo. He patted Ricardo's shoulder and said, "Your brother is the greatest player I have ever seen, Ricardo, but you are not bad. , Hope you will be 100% healthy next time you play. "
谢谢 "Thank you," Ricardo said, "your goal is quite wonderful."
Because he changed his jersey, he was one beat slower than his teammates, and was stopped by the side reporter in front of the player channel.
"What's your comment on your performance in this game?"
"This is obviously not my best game." Ricardo shrugged.
"Edmundo scored a beautiful goal today, how would you rate it?"
"Edmundo is a good player and I think he is a strong contender for the best scorer."
After asking a few words casually, the reporter quickly asked his most interesting question: "Ambrosio went to the scene to watch the game again today. Are you dating?"
Hearing this question, Ricardo paused for a while before he said, "No, we are not that mature yet."
