The National Championships will not start until April. In this month, São Paulo only needs to focus on the Liberator Cup.
圣 In the second round match against Cali America at home on March 19, São Paulo was able to send out the strongest lineup other than Luis Fabiano who was sidelined by injury.
The Calis Americas coach Lozada looked very low-key at the pre-match conference this time. The score of 5: 1 in the last round gave him no more arrogant capital. "São Paulo is the most powerful team in our group. Our goal in this game is to obtain a draw. Of course, this goal is not easy to achieve, after all, we are playing away."
"The lads are very well prepared and we will go all out in the game. The group qualify? The game has to be played one by one. Of course I believe we can get the right to qualify."
"The most threatening people in São Paulo? Of course, Ricardo, and Kaka. When they play well, it is difficult for someone on the planet to stop them. We did some countermeasures, but we need actual matches to test."
"The unpleasantness of the game has passed, and I think we can look forward. Ricardo is a young player who can be forgiven for his improper manner."
卡 Ricardo was also asked in an interview about the last time he had performed a throat-cut in his fight with Cali America.
"I was very angry and lost my mind at the time. I knew it was wrong to do this. It gave a bad example to the youth fans in front of the TV. I'm sorry for that." That being said, Ricardo's true thoughts But it is: dry, if I come again, of course I will do it! Cali America fans are too poor!
"Tomorrow's game I will play with my usual heart. I have missed two South American Liberator Cup games, which has given me profound lessons and I will be more mature in the future."
当然 "Of course I hope I can score," Ricardo said so sharply for the first time in an interview. "My partner and Kaka are indestructible. I don't believe Kali America can stop us."
The next day, more than 50,000 fans poured into the Morumby Stadium. In the fans' singing, Ricardo scored the first score for São Paulo in the 11th minute.
This is a chance for a free kick in the frontcourt. Ricardo left the ball. The football flew high and the arc was large. The goalkeeper did not dare to rush. No one touched the ball in the front, and Ricardo jumped high in the back, and the header hit the goal.
"Children beloved by God, your glory comes from God!"
"Ricardo, dear son of God, you have our love!"
"You can always please us with goals!"
The fans sang in unison "the son of God from St. Paul". After the goal, Ricardo rushed to the side of the pitch and his hands kept rising, signalling the fans to be louder and louder.
小 莉莉 杨静妤 and her father Yang Rui were also in the crowd, singing with the rhythm, immersed in the joyful atmosphere.
The Cali Americas, who are lagging behind, are not eager to attack, and they are fully prepared for the possibility that they may fall behind. They are still unhurriedly organizing the offense, not giving São Paulo a chance to fight back.
At the same time, they strengthened their defense. Kaka and Ricardo were kicked consecutively. By the end of the first half, their team had already carried five yellow cards.
After a short break, the two sides re-exchanged, and São Paulo, who had a one-ball advantage, played more calmly. Ricardo retreated slightly and closed in. He formed a triangle with Kaka and Ricardo, which will midfield. Well organized.
Immediately after Ricardo closed, left-back Gustavo Neri frequently assisted.
São Paulo's second goal was initiated by him. After receiving a diagonal pass from Ricardo, he inserted a sharp knife into the penalty area of the Cali America team, and then passed the ball to the back point.
After taking the ball, Ricco took too long to adjust the shot angle, so he had to pass the ball again. This time he gave an inverted triangle pass and hit the ball near the penalty spot.
Kaka shot on the ball and the two players of the Cali America team jumped up to block, but this was a fake action. Kaka moved the ball to the left. Ricardo followed up and shot from the left foot. The football bypassed the opponent. Goalkeeper Zapata's arm rolled into the bottom right corner of the goal.
St. Paul's 2-0 lead!
Not long after that, Cali America became even worse.
When Ricardo tried to make a breakthrough with a ball at the front of the penalty area, he was smashed by Ferrari from the side. The referee gave São Paulo a free kick in an excellent position and showed him a second yellow card and sent him off. .
After Ricardo rearranged his leg guards, he was preparing to go to the ambush in the penalty area. Ricardo had stopped him: "Come on, you kick this ball."
The Colombians speak Spanish, and Ricardo is not worried that his opponents can understand him.
Ricardo was shocked. Last season, he was designated by Oswaldo as the team's third free kicker. This season, after Rojas took over the team, this arrangement has been retained. But he has not taken a direct free kick in the game really let me come? "
"Come here, this is an opportunity for you to perform a hat-trick, you have to take care of it!" Riccardinho said with a smile, "I cover you."
So Ricardo also stood in front of the ball. This ball is about 22 meters from the goal and a bit to the left outside the penalty area, which is the most suitable position for a free kick from the right foot.
Ricardinho stood a little farther from the ball, and he needed a longer run-up for a free kick.
Zapata commanded the Cali American team players to form a wall, blocking Ricardo in front of him.
The wall must be 9 meters away from the ball, but in this era, the referees will not yet draw a line in front of the wall, so Cali America players will sneak forward. According to Ricardo's visual observation, they are the most away from the football. 7 and a half meters.
Brigadione protested to the referee. The referee ran to signal the wall to retreat, but after the referee ran away, the wall moved a little further.
Ricardo doesn't care about it anymore, this distance is enough.
I waited for the referee to whistle, Ricardo first approached, his run-up distance was short, and Riccardinho started to run up when he ran to the ball.
Cali America thought that it would be Ricardo's shot to complete the shot, so when Ricardo's calf swinged, the wall did not take off.
Ricardo's foot was kicked heavily in the lower right of the football. The football rose into the air, spinning rapidly, and quickly crossed the wall. From this trend, it is likely to rise above the goal.
But Zapata did not dare to neglect, and still made a save action.
In his sight, the football started to fall! His left hand was stretched as far as possible, but it was almost, almost!
足球 After bypassing his fingertips, the football hit the net!
