Before the end of the first half, Ricardo launched an attack from the left, smashing through the two national team players and knocking the ball to young Elton. After Elton took the ball and pushed it directly, Fabiano understood it, and moved diagonally. After successfully receiving the ball, he completed the shot and recovered a goal for São Paulo.
After the start of the second half, São Paulo's morale was stronger, but the national team gave them a head start: Peralta made a low-level pass after the sideline breakthrough, and midfielder Morales followed up with a push and succeeded, expanding the score to 3: 1.
At this time, Rojas made a decisive substitution, replacing Riccardinho and Fabiano with insufficient physical strength, leaving only Ricardo in the frontcourt.
换 The substitutions brought amazing results this time, and the young players on the field performed well.
First, Ricardo assisted Tardelli and scored. Soon after Rico passed the ball, Ricardo scored the goal and rewritten the score to 3: 3.
In the last 10 minutes of the game, both sides were close to exhaustion, but they played for a few minutes each time. Peralta scored a long shot to make the national team lead again. In the 86th minute, Ricardo took the national team in a juggling position. 3 people, Miao passed to the door to help Elton score.
Eventually the two sides battled to a 4: 4 draw, which is a rare high score. One can imagine how bad the state of the backcourt players in this game was.
I wheezed for 2 days, São Paulo took home and welcomed Guarani, the second opponent in the league. Facing the underdog Guarani, São Paulo was exhausted, with defensive loopholes and weak offense. In the end, the two sides reached a 1: 1 draw. São Paulo scored a penalty by captain Cheney to barely tie the opponent.
After this game, Ricardo, together with teammates Fabiano, Ricardo and Cheney, once again came to the Comari estate training ground in the satellite city of Rio de Janeiro, Teresopolis, and this time The Brazilian national team meets.
In this period, the national team basically did not recruit players who played in the five major leagues. Most of the 22 players came from the Brazilian domestic league, so Ricardo's São Paulo teammate Fabiano and others could be selected. Unfortunately, Kaka was injured, and this time he was unable to put on the national team's shirt.
It is worth mentioning that Santos's Diego and Renato have also been selected for the national team in this period, but Robinho's first national team trip has to wait for the future.
巴西 On April 30th, Brazil played against Mexico in Maracana. Ricardo started and made a pass and assisted Fabiano in the 38th minute to score.
In the second half of the second half, the Brazilian team made a big rotation, and Ricardo was also replaced, thus ending his second trip to the national team.
后 After the game, before returning to São Paulo, Pereira found Ricardo alone.
"At this time, take care of your body and don't get hurt. Also keep in shape, I hope to see you keep scoring."
卡 Ricardo smiled thoughtfully: "Sir, can I go to the Confederations Cup?"
Pereira nodded gently: "I have a chance."
Ricardo suddenly increased his confidence.
This year's Confederations Cup will be held in France in June. Brazil has not always cared about the Confederations Cup. Except for recruiting the main force in preparation for the World Cup in the Confederations Cup in 1997, it is generally to send teams of marginal players to the Confederations Cup.
Ricardo felt that it was necessary to compete for the main position in this competition. Ronaldo is definitely not coming. Ricardo was reluctant to substitute anyone except Ronaldo.
And if you want to play the main force ... In addition to your performance in training, your performance in the South American Liberator Cup and the league is also very important.
But in the next league, he has no chance to perform. Not only him, Fabiano and Riccardinho also took the bench. Rojas will stay for the second round of the quarter-finals of the South American Liberator Cup. As a result, most of the main São Paulo were rotated. Lost to Coritiba 0: 2 away.
The league has 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss and only 4 points. Such a start can be unsatisfactory, making São Paulo's sports media criticize Roxas. However, the media did not say too much, they were all stunned, waiting for São Paulo in the South American Liberator Cup, it is their time to calculate the general ledger.
However, Rojas did not let them do so, São Paulo did not let them do so, and Ricardo did not let them do so.
On May 7, São Paulo in Morumbi launched an onslaught from the first minute of the opening. They did not accept losses, did not accept draws, only accepted victory!
In the first half of the second half, Ricardo made a pass, and Rico made a contribution to help São Paulo lead 2-1.
The situation changed suddenly in the second half. The national team pulled back a goal from Big Valdes, and the score became 2: 2.
If this score is maintained to the end of the game, the total score of both sides will be 6: 6, and a penalty kick will be played directly. There is no overtime in the South American Liberator Cup, and there is no rule for more goals scored away.
As Roxas failed, Ricardo stepped forward again. At that time, it was already the time of injury and stoppage time. Riccardinho made a free kick in the frontcourt. The national team defender raised his leg to make a clearance. He turned his back to the goal, leaned against the national team's defender, picked the ball gently, then jumped up and kicked the ball, and the football echoed into the net.
With this goal, São Paulo eliminated the strong opponent of the national team with a total score of 7: 6 and reached the top 8.
A total of 4 Brazilian clubs participated in the top 32 group games of the Liberator Cup of South America this time. In addition to Sao Paulo, there are Corinthians, San Caetano and Gremio.
These 4 teams all made the group smoothly, but in the quarter-finals Corinthian lost to the riverbed, San Caetano unfortunately lost the total score 3: 4 to Boca, leaving only Sao Paulo and Gremio entered the quarterfinals, and they represent the only remaining face of Brazilian football in this South American top club event.
In addition to the two Brazilian teams in the quarterfinals, there are also two Argentine teams, Riverbed and Boca, two Colombian teams Cali America and Medellin, and a Mexican team and a Chilean team.
São Paulo's next opponent will be the club Blue Cross from Mexico.
The first round match between the two sides will take place on May 21. Prior to this, São Paulo has several league games to play.
On the day when Sao Paulo successfully entered the top 8 of the South American Liberator Cup, the semifinals of the European Champions Cup, the highest event of the European club, also started.
The Milan doubles played in the first round. Although both matches were played in San Siro, the first round was the home of AC Milan.
AC Milan's strong defense is undoubtedly clear. Nesta, Maldini, Costa Kuta, Gattuso's defense line made Ronaldo return, and the two sides became 0: 0.
His Majesty's bout against each other, Inter Milan can enter the Champions League final again after 30 years as long as they win a goal.
