After winning the South American Liberator Cup, Kaka went to participate in the Central and North American Gold Cup, and São Paulo seemed to be in a doldrums, failing to win three games in a row, and Ricardo also suffered three games Ball shortage.
However, in the fourth game, Ricardo began to score and led São Paulo to a 1-0 victory over Flamenco, turning the tide.
Flamengo's coach this season is Osvaldo. The defeat of this game also widened the gap between Flamengo and the top of the list to 15 points, almost completely lost the hope of winning the championship.
Osvaldo said bitterly at the post-match press conference: "I know how great Ricardo is, and in fact I have made a lot of arrangements for him. But as long as he finds his condition, everything I have arranged Have become useless ... "
São Paulo also surpassed Santos with this victory and raised the ranking to second place, but they are still 6 points behind Cruzeiro.
Cruzeiro's performance this season is extremely strong, and without the drag of the South American Liberator Cup, he furiously grabbed points at the beginning of the season.
The four teams participating in the South American Liberator Cup have not performed well in the league.
But for São Paulo, this season won the important event of the South American Liberator Cup and the São Paulo State League, even if the league can not win the championship will not suffer any criticism.
In the second half of the season, São Paulo will continue to play in the third tier: the South American Cup (formerly the Common Market Cup), the League and the Brazil Cup. The status of the South American Cup is roughly equivalent to the UEFA Cup, but unlike the UEFA Cup, even if they participate in the South American Liberator Cup team, they can participate in the South American Cup.
For these three events, São Paulo cannot strive for all of them. After meeting with several big men in the team's locker room, Roxas finally decided to concentrate on dealing with the league. As for the South American Cup and Brazil Cup, they are ready to send off the bench.
Whether the league can counterattack to win the championship depends in large part on whether key players such as Ricardo can maintain a good state.
Ricardo's poor condition on the court in recent times, in fact, is very important because of some impact on his private life.
After winning the South American Liberator Cup, Ambrosio approached the door again, and the two rolled the sheets happily.
If it was just rolling sheets, Ricardo would gladly smile. But Ambrosio hasn't been very busy recently. He ran to him at both ends for three days, and asked him to eat, watch movies, and go shopping ... Of course, Ricardo didn't want to agree. Don't make time for her.
I walked the mall twice with Ambrosio-and before it was finished, was chased by the fans midway-Ricardo told her, otherwise we should not go out and watch football at home, I have a lot of videos of classic games here ...
Then there is no more. Ambrosio left the door and left, leaving a sentence: "Ricardo, if your character can find a girlfriend, I will run on the beach in Rio de Janeiro."
The two just broke up.
A week later, Ambrosio called again aggressively and asked: Are you dead, I told you to break up, and you won't keep it? Wouldn't you call to apologize?
Ricardo also lamented in his heart that he managed to get quiet for a week, but did not expect Ambrosio to let him go.
His attitude towards Ambrosio was also unclear. At the same time, he felt that Ambrosio was a favor in the room, which made him linger and forget his taste. But he did not want to spend too much time on Ambrosio, was unwilling to delay his time watching videos and training, and was not interested in understanding Ambrosio's heart and spending romantic time with her.
Therefore, it is estimated that this relationship will not last long. He was mentally prepared for this, and even if Ambrosio did leave, he would not be upset.
He and Ambrosio can't hide this affair from reporters. Soon, large and small media began publishing news that he and Ambrosio fell in love.
Ambrosio was not famous all over the country at this time, far from reaching the height of one of the "Brazil's three supermodels", so the exposure of her love relationship with Ricardo has greatly improved her popularity. After all, Ricardo is now one of Brazil's hottest stars. Note that it is the star, not the nova.
This season, Ricardo has played 30 times for São Paulo (including 4 bench appearances), assisted 16 goals and scored 29 goals. In any case, the word "nova" cannot be used to describe him.
Ricardo doesn't care about the exposure of his relationship with Ambrosio. Brazilian stars who haven't had any bad things, as long as the ball is played well, Brazilian fans have a high tolerance for those romantic affairs of the stars. Even Galincha, a star who has slept with hundreds of women and more than a dozen illegitimate children, is still enthusiastically loved by Brazilian fans.
What annoyed him was that Stella called and questioned after reading the newspaper. Ricardo wanted to answer her aggressively: What qualifications do you have to question me? What do I have to do with you?
But after all, he didn't say such hurtful words, so he was speechless.
The next morning when he went to tell Stella to run in the morning, Stella ignored him at all, and it seemed that he did not intend to ignore him any time soon.
Then forget it.
As long as there is football.
Ricardo likes Shankly's sentence: football has nothing to do with life and death, football is higher than life and death.
And women, just a little honey between life and death. Although sweet, it's optional.
...
One day in late July, a young man with a bald head and a pair of rabbit teeth showing a smile entered the Brafonda training base and was warmly welcomed from up and down by the São Paulo club.
He came to the training ground, talked to Rojas cordially, said hello to the players who stopped training and hugged Ricardo tightly.
After a while, he pushed Ricardo away, looked with joy, and said, "Brother, you are strong again!"
I haven't seen Ronaldo for half a year, and Ricardo is also excited: "Dadado, why are you here?"
"Well on vacation, come and see you." Ronaldo squeezed his eyes.
"This year's UEFA Champions League is a pity. After I go, our brothers must join hands to get a Champions League!" Ricardo said sternly.
"That's fine. You train first, and talk when you have dinner together."
It is naturally impossible for São Paulo to stop training completely because of Ronaldo's visit. Receiving Ronaldo's work, the staff of the own club do it.
After the sports director, club vice-chairman and others crowded Ronaldo to visit the trophy showroom, the training began again.
Ricardo was a little bit lost: Ronaldo would return to Rio if he wanted to see him. Why run to St. Paul yourself?
