"You did a good job, and I'm very satisfied with your performance." Rojas first set the tone with a positive tone.
"In the second half, we can try more attacks, but we still need to pay attention to the defense. Gustavo, Leonardo, you can come forward to assist, but you must ensure that you can return to defense in time."
"Ricardo, your position in the second half can be a little bit earlier, pay attention to pull more to the sidelines, to meet our sidelines."
Riccardino nodded.
"Ricardo, when Ricardo is on the side, you have to pay attention to retreat and take good measures. In the second half, you have to be bolder and take the ball and decide what to do according to your own judgment."
Since Kaka's departure, Ricardo has become a well-deserved core. Rojas has even given him unlimited firing rights. He can choose to shoot at any time and from any position. No one could blame him even if it was radiating.
However, Ricardo prefers an efficient offense and rarely abuses this right. Moreover, he is consciously training his ability to organize attacks and assists in preparation for the arrival of Serie A to assist Zornaldo.
If he is pursuing his own goals, at this time his number of goals in Bajiao has already exceeded 30. In fact, many times he did not choose to shoot himself in an excellent position and passed the ball to his teammates to score.
Regarding Ricardo's responsibility, his teammates have no opinion. In the past year, Ricardo has repeatedly carried his team with his outstanding performance. He deserves a core position and is worthy of the top The salary is worthy of Roxas' tailor-made tactics.
The only thing that worries his teammates is that Ricardo obviously won't stay in São Paulo for long. After Ricardo leaves, where should São Paulo go?
However, at least this season, they don't need to consider this issue.
When São Paulo's players stepped out of the player's aisle, Cruzeiro happened to be out. Merlo trot caught up with Ricardo in two steps and greeted with a smile.
Merlot seems to have gained a solid main position this season, with more experience in the game. Coupled with his fierce expression, he has already taken the shape of a midfielder and has effectively curbed Ricardo in the first half.
He is only two centimeters taller than Ricardo, but because of his shaved head, he looks the same as Ricardo. At the age of 20, he has not yet built a strong muscle, and weighs about the same as Ricardo. The two stood together, looking at the same size from the back.
However, the fame and status of the two are different. Although Philip Merlo can become an intercontinental star in the future, at this time he is still a certain distance from the national level. He is a little-known legend in Brazil. He wants to be selected for the national team with many years to go; Ricardo Already a proper intercontinental class, the national team's shining star, one of Brazil's biggest domestic stars.
Ricardo didn't understand why Merlot had to say hello to him, he had no friendship with Merlot. But he responded with a smile: "Hello."
"Ricardo," Merlot looked somewhat restrained. "Are you free to get together?"
Ricardo is even more surprised, this guy is too familiar.
But Mello quickly added: "I just changed my agent and now my agent is also Farah."
Then Ricardo understood, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll open a party and ask you to play."
Merlot immediately expressed his joy. Now that he has made friends with Ricardo, it can really be said that it is "high climbing".
After the game restarted, according to the tactics formulated by Rojas, São Paulo played steadily and advanced slowly. Ricardo and Riccardinho used excellent technology to ensure the quality of the ball control. They did not pursue a lethal blow, but first promised not to let The opponent counterattacked the ball.
Between opportunity and security, St. Paul chose security first.
But Ricardo can make his own decisions, and when he wants to take risks, he can suddenly rely on his own ability to create murder.
Cruzeiro has always attached great importance to Ricardo. When Ricardo retreated, Merlot would defend him closely; when he reached the 9th position, Brazilian international Chris would stay with him. However, in the first half, Ricardo scored the equalizer with excellent running position and exquisite footwork.
After the start of the second half, Cruzeiro coach Lusenborg asked his players to continue to strengthen their defense against Ricardo, taking foul tactics when necessary.
Merlot had shown respect for Ricardo before, and was even flattering, but on the court, he was relentless, and Ricardo was repeatedly kicked by him until he was carrying a yellow card and only slightly converged.
And São Paulo also got the opportunity to set the ball in the frontcourt one after another. Unfortunately, Cruzeiro's positioning ball defense is very solid, São Paulo failed to score.
Roxas folded his hands on his chest on the side of the field, his expression seemed calm, but there were some gains and losses. Judging from the situation on the court, it seems that São Paulo can only score if he puts more effort into the attack, but he is worried that if he really invests more in the offensive end, Cruzeiro will sneak in. What to do to fight back?
Between his misfortunes, there was another wave on the court.
Cruzeiro launched the attack. The midfield engine Alex used a long pass to find the striker Aristiabal. Aristiabal steadily unloaded the ball, ran the ball ten meters, and scored On the right, turn it over to Mao Linhuo.
Moulin Huo took the ball and broke the bottom, and was about to make a cross Spiked the ball and passed Julio Santos, who was too fierce, and then made a cross. Aristiabal missed the first point, and the veteran Jin Huo shot in the back.
At this time, St. Paul's captain Cheney made a good move. He flung the ball with a very stretched posture and knocked the ball out of the baseline. Only then came a scream of exclaimation from Morumbi's stand.
Alex takes a corner kick, Lugano grabs the first point and kicks the ball out. Ricardo's barb kicks the ball in the direction of Cruzeiro.
This was just a siege, but a figure wearing a red and black jersey with white background chased it at high speed!
"Ricardo! His speed is very fast! He kicked the ball before Merlot, and he passed the middle circle, leaving only Maicon in front!" The narrator shouted, "Ricardo did not pass, Choose your own to break the ball! Maicon turned and chased after him, and his speed was fast, but Ricardo was faster! When he reached the penalty area, Ricardo kicked his feet ... Passing the ball! Fabiano goal! He did not disappoint Li With this opportunity created by Cardo, he defended the goal and hit the ball into the empty goal! São Paulo at home led 2-1! "
After scoring, São Paulo returned to the defensive line, leaving only Ricardo to swim in the frontcourt. Lucenborg made substitution adjustments continuously, but still couldn't change the situation. In the end, São Paulo scored 3 points at home and chased the points gap by only 1 point.
