Ricardo stood on the edge of the penalty area and caught the ball on his back. Behind him is Costa Kuta, who is constantly squeezing him with his body, trying to squeeze him away from the penalty area; beside him is Gattuso, trying to steal the ball from under his feet.
Ricardo stomped the ball backwards and swaggered to the left, avoiding Gattuso's steal, followed a half-turn and shot.
When he shot, he felt that the supporting legs were a bit weak, which caused insufficient strength, but the angle was still very tricky, passing under the Costa Kuta's Majesty, straight to the bottom left corner of the goal.
Dida made an accurate judgment, quickly fell to the ground and fluttered. Finally, the finger tipped the ball, and the football changed its direction slightly, hit the post, and broke the baseline.
Ricardo yelled depressedly. Hastily, this ball hasn't scored!
"Ricardo opened the angle and shot! The wonderful save, Dida saved AC Milan. Ricardo missed a chance to kill the game! If the ball is more powerful, the speed is faster, maybe it will be scored .It's a pity! São Paulo's corner. "The commentator of Brazil Global Sports TV with regret.
"The game has entered the last minute of injury stoppage time. After this corner kick, St. Paul's regular game time will end."
"Riccardinho took a corner kick too close to the goalkeeper and was confiscated by Dida. The referee sounded a whistle and the two sides will enter the overtime!"
"The current Toyota Cup overtime will adopt the silver ball system. If a team scores a goal within 15 minutes of the first half of the overtime, and the opponent does not equalize within 15 minutes, the team with the advanced goal will win. .But if the opponent equalizes the score, then they will enter the second half of overtime. "
After returning to the sidelines, everyone had no strength to speak. The team doctor nervously massaged and relaxed the players. Fortunately, today AC Milan did not play dirty, and no players were seriously injured.
Of course, a small injury is also inevitable. For example, Ricardo, who suffered the most fouls in São Paulo's team, had several bruises in his legs and a slight strain on his ankle. He was taking off the shoes and socks while enjoying the massage of the team doctor. Soak your legs in an ice bucket.
Riccardinho was also kicked by Gattuso in the course of a fight with Gattuso. In the second half of the game, he was kicked with a thick bandage. At this time, he was cleaning the wound and re-wound. bandage.
Roxas seized the time to indoctrinate players to play overtime. In fact, there is nothing to adjust, at this time, a "spell" is enough to summarize.
In terms of the overall strength of the players and the team's tactics, São Paulo is fully behind, but only depends on the personal capabilities of a few players such as Ricardo and AC Milan.
Although it is said that if the tactics are properly arranged, it is not impossible to win a victory, but Rojas is not a master of tactics.
He has been a youth team coach for the first time this season.
Although the state league, Barclays, South American Liberator Cup and other events have given him some experience, but compared to Ancelotti's world-famous coach, he is still too immature.
After explaining the tactical layout to a few key players, Roxas looked at Ricardo stiffly.
It's not right to say how much he values the Toyota Cup. This event is not very important and the bonus is not much.
But since it's a fight, wouldn't it be a pity to lose again?
Ricardo, can you lead the team to victory again?
...
ac Milan, Ancelotti made the last substitution adjustment. "Gennaro, take a break."
Gattuso nodded. His short hair was all wet and sticky on his head, and his image was a bit embarrassed. He is not dissatisfied with being replaced, he fights too hard, consumes too much energy, and everything is for tactical needs.
"Massimo, ready to play."
Ambrosini, who still had an ankle injury, responded, "OK." He rose quickly and took off his coat. He started warming up after the 75th minute of the game, which was almost the time.
"My task is to keep up with Ricardo. Wherever he goes, you follow. Don't give him a shot again."
Ambrosini nodded. "I understand."
In this game, Ricardo's performance is obvious to all, and it can be said that it is the most threatening player in São Paulo. If he can be frozen, São Paulo will not attack.
Ambrosini is not worried about whether he can complete the task. Although Ricardo is very strong, although he himself has minor injuries, but after 90 minutes of high-intensity confrontation, even Ricardo is an Iron Man. It's time to run out of energy.
After a short rest of 5 minutes, the players slowly walked back onto the court in preparation for the overtime.
In fact, all overtime games have a similar situation, that is, the two halves are usually dominated by two teams.
This is mainly due to the physical neck problem. No team can insist on a 120-minute high-strength game. Therefore, in overtime, it often takes a half-time respite to take a breath, and the other half aggressively attacks.
In today's game, AC Milan focused on the first half of the overtime.
São Paulo only left Ricardo to fight back in front, the rest of the players retired and clenched their teeth.
In the 98th minute, AC Milan got a good chance Pirlo took a free kick on the right side of the penalty area of São Paulo and passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area. Shevchenko pressed Juli in the back post. Osantos headed the ball and pushed it back to the goal. Maldini fired a left foot shot less than 3 meters in front of the goal. But he didn't hit the right spot when he kicked the ball. Cheney fell to the ground in time to block the ball. Riccardinho jumped up and volleyed to clear the ball.
This ball regrets the commentator of the Italian TV station. This is the best opportunity for overtime ac Milan.
In the 103rd minute, Pancarlo made a cross from the bottom after a breakthrough on the left and passed a high ball. None of the front players hit the ball. Inzaghi, lying in the back post, grabbed a volley with a right foot 4 meters away from the goal, but the ball hit the side net, scaring the players of São Paulo into a cold sweat.
When AC Milan was under pressure, even Martini, who is today's central defender, sometimes rushed to assist near the penalty area of São Paulo. Only Ambrosini, keeping in mind Ancelotti's instructions, stayed with him. Ricardo beside him.
Ricardo has taken a long walk on the court. Occasionally his teammates pass him the ball, and if he finds that the chances are small, he is too lazy to sprint. Only with a particularly good opportunity will he rise up with little physical energy and fight for it. But now his speed has dropped drastically, and his antagonism has also declined. Under the interference of Ambrosini, the first half of the entire overtime failed to hold the ball steadily once.
