In another game of group c, Paraguay passed Costa Rica by a penalty kick. Judging from the scene, Paraguay's victory is not convincing.
The media generally believe that Brazil will lock in a promotion spot, and the next round of the match between Paraguay and Chile will determine who the other promotion team is.
Of course, it is also possible that both teams can qualify because the Copa America is only divided into three groups. In addition to the first two teams in the group, the two better thirds can also advance to the quarterfinals.
As for Costa Rica ... everyone knows that they are here for soy sauce.
After the Brazilian team's first game, Ricardo is still busy. In addition to training, he has many other tasks to deal with daily.
Last year, he took out almost a quarter of his own money, asked his investment adviser Joo Carlos to register an investment company for him, and tried to persuade Ronaldo to buy a share.
Ronaldo didn't want to follow him to "fool around", but he couldn't stand Ricardo's soft slap, and finally invested $ 1 million.
The company was named "r & l Dalima Investment Co., Ltd.", abbreviated r & l. In addition to Ronaldo, Ricardo also left a few shares for Fara, Yang Fan, etc., and asked the headhunting company to find a group of outstanding management talents.
The daily affairs of the company are all handled by ceo, but the investment direction is specified by Ricardo himself.
The company's total registered capital is 5 million U.S. dollars, and its volume is not large. Compared with those giant investment companies such as Sequoia, it is almost like the gap between shrimp and whale.
However, Ricardo did not intend to invest in mature enterprises. He set up this company to mainly invest in angels, and does not need much capital for the time being. In the future, he will spend most of his salary and bonuses from playing football in this company.
He recently completed several investment projects, the most important of which was the angel round of Facebook. Invested $ 500,000 and got 8% of the original shares of Facebook.
As long as Zuckerberg follows up with each financing in the future, these shares will be worth tens of billions of dollars in the future.
But he will not hold these shares in his hands for so long, and will choose a suitable time to release them.
After all, his goal is not to be the richest man in the world, to make money just to realize his dream.
After finishing some of the company's affairs, Ricardo looked at the stock market again, and Apple's stock was still skyrocketing. Three-quarters of Ricardo's assets, nearly $ 12 million, have all bought Apple stock, and he knows how crazy this stock will perform in the next few years.
Although from the perspective of investment profit, it is better to go to China for real estate. After all, China's housing prices have increased by more than ten times since 2004.
However, Ricardo did not want to make money by earning the hard-earned money of the Chinese people, and frankly, his capital of more than 10 million US dollars is really not enough for real estate. So he simply bought Apple stock and planned to make money while lying down. Don't worry about anything, it's enough to sell off and prepare to count the money in two years.
Before going to bed, Ricardo made a habitual phone call to Stella, and didn't talk much, greeted him, talked a few chats, and said good night to each other and hung up the phone.
Stella is currently on the catwalk in Milan, and she intends to focus on European development in the next few years so that she can be closer to Ricardo.
Although Ricardo doesn't think it makes any sense.
A few days ago, when the two quarreled on the phone, Stella blurted out: "I really don't know how long I can bear you. Ricardo, I love you, but I'm not sure if I can go with you. "
Having been together for half a year, even stone people can have feelings. Ricardo does not deny that there is a fundamental difference in treating Stella by comparison with other women.
But he didn't plan to change anything. That's how he looks like he won't change for any woman. If you can't adapt to him, letting go is the best choice.
...
On the training ground of the Brazilian team, the cheers and laughter continued, and the players seemed very relaxed. Their next opponent is Costa Rica, the weakest team in the group stage. If they can win this game, Brazil can definitely enter the quarterfinals.
Although Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Kaka, Emerson, Ze Roberto, Robert Carlos, Cafu, Lucio and other big names have not been selected for this Brazilian team, these proud players do not think of Costa Rica Can create trouble for yourself.
You know, in the Japan-Korea World Cup group match two years ago, Brazil was 5: 2 to take the opponent.
Pereira experimented with several lineups in the team confrontation, but at the St. Augustine National University Stadium on the evening of July 11th, Pereira sent only a slight difference from the first game-the return from injury Kleiberson replaced Dudu. On the front line, Adriano and Ricardo are still young talented partners.
After the opening, the Brazilian team was not eager to attack, but firmly controlled the ball, and fell back and forth slowly. Costa Rica adopted a full-court pressing tactic, which prevented the Brazilian team from turning the ball possession advantage into a threatening attack, and the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.
After playing for more than 20 minutes, the Brazilian team did not even have a threatening shot. Instead, Costa Rica successfully countered on the spot with a steal in the frontcourt, creating several opportunities, but the Brazilian defender and goalkeeper Cesar were in excellent condition. , Did not allow opponents to score easily.
This Brazilian team has adopted a parallel midfield position. Alex is the core of the midfield organization, but he is not familiar with his position and he is more adapted to the role of the front waist.
In the last game, he was always mediocre. After the start of the game, he finally found a bit of state. After playing for 20 minutes, under his organization, Brazil's offensive gradually improved, and the speed gradually increased.
The two full-backs Mancini and Gustavoneri also began to assist frequently, putting pressure on Costa Rica's defense.
In the 40th minute Mancini's assist created a corner kick. Alex kicked the corner and hit the back point. After Ricardo stopped the ball, he turned a small angle shot and hit the side net.
Soon, the Brazilian team attacked again. Alex made a long pass into the penalty area. Adriano used his strong body to crush the Costa defender Marin and opened the attacking goalkeeper Ricardo Gonzalez. Lace, hit the ball into the empty goal.
The Brazilian team takes the lead!
The commentator of the Brazilian TV station said weirdly: "Adriano goalalll! He opened the door to victory for the Brazilian team! This is a typical Adriano-style goal, making full use of his physical advantage. Frankly speaking Adriano's characteristics are really not like a Brazilian player, but perhaps the Brazilian team needs such a strong frontcourt fulcrum to enrich its tactical play. "
"Although Ricardo did not seem to be involved in this goal, it does not mean that he did not contribute. Watching the slow-motion replay, everyone pays attention to Ricardo's position. When Alex was making adjustments and had not passed the ball, Adriano had two people beside him, Marin and Sequeira, but at this time Ricardo suddenly entered the restricted area. His speed was very fast. He went straight into the heart of Costa Rica. Sequeira had to make up for it. Then Alex passed the ball and gave it to Adriano. If there is no Ricardo's movement involved, whether Adriano can score the goal or not. "
