After losing the ball, Costa Rica players can not see the negative emotions of loss, depression, confusion and so on.
Perhaps in their perception, it is normal to lag behind Brazil, but it is not normal to lead.
They didn't waver when they fell behind. They still started a fierce frontcourt and dared to invest their forces when attacking.
The Brazilian team seemed to be relaxed after scoring, and the formation was a bit scattered for a while, and was beaten a little bit embarrassed.
If there is not much time left in the first half, Costa Rica may take the opportunity to equalize the score.
Soon, the first half ended and the two sides entered the locker room.
Pereira severely criticized the Brazilian team for the first 20 minutes and the last 5 minutes of the game. "You only played good for 20 minutes. At other times, you did not play like Brazil but like Zimbabwe."
"What is Zimbabwe?" Adriano whispered to Ricardo.
"Shut up and listen."
Pereira's gaze stared at the goalkeeper Adriano. Adriano bowed his head unconsciously and did not dare to look at Pereira. Pereira opened her mouth and criticized mercilessly: "Ad, congratulations, the goal was beautiful. But I can't help asking, where were you before this goal?"
Adriano bowed his head, afraid to refute. He did play lazily in the first half and wasn't active enough.
In fact, it's not just him. All Brazilian players, including Ricardo, can't play up against Costa Rica's weaker brigade, run inactively, and deal with ball procrastination.
Pereira pointed at the nose of each player and almost scolded him. There are no big names in this Brazilian team, but most of them are newcomers. No one dares to stand up against Pereira's authority. Only Pereira's roar is heard in the locker room, and no one dares to interject.
The training lasted for 10 minutes. Pereira only had 2 minutes to explain the tactics of the second half, and the rest 3 minutes to give the players a rest.
Perhaps he also subconsciously believes that winning Costa Rica is easy and does not require too much emphasis on tactics. Kick as much as you want, and you can win as much as you want.
It turns out that his idea is not wrong.
After the start of the second half, the Brazilian team's players were more focused and their running was more active. Although there was not much tactical adjustment, it was enough to completely suppress Costa Rica and almost staged a half court offensive and defensive exercise.
In the 50th minute, Ricardo retreated to the midfield to get the ball. After breaking through Centeno, he gave the ball to Alex and continued to move forward quickly.
Alex was attentive. After taking the ball, he made an easy-going "l" shape to get rid of it in place and pushed the ball directly in front of Ricardo.
This straight stoppage caused Costa Rica's defense to quickly show a huge flaw. Ricardo took the ball in the open area.
Sequeira and Wright hurriedly rushed to try to defend the block, but Ricardo's speed was amazing, and he immediately took the ball to the edge of the penalty area and volleyed with his right foot before they completed the round. The flight path of the football is not high Fly to the goal of Costa Rica almost against the lawn.
Goalkeeper Ricardo Gonzalez was too late to save, and the football hit the inside of the left post, making a muffled sound and rolling back.
The Brazilian team leads 2: 0!
The commentator did not feel excited about this goal, and it was taken for granted.
"Ricardo goal !!! He and Alex worked together in a two-on-two match, burst into the edge of the penalty area, burst into cold arrows, and successfully broke the door."
"It is worth mentioning that this is Ricardo's 10th goal for the Brazilian national team. After completing this milestone, he only used 16 appearances, including 7 starts and 9 substitutes."
"Ricardo has no playing experience with the Brazilian youth team. After his debut, he was directly selected into the adult national team. He just turned 18 a few days ago. It is conservatively estimated that he can play for the country for another 15 years. Currently the Brazilian national team's goal record It was 92 games and 77 goals maintained by the king of the ball. In my opinion, Ronaldo and Ricardo have a great chance of breaking this record! "
"At this time, the Brazilian team completely occupied the initiative on the field. It is a matter of time before goals are scored. Ricardo's ability to capture opportunities is still as good as ever. He successfully converted the advantage into goals. The Brazil team with 2 goals in hand It can already be said that the game is stable. As long as you do not make low-level mistakes, you can successfully win this game. The two games have 6 points and you can get the qualifying right in advance. "
His long story is not over yet, and the field has changed again. He has to take the rest of the words back and yell out: "goal !!!! Adriano scored twice!"
"Alex takes a corner kick. Costa Rican goalkeeper Ricardo Gonzalez did not pick up the ball. Adriano leaped his head high in the crowd and succeeded!"
"3: 0! We predicted a great victory before the game, and the boys successfully met our expectations!"
"Compared to a few days ago, today's Brazil team was judged as two! Especially Alex, he has already sent out 3 assists and staged an assist hat trick. His activation brought a great victory to the Brazilian team!"
Shortly after this goal, Pereira made two substitution adjustments in succession, replacing Dubby Cleiberson with 100% recovery, and fourth striker Oliveira replaced goalkeeper Rica. More, so that these two people can get enough rest.
Then Adriano received a cross from Gustavoneri, who succeeded in shovel shooting and successfully put on a hood.
Costa Rica only scored a face to save face in the 82nd minute.
This is an unexpected victory The Brazilian domestic media is also very bland, in addition to praising the high-performance Adriano, Alex and Ricardo, but also to the team There have been some criticisms of the shortcomings exposed.
Including the team's more cooperation errors, players are not focused enough on the court.
Adriano was recognized by the Brazilian media for the first time, which made him very happy. After returning to the hotel, he smiled and closed his mouth.
This poor child played for flamenco before the age of 18 and performed well, but not enough. He scored 13 goals in 36 appearances in two seasons and failed to impress the Brazilian fans.
Then he was fancy by Inter Milan, went to Serie A, away from Brazilian football, so Brazilian fans have not enough trust and understanding of him.
But this time he broke out in the America's Cup, finally let him enter the sight of thousands of Brazilian fans.
Although there are still many criticisms against him, such as the style of the game is too independent, the body is not flexible enough, the technology is not good enough, too few fancy moves on the court are not enough to please the fans. However, as a forward, as long as he can keep scoring, he will be favored by the head coach. His prospects for the Brazilian national team can be said to be bright.
