In the 66th minute, the Brazilian team expanded the score again. Alex gave the ball to Adriano on the left side of the front of the penalty area. Ricardo immediately ran to the depths of the penalty area. The Mexican defensive player had to defend. Adriano's pressure suddenly eased and he took the ball. One kick, low left shot from 20 meters from the goal, hit the far corner of the goal accurately. 3: 0!
After this goal, Ricardo was replaced by Fabiano. After he ran to the sideline and Fabiano gave a high-five, Pereira greeted him and gave him his jacket in person. Wen Yan said: "You are doing well, Ricardo, I want you to leave early but just want to give you more Take a break, after all, you are still young and your body is still immature. "
"I understand, sir, thank you for your concern." Ricardo nodded. However, he knew clearly that such a substitution meant that, in Pereira's mind, Adriano's appearance was ahead of himself.
In terms of overall strength, Ricardo thinks he is better than Adriano.
If the body is strong, defending the ball in the penalty area, height, competing for the header, undoubtedly Adriano dominates.
The dribble breakthrough, movement, shooting in the penalty area, calmness in front of the door, cooperation with teammates, the ability to create opportunities, reading and understanding of the game, and control of the rhythm are stronger than Ricardo.
As for long shots, the free kick should be the same.
Ronaldo, Adriano, and Ricardo themselves represent three different styles.
Without Ronaldo, Ricardo believes that even if he is the coach, Adriano will be regarded as the chief striker, because although he is not as good as himself, he has a stronger impact.
But if it is a partnership with Ronaldo, Ricardo thinks he is the more suitable candidate.
With Ricardo's end, Brazil's offensive has slowed down, but Mexico has no fighting spirit and is on the verge of collapse.
The Brazilian team likes to beat the water dogs and doesn't mind a slaughter.
In the 79th minute, Gustavo Neri started the ball from the backcourt and looked directly at Adriano.
Neither Mexico's two defenders hit the ball, Adriano successfully took the ball into the penalty area, pushed the ball over Sanchez, hit the ball into the empty goal from a small angle, and Brazil led 4-0.
In the 87th minute, Adriano shot with a right foot 8 meters in front of the goal and was blocked by the goalkeeper. He quickly followed and got the ball again on the left side of the penalty area. When the angle was lost, he knocked back with the heel. Fabiano, who replaced Ricardo, pushed with his left foot 8 meters in front of the goal and the football rolled into the empty goal.
The final score was fixed at 5: 0, and the Brazil team won a hearty victory.
At the post-match press conference, La Volpe was undoubtedly embarrassing. He boasted Haikou before the game, but Mexico looked vulnerable to Brazil.
After he dealt with the reporter's problems bitterly, Pereira, who was full of light, began to gushed.
He talked about how he arranged his tactics in a targeted way and perfectly restrained Mexico; he talked about how the players worked hard and finally won a victory.
"Mr. Pereira, you replaced Ricardo again early in the game. Are you dissatisfied with his performance?"
"On the contrary, I'm very satisfied with his performance," Pereira explained. "It's not just because of his goals. His contribution to the Brazilian team must not be measured solely by goals. He is on the field and can assist. Alex can organize the team's offense together, can use personal skills to create opportunities, can use his excellent running to open up for teammates, and can score by himself. How can I be dissatisfied with such a comprehensive player. Put him Changing the field is just a protection. After all, he is the youngest player in Brazil. His body is still developing. I must use him carefully and give him a full rest. "
"Adriano has scored twice in this game. He has scored 6 goals in this event and is the best scorer in the Brazilian team. Before the Copa America started, many people questioned your call Adriano's decision, what do you want to say about this? "
"Adriano has proven himself in Serie A and I don't understand why he is being questioned. It turns out that he has the instinct to score and is an excellent scorer who does not call players like him into the national team It's a crime. "
"Fabiano also scored 2 goals in a limited playing time. His condition is so hot. Have you considered playing 3 strikers and letting Adriano, Ricardo and Fabiano play at the same time? Let Ricardo pull back and give Fabiano some chance? We know that Ricardo often plays in the front when he is in São Paulo, and he is qualified for this position. "
"Fabiano's performance is very exciting, but he still has some shortcomings and needs to continue to improve. From the present, I will not let the team rashly change the formation, we will adhere to our consistent playing method."
The most critical question was also asked: "When Ronaldo returns to the national team, who do you think can be better with him? Adriano or Ricardo?"
Pereira was rare and silent. After a while, he said ambiguously: "Adriano and Ricardo have their own characteristics. They are different types of forwards. I will decide who to play with Ronaldo based on the characteristics of the opponent."
...
So far, Adriano has made 4 appearances and scored 6 goals in this edition of the America's Cup.
Ricardo has played 3 times and scored 3 goals, ranking fourth in the scorer list.
But Ricardo does not think that his performance is worse than Adriano. because in Pereira's tactics, Adriano only needs to score goals, and he has to bear more Organization and tasks.
However, only half of Adriano's goals have made Ricardo a little uneasy. After all, Adriano is not only his rival in the national team, but also his main rival in the club.
But this did not prevent him and Adriano from becoming friends. In the national team, Ricardo has the best relationship with several players from Sao Paulo, Luis Fabiano, Gustavo Neri, Baptista, and Adriano. Already.
In fact, he and Adriano are far from each other in personality and have different hobbies. Adriano is very popular, he refuses to come to beauty, he likes to eat and drink, and Ricardo has strict requirements on himself.
However, the two do not conflict, Ricardo can respect Adriano's choice, Adriano does not like to interfere with others, and he is very outgoing and outgoing, and he is always active in the atmosphere.
Ricardo has begun to look forward to forming a trio of Brazil with Adriano and Ronaldo when he goes to Inter Milan.
