The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Ronaldinho takes the free kick.

The penalty spot is a bit far from the goal, about 36 or 37 meters. Unless Butters makes the same mistake as Kahn in the 2002 World Cup, direct shots will be impossible.

Ricardo and his teammates ambushed in the restricted area. In the Brazil team, he was not designated as a penalty shooter for free kicks or penalties.

Although he is confident that his free kick skills are not inferior to Ronaldinho at this age, the national team is a place where seniority is ranked. He can only put away his pride and self-confidence and start from scratch to win everything for himself.

After a short run-up, Ronaldinho drove the ball into the penalty area, but the French team's impenetrable defense pushed the ball out.

The football fell in front of Ricardinho, but he had no chance to stop and adjust slowly, because the French defenders had already rushed up.

Ricardinho glanced at the fast-approaching Pires, didn't stop the ball, and flicked the ball directly into the penalty area.

Several Brazilian players in the offside position consciously did not make any movement or catch the ball, but Ricardo rushed forward at this moment, he was not offside!

The French defender who was making an offside noticed Ricardo's high-speed jump, and Thuram and Desailly quickly chased him.

The two world-class defenders were like huge black dragons spreading their wings and pounced on Licado, putting great psychological pressure on Licado.

But Ricardo still unloaded the ball steadily. Facing the attacking Butters, he didn't hesitate any more, and he didn't try to drop the opponent again. The opportunity is fleeting, as long as he hesitates for a moment, Desailly and Thuram can rush to destroy the ball.

Licado kicked and shot directly!

Butters had been guarding against this move for a long time, and jumped up like a spring on the sole of his foot, but to his horror, he couldn't reach the football!

Maybe Ricardo knocked the ball into the air, at this moment, Butters comforted himself like this. After landing, he couldn't wait to look into the goal.

I saw that after the football flew to the highest point, it followed the physical characteristics of the earth's gravity and began to fall rapidly.

Butters felt a chill in his heart.

After Ricardo shot this kick, he turned around and started to celebrate. He has confidence in his footwork.

Lizarazu is still struggling to catch up. As the fastest member of the French team, if he was a few years younger, he should be able to catch up with this ball. But no matter how invincible a hero is, he is not invincible to time. After all, he is 34 years old. He chased after the goal in embarrassment, jumped up and tried a barb clearance, but missed the football by a hair.

With a bang, the football fell into the net!

"Beep!" The referee blew his whistle and pointed to the middle circle. The goal is valid!

Santini, the coach of the French team, looked serious.

For the Brazilian team, this Confederations Cup may be just for training and doesn't care about results.

But for the French team, this cup held in their home country is determined to win.

If someone else wins the championship at their own door, French fans will not tolerate it.

But it doesn't matter, there is still time. Santini has faith in his lads. Especially Henry, who has the ability to control the situation of the game. As long as Henry can explode, it is only a trivial matter to fall behind by one goal, and he can come back in minutes.

Thinking of this, Santini relaxed slightly and sat back on the coach's bench.

Pereira just stood up, lightly applauded Ricardo's goal, and then sat back on the coach's bench.

For this game, as long as the Brazilian team does not lose by a big score, he can accept any result. He will not be very happy if he wins, and he will not be depressed if he loses.

Re-tee.

The French team was not in a hurry to attack aggressively, but still moved slowly, organized by Pires in the midfield, and advanced steadily. After hitting the frontcourt, they will try to distribute the ball to Lizarazu or Sagueno, or several midfielders may pass the ball forward through cooperation.

Once the ball is lost, their players will engage in counter-attacks on the spot, not giving the Brazilian team a chance to counterattack quickly.

The game entered a stalemate.

The two sides competed in the midfield. Brazil was slightly disadvantaged, but with the personal skills of Ronaldinho and Ricardo, sometimes they could play a good match and threaten the goal of the French team.

But the French team has more opportunities.

They played at home with great momentum, and they did not affect their emotions at all because they conceded the ball first.

In the 37th minute, Pires made a wonderful pass to Dacourt from the front of the penalty area. After receiving the ball, Dacourt turned around and shot, but Dida saved the ball.

In the 41st minute, the French team cooperated on the left. Lizarazu passed the ball low and flat into the penalty area, and Henry grabbed a spot and shot slightly wide.

Three minutes later, at the same position, Henry received a pass from Lizarazu again. This time he adjusted a bit, turned around after smashing the ball, rubbed his right foot and shot the far corner of the goal.

Dida failed to make another contribution, and the French team equalized the score in the 44th minute by Henry!

Seeing the players of the French team celebrating passionately, Ricardo was filled with displeasure.

Even if half of the Brazilian team's main force is here, the French team can't tolerate being so wild.

Of course, Henry is indeed very strong. Ricardo had to admit that there was still a gap between the current self and Henry.

If you put yourself in Henry's position, it is likely that the running position will be a little bit worse. Stopping the ball, smashing the ball and turning around will be a little bit worse. These two add up a little bit. Although he is confident that his shooting skills will not be inferior to Henry, it is very likely that he will not be able to score goals.

The gap exists objectively. Henry is now an absolute world class, while Ricardo is only a weak intercontinental class.

But... Riccardo's heart surged with pride: I am only 17 years old now, and you are already 26 years old. When I am 26 years old, how can I know that I will not be able to reach the world class! Even the world's top!

As for the champion level, he didn't dare to think about it for the time being. Throughout the ages, there are only 3 world champions, Maradona, Pele, and Ronaldo. By the way, there will be Messi and Ronaldo in the future.

There are talents from generation to generation, each leading the way for more than ten years.

Ricardo doesn't think he has the ability to dominate, but if he can assist Ronaldo to dominate the football world for ten years, his life will be worthwhile.

Right now, he still doesn't have a clear understanding of his potential, and he doesn't know what height he will reach in the future.

At this time, he only regards a world-class star like Henry as the target of catching up.

The Brazilian team kicked off again, and the two sides consumed the first half of the game in a tacit understanding and entered the intermission.

On the way back to the locker room, there was little communication between the Brazilian and French players, only Ronaldinho, who played for Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, had a brief conversation with his opponent.

After entering the locker room, Ricardo originally expected to see Pereira put on a bad face, because the team really didn't play very well in the first half.

To his surprise, Pereira smiled and looked relaxed and happy.
