Adriano's father passed away, and the news of his return to Brazil for the funeral appeared in major sports media for a while. ┏Ⅹ④③⑨⑨┛

However, the media did not look down on the Brazilian team's winning situation because of this, because to be honest, although Adriano is very strong and can be regarded as a top 10 striker in the world, the Brazilian team does not rely on him.

Without him, Robinho would have had more chances.

Adriano is expected to be out for a week and will be available for the rest of the season should Brazil break through the group.

On June 16, in the first group match of Group B of the Confederations Cup, the Brazilian team faced the 2004 European Cup champion Greece.

The entire Brazilian team wore black veils on their arms and observed a minute of silence before the game.

After the opening game, it was clear that the European champions were no match for the world champions. The defensive counterattack that the Greek team is good at is useless in front of the Brazilians because they can't defend.

In just 7 minutes of the opening, Ronaldo used his iconic long-distance attack, started to dribble the ball in the midfield, passed 3 people in a row, broke through the penalty area, and then shook the Greek goalkeeper who was attacking, and scored the ball into the empty goal, scoring for Brazil. The expected lead.

In the 31st minute, Kaka also staged a long-distance attack, but he passed the ball to Ronaldo when he was approaching the goal, helping the latter score twice.

Everything went well, the Greek team had no power to fight back and was completely suppressed, and the 5-star Brazil showed its championship posture.

During the intermission, the atmosphere in the Brazil locker room was very relaxed. Everyone was chatting about topics that had nothing to do with the game, and Pereira did not arrange tactics too much. He could see that the Greek team was broken.

Only 5 minutes into the second half, Ricardo broke into the penalty area after a two-for-one cooperation with Ronaldo, and scored another goal for Brazil with a low shot from his right foot.

The rest of the game was completely garbage time. From the 60th minute, Pereira dispatched troops and replaced Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and other players successively, allowing them to fully rest.

Juninho, who came off the bench, took advantage of a free kick to help Brazil expand the score to 4:0.

Then the teenager Robinho, who came off the bench, knocked horizontally in front of the penalty area, and Kaka shot with his right foot, rewriting the score again.

The Brazilian team beat their opponents 5:0 and made a good start in the Confederations Cup.

The new European champions were humiliated by 5 goals,

The European media fell silent for a moment.

Even if you look down on Greece and think that Greece won the championship because of luck and ugly defensive tactics, but after all, they have reached the top of Europe and represent the face of Europe.

As a result, they swallowed 5 goals in front of the Brazilian team and failed to score a goal. Does it herald the rise of South American football and the decline of European football?

After the game, Ronaldo was bluffed, and he was always right anyway.

Ricardo, Ronaldinho and Kaka also received a lot of praise.

"In the last Confederations Cup, Ricardo was the top scorer and almost helped Brazil win the championship. This time, he came back strong, and his partner with his brother Ronaldo has killed four sides in the Champions League this season. It is hard to imagine United. Someone in the cup can stop them."

"Brazil's magic 4-team has been played, and they handed over a satisfactory answer sheet in the game. Although Adriano missed the game due to family reasons, the talented Brazil team is still 5:0 Big win over Greece. Brazil's defense wasn't seriously tested in this game, so it's not clear what impact four attacking players will have on Brazil's defense ...Pereira thinks his team can strike a balance and maybe the next game against Mexico will test their defense."

And that night, the players from Inter Milan had another good news. In the second round of the Coppa Italia final, Inter Milan, who played at home, drew 1:1 with Rome in the absence of many main players and won the Coppa Italia.

So far, Inter Milan has officially entered the ranks of the Triple Crown, becoming the fifth Triple Crown in Europe! The revival of the century-old wealthy family has been perfectly achieved at this moment!

On the evening of June 19, the Brazilian team in Group B faced Mexico, the champion of Central and North America.

In this game, Brazil's starting lineup has changed a lot. Ronaldo rested, and Ricardo and Robinho partnered up front.

The midfield has also changed a lot. Ronaldinho takes a break, Emerson takes a break, and Lucio takes a break.

Ricardo looked very tired during the game, he was not active in running, and his reaction in front of the goal was always half a beat. He played for a season, especially the long-term double match a week, and now he is exhausted.

Ricardo was lost and Ronaldinho was on truce, causing Brazil's offense to be like constipation. Compared with the big victory over Greece three days ago, it was completely two teams.

At the end of the first half, Mexico had a 1-goal lead.

In the second half, the Brazilian team began to exert their strength, but Robinho and Ricardo wasted opportunities one after another. For Riccardo, this kind of situation is really rare to encounter several times in a season, but he just couldn't find his shooting boots in this game. His overtired body affected his sense of the ball, and he couldn't hit the ball with confidence in the past at all today.

In the 75th minute, Mexico scored another goal.

Brazil, who fell behind by two goals, woke up from a dream. Pereira also sent Ronaldinho and Emerson to the field, but it was too late. Before the end of the game, Robinho scored a goal, avoiding the embarrassment of the Brazilian team being zero. In the end, the Brazilian team lost 1:2, and the situation of qualifying from the group suddenly became severe.

But looking at their final opponents, the Brazilians relaxed again.

In the last game they will play against the Asian champions, the Japanese team.

Japanese football has made rapid progress in recent years, but it is still too early to say that it will wrestle with the Brazilian team.

Pereira doesn't attach much importance to this game. For him, this Confederations Cup is just training, and it doesn't matter whether he wins or not. Therefore, he still sent a mixed lineup with half of the main force and half of the substitute. On the front line, he tried Ronaldo and Robinho's combination, Ricardo sitting on the bench. He could finally get a little rest.

Although this day is his birthday, he wanted to play the game, but Pereira firmly rejected his request, pointing out that in the past two months, he has been fighting high-intensity, with an average of double games a week, and his physical fitness is a bit unbearable That's why he was full of lead in his legs in the last game, and his performance was abnormal.

He must now rest if he is to perform well in the rest of the tournament.

So Ricardo helplessly sat on the bench to watch the battle. He also knew in his heart that Pereira was doing it for his own good, so he didn't get angry.

Facing the Asian champion, Brazil played like a world champion, and the Japanese were completely unable to stop the Brazilian's dance steps. Brazil took an early two-goal lead through Ronaldo's trademark goalkeeper goal and a Ronaldinho penalty.

It is worth mentioning that after scoring a goal, Ronaldo lifted his shirt to reveal the phrase on the lining: "Happy birthday, brother."

At that time, Ricardo sat on the bench and smiled happily. He likes this birthday present.

The Brazilian, who led by two goals, slacked off.

They misjudged the tenacity of the Japanese.

In the previous games, the Japanese also had one win and one loss, with the same three points as the Brazilian team, but the goal difference was at a disadvantage.

They are determined to enter the knockout round and play against more strong teams.

So after the Brazilian team slacked off, they started a tenacious attack, and Hidetoshi Nakata scored a goal before the break.

In the second half, the Brazilians were still lazily unable to lift their spirits, but the Japanese team carried forward the samurai spirit and became more courageous as they fought.
