The Day I Played with Ronaldo

When the Sao Paulo players walked out of the tunnel and stepped onto the lawn of the Caldera Stadium again, they found that the stadium was almost full.

The stands that can accommodate 20,000 fans are clearly divided. About 4,000 Sao Paulo fans waving the tricolor flag are concentrated in the East Stand, and the rest of the site is occupied by Santos fans.

The game has not yet started, and the fans of both sides have entered into a state of battle, trying to overwhelm the opponent's voice, setting off wave after wave of sound.

Throughout the pre-match preparations, the referee had to shout loudly to communicate with the captains of the two teams.

Cheney guessed the wrong coin, and Santos chose to tee off first. They flipped the ball back a few times and suddenly hit the front wing, using Robinho's speed to tear through the Sao Paulo defense.

The commentator exclaimed: "Robinho broke through with the ball! He passed Baptista and passed the ball to Diego after passing two people in a row! Diego went straight! Binho went in! Shot! A very threatening ball, the football brushed the post and rolled out of the baseline. Within 30 seconds of the opening, Santos gave Sao Paulo a blow!"

Osvaldo rushed to the sidelines, yelling and reminding the defensive players to concentrate. He was very annoyed. In the locker room, he repeatedly reminded the players not to relax their vigilance and not to underestimate the young players of Santos, but Sao Paulo's defense still made a careless mistake.

Gabriel, who had stepped forward to grab Robinho just now, shot easily and was easily passed. Baptista also rushed forward recklessly, but was easily swayed away by Robinho with a fake pass.

And when Robinho handed the ball to Diego, Lugano didn't go to defend Robinho, but rushed forward to try to steal the ball from Diego's feet. As a result, Diego made a beautiful fake move and swayed the angle. Throwing it to Robinho, giving the latter a chance to kick and shoot.

If the players really play according to their deployment, Santos will never get this opportunity!

Goal kick from Sao Paulo.

Santos' strikers did not withdraw, but ran actively in the frontcourt. Cheney did not dare to pass the ball to the defender, so he had to kick it.

Fabiano lost in the overhead competition, the ball was ejected by Santos' central defender Alex, Ricardo and the opponent's midfielder Almeida competed for this landing point at the same time.

Ricardo was a little faster, touched the ball first, and unloaded the ball smoothly. Before he could turn around, a huge force came from behind him, and he fell down in embarrassment.

"Ricciardo jumped up and stopped the ball with his thighs, his stop was really pleasing to watch, very smooth, the ball stopped very well. Almeida rushed up and knocked him down, the referee called a foul and gave Sao Paulo a goal. free kick."

There was a burst of boos from the stands, and the home fans expressed dissatisfaction with Ricardo, thinking that he was suspected of acting.

Licado lay on the ground and looked at the referee. Almeida first spread his hands to indicate that he did not move his hands, and then immediately extended his hand to Licado. Licado grabbed his hands and climbed up. Fabiano stepped forward to argue with the referee, thinking that Almeida should be given a yellow card, the referee shook his head.

Fabiano didn't argue too much, he shrugged and ran away. This is an away game, and the penalty scale will definitely be affected.

After Licado stood up, he jumped. At that moment just now, he felt that his bones were falling apart, and he was hit hard. It seems that Santos is going to take a foul tactic against him today. Almeida didn't need to foul the ball just now, but with such a big move, it is obviously to give him a blow.

Ricardo was not angry at all. On the football field, these are normal operations, and it is not worth affecting your emotions.

Santos coach Celsorot watched the scene from the sidelines, showing a faint smile. Sao Paulo's trident has been in such a good state recently, of course he will not ignore it. When setting up before the game, he formulated a defensive strategy for these three in detail.

To Ricardo, he said this: "Judging from past videos, the player Ricardo avoids physical confrontation a bit. It is understandable that he is still too young and his body is not yet fully developed. He is at a disadvantage. And when he is growing up, the injury will have a great impact on him. So in view of his characteristics, your defense should be more aggressive, don't worry about getting cards, and show your momentum."

Almeida was faithfully executing his deployment.

He didn't know whether Ricardo would be affected by the ball, anyway, if he failed once, he would do it twice, and if he failed twice, he would choose three times. He believed that Ricardo would definitely choose to back down.

As long as Riccardo's state is suppressed, one wing of St. Paul's attack will be broken, and he will not be able to fly.

Sao Paulo's free kick was taken by Ricardinho, who chose a conservative short pass to Ricardo. This time, it was replaced by Renato and quickly posted it. Ricardo did not stop the ball, handed the ball to Baptista, turned around and ran forward. Renato did not follow him.

Baptista passed the ball to Kaka, Kaka tried to break through but was unsuccessful, so he slowed down, Ricardo retreated to respond, and Kaka immediately distributed the ball.

Ricardo was about to stop the ball, but Almeida rushed up and knocked him down.

This time the referee did not whistle, he thought it was a reasonable collision. Li Kado thumped the lawn heavily, and quickly got up to fight back.

Think this will make me surrender? You don't understand how tough I was defending in Italy.

At the same time, he also understood that Santos did not send a special person to mark him closely today, but used zone defense.

It's not that Celsorot doesn't pay enough attention to him, it's determined by Santos' formation. Santos played a 433 formation today, with only 3 midfielders. If a defensive midfielder is used to mark him specifically, the midfielder will be stretched.

It is not appropriate to let the defenders mark him, because Ricardo is not the kind of center-forward who plays in the front, but is used to retreating frequently to catch the ball. If a defender is sent to defend him closely, it will cause loopholes in the defense. .

When the ball was not under his feet, Ricardo did not stare at the ball, but was paying attention to the opponent's defensive position, and only observed the whereabouts of the football from the corner of his eye.

Soon Sao Paulo organized an attack again. After Kaka held the ball in the middle, he found that there was no space to break through with the ball, and decisively took a half-high ball to the left.

Ricardo was already close to the sideline, he jumped up and stopped the ball with his chest, at this moment Renato rushed over, raised his foot high while taking off, almost kicking Ricardo's vitals with the spikes .

Ricardo hesitated at this moment, and quickly dodged after landing. Renato also retracted his feet in time and did not continue to shine the studs, but he still hit Licado heavily, and the two rolled out of the sideline together.

Ricardo once again felt the feeling of being hit by an oncoming truck.
