The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Brazil and Argentina are blood feuds in football. A large part of the reason why Pele became famous with one goal is that his opponent for the national team's debut and first goal was Argentina.

In the distant fossil age, there was another strong force in South America, Uruguay. In the 1950 World Cup, Uruguay defeated the Brazilian team at the Maracana Stadium in front of the Brazilian team and won the championship.

It can be said that at that time, Uruguay was the most hated by Brazilians, not one of them.

But in the past 30 to 40 years, South American football has gradually become a pattern of two powers competing for hegemony.

The so-called one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Both countries are talented and have achieved good results in the international arena. Therefore, the grievances and grievances between Brazil and Argentina have become entangled and too numerous to write.

In the Copa Libertadores, Brazil and Argentina have mostly competed for hegemony in recent years.

Although there were two Colombian teams in the semi-finals this time, it was still the teams from Argentina and Brazil that joined in the final.

Since the Copa Libertadores was founded in 1960, the Argentine Independiente has won seven championships.

Penarol from Uruguay has won the championship 5 times, but their last aspiration was in 1987.

Boca Juniors have won 4 titles. Then Argentina's La Plata University team won 3 times. Then Sao Paulo, Santos, River Plate Argentina, Gremio Brazil, Cruzeiro and Brazil International all won twice.

It can be seen that the teams from Argentina and Brazil have won almost half of the Copa Libertadores championships.

In the confrontation after confrontation, the hostility between the two sides increased day by day.

This time the collision was no exception. Back when Ricardo and the others were in France, the media on both sides began to hype up the match and spat at each other. The coaches, players, and celebrities of both sides also expressed their opinions, belittled or provoked their opponents, and cheered for their own side.

After the first round of the game, the Brazilian media collectively lost their voices, while the Argentine media were arrogant.

In the past two days, the Brazilian media has been full of grief, and even the "Folha Sao Paulo" seems to lack confidence: "...the return of Ricardo, Fabiano, etc. is a great benefit to Sao Paulo, but they just played on June 29. After a fierce game, it is still doubtful how much physical fitness and state can be maintained. Of course, under the leadership of Ricardo and others, Sao Paulo should not lose, and it is not difficult to even win. But If you want to win 2 goals or even 3 goals, it is too difficult, too difficult..."

"Reims Sports Daily" is even more pessimistic: "Sao Paulo, carrying two conceded goals, will return to the home court to fight for honor. I don't expect them to equalize or even reverse, as long as they can play the style of Brazilian football and play a wonderful game. The game is fine."

I have always liked the "Scoreboard" of Black Sao Paulo and Black Ricardo before. After replacing the column of Adrian Jesus, they finally stopped "black for black". Now their arguments are relatively objective: "Lee The return of Cardo, Ricardinho and others is decisive for Sao Paulo. In the first leg, Sao Paulo played like a headless chicken and could not organize an effective attack. In the second leg, I believe they can play It is different. It may be difficult to win more than two goals, but it is not impossible. Fabiano, Kaka, and Ricardo all have the ability to influence the outcome of the game on their own. But what to beware of is , Boca Juniors also have such players, Delgado and Carlos Tevez are definitely not opponents to be underestimated, Sao Paulo should pay attention."

At this time, the sky began to drizzle, and the reporters who were busy setting up camera equipment and taking pictures of the warming-up players hurriedly opened umbrellas, protected the equipment, and chatted loudly with each other to pass the time.

A reporter from the Argentine "Independent" Heljas greeted his Brazilian counterpart, Reci Hai, a reporter from "Lance Sport": "What do you think the result of this game will be?"

Lei Xihai glanced at him,

Said blankly: "Sao Paulo can win."

"Really," Helgath smiled indifferently, "Maybe, but the championship must be ours."

"Not necessarily, do you know," the smile on Lei Xihai's face flashed, "The championship trophy is here now? In Morombi. And, we will keep this trophy."

Helgath showed a mocking smile: "Are you so confident in Sao Paulo? Do you believe they can come back from two goals behind?"

"I have confidence in Ricardo, he is a player who is good at creating miracles."

"The same goes for Tevez. I always hear you Brazilian media bragging about how good Kaka is and how good Ricardo is. I don't know how Ricardo is. At least Kaka's performance in the last game was very average. He is as famous as him. Ricardo probably isn't doing too well." Helgath shook his head and said.

Lei Xihai sneered: "Then just watch with your eyes wide open."

Helgath laughed loudly: "We will definitely bring this trophy back to the candy box. I heard that Boca is preparing to hold a celebration ceremony in the candy box in 3 days."

"I think it's better for them to cancel the plan as soon as possible, so as not to be slapped in the face," Lei Xihai said coldly, "Everyone who looks down on Ricardo will be slapped in the face, and you Argentines are no exception .”

At this time, the players have finished warming up and returned to the locker room one after another. The head coaches of both sides will make the final arrangements.

In the locker room of the home team, Rojas slowly looked around the crowd, and every player caught by his gaze raised his chest and raised his head.

Rojas took one last deep look at Ricardo, retracted his gaze, and said loudly: "I am proud of you. Really, I am very proud. In this highest competition of South American clubs, you have come to the end, you Showed the world that we, Sao Paulo, are the best club in Brazil!"

"Now, we are only half a step away from the championship trophy. If we cross the past, we will return the trophy, adding a trophy to the club's honor showroom, and adding a brilliant touch to your resume. There is no crossing the past , you are just the runner-up, and history will not remember the runner-up."

"Tell me, are you the champion or the runner-up!"

"Champion!" "Champion!" "Champion!" Sao Paulo's players shouted in unison, all of them screaming hoarsely, with ferocious faces and bruised veins on their foreheads.

"Let's forget about the first round. Now, I want you to go straight to the court and fuck him!" Rojas, who was always gentle, burst into a curse.

The Sao Paulo players were also excited and shouted together: "Fuck him!"

Rojas waved his hand, and the players stood up suddenly, burning with fighting spirit, and rushed to the court. At this moment, they forgot that they were shouldering the heavy responsibility of two goals, and they forgot the loss in the first round. They only had one thought in their minds: get their opponents down!
