The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Oriali looked at Da Baresi and signaled with his eyes: How about it?

Big Baresi shook his head first, then nodded lightly: "We still have to observe."

Tevez's name has been heard throughout Argentina, even as far away as Europe. The most important goal of Oriali and Da Baresi's trip is to inspect Riccardo, but they don't mind inspecting Tevez by the way. But now Ricciardo has not yet played well, but Tevez has already made a contribution.

Of course, as professional scouts, they will not only look at players whether they can score goals, but will examine a series of qualities.

At least so far, they are satisfied with Ricardo: speed, explosive power, physical confrontation, ability to get rid of the ball in a small area, position selection and movement... Ricardo is worthy of his reputation, worthy of his reputation. Confederations Cup top scorer title.

No goal has been scored so far, just because of Boca's intensive defensive tactics and his own bad luck.

Even if Tevez really showed higher qualities than Ricardo, the scouts from Inter Milan are still more inclined to choose Ricardo. Because Ricardo is Brazilian. Because Ricardo is Ronaldo's younger brother.

In this era, Inter Milan's "barbecue gang" has not yet formed. Although captain Zanetti is well-known in the team, Argentine players have not yet become popular.

And Ronaldo is the number one star of Inter Milan. In order to allow Ronaldo to better display his strength, the club will also give priority to Brazilian stars to assist him.

Adriano, Vampeta, Conceicao, etc. are all products of this thinking.

Rummenigge was also whispering to Schwartzbeck. Although Ricardo's performance in the Confederations Cup made them full of interest, they really wanted to bring Elber's fellow to Bayern, but judging from this game alone, it seems that Carlos Tevez, who is not well-known in Europe, is more interested. Fits Bayern's style.

Galliani and Leonardo were much calmer. The primary purpose of their trip was to make a final inspection of Kaka, and then start negotiations with Sao Paulo immediately after the game; On recommendation, Galliani also intends to investigate Ricardo.

Although it will take another year for Ricardo to transfer, if he is really the talent Milan needs, it is possible to reach an agreement in advance.

So far, Galliani is satisfied with Ricardo's performance. Ricardo and Kaka are the only two players in this game who play in a more European style.

Unlike other typical South American players, they seldom show off their feet, and their movements on the court are simple and neat.

Tactical literacy and a sense of the overall situation are very good. Although their physical confrontation ability is not satisfactory, it can be improved through training, while tactical thinking and playing style are not so easy to change.

Tevez's goal did not move Galliani, he was more interested in what kind of performance Kaka and Ricardo could play under such extremely unfavorable conditions?

Sao Paulo kick-off again.

Before kick-off, Ricardo walked up to Kaka, beckoned to Ricardinho, and communicated briefly.

"Although the ball is behind now, we still have hope and cannot give up early." Ricardo said.

Kaka lowered her head and said, "I have no intention of giving up."

Ricardinho also shrugged: "The word 'giving up' is not in my dictionary."

"That's good, but we also have to adjust our rhythm. We can no longer be counterattacked so frequently by our opponents. We need to do a better job of possession," Ricardo said, "The three of us need to be closer together. Chi (Kaka), you and I have to move closer to the center and give Ricardinho more support."

Kaka nodded.

Ricardinho was a little doubtful: "They are hoarding heavy defenses in the middle, and we also force the middle. The effect shouldn't be too good, right? I think you should make full use of the width of the field according to **'s requirements."

"I just don't think Ricky and I should be pure wingers," Ricardo explained. "We can create more threats in the middle. Receive the ball on the wing and use speed and technique to get the ball inside; or When you need to hit the ball, quickly get closer to the center and provide you with a point to hit the ball, this is what we need to do."

Ricardinho wasn't quite convinced yet, but they couldn't go on talking endlessly, so he nodded: "Give it a try."

After the game restarted, Ricardo and Kaka moved closer to the center more frequently, sometimes cutting inside with the ball when they had the ball, and sometimes running to the center to support when they were off the ball.

Rojas noticed this and frowned slightly, but soon his expression returned to normal. As a head coach, his coaching experience is not rich, and the current coaching process is also his learning process.

Players sometimes play freely on the court. As long as the effect is good, he will not say much. Instead, he will summarize after the game and keep some of the good things as the team's new tactical content.

This is the biggest difference between him and Osvaldo. Osvaldo is self-respecting for his rich experience and the style of a famous coach. He is stubborn, rigid, and seldom flexible. He can't wait to let his players implement his tactical play like a robot. How can he give his players so much freedom.

Under Ricardo's proposal, the changes made by Sao Paulo's frontcourt players have indeed made Sao Paulo's offense smoother, and the adduction of Ricardo and Kaka can also give the two full-backs more room for assists.

Left-back Fabiano and right-back Gabriel are both typical South American full-backs who are strong in offense and weak in defense. Now it is in their favor to let them go all out to attack. Both of them consciously played heartily and played well .

Although Sao Paulo attacked aggressively, it didn't just rush the ball into the Boca Juniors' penalty area and finish it off with a hasty shot.

Despite being behind by a large score, with the cooperation and scheduling of the trio of Ricardo, Ricardinho and Kaka, their offense played very methodically, pursuing the ultimate ball possession, not giving up the ball easily, and not giving up the ball easily. Blindly pass the ball from the wing, reducing the chance for Boca Juniors to steal the ball and counterattack.

However, this style of play seems a bit too prudent, and rarely creates a chance for a fatal blow.

From the goal of Boca Juniors until the end of the first half, in these 10 minutes, Sao Paulo had only two shots, one was Kaka's low shot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area, and the other was Ricardo who dribbled the ball into the penalty area after breaking through Inside, in a low pass, Fabiano grabbed some strong shots, but they were all resolved by the opponent's goalkeeper Abundan Sheri.

Although Sao Paulo had fewer offenses, it did not give Boca Juniors a good chance to counterattack.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the Sao Paulo players were a little bit sorry. They feel that they are about to break the goal, and if there are one or five more minutes, Boca Juniors will not be able to bear the pressure and the goal will fall.

And now, going into the second half with the ball gap, it's a tough challenge for Sao Paulo.
