The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Chapter 23 Fantastic debut

Adriano is a fantastic player, but you can't compare him to Ronaldo. Ronaldo was all about it: strength, creativity and subtle footwork, while Adriano was a very strong striker who could prove to be the best in the world in the future. But Ronaldo is still the number one striker in the world today. —— Shevchenko

Ricardo shot furiously, and the football, like an arrow off the string, quickly shortened the distance between it and the goal.

But it looks like it's a bit off.

The fans' emotions had just been mobilized, and within 0.2 seconds they relaxed again, ready to lament this one missed opportunity.

Yet a leg sticks out from the crowd. The football hit this leg, changed its line, and refracted towards the goal.

Flavio had already made a save before, but with this refraction, the football flew in the opposite direction of him.

not good! Flavio looked back in the air, and saw the football with a strange arc, falling lightly into the goal.

And he also seemed to be drenched by a basin of cold water, and it was cold to the bottom of his heart.

In the stands of the Mario Celso Petraglia stadium, the sighs of the Atlético de Parana fans gathered and then fell silent. Moments later, hundreds of Sao Paulo fans present cheered violently!

The voice of the commentator was full of passion: "Ricardo! In stoppage time of the game, Ricardo's goal helped Sao Paulo overtake the score! He is the hero of Sao Paulo! He scored twice in the first game, This is really a fantastic debut! Oh, sorry, just now this goal was counted in Miguel's name, it was only an assist by Ricardo. Although there was no brace, but one goal, one An assist, an instigation, Ricardo has proven his strength! And he is only 16 years old! He reminds me of Ronaldo when he was 16 years old! As Ronaldo's younger brother, will he copy Ronaldo's legend?"

Cheers erupted in bars large and small in Sao Paulo. Uncle Paul laughed, snatched 2,000 reais from the ashen-faced Jimmy, and said jokingly: "Thank you for your sponsorship, Jimmy, I decided to use this money to buy tickets to the home game of Sao Paulo. Take the whole family to watch the game and support little Ricardo."

Jimmy turned his head to ignore him. After a while, he said: "You can't keep him. If he can continue to perform like this, Sao Paulo will lose him in two years."

Uncle Paul winked his eyes: "At least we can still have good memories with him for two years, can't we?"

Jimmy was speechless.

...

In front of the TV, seeing Licado running and celebrating, Stella's heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

That figure is not stalwart, but it is so dazzling at the moment!

Even though I used to dislike him. Even though he's a scumbag. But at this moment, no one can stop him from becoming famous!

...

The game restarted, and as soon as Atlético Parana kicked off, the referee blew his whistle three times to end the game.

Sao Paulo's players embraced to celebrate the hard-won victory, and Osvaldo also rushed into the field excitedly. In contrast, most of the players of the Parana Athletic team sat on the ground weakly, feeling the gap from heaven to hell.

With helpless eyes, they looked at the figure who didn't look strong, and was even a little thin. That kid who was only 16 years old completely dominated the game today.

They could only watch helplessly as the Sao Paulo players surrounded the child and strutted towards the visiting team's seating area to pay tribute to the Sao Paulo fans who came from afar.

At this moment, they couldn't realize that they were witnessing the beginning of a legend.

...

Osvaldo did not bring Ricardo to the press conference after the game, mainly out of protection for Ricardo. Even before in the player tunnel,

He firmly protected Li Kaduo and prevented Li Kaduo from being interviewed.

Ricardo is too young. He has seen many young people lose themselves in front of sudden honors and flashing lights. He does not allow this talented young man to rise and fall quickly. He must do his best to make Licardo not Healthy development with less disturbance.

As he expected, the focus of the press conference was on Ricardo.

"Mr. Osvaldo, is it a gamble that you sent the 16-year-old young player Ricardo in the second half?"

Osvaldo frowned: "Maybe, maybe not. The important thing is that we won."

"Mr. Osvaldo, before this match, did you expect Ricardo to have such a wonderful performance?"

"He impressed me in training," Osvaldo did not answer directly, "so I decided to put him in the squad. I believe he has strength and I believe he can bring something different to the team."

"Mr. Osvaldo, may I ask why you didn't bring Ricardo to the press conference?"

"He just played 45 minutes. This is his first official game. He is still young, his physical reserves are not good, and now he needs to rest."

"Mr. Osvaldo, as far as I know, Ricardo is still on a youth contract. After such a wonderful debut, is Sao Paulo going to offer him a pre-professional contract?" The reporter was obviously prepared. However, when everyone lacked understanding of Ricardo, he hit the key point.

Osvaldo nodded: "Of course, he is a player that the club needs. Of course we will offer him a new contract. He is very happy in Sao Paulo. I believe he will renew his contract with the club as soon as possible."

One question after another came out of the mouths of different reporters, which made Osvaldo a little tired of coping. At this moment, he was extremely thankful that he did not bring Licado to the press conference, otherwise the atmosphere at the scene would really explode.

Brazil is a land of young talent, but it's still rare to see a flawless professional debut at just 16 years and two months old.
