The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Chapter 76 Malicious Foul

The goal stunned the coaches of both sides.

Osvaldo was better. After being surprised, he applauded with a smile on his face, then sat back on the coach's bench and tapped Erlang's legs comfortably. The team takes the lead and can fight back more resolutely. As long as the players on the field don't kill themselves, the game will be stable!

And Flamengo coach Nelson O. Baptista has a dark cloud on his face. Ricardo's unexpected goal completely disrupted his pre-match arrangement. At this time, he can only pray that the boys will not be disturbed by this goal, can stick to the inherent pace, and fight steadily to equalize the score in the first half.

Before the kick-off was resumed, he stood on the sidelines waving and called Felipe Melo. Although the midfielder is still very young and was only selected for the first team last season, he already has a fierce spirit in him. His physical fitness is considered good among his peers, and his speed and agility are above the standard. Although the height is only a little over 1.8 meters, and his strength is a bit weak, but his style is tough, his feet are fierce, and he dares to fight physically.

In the future, he will play for the Viola, the Old Lady and the Nerazzurri. He has been selected for the Brazilian national team many times and has grown into an outstanding animal waist.

But at this moment he is still a little immature, and his defensive skill tree has not yet been pointed out, and he has not even played the main role in Flamengo. If it weren't for tactical needs, Nelson O. Baptista would not let him start in such an important game.

"Your mission is to keep an eye on Ricardo, don't give him another chance to take a shot, understand?" Nelson O Baptista said seriously.

"Understood, I won't let him kick easily again." Mello nodded heavily.

"If you can't do it, I'll put someone who can."

Of course it must be done, Felipe Melo thought. No matter how much the media brags, the opponent is just a 16-year-old kid. If you let this kid score goals in front of you, it will be difficult for you to have a bright future in Flamengo.

After Flamengo kicked off again, Ricardo found that Felipe Melo was closely following him. This wasn't the first time he had been treated as a close-up man-marker, so Ricardo didn't take it too seriously.

But he soon felt something different from before.

Ricardo passed the ball, and Ricardo retreated to respond. Before he touched the ball, a huge force came from behind him. Ricardo stumbled and barely stopped the football. A thick leg stretched out from behind. Come on, kick him down with the ball.

In a hurry, Ricardo immediately kicked out and passed the ball back to Baptista, but that thick leg was still castrated and kicked heavily on Ricardo's calf. He flew up, and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Dysprosium!" The referee blew his whistle in time, ran over, and said a few words to Felipe Melo. Felipe Melo spoke quickly with gestures, indicating that he did not intentionally foul, but accidentally brought Ricardo down during the steal.

The referee on duty gave a few verbal warnings, then let Melo go, and only awarded a free kick. This aroused the dissatisfaction of the Sao Paulo players. They came up to put pressure on the referee. Ricardinho rushed to the referee and said excitedly: "This is a malicious foul! He should be given a red card!"

Even the good old Kaka stared angrily and shouted: "You should protect skilled players! Pay attention to your penalty scale!"

"You don't need to teach me how to make a penalty," the referee said coldly, "Stay back, or I will show you a yellow card!"

At this moment, Licado got up, bared his teeth, walked over with a limp, and dragged his teammates away: "Don't make trouble, play well, and leave the negotiation with the referee to the captain."

Sao Paulo's captain Cheney rushed over from the goal, just in time to hear Ricardo's words. "Brothers, Little Ricardo is right, let me do it."

He pulled Kaka and Ricardinho behind him,

The referee who was expressionless said: "The foul just now was really bad. I think at least one yellow card should be given for such a foul."

"I don't think so," the referee insisted on the original penalty, and said firmly, "It's just an ordinary tactical foul. That's fine, you go back, I won't change my mind."

Of course Cheney knows that it is almost impossible for the referee to change the penalty on the court, but he still has to come forward and put pressure on the referee, otherwise Sao Paulo may always be targeted by unfavorable penalties.

He nodded, "We obey the penalty, but please also pay attention to protect our players and don't let us suffer unnecessary injuries."

"I will consider it." The referee waved his hand.

The game continued. Licado took the time to look at his injury, there was already a bruise under the knee, but luckily no joint was injured, and it only slightly affected his running.

In order to protect himself, Riccardo shortened his ball holding time in the following time and often used one kick to play the ball. Even so, he was frequently violated by Felipe Melo, and was led by Melo several times. The ball went out together.

The referee also turned a blind eye to this, and never drew cards to Melo, and Melo's actions became more and more serious.

Sao Paulo players were very dissatisfied with this and increased the scale of their actions one after another. Naturally, the Flamengo players who were fighting at home were not to be outdone, and their actions became more and more fierce, just like in an indiscriminate fighting field.

The referee had to issue 3 yellow cards in 5 minutes to curb this trend slightly. Baptista and Lugano both got yellow robes, and another Flamengo midfielder, Fabinho, also got a topaz card.

But Felipe Melo, the chief culprit who provoked the fiery emotions of both sides, was safe and sound.

Osvaldo watched anxiously from the sidelines, he was already considering replacing Ricardo in advance.

Whether it is to protect young players or to allow the team to play the next game with a complete lineup, he should not continue to play at the risk of injury to Ricardo.

Li Kaduo was expressionless, and got up quickly every time he was kicked down. Although Melo's movements were ferocious, they didn't aim at his ankles, knees and other joints. They just caused him some minor injuries, which was nothing. In football, if you don't get injured, you don't really play football.

He was already planning to fight back in his heart.

What is the best counterattack? A goal of course. However, as a player who plays football with his brain, of course Ricardo will not go straight up. He is watching, thinking. He noticed that Felipe Melo used his left foot for several steals. This is a left-footed player. A plan gradually formed in his mind.
