The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 149
"Goallllll! Ricardo used a free kick to expand the score for Sao Paulo! This is a very wonderful free kick, the arc is obvious, the angle is also very tricky, and it almost flew into the net against the goal post! Zapata said this The ball is completely powerless!" The commentator was full of praise for the goal, "This is the first time Ricardo took a free kick in an official game, and he scored successfully! Today is really his lucky day!"

"In the 67th minute of the game, Ricardo had completed a hat-trick. There is no suspense in this game. Sao Paulo has won the right to qualify for the third group of the Copa Libertadores ahead of schedule!"

"We are seeing a more and more comprehensive Ricardo, who can open the bow with both feet, and has a good header. Now we find that he still has free kick skills. As a striker, his organization and passing ability are also very good. Quite good. In the frontcourt, he can play forward, attacking midfielder, left winger, and he can play well in every position. Such a player, which coach would not like him!"

The commentator was rambling on, and the fans at the scene were also singing to express their love and support for Riccardo:

"God's favorite child, your glory comes from God!"

"You always entertain us with goals!"

"Glorious god-given son, oh, Ricardo!"

Amid the deafening singing, Rojas replaced Ricardo.In this game, Ricardo was violated 14 times in total, and the opponent received a total of 4 yellow cards on him. If he is not replaced, Rojas is very worried that he will be kicked and injured.

When he left the field, Riccardo's white jersey could no longer see its original color, and was completely stained by mud and grass juice.

Immediately after he left the field, he went to the team doctor for a simple examination. He had several bruises on each of his legs, but fortunately there was nothing serious about it.So he soaked his feet in an ice bucket and sat on the bench for the rest of the game.

After Ricardo went off the field, Sao Paulo's scoring performance was not over yet.First, the left-back Gustavo Neri, who has always been active, scored a long shot from outside the penalty area; at the end of the game, Kaka suddenly made a cross from behind the penalty area and assisted Ricardinho to score.

The final score was fixed at 5:0, and Sao Paulo, who played at home, won a hearty victory.

When Lozada attended the post-match press conference, his face was livid, and it was obvious that the loss was hard for him to accept.

"We did everything we could to prepare for what might happen in the game, but obviously we were not prepared enough. The lads did their best and the main responsibility for the loss lies with me."

"Why did we lose? Of course it's because we didn't have Ricardo and Kaka. If we also had these two players, it would be hard to tell the outcome of the game."

"There were some controversies in the game, some decisions of the referee put us in a disadvantageous situation, especially the two yellow cards of Ferrari, I don't want to question the referee's decision, but I would like to say that, in my opinion, the second yellow card It is unnecessary. Maybe I have a different perspective from the referee."

"Congratulations to Sao Paulo, their performance deserved this victory, I hope they can go further in this competition."

"One loss is not the end of the world. Now that we have six points in the group stage, we will work hard to qualify as second in the group."

Rojas, on the other hand, looked personable.Whoever wins is always more personable. "It was a great victory, America of Cali is not an easy opponent, luckily the lads completed our deployment [-] per cent, we gave everything in the game, so we got a good result."

"Yes, Ricardo's free kick was wonderful. But in normal training, I have seen him score free kicks many times, so I am not surprised."

When the reporter asked "Are you relying too much on Kaka and Ricardo", Rojas replied unceremoniously: "Too dependent on Kaka and Ricardo? When you have such players, of course you will choose Depend on them, they give you good returns. Only a fool would sit on such a good player and not use them well."

Then the reporter asked about the transfer rumors of Ricardo and Kaka.In the stands of this game, the cameras captured the faces of several well-known giants scouts.

"They have a contract with the club and I hope they can stay. But now it seems that anything is possible. The club received an offer from the Premier League in January for Kaka, but Kaka didn't want to. Going to the Premier League now, he hopes to stay and win some titles with us. As for the future, I don't know, let's see."

In fact, Rojas is very clear that the club will soon be unable to keep Kaka.In the next European summer transfer window, there will definitely be many teams making offers for Kaka.

With higher salaries, higher honors, and more attention, he couldn't think of a reason for Kaka to refuse to go to Europe.

As for Ricardo... thank goodness Ricardo is not yet 17, he will stay in Brazil for more than a year.

So Rojas' plan is to take all the trophies he can get while these two talents are still in the team.Such as the Copa Libertadores in front of you.

A week later, Sao Paulo went to Asunción to challenge the Paraguayan powerhouse October [-].Fabiano returned from injury, but Rojas did not take the risk of starting him, intending to give him more time to recover.

He continued to arrange for Ricardo to act as the center forward, and Ricardo was also at ease in this position, scoring twice in the first half of the game.

After entering the second half, Sao Paulo continued to maintain a strong offensive and scored goals one after another.

Ricardo, who had already scored two goals, was not in a hurry to get himself capped again, and he selflessly created opportunities for his teammates.

In the 69th minute, Kaka received a pass from Riccardo, shot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area and hit the far corner successfully, and the score became 3:0.

Then on October [-]th the team used a corner kick to get back a point, but soon Rico received a wonderful pass from Kaka to expand the score again.

Then Rojas replaced Fabiano to find his feeling. Before the end of the game, Fabiano used a free kick in the frontcourt to score. In the end, Sao Paulo defeated the opponent 5:1.

After this game, Sao Paulo has 5 games, 4 wins and 1 tie, with 13 points and 15 goal difference, and has secured the top spot in the group.

Therefore, in the last group match on April 4, in order to save energy for the first Brazilian match 16 days later, Rojas did his best to play as a substitute, and finally tied the National Athletic team 3:1 at home.

And Cali America defeated the October 4th team 1:[-] in the key battle, squeezed out the National Athletic, and qualified as the second place in the group.
