The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 438 Too Difficult Too Difficult
As the first half passed halfway, both sides began to speed up.

In the 44th minute, the Brazilian team launched an attack from the right. After Maicon passed the ball to Ricardo, who came to meet him, he continued to advance and quickly got Ricardo's oblique plug. He adjusted his kick and immediately made a pass. Brazil Putista grabbed a point in the penalty area and hit Carlini's chest in the attack.

In the 45th minute, the Uruguayan counterattacked and Forlan ended the attack with a hasty kick from outside the box.

The game entered stoppage time.With the game suspended for 13 minutes when the lights failed, there was an extra-long stoppage time in the first half: 15 minutes.

In the 2nd minute of stoppage time, the Brazilian team instigated an attack on the left, and after continuous lateral transfers, they hit the ball to the front of the penalty area.Maicon and Ricardo once again kicked into the wall. Maicon suddenly crossed the penalty area to the goal. Lowe, who was outflanking, fell to the ground in a physical confrontation with the defender. The referee did not award a penalty.

The slow-motion replay showed that D. Rodriguez, who was defending Lowe, had a hand movement.Uruguay escaped a penalty.

After Carlini hugged the ball, he immediately threw the ball to launch a counterattack. Recoba never got a chance to kick the ball and was squeezed to the bottom line. Finally, when he tried to cross, he hit the defender's leg and went out of the bottom line.

Recoba took the corner himself, a little too close to the goal, and Doni struck the ball away.But the point of the ball was not controlled by the Brazilian player. Forlan stopped the ball with his chest on the penalty area line, and volleyed the ball smartly. The football flew into the near corner of the goal against the turf.

Uruguay equalized the score.

Tavares jumped up from the coach's bench and waved his fist triumphantly at the Brazil coach's bench.He feels good about equalizing a mighty Brazil.

Deng Jia pursed his lips tightly, and the hard lines on his face showed that he was suppressing his anger at the moment.The whole team had problems in this game and gave the opponent too many opportunities.

It cannot be said that the whole team has a problem, at least one person is normal.He looked at the figure in the yellow No. 10 jersey.

In this America's Cup, Ricardo put on Brazil's No. 10 for the first time.Will he lead the team to glory like Pele did back then?Or will he be famous like Zico, but unable to lead the team to major honors?Or like Rai later, doing nothing?
If you want to wear a crown, you must first bear its weight.At this point, Ricardo has done a good job. Since he wore the No. 10 jersey, he has scored 3 goals in 7 games. His state can no longer be said to be "good", but "too fucking good".

But can he lead Brazil to the next level?
Ricardo has yet to score a goal today, but this is because he dropped too deep after Brazil's attack was blocked.He was involved in organizing almost every attack of the Brazilian team, making the Brazilian team's attack smooth, but also reducing his chances of scoring goals.

Without him, Brazil's midfield would have been out of control today.

But you can't have your cake and eat it too.If you want Ricardo to organize the attack, you have to sacrifice his own offensive ability.

Dunga hesitated for a long time, and called Licado over. "You go up, push me up front. I need you to score!"

Ricardo glanced at him in surprise, nodded and said, "Okay."

The game restarts.After the Brazil team kicked off, Ricardo moved forward according to Dunga's instructions. Without Ricardo's go-between, the Brazilian team's midfield operation was indeed a bit difficult.

After a few minutes of midfield contention, in the 9th minute of stoppage time, Brazil got a free kick in an excellent position.

The ball is only about 24 meters from the goal, almost directly on the goal, which is the dream position of any free-kicker.

Riccardo stood in front of the ball with Baptista and Kaka.

Uruguay players are getting nervous.They all still remember the scene of being eliminated by Ricardo's free kick in the Copa America in 04.

Under Carlini's command, they dillydally set up the human wall.

All the fans in the stadium held their breath and watched as Licado ran up and swung his legs. The football flew high, passed the wall of people and fell rapidly, and got into the junction of the pillar and the crossbeam.

Carlini stood still, just turned around and watched the football hit the net.

The Uruguayan fans made gestures of covering their faces or hugging their heads together, while the Brazilian fans and neutral fans started to celebrate. Their burst of cheers completely covered up the sighs of the Uruguayan fans.

"Riccardo Goallllll! He scored a wonderful free kick! Oh God, I must not be able to sleep tonight after witnessing such a goal!" The 4th goal scored in 8 games in this Copa America! He is only one step away from the record of 9 goals held by Gal Rosa Pinto, Humbert Masjo and Javier Ambrois away!"

Ricardo himself is also very excited. His free kicks have not been very good this year, and he has Beckham and Roberto Carlos competing with him for free kicks at the club. This is only his scoring in official games second free kick.

After the celebration, Ricardo yelled at his teammates: "Keep this goal! Don't make another mistake!"

Although he is not the captain, he is performing the duties of the captain.

Seeing this scene, Dunga's heart moved.As the new coach, he should have his own lineage.Maybe it's time for a change of captain.

Uruguay kick off.

The Brazilian team seemed very excited after scoring the goal, and immediately launched a frontcourt press. Uruguay made a mistake after a few inversions. Josue intercepted the ball, and he immediately stuffed the ball to the left. The ball, dunked past Lugano, passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area.

Ricardo made a high-speed oblique insertion from the top of the penalty area to get the ball before Carini, who was attacking.

However, Carlini had blocked his shot angle, and Ricardo forced a shot with his left foot, and the ball bounced off Carini's leg.

However, Uruguay's danger has not been ruled out.Kaka didn't know when he ran into the penalty area. Unmarked, he shot at the football. The football flew between the two defenders and fell into the net.

"Kaka Goallllll! Brazil scored 3 goals in 2 minutes! Now the score is 3:1, Brazil leads!"

"Uruguay didn't play badly today. For most of the time, they were evenly matched with the Brazilian team. However, the collapse in just 3 minutes almost ruined all their efforts!"

Tavares jumped anxiously on the sidelines.He knows exactly what it means to be two goals behind against Brazil.

The world always sees Brazil's powerful and luxurious offense, but those who really understand football know that the basis for Brazil to win so many championships is a solid defense!
It is too difficult, too difficult to get back.
