The days of playing football with Da Luo

Chapter 498 2008 Olympic Games

"What, the Olympics?" Licado thought he heard it wrong, "Sir, isn't this inappropriate, I'm going to play in the Olympics."

Dunga said solemnly: "What's inappropriate? You are a player of the right age. The Olympic age limit is 23 years old. You are not yet 22. Why is it inappropriate?"

Licado smiled wryly and said, "It's not about age. Think about it, I've already won the Golden Globe Award and the World Player of Football, and I'm going to play in the Olympics, isn't it too...too blah blah blah."

"I don't think it's a problem," Dunga said calmly. "I also recruited Ronaldinho, and he also won the Ballon d'Or."

Licado was speechless: "I understand, Boss, you want to make big news."

"Brazil has won five World Cup titles but has never won an Olympic title. Is that plausible?" Dunga said. "I hope you will join me in helping Brazil make a breakthrough."

Ricardo was silent for a while. 2008, BJ Olympics.Looks like a trip to China is also good.

As the old saying goes, riches and honor do not return to their hometowns, like traveling at night in brocade.

In this life, although my body is no longer Chinese, I still have a Chinese heart.

Showing my skills in front of Chinese fans is one of the things I am most eager to do.

"Hey," Licardo sighed, "I haven't had a vacation for several years. I played the Confederations Cup in 03, the Copa America in 04, the Confederations Cup in 05, the World Cup in 06, and the Copa America last year... …This year it’s the Olympics again.”

"You agreed? That's great, you, Ronaldinho and Kaka will definitely help us bring back an Olympic gold medal!" Dunga smiled, "Don't worry, there will be no competition next summer. If you are not recruited, you can give yourself a good vacation."

"Participating in the Olympics will affect my club's preparations. Boss, you have to negotiate with my club."

"No problem." Dunga said, patting his chest.

In the Real Madrid team, there are 3 people that Dunga wants to take to the Olympics.Marcelo, Ricardo and Kaka.

However, when it was actually working, it ran into trouble.

"Marcelo? No problem. Ricardo and Kaka? You can only choose one of the two."

This is Real Madrid's answer.

Dunga has no choice. The Olympic games are not international A-level games, and the club has every right not to let anyone go.

Ricardo and Kaka, in fact, Real Madrid do not want to let either.It was only because they all showed their willingness to participate in the Olympics that Real Madrid proposed a compromise: you go to one.

"Actually, I really want to go," Kaka complained to Ricardo on the phone, "I believe I will be able to lift the World Cup trophy once. I have also won the Champions League. Now I want to win it the most." Yes, it is the Olympic gold medal. If I miss this opportunity, I don’t know if I will have another opportunity in the future. I am already 12 years old in the 30 Olympic Games, so it may be difficult to choose me.”

"Then...you go, I won't go." Licado said hesitantly.

"The point is that Mr. Dunga wants you more!" Kaka shouted.

"Then you can't blame me."

"Let me tell you," Kaka said seriously, "you must bring me back the Olympic gold medal, otherwise I will never let you go!"

"Okay, okay, got it."

Dunga really wanted to take Licado more.

This has nothing to do with their age. There are 3 places for overage players in the Olympic Games. Dunga now decides to bring, and the club agrees to release only Ronaldinho and Thiago Silva for the time being. The places are completely enough. It doesn't matter if you add Kaka.

The main reason for choosing Ricardo instead of Kaka is that in Dunga's view, Ricardo is more charismatic and able to carry the team forward.As for Kaka, there is something lacking in this aspect.

Dunga is actively negotiating with the clubs and asking the clubs to release people to participate in the Olympics.

Ricardo continued to enjoy his vacation. In mid-July, Real Madrid had already started pre-match training, but Ricardo did not return to the team. He and Marcelo participated in the training of the Brazilian Olympic team.

Then at training camp, he saw a bald man he never expected to be here.

"Dadado, why are you here?"

"I'm here to participate in the Olympics. Why, can't I? I'm short of an Olympic gold medal in my honor." Ronaldo said with a smile.

"This... this is too bullying." Licado was speechless.

This is an Olympic competition, a competition for children under the age of 23.

You come to participate in this kind of competition, you really want to play kindergarten!
"Do you think you won't be a bully when you come to the Olympics?" Ronaldo asked.

Ricardo only felt deeply ashamed.

Soon Dunga announced the final 18-man roster of the Brazilian Olympic team.

Goalkeepers Diego Alves and Reina, defenders Marcelo, Ilcinho, Rafinha, Thiago Silva, Alex Silva, Bruno.

Midfielders Ronaldinho, Ramirez, Lucas Leiva, Anderson, Hernanez, Diego, Thiago Neves.

Forward Ricardo, Ronaldo, Pato.

After the list was announced, it really caused an uproar.

Chinese netizens commented one after another.

"Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Ricardo... don't look back, the Olympic football gold medal this time must belong to the Brazilian team."

"Dunga is too shameless! But I like it! You can see top stars in the Olympic Games!"

"Bringing a contemporary football champion and two Golden Globe winners to the Olympics, is the Brazilian team planning to break through the sky?"

"I'm wrong, not one contemporary football king, but three contemporary football kings. Ricardo and Ronaldinho are definitely worthy of the title of football king."

"Ricciardo deserves it, but Ronaldinho can't."

"This Brazilian team should learn to sing a song: Invincible is lonely."

"Don't be funny, do you think Brazil will win the championship? Argentina has Messi."

"Not only Messi, but Argentina has Riquelme, Aguero, Di Maria, Banega, Gago, Mascherano. They are very strong. It's really not necessarily a loss to Brazil."

"It's okay if you don't lose! Look at how Barcelona was abused by Real Madrid last season? Messi is not Ricciardo's opponent. As for the others, Ronaldo alone can blow it up!"

"Stunning, my big Brazil!"

"Let me ask weakly, don't you know that Brazil and our Olympic team are in the same group? You just want to see our Olympic team being brutally abused by Brazil?"

"Anyway, it is impossible for our Olympic team to win the gold. If you lose, you lose. As long as you see the wonderful performances of those stars, it will be worth the ticket price."

"That's right, and Ricardo is also half Chinese. Well, he can speak Chinese 6 times. Seeing him get the gold, it feels like we are getting the gold in China."

Amidst the clamor, the Brazilian Olympic team came to China and lived in the Olympic Village.
