The Day I Played with Ronaldo

There are only three rounds left in the Brazilian National Championship.

Sao Paulo's last three opponents are: Victoria at home, Paisandu away, and Gama away.

Three opponents, three underdogs. Among them, Victoria and Paysandu have no worries about relegation, no hope for the playoffs, and are far away from qualifying for the South American Cup.

And Jia Ma has been deeply trapped in the relegation zone, and it is impossible to get out. This team has lost its energy.

So in these three games, Sao Paulo can say that it is difficult to lose.

But in order to have a better position in the playoffs, Osvaldo still wants to grab points with all his strength.

In the game against Vitoria, all the main players were in battle except for Ricardo and the injured Simplicio.

At the press conference before the game, some reporters questioned this. Osvaldo explained that Ricardo's injury had not healed, so he was not allowed to start for the sake of insurance.

In fact, Ricardo sat on the bench for 90 minutes and witnessed the team's 3:0 victory over the opponent.

He also cheered and celebrated when his teammates scored goals. He was also nervous when Victoria launched a threatening attack. Same with other bench players.

He knows very well that the cameras on the scene will find him from time to time and capture his expression. If he showed dissatisfaction, or behaved differently from everyone else, the media would make a big fuss after the game.

He didn't want this small conflict between himself and Osvaldo to be known to the world, and it was best to kill the conflict in its infancy.

After the game, when he and Ricko walked towards the player tunnel, they were stopped by reporters on the sidelines as expected.

"May I ask why you didn't play in today's game?"

Ricardo smiled slightly: "Osvaldo has already explained that my injury has not healed yet, and he asked me to continue to rest for this game."

"Are you seriously injured?"

"It's not serious, it's just a little muscle strain, it'll be fine soon."

"What do you think of this game?"

"Victoria is a strong opponent. I am very happy that we have won at home and moved up to second place in the ranking. This is one step closer to our goal."

"Kaka scored a hat-trick in this game, the first hat-trick of his career, and it also allowed him to surpass you in the scorer list. What do you think about that?"

Ricardo answered easily: "Kaka is a very talented player and he is in good form. I am not surprised that he can score a hat-trick. I am happy for him. As for the scorer list, I have never Take it to heart, as long as the team wins."

This answer is very decent, and the reporter can't find any place to make use of it.

However, this game is not the focus of this round of media attention. Even the news that the giants Palmeiras lost again and booked a relegation spot in advance could not make the headlines.

The major sports media are all focused on the same thing: Scolari's resignation.

The meritorious coach Scolari, who led the Brazil team to win the 2002 World Cup, announced his resignation as the head coach of the national team.

For Scolari, he retired bravely, but for Brazil as a whole, who will lead them to defend the 2006 World Cup has become a hot topic among the people.

The names of several coaches were frequently mentioned. Among them, the most vocal one is now Corinthians coach Pereira, the meritorious coach who once led Brazil to win the World Cup in 1994.

However, Pereira was rather vague in the interview, neither expressly agreeing nor expressly rejecting: "I will seriously consider it, but at the moment my focus is on Corinthians, and I hope to lead this team. Get some credit."

The so-called honor, of course, refers to the championship trophy of the Brazilian National Championship this season.

Then it is certain that, at least until the end of this season, he will not take over the position of head coach of the national team.

When the outside world is discussing the candidates for Brazil's head coach, Ricardo is in the studio, accepting the makeup artist's fiddling.

He didn't hesitate, he was used to this process. Although he was only a national-level star in his previous life, he still filmed quite a few commercials.

"Okay, perfect!" The female makeup artist in her thirties stopped, took a few steps back, and admired her work with a satisfied expression.

"You're handsome in yourself, Licado, which makes my job a lot easier," she said with a smile, "After this ad is broadcast, your female fans will definitely increase a lot."

"Thank you for your skill." Licado smiled politely. He looked at himself in the mirror, his skin itself was very handsome, almost on the same level as Kaka, except that Kaka's skin was whiter, and he had a sculptural beauty; and his face It has more Asian characteristics, although the skin is not so fair, it is more delicate, and the facial features are softer.

And under the wonderful hands of the makeup artist, he looks a little older than his real age at this moment. He looks like he is in his 20s.

For example, the girl who just walked in stared straight at Licado, and sighed vaguely, "Hello, Layfon, we meet again!"

Licado smiled: "Sorry, that was just a joke. Nice to see you again, Miss Ambrosio."

"I accept your apology. But please call me Alessandra, that's what my friends call me." Ambrosio nodded and smiled, the well-tailored clothes made her figure so attractive, and the whole studio They all seem to become dazzling with her appearance.

Riccardo stood up. Ambrosio was wearing high heels and was almost as tall as him. He looked into Ambrosio's eyes and said, "Are you a Sao Paulo fan?"

"No, no," Ambrosio said with a smile, "I'm just your fan."

"That's a coincidence," Licado said with a smile, "I have always hung your poster in my room."

"Really?" Ambrosio said happily, "but why did you pretend you didn't know me that day?"

Licado shrugged, "I can't believe that the fairy in the painting just appeared in front of me."

This compliment undoubtedly made Ambrosio happy. She pursed her lips and smiled: "I can't believe that I have the opportunity to shoot commercials with the god-given son of St. Paul."

"Son bestowed by God?" Ricardo frowned.

"This is what I heard from the fans around me when I was watching the game. The fans in Sao Paulo have given you a new nickname, don't you know?"

"It's the first time I've heard of it."

Chatting quickly shortened the distance between the two, and they didn't stop talking until the camera equipment and lighting were ready and the director came to explain the script to them.

But even while listening to the director's narration, Ambrosio would throw a charming look at Riccardo from time to time.

Maybe it's her habitual action, or maybe...
