The Day I Played with Ronaldo

On the 12th, at 8:00 p.m., the Olympic Stadium in Tianhe District, GZ City, the stands with a capacity of 80,000 people were packed. Even rumors of infectious diseases could not dampen the enthusiasm of the fans.

Outside the stadium, there are still many fans who have not bought tickets, holding homemade cards that "ask for tickets at a high price", looking forward pitifully.

If it is just an ordinary national team game, it is estimated that it will be difficult to attract so many fans to the scene.

But tonight, the opponent of the Chinese team is the five-star Brazil, which has just won the fifth Hercules Cup. It has world-famous superstars such as Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Rivaldo, and another one who is only 16 years old and 235 days old. A young genius with half Chinese blood.

Moreover, this young genius is likely to break the record of the youngest appearance and the youngest goal of the Brazilian national team held by the football king Pele, which is incredible!

Last year, the high-spirited Chinese team entered the World Cup finals for the first time under the leadership of the old man Milu. Countless Chinese fans looked forward to it and had high hopes for this national team. Draw with Turkey, beat Costa Rica, squeeze out Turkey with a goal difference advantage, and qualify as second in the group" This kind of dream.

However, the Chinese team lost all three games in the World Cup group stage, swallowed 9 shots and failed to score a single goal.

The bloody reality poured cold water on the fans, and made them realize the gap between Chinese football and the world's advanced level.

Negative comments and pessimistic views on Chinese football became popular for a while. "Chinese people are not suitable for playing football. The Bundesliga, La Liga, Premier League" and other remarks are rampant, and even the ball market of the Chinese League A is getting more and more bleak.

At this time, a star with half Chinese blood was selected into the Brazilian national team, which undoubtedly gave fans who love Chinese football a shot in the arm.

Although Ricardo played well, it has nothing to do with the Chinese team, but at least Ricardo's success proved that the Chinese can also play football well.

So before the game started, the fans at the scene excitedly shouted the names of the stars on the field. Among them, the one who was called the most was not Ronaldo or a player of the Chinese team, but Ricardo.

"So you are so popular in China!" Standing in the player tunnel, Ronaldo smiled at Ricardo beside him.

"I'm actually more popular in Sao Paulo."

"I really want to see you standing next to me in a blue and black arrow shirt and being called by tens of thousands of fans." Ronaldo sighed.

"There will be that day, definitely." Ricardo said confidently.

The players of the Chinese team appeared on the other side of the player tunnel, and several Chinese players greeted Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos and other big names in a friendly manner.

But firstly, the voice is different, and secondly, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, etc. are still a bit reserved, and the two sides have not communicated much.

Soon someone cast their curious eyes on Ricardo.

"I heard you can speak Chinese?" an abrupt voice sounded.

Ricardo followed his prestige, and what he was talking about was Sun Zihai, one of the biggest stars in China at this time. With his outstanding performance in the World Cup, he was called up by Premier League Manchester City.

At this moment, Sun Jiehai looked like a curious baby, his face brimming with the self-confidence of a young man.

He is one year younger than Ronaldo, and he is only 25 years old now, which is the most energetic age.

Li Kaduo replied in standard Mandarin Chinese: "Hello, Brother Sun."

Sun Zihai stared wide-eyed, with a ghostly expression on his face: "You... hello!"

Licado smiled: "Why are you so surprised, do I not look like a Chinese?"

Sun Zihai looked him up and down: "It's really quite similar,

However, the characteristics of foreigners can still be clearly seen. "

"To be honest, I think you look quite foreign." Ricardo said seriously.

Sun Zihai was amused: "That's true. In your eyes, I am indeed a foreigner. There is no problem with this logic."

After laughing, Sun Zihai blessed: "Play well, I hope you can break the record."

"Whether I can play or not is another matter," Licado shrugged, "Brother Sun is the main force today."

"I played left midfielder today. I remember your habitual position is left winger? I guess we won't meet on the field today."

"That's hard to say. In fact, I can play in all positions in the frontcourt. It depends on how the head coach arranges it." Ricardo said vaguely.

At this time they had already arrived in the stadium, the two nodded their goodbyes to each other, and Ricardo walked to the Brazilian team's bench.

Yes, he didn't start today. In the star-studded Brazil team, with his current strength, he is not enough to start.

Brazil's lineup today is 4231. The goalkeeper Dida, the defenders are Roberto Carlos, Anderson Polgar, Luizon and Cafu. Berto, a little further ahead are three "No. 10" players, Ze Robert is on the left, Rivaldo is on the right, Ronaldinho is in the center, and Ronaldo is at the front.

The lineup of the Chinese team is also 4231, but the position of the three players in front of the midfielder is wider and deeper. The goalkeeper is Liu Yunfei, the defenders are Yang Pu, Zheng Zhi, Li Weifeng and Wei Xin, and the double midfielders Zhao Junzhe and Li Tie , the front waist Qi Hong, Sun Zihai and Li Xiaopeng are separated on the left and right, and Li Yi is at the front.

It can also be seen from the personnel arrangement that the newly appointed Chinese team coach Ali Han's tactics are mainly defensive, ensuring that he does not concede too many goals in front of more than one billion viewers across the country, at least not repeating the 0:4 fiasco.

In fact, he thought too much. No one in the Brazilian team, from Pereira to ordinary substitute players, took this game seriously. Except for a few fringe players gearing up, the rest only took this game The competition is an opportunity to travel to China.

After the start of the game, the Brazilian team firmly took the initiative on the field, but they did not rush to attack, they slowed down the rhythm very slowly, and the frequency of showing off skills was quite high, even if they hit the penalty area, they were not in a hurry Instead of shooting slowly, he backed down slowly.

If the guiding ideology of the Chinese team is "defense", then the guiding ideology of the Brazilian team is "playing".

They received money to play this game, so naturally they didn't want to embarrass the hosts too much, so all the main players appeared on the stage; but it is of course impossible to fight with all their strength for a show-like game. There will be a risk of injury. After all, most of the members of this Brazilian team come from the giants of the five major European leagues, and the five major leagues and the Champions League are in full swing.

But they have to be worthy of the high appearance fee, so they simply "play" and show off their skills. As long as they play well, no one can blame them.
