The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Chapter 168: Leonardo

After returning to Sao Paulo, Ricardo, Ricardinho, and Fabiano did not have time to take a good rest, so they devoted themselves to closed training.

Sao Paulo, who fell behind by two goals in the first round, wanted to get back at home, and it was not so difficult.

The Boca Juniors team, which already has 4 Copa Libertadores champions, has more experience in this competition than Sao Paulo. They won the championship in 2000 and 2001, and the team that won the championship that year generally maintained Complete, the famous coach Bianchi who led them to one victory after another is still in place.

Their frontcourt tridents Xieluoto, Delgado and Tevez are currently in good condition. Delgado has scored 12 goals in the Copa Libertadores, temporarily ranking first in the scorer list, while Ricardo It is second with 11 goals.

Of course, Ricardo participated in 5 games less than him, but this also shows how hot Delgado is in his current state.

Although Xieluoto, who has been selected for the Argentine national team 10 times, is not a big-name star, his style is unpretentious and he is in his prime. He is a very competent role player.

As for Tevez, although he is only 19, he is considered by many to be Maradona's heir - although his style bears no resemblance to Maradona's. His popularity in Argentina is no less than that of Ricardo and Kaka in Brazil.

In these two days of training, Rojas focused on arranging for the team to practice set-pieces and positional attacks.

It is conceivable that Boca Juniors, with two goals in hand, will never play against Sao Paulo in the away game, they will only play defensively and counterattack comfortably.

So for Sao Paulo, there must be no rush to press aggressively, and it must be safe and secure to prevent the opponent from sneaking.

If Sao Paulo failed to score first, but was counterattacked by Boca Juniors first, the suspense of that round would basically be lost.

The set piece is also very important, which is a powerful weapon to break the dense defense.

In addition, Kaka, Riccardo and Ricardinho also have more long-range shooting training programs, which is also to deal with the intensive defense that may appear in the next game.

Considering that there is going to be a tough battle, and that the players in the double match a week are already physically weak, Rojas reduced the intensity of training.

But Riccardo still practiced at his own pace.

At night, he was exhausted, so he got into Rico's broken car and returned to his residence. He has never had time to take the driver's license test, so buying a car is not on the agenda.

Regarding the car, he has a bold idea. If Sao Paulo can achieve a reversal in the game on July 2, defeating Boca Juniors to win the Copa Libertadores, then at the end of the year, they will be able to represent the Americas in the last Toyota Cup.

The opponent is naturally the new European champion AC Milan.

If you can be named the man of the game in the Toyota Cup competition, you can get a car sponsored by Toyota.

How nice it is not to have to buy a car with your own money.

At that time, as long as you take the driver's license test during the holidays, you can drive a new car for a ride.

Of course it all went well. First of all, start with a home win over Boca Juniors by more than two goals.

"I heard from Louis," Ricko said as he steered the steering wheel, "Have you had sex with Ambrosio? I envy you, a man with a lot of sex."

Licado chuckled lightly and said, "If you can score in the game the day after tomorrow, you may have the opportunity to climb into Gisele Bundchen's bed in the future. What's the use of being envious of me, you might as well train hard."

Riko smacked his lips, "Why do you always make sense when you speak."

"That's because I'm good at making chicken soup." Licado said solemnly.

Riko blinked, obviously not understanding how this topic has anything to do with cooking chicken soup.

Talking and laughing all the way, when they arrived in the house, the two were busy with their own things. Licado continued to use fitness equipment to exercise his upper body strength,

Rico played live.

At this moment, the doorbell rang, Riko put down the handle and walked over to open the door, only to see two people standing at the door, one was Kaka, the other was a handsome middle-aged man. There was a short bluish stubble on the man's chin, he was not too tall, he seemed to be only about 1.7 meters, he had a shrewd look and a chic smile.

For some reason, Rico always felt that this middle-aged man looked very familiar.

"Hi," Kaka smiled shyly, "good evening, is Licado there?"

"Exercising inside," Riko nodded, leading them in, thinking, who is this Zhongnan man?

Suddenly he yelled: "Mr. Leonardo!"

The visitor is the hero of the Brazil team winning the World Cup in the United States in 1994, the famous Milan star Leonardo!

Leonardo smiled at him: "Hello, Riko."

"You know me!" Riko was so excited that his voice trembled a little.

"Of course," Leonardo laughed, "You've been performing well recently, and it's hard not to know you."

Rico naturally wouldn't take Leonardo's words seriously. He is very clear that he has just gained a firm foothold in Sao Paulo, and even Sao Paulo fans may not know him.

At this time Ricardo was already sweating profusely, his hair was plastered on his forehead obediently, and he greeted Leonardo with a calm demeanor: "Hello, Mr. Leonardo. Kaka, sit down wherever you want."

Kaka and Leonardo sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"Coffee or tea?" Licardo asked.

"Thank you, clear water is fine." Kaka said.

"Same."

Ricardo was not surprised. Athletes seldom drink coffee or tea for a long time, especially coffee. Although drinking a small amount is said to have anti-cancer effects, long-term drinking in large quantities will lead to increased blood pressure and loss of calcium, which is the enemy of athletes.

Licado went to bring them two glasses of purified water, sat down opposite Kaka, and quietly waited for the other party to speak.

Kaka was obviously a little cramped, looked at Ricardo, then at Leonardo, hesitant to speak.

Leonardo was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "Ricardo, your performance in the Confederations Cup this time is very exciting, and many European giants have noticed you."

Li Carduo nodded: "Thank you, but I know I still have a lot of shortcomings."

"Don't be modest," Leonardo said, "I took the liberty of visiting today to ask you, are you interested in playing football in Europe?"

"Of course," Ricardo said without hesitation, "as long as there is a chance."

"There are always opportunities," Leonardo said meaningfully, "How much do you know about AC Milan?"

"I think I know enough about AC Milan. This is a great team, and countless stars are eager to play for it." From the moment Leonardo entered the goal, Ricardo guessed his intention, It was more certain now. He laughed, "But I don't consider joining AC Milan for the time being."

He said so bluntly, Leonardo could only swallow back the words in his stomach, and said with a sullen smile: "Well, I understand. But there is still a year before you can go to Europe, think about it, okay? Don't rush to conclusions."
