The Day I Played with Ronaldo

In the player tunnel, players from Sao Paulo and Boca Juniors met each other. No one spoke, no friendly greeting.

The two sides are mortal enemies, so don't be hypocritical.

The Brazilians have never regarded the Uruguayans as their mortal enemies. Although they were robbed of a world championship by Uruguay, the proud Brazilians never considered Uruguay as their opponent; even though they were robbed by the French team in the 1998 World Cup, the Brazilians did not regard France as such. As a sworn enemy, France does not have this qualification.

Only Argentina, the country that can threaten its dominance in South American football; The scattered country is the eternal enemy of Brazil.

Fortunately, since entering the 1990s, Brazilian football has suppressed Argentine football in all aspects.

National team level matches, World Cup and Copa America records; club level matches, Copa Libertadores and Common Market Cup matches are dominated by Brazilian teams.

From 1990 to 2003, the Brazilian team entered the World Cup finals 3 times and won 2 championships, while Argentina only entered the final once; in the Copa America, since 1989, the Brazilian team entered 5 finals and won 3 championships, while Argentina only entered the final The two finals, but both won the championship; the Copa Libertadores, since 1990, the Brazilian team has won 6 championships from Sao Paulo, Gremio, Cruzeiro, Vasco da Gama, and Palmeiras. It was Sarsfield, River Plate and Boca who won 4 crowns respectively.

And today, Sao Paulo wants to crush Boca Juniors' dream of 3 championships in 4 years, and let the Copa Libertadores fall back into the pocket of the Brazilian team again!

When players from both sides entered the field to shake hands, take pictures, and guess coins, Boca Juniors coach Bianchi was whispering to his assistant coach Viglio.

"You have to pay attention to Ricardo and Kaka later, and give me a detailed analysis report during the intermission."

Viglio nodded again and again: "Okay, I will pay attention." After a pause, he asked doubtfully, "Is it necessary to care about them so much?"

"The media can belittle them, they can ridicule them. We would be foolish to belittle them. Especially Ricciardo," Bianchi said. "To be the top scorer in the Confederations Cup at the age of 17, he Better than Carlos (Tevez). Is the Brazilian team weaker than Argentina? Not necessarily. The 17-year-old Ricardo can be selected for the Brazilian team, and Carlos has not yet been selected for the Argentine national team."

Viglio shook his head and said: "Carlos is also very good. I don't think he will be worse than Ricardo, he just lacks a little opportunity."

"The game will prove everything," Bianchi said very gently to his old partner, "In short, you pay attention to them, their running routes, their technical moves, the frequency of their participation in defense, their offensive tendencies... ...all to my attention."

Viglio nodded and did not speak again.

Players from both sides are already standing in their respective positions, bouncing around, waiting for the game to start.

The camera at the scene scanned the stands and stopped on the faces of some important people.

At the VIP table, the chairman of Boca Juniors, Macari; the chairman of Sao Paulo, Gavia, and his assistant, Juventio, who replaced Lecco as the new sports director of Sao Paulo; AC Milan giants Galliani and Leonardo, They are obviously here to make a final inspection of Kaka; Butragueno, one of the former Real Madrid five eagles from Real Madrid; Rummenigge and chief scout Schwarzbeck from Bayern; the ball from Inter Milan Exploration and transfer consultant Oriali and Da Baresi.

As the final of the highest competition for South American clubs, it deserves so much attention.

In a corner of the stands, Ambrosio was wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker, hiding himself in the crowd; little loli Yang Jingyu, Yang Rui, and Yang Fan all painted small tricolor flags on their faces,

Holding a Sao Paulo scarf in his hand, he jumped and sang with the fans around him.

The Morombi Stadium, which can accommodate 80,000 fans, was almost full today, and many fans from Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos also poured into the scene today to cheer for Sao Paulo, because this game has to defend more than just The honor of Sao Paulo, but also the honor of the entire Brazilian football!

The main colors of red, white and black permeated every corner of the stadium. The fans beat gongs and drums, stomped their feet and clapped their hands, making this building with a history of more than 40 years tremble.

Amid the din, the referee blew his whistle and the game began!

Sao Paulo, who kicked off first, hit the ball to the backcourt and organized patiently. Although in this game, they need to win more than 2 goals, but they can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, they must play according to the rhythm they are good at!

Rojas lined up a 4231 formation for Sao Paulo. The difference from the past is that Kaka was moved to the right, and Ricardinho took the position of the attacking midfielder. Alejandro was suspended for accumulating yellow cards, and the double defensive midfielder adopted the combination of Ferreira and Gian; the teenager Julio Santos and Lugano partnered as a central defender; Gustavo Neri was injured, and Simplicio Accumulated yellow cards suspended, so by the teenagers Fabiano and Gabriel respectively served as the left and right back.

This is not Sao Paulo's strongest lineup, but it is also the best combination available at this stage.

Moreover, Sao Paulo fans believe that as long as the tridents are on the field, they can bring Sao Paulo one victory after another!

Boca Juniors did not shrink back to defend. Their three forwards launched a frontcourt press, and the midfielders also defended quite toughly. They did not intend to let Sao Paulo pass easily.

In just 5 minutes of the game, Kania brought down Ricardinho with a tackle and received a yellow card. This also indicates the intensity of this game.

In the 6th minute, Sao Paulo got the first chance. Ricardinho distributed the ball to the right, Kaka took the ball and broke through unreasonably, and made a cross from the bottom line. Fabiano and Schiavi in ​​the middle took off at the same time, neither of them touched the ball, and the football spun to the back point.

At this time, Ricardo showed the effect of his training in the past year. He firmly stuck Burdisso behind him, raised his leg to meet the ball and shot angrily! The football was higher than the crossbar, which made the fans sigh.

However, the referee pointed his finger at the corner area. He believed that the ball hit the bottom line on the back of Corosa who jumped up to block.

Ricardinho's corner kick was too close to the keeper and Abbondan Shirley jumped up to confiscate it.

Abundan Cheri immediately launched a fast attack by throwing the ball. Tevez stopped the ball, turned around and took two steps, and immediately handed it to Xieluoto who ran to the side.
