The Day I Played with Ronaldo

The Brazil team almost copied the lineup of the second victory over Costa Rica, the only difference is that the teenager Maicon replaced the ups and downs of Mancini.

Under the eyes of everyone, the Brazilian team launched a fierce attack on Mexico at the beginning of the game.

They seem to want to prove to the whole world: We are not spicy chickens, we are not the second or third team of Brazil, we are an upright Brazilian team!

Not any second-rate or third-rate teams can provoke us and retreat unscathed!

In the 4th minute of the opening, Ricardo almost broke the goal with a long-range shot. Fortunately, the Mexican goalkeeper Sanchez focused and shot the ball out of the baseline.

Alex took the corner kick, Juan grabbed the front point and headed the goal 4 meters away from the goal. The football almost went into the net again, but at the last moment, Sanchez single-handedly fished it out in front of the goal line.

In the 8th minute, Adriano received a wonderful pass from Ricardo in the penalty area, volleyed with his left foot, and the football went slightly wide of the far post.

Two minutes later, the Brazilian team got another corner kick. This time, Adriano grabbed the header and went slightly wide.

Opening but 10 minutes, the Brazilian team has created several threats, so that Mexico coach Lavolpe sitting on pins and needles.

He felt that his comments before the game were not wrong. The Brazilian team's technology is indeed not as good as that of Argentina. But what he didn't expect was that the Brazilian team, which has always been known for its delicate skills, has repeatedly played high kicks today, using the header advantage to wreak havoc in Mexico's penalty area, making the Mexican team, which is underaverage in height, miserable.

Even if he clarifies the tactics of the Brazilian team, he has no good solution. After all, the lack of height of the Mexican players is an inherent disadvantage.

After stabilizing the ground, Mexico also played several counterattacks of good quality. But in the overall situation on the field, the Brazilian team still has the advantage. It is only a matter of time before Mexico concedes a goal, and everyone can see it.

Many reporters are already preparing questions in the press box for interviews after the game.

"Mr. Lavolpe, in this game, the Brazilian team clearly took the initiative and won easily. Does this reflect the difference in strength between the two teams?"

Or ask Pereira. "In your hands, Brazil's embarrassing record of five consecutive games against Mexico has ended. May I ask how you feel now?"

In the 18th minute, the Brazilian team played a cooperation on the left. Gustavo Neri and Edu made a one-two cooperation.

The latter made a pass near the bottom line, and the follow-up central defender Juan beat the Mexican defender with a header, slightly higher than the crossbar.

Three minutes later, it was still a similar routine. This time, the cross from Gustavo Neri was still passed to the back point. This time, the two from Sao Paulo successfully connected. The Mexican defender, with a diving header, bounced the ball to the ground, and Sanchez could do nothing.

1:0, Brazil took the lead.

"Goallll! Ricardo scored the first goal for the Brazilian team!" The Brazilian TV commentator shouted excitedly, "We know that the Brazilian team will score sooner or later. Judging from the situation on the field, the Brazilian team's offensive has always been dominant. There were many chances to score. But Ricardo's goal gave us a reassurance."

"Today's Brazil team is a completely different team from the last game. Today the boys showed high morale and tenacious fighting spirit. They fought hard for every goal, leaving Mexico almost powerless to fight back!"

The commentator gloated and said: "Before the game, Lavolpe also said that this Brazilian team is not as good as Argentina, not Mexico's opponent. Now let's see who is the clown."

After the goal, the Brazilian team was not satisfied and was still attacking. Four minutes later, they got another great opportunity. Ricardo dribbled on the right side of the penalty area, broke through the defense of Carmona and Davino of the Mexican team, knocked the ball across the goal, and Adriano rushed Seeing that, he pressed Marcos with his body and shot with his unaccustomed right foot. The football bypassed Sanchez's arm and hit the post to bounce off the bottom line, which caused a burst of sighs from the Brazilian fans at the scene.

Not long after, the Mexican midfielder Osorio was substituted due to injury, and Altamirano came off the bench. This passive substitution made Mexico worse. The midfielder was almost completely out of control and was often easily hit by the Brazilian team through the midfield. .

Before the end of the first half, the Brazilian team once again played a wonderful cooperation. Ricardo received Gustavo Neri's big foot transfer, stopped the ball in the chest, swayed Carmona, and passed the ball into the penalty area. Deriano jumped in at high speed, raised his leg and hit the ball, but Sanchez miraculously blocked the ball with his legs. But the football didn't fly far. Adriano followed up with the ball, preparing to pass Sanchez and hit an empty goal. In desperation, Sanchez threw Adriano down and received a penalty kick and a yellow card.

The players of the Mexican team quit. They surrounded the referee to ask for an explanation, thinking that Adriano's fall was too exaggerated and suspected of diving. The referee Luis was unmoved and insisted on the penalty. He was impatient with the Mexican players and showed Davino a yellow card warning, which made the Mexican players scatter.

Alex took the penalty kick, he kicked the ball firmly into the upper right corner of the goal, and Brazil led 2:0.

During the intermission, the players of the Brazilian team looked excited and relaxed. Pereira did not hesitate to praise: "You guys have done a good job, keep up the good work! In the second half we will continue this style of play, combine high and low, and kill them in one go!"

In the first half, Mexico only created a little threat through a few free kicks. It was not the opponent of the Brazilian team at all, and it was almost rubbed against the ground. If there is no miracle, Brazil will win easily, and even Mexico is in danger of collapse.

After the start of the second half, the Brazilian team continued to maintain an offensive, according to Pereira's instructions, often using high-altitude balls to bully the short Mexicans.

In the 47th minute, Adriano broke through and made a cross. His partner Ricardo shook his head and hit the goal. Unfortunately, he hit a bit straight and was resolved by Sanchez.

In the 52nd minute, Alex's corner kick allowed Juan to grab the point again, and his header broke Mexico's goal again.

The Brazilian team was preparing to celebrate, but the referee Luis blew his whistle to indicate that Juan was fouled when he jumped, and Mexico took a free kick.

Juan was very angry. He obviously pressed his teammate Edu to take off. Why did he make a foul? But at this time, the Brazilian team led by two goals, and the situation was very good. He did not want to conflict with the referee, and silently returned to his own half.

In the 55th minute, Alex took a corner kick, and Luisson nodded ahead and missed it slightly.

In the 58th minute, Riccardo used his personal skills to get rid of consecutively and broke into the penalty area. He pushed the far corner on the right side of the penalty area and hit the post again. He looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh. It seemed that he was unlucky today, so he had better concentrate on assisting.
