In this national team, there are 6 current teammates and former teammates of Ricardo's club.

This big list has caused little controversy in Brazil, and most of the people selected are popular.

Before reporting to the Brazilian national team, Ricardo formally submitted a transfer application to the club.

In an interview, he said: "I love Inter Milan deeply, but I can't continue to play in Serie A. In such a league, the referee arbitrarily deprives others of the championship, I cannot accept it."

Facchetti and Moratti took turns talking to Ricardo, hoping that he would change his mind and promised to change the club's situation immediately. Ricardo was moved, but he didn't immediately agree to stay.

A large number of Inter Milan fans gathered outside the club's training base, holding up placards: "Please stay, His Royal Highness!" "Don't leave us, Riccardo!"

Some fans even wrote to the club,

He threatened that if the club let Ricardo transfer, he would commit suicide.

Under such circumstances, Ricardo was forced to change his words in an interview and said: "I will seriously reconsider my choice."

The phone-gate scandal continues to ferment.

The Juventus official statement announced the collective resignation of the Juventus board of directors.

Problem referee DeSantis was disqualified from the World Cup. The investigation was carried out in an all-round way, and it was reported that many teams including AC Milan and Fiorentina were suspected of fake play, and Buffon was also involved in the gambling scandal.

Moggi announced his retirement from football. Soon the chairman of the Italian referee committee, Ranese, also dismissed get out of class sadly.

After Ricardo reported to the national team, he has been paying attention to the progress of the phone door. Almost like in another time and space.

Different from the storm that Italy is setting off, the Brazilian team is singing and laughing at this time.

On June 4th, the team played the last warm-up match. They beat New Zealand 5-0. Ronaldo scored twice, and Ricciardo, Ronaldinho and Kaka also scored goals.

After arriving in Germany, the star players of the Brazilian team attended various business activities every day, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

Is there a team in the world that can hold off a fantasy quintet? Truth be told, no.

So what else is there to worry about?

Everyone just came to Germany to play around and win a World Cup championship by the way.

Ball King Pele also said in an interview: "They (this national team) are stronger than us back then. I think they have great hopes of winning the world wave."

"Ronaldo has just won his second Champions League title against Barcelona. He is in great form. He is the best striker in the world. No team can completely defend him."

Pele's crow's mouth is a terrible thing, but even though he was fed poisonous milk by Pele, Ricardo still doesn't think the team has the possibility of overturning.

In another time and space, Brazil lost to France, and the Magic Quartet came to an abrupt end.

But the 30-year-old Ronaldo is completely incomparable with the 30-year-old Ronaldo in this time and space.

That Ronaldo has been completely reduced to an opportunistic striker, and he is no longer the number one in the world.

And this Ronaldo, although his physical fitness has declined, his speed is still there, his impact is still there, and he has a wealth of experience. No one can deny his title as the number one in the world.

And in this time and space, the Brazilian team also has more of themselves. Ricardo didn't want to underestimate himself, anyway, he is also a world-class player now.

Take a look at the main lineup of the Brazilian team.

Ronaldo at the top of the ball. The world's top Ronaldinho. World-class Adriano, himself, Kaka, Emerson, Roberto Carlos, Cafu, Lucio, plus intercontinental Ze Roberto, Dida...

Who can resist!

How could you lose!

So he himself relaxed, just waiting to lie down and win a championship under the leadership of Ronaldo. He took a lot of commercials, attended several events, and made a lot of money.

The World Cup is a festival for players to make money.

It is also a carnival day for fans all over the world.

Countless fans flocked to Germany, wanting to see their idols with their own eyes.

For Licado, what is more special is that he accepted an exclusive interview with CCTV Sports Channel, spoke fluent Chinese, skillfully quoted scriptures, and used various idioms, which stunned the reporters.

In the interview, he also issued a championship declaration: "Our goal is only one, and that is the championship. We do not accept any results other than the championship."

The Brazilian team was divided into Group F, and on June 14, it ushered in the group's first opponent, Croatia.

Croatia is by no means a weak team. Although Suk and Boban of the 1998 World Cup third place team are old, but now there are Kovac, Tudor, fm famous monster Srna in the defense, and Modri ​​in the midfield Odd, the striker has Klashnic, Olic and other famous players, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

The Brazilian team also paid more attention to their opponents. Pereira did not use the magic quintet easily, but used Ronaldo and Ricardo's striker, Ronaldinho and Kaka's double midfielder, Ze Robert, Emer In Mori's double midfielder, Adriano, who was in poor condition, sat on the sidelines.

Croatia formed a 3412 formation. The son of coach Kranica Jr. played the midfielder, and Pursau and Klasnic from the Glasgow Rangers partnered up front.

Croatia's defense against Ronaldo was very tight and the formation was kept very compact. Although the Brazilian team gained the field advantage, there were not many opportunities for real threats in the first few minutes.

Until the 11th minute, Dida threw the ball in his hand and counterattacked. After Ronaldinho drove straight in from the left, he stuffed the ball at the feet of Riccardo.

Ricardo took a step into the penalty area, but found that there was no chance, he didn't take credit for it, but cleverly knocked back with his heel, Kaka followed up with a long shot and almost broke the goal.

The commentator also praised: "The golden partners of the Sao Paulo period still have a good understanding. Ricardo's back-heel pass is pleasing to the eye, and Kaka's long-range shooting skills are gradually perfected."

Croatia is exhausted. There are Ronaldo and Ronaldinho on the left, and Roberto Carlos who put in an assist; Ricardo, Kaka, and Cafu are on the right. They dare not ignore the defense on either side.

In the 14th minute, after Ricardo and Kaka cooperated several times and attracted the attention of Croatia, Ricardo suddenly shifted the ball to the left. Ronaldinho did not stop the ball and directly stuffed it into the penalty area. Ronaldo also He didn't stop the ball, just adjusted his posture and volleyed. The angle was very tricky, but the Croatian goalkeeper Pletikosa reacted quickly and saved the ball sideways.
