The Day I Played with Ronaldo

Chapter 372: After the game

Pereira attended the press conference with a flushed face.

If he just won normally, he probably wouldn't be in such a good mood.

However, the team fell behind twice, equalized twice, and finally came back to win. During such an ups and downs and soul-stirring game, he once thought that the team had lost hope of advancing, but in the end he had a sweet fruit.

So now he seems to have drunk too much old wine, and his steps are floating.

"The French team played very well today and created more problems than I imagined," Pereira said, "especially Zidane, he is a great player, I used to think he was 34 years old , the state must have slipped a lot, but he gave me a blow to the head. He is very amazing!"

"We did a lot of preparations before the game, but we still underestimated the strength of the French team, which caused the team to fall behind twice. This is my responsibility," Pereira admitted his mistake, "Without Ronaldo, the football The team was affected more than expected. I'm not saying Ricardo and Adriano aren't great, but they're a different type of player than Ronaldo."

"I'm very happy with Ricardo's game tonight. He's just turned 20 and he can lead the team to two or three more World Cups. He's a gem for Brazil. Adriano is also very good, although He didn't score, but he did his tactical duty and contributed to the team."

"I chose Juninho to start because he played in Ligue 1, he is familiar with French players, and he has the quality to gain a foothold in this Brazilian team. He was replaced at half-time because of the football. There was a change in tactics and I needed a stronger man up front, so I dropped Ronaldinho and brought in Adriano."

"Why not Robinho? Edmilson? Ricardinho did not live up to my expectations. The cooperation between him, Kaka and Ricardo is still very tacit, which is why I let him play. .It turns out I made the right choice."

"The process of the game was thrilling. I thought we would be eliminated at one point. But the boys played well to get us through. Thank God and thank you guys for their hard work."

When it was Domenech's turn to speak, his words were full of regret.

"Congratulations to Brazil for qualifying, they played well and they deserved to be in the semi-finals. We also played well but made a mistake at the end."

"Ricciardo was brilliant, I don't know how to describe him. When he scored the penalty in the 88th minute, I thought I saw Pele back on the pitch."

"The penalty? Nothing to say. I respect the referee's decision. Some of the decisions in this game were not good for us, but this is football. I don't think the referee is targeting us. Misjudgments are also part of football." Everyone listened From his resentment, it is clear that he is not convinced by the loss to Brazil.

"Zidane played a great game and it would have been better if we won in the end. It's a pity to hear that he's retiring and I'll try to persuade him to change his decision. He's perfectly fine for another 10 years! He's Great players to play alongside Ronaldo, unstoppable talents on the pitch."

"Frankly, if Ronaldo had been on the pitch today, we would have lost a lot worse. He is a real miracle. Ricciardo is not yet at his level."

Although he did not explicitly say that he would resign, Domenech has also expressed his intention to leave. "Obviously my preparations were lacking and I didn't take this French team to the level they deserved. I'm sorry for that. We deserved to be in the final and great players like Zidane and Thierry Henry deserved it. Appearing in the final."

Although the game ended, it left too much for people to talk about.

The wonderful performance of Ricardo and Zidane,

A collision between two generations.

Pereira's magical substitution changed the direction of the game.

Three Ricardos played at the same time and made great achievements for the team.

The 20-year-old Ricardo has performed so strongly, scoring three goals and assisting three times in three games, like a god descending from heaven, is it possible for him to win this year's Ballon d'Or?

Ronaldinho is no longer miraculous. Although he scored a penalty kick and had a few bright spots in the game, his overall performance was relatively mediocre. When will this Mr. Golden Ball get back to his form?

The 24-year-old Adriano behaved like a 30-year-old man, tired and out of shape. Once hailed as Ronaldo's successor, how long will it take for him to mature and truly take over Ronaldo's class?

Kaka still has an excellent performance, is he Brazil's next World Footballer?

For the French team, Zidane, Vieira, and Thuram are all getting old, and Henry and Trezeguet are also standing close together. They will almost certainly not be able to participate in the next World Cup. Who in the French team can take their guns?

Ribery's performance is remarkable. Can he become Zidane's successor and become the core of the French team for the next ten years?

The talent of the French team has broken down. Who should bear the blame?

In the next World Cup, regardless of Ronaldo, Ronaldinho is only 30 years old, Kaka and Adriano are only 28 years old, and Ricardo is only 24 years old. They will all be at their peak. If they meet again, the French team Can anyone compete with them?

There are too many things that can be discussed in the media.

And compared to the game between Germany and Argentina the night before, this game was more dramatic and the scene was more exciting.

The media generally believe that if the German team runs into one of the Brazilian and French teams, it will be bad luck.

But the German team's opponent in the next game is Italy. The German media seems to be more optimistic. The Serie A league is caught in the Calciopoli scandal, and the core players of this Italian team are mainly from Juventus and AC Milan, the two teams that have been vigorously criticized in Calciopoli.

The German media believes that the players of the Italian team will definitely be affected to a certain extent and will not be able to exert their maximum capabilities.

The offensive ability of this Italian team has also been criticized. Up to now, they have not played a crushing victory, and they have not shown the demeanor of a strong team. It feels like they have been stumbling through.

By most accounts, the final will be between Germany and Brazil.

And will the German team be Brazil's opponent?

Klose is in excellent form, Ballack is at his peak, Schweinsteiger, Frings, Schneider, Ram, Huth, Mertesacker are also enjoying the best time of their careers, they are eager to Want to avenge the two arrows in the 2002 World Cup final, can they beat Brazil with the magic quartet?
