The Day I Played with Ronaldo

As a striker, I am only willing to play as a substitute for one person, and he is Ronaldo. — Owen

When Ricardo put on his coat and walked out of the gate of the training base, it was already almost completely dark. He was walking on the sidewalk, lowering his head and recalling some of the new tactical changes that Osvaldo talked about in today's training. Suddenly, a person next to him jumped out and shouted: "Ricardo!"

Ricardo took a step back in fright, and took a closer look with the light of the street lamp, but she was a little girl of mixed race. Although she was quite tall, her face was still childish, and she was only 11 or 2 years old. She is pink and jade-carved, as cute as a porcelain doll, wearing a pink dress, and her long hair is fixed with a beautiful pink headband.

Ricardo found her a bit familiar, and after thinking about it, he remembered, isn't this the little girl who called "Licardo, I love you" to him at the training ground that day?

He smiled and said, "Hello."

The little girl's sweet voice seemed a little excited: "I'm your fan, Licado! Can you sign me?" As she spoke, she conjured up a notebook with a beautiful cover and a pen.

This is the first fan in my life, right? Ricardo was also very happy, and smiled slightly: "Okay." He took the notebook and opened it, only to see that many pages in it had already been signed by the stars. Ann's players also signed it.

"So you're so bothered!" Licado joked.

"No!" The little girl hurriedly argued, "I treat you differently! Really! I'm your big fan!"

I have only played a few games and have never made a debut. How can I have die-hard fans? Li Cardo laughed it off. Girls of this age like the new and dislike the old the most. Maybe they will become other people's die-hard fans in a few days. He propped up the notebook with his left hand, and was about to sign with his right hand, and felt that he should write a sentence or two, so he asked, "Your name?"

"Olivia!" After saying the name, the little girl immediately switched to Chinese with a slightly weird pronunciation, "Chinese name is Yang Jingyu."

Licado was really shocked: "Are you Chinese?"

"Yeah! My father is Chinese, he worked in Brazil, got married here, and then I was born." Olivia smiled proudly, "I know, your mother is Chinese, right?"

"That's right."

"So we are destined." Olivia switched to Portuguese again, "How about I be your girlfriend?"

Li Kaduo shook his hands, the children nowadays are really amazing, how old do they want to be in love? He glanced at Olivia and said with a smile: "In the future, I don't want to find a girlfriend yet."

"Really?" Olivia clearly expressed disappointment on her face, "Then when you want to find a girlfriend, remember to find me, okay?"

"Good!" Licado said with a smile.

"That's a deal!" A smile climbed onto Olivia's delicate face again.

Li Kaduo quickly wrote down a sentence in Chinese in his notebook: "I wish Yang Jingyu a happy life every day and grow up healthily. Li Kaduo."

Olivia happily took the notebook, glanced at it, and her small face suddenly collapsed: "I'm not a child! Re-write, this won't work!" She tore up that page, and put the notebook back into it coquettishly. Return it to Licado.

Well, not children... "I wish Yang Jingyu more and more beautiful, Li Kaduo."

Olivia impatiently leaned over to take a look, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Ricardo."

"You're welcome." Licado handed over both the notebook and the pen.

After receiving it, Olivia hesitated: "How should I express my gratitude? How about I give you a kiss?"

Ricardo waved his hands in fright: "No need, next time you come to watch my game live, just cheer me on."

"Okay, Sao Paulo vs. Fluminense the day after tomorrow,

I must ask my father to take me to see it live. "Olivia looked like she knew a lot about football.

"Well, I'm too tired today, I'm going back to rest, see you another day!"

"Okay, goodbye!" Olivia seemed a little reluctant, but she still let Licado leave reasonably.

After walking a long distance, when Ricardo looked back, Olivia was still waving at him.

...

The next day, Osvaldo played closed training and drove all the fans and reporters out of the Brafunda training base.

"Today, we try a new formation," Osvaldo said after returning to the training ground, "let's play an intra-team match."

Players, you look at me, I look at you, it is very strange that Osvaldo has to make such a big adjustment when the game is approaching.

Osvaldo was also helpless. Yesterday, the club chairman, Goviardi, approached him for a talk, and he spoke earnestly, to the effect that he must never lose to Fluminense again, otherwise the fans would be irritable, and the club would be very difficult to handle, and so on.

But facing Fluminense who was in good form, Osvaldo was really not sure, so he had to break the boat and try to win by surprise.

The players quickly divided into two teams according to Osvaldo's instructions. Unexpectedly, but what Ricardo expected was that he, Fabiano and Kaka were all assigned to the main team.

The two full-backs, Wilson and Miguel, both lost.

The main team is equipped with 3 defensive midfielders, of which Alessandro lags behind, almost falling between the two central defenders, Ricardo and Baptista are a little forward, Ricardo and Kaka served as the double attacking midfielder, Riccardo leaned to the left, Kaka leaned to the right, and Fabiano stepped forward.

After the start of the match, the main team was still a little uncomfortable at first, but with the smooth cooperation between Ricardo and Kaka, they quickly gained the upper hand.

The intra-team match lasted 30 minutes in the first half. The main team scored 2 goals in each half and easily defeated the substitute team. Ricardo made a pass and shot, Kaka scored a goal, and Fabiano also scored a goal. He seemed to have recovered a little bit.

Osvaldo watched intently from the sidelines and rarely stopped the game. Sometimes he frowned, sometimes smiled, and sometimes lowered his head to write something in a small notebook. After the match, he gathered everyone together again, commented, and finally said: "In general, I am very satisfied with what you have shown in this intra-team match. Tomorrow, let us use this lineup to Get rid of Fluminense!"

The players followed suit: "Kill them!"

"We want revenge! Kick them 5:0!"

"5:0 is not enough, 6:0 is needed!"

Morale is not bad, Osvaldo thought with relief.

Although temporary changes are taboo, but now he can only gamble.

If he wins this game, he will have a lot of time to continue to reform and adjust the team. With Kaka, Ricardo, Fabiano, Ricardinho and other talented players, he has Confidence to gain some honors this season; if they lose, then of course nothing will be mentioned, and they can only pack up and leave in despair.
