The Day I Played with Ronaldo

The greatest player I've ever seen in my career? Ronaldo is the best. - Totti

Osvaldo was very satisfied with Ricardo's performance in the attacking midfielder position.

In fact, players who can generally play as a hidden forward can usually adapt to the position of the attacking midfielder better. The tactical responsibilities of the two overlap. .

The difference is that Yinfeng has to undertake more offensive functions, and the position is more forward, while the organizational task of the midfielder is heavier.

Ricardo had played the front midfielder position in his previous life, so he had no difficulty adapting.

Not only the attacking midfielder, the positions and tactical roles he has tried include traditional No. 9, false No. 9, hidden forward, wing organizer, traditional winger and inside forward.

The traditional No. 9 is the traditional center. Ricardo performed poorly in this role in his previous life, mainly due to his slow speed, insufficient height, and poor physical confrontation ability.

The fake number 9 refers to the presence of the center forward, but it is mainly responsible for supporting functions, such a tactical role. It is usually used in conjunction with the inside forward. The fake number 9 takes the ball in the frontcourt, involves, supports, and gives the inside forward a chance to cut in and shoot.

For example, the BBC combination in the former Real Madrid period, Barcelona's MSN combination, Benzema and Suarez have all played the false No. 9 tactical role in the game.

Yinfeng is also called No. 9 and a half. It is a tactical role between No. 10 (organizer) and No. 9. It is usually located in front of the front midfielder and behind the center forward.

The wing organizer refers to the tactical role that mainly plays on the wing, but is responsible for organizing the offense. Figo during the Inter Milan period was this positioning.

An inside forward refers to an inside-cutting winger, usually a reverse football player. For example, the right foot will play the left inside forward, and the left foot will play the right inside forward. Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo, Robben, etc. have all played this role. tactical role.

The position of inside forward was not what Ricardo was good at in his previous life, because his speed was too slow. But in this life, with such great physical fitness, it would be a pity not to try an inside forward.

However, in this era, inside forward tactics have not yet prevailed. If he wants to try this tactical role, he has to wait for the opportunity.

Seeing Riccardo's excellent performance in the front midfielder position, Osvaldo felt that there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind, but when he wanted to grasp the inspiration, it disappeared in a flash.

Osvaldo patted his head in frustration and put it behind him.

...

After the training in the afternoon, Rico and Ricardo stayed and continued to do equipment training. The two were sweating profusely from practice, when Osvaldo came over and said kindly: "Ricardo, I want to talk to you, are you free?"

"Wait until I finish this group." Ricardo didn't mean to give Osvaldo any face. Fortunately, Osvaldo also had a certain understanding of him, so he didn't think he was disobedient.

After finishing this set of movements, Licado stood up and wiped his sweat: "Boss, what do you want to tell me?"

Osvaldo motioned for him to step aside and speak.

After standing still, Osvaldo said: "The club may offer you a new contract in the near future, a real professional contract. What do you think?"

Licado smiled, this is what he expected: "This, just talk to my manager."

"Who is your agent?"

"Fabbiano Farah."

Sure enough, it was him. Osvaldo said blankly: "Then please inform him, just come to the club and talk to Mr. Lecco about renewing the contract."

"I will." Although he agreed, Ricardo didn't want to enter the contract negotiation right away. It is best to play a few more games by yourself and have a convincing performance before you can easily fight for a good contract.

In this era, gold is everywhere, but he needs enough start-up capital, and a good contract is very necessary.

Make more money now,

In the future, I will not play football for money, and I will not have to wrong myself because of money factors.

After Osvaldo left, Ricardo returned to the equipment and continued to practice.

"What did the BOSS tell you?" Rico asked gnashing his teeth with veins popping out on his forehead.

"Concentrate on training, don't talk."

When the two were resting, Ricardo told Rico about the conversation he had with Osvaldo.

Rico looked envious: "You deserve it, Ricardo. Remember, you have to negotiate a big contract for yourself. Now all Brazil knows that you are a genius. If Sao Paulo doesn't give you a contract worthy of your talent , you can go to another team."

Licado smiled and said: "I don't worry about this, let the agent worry about it. I just concentrate on playing well."

Riko showed a lewd look: "When you sign the new contract and get the signing fee, you want to invite me to the nightclub once. I'm going to have a big blonde girl!"

"Need to say, for sure." Licado patted his chest to assure his promise.

"I suddenly felt full of energy. Come on, let's continue training!"

...

In the next round, Sao Paulo's opponent is Juventud of Rio Grande do Sul, and Sao Paulo sits at home and waits for work.

The strength of the opponent is not strong. In Osvaldo's plan, this game must be won.

The good news is that both Ricardinho and Fabiano are recovering well. Although they do not yet have the conditions to play a full 90 minutes, they can play in this game depending on the situation.

At the press conference before the game, when asked by reporters whether Ricardinho and Fabiano would play, Osvaldo put a smoke bomb: "Of course not, they have not fully recovered. I'm not going to take them out and risk making them worse."

Instead of entangled in this issue, the reporters asked a question that everyone cared about: "Will Ricardo, the young player who performed well in the last game, appear in the starting list?"

"He is still too young, and he still has a lot to learn," Osvaldo considered his words, not wanting to dampen Ricardo's enthusiasm, "I don't think he is ready to start, but I will continue to Evaluate him and when the time is right, I'll play him."

When Ricardo saw the news about the press conference in the "St. Paul Folha", he just laughed it off.

He really doesn't need to rush to appear as the main force now.

With his current physical condition, it is unrealistic to play for 90 minutes every game, and it will also cause too much burden on the body.

As long as Osvaldo can give him enough playing time, and at the same time he can maintain a good competitive state and seize every opportunity to play well, it is enough.

In another half a year, when his training has begun to bear fruit, when his physical strength has increased and his physical reserves are more sufficient, it will be his time to compete for the main position.

For now, be content with being a rotation player for now.
