MTL - The Day I Played with Ronaldo-Chapter 549 5 St. Paul
At the press conference after the game, Dunga finally looked straight at his opponent. "We won the game and it was a good thing. The guys showed what we tried in training during the game and I think it is good. But the opponent also played very well and I never thought about it The North Korean team can bring us so much trouble. I think they have the hope of qualifying for the group. "
Kim Jong-hoon couldn't hide his disappointment after the defeat: "I thought we could do better. We lived up to the expectations of great leaders. But Brazil is the best team in the world. I am not making excuses for our failure, but we It ’s really not as good as people. We will do our best in the next two games, and we must not live up to the expectations of the people and the expectations of our leaders. "
As for the Brazilian players, after playing the game, they left the ball behind. The North Korean team is just one of their many opponents, and it is not the strongest, not the most impressive.
After Brazil won, Spain unexpectedly lost to Switzerland. The first round of the World Cup group stage is over, and some are happy and sad.
As in previous World Cups, there is no shortage of upsets.
The second round of the group stage began.
France lost to Mexico, and the prospect of qualifying is worrying. This 98 World Cup champion, 2000 European Cup champion, and the 2006 World Cup, which forced Brazil to a very embarrassing team, is likely to be eliminated in the group stage.
Argentina won the game smoothly, but England once again ushered in a draw, leaving the British media sad.
Then Germany fought, 4-0 victory over Australia, Netherlands defeated Japan, two consecutive victories in advance, defending champion Italy nearly tied New Zealand, the last game must win to qualify.
Among the much anticipated, the Brazilian team debuted again.
Their opponent, Côte d'Ivoire, was not an underdog, and in the first game Côte d'Ivoire tied Portugal.
Drogba, Kalu, Eboue, Yaya Touré, Kolo Touré, Tioté, Gervinho, Keita and other famous players in the top five European leagues, Côte d'Ivoire paper The face strength can be said to be expected to be in the top 8 and even the top 4 is not to be expected.
The draw of Portugal in the first game also gave them great confidence.
Cote d'Ivoire coach Eriksson looks forward to the game before the game: "Brazil is the best team in the world, Ricardo, Ronaldo and Kaka are the best players in the world and it is great to play against them This is a rare experience. We will try our best to win and the draw will be acceptable. If we tie Brazil and win North Korea in the last game, we will have hope. Brazil is strong but Portugal is not weak. We can Draw to Portugal means that we also have a chance before Brazil. "
Dunga responded simply: "Brazil is Brazil. Don't compare Brazil to any other team. Only one team in the world has won the World Cup five times, and that is us Brazil."
Compared with the first game, Brazil only adjusted one position, Ronaldo's knee was a little uncomfortable, and Fabiano replaced him as the starter.
For the first time, São Paulo appeared on the World Cup.
The team that swept South America at that time finally joined hands again, and this time they will not face South American magnates, but the whole world.
In the locker room before the start of the game, five good partners formed a circle, put their shoulders together and put their heads together.
"I wo n’t accept any results other than victory. This World Cup, I wo n’t accept any results except the championship. Brothers, work together!" Ricardo shouted.
"Work hard!" Everyone shouted together.
After the ceremony, Ricardo called the team together and made an exhortation.
As the current captain of the Brazilian national team, he is slowly becoming familiar with his responsibilities. He believes that it is necessary for the captain to emphasize again after the head coach finishes the arrangement.
"The media believes that Côte d'Ivoire has the qualifications to challenge us," laughed Ricardo. "I think Côte d'Ivoire may end the history of the World Cup that has never defeated Brazil in Africa.
After a pause, seeing the expressions of disdain or anger on the faces of his teammates, Ricardo continued in a calm voice, "Isn't it? I feel uncomfortable. Then tell them on the court with our performance. What an outrageous mistake! "
After tossing, Ivory Coast kicked off. As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, the Brazilian team rushed forward fiercely.
Côte d'Ivoire passed the ball to the backcourt and paused for a while, but Brazilian players swarmed up and there was a lot of momentum.
In a panic, Kolo Touré kicked the ball up and tried to find Drogba, but was topped by a Brazilian player. Brazil fought back.
After the ball came to Kaka's feet, Kaka did not hesitate and sent a top pass to the left. Ricardo inserted it at high speed, bumped the ball in his chest, then thighed, stopped the ball comfortably, and sent the semi-high ball to the middle.
Fabiano rushed forward, dived with a dive and grabbed the ball before the Ivorian players. He shook his head, the football changed direction and quickly flew towards the goal. Côte d'Ivoire goalkeeper Barry only raised his hand symbolically.
The game lasted only 29 seconds, the Brazilian team opened the record! This is by far the fastest goal of the World Cup.
At this time, many Ivorian players have fallen behind by one goal before entering the game.
"Fabiano Goallllll!" The narrator introduced with excitement, "This is Fabiano's first World Cup goal and also his 26th goal for the Brazilian national team! Although he played in the national team Yes, he has been a marginal player before, but his goal efficiency is really good. His performance in the club is mediocre and he has not been able to integrate into European football ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ but his performance in the national team is still very eye-catching. . "
"In the case of Ronaldo's injury, he is indeed the best substitute for Ronaldo. I am not saying that he can replace Ronaldo. Ronaldo is unique and cannot be replaced. However, Fabiano does have the right to attack Brazil. strength."
The lagging Côte d'Ivoire did not immediately attack aggressively. After all, this is the beginning of the game, and it is not time to break the boat.
Using their strong midfield, Côte d'Ivoire calmly dealt with Brazil calmly.
However, the Brazilian team has Thiago Silva, Lucio, and Maicon in the back defense. It is not easy to break. Côte d'Ivoire has not found a good opportunity and can only make a few free kicks and corner kicks. Threat.
Brazil, however, was able to suddenly accelerate the offensive through changes in rhythm, leaving Côte d'Ivoire's back line exhausted.
For some reason, Cote d'Ivoire coach Eriksson did not arrange for someone to mark Ricardo, giving Ricardo too many opportunities to calmly get the ball.
They soon suffered.
