Chapter 547 Give You 1 Point of Encouragement

The 2010 World Cup officially kicked off with the hosts South Africa and Mexico taking to the field.

It's a fan's day, a media frenzy, and... the end of the game.

In the opening game, the South African team relied on Chabalala's goal to draw 1:1 with Mexico, and finally did not waste the home court advantage.

Brazil is still waiting for their debut.

Although known as "Brazil with the least star flavor in the past 30 years", the players of the Brazilian team are still very optimistic about their future.

With two generations of football champions Ronaldo and Ricardo, Kaka, Maicon, the world's best right back, and excellent goalkeeper Cesar, the Brazilians don't think there is any team on earth that is their opponent.

In the two warm-up matches before the World Cup, Brazil defeated Zimbabwe and Tanzania with a disparity of 5:0 and 7:1 respectively.

These two games are really not even warm-ups, and have no reference value. The only purpose is probably to help Licado break the record.

In these two games, Ricardo fired all his firepower and scored a total of 8 goals, refreshing his national team's scoring record to 90 goals, officially surpassing Ronaldo and becoming the player with the most goals in Brazilian history.

And he's not yet 24.

Of course, the media and fans are no longer amazed, they are used to Ricardo breaking various records.

The only topic they are interested in now is when Ricardo will score his 1,000th career goal.

Before the game, Dunga was unable to determine the main lineup for a long time.

The two formations he commonly uses in training and competition are the popular 4231 and the traditional Brazilian 442.

Among them, 4231 is used more and can be regarded as a standing formation, while 442 is often used when special tactics need to be implemented.

In Brazil's current 4231, the main goalkeeper is undoubtedly Cesar, the main right back is Maicon, Lucio occupies the position of a main central defender, and the positions of Kaka's midfielder and Ricardo's left forward have also been determined.

But the candidates for the rest of the positions, Dunga is still under investigation.

For example, left back, if you look at experience, of course you should choose Gilberto. But Gilberto is 34 years old,

Physical fitness has declined drastically. Considering physical confrontation and the very important speed attribute of a full-back, Bastos, who was born in 1983, is undoubtedly more suitable.

In the position of the midfielder, Gilberto Silva is also 34 years old, too old, and his physical fitness and running ability make it difficult for him to cope with the high-intensity World Cup games.

But Baptista is not in good form; the 23-year-old Ramirez is still a little immature; Felipe Melo is sometimes too reckless and not so reassuring; he can play as a front midfielder or a midfielder Hernanes is a bit tender, and his defensive ability is weak. Dunga had a hard time choosing.

At the right winger position, Rico is in good form, and Kaka and Elano can also play in this position. In the past few years, Brazil has not appeared in the position of right winger to make Dunga shine, so it is imperative to choose Rico.

The single striker position is the most headache for Dunga. Ronaldo is expected by everyone. No matter how bad his condition is, he is still the first love of many fans. If Ronaldo is not played, the Brazilian fans will be noisy.

But Dunga actually prefers Fabiano. There is nothing outstanding about this player, but he is very balanced and has a good understanding with Ricardo and Kaka.

Dunga really wanted to gather Baptista, Kaka, Riccardo, Rico and Fabiano, the original five heroes of Sao Paulo in the game, and try to summon the dragon.

In training, Dunga tried a variety of combinations, none of which were very satisfactory.

There is not much time left for him to prepare.

The Brazilian team is about to make an appearance.

Two days before Brazil's first game, after training, Ricardo asked Dunga for leave.

Disguised by a baseball cap and sunglasses, he quietly left the hotel through the back door, boarded a taxi, and came to a cafe.

After entering the cafe, he looked around for a while, and soon saw Olivia sitting in a corner, playing with her mobile phone with her head down.

Licado walked over and sat down, and was about to speak when Olivia said, "Be quiet, wait until I finish this round."

Soon the waiter came and asked him what he wanted. Li Kaduo ordered a cup of Fragrant White. Olivia finally put down her phone and looked up.

She put on some light makeup, and her mixed-race face made people intoxicated, especially her eyes, which were like black gemstones falling in the snow, so shining that people couldn't look away.

"Why ask me out? If the reporter finds out, they'll arrange me again." Olivia pouted cutely.

Licado smiled slightly: "Reporters also have to eat, be more tolerant."

"I don't like it!" Olivia shook her head vigorously, "The boys in school dare not chase me anymore."

"Then do you have a boy you fancy?" Licado asked provocatively.

"No." Olivia lowered her head and played with her nails.

"Actually," Licado coughed, "When you were young, you often said that you would be my girlfriend...so it's not considered an arrangement."

"I don't remember," Olivia snorted. "Who remembers when I was so young?"

"It's not too young, I remember you were 12 years old at that time..."

Olivia said with a half-smile: "Hey, you still remember that I was 12 years old at that time. You said that if you really got on good terms with me at that time, how many laws would you violate?"

"That's why I didn't promise to be nice to you at that time." Li Kaduo was a little embarrassed.

"But at least you promised to find me as your girlfriend when I grow up, right? The result? Didn't you find another woman." Olivia wrinkled her small nose, very cute.

"Didn't I come to look for you?" Li Kaduo said cheekily.

"But I don't care about you anymore." Olivia turned her head.

From the bottom of her eyes, Licado saw a faint smile. He really doesn't know how to get along with women, but he is not an idiot who can't read faces.

He smiled and said: "When I first joined Manchester United, you said that as long as I lead the team to win the Champions League, you will introduce me to a girlfriend."

"Didn't I bring a lot of beauties to your house? I collected all the most beautiful girls in our school and packed them up for you. You didn't want them yourself."

"I don't like those, now I just want you."

Licado clearly saw a red glow rising from Olivia's ear, slowly dyeing her whole face red.

Olivia grinned her teeth and made a fierce expression: "So what if you want it, who stipulated that you must give it to you if you want it?"

Licado smiled without saying a word.

"Hmph," Olivia turned her head away, "Bring the World Cup back first, and I'll think about it later."

"It's quite difficult."

Olivia stood up abruptly, bent down, and pecked Licado's face, and then sat back as if nothing had happened, showing a mischievous smile. "Then let me give you some encouragement first."
