Chapter 453: The Determination of the Substitute
Rico hadn't even had a few goals in front of him before he saw his team concede one of the most crucial goals.
He stood in front and watched the scene in amazement.
I came on the pitch to fight the Chinese team on the counterattack. Because at that time we were only one goal behind and there were still chances, but now ...... We're already two goals down, what's the point of my play?
He began to doubt.
※※※
"Ugh-" One of his teammates in the room sighed, then waved his hand and shook his head away.
"It's a waste of time if you don't watch it......"
"As long as there is glory, the Chinese team is invincible......"
"Let's go back and rest early, tomorrow's game is the most important thing......"
In this way, everyone left Kaka's room one by one.
At the back of the room, only Kaka and Baptista were left.
Baptista didn't leave because it was his room - he shared a room with Kaka.
But Baptista is not going to continue watching: "I'm going to go to the toilet ......"
He got up and walked to the bathroom.
Kaka turned his head to look at him, then fixed his gaze on the TV screen again.
He was also hesitant to continue watching.
Seeing Rong Guang such a dick really made him a little unhappy.
The next game is meaningless, and Brazil will not be able to turn defeat into victory, because the Chinese team has glory.
At this time, a black face appeared among the players of the Brazilian national youth team, who had appeared on the TV screen one by one in close-ups.
Kaka knew the face.
It's Rico.
Rico opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, and his expression glazed, as if he had been hit very hard.
It looks really pitiful, and it's a little funny.
Kaka rang the phone he had called Rico yesterday.
I said I would cheer him on, and I would watch him play in front of the TV.
If you turn off the TV like that now, isn't that untrustworthy?
Although Rico doesn't know what to do, it can ...... God knows the Way.
He deceived Rico himself, God knows very well.
His devout beliefs led him to stick with it and see the game over, even if the last ten minutes of the game had become garbage time.
※※※
Now that's the point, what's the point of me playing?
Rico looked at the Chinese team players who were cheering and celebrating in front of the goal, and thought blankly.
It was my first appearance at the World Junior Championships, my first time playing...... However, it seems to be over before it even begins?
It's so insignificant......
But isn't that a good fit?
I'm so insignificant......
In Brazil's youth team, I was a substitute.
I was also a substitute in São Paulo.
Rong, who used to be worse than me, is now so beautiful.
Even Lucas, who used to be a substitute in the youth team, is even lower than me, but he is now the main center forward of the first team of Sao Paulo......
And himself, or a substitute.
The people around him, one after another, are surpassing themselves and then throwing themselves away.
They have all become stars, only themselves, still unknown and insignificant......
He thought about that winter, when Lucas ran to his family's grocery store to find him and dragged him to special training. At that time, I was surprised that Lucas, who had always been lazy, would have such a positive side, and asked him strangely what was wrong.
"Do you want to be stronger, Rico?"
"How much do you want? Do you want to be stronger like you want to breathe? ”
I want to be strong as I want to breathe......
Rong and Lucas are both here because of this belief, right?
And what about yourself?
He thought about what he had said to his teammates before the game.
I don't know if I have such a strong desire to breathe and want to be stronger.
But now......
Am I going to throw in the towel?
If I admit defeat here, then I deserve to be a substitute for the rest of my life, forever so obscure and insignificant!
I want to win this game, like I want to breathe and want to win this game!
Even if everyone gives up...... I still want to win!
I can't change their minds, I can't pull them up from the ground one by one and give them the force, but I can decide for myself.
I want to win!
Very, very much!
It's like longing to breathe!
※※※
When the game started, the Brazilian team seemed to have lost their fighting spirit, and they retreated to defend at the back, but it was more like inertia - because the manager had not made any new adjustments, and they continued to play the same tactical style of play. In fact, their brains didn't even think about what they were doing, and they were going to continue to kick like this.
This shows how hard Gao Lin's ball hit them.
The **** that has almost completely destroyed their game.
The players of the Chinese team also played very relaxed and gradually relaxed.
Because even a blind man can see that Brazil can no longer threaten them, and the rest of the game just needs to be passed.
There are even some Chinese players who have started to think hard about how to present themselves in front of European scouts......
No one noticed that in the decadent Brazilian formation, there was a black ...... hidden Leopard!
※※※
Eighty-two minutes into the game, the Chinese team had besieged Brazil's penalty area for five minutes.
For five minutes, the Brazilian defenders were like a pack of dogs.
It seems that a goal could come at any time.
Brazil's weak defenders of the Chinese team are gearing up one by one and want to come up and participate in the attack.
The two full-backs had already crossed the halfway line and were not going back, and now the two centre-backs couldn't help but get even closer to the halfway line.
While they can't actually go up and get involved, they want to be as close as possible to the attack.
You can't really attack, it's always okay to see a little more clearly, right?
At this time, Cheng Tao's possession of the ball in the front court was cut off by Brazilian defender Renato!
Then he followed with a big kick to clear the siege!
But the ball didn't fly to the sidelines, it flew straight to the front!
Renato seems to just want to keep the ball as far away from their own goal as possible.
But his kick was inadvertent...... Created a chance to fight back!
"Rico! Brazil's substitute striker, he started from the middle circle and chased football! Huang Jianqiang was taken aback when he saw this scene - the backfield in China is so empty that he can run a horse!
If this ball is received by Rico...... That's a single knife!
At this time, the two central defenders of the Chinese team who quietly approached the middle line realized that they had made a mistake!
When they all turned around to intercept Rico, Rico had already slipped through them like a gust of wind!
At that moment, despair rose from the bottom of their hearts and almost overwhelmed them.
The two of them were like drowning people, reaching out and grabbing Rico's back in vain, as if to grasp at a life-saving straw.
But they could only watch Rico's back farther and farther away......
Just then, another gust of wind swept through them!
Red jersey, yellow captain's armband, number ten, glory!
※※※
"Brazil cleared the ball with a big kick...... Huh? This ball...... This is a counterattack from the Brazilian team! The Chinese team's goal is dangerous! Huang Jianqiang exclaimed.
Although the Chinese team has a two-goal lead, it ...... If Rico scores this goal, it will be one goal away, and there are five minutes left in the game, plus three minutes of injury time, eight minutes, enough for the Brazilian team to do something......
So this ball looks inconsequential, it's actually critical!
But then he found that a player from the Chinese team had returned to the defense, and when he saw this scene, he was suddenly relieved.
Because the one who catches up is ...... Glory!
Glory and Rico are just like that!
"Glory is actively defending back!"
※※※
Kaka, who was in front of the TV, was quite happy to see that the ball had turned into a single knife from Rico, and if the ball went in, it would not be completely hopeless......
But then he saw the glory!
That kid!
He clenched his fists and cursed inwardly through gritted teeth.
Why is he everywhere?!
※※※
Ricko didn't know that the glory of the road was chasing him behind him, and he had only one thought now about this God-given opportunity, and that was to get the football in!
If you want to prove how much you want to win this game, score this ball first!
When the football fell, he did not stop the ball directly with his feet, but used his head to move the football forward a little bit, and continued to chase the football without slowing down!
In front of the Brazil team's coach's box and bench, everyone was already on their feet, and they stared nervously at Rico running wildly.
At the same time, they also saw the glory of struggling to catch up behind Rico.
Rico ran earlier than Glory and was closer to goal, so could Rico have a chance to shoot before Glory caught up with him?
The Brazilian players on the pitch also watched the special race in a daze, completely forgetting that they had to go up to support Rico - in fact, it was useless for them to go up.
It's a matchup between the fastest of the two teams.
There is simply no room for them to meddle......
But they all silently cheered for Ruike in their hearts.
Renato gasped and looked at Rico, not expecting that he would have a chance to turn into an assist with a casual kick......
Come on, Rico!
You can do it!
Surely you can!
Be confident in yourself!
※※※
The players of the Chinese team are chasing back, but they are still far from glory, let alone Ruike before glory.
Their chaseback is more of a formality that shows they haven't given up yet.
In fact, they knew very well in their hearts that their pursuit was meaningless, and everyone's eyes were on their captain.
Can the fastest man in the game catch up with Rico, who started earlier than him? The speed of that Brazilian substitute is not slow!
Suddenly, a football match turned into a 100-meter race between two people! Rico hadn't even had a few goals in front of him before he saw his team concede one of the most crucial goals.
He stood in front and watched the scene in amazement.
I came on the pitch to fight the Chinese team on the counterattack. Because at that time we were only one goal behind and there were still chances, but now ...... We're already two goals down, what's the point of my play?
