After Rico came on the court, he had not yet won the ball in front of him, but he witnessed his team losing the most critical goal.

He stood in front and watched the scene in amazement.

I came on the court to fight back against the Chinese team. Because at that time we were only one goal behind, and there was still a chance, but now... we are already two goals behind. What's the point of my playing field?

He began to doubt.

"Oh--" In the room, some teammates sighed, then waved their hands and shook their heads and left.

"It's a waste of time if you don't watch it..."

"As long as there is Rong, the Chinese team will be invincible..."

"Go back and have a break early. Tomorrow's game is the most important thing..."

In this way, everyone left Kaka's room one by one.

In the end, only Kaka and Baptista were left in the room.

Baptista did not leave because it was his room - he lived in the same room with Kaka.

But Baptista didn't plan to continue watching: "I'll go to the bathroom..."

He stood up and walked towards the toilet.

Kaka turned his head and glanced at him, then fixed his eyes on the TV screen again.

He was also hesitating whether to continue watching.

Seeing Rongguang so badly made him feel a little unhappy.

The next game is meaningless. Brazil cannot turn defeat into victory because the Chinese team has glory.

At this moment, a black face appeared among the players of the Brazilian National Youth Team who appeared in close-up shots on the TV screen.

Kaka knows this face.

It's Rico.

Rico opened his mouth wide, his eyes widened, his expression dull, as if he had suffered a very heavy blow.

It looks really pitiful and a bit funny.

Kaka rang the phone call he called Rico yesterday.

I will cheer him up after I said that I will watch him play in front of the TV.

If you just turn off the TV like this, wouldn’t you be untrustworthy?

Although Rico wouldn't know, but... God knows.

God knows very well that he deceived Rico himself.

The devout faith made Kaka finally decide to keep watching. Seeing the game over, even if the last ten minutes of the game had turned into garbage time.

※※※

Now that I'm like this, what's the point of playing?

Rico looked at the Chinese players cheering and celebrating in front of the door and thought blankly.

This is my first appearance in this World Youth Championship, my first competition...but it seems that it has ended before it even started?

It's so insignificant...

But isn't this quite suitable?

I'm so insignificant...

In the Brazilian National Youth Team, I am a substitute.

In St. Paul, I am also a substitute.

The once worse than me, he is now so glorious.

Even Lucas used to be a substitute in the youth team, and his status was lower than mine, but now he is the main center of the first team of St. Paul...

And I am still a substitute.

The people around him are surpassing themselves one after another and then throwing themselves away.

They have all become stars, only themselves, still unknown and insignificant...

He thought that winter that Lucas ran to his grocery store to find him and took him to special training丨At that time, he 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 to be stronger like you want to breathe?"

I want to become stronger if I want to breathe...

Both Rong and Lucas are what they are today because of this belief, right?

And what about yourself?

He thought of what he said to his teammates before the game.

I don't know if I have the desire to breathe so strongly.

But now...

Am I going to give in like this?

If I admit defeat here, then I deserve to be a substitute for the rest of my life, and will always be so unknown and insignificant.

I want to win this game, just like I want to breathe and 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 one by one from the ground and give them the strength, but I can decide myself.

I want to win

Very much, very much

Just like longing for breath

When the game started, the Brazilian team seemed to have lost their fighting spirit. They hurried in the backcourt to defend, but it was more like an inertia - because the head coach had not made new adjustments, they continued their previous tactical styles and played. In fact, their brains had never thought about why they continued to play like this.

This shows how much the ball of Gao Lin hit them.

Almost completely destroyed their desire to play.

The Chinese team players also played very relaxed and gradually relaxed.

Because I can see that it is a blind man now, Brazil is completely impossible for them to threaten them anymore. The rest of the game only needs to let it pass.

Some Chinese players have even begun to show themselves hard in front of those European scouts.

No one noticed that in the decadent Brazilian formation, there was a black leopard hidden...

※※※

The game was 82 minutes old, before that, the Chinese team had besieged Brazil's penalty area for five minutes.

During these five minutes, the Brazilian defenders were as embarrassed as a group of dogs.

It seems that goals can appear at any time.

Brazil's weakness made the Chinese defenders all ready to come up and participate in the offense.

The two full-backs had long crossed the center line and didn't go back. Now the two central defenders can't even help getting closer to the center line.

Although they can't really go up and participate in the offense, they also hope to be as close as possible to the offense.

If you can't really attack, you can see it more clearly, right?

At this moment, Cheng Tao's possession of the ball in the frontcourt was cut off by Brazil's midfielder Renato.

Then he followed with a big foot to relieve the circumference

However, the football did not fly to the sideline, but flew directly to the frontcourt

Renato seems to just want to keep football away from his goal as much as possible.

But his kick accidentally created an opportunity to fight back

"Rico Brazil's substitute striker, he started from the middle circle and chased the football." Huang Jianqiang was startled when he saw this scene - it was so empty in the backcourt of China that he could run away.

If Rico receives this ball... it will be a one-on-one shot

At this time, the two Chinese central defenders who quietly approached the center line realized that they had made some mistakes

When they turned around and wanted to intercept Rico at the same time, Rico had already crawled through them like a gust of wind

At that moment, a desperate feeling rose from the bottom of their hearts and almost drowned them.

The two of them were like drowning people, reaching out their hands and grabbing Rico's back in vain, as if they were trying to catch a life-saving straw.

But they could only watch Rico's back getting farther and farther away...
