“The greatest player I’ve ever seen in my career? Ronaldo is the best.” -Totti
Licado in the lone center position showed a good performance in training, so Oswaldo was very satisfied.
In fact, players who can generally play the shadow striker role can usually better adapt to the position of the lone frontman, the tactical responsibilities of the two are overlapping, but also to bear the offensive organization, response, completing the fatal pass and other tasks.
The difference is that the lone centre has to take on more offensive functions, the position is higher, and the organization task is heavier?
Licado had played in the center position in his previous life, so there was no difficulty adapting.
More than the forward, the positions and tactical roles he has tried include traditional number 9th, fake 9th, shadow, wide playmaker, traditional wingers and inside forward.
Traditional No. 9th is the traditional center, Licado’s previous life in this role performance is relatively poor, mainly due to slow speed, height is not enough, and the body’s ability to fight of defenders is poor.
False No. 9th refers to a tactical role that appears in the center position, but is primarily responsible for the response function. Usually with the inside forward the use of fake 9th in the center is to take the ball, get involved, quick response and give the inner winger the opportunity to cut in to make the shot.
For example, the BBC combination of the previous Real Madrid period, Barcelona’s MSN combination, Benzema and Suarez have both played a fake No. 9th tactical role in the competition.
The shadow striker, also known as 9 and a half, is a tactical character between No. 10 (Organization Core) and 9, usually in a position better than front of midfield but behind the center.
The wide playmaker refers to the main passing side, but is responsible for organizing the offensive tactical role, at his period at Inter Milan Figo is in this position.
The inside forward refers to the inside-cutting winger, usually against the natural side of footballer, such as the right foot will play left, the left foot will play the right inside forward, Neymar, Messi, Cristiano, Robben and so on have held this tactical role.
The position of the inside forward, in the past is not what Licado was good at, because he is too slow. But this life, with such a great physical quality, it would be a pity not to try the inside forward.
But in this day and age, these forward tactics have not yet prevailed, and if he wants to try this tactical role, he will have to wait for the moment.
Looking at Licado’s excellent performance in the forward position, Oswaldo felt as if there was a flash of light in his mind, but when he wanted to seize the inspiration, it was fleeting.
Oswaldo patted his head with chagrin and put it behind him.
……
After practice in the afternoon, Rico and Licado stayed to continue their equipment training. The two men were practicing sweaty, and Oswaldo came over and said kindly, “Ricardo, I want to talk to you. Are you free? "
“Wait till I finish this group.” “Licado did not give Oswaldo the meaning of face.” Fortunately, Oswaldo also had a certain understanding of him and do not think he disobedient.
After finishing this set of actions, Licado stood up and wiped his sweat: “BOSS, what do you want to say to me? "
Oswaldo motioned him to speak on the sidelines.
After the stand, Oswaldo said: “The club may provide you with a new contract, a real professional contract in the near future.” What do you have in mind? "
Licado smiled, which was to be expected: “This, talk to my agent.” "
“Who is your agent? "
“Fabiano Farah. "
It was him indeed. Oswaldo said with a blank face: “That can trouble you to inform him, ask him to come to the club find Mr. Lecco to negotiate the renewal of your contract matter.” "
“I will.” “Although it should be, Licado does not want to enter the contract negotiations immediately. It’s best to play a few more games on your own and be persuasive enough to try to get a good contract.
In this day, it is almost gold everywhere, but he needs enough start-up capital, a good contract is necessary.
Now if he can make more money, in the future he can choose not to play for money and do not have to worry because of the factors of money.
After Oswaldo left, Licado returned to the machine to continue practicing.
“Boss and what did you say? “Rico’s forehead burst sinews, gnashing his teeth and asked.
“Concentrate on training, don’t talk.” "
It was only when two people rested that Licado told Rico about his conversation with Oswaldo.
“You deserve it, Licado,” said Rico, envious. Remember, to talk to yourself about a big contract, now all of Brazil knows you’re a genius, and if Sao Paulo doesn’t give you a contract worthy of your talent, you can go to another team. "
Licado laughs: “This I do not worry, let the agent to worry about it.” I just concentrate on kicking the ball. "
Rico showed a squinting look: “When you sign a new contract and get the signing fee, ask me to go to the nightclub to play for once.” I’m going to get a blonde, big-wavy girl! "
“And say it, for sure.” “Licado patted his breasts and packed his tickets.
“I suddenly feel full of energy, come on again, we continue to train!” "
……
In the next round, Sao Paulo’s opponent is Juventude, Caxias Do Sul, where Sao Paulo sits at home order.
The good news is that Ricardinho and Fabiano are recovering well, and although they do not yet have the condition to play for 90 minutes, they can play in the game as appropriate.
At a pre-match press conference, asked by reporters if Ricardinho and Fabiano would play, Oswaldo put up a smoke screen: “Of course not, they haven’t fully recovered, and I’m not going to risk them getting their injuries out of the game. "
Instead of obsessing about the issue, the journalists asked the questions that everyone was concerned about: “Will Licado, a junior who did well in the last game, be on the starting list?” "
“He’s too young and there’s a lot to learn,” Oswaldo, thinking of his words and not wanting to crack down on Licado’s enthusiasm, “I don’t think he’s ready to make the debut, but I’ll keep an assessment of him and I’ll arrange for him to play at the right time.” "
When Licado saw the news about the press conference on “The Sao Paulo page,” It was just one laugh.
He really doesn’t need to be in a hurry to make it in his main capacity right now.
With his current physical condition, playing on the pitch for 90 minutes is simply not realistic and can also impose too much of burden on the body.
As long as Oswaldo can give him enough playing time, at the same time he can maintain a good competitive state, seize every appearance of the opportunity to perform well, it is enough.
In another six months, when his training is beginning to bear fruit, his body strength is enhanced, and his physical reserve is more abundant, it is the time for him to compete for the main position.
Now, for the time being, be content to be a rotating player.
