I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 15 A flash in the pan?nonexistent

On February 2001, 2, in the Sao Paulo State League, Sao Paulo played against Santos.

Santos is an outer port city in the state of Sao Paulo, only 75 kilometers away from Sao Paulo, so this is a derby.

Sao Paulo was holding their breath, because they hadn't beaten their opponents for five years.

Kaka, who was amazing in the last game, did not get the chance to start and continued to sit on the bench. On the one hand, he was not fully integrated into the team's tactical system as a rookie. On the other hand, he had not played for three months due to injury. Alvarez was worried about his state.

Almost exactly like the previous game, Sao Paulo fell behind early on.

Sao Paulo's defense was not good. Santos got a lot of chances in the first half, and it was understandable to score one, but Santos' defense was not very good. Sao Paulo's five consecutive shots did not convert into goals. It is quite speechless.

Alvarez glanced at the bench, and the bench players couldn't help puffing out their chests like concubines waiting for the emperor's flop.

"Kaka, Burgess, warm up."

Burgess let out a heartless "" and immediately got up and ran out, probably forgetting that his team is still behind.

"Kaka is going to play, and with him is Gibbs. This is also a young player who has just been transferred from the Sao Paulo youth team to the first team. Perhaps Kaka's outstanding performance has given Alvarez a taste of the sweetness. He has become very bold in using young people. I hope this young striker will not let him down. Of course, fans may be more concerned about whether Kaka can perform as well as he did three days ago."

The traditional regional leagues of each country are the bottom of the national football league pyramid. Simply put, national competitions are better than provincial (state) competitions, but Brazil is completely opposite. Their state leagues exist completely independently. The state football associations are not under the control of the Brazilian Football Association.

Although the scope of influence is limited to the state of Sao Paulo, the football market in the state of Sao Paulo alone is already bigger than the Chinese Super League, so this Sao Paulo state league has received a lot of attention.

Kaka didn't become very calm just because he had already played once, but he did a good job on the surface, at least he looked much calmer than the impatient Burgess.

"No. 19 minutes in the second half, the score was [-]-[-], Kaka came off the bench, what a familiar script, I hope Kaka can also contribute a familiar performance."

The Santos team attaches great importance to Kaka. It is definitely not a big enemy, but it is certainly impossible to expect them to be as carefree as Botafogo. On the contrary, Gibbs faced a very lax defense and got a decent shot just after running to the position.

This is a long pass from the midfield. All Burgess needs to do is stop the ball with his chest, turn around a little and be able to face the goal. The nearest defensive player is still three feet away from him.

Unlike the usual frizz, Burgess was still calm when he took the ball on the field. I saw him stop the ball firmly under his feet, flick it forward, and kicked directly to hit the goal.

The football flew into the sky majesticly like a fired shell...

Fabiano on the other side spread his hands. His position just now was actually not bad. If Burgess had been more selfless, the score might have become one to one by now.

The Santos team kicked the goal kick. The goalkeeper did not kick it wide, but passed the ball to the full-back, and then launched an attack through a surprise attack from the wing.

The attack soon returned without success, and what frustrated them was a beast whose minions had not yet fully grown.

"Baptista's beautiful tackle grabbed the ball for Sao Paulo. I know that many people like me looked at Kaka immediately. Unfortunately, Kaka was closely marked. It was Ochito who came to meet him, and another long pass. This time it was Luis."

Luis Fabiano jumped up and stopped the ball, and then passed the ball to the top of the penalty area.

There are defensive players on both sides of him, and the shooting angle is not suitable. He originally planned to pass the ball to Burgess, but from the corner of his eye, he saw Kaka who was plugging in at high speed and subconsciously passed the ball.

Kaka made a move to hit the goal, and Santos' defender rushed up to block it. Kaka dunked the ball with his right foot, which turned into a breakthrough. The opponent's defender was very experienced and did not get passed.

Kaka quickly counterattacked, but the opponent had already cleared the ball.

The Sao Paulo team's offense ended without a problem, and the Santos midfielder who was in charge of man-marking Kaka arrived in a hurry at this time.

"What a fake move, is this a talented player from Sao Paulo? My cousin's moves are more realistic than him."

"It's been a long time since Sao Paulo has seen a genius, so that both guys can enter the first team."

Santos coach Lula's heart tightened when he saw Kaka receiving the ball, and he stood up. Even after Kaka was robbed, he didn't relax. On the contrary, the assistant coach looked relaxed and said with a smile: "Sure enough, Botafogo is too careless. He was beaten like that by a rookie."

Lula stood on the sidelines with her shoulders crossed, her eyes fixed on Kaka, her brows tightly wrinkled.

No coach dares to ignore a player who comes off the bench and produces three goals, even if that player is two months away from turning 19.

"The technique is rough and the organization ability is poor, but the running ability is strong, the mentality is calm, the daring to make moves, and the passing ability remains to be seen." Not only Lula secretly observed in his heart, but also all the ghosts and snakes in the stands were constantly updating their evaluation of Kaka after a short touch.

"Poor shooting, failed breakthrough, Alvarez's young man did not show convincing ability. We can't easily judge a player just because of one or two games, especially when the player is still in the growth period. But obviously, Burgess and Kaka still have a long way to go from the real superstars. Alvarez can't expect his super rookie to become a super substitute every time he falls behind. Instead, he should strengthen the tactical arrangement..." Banner TV broadcast the game as a commentary It is still their head commentator Jeke Kafu. Kaka left a deep impression on him, so he pays special attention to Kaka.

Kaka gave a thumbs up to Fabiano, who made a good pass, and then returned to defense.

He didn't know that his performance had attracted the attention of countless scouts and fans, but he knew that there must be many people questioning his strength, and he also knew that these doubts would soon dissipate, because...

There is never a flash in the pan in the script of hanging up.

　I have signed a contract, I am very relieved, I once wanted to stop and celebrate it, but my strong sense of mission and responsibility still made me decide to publish two chapters today... I really want to praise myself, but I am a little embarrassed...
