I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 76 The Fox of the Forbidden Area

Flamengo comes from Rio State, another football continent in Brazil. It has won five Brazilian championships, one Libertadores Cup and one Toyota Cup. It is definitely a strong team in Brazilian football.

But everyone didn't expect him to be so strong. Not only did he score five goals for Sao Paulo at home, he was also so strong that he exploded when he came to the away game. He gave Sao Paulo a wave of blood just a few minutes after the opening.

Sao Paulo began to become a little anxious, but he was barely able to hold on. After all, there are more than [-] minutes left in the game, and it is not impossible to tie or even overtake.

But what they waited for was not a turning point, but a worsening situation.

Just 4 minutes after Flamengo scored, Sao Paulo had a great chance, but Leonardo's pass was suspected to be blocked by the Flamengo defender with his arm.

The referee did not make a penalty and the game continued.

Fabiano was agitated, kept signaling that it was a handball, and then was sent off for complaining to the referee.

Ten dozen eleven, 3:6, the people of St. Paul seem to have seen the verdict of fate.

Alvarez had to make an immediate adjustment.

The commentators from Sao Paulo State and Rio State gave different interpretations of this substitution.

"The Sao Paulo team has to make a substitution. They are still three goals behind their opponents... Is Alvarez crazy? He actually replaced Kaka. What they need now is a striker who can bring goals, not a midfielder. Even if this player has just won the World Youth Championship for us, you must know that Kaka won the World Youth Championship. The Golden Globe Award, not the Golden Boot Award."

"Kaka replaced another Fabiano, and Alvarez replaced a defensive midfielder with an unprofessional striker. It seems that there is something wrong with his head, but we all know that Kaka played in this position. His speed and shooting skills are not worse than any striker."

One of the two Fabianos in the Sao Paulo team was sent off and the other was replaced. The most direct impact was that Baptista became a single midfielder.

Baptista had to reduce his forward penetration and concentrate on defense, so this change not only affected Sao Paulo's defense, but also directly weakened Sao Paulo's attack power.

Kaka stood alone at the front of the team, feeling a little strange.

Although he has been on the front line before, he mostly played as a second striker. It is rare for such a person to face all the defensive pressure.

But the reality has no time for him to adapt.

Almost as soon as Kaka was in place, Sao Paulo had another great opportunity.

It was still Leonardo's pass, but this time it was a very fast through ball.

Kaka showed his rawness in the forward position, quickly started to get the football, but fell into the opponent's offside trap.

Instead of arguing with the referee in vain, he just gave Leonardo a thumbs up, indicating that it was a good shot, and then spent five honor points in exchange for a Inzaghi star card.

Skill: Lightning Strike (increases shooting technique and anti-offside success rate).

Talent: marksman instinct.

Kaka glanced at his attribute table.

After this period of training and actual combat, his shooting skills have changed from the initial 76 to 78, and now it has directly increased to 82 with the addition of the lightning strike.

Still on the low side.

But the so-called shooting technique is originally a general term. After all, shooting skills include too much, such as long-range shooting, strafing, poking, lobbing, volleying, etc. If it is subdivided, Kaka's long-range shooting is at least 90 or above, and headers may not be 70. In fact, timing is more important in shooting goals, so the value does not represent his real shooting ability.

Flamengo didn't let down their vigilance against Kaka because of Kaka's first attack failure. On the contrary, they became more vigilant because of the starting speed he showed just now, and their defense against him was so tight.

But soon this rigor unknowingly relaxed.

One is that they inevitably became careless because of the large lead in the score, and the other is that Kaka's presence is too weak.

Like being invisible.

Although there will be actions such as retreating to respond and helping teammates with the ball, but there is no threat at all, no different from a passerby.

Flamengo's defenders had a feeling that Sao Paulo State's No. [-] star was nothing more than that. Although they kept reminding themselves rationally not to underestimate Kaka, they still ignored him subconsciously.

This unconscious neglect almost cost them.

It was the 8th minute after Kaka came on the field. Baptista made a destructive big-foot clearance from the backcourt and flew directly into the Flamengo penalty area. Except for the goalkeeper who was slowly preparing to catch the ball, other Flamengo players didn't take it seriously.

As a result, Kaka suddenly appeared behind the football like a flash, and easily scored the goal with the goalkeeper's bewildered expression.

Just as Kaka was about to enter the goal to get the ball, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded.

Not the goal post, but the foul post.

"Kaka! He suddenly appeared in the penalty area and scored the ball into Flamengo's ball... Wait, offside again? Let's see the replay... Is this an offside? Kaka is almost standing on the same line as the last defender. Baptista's solution... When the pass came, he immediately turned and chased the ball. Even through the replay, it is difficult for us to judge whether the ball is offside. It can be seen that the assistant referee was also very entangled and hesitated for a while before raising the flag."

"Kaka was offside for the second time and he was about to complete his offside hat-trick. We know that Alvarez has a lot of trust in him, but this trust should not be unconditional. You can occasionally let a midfielder play as a striker, but you can't pin your hopes on a midfielder when the main striker is sent off. Kaka does have what it takes to be a striker, but he is obviously used to hiding behind others..."

Kaka protested to the referee this time, and Leonardo also came up to put pressure on the referee, but with the lessons learned from Fabiano, the attitude of the two was quite mild, mainly because the referee had a sense of guilt of "maybe I was really wrong".

The offside just now was actually between the judgment and non-judgment. The referee couldn't see clearly at all. The basis for the judgment was mainly from the line referee, so the referee himself was not very firm, so he politely persuaded them to go back.

It was just an ordinary offside foul, the Flamengo people showed gratitude, the Sao Paulo people showed regret, and then quickly put the ball behind them.

Only Flamengo coach Zagallo looked dignified.

This old coach who has won the Hercules Cup as a player and a coach is definitely a legend in world football. His vision is first-class and vicious. He has seen the kind of front-door awareness shown by Kaka too much.

Amateur striker?To hell!This enviably young little guy is definitely a little fox.

A forbidden fox.
