Chapter 16 The Arrangement of Fate

The fierce competition came to a standstill with a sharp whistle.

Tens of thousands of Sao Paulo fans in the stands of Morombi Stadium in Sao Paulo were all looking at the center of the stadium at this time, not saying a word.

You must know that just a few seconds ago, among them, especially the female fans, were screaming loudly, because their idol, Kaka, was rushing with the ball.They are cheering for their idols.

But now most of them kept covering their mouths with their hands, with dull and terrified expressions.

It seemed that they couldn't believe what they had just seen.

Just a few seconds ago, Kaka, who was dribbling the ball at high speed, suddenly stopped and gave up chasing the ball.

Without confrontation, he slowed down suddenly.

Seeing the football rolling farther and farther in front of him, he stopped, showing no intention of catching up.

He clutched the muscles at the back of his thigh with a pained expression.

Any fool could see that he was hurt.

"Kaka is injured... Look at this, Kaka can't last the game! It's so tragic! Not only Kaka, but also Sao Paulo! Poor Kaka, poor Sao Paulo! Such an important game, but encountered such a nightmare in the opening three and 10 minutes!" Galvan Bueno, the commentator of Universal TV, exclaimed in his signature exaggerated way.

"São Paulo's luck is really bad...Before their 'majestic derby' with Corinthians, the news about whether Kaka can recover from injury in time has attracted much attention. When Kaka returned to the training ground after the game against Bangu, Brafonda's scene was spectacular! It seems that with Kaka, Sao Paulo can beat Corinthians in this game...But now, Kaka only played for three 10 minutes and strained his thigh muscle... This is a huge blow to Sao Paulo." A commentator from Universal Television's main competitor, Banner TV, Jacques Caffrey, used his calm analysis to point out the current plight of Sao Paulo.

"Valdemar de Oliveira was dismissed by the club after Sao Paulo's 0:5 defeat to Fluminense. Then Sao Paulo dug Osvaldo Oliveira from Fluminense. I hope that this coach who has a short coaching career but has many champions can lead Sao Paulo out of the trough. But it is a pity that Osvaldo led Sao Paulo in the first game. He lost to Rio's underdog Bangu in the away game because of a serious lineup. Corinthians, Corinthians are currently ranked No. [-] in the league, leading the second Palmeiras by four points..."

Caffrey is still talking.

The referee has suspended the game.

Jose Sanchez, Sao Paulo's team medical chief, rushed onto the pitch.

Sao Paulo's new coach, Osvaldo Oliveira, was anxiously pacing on the sidelines.

If Kaka is injured again, it will be a double blow to the strength and morale of the team.

Jose Sanchez, the head of the Sao Paulo team doctor who went up, quickly made a substitution gesture to Osvaldo off the field. Kaka must not be able to persist in the game, and the team must change as soon as possible.

Damn!

Osvaldo cursed in his heart.

If he loses two games in a row, especially if he loses the "Majestic Derby", it will be really difficult to explain, maybe he will follow in Valdemar's footsteps.

When Osvaldo was at a loss in front of the coach's bench, there was a burst of gloating singing from the originally silent stands.

Following the prestige, the singing came from the stands of the visiting team.

In the stands of the visiting team, there is a huge flag with the red Corinthians crest on a black background, and in front of the crest is a huge eagle head, above the flag is the word "Eagle".

This is Corinthians... no, it is the "Loyal Eagles", the largest fan organization in Brazil.

They are the most die-hard fans of Corinthians, but they are also the most controversial fan organization in Brazil.

Some are similar to Lazio's "unteachable faction".

Being able to create such a big battle in the away game shows the strength of the "loyalty eagle", and also explains the recent decline of Sao Paulo from the side - his home court is occupied by others...

These Corinthians' most loyal fans were singing and mocking Osvaldo Oliveira.

"Your champion is given to you by Corinthians! You are nothing without Corinthians! You are nothing!!"

Osvaldo de Oliveira once coached in Corinthians, or the first team he coached in his coaching career was Corinthians.

In 1999, at the age of 49, he coached Corinthians and won the Sao Paulo State First Division Championship in his first season.

In the same year, he also won the Brazilian National League Championship.

The following year, in 2000, he led Corinthians to defeat the European giants in Brazil, aspired to the first World Club Cup and became the world champion!

Such brilliant results should allow him to coach in Corinthians for a long time, at least not just for one and a half years.

But in the second half of 2000, after leading the team to the Club World Cup, he left Corinthians.

Because his relationship with the "loyal eagle" is very bad.

As the most powerful fan organization in Brazil, the "Loyalty Eagles" can even exert influence on teams and clubs.

When the team does not perform well, they will directly attack the bus the team is riding on as a threat.

They will also directly break into the locker room and beat Corinthians players who dare to disrespect Corinthians jerseys.

Their power is so great that they can force the club's board of directors to bow to their demands.

Because they had a conflict with Osvaldo Oliveira, they put pressure on the club to fire Osvaldo Oliveira.

Corinthians' board of directors couldn't bear their pressure, and after firing Oliveira, they called him to apologize and explain.

"Loyalty Eagles" are especially happy to see the bad luck of someone they hate.

Osvaldo Oliveira's bewildered look made them very happy.

They laughed at Oliveira loudly, everyone who left Corinthians had better end up with nothing!

Oliveira's fate will make those who offended the "loyal eagles" think carefully. Are the "eagles" worthy of offending them?
In the mocking singing of the "loyal eagle", Osvaldo Oliveira set his sights on the bench.

No matter what, I have to change myself...

His eyes flashed across the faces of the substitute players with different expressions.

The expressions on most of the players' faces were distressed - like what Sao Paulo is currently suffering, distressed, even hopeless.

Finally, his gaze rested on Rong Guang's face.

that Chinese.

Unlike the teammates around him, his eyes are shining like stars in the sky.

He thought of Rongguang's speed, his momentum...

At this time, although Sao Paulo has not conceded the ball, but looking at these people on the bench, they have an expression of "we have already lost".

Of course, according to the rules, anyone who understands football can see that Sao Paulo is indeed in a desperate situation.The lineup was not neat at first, and now the main core is still injured, how can we play this game?
Rong Guang is a novice, and his understanding of football is not deep enough.

but……

Osvaldo thought of the youth team match he watched.An opportunity that everyone who knows football would choose to give up, but Rong Guangsheng chased it back...

Perhaps it is this kind of novice who knows nothing that can rewrite people's common sense. When faced with "impossible...", he can create "possible!" Because he knows nothing, he is the least constrained.

At a time like this, maybe what I need is this... newcomer?
He reached out and hooked his hands towards Rong Guang: "You, go warm up!"

The Sao Paulo fans in the stands fell silent.

The waving flag had already drooped at this time.

Kaka is the savior of the team and the guarantee for Sao Paulo to beat Corinthians at home.Sao Paulo fans pinned all their hopes of beating Corinthians on him.

Unexpectedly, he only lasted for three 10 minutes before being injured again...

The Corinthians fans kept singing and provoking in the stands.

But this time, few Sao Paulo fans fought back resolutely.

They are worried about Kaka's injury and the fate of Sao Paulo in this game.

Could it be another 0:5 fiasco?
The game against Fluminense came back to their minds.

These desperate Sao Paulo fans only saw Kaka limping towards the sidelines at this time. They didn't notice a strange face at all. After a short warm-up, they had returned to the coach's bench. The head coach Osvaldo Oliveira was pulling him face-to-face.

Only Rongguang's manager Godot noticed, because from the time Rongguang was called up to warm up, his eyes never left Rongguang.

He saw Osvaldo pulling him and talking to him.

His eyes widened.

What he joked before the game turned out to be true in the end!

Rong Guang is really going to play in such an important game!
This world is so crazy... I can't keep up?

This……

Rong Guang got the chance to play in this game, and Godot no longer knew whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

He was worried that Rong Guang would be overwhelmed by the enormous pressure, but deep down in his heart, he felt lucky—what if this kid really succeeded?Isn't this what you want?After so many months of hard work and dedication, I begged my grandpa to tell my grandma everywhere, didn't I just hope that Rongguang could succeed and be famous?

Seeing Rong Guang who was eager to try on the sidelines, Gordo felt complicated.
