Chapter 29
Rong Guang let the coaches of the first team see the speed of his learning, almost as fast as he can run.

Two days later, Rong Guang's shot was rarely high, and he made sure to keep the ball down.

The practice of fixed shooting has also become the practice of shooting on the move.

Rocha passed the football from behind to the front of Rongguang, and Rongguang accelerated to run up, and after receiving the ball, he shot while running.

Two days before the start of the game, the goalkeeper has been added to the training.

The team's substitute goalkeeper, Flavio, will cooperate with Rongguang's training.

In addition to the necessary training items with the team, Rongguang has been doing this training all the time.

His progress surprised Rocha, who taught him, and surprised his teammates.

It even surprised the head coach of the first team, Osvaldo Oliveira.

By the time of the last day of training, Rongguang's shooting practice had already begun to conduct forced training!

It stands to reason that the prerequisite for forced training is that players have mastered the technique, which means that Rongguang must at least learn how to shoot, otherwise the value of forced training will be lost.

If Rongguang can't even do basic shooting, your forced training will only make him worse.

Right now, Rong Guang is doing persecution training in a square area of ​​twenty by twenty yards.Four players in the four corners kept passing the ball to Rongguang, allowing him to complete the shot.

Rong Guang was in the central area of ​​the field. Under the command of coach Rocha, the players in the four corners began to pass the ball to him. However, whether to pass the ground ball or the air ball was decided by the passing players themselves, and even the coach did not interfere.Rongguang must choose technical actions according to different situations to complete the shot.

If you don't know the basic skills of shooting, there is no way to practice at all.

Although Rong Guang is still a little flustered, it can be seen that the number of mistakes he makes is decreasing, and he has indeed mastered the shooting skills.

This surprised even the four teammates who cooperated with him in training.

They clearly remember what Rong Guang's shot looked like when the training started on the first day of this week.

"Rong's progress is really as fast as the youth team coach said, amazingly fast!" Assistant coach Mauro sighed. "Same speed as he runs!"

Osvaldo Oliveira did not speak, but watched the glory training very intently.

Although there was only one day of forced training, the time was too short, but it was far beyond Osvaldo's expectations to be able to get to this point in the end.

He originally thought that it would be good for Rongguang to master the basic shooting skills in this week.

Who would have thought that Rong Guang's progress was so fast, far beyond his expectations.

But this is also good, if you lead your team to play Guarani away, you will be more confident...

The victory over Corinthians halted a further slide for Sao Paulo, who also moved up one spot to seventh in the Rio-São Paulo Championship.

The Rio Sao Paulo Championship is a very important event in Brazil.

Because the states of Sao Paulo and Rio are the two states with the strongest football strength in Brazil, the famous Brazilian giant organization "Thirteen Club" has [-] giant teams at the beginning, seven of which are concentrated in Sao Paulo and Rio.

As the two most powerful states in Brazil, they naturally have the idea of ​​competing.Is the football in the state of Rio better, or the state of Sao Paulo?
And so the Rio São Paulo Championship was born.

It started in 1933, and was interrupted many times in the middle, and it was once expanded into a national competition.

Now it has returned to the meaning of the name, which is the game between Rio State and Sao Paulo State.

This is one of the most important championships in Brazil.

It is also one of the most important games for the teams of Sao Paulo and Rio.

Due to the intensive competition this season, and considering that there is still a World Cup to be played in the summer, several strong teams in Sao Paulo State have withdrawn from the local league in Sao Paulo State this season, and concentrate on playing the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship.This shows the importance of this event, I would rather give up the state leagues than give up this game...

Since it is a championship, it is naturally not a competition system like a league.

The format of the Rio São Paulo Championship is a single round robin plus knockout.

First, the final ranking of the league is determined by a single round robin, and then the top four are qualified to participate in the semi-finals, where they will compete in two rounds of home and away games.The final two teams are determined to reach the finals and compete for the championship of the championship.

Last season, because of Kaka's sudden emergence, Sao Paulo won the Rio Sao Paulo Championship.As the defending champion this season, Sao Paulo played very hard, mainly because the players were injured too much and the personnel were seriously disorganized.

This has a lot to do with Brazil's competition system.

Brazil's domestic competition system is different from the European competition system that we are all familiar with.

Due to historical reasons, in Brazil, the local football associations developed first before the national football association, so until now, the local football associations are more powerful, and the national football association cannot afford to provoke them.

This may be because in Brazil, football originated for two reasons.

In 1894, Charles Miller disembarked at the port of Santos, holding a football in each hand, and in this way, football was introduced to Sao Paulo.

Almost at the same time, in Rio de Janeiro, another Anglo-Brazilian, Oscar Cox, also brought football to the state of Rio.

So football was first developed in the states of Brazil.

And because Brazil is a vast country with a lot of dense tropical rainforest in the interior, it is impossible for Brazilians to travel long distances to play away games before productivity increases, so national games have not been able to develop in Brazil.

For a long time, each state in Brazil organized its own league.This is how the football leagues in Sao Paulo and Rio started.

Until now, in the minds of Brazilian fans, the leagues of their respective states are more important than the national leagues.In the eyes of those clubs, the same is true.

Because of Brazil's complicated and special situation, Brazil's domestic competition system is also very complicated-in the eyes of Chinese fans, it may be chaos.

In fact, it is also very well summarized.

Brazilian domestic competitions are mainly divided into state leagues and national leagues.The first half of the year is the days of the state leagues, the Sao Paulo State League and the Rio State League. These games are played between January and May in the first half of the year. The same Rio-Sao Paulo Championship is also held in the first half of the year. The time coincides with the state leagues, which is also from January to May.In addition, there is a national cup competition - the Brazil Cup, which is held from February to June.

In addition to domestic competitions, Brazilian clubs also have to participate in South American competitions. The first half of the year is the famous Copa Libertadores.

In the second half of the year, it is time for the Brazilian National League.The world has been playing from mid-May to early December, which happens to be seamlessly connected with the state leagues.In the second half of the year, there is another South American event, which used to be the South American Super Cup and the Mercosur Cup, but this year it has been determined to be the South American Cup, and the time is from August to December.

It can be seen from this that the Brazilian teams, especially those big teams that can participate in South American competitions, how intensive their games have been this year...

Taking Sao Paulo as an example, they have to participate in their own state league in the first half of the year, but also participate in the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship, as well as the Brazilian Cup and the Copa Libertadores.After finishing the state league, the Brazilian National League will start soon.

Such intensive events are the norm in Brazil's domestic football, and many players have not even had a vacation for several years.

This year is the World Cup year, and there is a World Cup in the summer. In order to ensure that the players will not be too tired before the World Cup, the giants in Sao Paulo State have withdrawn from the Sao Paulo State League this season and only participate in the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship.

And after the World Cup is over, the Brazilian National League will rekindle the war. In order to make up for the games that were postponed during the World Cup, there will inevitably be many double matches a week, which will require higher physical fitness for the players.

In such a fatigued situation, extensive injuries are inevitable...

Kaka performed well last season and was the contributor to Sao Paulo's ability to win the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship. He also participated in 27 games in the National League in the second half of last year. Such intensive games made him hardly have a good rest.You must know that he is only 19 years old and his body is still developing. Such a high-intensity game will naturally make him very tired.

Finally accumulated to this year, the injury broke out.

It's not a particularly serious injury at all, just need to rest for a while.

But after he was injured, Sao Paulo's results were hard to say.

Everyone knows that Rong Guang is a beginner, and it is certainly impossible for him to shoulder the important task of replacing Kaka.

So what's next for Sao Paulo?

※※※

The pre-match press conference is held the day before the game.

At the pre-match press conference, Osvaldo Oliveira announced the starting lineup for the match between Sao Paulo and Guarani.

The name of No. 33 Rongguang suddenly appeared on this list.

When the reporters got the list, they were a little surprised.

Although Rongguang performed well in the last game, it helped Sao Paulo beat Corinthians.

But everyone still didn't guess that Rong Guang would become the starter in this game. For a rookie, this promotion speed is too fast, right?Faster than he can run!
After a week of hype, everyone knows what kind of player Rong Guang is. He is a rookie who has only been in football for less than three months. Why is he allowed to start?

He played in the last game because no one was available at the time, so he had to come off the bench.

Even if he performed well, but there is a whole week of preparation time for this game, can't there be a replacement for Kaka and Ricardinho?
The reporters originally thought that Rongguang would continue to enter the 18-man squad for this game, and then Osvaldo Oliveira would decide whether to let Rongguang come off the bench based on the situation on the field.

This is the best practice.

They also plan to observe Rong Guang's performance as a substitute...

But I didn't expect Osvaldo Oliveira to be bolder than they thought, and let this rookie start directly!

The way he came up with to replace Kaka was to help the rookie?

Does he trust rookies that much?
