Chapter 30 Bigfoot Relief?

Although the Guarani football team and Sao Paulo are in the same state of Sao Paulo, they are two different cities.

Guarani Football Club is in the city of Campinas, north of Sao Paulo.

Guarani's home stadium, the Brink de Oro da Princesa Stadium, is located in the east of Campinas. It is an old stadium that can accommodate more than 3 fans. It was built in 1953.

The biggest feature of this stadium is the East Stand. A towering curved stand is located on the first floor of the stand. The slope is very steep and the field of vision for watching the ball is very good. However, sitting on it will always give people the illusion that "maybe you will fall straight upside down if you lean forward".

About 3 fans from both sides came to the stadium, which can accommodate more than [-] people.For the capacity of this stadium, it is not enough to see, most of the stands are empty.

This is the current state of Brazilian football.

With the exception of a very few teams, the home courts of most other teams are often empty.

Due to the incompetence of the Brazilian state football associations, the organization of domestic competitions is chaotic.In addition, all the well-known Brazilian players have gone to play in Europe, and there are not many stars who have enough box office appeal in Brazil, so everyone is not very interested in their own country's league.

Another very important reason is that Brazil's TV broadcasting is very developed, especially in broadcasting European football.

So most of the pitches appear empty.

Even Sao Paulo's Morombi Stadium is no exception. Only in important games like the "Majestic Derby" does it have an [-]% attendance rate.

In the humble locker room of the visiting team, Osvaldo Oliveira was taking the time to give the players final instructions.

"Our way of playing in this game is very simple, that is, to shrink the defense and then counterattack quickly. When you have the ball at your feet, it is very simple, just kick the football forward with your big foot! Find Rong! Don't pass the football to his feet, pass it in front of him, and kick forward hard. We would rather send it to the opponent's goalkeeper with great strength than to pass it to Rong's feet. Let Rong run and let him increase his speed!"

If it hadn't been for a week of cooperation, the Sao Paulo players would definitely think their head coach was crazy-how could there be such a tactic?

But in a week of joint training, everyone realized that this seemingly amateurish tactic is the most suitable for Sao Paulo at present.

Fabiano was still the main attacker in the game against Corinthians, and this game has to be a foil for Rong Guang.His task on the court is to help Rongguang attract the opponent's defensive firepower.

From the outset, head coach Osvaldo Oliveira made it clear that glory was the protagonist of this match against Guarani.

Everyone else has to circle around him.

It sounds nonsense to let a rookie who has only been in football for more than a month be the protagonist and lead the stars of the entire Sao Paulo first team.

But after seeing Rongguang's eye-shattering speed and performance against Corinthians, no one in Sao Paulo's first team will object -- at least not in front of coach Osvaldo.

But it is precisely because no one else can think of this that Sao Paulo has an opportunity.

Now Sao Paulo is seriously injured and his strength has been greatly damaged.The top management of the club didn't mention defending the title anymore, but they also required the team to reach the semi-finals and qualify for the semi-finals.

In order to achieve this goal, we must start to grab points from now on.

The victory of every game is very important to Sao Paulo. Sao Paulo must grab every three-pointer, and grab it by any means.

What is amateur football?Win as long as you can!

"Yunyun, the game is about to start, don't you want to watch it?" Cui Hao was sitting in his spacious living room, watching the live broadcast of the match between Sao Paulo and Guarani. He asked curiously when he saw his daughter get up and leave.

As a Corinthians fan, he actually watched the Sao Paulo game so actively. Glory really had a great influence on him...

Corell snorted: "Kaka is injured, what else is there to watch in the game?"

"But there is glory." Cui Hao pointed to the TV screen, and the TV broadcast happened to give Rongguang a close-up shot.

The commentator Ka Furui is also introducing Rong Guang with this close-up: "The Chinese player Rong who turned out in the last 'Majestic Derby' has encountered many doubts and caused a lot of controversy in the past week. There are debates about whether he is a genius. But I think this game may put an end to this debate. Because of Kaka's injury and his outstanding performance against Corinthians, Rong won the first chance to start the game... Let us wait and see how he will perform! "

"Who wants to watch him!" Corell yelled dissatisfiedly, turned and walked straight to the stairs, she was going upstairs to her room, she wouldn't pay attention to the boring games without Kaka!
※※※

Although the stadium was not full and was still two-thirds empty, the momentum of 1 people was quite astonishing.Anyway, it was amazing for a mountain boy like Rong Guang who had never seen the world.

However, he just looked around the stands when he came on the field, and then he didn't worry about it - he has experienced the "solemn derby", and he still cares about this game?

In the first 15 minutes of the game, Sao Paulo had three chances to attack, of which he got one, but failed to grasp it.

The football fell right under his feet and came to a complete stop.For Rong Guang, who had no dribbling skills, the offense was considered to be over.

He tried to go out with the ball, but his feet were so sloppy that he almost got in a cart.

Possession of the ball is naturally lost.

Guarani fans roared with laughter from the stands.

After the "Solemn Derby", Rong Guang has become a celebrity in Sao Paulo. When his name is mentioned, everyone knows who it is.

Before, the media had been saying that Rong Guang was a rookie who had learned football for more than a month, and some people were skeptical. Now that Rong Guang almost got on a golf cart and tripped over his own ball, no one doubted it anymore—this kid is really a beginner who just learned football!
Corinthians was actually defeated by such a rookie, it was really shameful.

※※※

"This idiot!" Corell's cold snort sounded from behind Cui Hao.

Cui Hao, who was still feeling sorry for Rongguang's mistake, turned his head and found his daughter standing behind him, staring at the TV screen with a look of disdain.

"Hey, Yunyun, didn't you go upstairs?" Cui Hao was very surprised.

"I want to see how embarrassing he is!" Corell snorted, pointing at Glory on the TV.

Cui Hao smiled and shook his head.

He knows his daughter very well, what he says is often different from what he thinks in his heart...

※※※

"Rong almost tripped over the ball at his own feet, and his poor performance caused the fans in the stands to burst into laughter... After he was born in the game against Corinthians, he was given a big start by the media. Everyone knew that he had only been in contact with formal football training for more than a month, and he was a pure rookie. The outstanding performance in the game against Corinthians may be just luck. What makes people wonder is why Osvaldo Oliveira insisted on letting him start..." Yeke Cafu Rui's explanation is very calm and objective, the analysis is clear and logical, and the information is very detailed, but the shortcoming is that it lacks a little passion.

In contrast, Bueno's commentary is much more ignited.

"After saving the team in the game against Corinthians, Rong was scouted by the media in all directions. Now everyone knows that he is a rookie. Rookie, you have lost the veil of mystery and been exposed to this cruel professional world. Are you ready? Are you ready to meet the challenge? If you are not ready, you will die miserably! Being laughed at is just the slightest setback! Now it is too late to quit!"

※※※

How could Rongguang quit? He walked out of the mountain village with his manager Godot, and he didn't plan to go back in disgrace.

Almost tripped, he just cursed "asshole" in his heart, and then rejoined the game.

There was no emotional impact.

He is not the kind of person who will never forget about setbacks and failures, and will never get out.

What kind of environment raises what kind of people, the boy from the mountain village who plays and runs happily in the mountains has the simplest mentality and cheerful personality. His heart is like the vast sky and mountains. How can he be broken so easily?

Just as he never cared about the noise made by hostile fans in the stands, so naturally he didn't care about the laughter.

Although it was an away game, Gordo followed the team to Campinas.He has to watch every game of Rongguang on the spot. If there is any problem, he can also appear by Rongguang's side as soon as possible.

When he saw Rong Guang almost tripping over his own ball in the stands, and heard the unfriendly laughter from the stands, he frowned.

I hope this mistake will not affect Rongguang, and it will not be a bad omen.

※※※

Grayson was sitting in the media booth with a laptop in front of him, and when he saw that Rong Guang was riding a golf cart, he laughed.

Then he spread his hands and said to the other reporters beside him, "See? Did you see? What did I say? A rookie, a complete rookie, would a genius ride a ball cart? It's ugly!"

There were echoing sneers from those approving reporters.

Rong Guang's performance just now was indeed embarrassing, and he did not show the talent that "Lance News" touted at all.

Clumsy like a layman.

On the other side, Coelho Costa couldn't help laughing when he saw Rong Guang's embarrassing scene.

But his laugh was not a sneer.

Instead, she was simply amused by the glory.

this kid...

Obviously I haven't learned it yet, but I want to do it.

He obviously has a brilliant talent, but he behaves like a rookie.

※※※

Rongguang's poor performance seemed to affect Sao Paulo's offense. After that, Sao Paulo didn't get any good offensive opportunities for a full 10 minutes. Both Rongguang and Luis Fabiano could only cruise in the midfield and defend symbolically.

Instead, Guarani, who played at home, took advantage of the home field and kept the situation in his own hands.

They learned the lesson of Corinthians. Although they were playing against Sao Paulo, they did not give Sao Paulo's midfielders as much space to take the ball as Corinthians did.

If they lose the ball in the frontcourt, they will quickly launch a press in the frontcourt, or directly steal the ball and then counterattack, even if they can't break it, they can interfere with Sao Paulo's counterattack.

Unlike Corinthians, Guarani did not make any defense against Rongguang. On the contrary, they attached great importance to Sao Paulo's midfielder Baptista and striker Luis Fabiano, especially Baptista.After the midfield playmaker Ricardinho and Kaka were both injured, Baptista took over the responsibility of organizing the offense. In the last Sao Paulo game against Corinthians, he once instigated Fabiano's goal.

Guarani believes that Sao Paulo's counterattack is threatening because of Baptista.

As long as Baptista is restrained, the connection between him and Rongguang is cut off, and he is not allowed to easily send the football to Rongguang, it will be useless no matter how fast Rongguang is.

At present, the game has been going on for more than 20 minutes. Judging from the scene, the effect is not bad.

Guarani's head coach Giba (Giba) is on the coach's bench, with his arms folded and a faint smile on his face, looking calm and confident.

To deal with a rookie, there is really no need to spend a lot of trouble, this is enough.

A rookie who can only pass and catch the ball, and can't even shoot, the goals against Corinthians are all due to luck.What's the use of letting him get the ball in the frontcourt?Look at how embarrassed he almost tripped over his football just now...

Jiba is not worried about Rongguang's shooting, because he made it very clear during the reporter's interview that Rongguang has not started shooting training at all!
Grayson's analysis is also very clear. Rongguang's goal against Corinthians was blinded by luck!

Such a player, you give him the ball, he can't shoot the goal!

So there is no need to be too nervous.

Being too nervous will only lead Guarani's players to mistake the real threat.

The real threat was Luis Fabiano, Baptista.

If Osvaldo puts the rookie on the bench and uses it as a surprise soldier, he may have to worry about when he doesn't know when to make a move.

Now... the problem is simpler.

Jiba believes that the rookie does not have the ability to start from the beginning and play the full nine 10 minutes of the game.

※※※

Under the frontcourt of the Guarani players, the Sao Paulo players were really embarrassed when they went forward to counterattack. In many cases, they could only kick forward with a big foot. This is not like a counterattack, but more like a bigfoot.

Then let Rong Guang and Luis Fabiano chase after him, time and time again in vain.

In Jiba's eyes, such an offense cannot be called an "offense" at all.

There is no technical content at all.

He couldn't help but despise Osvaldo in his heart. How can you say that you are also the famous coach who led Corinthians to the Club World Cup... How could you use such a mentally retarded tactic?
No, is this a tactic?

This is not a tactic at all!
Just open your feet like this, just want to score a goal?
This is an insult to me, to Guarani, to football tactics!

He snorted directly.

At this time, Guarani launched an attack in the frontcourt. When he hit the Sao Paulo penalty area, the pass was intercepted by right back Belletti, and then bounced to the middle.

Central defender Lugano rushed up and kicked the football to the frontcourt with a big kick!
Another bigfoot rescue!

When Jiba saw this funny scene again, he couldn't help but sneered.

Do you think this is a track and field?

This is football!

Is football just about running fast? !

Do not make jokes!
But at this moment, Jiba saw a scene that surprised him - a football kicked into the front field by Lugano's seemingly random big foot, followed by a running figure!

What the hell is going on here?
He stood up abruptly from his seat.

But suddenly he sat down covering his head——his head hit the sunshade of the coach bench...
