Chapter 43 Why Him Again? (recommended)
"Rong, go warm up!" Mauro ran to the bench, pointed to the warm-up area, and shouted to Rong Guang who was sitting on the bench with other teammates.

Reynaldo was also sitting on the bench. When he watched the assistant coach come over, he thought he would ask himself to warm up and then come off the bench...

Isn't this critical moment just a stage for me to play?

It's time to turn the tide by yourself!
When he was fantasizing like this, he didn't expect Mauro to call out the truly glorious name.

He froze for a moment, and withdrew from his fantasy.

Then he watched Rong Guang quickly put on his vest and run to warm up.

His eyes narrowed in an instant—why is that kid again? !
Even though his performance was so poor, why did he still get the opportunity to come off the bench every time? !
Where is he? !

What role can he play?
Can he still score goals and help the team seal the victory?

Do not make jokes!
※※※

Seeing Rong Guang running from the bench and running to warm up, Gordo knew that Rong Guang was about to be replaced again.

Such a scene can be seen in the last two games.

There are 15 minutes left to warm up, and it is estimated that there will be 10 minutes of playing time in the end.

But why was he replaced at this time?

Want Rongguang to score a goal?

Santos is not an idiot either, he would allow Glory to attack their defenses...

But in any case, there is always another chance to play.

Although the time is a little short, you have to perform well, Rong!

※※※

In the 5-minute warm-up time, Sao Paulo was still being beaten by Santos.

During this process, Diego's kick from outside the penalty area hit the crossbar, which aroused the screams of the fans on both sides.

"Crossbar! How unlucky! Santos almost equalized!"

But even the sudden uproar didn't distract Rong Guang. He was concentrating on warming up.He kept in mind what the coach said to himself, if you don't warm up well, you will get injured!

Although Diego's kick didn't score, it made Santos even more crazy, as if he saw a goal right in front of him.They are red-eyed!
Kaka no longer has the ability to bring football to the frontcourt. He can only retreat and defend like other teammates, using his body to block Santos' offense.

※※※

In the 5th minute, Rong Guang was finally called back by Mauro.

Time was running out, so Osvaldo did not give Rong Guang a detailed explanation of how to do it with a tactical board, but just asked him: "Santos is pressing us to play, so they have a lot of space in the backcourt. You know how to do it, Rong Guang?"

Rong Guang nodded.

It's the same as playing Corinthians!

Sure enough, only I can save St. Paul!hum!

"Very well, then play!"

Osvaldo patted Rong Guang on the back and pushed him out.

※※※

When the fourth official held up the substitution sign on the sidelines, Corell noticed that Rong Guang could only be next to the fourth official.

That bastard is coming off the bench again?
Then she heard the little friends around her exclaiming: "What's going on?!"

"Why is Kaka replaced?!"

Only then did she notice that one of the numbers displayed on the sign held by the fourth official was 8 and the other was 33.The former is Kaka's number, and the latter is Rongguang's number.

Glory replaced Kaka!
"Asshole! Why did you replace my Kaka? Does the head coach of Sao Paulo not want to win?! Now only Kaka can bring victory to Sao Paulo!"

"It's that nasty Chinese again! Why did he replace Kaka?! Is he better than Kaka?"

Corell opened his mouth wide and didn't understand the substitution.

However, she still didn't scold directly like her partners around her.

※※※

No matter how those Kaka fans cursed, they couldn't change the result.

After the tired Kaka turned his head and saw the substitution sign, he froze for a moment, then frowned.

Obviously he didn't want to be replaced.

Especially when the team is in crisis.

However, the good boy Kaka did not disobey the arrangement of the head coach, and slowly walked off the court.

It's not that he's really too tired to run, he just wants to spend a little more time for his team.He is a good boy and a devout believer of God, but that doesn't mean he won't make reasonable use of the rules and play tricks...

The Santos fans in the stands were very dissatisfied with Kaka's move, and they booed loudly.

Rong Guang on the sidelines kept bouncing around, like a tiger about to be released from the cage, eager to get out.

He's very upset with Kaka - you're wasting my playing time, bastard!
Rong Guang naturally didn't understand why Kaka did this, and thought that Kaka was targeting him...

Who told him to be a rookie who has only been in contact with football for more than three months?
※※※

Finally Kaka walked to the sidelines, Rong Guang didn't even have a few chapters with him, and ran directly onto the court.

This made Kaka, who was planning to give Rong Guang a high-five, a little embarrassed.

But Kaka's reaction was fast enough, and he immediately raised his hands and waved to the fans in the stands.

He was met with even louder boos from the Santos fans.

And the cries of Sao Paulo's female fans: "Don't leave, Kaka—!"

Their cries were useless, and Kaka finally walked off the field.

"If Sao Paulo loses this game, you will be responsible!" those angry fans yelled at the head coach Osvaldo who stood on the sidelines and stretched out his hand to Kaka.

Osvaldo was comforting Kaka: "You did your best, Kaka. Let's have a good rest."

Kaka wanted to say something, but seeing Osvaldo's expression, he finally swallowed the words.

After shaking hands with the coach, he walked back to the bench and sat next to Reynaldo.

"Osvaldo must be crazy!" Renaldo leaned forward and complained for Kaka in a low voice. "That rookie has been studied thoroughly, what can he do?"

Kaka didn't say a word, but stared at the court, and his eyes fell on Rong Guang.

※※※

"At the No.80 minute, Sao Paulo made their last substitution of the game. Osvaldo replaced Kaka with Rong! Kaka was exhausted in the previous game, and it was not an incomprehensible behavior to be replaced. But replacing Rong... this substitution is debatable..." Bueno said.

"Replacing Rong, obviously wanted to use his speed to attack Santos' defense and try to score a goal to seal the victory. As long as Sao Paulo leads Santos by two goals, they will win the game. But now Rong's characteristics have been thoroughly studied. It is easy to limit him. Such a substitution is meaningless..." Even Caffery thinks so.

The telecast gave Sao Paulo coach Osvaldo Oliveira a close-up as the two commentators questioned.Using the language of the camera to express the point of view of the TV broadcast - what is Osvaldo, the famous coach, thinking about replacing Kaka at this time and replacing him with rookie glory?

"Stupid! Completely stupid!" Grayson snorted in the media seats. "If Sao Paulo fails to keep the top four in the end, this substitution will definitely be the last straw for him to get out of class!"

At the other end of the media booth, Coelho saw the substitution, straightened his body, leaned forward slightly, and stared more intently at the court, or more precisely, at Rong Guang...

He always felt that Osvaldo would not be such an idiot, knowing that Rongguang would be easily frozen by the opponent, and let Rongguang come up to waste a substitution.

Osvaldo would do this, there must be his reasons.

"Mr. Oliveira's substitution is really unpredictable... What does he want to do?" Other reporters who were also from the "Lance News" were also very puzzled.

"Keep an eye on Rong."

They were all surprised when they heard Coelho suddenly say such a sentence. They turned their heads to look at Coelho.

Keep an eye on Rong?
What are you doing watching Ron?
Is there any secret about him?

But Coelho is a well-known reporter in Brazil and the director of the football department of "Reims". Obviously, his words cannot be questioned by other "Reims" reporters.Since he asked to stare at Rong, let's also stare at Rong, and see what clues we can see...

※※※

After Rong Guang came on the field, he stood in the position of the attacking midfielder. Only forward Luis Fabiano was ahead of him.

He kept raising his hands, signaling his teammates to pass the football to him, and he didn't feel at all that as a rookie, he should take less of the ball.

Sao Paulo launched an attack, because Kaka was off the field, this attack was layered forward.Ricardinho holds the ball and pushes it a little over the halfway line.

Sao Paulo's offense is finally showing signs of recovery.

As long as Santos can be suppressed on offense, Sao Paulo's goal will be relatively safe.

Even Fabiano rushed to the top of the opponent's free throw arc, which shows how powerful Sao Paulo's offense is.

This was something that rarely happened in the previous ten minutes.

So glorious that he didn't continue to stand in front, but retreated to find Ricardinho for the ball-after three games, he also knew that he would die if he rushed to the closest place to the goal, and there was no room for him to display his speed.

So he took the initiative to retreat.

Seeing Rong Guang do this in the stands, Gordo was relieved.

This is a correct and smart choice. Rongguang did learn something in these three "failed" games.

"Good job." Osvaldo nodded when he saw this scene.

Mauro smiled.

This rookie is improving every game...

※※※

Because Rongguang retreated, Santos' players did not follow up to defend him.Dealing with Rongguang is very simple, just stick to the backcourt, don't give him a blow to penetrate the defense line, and just go straight to the space in the penalty area.

So don't follow up, because if you follow up, he will use the space behind you instead.Just stick to the restricted area.No matter how he can run, he will be no threat if he has no space to sprint in front of the penalty area-as far as his dribbling ability is concerned, there is no way he can pass anyone without the space to sprint!

Ricardinho didn't intend to give football glory.But he found that there were no Santos players around Rongguang, and he was the best passer.On the contrary, he himself faced harassment from Santos player Elano (later the Brazil international in the Dunga era).

So he quickly passed the football over.

Of course, he is also very particular about the follow-up effect of the pass.In view of the characteristics of Rongguang, he did not directly pass the football to Rongguang's feet, but passed an advance amount so that Rongguang could catch the ball while running and play his speed.

Although it may not be useful, it is better than letting him hold the ball in place.

Rong Guang ran forward and caught the ball.

Then he thought of running and wrestling on the boulevard of the lakeside park with a football tied under his feet.

He has wrestled less and less recently...

A bold idea popped up in his mind——

I'm going to give it a try!
He kicks the football with his right foot.The moment he touched the ball, his body remembered the feeling from the special training, although it was only for a moment!

Then he wades the football out!

The football did not go ten meters away, but rolled within two meters in front of him, not far from glory!
In terms of Rongguang's speed, that is a very suitable distance.It can keep him from slowing down, and it won't let him out of control of the football!
"Huh?" Osvaldo and Mauro on the coach's bench exclaimed in low voices at the same time.

Rong Guang's dribble completely exceeded their expectations!
Coelho in the media booth also opened his eyes wide.

It seems... different from the rookie I saw before?

※※※

Rong Guang was ecstatic in his heart——I succeeded!i did it!Ah ha ha!i did it!
The momentary smugness made him forget to control the rhythm of his body.So with the second kick, he waded the football ten meters away...he waded again!

"This idiot!"

Seeing this scene, Godot in the stands couldn't help shouting and cursing loudly, startling the people next to him.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of Mauro and Osvaldo were unexpectedly the same—they all lowered their heads, unable to bear to witness.

It looks like it was just a hallucination...

Coelho in the media seat laughed.

Oh, as expected of a rookie...

Shrinking the defense in front of Rongguang, Santos central defender Alex (later playing for PSV Eindhoven, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain) who was going to intercept Rongguang, did not expect that the football would be directly at his feet by Rongguang, and he was stunned for a while before he realized it.

"Thank you." He quickly passed the football to the midfielder Diego who came back to meet him.

Santos launched a quick counterattack!
At the same time, Santos fans roared with laughter from the stands.

"Hahahaha! That idiot!"

"Good pass! No. 33 in Sao Paulo!"

"Nice job, undercover!"

Corell and the others were also yelling at Rong Guang: "Do you think you are Kaka? An idiot!"

"Bastard, where are you from?!"

"Come on!" Rong Guang didn't care about the laughter and cursing in the stands, he cursed in a low voice while turning around and chasing after him!
Never lose the ball because of yourself again!
