Chapter 76 Illusions
Being led by such a nonsensical goal is completely unacceptable for Botafogo.

So after the game restarted, they launched a fierce offensive against Sao Paulo's goal, hoping to equalize the score as soon as possible.

It can be said that Rongguang's goal angered them and made them lose their minds.

And it's not just Botafogo's players who lost their minds, but also Botafogo's coach Levi Kupi.

His pre-match tactical arrangements were in place, which can be seen from the fact that Sao Paulo did not have a good way to score at home in the first 10 minutes of the game.

In particular, the vertical breakthrough of Rongguang was contained, which relieved a lot of defensive pressure on the team's goal.

In the first half of the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship, his team also successfully defended the glory.He believed that he had successful experience in curbing Rong Guang, a rookie, and finding a strategy to deal with him did not require any "brain racking".

He has a whole set of mature and perfect methods to deal with this rookie.

But what he never expected was that this rookie actually used a pass like shit to tear open Botafogo's defense and broke his carefully constructed defensive strategy!

He thought of all possibilities, but he never thought of luck!

Maybe it's because he didn't expect Rong Guang, a rookie, to be so favored by the goddess of luck...

If such shit luck proves that his efforts are in vain and his countermeasures are all jokes, he absolutely cannot accept it!

So at this moment, even he himself lost his mind.

Gotta give that jerk rookie some color and let him know that shit luck doesn't get very far on the court!

At this time, he completely forgot what this rookie is best at...

※※※

The team emblem is a white five-pointed star in a black shield. Botafogo is also a traditional strong team in Rio State.A wave of consecutive 5-minute offensives completely suppressed Sao Paulo.

The Botafogo fans who followed the team to the Morombi Stadium also gave a huge shout to cheer for their team.

The team's performance gave them hope of a quick equalizer.

This made them shout with extra enthusiasm.

The situation is great!
But in this excellent situation, there is a hidden crisis...

No. 207 minutes, Botafogo won a corner kick through two consecutive shots.

Two shots in a row were threatening, and the Botafogo fans in the stands were in an all-time high.This corner kick also made them make a lot of noise.

It seems that in this corner kick, they can equalize the score.

The corner kick was taken quickly.

Just when the Botafogo fans looked at the football flying in the air with full expectation, hoping to finally see the ball in Sao Paulo's goal, the football was punched out by the attacking goalkeeper Cheney!

When he saw the football flying outside the penalty area, Botafogo coach Levi Kupi finally woke up!Isn't this the fucking quick counterattack that Sao Paulo is best at?

That rookie's speed...

So he hurried to the sidelines, waving his arms recklessly towards the inside and shouting: "Back—defense—!! Quick!"

The Botafogo players on the court also reacted.

The football played by Cheney flew towards Ricardinho, and Botafogo player Tullio quickly posted it to prevent Ricardinho from easily turning around or passing the football calmly. The best result is of course to steal the ball and attack directly, but this hope is very slim, so as long as Ricardinho can be forced to pass back, the task will be considered complete.

At the same time, the rest of the Botafogo players are running back regardless - they are returning to the defense!
They all remembered, there is a fucking track and field athlete on this field!
Isn't the huge space in the backcourt specially prepared for him?
※※※

Seeing Botafogo's players returning to the defense like an ebbing tide, Caffery nodded approvingly: "Botafogo's players have not lost their minds. At least they are not swarming up to press, but quickly return to the defense-this is the correct approach. Because Sao Paulo has Rong, Rong's speed is very suitable for counterattacks after this kind of set kick! Now their defenders have quickly returned to the half.

Under the pressure of Tullio, Ricardinho still took the football out, and the Sao Paulo team moved forward.

But Botafogo's defense was really fast this time - they ran back almost as hard as they could, and everyone pushed their speed to the limit.

Finally, they all retreated in place before Sao Paulo attacked.

When Sao Paulo's players advanced to the middle circle, most of Botafogo's players were already in their own defensive positions.

Seeing that there was no big counterattack, Ricardinho was not in a hurry to pass forward with the ball.

Just reorganize the attack and move forward slowly.Pass back when there is no chance, never take a risk.

Anyway, they are leading now, and they have no reason to worry at all.

He saw that Rong Guang retreated slightly from the position of the attacking midfielder, looking for the ball from himself.

He passed the football over.

Although Rongguang's kick just now had an element of luck, this assist allowed him to regain the trust of his teammates, and Ricardinho would naturally be willing to pass the football to him.

So football fell to Rongguang's feet.

Rong Guang faced the rolling football, and instead of catching it, he turned around and bypassed the football. In this way, he didn't have to stop the ball and turn around, and he directly completed the movement of turning and adjusting.

Now he is facing the attacking direction to handle the ball.

His eyes naturally fell on Botafogo's goal 38 meters away.

※※※

Seeing that Rong Guang was forced to turn around to catch the ball, he turned around and faced three complete lines of defense.

Botafogo coach Levi Cuppi returned to a relaxed smile.

If it was a little later and Rong Guang received the ball, it would definitely not be the case now.

That way I would never be able to laugh.

Fortunately, there is no threat to Rongguang now - Levi Kupi absolutely does not believe that Rongguang can have another shit luck.

※※※

In fact, Rong Guang didn't even think about assisting again.

Two assists are equal to one goal, such a simple addition and subtraction, Rong Guang can calculate it even if he only has an elementary school education.

Assists definitely don't get as much money as goals!

He wants to score!

In order to avoid the "accident" just now, Rongguang does not intend to pass the football to Fabiano this time.

He now has to face Botafogo's entire defense alone. Without the help of his teammates, he must do it alone.

He dribbles towards Botafogo's defenders.

His speed is fast, unabated!
If this goes on, he will soon meet Botafogo's defenders.

Will he pass the ball, or is he trying to do it himself?
Will the through ball as sharp as a scalpel still appear?

Many people in the stands and in front of the TV suddenly became nervous.

※※※

Edgar was the first to defend Glory head-on.

But he didn't jump on it in a hurry.To deal with Rong Guang, each of them has their place.It's enough to defend within this position, and you must not jump too early, otherwise he will take advantage of the space behind him.

Isn't that what the first goal is?Rong Guang took advantage of the small space behind Fernando... But Edgar still didn't believe that this was done on purpose by Rong Guang, and it should be just a coincidence.He was flustered by the pressure of two people, and he stabbed casually. Originally, he wanted to share the ball with himself, but Fabiano just happened to appear there.

Cautious Edgar did not go up, but waited in his place.

The head coach Levi Kupi, who saw this scene from the sidelines, nodded, satisfied with the performance of his players.

Before the game, he analyzed Rongguang's sharpest vertical breakthrough and told them that Rongguang's biggest weakness is that he can only make vertical breakthroughs. That is to say, although his breakthrough speed is fast, it is only a straight line.By analyzing all the videos of Rongguang's goals, it can be seen very clearly that they are all in a straight line, and there is basically no change of direction in the middle.

This shows what?
Explain that Rongguang will not change direction while dribbling at high speed!

So as long as his advancing route is blocked and he is not given enough breakthrough depth, then Rongguang's breakthrough will hit a wall and come to an abrupt end!

Cupy is very confident in his arrangement.

He believes his players know what to do too.

He is now waiting for glory to hit the invisible wall in front of Botafogo's penalty area.

※※※

Seeing the distance between Rong Guang and himself getting closer, he still has no intention of slowing down.

Edgar lowered his center of gravity, fixed his eyes on Rong Guang and the football under his feet, and was ready for battle.

The big deal is to run into him head-on!
Anyway, he must not be allowed to score!

Edgar made all the preparations, and then the two met.

coming!

He whispered in his heart.

Suddenly his eyes blurred, and he saw Rong Guang's body shaking.

Or to be more precise, the upper body swayed a bit.

He saw Rong Guang's right shoulder sinking!

As a player with rich defensive experience, Edgar knows what this action means almost without thinking about it—when a player wants to change direction, his body will lean in that direction. This is a natural physical reaction, which is centripetal force.

He shifted his focus without thinking, and after Rong Guang made this shoulder sinking movement, his body also reacted naturally.This is the body's own instinct.

But at the same time, his mind reflected - this kid won't change direction!So how could he be able to change direction and dribble the ball?Is it a feint?

Do not!
In the next second, he saw that Rong Guang's left foot was going to the left side of the football!
He even dribbled the ball to the left, which is Edgar's right!

Edgar still kept his center of gravity leaning to the left, because he was completely unable to react due to inertia, he could only turn his head and watch Rong Guang escape from him!

how can that be? !
His eyes were still following Rong Guang's figure, and he saw Rong Guang's flickering move him in front of another Botafogo defensive player, central defender Regis.

The idiot!What a self-inflicted trap!Regis' frontal defense ability is very strong, boy!

Having been let down by Rong Guang, he thought angrily.

But the next scene made his eyes pop out.

He saw Rong Guang's upper body sway again, this time with his left shoulder sinking and his right foot kicking the ball!

That rookie actually flashed past Regis just like that!
And Regis, who was extremely capable of frontal defense, didn't respond to Rong Guang's change of direction breakthrough!He looks like a wax figure!
Edgar was shocked - this must be a fucking hallucination!

He heard the roar of the collapse of his inner cognitive world...
