Chapter 85

No one could have imagined that it was not other Sao Paulo players or Atlético Parana players who appeared in front of the football, but Glory who had not appeared on TV for several minutes!

If you use good luck to explain it, then Rong Guang seems to have too much luck when he is lucky, right?
In the first game of his debut, he assisted and scored one goal at a time against Corinthians. It was luck.

The key goal against Santos, sending Sao Paulo to the semi-finals of the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship, was also luck?

What about the winning goal against Corinthians?Or luck?
Passing the first game of the tournament in the new season, his assist was luck.

Is he lucky to even pass two people?
It would be too perfunctory to use "he was lucky" as an explanation now.

Of course, Rong Guang's statement "I knew Kaka that kid couldn't score" wasn't credible.

The core essence is actually glory. Unlike other people, when they saw Kaka rushing forward with the ball, he gave everything to Kaka, and he just waited to cheer for the goal.

He is still very active in the offense.

The so-called heaven rewards hard work.The football hit the goal post and bounced to his side. It seemed to be luck, but in fact, maybe God was also moved by his persistent running...

Anyway, after scoring the goal, Rong Guang was in a good mood.

1000 yuan is here!
And what made him feel even better was that the ball was grabbed by Kaka!

Not only did he increase his income, but he also dealt a heavy blow to his competitors. How beautiful it is!

Hmph, after watching this game, who would dare to say let me play and let Kaka play!

"Is this his surprise?" Mauro asked.

Osvaldo nodded with a smile on his face: "Rookies always have unexpected things. I suddenly feel that coaching Sao Paulo has other fun besides winning games..."

Mauro poured cold water on him again: "Don't get too excited, Osvaldo. Kaka showed a good state in this game. He didn't score the goal just now because he was a bit unlucky. Of course, Rong's state is also needless to say. After this game, I believe there will definitely be more voices from the media asking for Kaka to start the game. What will you do then?"

This time Osvaldo did not frown, on the contrary, he appeared confident.

"I already have some ideas, and this idea became more and more clear in the process of scoring just now."

Mauro was surprised: "You have an inspiration now?"

Osvaldo nodded: "Well. Who said the two of them can't coexist? Did you see the replay of the goal just now?"

Mauro nodded.

On the big screen at the scene, there is also a slow motion replay of the goal just now, so they can see it clearly through the big screen at the scene.

"When Kaka sprinted with the ball, Rong was the only one in the team to catch up. Of course, this was due to his sense of competition against Kaka, but at the same time, don't you think that when Kaka was sprinting with all his strength, only Rong in our team could catch up. Is it the other way around?"

It was only after Osvaldo said this that Mauro realized it.

Rong Guang and Kaka are currently the two fastest players in the team. If they want to counterattack quickly, if they are both on the court, it will be quite a threatening situation.Just like the ball just now, if Rong Guang is already off the field and Kaka shoots the ball on the goal post, the attack will be over, and there is absolutely no possibility of scoring.

But... the problem that the two of them can't coexist is obviously not just a tactical arrangement.

"But you know the relationship between the two of them, Osvaldo..."

Osvaldo nodded: "Of course. I never believe that the players in my team are good friends who are as close as brothers. How to bring them together is our job, Mauro. If the two of them can cooperate tacitly, I believe... Sao Paulo is invincible in the whole of Brazil!"

He said this with confidence.

Then he said to Mauro: "Go and get Alessandro back, he's needed."

※※※

After Rongguang helped Sao Paulo take the lead again, coach Osvaldo made adjustments.

He replaced another winger, Carlos Miguel, with midfielder Alessandro.

In this way, Sao Paulo has no winger, but has become three central midfielders.

Strictly speaking, there are two defensive midfielders and one central midfielder-Ricardinho is the central midfielder. He is responsible for organizing the offense and his position is higher than the average midfielder.

However, after Alessandro came on the field, he gave Ricardinho a new task.

"Let me sit further back?" After hearing Alessandro's words, Ricardinho looked strangely at the coach Osvaldo on the sidelines, as if he wanted to confirm.

But Osvaldo didn't look his way.

"Yes."

"But... I'm not good at defense, I'm not a midfielder."

Alessandro didn't know what the head coach's intention was, he was just a messenger, so he also shook his head and said, "I don't know, sir, just let you sit a little later."

Ricardinho leaned back obediently.

But the positions of Kaka and Rongguang remain unchanged, they are still the front midfielders.

In this way, Sao Paulo's formation became four lines - 4321.

There are three midfielders in front of the four defenders, and two midfielders in front of the three midfielders, and center Fabiano is in front of the two midfielders.

Osvaldo replaced the defensive midfielder Alessandro to strengthen the defense.

He let Ricardinho retreat also in order for him to defend.Although he is not good at defense.But who told Osvaldo not to bring more midfielders to the away game this time?
So it can only make do with it.

※※※

After taking the lead, Sao Paulo knew what to do.It was an accident that Atlético Parana scored two goals in less than 10 minutes of the second half.

It is due to their pride and underestimation of the enemy.

After being equalized by the opponent scoring two goals in a row, if the Sao Paulo players are still proud and underestimated the enemy, there must be something wrong with their brains...

So in the next game, Sao Paulo shrank the defense and played a defensive counterattack.

This time they withstood the attack of Atlético de Parana.

In fact, more importantly, they maintained enough offensive deterrence in the frontcourt. When Rongguang and Kaka teamed up to create a goal, Atletico Parana could no longer desperately press the attack.

Relying on the trident of Kaka, Rongguang and Fabiano in the frontcourt, the entire defense line of Atlético Parana was firmly nailed to the backcourt, leaving them lacking back row support and no sense of hierarchy when attacking.

Although only one goal behind, Atlético Parana was unable to score another goal to equalize the score until the end.

Not to mention winning at home.

Sao Paulo defeated Atletico Parana 3:2 away.

Finally, the revenge was completed.

※※※

On the second day after the game, as Mauro said, after this game, the voice of Kaka starting in the media became stronger.

Although Kaka did not score in the game, it is glory to score.

But the media's reasons are also impeccable.

"...Although Kaka didn't score a goal in yesterday's game, everyone can see that the turning point of the game happened after he played. His appearance revitalized Sao Paulo's midfield and frontcourt. The reason why Rong was able to score was also due to Kaka's long-distance attack... Such a good state, if he can't start for the team, it will be a loss for Sao Paulo!"

"Kaka showed amazing form in yesterday's game. I think Osvaldo has no reason to stop Kaka from starting with 'Kaka needs a rest'..."

"Kaka was only one post away from scoring yesterday! Such an outstanding performance makes it difficult for coach Osvaldo to ignore him!"

These media are scrambling to complain for Kaka. It seems that Osvaldo made Kaka a substitute for three games, which is simply a heinous thing.

Of course, some media are also thinking about Osvaldo, because Kaka's condition is indeed good, but Rongguang's condition is not bad!
"...Kaka's state has recovered, but Rong's state is also good. In yesterday's game, he scored another goal and helped the team defeat Atlético Parana 3:2... Well, now for Osvaldo, it's his turn to enjoy the 'happy troubles'. Is it Rong or Kaka?"

Is it Rong or Kaka?

These media may not think that this is not an annoyance for Osvaldo at all.

Such two great young people, of course they have to work together to be strong enough!

※※※

After the game against Atletico Parana, the team had a day off.

Players can rest on this day, but the coach cannot.

Osvaldo called the members of the coaching staff together for a meeting.

The main thing is to develop a special training plan.

This training plan is for Rong Guang and Kaka playing at the same time.

At the meeting, Osvaldo made his plans clear.

The game against Atletico Parana inspired him, and he found that 4321 was the most suitable for Sao Paulo when Rong Guang and Kaka started at the same time.

Because after having two fast players, Rong Guang and Kaka, Sao Paulo advances very fast in the offense.

The formation of 4321 enhances the control of the midfield, but does not sacrifice the scoring ability of defense and striker.

When attacking, the two front midfielders waited for the opportunity to insert in the back row. Their speed was very fast, and the power of inserting from the back was amazing.

As for how to solve the problem of overlapping positions and conflicting interference between the two...

In fact, it is very simple. When one of the two people has the ball, the other is like a forward with a more flexible position.

He can support players with the ball, or he can rush forward to attract the attention of the opponent's defense, thereby opening up space.

Anyway, in Osvaldo's view, this is not a problem at all.

Compared with the relationship between Rong Guang and Kaka, this is not worth mentioning at all...

※※※

The next day, the players returned to the training base to start a new week of training.

Before the training started, Osvaldo announced the new training plan and content.

He told everyone that starting today, a new formation and tactics will be practiced.

Then he named Rong Guang and Kaka.

"You two come out."

He hooked his hands.

Rong Guang and Kaka stood up without knowing why, standing in front of Osvaldo on one left and one on the right.

The teammates also looked at them strangely, not understanding what coach Osvaldo was doing when he asked the two of them to come out.

"In view of your tacit cooperation in the last game, I decided to let you play together at the same time!" Osvaldo said with a smile.

Including Rong Guang and Kaka, all the players were stunned.
