World's No.1 Football Manager

Chapter 341 The Dark Horse Controversy
In the second round of the playoffs of the São Paulo State Championship, the opponent of the DB team was Mirasol.

Unlike most of the teams that DB has played against before, Mirasol does not have a very prominent history, and their ancestors have not been "rich". They have been in the Pakistan C and Badin leagues for a long time.

However, compared with those "declining giants" whose family fortunes have declined, Mirasol's performance in recent years has always maintained an upward trend.

Since the head coach Moises Eggert took over, the team's appearance and style of play have undergone earth-shaking changes.

The team's current style of play is mainly offensive, with smooth passing and receiving, and a small-scale cooperation with smooth flow, and has become one of the most entertaining teams in the state of Sao Paulo.

Moreover, after the team introduced powerful players such as Susa and Maracquias, the team's strength has greatly increased. Not only has it returned to the Brazilian League Two after many years, but it has also flourished in the Sao Paulo State Championship this season.

The São Paulo state championship is very evil, and the teams that are popular in Brazil may not be able to enter the playoffs here; but there have also been examples of winning the state championship but being relegated in the domestic league.

So, while Mirasol's record is surprising, it's not entirely unbelievable.

They're not even the most surprising team this season.

Originally, Mirasol was the biggest dark horse in the state championship this season, but it is a pity that this season, the DB team, which is expected to create the "Miracle of Kaiserslautern", was too popular and suppressed Mirasol's light.

Therefore, this game is also known as the "dark horse battle".

Which of the two dark horses is better depends on the contest in the semi-finals of the playoffs.

At the pre-match press conference, the reporters were very interested in the riders of the two dark horses, the coaches of the two teams.

Gao Yuan and Moises Eggert, these two are the most competitive candidates for the best head coach of this year's state championship.

The reporters threw similar questions to the two of them like a barrage of questions.

"Mr. Eggert, would you please comment on your opponent?"

"The DB team is a very strong team. I admire their technical and tactical style. I was surprised by the competitiveness they showed on the court."

"Mr. Gao Yuan, would you please comment on your opponent?"

"Mirasol's offensive power is very strong. In my opinion, they are one of the best passing teams in Brazilian football. I am a fan of them."

"Mr. Eggert, how do you evaluate the opponent's head coach?"

"Mr. Gao Yuan is a young and promising young marshal. His future is bright and the future is limitless!"

"Mr. Gao Yuan, how do you evaluate the opponent's head coach?"

"Mr. Eggert is a respectable Brazilian football player. His tactical style is clear and his football philosophy is clear. It is worth learning from him for us younger generations."

"Mr. Eggert, this game has been rated as a dark horse battle. How do you evaluate it?"

"These are just false names, we only focus on the next game, and we will take every game seriously"

"Mr. Gao Yuan, this game has been rated as a dark horse battle. How do you evaluate it?"

"This is just a gimmick hyped up by your media. For the two teams in the game, this is just a game that must be scored."

······
The answers of the coaches of both sides in front of the media were evenly matched.

The two words are different, but the meaning is almost the same.

The media lamented, could it be that the legendary heroes see the same thing?Will these two excellent head coaches also have a sense of sympathy for heroes?

Everything looked very harmonious until the reporter of "Global Sports" asked the last question:
"Mr. Eggert, can you predict who will win this game?"

"Mr. Gao Yuan, can you predict who will win this game?"

The answers of the two were once again surprisingly consistent.

"My team!"

Everyone was amazed, it turned out that the previous harmony was all an illusion and a hypocritical courtesy. In the hearts of the two coaches, Lao Tzu's team was the final winner!

Hey, this game is interesting!

The game was held at Mirasol's home court. As a dark polo team, the home audience was very enthusiastic about watching the game, and the small stadium was also packed to the brim.

Although the stadium is not big, the sound effect is very good, which is a bit similar to the Hongkou Stadium in Shanghai.

The home atmosphere of Mirasol is very warm. Before the start of the game, the audience began to chant rhythmically in the stands:
"Mirasol~Mirasol~mi~la~so~er~~~~"

There are also many people holding the "vuvuzela" peddled by street vendors outside the stadium, blowing vigorously there.

The sound one after another was like the siren of a ship sailing in a distant harbor, and it was like a death knell for the opponent.

And when the players from both sides walked out of the player channel, the atmosphere on the scene became even more enthusiastic.

The DJ at the scene dragged a long tail, introducing the names of the players.

When introducing the players of the home team, the contagious tone made people get goosebumps.

And DJ's super lung capacity makes people wonder if he has worked as a Brazilian football commentator before.

Every time the DJ finished chanting a name, there was a burst of cheers from the stands, and the vuvuzela was blown even more vigorously.

After reading the names of stars such as Susa and Maracquias, the noise made almost collapsed the stands.

After reading all the players' names, DJ was silent for 3 seconds, as if he was trying to breathe out his luck, then sank into his dantian, and shouted the name of the coach of the home team with all his strength.

"Mo~yi~sai~sai~ge~te~~~~"

Then, the sky above the stadium exploded.The biggest cheers to date erupted from the stands.

At that moment, the air trembled, and the earth seemed to shake.

Everyone in the DB team couldn't help but change their colors slightly.

"Damn, this old guy is so popular!" Gao Yuan was also secretly speechless.

Damn, this away game is not easy to play!
Gao Yuan has heard before that the atmosphere of the state championship playoffs is completely different from that of the regular season. It is extremely hot, and today is an eye-opener.At the same time, I also understand why Mirasol's home record is so good, their fans are really awesome!
After introducing the home team, it's time to introduce the visiting team.

The DJ at the scene suddenly seemed to be a different person, tired and limp, without half of the enthusiasm just now, like a primary school student memorizing a text, saying the names of DB teenagers one after another.

After each name was pronounced, they were greeted by the boos of the fans in the stands and the harsh sound of vuvuzelas.

The DB teenagers were also divided into grades, the more famous they were, the louder they were booed.

Finally, DJ finished reading the names of the players on the field, and then the name of the head coach of the visiting team.

"lofty"

"Shh~~~~~~"

Boos, whistles, and vuvuzelas mixed together and resounded through the stands.

"It seems that we are the big villains in this game!" Old Baal laughed at himself.

"Xiao Gao is the big boss of the villain!" Han Peng joked.

Gao Yuan rolled his eyes at them, and cursed with a smile: "What do you know, this is the audience at the home court using actual actions to prove in reverse, who is the biggest wrist in our team!"
