Chapter 21 St. Paul's Strongest Weapon (...(1/2)

This goal of Glory happened at the end of the first half.

Not long after the game started again, the referee blew the whistle to the end of the midfield.

With a glorious goal, Sao Paulo temporarily tied with Corinthian at home.

The equalization of the score at the last moment is a significant increase in the morale of the entire Sao Paulo team.

It can be seen from the changes in the stands.

The fans of St. Paul in the stands fell into silence after Kaka was injured, but now they shouted and sang again at the end of the first half, which continued until the halftime break.

Rongguang followed his teammates off the court.

He was patted on the shoulder from behind.

He turned his head to look and found that it was the team's captain, goalkeeper Cheney.

"Good job, Rong." Just like when Rongguang first saw Cheney, he said to Rongguang with a smile. "Do it well and try to stay in the first team!"

Rongguang wanted to hit Lucas for what he said to him, the gambling between him and Cleber.

If you can't stay in the first team, you'll have to fly for a few thousand dollars!

He nodded: "Of course, captain, I will definitely stay in the first team!"

Cheney was also very happy to see that he was so fighting spirit and confident.

If there are more young people like Glory in the team, I'm afraid they won't be so embarrassed during this period...

※※※

The locker room is still the first team locker room, but the atmosphere that Rong Guang felt after entering was a little different from before.

Baptista greeted him warmly: "Come in, Rong!"

The serious Fabiano smiled and patted his head, revealing a little intimacy. "Good job, novices."

Glory's goal brought Sao Paulo hope and confidence to win the game at home. Previously, with Kaka being injured, the clouds that enveloped everyone's heads were dispersed. The atmosphere in the locker room was naturally much better.

Kaka didn't come out, he received a physical therapy massage from Sanchez in the inner room in the locker room. His injury in the first half was caused by straining his thigh muscles.

Renaldo was still a little angry when he saw that the glory was welcomed by everyone, so he snorted.

However, unlike before, there are fewer and fewer people in his camp this time.

Even Rico came up to congratulate Rongguang, but his expression was a little unnatural.

He was ashamed of his previous performance.

Because he was worried about being excluded by the first-team players, he actually alienated his friends. He felt as if he had betrayed the glory.

Rongguang insisted on his own path so strongly, and finally won everyone's praise and recognition. What about himself? He was still thinking about making him give up...

Rico thought he was so bad that he treated his friends like this!

Just as he was complaining, Rongguang slapped him hard on the back, shocking him.

He looked at Rongguang again, but Rongguang had already walked to the front of his cabinet, sat down and shook off his sneakers, took off his socks, and lay half on the stool.

He knew what Rong Guang meant... He didn't mind his alienation!

He put down his burden and became happy again.

He wanted to find Rongguang, but he grinned as soon as he moved... his back hurt so much!

Rong was really not bad at that moment!

※※※

Osvaldo Oliveira walked in, and he saw the glory of sitting on the stool with a very unstable attitude.

He took the risk of putting him on the field and finally received the reward.

"Good job, young man." He said to Rongguang with a stern face.

Although it is a stern face, the meaning of appreciation is very obvious.

Rong Guang smiled brightly and was recognized by the head coach, which means he was more likely to stay in the first team! He had to pay a few thousand yuan to watch!

"I should do it, sir!"

He straightened his posture, raised his chest and raised his head, and replied loudly.

Osvaldo nodded and began to get to the point, talking about what the team should do in the second half.

The score is now a draw, but Osvaldo is never willing to give up on the draw.

Taking advantage of the strong morale of the team and if you don’t pursue victory, you deserve to be fired!

"I know you are very motivated now and want to go out and tear Corinthian into pieces right away. But I want to remind you. Even though we equalized the score, the situation is still unfavorable for us."

As a head coach, you must stay calm no matter when. When the players were still excited about equalizing the score at the last moment, he had already escaped from that emotion and began to think about what to do in the second half.

He finally made a decision.

"We will continue to let Corinthian push us to play in the second half!"

As soon as these words came out, the players in the locker room were stunned.

They looked at the head coach with incredible eyes.

Osvaldo Oliveira knew they would be confused and surprised, but he was sure that his choice was right.

Glory's goal is the most powerful proof of his idea.

That is, this Sao Paulo team is more suitable for defensive counterattacks now.

Although this is not necessarily a popular football that everyone likes.

But for the sake of results, you have to defend and fight back.

It is logical that Sao Paulo should not play this tactic at his home court.

Especially derby battles like "Solemn Derby".

Sao Paulo faces strong rival Corinthian at his home court. If he plays a defensive counterattack, isn’t that equivalent to admitting his weakness and incompetence in front of his opponent?

In Brazil, it advocates offensive football and artistic football more.

Except for Nandahezhou in the south.

This state is mainly immigrants from Europe, especially Germany and Italy. The football style of this state is known for its defensive style even Gremio and the international team. In 1975, Brazil International won the Brazil National League championship by defense.

In the southeast and east of Brazil, Sao Paulo and Rio, the football style here tends to be offensive football and artistic football.

This is the most representative Brazilian football, which is what we all call "samba football".

Therefore, when playing against a team of Corinthian, Osvaldo Oliveira began to consider defensive counterattacks, and I have to say that he is very bold.

Just like after Kaka was injured, he decided to let Glory appear, boldly...

Osvaldo ignored the players' surprise eyes and began to explain to them why the team needed to do so.

"Although we equalized the score, overall, our current strength is weaker than Corinthian. You must see this and recognize yourself and understand the situation. Corinthian's lineup is complete, what about us? Kaka is injured. Although Rong went up and scored a goal, he was just a novice."

Glory grinned.

Osvaldo noticed his expression, so he asked, "Rong, do you know how to organize the attack? Do you know what to do when facing the opponent's dense defense in the middle? Can you mess up the opponent's defense line alone in a narrow area?"

Rong Guang was speechless after a series of questions. Although he was indignant, he really couldn't refute the head coach.

"With Ricardinho and Kaka's absence, we have no one to organize the attack, which is our weakness. So if we fight Corinthians, our attack will definitely reach a dead end. We don't have to give up our most powerful weapons and choose what we are not good at. And our most powerful weapons are..."

Osvaldo glanced at Glory and found that he was still there and was not convinced. He felt funny in his heart - he was such a cute newbie!

However, there was still no expression on his face and no expression.

He said with a straight face: "Rong."

"Ah?" Rong Guang was stunned when he heard the head coach calling his name. He didn't know what was wrong - he didn't hear Osvaldo's previous words at all.

The other team members also looked at Glory, some were surprised, and some were smiling.

"Our most powerful weapon is you, Rong." Osvaldo repeated.

Rong Guang was very excited by the head coach's comment in front of the whole team. He smiled brightly again on his face. He scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "Haha, hehe..."

Osvaldo retracted his gaze looking at Rong Guang and continued: "Rong's speed is the only weapon we can rely on now. So we must give full play to his advantage. Let Corinthian press us to play, that's it. Corinthian's situation in the first half was originally very good, but he was sneaked into a goal by Rong's counterattack. I guess they would not give up. That's right, we just want them to press up. When they all press up, there will be a lot of room behind them, just like the ball in the first half, that's when Rong you use your speed advantage."

Rong Guang punched himself in his palm: "Look, sir!"

Osvaldo nodded: "In the second half, we contracted our defense. Luis and Rong cruised in front and waited for a chance to counterattack. If you have the ball under your feet, pass the football to the open area. Don't pass it to Rong's feet. Be sure to pass it to him in front and let him rush up. This time, Luis." He turned to Fabiano again. "Don't run away. I need you to circumvent the goal. Rong will pass the football to you after breaking through..."

"I can also shoot and score..." Rong Guang quickly stated.

Assistant coach Mauro glared at him: "Either listen to the head coach or be replaced!"

This move is a must-kill for Glory.

As soon as he heard this, the glory immediately became depressed.

Many people in the locker room couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene - although this kid was sometimes arrogant, he was also sometimes cute... Such a simple threat suppressed him, haha!

Osvaldo also felt funny. In order not to attack Glory's enthusiasm, after Mauro gave Glory a blow, he gave another candy: "You can't shoot skillfully now, Rong. After this game is over, we will arrange a special shooting practice for you. When you learn it, you can naturally shoot in the game. But before that, your task is to assist."
To be continued...
