Before the game begins, the head coach will say something to his team and give his final advice and explanation.

It is usually a tactical reminder, or something to boost morale.

However, today Flamenco's head coach Nelsono Baptista entered the locker room with a newspaper and read the newspaper to everyone before the game.

When Flamenco players found out that the most precious time before the game actually became the head coach's newspaper reading time, they were all surprised.

Nelsono Baptista doesn't care about the players' eyes.

"...Sao Paulo's double midfielder tactics are very powerful. They almost swept in São Paulo State... I think as long as the two front-quarter midfielders in São Paulo play normally, Flamenco will have no choice. They will defeat the attacking trident of São Paulo, and they don't even have the power to fight back."

Hearing such words, the player with Flamenco couldn't help laughing - this is ridiculous! There is no absolute victory or defeat in football, let alone flamenco doesn't even have the power to fight back...

Nelsono Baptista didn't care about such a sneer, and he continued to read.

"Kaka has won the World Cup with Brazil, but in São Paulo, a new player has emerged. The player who started and worked as a midfielder with Kaka is from China. He is only seventeen years old this year. He has just been involved in football eight years ago... But he has been known as a well-deserved genius in São Paulo. His sharpest weapon is his speed. I have never seen anyone run as fast as him. In front of his speed, Flamenco's defense will be like paper..."

No one laughed out loud this time, and everyone's expression was angry.

Because the comments in this newspaper are so despised.

The whole article is about how powerful São Paulo is, as if he can beat Flamenco if he finds someone in the formation. Now even the rookie who has only been studying football for eight months can despise Flamenco... This is definitely a great humiliation for them!

Grayson did not look down on Flamenco's description throughout the article, otherwise it would be easy to arouse suspicion. He cleverly inserted these clips that easily angered Flamenco into the whole article, making people seem like a piggyback comment.

In order to collect these clips, Nelsono Baptista read the article again.

After reading the clip he picked, Nelsono Baptista raised the newspaper in his hand. He shook, and the newspaper made a clattering sound.

"This is a Scoreboard, but not Rio's, but Sao Paulo's." He said.

Hearing this, someone showed a sudden enlightenment - St. Paul's newspaper, no wonder!

Those arrogant St. Paulians are good at looking down on others! It seems that others are like country bumpkins in their eyes!

"This view is very common in St. Paul, and the vast majority of St. Paulians think so."

Nelson O Baptista predicted that no player would go to the newspapers of Sao Paulo to see what they said.

Brazil has a vast territory, and each state is like an independent kingdom, so it is normal for them to interact with each other. Especially in football, this can be seen from the fact that the history of the state league is longer than that of the national gold standard and is valued.

It is impossible for Rio players to know what the media in Sao Paulo is paying attention to, just as Sao Paulo players know very little about the media in Rio.

After hearing Nelson O Baptista's words, the expressions on the players' faces changed.

Their eyes became sharp and their expressions became angry.

They felt contempt and malice from their opponents.

Even if Flamenco has not performed well recently, it is a giant with 35 million supporters in Brazil. How can his opponents be so underestimated?

They vowed to give the whole state of St. Paul to some color!

They are not very ugly with St. Paul, but who made the Sao Paulo football team meet with them in this game?

If you want to blame, you can only blame Saint Paul and the others for being unlucky, and they actually bumped into Flamenco in a bad mood!

"The Sao Paulo people are confident that their double midfielders are the trident tactics that can beat us completely, but they may not know that we have trained for a whole week in tactics against them! This game gives them a 'surprise'!" Nelsono Baptista laughed.

He saw what he wanted in the faces of these flamenco players.

When Flamenco players were fighting in the locker room because of media words, the atmosphere seemed calm in the visiting team's locker room.

Although Sao Paulo and Palmeiras only tied in the last tournament, the training these two weeks have made the players increasingly more understanding of the new tactics and more confident.

They believe they are in the right shape, and it should not be difficult to beat Flamenco away.

This relaxed mentality made them not nervous about the next strong conversation.

They are currently only two points away from the number one San Caetano.

If they can beat Flamengo in this game and San Caetano will have something unexpected in the away game to challenge Botafogo, they will return to the top position in the league.

The ranking of the regular season of the Brazilian National Championships does not determine the final championship, but it must determine the final playoffs.

As for the qualifications for intercontinental events such as the Liberators Cup and the South American Club Cup, they are not determined by regular season rankings, but by making decisions after playing the playoffs.

Last season, Sao Paulo finally ranked seventh in the national championship and participated in the playoffs, but was swept out in the first round of knockouts because his performance in the playoffs was too poor and he was not eligible to participate in the Liberators Cup.

So the regular season is not a very important battlefield at all, the playoffs that determine their destiny.

It was not only Sao Paulo's players who performed calmly, but also Sao Paulo's head coach Osvaldo.

He did not treat it specially just because his opponent in this game was a traditional giant like Flamenco.

He did not conduct any passionate pre-war mobilization, nor did he nervously remind the players what to do in the game.

Tactics have been instilled into the players, and they have made all preparations. Even if Flamengo fully understands the team's tactics, he cannot completely abandon the team's tactics for two weeks, just to prevent the opponent from guessing what cards he plays - that is not something a mature coach should do, otherwise the final result is that the opponent cannot guess what cards he plays, because he has no cards to play at all.

So he decided to respond to changes in the same way as he remains unchanged.

Stick to your own tactics and kick at your own pace.

But Osvaldo couldn't help but keep glancing at glory.

And it's not just him, but also assistant coach Mauro.

They all wanted to see some clues from Rong Guang's face and see what he could be in this game...

But they can't see it.

Although they and Rongguang can be said to be "having together day and night", they still cannot guess what Rongguang will do next.

The pre-match preparation time ended soon, and players from both sides lined up to play.

For the first time, Glory stepped onto the Maracana Stadium in the name of participating in the competition.

Instead of the identity of a tourist...

More than 60,000 Flamenco fans created huge cheers when watching him. They were cheering for their team, and at this time they had no time to take advantage of the sensation for Sao Paulo, or they thought they had given it while warming up, so they didn't have to give it now...

Flamenco fans are very famous throughout the world.

They are called "red and black countries" because they are more numerous than some countries' total population.

Flamengo fans are also known for their fanaticism about the club. They have maintained a record of the best average attendance of multiple Brazilian leagues, a total of 12 times, and the highest number of attendances in two football clubs. In the 1984 Brazilian National Championships, Flamengo played against Santos in Maracana, with 155,523 people attending the event, but some people say the official figure is wrong, and there were more than 160,000 people in Maracana. The largest number of attendances in flamenco was in the 194,603 people in the Rio State League in 1963. Flamengo had 13 times in the stadium.

This is a very amazing number.

You should know that the world-renowned 1950 World Cup final was 200,000. This is the limit, or the effect achieved by gathering the national strength of Brazil.

Flamenco is just a club team, and the ability to set an entry record for so many people shows their influence and the fanaticism of Flamenco fans.

There are only 60,000 people coming today, which is really a small number of people.

Because Flamenco's performance fluctuates this season, many Flamenco fans have no interest in coming to the scene to get abused.

But these more than 60,000 people can be said to be the most loyal and hardcore fans of Flamengo. They are also the strongest fighting power. Their voices in the stands are not inferior to those of anyone. Sixty thousand people can also create the momentum of 160,000 people!

Rong Guang looked up at the stadium stands and heard the amazing cheers.

The shouts of Flamengo fans were like huge waves, attacking them, Sao Paulo players one after another.

Rongguang felt that he seemed to be no longer at the Maracana Stadium, but as if he was in the turbulent sea, strong winds and waves were coming from all directions, and he might be knocked over in the sea at any time and could never be helped.

But the amazing voice created by Flamengo fans did not scare the glory.

Although he played in such an amazing environment for the first time, he was very excited.

He even clenched his fists.

Look at those fans, such a terrifying home atmosphere... How awesome it would be if they were asked to shut up!
