The Brazil National Championships this season is regular season plus playoffs.

Twenty-six teams from Brazilian continents decided their final regular season rankings after twenty-five rounds of single cycles.

Regular season rankings do not determine anything except for playoff matches.

The four players were directly relegated after the regular season, while the top eight players entered the playoffs and fought against each other.

The eight teams participating in the playoffs play against each other based on their rankings in the regular season, first vs. eighth, second vs. seventh, and other matchups.

Because the final ranking has a lot to do with the opponents they play against, although Sao Paulo and San Caetano are basically sure to win the top four or even the top two, Sao Paulo still has to compete with San Caetano for the first place.

It is to meet the weaker eighth place after the first round of the playoffs. Coritiba is currently ranked eighth.

This team, Sao Paulo, can easily defeat Bl without glory. If you meet them again in the playoffs, wouldn’t it mean that food was delivered?

As long as St. Paul wins first place in the regular season, it is equivalent to advancing to the semi-finals early.

San Caetano also had this plan.

So both teams tried their best to be the first, but fortunately they met the bottom of the game in the first round of the playoffs.

In the 22nd round, Sao Paulo took the bye, and they did not rest, but continued to train and reached the fierce stage of competition. They just took advantage of the opportunity of three consecutive victories to press San Caetano under them. At this time, they naturally had to make a concerted effort to completely throw away their opponents.

So while other teams were playing, the entire Sao Paulo team did not take a break, but continued to train on Brafonda's training ground

In the 22nd round, San Caetano was tied by another traditional strong team, Cruzero L, at home, and the gap between the points and Sao Paulo was widened to four points.

In the 23rd round, Sao Paulo challenged the Portuguese away.

Rongguang was still active in the game and finally completed an assist, helping the team Bl defeat the Portuguese.

Three days later, Sao Paulo beat Ponte Preta two big at home. Although Glory did not score or assist, his performance was outstanding and positive.

Kaka finally completed his first hat trick of his career in this game.

But compared to Rongguang, he was much later...

After playing two games, Sao Paulo's lead has expanded to seven points.

Their advantages are getting bigger and bigger.

Media have already stated that it is impossible for anyone to prevent Sao Paulo from winning the regular season first.

Kaka, Rongguang and Fabiano's trident are becoming more and more skillful and the effect is getting better and better.

Fabiano currently ranks first in the scorer list with twenty-one goals, and Kaka's sixteen goals are also among the top five in the scorer list. Ten goals of glory are also amazing for a rookie who participated in the Brazil National Championship for the first time.

You should know that the entire Sao Paulo team has only scored fifty-two goals, and the three Tridents have thirty-seven goals together, which has accounted for more than two-thirds of the team's total goals.

In the 25th round of the game, Sao Paulo once again took the bye.

This time, Osvaldo gave the team a day off without training. With the increasingly large lead, there is no need to force the team to be too nervous. Relaxation is to prepare for the playoffs - he has already started to consider the playoffs.

Most players take advantage of this rare holiday break.

There are only two exceptions.

In the lakeside park, Rongguang trained under the guidance of Sun Fengyang.

Kaka also continued to strengthen his strength and strength in the gym.

Sixteen goals in a single season are already Kaka's best result since his debut.

If it were usual, he might find this behavior unbelievable, thank God for praising the Lord.

But now, he is not satisfied.

Because behind him, there is a perverted rookie who is eyeing him...

His pursuit made him dare not relax for a minute. He must constantly improve himself, otherwise he will be caught up by a rookie and become another victim of his journey against the sky.

In this kind of competition, both sides have greatly improved. Without Kaka as a goal, Rongguang might not have achieved such a result in eight months. When others were amazed at his rapid progress, how many people could think that Kaka was one of the motivations for his hard work?

If it weren't for the pursuit of Glory, Kaka would never have developed muscles and physical fitness to cope with the intensity of European competitions before going to Europe. It would be even more impossible for him to perform so well in the national championships, because Glory did not have the heart to consider transferring to Europe, and he was just focused on preventing Glory from surpassing himself.

This is the "benevolent competition" that Osvaldo wants to see.

※※※

After the bye, Sao Paulo welcomed another strong team, Vascoda Gama, at home.

However, this game is no longer the focus battle. With Sao Paulo's current leading position in the regular season rankings, even if they lose to Vascoda Gama, it will not affect their rankings.

So even the reporters present in this game were much less than that of the focus battle.

Vascoda Gama has a good result. They were the champions of the Brazil National Championship last season and there are many outstanding players in the team.

But this team's performance this year is not very good.

So far, they are ranked 13th in the league. If they want to compete for the top eight league playoffs, they have to do their best in the next few rounds of games.

But they were defeated by Sao Paulo 2 away.

Such a failure may illustrate why Vascoda Gama has performed so badly this season.

Rongguang contributed an assist in this game, but he still didn't score a goal.

Kaka scored twice, and she was in a hot state

In terms of data, Kaka surpassed Glory in all aspects, with 18 goals and seven assists, while Glory had only ten goals and six assists.

However, this is compared with Kaka, and the data of Rongguang is not good-looking compared to Kaka.

However, compared with other teammates, his data is already very good, and compared to a rookie who has only learned football for eight months, it is even more incredible. Not to mention that he is a midfielder rather than a striker, scoring goals should not be his duty.

So although Rongguang has never scored a goal, there is no criticism in public opinion.

How good can you ask a player who has only been in contact with football for eight months?

However, Rong Guang himself cannot tolerate himself not scoring goals.

When he didn't score in these games, he seemed to see colorful banknotes flying away one by one, leaving him far away.

Nothing is more unpleasant than seeing money fly away.

After the game against Vascoda Gama, Sao Paulo took another bye, and Glory gave up practicing "fried croquettes" and tried hard to practice shooting.

He wants to improve his shooting skills.

Finally, in the next round of home match against Victoria BAR, the glory opened.

He scored a goal in the game, breaking his six-game goal drought.

Rong Guang was particularly excited after scoring the goal. He shouted at the camera lens: "This is a goal worth a thousand yuan."

Of course, he shouted in his native language and Chinese, so no one could understand...

In the last round of regular season after this game, Sao Paulo led San Caetano ten minutes ahead of San Caetano.

Already sure to win.

So in the last round of the game, the main players of the first team including Rongguang, Kaka and others did not participate in the game.

They got a rare two-day holiday – match day and match day two combined.

Before the playoffs begin, Osvaldo hopes to give these players enough rest.

The next game is not as easy as the regular season.

In the regular season, Sao Paulo can lead the second place San Caetano by as much as ten. There is one reason that is also very important and cannot be ignored, that is, many teams have not tried their best in the regular season, as long as they can get the top eight.

Then he regained his energy and hit the championship with all his strength in the playoffs.

Almost every team that qualifies for the playoffs has this idea.

If it weren't for Sao Paulo's new tactics, Osvaldo would have wanted to deliberately suppress the team's form and show better form in the playoffs.

However, because we have to adjust the new tactics and formations and make the players familiar with this tactics as soon as possible, Osvaldo lets the team play - he also wants to see how far he can reach when the team plays its full strength.

The result made him very satisfied. As long as the team can maintain this state, Osvaldo believes that they really have great hopes to win the national championship. If it is really not good, even if they can't win the championship, they can still qualify for the Libertado Cup.

But first of all, these players cannot be injured, they must have a good rest. The problem with Sao Paulo is that there is a big gap in strength between the substitutes and the main players. If a main player is injured, there are too few substitutes who are able to replace them.

In order to prevent them from getting injured, they all watched the final round of the game.

In the end, Sao Paulo, who played as a substitute, defeated Pasandu 0 away.

With 18 wins, three draws and four losses, he accumulated 57 points, leading San Caetano, who ranked second, 12 points, and won the first place in the regular season.

They will play against the eighth-place team in the first round of the playoffs.

But their opponent is not the previous Coritiba.

Previously, Santos and Coritiba were the eighth in the regular season.

As a result, in the last round of regular season, Santos lost 2-to San Caetano. The position of eighth place was no longer guaranteed, but their competitor Coritiba unexpectedly lost to Gama 04. In the end, Santos entered the playoffs with eighth place.
Chapter completed!
