The game in January is over, and the South American Liberators Cup is coming in February.

This is the most exciting game for Glory.

He thought he could meet a powerful opponent he had never met before in the Copa Libertadores.

Sao Paulo's first opponent in the South American Liberators Group Stage is Cali America from Colombia

In order to prepare for this game, Osvaldo gave the main players a rest in the previous league.

After all, playing four games in eleven days is too high - starting from January 20th to January 31st, Sao Paulo played four rounds of group matches at home and away.

On February 4th, we will play the fifth round again.

If these main players are not allowed to rest, they will probably have no combat effectiveness when they go to the Liberator Cup.

Sao Paulo, who was on the bench, tied Santos 22 away, which was a good result.

At least they have not lost so far, and they are still at the top of the group stage.

To play this game, the entire Sao Paulo team took a plane to Colombia.

This is Rongguang's first time in Brazil to participate in the competition.

Their opponent is Cali America.

This is a team that is well-known in Colombia. They are considered to be one of the most well-known and traditional teams in Colombian football history. They are the second most winning teams in the Colombian Football League One. They are recognized as a South American giant.

"South American giants" were on the plane. When Rongguang listened to his teammates introducing the team, the string of honors made him clench his fists - this is the meaning of his participation in the Copa Liberators.

He has already fought all the opponents of Brazil, and it sounds like a lot of people in South America.

In fact, the Brazilian giants who were defeated by Glory are also "South American giants" in the entire South American football world...

But seeing new opponents is always easier to motivate people.

※※※

Sao Paulo may still have some reputation in Brazil, but when he arrived in Colombia, no one paid attention to the championship they won. Brazil is recognized as a football kingdom, but in South America, other countries may not necessarily be convinced by them.

Cali America is also full of expectations for the new season of the South American Liberators Cup.

Sao Paulo is the Brazilian national champion, so are they

They just won the Colombia Fall League title last year, their twelfth national title.

Just talking about national champions, they are ten streets away from St. Paul.

St. Paul has only four national champions…

However, Cali America's performance in the Copa Libertadores was much more miserable.

St. Paul has three Copa Libertadores champions so far, while Cali America has not one.

They once reached the final of the Liberators Cup three times in a row in the 1980s, but failed to win the championship in the end.

It was not until 1999 that they won the Intercontinental Championship for the first time, but it was still not the Liberators Cup, but the Southern American Northern Common Market Cup.

Although the team received a large number of silver medals in intercontinental competitions, the FIFA Statistics Association ranked Cali America as one of the top ten clubs in South America.

So when facing St. Paul, Cali America is not afraid at all. Is this still at their home court? What's there to be afraid of?

This can be seen from the hot atmosphere created by Colombian fans on the field.

Before the game started, the Pasqual Guerrero Stadium in Cali City was full, and 90% of the stands were Cali America fans. They wore red Cali America jerseys and turned the stadium stands into a red ocean.

This red color makes people feel bloody when they look at it.

Colombian fans also played various slogans and slogans that stimulated St. Paul in the stands.

As soon as Rongguang came out, he saw a striking slogan hanging on the stands, saying: "Welcome to the sissies from St. Paul."

The slogan is followed by Kaka's avatar.

The bloody red characters are very visually impactful.

Rongguang couldn't help laughing at Kaka when he saw this slogan: "It seems that your 'famous name has been passed down to Colombia."

Kaka, who was walking in front of him, snorted coldly, ignoring Glory.

The Cali America players walking next to Glory couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Glory curiously.

Rongguang couldn't stand the look of looking at rare animals, and turned his head and stared at the other party and said viciously: "What are you looking at?"

"Uh, not... are you Japanese?" the other party asked.

There are many Japanese people in South America, especially in Brazil, which is not uncommon.

Therefore, many South Americans regard dark hair, black eyes, yellow skin as Japanese.

"You are Japanese, your whole family is Japanese." Rongguang was very unhappy. "I am Chinese."

The other party was shocked: "Chinese? Can Chinese play football?"

Rongguang can see that the other party was not deliberately provoking, but was really surprised.

But despite this, he was still very upset.

"In your opinion, what should Chinese people do?" he asked back.

The other party obviously realized the glory's emotions, so he quickly apologized: "Uh... I'm sorry."

Rongguang smiled at him: "It doesn't matter, I will tell you if the Chinese can play football."

After saying that, he turned around and ignored the Colombian Cali America players next to him.

Seeing him like this, the other party shrugged and curled his lips, no longer looking at Rong Guang curiously.

But he did not take the words of glory to heart in his heart, and he did not think that a Chinese person was so crazy.

Lucas saw all this clearly behind him.

He Kaka was obviously stimulated by the slogans of Kali America, and Glory was also very angry by the Kali American player beside him.

have to.

Even the fighting spirit fire that emerged from these two people now felt...

He suddenly felt that Cali America was going to be unlucky.

Even if you are at your own home court, so what? Don’t you know that you have offended the two most terrifying people?

These two people started to be angry, but... they scared us all.

So...Cali America, you're dead

When the game started, Cali America, who was fighting at home, launched a fierce offensive against Sao Paulo's goal because they were fighting at home.

The team's performance aroused the enthusiasm of the home team fans in the stands. They shouted loudly, waved the flags in their hands to cheer for the team.

Before the game, pieces of paper tape were thrown down in the stands, and strips of white exercise were pulled out in the air, then they fell into the court, and they were scattered in the goal area.

This is a famous scene in South American football.

The stadiums in South America are different from those in Europe that are clean. They are always filled with messy things such as paper tapes and tapes. The players ignore this, and officials and the media will not make a fuss.

These confetti and tapes are symbols of South American football's passion.

There were also some Cali America fans, naked, climbing up the barbed wire at the front of the stands, waving their arms to the stadium, showing their strong muscles.

Excited roars filled every corner of the stadium. It was not like a place to play football, but like a Colosseum...

The commentator from the local Columbia TV station was also very excited.

"Cali America's powerful offensive compressed Sao Paulo to their half. The Brazilian couldn't even pass the middle line, so Cali America must get off to a good start."

The head coach of Cali America stood on the sidelines, waiting anxiously for the goal to be generated - in such a manic atmosphere, he seemed unable to sit quietly on the coach's seat.

But everything is always exceptional. Sao Paulo's head coach Osvaldo sat peacefully on the coach's seat and crossed his legs.

Cali America's tactics and performance were not beyond his expectations.

He told the players before the game what they would encounter on the road.

And in this game, Sao Paulo's tactical ideas were also very clear.

It's just a defensive counterattack

It is a waste to have two fast players, Glory and Kaka, without having to defend and counterattack...

Seeing that Colombia's Cali America still pressed like this, he was not worried about his team, but he was very happy.

Now he suddenly had a strange idea - I am not directing this game as the head coach, I am watching this game from the perspective of the fans...

※※※

After more than ten minutes of the game, Cali America has won two corner kicks in a row, with a total of six shots.

Sao Paulo only had one shot, but he hadn't kicked in the goal frame yet, and there was no corner kick at all.

It can be said that Cali America has completely gained an advantage.
To be continued...
