Chapter 40 Before the Game(1/2)

Rongguang has been trying long shots in the youth team's game. However, it is not the kind of long shot that stands in place, but is always under the opponent's defense.

This is the same situation he simulated when practicing alone.

Use your speed to shake your opponent away and take the opportunity to shoot without hesitation.

After four attempts, Rongguang blasted the youth team's goal with a long shot.

Fabiano, who was closest to him, went up and slapped him in high-fives.

I saw that the first team stars all had such a harmonious relationship with Glory.

The players on the youth team are completely out of temper.

When Rongguang first first went to the first team, many of them were very dissatisfied. Just like Kleber, they thought that their abilities were stronger than Rongguang in any aspect. Why did Rongguang, who ended up going to the first team, not themselves?

This kid is so lucky!

But he can't walk far by luck!

They are full of jealousy.

This emotion is gone now.

Because they found that they were not people from the same world as Glory... just as they and Kaka were not people from the same world either.

They saw the efforts and performance of Glory.

They can't do those performances on the court when they ask themselves.

If Glory does it, people will be qualified to play the main force in the first team.

When the team hadn't started training, he was already training alone.

During everyone's lunch break, he trained alone on the training ground.

As everyone finished their training and ran towards Sao Paulo's colorful nightlife with excitement, glory remained and continued to train on the training ground.

There is only a row of woods between the youth team training ground and the first team training ground. They are not blind and they all see it.

They may be able to do it once or twice. But they persevere and do this every day, regardless of wind or rain... No one can do it except glory.

Since they can't do it, don't be dissatisfied with their success.

※※※

Seeing Glory and his teammates simply celebrated the goal.

Mauro on the sidelines told Osvaldo: "Rong's progress is so fast. This week's long-range shooting practice has paid off so quickly."

Osvaldo nodded.

Although Rongguang used four-foot long shots to kick the football into the goal, the way of scoring with long shots was already a big surprise and accidental. No one can guarantee that every long shot can score, and even the best player in the world who is good at long shots cannot do it.

What is important is the change and progress of glory in this process.

Osvaldo and Mauro both saw it.

In the last game against San Caetano, Glory was obviously looking for feelings and groping.

In this game, Rong Guang's four-foot shot seemed full of confidence. He was no longer looking for a long shot, he was just looking for a goal.

In one week, I learned remote shooting very much.

Such learning ability...

Osvaldo shook his head. He was shocked by Glory's learning ability more than once. Now, there is nothing new about saying "It's so scary".

"There are three days left to continue to strengthen his long-range shooting training. We will give Fluminense a big surprise in the next round of the game."

Osvaldo said.

※※※

Rongguang was replaced after only half of the game.

But it's not because he's not doing well.

Not only him, Kaka, Fabiano, Baptista...the main players in the first team were replaced.

They need a break.

The purpose of the warm-up match is to find the form of the game, but they don't need to go all out in the game.

Due to the World Cup, the Brazil National Championships this season was postponed until mid-August. The end date has not changed in December.

From mid-August to mid-December, four months will be played in all twenty-six rounds of the regular season, and there will be three rounds of the playoffs. The events are very intensive.

So many competitions are double competitions a week, almost every three days.

The competition is intensive and the players need rest.

The purpose of maintaining and investigating the status has been achieved.

※※※

Before the match against Fluminense, Rongguang still seized the time to train himself.

You cannot stop the long-range shooting exercises every day on the training ground.

The strength of the legs and waist and abdominal muscles in the gym are also doing it every day.

In addition, when training home in the evening, it was still continuing to climb the stairs with loads.

At night on the rooftop, Rong Guang was still playing the sand ball.

From the beginning, only one meter away from the wall, Rongguang can now kick the football at the wall three meters away.

He did feel his legs and waist and abdomen increasing.

In those long shots against the youth team, the glory felt very deep.

The speed of the ball he shot also increased.

For the 11th round of the upcoming tournament against Fluminense, Rongguang is already a little impatient.

※※※

Just as Glory trained hard for the match against Fluminense.

The hype about this game in the media has also begun.

In the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship in the first half of the year, Sao Paulo once challenged Flumenense away. The score was 0:5 at the time. Sao Paulo's away defeat was simply a shame.

That game also led to the dismay of Glory's first coach, Valdema de Oliveira.

Now that the two teams meet again, Fluminense fans naturally have to use this game to talk about it.

The Rio media led readers to review the game with great fanfare, calling it a "classic showdown" - for the Rio people, the game that slaughters the Saint Paulians can indeed be called a "classic".

The Rio people and Sao Paulo people like to compete for the best in politics, economy, culture and football. It is not surprising that such contradictions are the same.

São Paulo is the economic center of Brazil, and Rio de Janeiro is the cultural and tourism center of Brazil. São Paulo is a modern metropolis and the largest city in South America. Rio de Janeiro claims to be the "City of God".

The opposition in football is more obvious.

This is how the Rio-Saint Paul Championship, which has already died.

Rio State has a strong team, and St. Paul is not to be outdone.

Every time the teams of the two states meet, it is an eye-catching showdown.

Not to mention the civil war between the Thirteenth Club.

Fluminense and Sao Paulo are both famous families in Brazil, and their fights are indispensable to the media's attention.

The mentality of Fluminense fans and Rio's media shows that they are relaxed and they are optimistic that Fluminense defeats Sao Paulo.

Their confidence comes from two aspects, one is Fluminense's own results. They have won both the last two rounds of the competition.

On the other hand, it comes from Sao Paulo's results. Sao Paulo has lost both games in the last two rounds.

By comparing the two, anyone can easily draw the conclusion that "Sao Paulo is in a sluggish state" and "Fluminense is in a good state".

Fluminense, who is in good shape, meets Sao Paulo in a low shape... Is there any suspense in this game?

Compared with Rio's optimism, the media in Sao Paulo are still arguing about Osvaldo's double midfielder tactics.

"Scoreboard" once again published an article signed by Grayson, criticizing Osvaldo's whimsical tactics.

"...If you use goals and assists to measure how a player performs, then in the last game against San Caetano, Rong's performance could be barely called "excellent". But at the same time, Kaka was in trouble. So this is the truth of Osvaldo's tactics - one person is good, the other person is definitely bad. These two people are absolutely impossible to coexist. The result of coexistence is that one of them will be sacrificed! Sacrifice Rong or Kaka?"

At the press conference the day before the game, when reporters found that Osvaldo once again put Glory and Kaka on the starting lineup at the same time, they all felt that Osvaldo was hopeless.

"Maybe he was thinking about his old love and didn't want to defeat Fluminense, so he came up with such a solution, which is not necessarily true?" Grayson spread his hands at the press conference and sarcastically.

The team Osvaldo coached before coaching Sao Paulo was Fluminense.

To be honest, he is still St. Paul's "enemy".

Because the tragedy that Sao Paulo lost to Fluminense 0:5 away in the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship in the first half of the year was created by Osvaldo led Fluminense...

※※※

Kaka has been chatting with teammates in their room - he really doesn't want to stay in his room because he was assigned to the same room with Rongguang again. Since the away game against the international team, he and Rongguang have been arranged to live in the same room before each game.
To be continued...
