Chapter 64: Try Again (Ask for a Monthly Pass)

Because of Glory's surprisingly good performance in the first half, Osvaldo also made corresponding adjustments at halftime.
He gave Glory more freedom and possession.
Let others draw the defensive attention of the Flamengo back line for Glory and create opportunities for Glory.
Kaka didn't say anything, and it was clear that he had been outdone by glory in this game. While he was still stuck in Flamengo's defensive quagmire, Glory had already scored two goals and became the team's biggest reliance in the second half.
He sat there clenching his fists.
Rongguang is very satisfied with the manager's arrangement - that's right
He patted his chest and boasted to everyone: "When the time comes, you will see."
※※※
After the resumption of the second half, Flamengo did not sit idly by and launched an aggressive attack.
Of course, they didn't forget to take strict precautions against glory.
Amid the wild cheers of the home fans, Flamengo launched wave after wave of attacks towards the goal of São Paulo.
They used a strong attack to push the whole Sao Paulo team back into their half.
I have to say that on their home turf, Flamengo is still doing very well.
They equalised in the 58th minute with a direct free-kick.
"22 Flamengo finally equalized beautifully"
"It's really a high-profile strong dialogue, this game is very exciting, both sides are not to be outdone"
The neutral commentator was the happiest to see Flamengo score, because that way the game was good-looking......
They don't want to see a one-sided fight, that's not interesting.
Only when you come and go, attacking and defending each other, can it be considered a wonderful game.
Flamengo stubbornly equalised, which greatly stimulated the Flamengo fans in the stands.
They again raised the noise of more than 100,000 people in the stands.
The Maracanã is home to many teams, but it is only when it is the home of Flamengo that it feels a good match.
※※※
Osvaldo didn't pay much attention to the goal he conceded, he just stared at glory.
He knows what São Paulo can achieve in this game, and it all depends on what glory has played.
It's not just him, Flamengo's head coach Nelson O Baptista is also eyeing glory.
When the team scored, he didn't celebrate for long before setting his sights on glory.
It is now clear to him that Glory has become the most dangerous player in Sao Paulo. But he didn't know enough about Rongguang, and he didn't know what else Rongguang could perform, so he had to keep an eye on it.
He can't let other players defend Glory, because the defensive tactics are all arranged before the game, and whoever defends is particular.
If the current defensive arrangement is disrupted rashly, a cascade of problems could arise.
Kaka, Fabiano and Ricardinho didn't have much to do for anything as their own defense froze them. It's like a magic seal.
If the people who were supposed to defend them were mobilized to defend Glory, then the seal against them would inevitably be loosened, and they would be given an opportunity to take advantage of.
These people are not unknown juniors.
If they are given space, it will be too late to regret it.
※※※
As the flamengo players celebrated their goals, Glory heard the loud cheers from the stands again
The aura of more than 60,000 people is still very strong.
Their shouts resounded through the air, as if a storm had been set off inside the Maracanã stadium.
Glory stood on the field, his hair blown by the storm.
I don't think I've ever heard of the silence of this stadium......
Neither of his first two goals could quiet the pitch.
Good
Keep up the good work
I'm going to shut you up
Rong Guang looked at those flamenco fans in the stands and thought with high spirits.
He took his eyes off the stands and looked at the Flamengo defenders opposite.
In front of him, these Flamengo defenders lined up in two teams, blocking between themselves and the goal.
The defensive formation is still very good......
If you want to score, you have to break through these two lines, right?
In his eyes, those defenders have become tubes on the roof of his house.
The gap is huge......
Try it
※※※
In the next game, Rongguang got closer and closer to the opponent's defense, and after getting the ball, he would choose to break through with the ball most of the time.
He tried three times, all of them failed.
The best result was to burst into the box but not get a shot on goal.
In a box with a dense number of defenders, it is not easy for him to get up and shoot.
Although no shots were given, no one complained that Glory had wasted attacking opportunities.
Because compared to the others, Glory is the only player in Sao Paulo who can threaten the Flamengo goal at the moment.
He can't do it alone, because other teammates don't give it a try.
It's remarkable that Glory was able to get the ball into Flamengo.
The São Paulo fans in the stands and in front of the TV will only cheer and praise and regret, but there will be absolutely no complaints and dissatisfaction with the glory.
Seeing Glory fighting alone, they will even feel moved......
※※※
Sao Paulo's assistant coach Mauro is also not focused on the final result, he has been staring at glory.
He's looking at the glory of the extraordinary.
So far, Rongguang has used "croquettes", and he has really brought the results of his two weeks of training to the fullest.
A simple "croquette" was stunned to play a new trick for him......
It is not the same to use "croquettes" in front of one person and in front of two people at the same time.
It can be seen that Rong Guang has put a lot of effort into this, and he has used his brain to think about how to pass people, rather than simply repeating this mechanical repetition after learning this extraordinary action, regardless of the indiscriminate, simple and rude copy and paste on any occasion.
※※※
Others may be appreciating what the glory shows.
But once again, Glory is different from everyone's thinking—he always screws it up like this.
When everyone thought he should give up, he chose to persevere.
When everyone thought he was an incomprehensible idiot, he didn't bow his head.
Now, while everyone is already happy with his performance, he himself is very dissatisfied.
His third breakthrough was the only time he dribbled into the box, but unfortunately he was surrounded by people and he couldn't get up and shoot at all.
Just as he was about to force his foot to shoot, the ball was poked out by the Flamengo defender who was defending him.
And then his offense came to an end.
Although the breakthrough earned the team a corner, head coach Osvaldo on the sidelines applauded and encouraged him.
But just watching the football being poked out of the bottom line by the other party, Rongguang still shook his head.
No, no......
Although the gap between these people is larger than that of the pipes, the pipes are fixed to the roof and will not move
And these flamengo players, they will move.
At most, I only had to face two pipes on the rooftop, and I just faced four people at the same time on the court, both in front and behind
Once in the encirclement, there is trouble.
It's okay to say outside the penalty area, but the problem is the most serious in the penalty area.
Outside the penalty area, he can also use his speed to shake off opponents, no matter how fast he is in the penalty area, it is useless, he has to be fast with his feet
If you are a little slow on your feet, the opponent will seize the opportunity to stab the football...... Just like that.
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up under your feet
Try again

Gershino turned his head to look at Glory and saw that he was shaking his head.
What does that mean?
The anger in Gershino's heart was burning.
Glory has been active during this time, which means that his defense has been a failure.
He seems to have a premonition that he will soon be replaced by head coach Nelson O. Baptista - he doesn't know that Nelson Ao has no one to replace in his position.
There was a sense of crisis in his heart that made him very urgent.
No, I'm going to stop him
I'm going to have to stop him
He must not be allowed to enter the penalty area again like he did just now
Although there was no shot on goal this time, who knows if it will be next time?
It would have been a dereliction of duty to let him into the restricted area
※※※
When São Paulo's attack came up again, Glory also pressed in front of the opponent's first line of defense.
Baptista gave him football – now that Glory is the best player in São Paulo, everyone will consciously give him football, which is a kind of trust.
They believe glory can open the deadlock for the team.
He has already proven it twice in this game.
They look forward to the third time of glory.
Before Glory could catch the football, Gershino bumped into him from the side and knocked him out.
Gershino fully learned the previous lesson丨 It is very close to the glory, and before the football is passed, he can stick to the glory and not give him any time and space to control the ball.
He didn't believe that such glory could be out of his grasp......
Wait a minute
What's going on?
Gershino stared at his eyes wide, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
He had clearly knocked the glory out of the way just now......
He thought Glory would lose his balance and stumble to the ground. But who thought that Glory would take advantage of his collision, get out of his control, and run towards the football...... He received the ball
Originally, he wanted to knock Rongguang over, and he would rather foul than give Rongguang this chance.
But what did he think about it, but it gave Rongguang a chance to get rid of him
Now the two of them are four or five meters apart, and he can't reach the whip
※※※
Rongguang successfully took advantage of Gershino's collision and received the football in advance.
He didn't stop just like that when he caught the football.
He knew very well that he had to run to have a chance, and if he stood dead, the opportunity was gone.
So when he received the football, he used the outside of his right foot to flick the ball diagonally behind his body, and then he turned around, and his body was almost falling to the ground, but finally he maintained his balance and completed the turn.
He did this because he wanted to turn his body in a small radius, so naturally he could only tilt his body a little more, otherwise he would have to go around in a big circle, and by the time he got around, the football would have been cut off by the opposing defenders.
Sure enough, his difficult turn was something that Flamengo's defenders didn't expect.
Their response was half a beat slower than Glory's, allowing Glory to turn around and regain the ball before they did
"Beautiful turn Eiji's body balance and coordination are awesome"
The narrator, Cafory, exclaimed, but he immediately changed his tune.
"But this time the choice to turn was wrong, he should have moved to the wing, not to the middle. In this way, he compresses all the defenders in the middle, whether it is to break or pass, he has no room......"
Cafurey didn't say the subtext, so he naturally questioned the glory of the ball businessman. But he kept saying this, and it was easy to be offended, so he was silent.
But everyone could hear it.
A wrong choice, what is the use of turning around before, no matter how beautiful it is? It's just a beautiful death.
By moving the ball to the middle, he squeezed all the Flamengo players into the middle.
It's the rhythm of turning around and hitting a wall
Even supporters of São Paulo, who had been looking forward to glory, frowned, feeling that the situation was not good.
This offensive could be worse......
