Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Man Who Is Expected (Ask for Recommendations...)

When the match began, Luis Fabiano found himself heavily defended by Flamengo.
The defence against him has even reached the point where he is unable to leave - he has a dedicated Flamengo defender in the box to follow him, and if he withdraws out of the box and into the midfield, there is also a dedicated Flamengo midfielder to stick to him. From the penalty area to the back, it is completely seamless.
Luis Fabiano was not given the slightest respite, nor was Fabiano given any space.
Nelson Baptista used to be the head coach of Sao Paulo and knows the players in the Sao Paulo squad very well.
He knows very well that Fabiano is a well-rounded player, so he has to be pressed in all directions.
Such a player knows a little bit about everything, and you can't just guard his shots, or just guard his passes.
However, Fabiano knows a little bit about everything, but he is not proficient in anything, so it doesn't take too many people to come, and he needs one person to be able to freeze Fabiano. Because his own abilities are limited.
Fabiano is a key pawn in this trident strategy, and the reason why Glory and Kaka can be linked is all thanks to Fabiano.
Once Fabiano was unable to control the ball, the link between Glory and Kaka was severed.
Ten minutes into the game, the invincible Sao Paulo Trident, which was touted by the São Paulo media, did not show any threat at all.
Nelson O'Baptista sat in the dugout and was happy with the result.
I really want to thank the São Paulo reporter Grayson, who also pointed out in his analysis that Kaka and Rong have a discordant relationship, so it is absolutely impossible for the two of them to pass the ball to each other. As long as it is a trident, but in reality Flamengo players only need to face two people when defending.
As a midfielder, Kaka is not as good at passing the ball as Ricardinho, and his strengths are reflected in his attacks and long-range shots.
And Glory is about the same as him, but his abilities are inferior to Kaka in all aspects.
If these two can work together effectively, it will be a huge threat for Flamengo. But now, it doesn't pose much of a threat to flamenco.
Especially Rongguang, as a rookie, has too little experience, doesn't know many things, has a single feature, and is too easy to be frozen. Defending him is simply easier than defending Fabiano.
In this way, the biggest threat is Kaka.
Just be careful that he doesn't give him space near the penalty area.
Nelson Baptista has made rapid progress in the glory of the road, and in eight months, he has gone from a layman who knows nothing to become a regular player in the first team of Sao Paulo, which is indeed a rapid progress.
But that's about it.
No matter how fast he improves, can he still do the same thing every week?
Nelson O'Baptista thought so in his mind.
If his thoughts were known to Osvaldo, Mauro and the others, he would definitely nod his head and tell him: "Yes, this kid is just one thing a week!" ”
Unfortunately, there is no follow-up of the glory this August, Nelson Baptista lacks the most intuitive understanding of the speed of glory's progress.
He judged Glory according to common sense......
※※※
Fabiano admits he is in trouble, with the opposition marking him far more intense than in the previous two games.
He was originally a center forward, although he is more comprehensive and understands some passing organization things, but he can't compete with a full-time playmaker, and it is difficult to complete the task of passing and organizing the offense if he is disturbed in defense.
He could only pass the ball back to Ricardinho.
But Ricardinho is in the midfield position, a little far from the front.
Before the game, Osvaldo specifically told Ricardinho, signaling him that if Fabiano was targeted by the opponent, he would be more involved in the attack in the front court and turn the trident into a quadrant.
But Nelson O'Baptista is not an idiot either, and it is natural to expect Osvaldu to make such an adjustment. Because Ricardinho is the best playmaker in the Sao Paulo team, he will definitely be the first to think of him when he encounters a difficult situation in the trident.
So when Ricardinho pressed up, he was immediately pressed by the other Flamengo players, and the defense against him was no less than against Fabiano.
"Sure enough......" After seeing this scene, Mauro couldn't help but say.
They guessed this when they were doing the game rehearsal before the game.
Grayson's tactical analysis is so thorough, and Nelson Baptista knows the players of Sao Paulo so well, and the two sides are a perfect match together.
So as long as Ricardinho is used on his side, Nelson Baptista will definitely know what to do.
Ricardinho is São Paulo's best playmaker for passing, and Nelson Baptista will not be unaware.
The current game is a testament to their pre-match performance.
On a tactical level, they don't have much else to do. Because of Grayson's article, all their strengths and weaknesses are known to their opponents.
And it's certainly not just that.
But they don't bother to care about their opponents now. Let's get rid of flamenco first.
Osvaldo heard Mauro's words, but he didn't say anything, he just set his eyes on glory.
Ten minutes of play, nothing too good. But will he just sink like that in this game?
Osvaldo also knows a lot about what Rongguang has been practicing for the past two weeks, because Rongguang didn't deliberately hide from anyone when he was training in the training base. Anyone, as long as they want to see it, can easily see the glory on the first-team training ground.
If there is anything in this game that Nelson Baptista does not understand, it is probably on the body of glory.
But how has he practiced and will he be able to show it in the competition?
Osvaldo is not very clear.
He stared at the glory, quite a bit of "wait and see" meaning.
※※※
The glory is full of wanting to silence the Maracanã Stadium.
But in the first ten minutes, he didn't have much of a chance to play.
Because the main offensive force of the team is on Fabiano and Ricardinho. But they were so closely guarded by the flamengo players that they couldn't wear the football at all.
Instead, Flamengo took advantage of the opportunity to tackle the ball at the feet of Fabiano and Ricardinho and created two counter-attacking opportunities, one of which was quite threatening.
How Fabiano and Ricardinho were frozen, Glory can see clearly.
After playing so many games, he also has his own interpretation of the situation on the field.
Fabiano and Ricardinho are frozen, and it will be difficult for the team's attack to push up. Because these two organizers can't hold the ball, the two fullbacks don't dare to press it easily, otherwise the opponent will break the ball and hit him directly behind him, and the two wings will be empty!
As for Kaka...... Glory is not at all surprised that he also fell into the quagmire.
Ah...... Glory suddenly found that when attacking, everyone else was helpless, and at this time, it was really time for me to appear on the stage!
Although Rong Gang himself also had Flamengo defenders with him, Rong Guang didn't take the other party seriously at all. All he could think about was how to be in the limelight on the pitch, as if the defenders of Flamengo didn't exist.
He looked at what was happening in front of him.
Flamengo's defenders are well positioned, layered and have defensive depth. No matter how much you move, the position is well maintained and looks flawless.
It's no wonder that Kaka can't do anything about them.
Kaka's style of play is on the soft side, and when the Flamengo players are a little more aggressive defensively, Kaka is in trouble.
But......
Glory flicked his head to the left and his head to the right, taking a closer look at the Flamengo backline.
Then he smacked his lips: "That's all this defense......"
He spoke directly to his thoughts.
Compared to the criss-crossed, jumble pipes on the rooftop of his house, Flamengo's defense is really nothing. There are more gaps between them than between those tubes! And with my teammates helping me distract the other defenders, it was a lot easier than being alone on the rooftop and battling those cold tubes.
When Rong Guang thought and said this, he completely ignored the flamengo players around him.
Gershino, who was standing next to him, listened to all the glorious self-talk.
He was a player who was specially arranged by head coach Nelson O'Baptista to defend Glory before the game.
As soon as the glory enters the forty-meter range, it must be attached.
So he's by the side of Glory now.
However, ten minutes into the game, Sao Paulo's attack ended most of the time at the feet of Fabiano and Ricardinho, and did not pass much. So his defensive job is easy.
Unexpectedly, he heard Rong Guang say this.
He was stunned for a moment before he realized what Rong Guang was talking about!
He suddenly felt humiliated.
Fuck, it's clear that you don't have anything to do well or not! I don't know how long your brain is, how you can come to the conclusion that my defense is not very good! Damn it!
Actually, he still misunderstood...... Glory's poor defense has not included him, because Glory does not ignore the flamengo player next to him at all......
If the truth is known, it is estimated that Gershino may be furious, right?
Glory ran away from where he was.
He was looking for his own opportunities.
Seeing him run away like this, an angry Gershino quickly followed.
At the same time he clenched his fists - this game must give you some color and see, you don't want to get rid of it in front of me, rookie! Score? You won't even have a shot!
