Chapter 135: Best Supporting Actor (Second Update)
Reinaldo said hello to Kaka after coming on the field, but did not say anything about the glory of the other side.
He has made glory air.
It's not just about saying hello.
He did the same after the game restarted.
When the football is at his feet, he can bring it himself, and if he can't bring it, he will pass the football out.
But he's never going to pass football to glory.
In the game, he also treated glory as air!
He'll pass to Kaka, to Ricardinho, to Baptista, even to the two full-backs who come in the back, but just not to Glory, even if it's better than anyone else.
Glory naturally knows what this is for.
Reinaldo is not happy with him, and it is not a matter of a day or two.
So seeing Reinaldo play, he didn't expect this bastard to pass the football to himself.
Of course, other teammates will pass the ball to him, but they are not in the same position as Reinaldo, and the passing is not the same as the threat.
So he's not as much of a threat to the goal as he used to be.
And Reinaldo is obsessed with working with Kaka, and the effect is also very bad.
The cooperation of two people is always not as good as the cooperation of three people, it is easy to be guessed, and it is much easier to defend.
After all, if two people play together, there are too few changes, and three people have more possibilities.
The so-called "one life gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things".
The invincible trident has lost its edge in this way.
※※※
"Reinaldo came on and couldn't match Wing at all...... That's normal, because they've never worked together before. His familiarity with Kaka is obviously greater than that of Sakae's ......" The narrator Cafury doesn't know much about the feud between Sakae and Reinaldo, so he gives this explanation for this phenomenon.
In the dugout, Osvaldo was also strange, saying to Mauro: "Reinaldo didn't pass a ball to Rong? ”
There was confusion in his tone, as if he was not quite sure.
Mauro nodded, confirming his doubts: "Yes, I also noticed that since he came out, he has not passed a single ball to Rong. ”
"Strange...... What's going on? ”
Mauro stretched out his hand, indicating that he didn't know what to do.
Although he is the coach of the team, it does not mean that he knows everything about the dressing room.
There are some more hidden things that they still don't know.
After all, there are no players who like to make small reports, and they don't report everything in the locker room to the coach - the players themselves hate this kind of small report people.
Therefore, it is normal that the head coach and assistant coach do not understand the relationship between Rongguang and Reinaldo.
"Haven't you practiced this tactic together?"
Osvaldo found an explanation for himself.
But Mauro didn't accept it: "Then it's not like there is no passing between them, right?" ”
"Let's take a look again...... Maybe it's because the playing time is too short. Osvaldo also felt that his explanation did not make sense.
After all, Reinaldo has only played five minutes now.
Both coaches decided to wait and see.
※※※
"No, there's a problem." After another ten minutes, Reinaldo had been on the pitch for fifteen minutes, and Osvaldo shook his head.
In fifteen minutes, Reinaldo really didn't pass the ball to Rongguang, and of course Rongguang didn't pass a single ball to Reinaldo.
This is no longer something that can be explained by the excuse that "we haven't practiced together".
"Isn't the relationship between the two of them good?" Osvaldo asked Mauro.
Mauro was just about to answer when he heard a sudden loud noise in the stands!
"Boom ——!"
On the field, Reinaldo forcibly passed the football when Kaka was in a bad position, and at this time, I saw a figure suddenly appear in Santos' back line and intercept the pass!
"Alex!"
Alex saw through Reinaldo's passing intentions - of course, in this position, Reinaldo would definitely pass to Kaka, who had already taken the glory of the other side as air.
If you can't guess this, you'll be in vain.
After breaking the ball, Alex did not stop, but passed the ball directly to the front, and Santos launched a counterattack!
Since Sao Paulo was on the offensive and most of the players were in Santos' half, they suddenly looked very passive in the face of Santos' counterattack.
"Back to ——!" There were São Paulo fans in the stands shouting in horror, and their voices were quickly drowned out by the huge cheers of the Santos fans.
Reinaldo, who realized what a mistake he had made, quickly turned to chase back, but he knew very well in his heart that the ball was probably lost......
But just as he turned around, he was surprised to see a white figure, chasing the football back to the backfield.
Who's that?!
Shocked, he finally saw the number clearly, the number 23 of São Paulo...... Glory!
It's that kid!
※※※
"This is a great opportunity for Santos! A pass error by Reinaldo gave them a chance to play on the counter-attack! And just now Sao Paulo is on the offensive and now they don't have anyone at the back! ”
Bueno shouted.
The Santos fans at the scene let out a huge cheer.
All eyes are on football.
I saw Santos pass three times and two down, and passed the football to the front of the penalty area in Sao Paulo.
This is already in range!
Robinho catches the ball.
In the face of Lugano, who was defending him head-on, he made his signature dribble on the bike!
Seeing Robinho do this, the cheers in the stands were even louder.
"It's coming! This is Robinho's best cycling! ”
The narrator was also excited.
Although pedaling a bicycle is also a very simple passing action, the effect is very good.
Robinho crossed his feet over the ball and combined with his swaying body left Lugano wondering which way he was going to break through.
Then Robinho gently flicked the football to the left with his left foot, accelerated and passed the outside of Lugano who was caught off guard, and burst into the penalty area!
This successful breakthrough brought the cheers in the stands to its peak, and at that moment, nothing could be heard except the cheers of the Santos fans!
Reinaldo, who had just run through the middle circle, had given up the chase, he just looked at this scene with a blank expression, he was already desperate.
But at this moment, a white figure swept through the São Paulo penalty area like lightning, and he struck into everyone's field of vision from the other side of Lugano, and then passed Lugano from behind and rushed towards the football!
As soon as Robinho accelerated around Lugano, he saw a Sao Paulo player already appear in front of him like a divine soldier!
He was so startled that he even slowed down for it.
But the one in front of him didn't slow down, he rushed up directly, and kicked the football out of the sideline with a big kick!
It was only at this time that he reacted and saw clearly who the uninvited guest in front of him was.
Glory!
It's him again!
Robinho instantly thought of the scene in the final round of the regular season of the Rio-Sao Paulo tournament.
That time, when he was counterattacking with the ball, he was overtaken from behind by Rongguang and then broke the football...... This time again!
What's the matter with this person, I recruited you to provoke you, why can't you get along with yourself?!
At this moment, Robinho felt the urge to cry......
※※※
"Robinho burst into the box! It's an excellent ...... for Santos Glory!! At the last word, Bueno exclaimed.
"Rong! Glory! At the most critical moment, Rong slaughtered back to the forbidden area! He's got his foot out of the way! Pretty! Santos' great opportunity is over! It's amazing! Rong showed his speed again! At a time when everyone had already given up, he didn't! He chased back from the front again! Yes, again! Because this is the second time he has saved the team against Santos! Even Cafurey was excited, and he said this with a strong "incredible" tone, as if it was quite unacceptable.
But in fact, the most unacceptable thing is the Santos fans in the stands.
Finally, their emotions were brewing, ready to celebrate the goal, and even some of them couldn't wait to cheer.
But now their cheers stopped abruptly.
In front of the Sao Paulo player who came out of nowhere, Robinho didn't even have a chance to shoot!
Who's that?!
Soon they saw clearly.
St. Paul's No. 23, Honor!
That kid again?!
After reacting, it can only be described as "shocked".
Twice in a row!
Santos's good deeds are all for this kid to mess up!
Is he Santos' nemesis?!
※※※
After Robinho swayed Lugano on his bike, Cheney had moved quickly to the near corner to block the shot.
His eyes are fixed on football, but he is also staring at Robinho.
He's guessing how Robinho will play.
Shoot above the near angle, or below, or simply shoot at the far angle?
No matter!
Instinctively!
Cheney finally made a decision in his heart, but just as his body tensed and was about to pounce, a figure suddenly rushed into his field of vision, and then kicked the football out of the air!
Glory?!
He saw who it was.
He suddenly let out a sigh of relief—the crisis was over.
So his first reaction was to run and pat Rong Guang on the shoulder: "Well done, Rong!" Thank you so much! ”
If it weren't for the glory to come back in time, he would have lost the ball, of course, he had to say thank you.
Rong Guang waved his hand: "I know that he is going to have such a problem." ”
He must have been talking about Reinaldo.
Cheney smiled helplessly - the relationship between these two people......
※※※
Reinaldo escaped, but instead of feeling grateful for the glory, Reinaldo's face instantly turned gloomy.
This bastard is using this opportunity to be in the limelight again!
Damn it!
He seems to be able to think of what the media will say about the glory after the game.
It is nothing more than "lightning fast", "saving the team from danger", "Reinaldo's savior"...... , who the is rare with his grace!
※※※
Osvaldo also saw it, and he said to assistant coach Mauro: "Tell the players, let's defend it!" ”
Mauro was not surprised by this decision.
It is clear that now the Trident will not do anything at all.
Instead of attacking, it is better to defend with peace of mind.
Anyway, 1-1 away is also an acceptable result for Sao Paulo.
So he went to the sidelines, called Ricardinho, and gave him a face-to-face lecture.
Ricardinho then returned to the pitch with the order.
The latest instructions from the head coach were then communicated to others.
When Reinaldo heard that the team was going to shrink the defense and couldn't continue to support him offensively, his eyes widened in disbelief - how could this be? I'm just about to make a big difference! Isn't this my hero coming in? I'm not attacking anymore, how the am I a hero?!
He was tempted to ask, "Why is this happening?" But he eventually held back - even if he was still a little bit of an IQ......
※※※
That's how Sao Paulo changed their tactics and they began to shrink their defence.
São Paulo is the perfect match for a counter-attack.
Without Fabiano, just play defensive counterattack, just rely on Glory and Kaka, there is no need for them to have any connection, these two alone are enough to directly threaten Santos's goal in a counterattack.
So when São Paulo really fought like this, Santos had no choice but to take São Paulo.
"It's so cunning!" The fans with Santos in the stands yelled in displeasure.
But it's not Santos supporters who are more upset than them, it's Sao Paulo's Reinaldo.
Because when the team decided to play this tactic, he lost the meaning of staying on the pitch.
The counterattack was all about glory and Kaka's performance, and his striker, who had no speed at all, basically lost his effect.
He can only defend back and play defensively – and that's exactly what the team demands from him.
You have to defend back and leave all the space in the front court to Glory and Kaka.
Leave it to Kaka, he willing. Leave it to glory? Unwilling!
But what if you are not reconciled?
In the current tactical environment, there is no room for him as a center forward.
Sao Paulo defended with all his might, and Santos couldn't attack for a long time.
In the end, when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, the score was still tied 1:1.
Sao Paulo got their wish and held for a draw away from home.
But they could have won.
So the São Paulo players looked very depressed at the end of the game - this game was so unlucky!
The Santos players are also depressed – we should be able to win! If it weren't for that Chinese kid......
But none of these people can compare to Reinaldo's depression.
What about the heroic savior of Lu? What about the success of a good goal? What about a blockbuster?!
Nothing.
When the game was over, all that was remembered about him was that wrong pass, and he was still a supporting role – a great supporting role for Glory who raced all the way back to the box from the front to clear the ball.
With this performance alone, he can compete for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
