The identity of the Stade Pakambu has changed constantly, from being the home of Palmeiras in the semi-finals of the Rio-São Paulo tournament to being the home of Corinthians in the Rio-São Paulo tournament final.
In fact, it does not belong to either Palmeiras or Corinthians.
It is a stadium that belongs entirely to the municipality of São Paulo.
Both Palmeiras and Corinthians have only rented the stadium.
In Brazilian football, this is normal. But not every football club has a stadium of its own like a club like São Paulo.
In Rio de Janeiro, the famous Maracanã is home to several Rio de Janeiro teams.
The Pakambu Stadium was also packed today, as it was the last match of the season in the Rio-São Paulo tournament.
Whoever wins the championship depends on this game.
“…… At the moment, it's clear that Corinthians have the upper hand...... In the first leg of the final between the two sides, Corinthians defeated Sao Paulo 3:2 away, and the current score is 0:0, and this score is maintained to the midfield, and Corinthians will win the championship! ”
"The whole São Paulo team looked a little absent-minded...... This is a game that will decide their fate! Whether the defending champions can end their Rio-São Paulo tournament with two consecutive titles is up to this match! But the players of São Paulo are not in form! It's damning! ”
"It's not just this game, Sao Paulo seems to be out of shape from the last game...... This is especially true of their core kaka. In the first leg of the final, Kaka was completely out of shape, and was replaced by Reinaldo after 70 minutes...... After the game, many media believed that Kaka's sluggish form was the main reason for Sao Paulo's defeat at home to Corinthians...... Since being selected for the 23-man squad for the Brazilian national team for the World Cup, Kaka has received a lot of criticism and criticism, and I think these criticisms must be the main reason for Kaka's sluggish form......"
The commentator has analyzed the last game very thoroughly.
Kaka's poor performance in the last game was indeed the main reason for the team's loss.
As the star of hope in São Paulo, Kaka has always been the image of a sunny big boy.
There didn't seem to be much to bother him.
When everyone found out that Kaka would also have a sad face, his emotions affected the mood of the whole team.
His form has affected the form of the whole team as well.
In the first leg of the final, Sao Paulo had a good start, leading by one goal in less than ten minutes.
But then they collapsed under the constant pressure of Corinthians, and finally lost 2:3.
The defeat at home pushed São Paulo to the brink of collapse.
Not only did they go down on aggregate, but they also allowed Corinthians to score three away goals.
It stands to reason that Sao Paulo should have fought back in the second round.
But......
The fighting spirit of São Paulo is still not visible.
It's been almost sixty minutes into the game, the score is still 0-0, Corinthians have the advantage on aggregate, this is their home again, so they don't have to rush, they deliberately slowed down the tempo. It is in their interest.
But it stands to reason that Sao Paulo, who should be in a hurry to score goals, also slowed down the pace and what to do!

"Kaka's form is really worrying...... assistant coach Mauro said, shaking his head. Is there still no way for him to get out of the criticism? ”
Osvaldo frowned and said, "Criticized and blamed by people all over Brazil...... The pressure is indeed too much. After all, Kaka had just turned twenty, and he was still a young man. ”
"So what to do, are we just watching the team lose this most important game?" Mauro asked.
Osvaldo fell silent.
He couldn't help it.
Kaka has always been a player in the team who can bring the atmosphere of the team. Because of his sunny temperament, everyone is willing to take him as the core. His joys and sorrows naturally affect other players unconsciously.
Now Kaka has come under criticism, as have the other Sao Paulo players.
It was as if he was sinking with Kaka and was depressed......
Mauro turned his head to look at the bench and saw that many of the players on the bench had the same expression - as if they were Kaka, under great pressure.
He snorted.
Then he saw the glory.
The rookie frowned, clenched his fists, and sat on the bench.
Just looking at his expression, he is no different from his teammates, but his fists are clenched.
Is he empathizing with Kaka too?
Mauro, who knows the relationship between Glory and Kaka, grinned: I don't believe it!
So what does he mean by this expression?
※※※
Looking at the unmotivated Sao Paulo players on the field, Glory frowned.
We lost by one goal in the first leg and we don't see any chance or hope of winning in this game......
Is my first championship about to pass me by?
He remembered what Godot had said to himself after the elimination of Palmeiras.
"Rong, this is really a good opportunity, to reach the final!"
"What's that, Godot?"
"If you can win the title, you'll be more famous, and that will help you get a better contract. The members of the championship team and the players of the non-championship team are completely different concepts. If you want to make more money, this championship is important to you. Glory. ”
I don't understand the glory of any champion player or non-champion player.
But when it comes to money, he immediately understands.
In order to make more money, he has to win this championship!
Champions equals money!
In the mind of Glory, this identity holds.
So he's probably more hungry for the Rio-São Paulo championship than any other player in the team.
In the first round, he didn't get a chance to play.
He sat on the bench for 90 minutes and watched the team lose 3-2 to Corinthians.
Because Sao Paulo didn't take the lead in the last moments or needed to hold on for a draw, there was no need to play in glory.
Watching the team take the lead in a good situation, but finally lost the game, Rongguang was very unhappy.
I thought that this game could turn the tide with a back-to-back fight, but what was the result?
It's the same as the last game...... No! It's not even as good as that!
At least we had two goals in the last game...... What about this game? So far, there have been no decent threatening shots!
Although Rongguang is a rookie, he has also played nine professional games and still has a basic understanding of football. You can see the good and the bad.
São Paulo's performance was clearly not good.
Damn it! Oh my champion!
Oh my money!
Can you be serious?!
It was as if he saw that the colorful banknotes had wings, and he flew away, farther and farther......
So Rongguang clenched his fists, frowned, and stared angrily at the players on the court, especially Kaka.
Aren't you the heart of the team, how can you perform badly?

Kaka picked up the ball in the middle and wanted to move forward, but he hesitated and missed his best passing opportunity. His front was quickly blocked by Corinthians' defenders.
Not to mention passing, he can't even dribble forward.
However, Kaka still did not choose to pass, he did not cross or return.
Pressed by the Corinthians players, he opted for a lateral dribble, taking the centre to the touchline.
"The wrong choice." Commentator Cavery shook his head.
In the process of horizontal dribbling, Kaka still did not find a way to transport the ball forward. Whether it's dribbling or passing...... Neither.
Corinthians' midfielder Wanpeta followed him all the time.
At this point, he can tear through Corinthians' defence as long as he passes the ball out. Because Wanpeta was with him!
Cocka didn't do that at all.
His vision narrowed suddenly, and he couldn't see the other teammates around him at all.
Eventually, he was pushed to the sideline by Wanpeta. If you want to play the ball again, there is no room left.
He tried to force his way through, only to find that Wanpeta had not given him such a chance at all.
So he changed his mind for a while, and suddenly he made an emergency stop and knocked the football backwards with his right heel!
He wanted to turn around and go around the inside.
Wanpeta didn't give him that chance.
When he slammed the ball backwards and turned around, Wanpeta saw through his strategy and turned around.
Got in front of Kaka again!
Kaka was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Wanpeta to see through his feint so quickly......
Wanpeta took advantage of the moment he was stunned and decisively broke it off!
The ball was picked up by Wanpeta and kicked off the sideline with Kaka's right foot.
Then Kaka was also shoveled out of the pitch by Wanpeta!
"Is it a foul?! No! The referee made a gesture of Corinthians to take a throw-in! ”
"This tackle looks vicious, but it's really not a foul...... Kaka is so sticky with the ball that he should have passed the ball quickly after being tangled up in Wanpeta on the sideline, even if it was back. But he didn't do it, he had to move forward, and that's how it turned out...... Even someone fell out of the sideline with the ball! ”
"It's embarrassing......" Seeing Kaka's dazed expression as he fell to the ground, Kafurui couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Kaka...... Woo-" The loyal fans of Kaka in the stands all covered their mouths with their hands and tears in their eyes when they saw this scene. Some even burst into tears.
That's what Correll and her friends are.
They couldn't help but feel heartache for Kaka when they saw Kaka being knocked off the pitch by Wanpeta and looked weak.
When Kaka was selected for the Brazilian national team, they celebrated it and were happy for Kaka.
But who would have thought that this matter would not be a good thing for Kaka, but a bad thing?
Then a torrent of criticism came to Kaka, and Kaka's form became increasingly sluggish.
Looking at Kaka like this, how sad and sad they are for these Kaka fans.
The sunny boy who was running like the wind on the court and was full of spirit was gone.
His eyes were filled with deep confusion.
A haze hung over his head, obscuring the bright sun.
Even though the weather in São Paulo has been good lately, the autumn is crisp. Kaka also seems to live in the cold winter......
Watching Kaka sink day by day, Correll and her friends are heartbroken.
They would even trade their happiness for Kaka's bright smile!
But they couldn't. They could only watch from the stands as Kaka fell helplessly to the ground, unable to do anything about it.
Someone reached out to Kaka, as if trying to pull him up.
But their hands reached out and only grabbed the air.
In the haze of tears, Correll suddenly saw a figure appear beside Kaka, looking down condescendingly at Kaka, who was still lying on the ground......
Is that bastard?!
Her eyes widened in surprise.
