Chapter 54: Calm (Ask for Recommendation)

When Kaka turned away from Wanpeta and then threatened Dida's goal with a long-range shot, Leonardo exclaimed excitedly in the box: "Beautiful! ”

After yelling, he smiled apologetically at Galliani.

Galliani didn't say anything.

How could he not know that Leonardo was doing it for himself?

I was questioning Kaka's level before, and Kaka came to such a beautiful turn to get rid of the plus shot.

He admits that Kaka is very beautiful this time.

But this is only one time.

If there is only one wonderful performance, it will not mean anything.

Even the most amateur player can play in the world.

If you just look at the highlights of a certain player's performances, everyone is the king of the ball.

You have to watch the whole game and see how he performs throughout the game.

The Brazilian youngster's performance in the first 60 minutes was a failure, and AC Milan will not be able to beat AC Milan if they don't produce anything to change his mind in the last 30 minutes.

Leonardo also knows this, and a flash performance will never scare an old fox like Galliani.

He sat back and secretly prayed that Kaka would be able to continue to perform well in the rest of the game, as he usually would.

He firmly believes that Kaka, as long as he plays normally, will be enough to impress AC Milan.

※※※

was provoked by Kaka in person, how could Glory swallow this breath.

"Bastard!" He spat hard behind Kaka.

Dare to underestimate me?

For the first sixty minutes, I don't know who was sleepwalking like an idiot, but it wasn't me anyway!

Next, he's going to use his performance to return the color!

I'm no worse than Kaka!

But he didn't have a chance......

Corinthians are very strict with his defense, not much worse than Kaka.

If you want to say that the team that is most impressed by the glory, it must be Corinthians.

Because Glory became famous as a rookie to a goal, the opponent was Corinthians.

It was in the match against Corinthians that Glory scored a shocking goal, and he single-handedly helped Sao Paulo to finally defeat Corinthians.

Later, everyone knew that Corinthians were defeated by a beginner who had only been learning football for more than a month, and Corinthians became the laughing stock of many people.

The defeat was unforgettable for the Corinthians team, whose head coach was dismissed by the angry Corinthians club president Duaribi because of this humiliating defeat.

So when they met, Pereira learned the lessons of his predecessor, Jeninho.

A very tight defense was arranged for Glory.

If he doesn't get into the 30-metre zone, it's okay to say, as long as he tries to break into Corinthians' defensive third, he'll face a high-intensity close defense of Corinthians players that will make him run at all.

Experienced defenders against Glory, this move is enough.

Anyway, Rongguang is not good at dribbling - before the game against Santos, this assessment was "not able to dribble", in a sense, Rongguang's special training has indeed brought him a lot of progress - as long as he defends closely and squeezes him outside.

Pereira has studied the previous Sao Paulo matches, especially against Santos.

In fact, Santos's previous defense was very successful, but when Glory missed the goal, they rushed to counterattack and immediately forgot about it. As a result, the formation was pulled apart, and there were too many openings that could be exploited by Glory.

In the end, the glory did not "disappoint" them either. He went from defending to counterattacking, and came a dragon.

The way to deal with Rongguang is actually very simple, everyone knows that the way is to compress the space, especially the space behind him, and not give Rongguang the distance to sprint, so that no matter how fast he is, it is useless, because he is not good at controlling the ball.

The situation now lends itself well to Corinthians employing this tactic of shrinking the defence.

With Corinthians leading on aggregate, there was no need for them to risk going out to play São Paulo, in which case if they were cut off, it would be the end of the world......

They don't want to be pierced by the glory dragon anymore.

So they can play defensive counter-attacks with peace of mind and let São Paulo play positional battles. In positional warfare, glory is of no use at all.

From this point of view, the 3-2 away win over Sao Paulo in the first leg is particularly important.

If Corinthians are left to the point where they have to attack at home, it will be a much harder game to play.

※※※

Glory was anxious, he still remembered what head coach Osvaldo said.

If you don't perform well, you'll be replaced!

He didn't want to be replaced.

In that case, you will be a laughing stock......

And he saw that Kaka's performance was recovering, which made him even more anxious.

The Corinthians defence recycled deep and was mainly used to defend São Paulo with the speed of glory to hit them behind.

But in doing so, it gave another person an opportunity.

Kaka is now comfortable getting rid of Wanpeta in midfield.

After getting rid of Wanpeta's defense, he also does not rush into the box, and whenever he has the opportunity, he will not hesitate to shoot with his feet!

It's all long-range shots!

Because Corinthians' back line was pressed very far back by Glory, there was no way to come up and block Kaka's shot in the first place, so Kaka hit several unguarded long shots.

The last kick even forced Dida to make a good save to keep the ball out of the line and Sao Paulo awarded a corner.

"Kaka's form is really getting better and better, and these shots are at the same level as he used to be!"

Although he didn't score, after every shot, Kaka waved his fist and cheered himself on.

He's checking the crosshairs!

He felt like he was infinitely close to scoring!

He had this thought in his heart, very strongly, telling him that he was going to score!

※※※

That moment came in the 72nd minute, and 10 minutes after Glory came on, Kaka once again got rid of Wanpeta's entanglement in the middle, faced the goal, and from 33 meters from the goal, he shot from distance!

"Kaka again—"

In the announcer's elongated roar, the ball drew a very clear arc in the air, bypassing the defenders in the box and the ten fingers of goalkeeper Dida......

And then plunged headlong into the net!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Kaka! Kaka! Ka Ka !! Kaka pulls a goal back for Sao Paulo! 1:0! On aggregate, Sao Paulo drew 3:3 with Corinthians!! ”

The São Paulo fans in the stands erupted in a loud cheer, like a volcanic eruption.

They've finally arrived!

Sao Paulo finally scored!

Kaka has finally scored!

He's back to normal!

After the goal, Kaka pointed his hands to the sky, looked up and muttered prayers to thank God.

He believes that the matter of the Brazilian national team squad must be a test for him.

If he fails this test, he may sink completely.

But well, he finally defeated the demons in his heart and passed the test!

This goal is proof of that!

Of course, when Kaka was in ecstasy, he naturally didn't remember how he defeated his demons......

※※※

Seeing Kaka score, the rest of Sao Paulo's players rushed to him to celebrate the goal with him.

Only one person is an exception.

When Glory shot at Kaka, he rushed into the penalty area, hoping to get a chance to make a follow-up shot.

Because Kaka's shots had not scored before, he also scolded Kaka for passing the ball to him instead of wasting such a chance. Of course, Kaka can't pass the ball to him, just as he won't pass the ball to Kaka......

But this time, Rongguang, as before, did not get a chance to make up shots.

This time, it wasn't Kaka who shot the bottom line, and it wasn't Dida who saved it.

This time, the ball flew straight into the goal!

He scored!

Rongguang was stunned for a moment.

But he soon continued to rush forward until he reached the goal.

At his speed, before goalkeeper Dida could react, he turned around and returned with the football in his arms.

Kaka scored, he wasn't going to celebrate. At the same time, he didn't have time to celebrate.

Ten minutes had passed, and he hadn't come up with a good performance...... He was in a hurry.

He was afraid that he would be replaced by Osvaldo next.

In order not to be substituted, he had to be positive before he scored.

※※※

Kaka was celebrating the goal, but when he turned his head, he saw Glory through the crack and ran towards the center circle with the football in his arms.

He realized what if he scored a goal. Sao Paulo drew 3-3 with Corinthians on aggregate, but Corinthians had three away goals to St. Paul's one.

The score will remain until the end, and Corinthians will also rely on away goal difference to win the championship!

yes, what am I happy about here?

We haven't won yet!

The rookie was more sober than he was, which made Kaka's face a little feverish.

What's wrong with me......

How can you not behave as steadily as a novice?

If Kaka Zhilu is so positive and just doesn't want to be replaced sooner, he may vomit blood for his guilt performance - it is a waste of expression to ask a rookie who doesn't know anything with the mentality of a mature player!

※※※

"It seems that only Rong in the whole team has kept calm at this time, which is really not easy." Assistant coach Mauro was also pleased with Rongguang's performance.

"This rookie always brings us some unexpected surprises." Osvaldo, the head coach next to him, also praised Glory.

Kaka's goal eased some of the tension a bit, so he also had the leisure to comment on the glory with Mauro.

As the head coach of the first team, he sees the progress of Glory, and every improvement of Glory makes him firm in the idea of keeping Glory in the first team.

If he thought Glory could do the first team a favor, he didn't have that idea at the time.

He just felt that this kid was making rapid progress, and wanted to keep him by his side, so that he could see what progress he made for the first time...... This is the kind of watching a person start from scratch, know nothing, and gradually grow into a qualified football player...... It's a really good feeling.

But I didn't expect Glory to stay in the first team, but he saved the team more than once...... became the "Mr. Key" in São Paulo.

When Kaka, Ricardinho and others were injured one after another, and Sao Paulo's first team couldn't even get an eighteen-man squad, Glory exploded against Corinthians and performed well in three consecutive games since then, helping Sao Paulo get out of the predicament and get through the most difficult period.

In the crucial match against Santos for a place in the semi-finals, Sao Paulo ended up third in the semi-finals thanks to his outstanding performance as a substitute for glory.

If it weren't for the glory, São Paulo probably wouldn't even have a chance to compete with Santos for the top four, let alone reach the final in one go......

And now Kaka's goal, to put it bluntly, is actually because of glory.

It was precisely because Corinthians were afraid of Glory's speed and contracted the defense too hard that Kaka was given many opportunities to shoot from outside the penalty area. The same goes for his goal.

If Glory hadn't played, Kaka would never have had so many chances to calmly get up and shoot from distance on the edge of the Corinthians penalty area.

It seems that Kaka has unlimited scenery during this time, and Glory doesn't seem to have much opportunity to perform.

But it was precisely because Corinthians shifted the focus of their defense to the glory that had brought them great humiliation that Kakako took advantage of it.

Of course, Kaka's previous slump of more than 60 minutes has also helped him, allowing Corinthians to defend him less tightly than before.
