On the day of the "solemn derby", there was still an hour and a half before the start of the game, and the fans of both sides began to enter.

Outside the Molumbi Stadium, the buzzing Brazilian fans treated every game as if it were a carnival, showing off their unusual style.

The fans in Brazil are crazy and imaginative.

It's like their national character.

Brazilian fans will be able to put their entertainment and creativity to the fullest in football.

In other countries, many Brazilian fans would be considered to behave eccentrically at best, and at worst to be considered mentally ill. But in Brazil, they will be revered as role models. Fans who express their passion as exaggeratedly as they are called Torcedores-simbolo (fan symbols), as if they are the most passionate ambassadors and do not care about the feelings of others.

This is Brazilian football.

In addition to the passionate stars, these ordinary Brazilian fans are also an integral part of Brazilian football.

Healthy and joyful fans are a tradition of Brazilian football. They are a mix of different races, genders, and ages that sing and dance. They are noisy and colorful, ready for a banquet at any time.

Brazilians, as they are often called, brought Carnival to the football stands.

This "solemn derby" is no exception.

Because it was such an important derby, the fans were not even affected by the recent two-game winless run in Sao Paulo, and they wore bright shirts, dressed up in fancy clothes, and showed themselves in front of the cameras of media reporters.

Correll followed his father in line and was surrounded by São Paulo fans. Correll and her friends are all fans of Sao Paulo because of Kaka, so the tickets they buy are naturally in the stands where Sao Paulo fans gather.

Although Cui Hao, a father, is a fan of Corinthians, in order to take care of his daughter's safety, he can only follow the fans of Sao Paulo.

He didn't wear a Corinthians shirt to avoid any danger – in Brazil, there are some fan brawls after important derbies and stabbing people to death. Therefore, when Cui Hao accompanied his daughter to watch the game, he would not reveal his identity as a Corinthians fan.

They lined up in the middle of the line, following the rest of the São Paulo fans.

The chatter of the surrounding São Paulo fans all reached Corell's ears.

"Majestic Derby...... As soon as I said this, I have fond memories of it......"

"Ha, I know it! You're talking about Rong, right? ”

"Ah, yes, yes! It's that Chinese kid, it's amazing! In the first solemn derby of the first half of the year, I still remember the scene when he came off the bench......"

"I'm looking forward to today's race more than I look back on the past. What do you think Rong's rookie will do? ”

"Ha Luha, I'm looking forward to it too, it's really curious......"

"Didn't the newspaper say that the first club that Rong came into contact with in São Paulo was Corinthians? As a result, Corinthians turned him down...... Thank you so much Corinthians! I think Wing will have a great performance against Corinthians! ”

"Hehe, I'm a little excited when I think about what kind of surprising performance Lu Daorong will have against Corinthians......"

Corell was stunned.

Although those fans are still calling "rookie" Glory, it seems that ...... It's not a contemptuous title anymore, and those fans say it with intimacy in their tones.

"Rookie" is like a glorious "nickname". Just like "Garrincha" and "Pele".

There is nothing pejorative, it has become a glorious business card. When it comes to "rookie", everyone knows that Lang Dao is talking about glory.

And compared to the change in the meaning of the title, what made her feel more incredible was that listening to everyone's words, the words revealed the expectation of glory. Seems to be interested in what he will do in the next game, like buying a lottery ticket and waiting for the draw. Everyone's expectations for Kaka don't seem to be so deep......

"How can this be...... "Corell muttered.

Cui Hao smiled: "Yunyun, this is the magic of glory." ”

"Magic?"

"Yes, when we first met him at the grand derby seven months ago, he was a rookie who had only studied football for a little over a month. But since then, everybody has seen how quickly he's improved, and it seems like he's going to improve every game. Every game, he puts on an unexpected performance. Do you think so? His dribbling, his dribbling, his shots, his long-range shots...... So when everyone mentions him, they can't help but start looking forward to it, wanting to see what new things he can come up with in the game with him. ”

After Cui Hao finished speaking, seeing that his daughter did not say anything, he glanced down and found that his daughter lowered her head, as if she was contemplative, so he no longer bothered her, but accompanied her, together with others, and walked forward silently.

After the warm-up, the players from both sides returned to their dressing rooms.

In the visitors' dressing room, Corinthians coach Andreas Pereira was giving his players the last advice.

For this game, he takes it very seriously.

Because his Corinthians lost to São Paulo in the final of the Rio-São Paulo tournament in the first half of the year.

On the tactical blackboard, he wrote the names of several people.

"These are the guys you have to keep an eye on at all times during the game, a minute...... No, not for a second. ”

Pereira's expression was solemn and serious, not at all like he was joking.

The Corinthians who listened to him had the same expression.

While fans can wait in the stands for the start of the "solemn derby" with the mood of attending a carnival, the players cannot.

In this list, the names of Kaka and Rongguang are placed in a very prominent position, in the center of the blackboard, highlighting their importance.

Meanwhile, in the home team's dressing room, Osvaldo's pre-match and post-match arrangements were nothing special compared to usual.

Everyone also knows that under the double front waist tactic, the main thing is to see the play of the two front waists.

Kaka and Glory are the key figures.

They are all praying for this match, and both are in good form and lucky......

As for the two of them working together...... Everyone has long been out of hope.

The relationship between Rongguang and Kaka, they are teammates who know best. Maybe the people outside will still be lucky, but they have long abandoned all illusions and accepted their fate - these two people are born to be enemies!

But perhaps only one person is exceptional.

This person is ...... Osvaldo de Oliveira, the team's head coach.

Before the game, he was also encouraging Rongguang and Kaka to play a cooperative and tacit understanding in the game.

It seems to completely ignore all the facts about the discord between Kaka and Honor.

Seeing this, Luis Fabiano turned his face and covered his mouth and whispered to Baptista next to him: "Poor manager...... Is he still hoping that those two people can have a tacit understanding? ”

Baptista kept his head down to prevent others from seeing his squirming lips: "Maybe he believes in the phrase 'the one who knows you best is the enemy'?" ”

After the start of the game, Corinthians, who were playing away, did not press heavily against Sao Paulo - it was simply a death-seeking act. They contracted their defense and waited for São Paulo to attack.

Pereira once led the Brazilian national team to win the World Cup in the United States, and the Brazilians themselves considered the ugliest team at that time, so Pereira is very good at using defensive tactics.

In his own half, he does not intend to give Sao Paulo's players the slightest bit of space, especially on the edge of the box.

This is a new arrangement made after combining Glory's long-range capabilities.

Originally, if Glory didn't shoot from distance, Pereira would have asked the players to pay attention to defending his breakthrough. Now it's time for both sides to defend together.

This made Pereira feel a little stretched. Because break-through and long-range shooting are two types of offensive defense, just like the outside and inside in basketball. The offensive style of playing inside and outside is different, and the countermeasures of defense are naturally different.

Watch your players run desperately within 40 meters, defending and containing São Paulo's attack.

Pereira sighed softly in his heart, saying that fortunately Glory only knew some simple ways to attack - fast, just don't give him room to play; It is too simple to change direction and is easy to see through; Long-range shots depend on probability, the probability of scoring goals is too low, no one can make a long-range shot hit 100 percent, even 50 percent is very difficult......

But it's only been a few months, and I've learned so much.

That kid is making progress fast enough, and if he learns more tricks in the future, he will really have a headache......

Andreas Pereira, the former head coach of the Brazilian national team, shook his head.

Godot discovered a phenomenon.

Although Rongguang has not yet shot on goal, let alone scored and other outstanding performances, as soon as Rongguang gets the ball, there will be a cheer from the fans in São Paulo in the stands.

"Come on! Rookie! ”

"Rush it, it's past them, Chinese boy!"

"We're all looking at you!"

Cheers like this are endless.

Godot turned his head to look at the fans who said so, their faces full of excitement and their eyes wide with anticipation.

These people are looking forward to glory!

His eyes suddenly moistened, and he reached out and touched them.

their own vision...... No problem!

Their own dedication is ...... It's worth it!

Myself...... Bet right!

Then he looked at Glory.

Boy, I'm looking forward to you, too!

Let's go to Europe together and surprise the Europeans again!

Until then, come on!
