"It's over! Away from Sao Paulo, they halted their good run of three wins in a row as they lost 2-1 at San Caetano. Rookie Young, who had performed well in the previous three fights, did not continue his magical performance, and he was completely dumb in this match......"

“…… Rong fell into the opponent's muscle jungle in the match against San Caetano, and at all times, he had San Caetano players by his side, and he was fouled again and again and fell to the ground...... His pace didn't show up at all, much to the disappointment of fans who were going to see him blast the opposing defenders with his blistering speed......"

When the match was over, the fans of the home team, San Caetano, cheered in the stands and were happy that they were able to beat the mighty Sao Paulo.

The San Caetano players also celebrated after the game.

It's like they've already won the championship.

Sao Paulo's players are much more frustrated by that.

San Caetano is not too strong a team, they were relegated from the Brazilian league last season, and this year they can only play in the second division.

I didn't expect it to be such a team, but they suffered a defeat.

Godot stood in the stands, watching the glory of standing on the court, his hands on his hips, panting.

It's rare to see Glory so tired after a game.

Glory's physical fitness is very good.

It shows how tough it was for him.

He frequently engaged in physical confrontations with his opponents, which made him physically exerting more than ever.

Godot frowned.

The performance of Glory in this game was not very good, which gave him a bad premonition......

"In the latest round of the Rio-São Paulo tournament, Sao Paulo drew 1:1 at home to Botafogo. It's a good thing not to keep losing. The other piece of good news was Kaka's return from injury, coming off the bench in the 61st minute and performing well...... But I think it's definitely not good news for Rong. Because his strongest rival is back, a poor run of two games in a row could cost him the chance to start the next game......"

"Young's performance in two consecutive games was not very good, and in this game he was finally replaced early by Kaka, who returned from injury...... What is it that makes the once magical Chinese kid lose all his magic? In those two fights, we didn't see the speed and agility that Rong was proud of, only that he fell to the ground again and again under the tight guard of his opponents......"

In his post-match press conference at the last Rio-São Paulo tournament, San Caetano's head coach Jair Piccherny said he had studied Young's footage extensively and found a way to deal with him...... I think the biggest significance of that game was probably not just that Sao Paulo ended their three-game winning streak, but that Piccherny opened the minds of other managers – don't be intimidated by Young's speed, he's really just a rookie who has only been involved in football for three months! Botafogo has clearly embraced the experience in this regard......"

"San Caetano, who have only been able to play in the second division this season, have been impressive in the Rio-São Paulo tournament and the Copa Libertadores, and their success has not been a fluke......

Osvaldo Oliveira did not believe that Sao Paulo's two-game winless run was due to Rong's erratic performance. Not being able to win is certainly not a problem of any one player, but the defeat in this game also exposed the problem of Rong, and I think we should all calm down from the previous. Rong is just a newcomer who has only been in contact with football for three months, and he should not have too high expectations for him. ”

When Rong was torn off his mysterious cloak, everyone finally realized that he was actually a rookie with a weak foundation. There are too many ways for professional players to deal with such rookies. The reality is harsh, but that's the truth...... Rong's impressive performance in three matches came to an end as he was thoroughly studied by his opponents, and he was no longer the 'magic Chinese boy', but an ordinary rookie. As long as there are frequent physical confrontations with him, foul tactics to contain him, all kinds of small actions...... His speed is completely unplayable! A person who only came into contact with football at the age of sixteen, even if he is a genius, there is a limit, and the gap between him and his peers of seven or eight years cannot be bridged in a few months! ”

"Perhaps we can already assert that Rong is just one of a large number of meteors that have sprung up on the Brazilian domestic scene over the years. With speed alone, he'll be eliminated in no time! The myth of the magical Chinese kid once made my blood boil, but the reality is not a novel, nor is it an American hero-style comic or movie ......"

"Congratulations, Kaka!" Reinaldo said to Kaka in the locker room.

Kaka felt strange: "Congratulations on what? ”

'We came off the bench in the last game and we didn't win, but I think when you come back to the team, that's when you start winning. Reinaldo said with a smile at Kaka.

Kaka shook his head: "It's useless to say anything if you don't win the game." I'm more concerned about the team's results. ”

I am not glad about it.

Reinaldo was a little self-deprecating, but he immediately put on a smile again: "It's obviously not your problem that you didn't win the previous two games, so you don't have to blame yourself." Somebody is responsible, I think...... Maybe soon we won't be able to see him, right? I hope he doesn't cry! Ha! ”

Kaka didn't say anything, and frowned slightly.

He also remembered that Rongguang didn't show what everyone expected in two consecutive games, so will it be returned to the youth team?

He was originally drawn from the youth team to fight fires, and it is said that he is still on a youth contract, and it seems that such a player will not be able to stay in the first team forever.

If it was before, where the glory went, it didn't matter to him Kaka, although he was only nineteen years old, but this kind of division and combination, coming and going, he had seen a lot, and he had long been used to it. That's the cruelty of professional football, and you can't feel sorry for everyone.

But now, he can't let go.

He suddenly wanted to see how the Chinese kid reacted to such a blow.

It's hard to imagine the kid who dared to challenge me in front of so many people......

At noon, Kaka, who had been going home for dinner, suddenly came to the restaurant of the training base for the first time.

If it were normal times, his arrival would surely flatter the youth players who saw him, and it seemed like it would be a pleasure to be able to eat in one place with his idol Kaka.

But today, there is no such treatment.

When he reached the door of the restaurant, he found it empty.

Didn't anyone come to the meal? Or am I late?

Kaka walked in with such doubts, only to realize that he had made a mistake.

In fact, there are a lot of people gathered in the depths of the restaurant, and they are surrounded by three floors inside and three layers outside - it turns out that people from other locations have used it here!

These include youth players as well as Kaka's team-mates in the first team.

And it's not just them, Kaka also saw the waiter at the restaurant in the crowd......

They all poked their necks out into the crowd, full of anticipation and surprise.

Although Kaka doesn't come to the restaurant often to eat, he also knows that such a scene is very rare......

Something special must have happened.

What's going on?

Before he could figure out what was happening, the crowd erupted in loud shouts, mixed with excited whistles. Some people raised their arms in cheers, some applauded, but many more slapped the table and stomped their feet, holding their heads in their hands, looking up to the sky and sighing, looking very annoyed.

"Ahhh How is this possible?! How can anyone do it! ”

"It can't be! Is he an earthling?! ”

"I am willing to lose the bet, you are all stars with heads and faces, and you are not short of this money...... Come on, come on, give money for money! Another voice sounded in the cacophony, very clearly.

Someone pulled out the bill and slapped it on the table in chagrin, then shook his head and sighed and walked away. When he walked away, he still had a look of disbelief on his face, muttering, "How is it possible...... How could he put four pieces...... It's all stuffed in......"

"It's flattened, but it's too exaggerated...... I can't do it anyway......"

“…… Maybe I should try a four-piece sandwich in one bite? ”

This made Kaka even more inexplicable.

What is this?

As they dispersed, Kaka outside finally saw what had just happened.

Glory was sitting behind the dining table with four sandwiches in his mouth that were exclusively available at the training base!

The sandwich consists of two slices of bread, a slice of tomato, a slice of lettuce, and a piece of boiled chicken. No cheese slices, no cheese, no salad dressings, perfectly healthy low-calorie food, but very unpalatable.

Each sandwich was more than four centimeters thick at its original form, but now they are all flattened and stuffed into Glory's mouth!

Next to him was a half-breed boy who looked like a half-breed who was busy collecting the money on the table and distributing it to the others, but even so, there was still a lot of it in front of him.

While sharing the money, he also said to Rong Guang next to him: "It's been fascinated, this time it's fa, Rong!" We've made a lot of money! The old rules, three or seven points! ”

Glory's mouth was stuffed with sandwiches, and he couldn't speak, just nodded and made a mum sound.

When Kaka saw this scene, he remembered Reinaldo's words.

Cry?

How is that possible?

I know how to do it...... It's too unorthodox for this kind of thing to happen to him!

He lowered his head, walked quickly to the place where the meal was served, picked up the plate and began to pick up the food.

He took some food casually, and then found a very remote corner to sit down and eat, trying not to attract attention and let others know that he was here.

But he regrets it now - what an idiot I was, why did I decide to come here?
