In the ninth round of the tournament, São Paulo away to San Caetano was just three days away from the eighth round.

So Glory only practiced long-range shooting for one day before catching ducks on the shelves.

This time, he started again.

When Grayson, who was in the media box, saw that Glory had reappeared in the starting lineup, he spread his hands and shook his head: "Osvaldo is really stubborn and outrageous!" ”

In his opinion, Osvaldo was clearly doing the right thing with the media – when the media said it was wrong, he was going to do it.

I don't know what to do!

Grayson snorted inwardly.

If you continue to go your own way like this, you will lose your job sooner or later!

He won the Rio-São Paulo tournament in São Paulo and cemented Osvaldo's position. But if Osvaldo continued to die like this, sooner or later he would be dismissed.

Brazilian football clubs don't have much patience.

This is evident in São Paulo and Osvaldo themselves.

São Paulo After the most glorious period since the nineties, the Brazilian football maestro Santana left his post.

In the six years between 1996 and 2002, there were a total of 15 coaches, 14 of whom took office, including Morsi Ramalho as São Paulo's head coach twice.

With such an intensive change of managers, some managers were even replaced after only one game with the team.

Osvaldo de Oliveira made his debut in Corinthians in 1999 and coached Corinthians, winning the São Paulo State First Division in his first season.

In the same year, he also won the 1999 Brazilian National First Division.

The following year, in 2000, in the first session of the World Club Cup organized by FIFA, he led Corinthians to the championship and became the World Champion.

Such an outstanding result was forced to leave Corinthians because he offended the "Loyal Eagles", the most influential Corinthians fan organization. In 2000, he joined another giant, Vasco da Gama in Rio, and won the Mercosur Cup in his first year in charge of the team (in 1998, a major continental football tournament in the second half of South America funded by a consortium, held once a year, the Southern Cup is composed of 20 traditional giants from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay, also known as the Mercosur Cup). Each country allocates a certain number of recommended places according to its strength, and the Southern Cup is divided into five groups plus a knockout system. A short-lived tournament that was discontinued in 2001 due to the withdrawal of Brazilian clubs, and was replaced by the Copa Sudamericana in 2002.

Also in the second half of the year, he led Vasco da Gama to the semi-finals of the Brazilian National Championships.

However, after falling out with Eulic Miranda, the owner of Vasco da Gama, he moved to another Central European giant, Fluminense, to help Fluminense reach the semi-finals of the Brazilian National Primera in 2001 - the reason why he shot Eulic Miranda is incredible, after Vasco da Gama drew 2-2 at home to Cruzeiro in the first leg of the semi-finals of the Brazilian National Championship that year. Osvaldo was a gentleman and hugged Scolari, then Cruzeiro manager. As a result, this move angered Miranda, because before the start of the season, Miranda had planned to invite Scolari to coach Vasco da Gama, but Scolari ruthlessly refused. Scolari's refusal made Miranda angry, and now seeing Osvaldo offering kindness to Scolari, he decided that Osvaldo was trying to embarrass him. So after this game, he was fired by Vasco da Gama. As for the national victory won by Vasco da Gama, it has nothing to do with him......

In less than three and a half years, four teams have been changed, which is quite frequent.

This may have something to do with the national identity of Brazilians.

This is a hedonistic people who are optimistic by nature, so they don't have any long-term plans. For them, having fun in time is king.

This is reflected in football as well. From the National Football Association to ordinary teams, there is a lack of long-term planning. If the Brazilian Football Federation had a long-term plan, domestic football in Brazil would not have developed so badly...... And their head coach signing is basically signed year by year, this season to hire a coach, if you can win the championship, you will be happy, if you can't get the coach, you will get out, who wants to think about what will happen after two seasons?

Even a big club like São Paulo has only two years as president!

What is enough to do in football in two years?

Even they themselves felt that two years was too short, and the president of the São Paulo club thought that it would be nice to have a three-year term...... I can't complain anymore, is three years a long time?

For Brazilians, three years is quite a long time.

※※※

No one is optimistic about Glory's performance in this game.

Because he's not had any decent performances in three games in a row.

This game may be the same as the first three games, and he went up to set off how wise and powerful Kaka was.

São Paulo's performance doesn't seem to be something to look forward to.

In the first half, Sao Paulo fell behind 0-1 to San Caetano.

In the first half of the Rio-São Paulo tournament, São Paulo lost to San Caetano.

This team can be described as an emerging force in Brazilian football in recent years.

They rose to prominence in the extraordinarily chaotic Havelange Cup in 2000. The São Paulo team, which only started in 1989, are very young, but they reached the final of the national championship ten years later, and they were the biggest dark horse of the 2000 national championship.

In the 2001 National Championships, they reached the final again, but this time they lost to Atlético Paranaense.

Although they have never been able to win enough championships, they have reached the finals twice in a row, and their strength should not be underestimated.

On their home turf, it was no surprise that they were ahead of Sao Paulo in the first half.

In the first half, Glory didn't play too prominently, and naturally there was no goal.

At halftime, he thought of what the little fairy had told him.

Long shot!

In the first half, Glory didn't have a long-range shot because he didn't think he was up to it.

But looking at it like this, if you don't practice, you have to take it out and try it......

He lowered his head and began to imagine how he would shoot from distance in the second half.

Do I shake off a person and then get up on my feet?

I'm good with my right foot, so I have to keep my opponent to my left......

What if an opponent comes up to interfere with me?

Fabiano, seeing Rongguang's head down, thought he was depressed about his performance in the first half. So she patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

Signaling him not to put too much pressure on himself, and going from being a layman to a first-team mainstay in seven months is already remarkable.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the locker room, Kaka also bowed his head.

It wasn't just the glory that didn't stand out in the first half, Kaka was also heavily guarded by the opposition - he had been in four games in a row, and if he didn't know how to defend him, the San Caetano players would have died.

Under the opponent's defense, Kaka didn't have much room to play today.

Kaka is very unwilling, he still wants to throw off the glory in one go.

Now it seems that the existing gap is maintained......

Kaka always felt that it was not safe, even if he scored in four consecutive games, and Glory fell into a goal drought in three consecutive games, he also felt that it was not safe.

It seems that it is not an ordinary rookie who is chasing him behind him, but a fierce lion.

"The second half started...... Osvaldo didn't make any changes to the lineup. He looks like he's confident in his starting line-up......," Cafuri said, looking at the Sao Paulo players on the pitch.

He saw glory in it.

The rookie wasn't substituted at halftime.

Osvaldo is ...... Stubborn.

These are the words that Cavery did not utter.

From the second half of the game, Rongguang's mind was full of "long-range shots".

He watched the opposing defenders during the game and found that when he got the ball, as long as he didn't make a vertical breakthrough, the defenders of San Caetano didn't pay much attention to themselves.

More of their attention is on Kaka.

It's your chance, if you don't break through with the ball, but shoot straight away...... Out of the blue!

Thinking of this, Rongguang raised his hand to ask for the ball.

If they could, the players in São Paulo would prefer to pass the football to Kaka and Fabiano, because these two people in the trident are more trustworthy, and the glory is a nerve knife. But more often than not, it's all about doing nothing. He makes it impossible for his opponents to guess and for his teammates.

When football reaches the feet of glory, it means that the risk is multiplied.

But now it seems that there is no good way to do anything other than to glorify football.

Fabiano was at the front, surrounded by San Caetano's defenders.

Kaka is even more surrounded by the layers of San Caetano.

Only the defense around Glory is a little looser.

So Ricardinho passed the football to glory.

Glory was orienting himself before receiving the ball, and when the ball rolled over, he was facing the goal of San Caetano.

Visually it is now about thirty meters away from the goal.

Glory didn't hesitate and shot straight away!

Boom!

Unsurprisingly, the ball hit the stands at the back of the pitch.

"This idiot!" Reinaldo couldn't help but curse from the bench.

"Rong unexpectedly chose a long shot! Of course, the quality of this long-range shot can also be imagined...... This attack of São Paulo was thus ended by the glorious anti-aircraft guns...... "Cafurey is quite polite."

"The rookie is here again. Although Rong occasionally has amazing works, it is more of Hu Lai's works...... No one knows what is going on in the mind of this rookie. A chance for São Paulo to attack, just let him squander it, it was pointless......" Bueno said even more viciously. "Maybe it's self-defeating, right? Seeing that he didn't have any performance in three games, he became impatient...... But impatience won't solve anything.

Sun Fengyang, who was in front of the TV, straightened up after seeing this long-range shot, staring more and more intently at the glory on the screen.
