Glory gave the first-team coaches a glimpse of how fast he could learn, almost as fast as he could run.

Two days later, Glory's shot was rarely high, and he made sure he could keep the ball down.

The practice of shooting at fixed time has also become a shooting practice between the marches.

Rocha passes the ball from behind to the front of Glory, who accelerates up and shoots on the run after receiving the ball.

With two days to go, the goalkeeper was already in training.

The team's substitute goalkeeper Faravia will train with Glory.

In addition to the necessary training with the team, Rongguang has been doing this training all the time.

His progress surprised Rocha, who taught him, and surprised his teammates.

It surprised the first team manager Osvaldo Oliveira.

By the time the last day of training arrived, Glory's shooting practice had already begun to be forced to train!

It stands to reason that the premise of forced training is that the player has mastered the skill, which means that Rong Guang must at least learn to shoot, otherwise it will lose the value of forced training.

If Rong Guang can't even do a basic shot, you will only make him worse and worse if you are forcing him to practice.

Right now, Rong Guang is doing persecution training in a square area of twenty by twenty yards. Four players in the four corners kept passing the ball to Glory and allowing him to shoot.

Glory is in the center of the field, under the command of coach Rocha, the players in the four corners start to pass the ball to him, but whether the ball is passed or the ball in the air is decided by the passer, and even the coach does not interfere. Glory must choose a technique according to different situations to complete the shot.

If you don't know the basics of shooting, you can't practice it at all.

Although Rong Guang is still a little scrambling, it can be seen that the number of mistakes he makes is decreasing, and he has indeed mastered the art of shooting.

This surprised even the four teammates who trained with him.

They remember exactly what the Glory shot looked like at the start of training on the first day of the week.

"Rong's progress is really just like the youth team coach said, it's amazingly fast!" Assistant coach Mauro lamented. "The same speed as he runs!"

Osvaldo Oliveira didn't speak, but watched Glory train intently.

Although it was only one day of forced training, the time was too short, but it was already much beyond Osvaldo's expectations to be able to get to this point.

He originally thought that Rong Guang would be able to master the basic skills of shooting in this week.

Who would have thought that the progress of Glory would be so fast, greatly beyond his expectations.

But it's okay to lead the team to play Guarani away from home, and the certainty is even greater......

The victory over Corinthians halted the continued downward trend of Sao Paulo, who also moved up one place to seventh in the Rio-São Paulo tournament.

The Rio-São Paulo Championship is one of the most important tournaments in Brazil.

Because São Paulo and Rio are the two strongest states in Brazil in domestic football, seven of the thirteen teams at the beginning of the creation of the famous Brazilian giant organization "Thirteen Club" are concentrated in São Paulo and Rio.

As the two most powerful states in Brazil, it is natural to have the idea of competing for the best. Is it the better football in Rio or the better in São Paulo?

This is where the Rio-São Paulo tournament comes in.

It began in 1933 with many interruptions, and for a time it was expanded into a national competition.

Now it has returned to the meaning of the name, which is the match between the states of Rio and São Paulo.

This is one of the most important tournaments in Brazil.

It is also one of the most important competitions for teams in the states of São Paulo and Rio.

Due to the intensity of the tournament this season, and considering that there is still a World Cup to play in the summer, several strong teams in the state of São Paulo have withdrawn from the local league of the state of São Paulo this season to concentrate on playing the Rio-São Paulo tournament. This shows the importance of this competition, and I would rather give up the state leagues than give up this competition......

Since it's a tournament, it's not a league-like format.

The format of the Rio-São Paulo tournament is a single round robin plus a knockout round.

The final standings of the league are determined by a single round-robin, and then the top four qualify for the semi-finals, where they play two legs of home and away. The final two teams will be determined to reach the final and compete for the championship title.

Last season, thanks to Kaka's sudden rise, São Paulo won the Rio-São Paulo tournament. Sao Paulo have struggled as the defending champions this season, mainly because of the excessive injuries and serious disorganization of the players.

This has a lot to do with the format of the tournament in Brazil.

The format in Brazil is different from the European format that we are all familiar with.

Because of historical reasons, in Brazil, it was the local football associations in various places that developed first before the national football associations were born, so until now, the local football associations have greater power, and the national football associations cannot afford to provoke them.

This may be because there are two reasons why football has its origins in Brazil.

In 1894, Charles Miller disembarked at the port of Santos, holding a soccer ball in each hand, and soccer was introduced to São Paulo.

Around the same time, in Rio de Janeiro, another British-Brazilian, Oscar Cox, also brought football to the state of Rio.

So football was first developed in the Brazilian states.

And because Brazil is a vast country with a large number of dense rainforests in the interior, it is impossible for Brazilians to travel long distances to play away games until productivity increases, so national competitions have not developed in Brazil.

For a long time, Brazil was a state that organized its own league. This is how the football leagues in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro were launched.

Until now, in the minds of Brazilian football fans, the leagues of their respective states have been more important than the national leagues. In the eyes of those clubs, the same is true.

Because of the complex and special situation in Brazil, the domestic competition system in Brazil is also very complicated - I am afraid that in the eyes of Chinese fans, it is chaotic.

Actually, it's also very easy to summarize.

Domestic competitions in Brazil are mainly divided into state leagues and national leagues. The first half of the year is the day of the state leagues, the São Paulo state league, the Rio state league, this kind of competition is played between January and May in the first half of the year, and the same Rio-São Paulo tournament is also played in the first half of the year, and the time coincides with the state leagues, which is also from January to May. In addition, there is the national Cup, the Copa do Brasil, which takes place from February to June.

In addition to domestic competitions, Brazilian clubs also compete in South American competitions, with the famous Copa Libertadores being played in the first half of the year.

In the second half of the year, it's time for the Brazilian National League. The World Championship is played from mid-May to early December, and it happens to be seamlessly connected with the state leagues. There is also a South American competition in the second half of the year, formerly the South American Super Cup and Mercosur Cup, which was confirmed to be the Copa Sudamericana this year, from August to December.

This shows how intensive the Brazilian teams, especially the big ones that can participate in the South American tournament, have been in a year of intense competition......

São Paulo, for example, will play in the first half of the year in both their own state league and the Rio-São Paulo tournament, as well as the Copa do Brasil and Copa Libertadores. After playing in the state league, the Brazilian national league will start soon.

Such a dense schedule of events is the norm in Brazilian domestic football, with many players who have not even taken a vacation for several years.

In order to ensure that the players will not be too tired before the World Cup, the giants of São Paulo have withdrawn from this season's São Paulo State League and only participated in the Rio-São Paulo Championship.

After the end of the World Cup, the Brazilian National League will be rekindled, and in order to make up for the postponed matches during the World Cup, there will be many double matches a week, which will require more physical fitness from the players.

In such a fatigue situation, a large number of injuries are inevitable......

Kaka was a key player in São Paulo's Rio-São Paulo tournament last season, and he played 27 matches in the national league in the second half of last year. You must know that he is only nineteen years old, and his body is still developing, so such a high-intensity competition will naturally make him very tired.

Finally accumulated this year, and the injuries broke out.

It's not a particularly serious injury, and I just need to rest for a while.

But after his injury, São Paulo's results are not easy to say.

Everyone knows that Lu Dao Rongguang is a beginner, and he will definitely not be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of replacing Kaka.

What's next for São Paulo?

The pre-match press conference takes place the day before the match.

In his pre-match press conference, Osvaldo Oliveira announced the starting line-up for the match between São Paulo and Guarani.

The name of Thirty-Three Glory appears prominently on this list.

When the reporters (who updated the fastest) got the list, they were a little surprised.

Although Glory performed well in the last match, helping Sao Paulo beat Corinthians.

But everyone still didn't guess that Rongguang would become the starter in this game, and for a rookie, this promotion speed is too fast, right? Faster than he can run!

After a week of hype, everyone knows what kind of player Rong Guang is, that is, a newcomer who has only been in contact with football for less than three months, why will Lu start him?

He played in the last game because there was no one available at the time, so he had to come off the bench.

Even if he performs well, but there is a full week of preparation time for this game, can't he find a replacement for Kaka and Ricardinho?

Reporters originally thought that Glory would continue to be in the 18-man squad for this game, and then Osvaldo Oliveira would decide whether to let Glory come off the bench based on the situation on the field.

This is the best way to do it.

They also intend to see how the Glory come off the bench......

But I didn't expect Osvaldo Oliveira to be bolder than they thought, and directly let this rookie start!

The way he came up with to replace Kaka was to straighten the rookie?

Does he believe in rookies like that?
