Chapter 140: Because We Want to Win the Championship (1000)
In the locker room, Rong Guang finally got out of the hugs and celebrations of his teammates, and everyone returned to their positions.
It was at this moment that Lugano suddenly got up from his seat, walked through the locker room and walked in front of Reinaldo, who was opposite him.
Reinaldo was looking down to straighten his socks – a gesture to hide his embarrassment, and he was envious of his performance as everyone congratulated him on his goal.
He felt embarrassed, it stands to reason that he assisted the ball, and he should go up and hug Glory the most.
But he remained in his seat, indifferent.
To hide his embarrassment, he untied and fastened the laces of both shoes, and pulled his socks above his knees and pulled them down again.
With his head down, he noticed an extra pair of feet in front of him.
He was stunned for a moment, then guessed a little, so he slowly straightened up and looked up.
Standing in front of him was the team's Uruguayan centre-back Lugano.
The young centre-back is notoriously out-of-pocket in the dressing room, and although he is a foreigner, he is not afraid to offend anyone. Of course, he often helps but doesn't help his relatives, so everyone has no personal grudges against him.
Because he is on the side of truth every time.
This is the man who is now the last person Reinaldo wants to bump into.
His premonition of bad luck grew stronger and stronger.
Lugano walked up to Reinaldo, staring at him without saying a word, and the sight caught the attention of the other teammates, who stopped talking and turned their heads to look at the locker room.
Glory also looked over.
"Reinaldo, should you give an explanation for your performance in the first half?"
As soon as Lugano said this, the atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became solemn.
Reinaldo looked at Lugano, and after a moment he grinned, spread his hands and shrugged, "I don't understand what you're talking about, Lugano." ”
"Don't play dumb, do you know what I'm talking about, or do you have to make me so clear?" Lugano snorted.
Captain goalkeeper Cheney smelled gunpowder and stood up to stop Lugano and Reinaldo.
But after a moment's hesitation, he sat down again.
So in the dressing room, Lugano and Reinaldo were still facing off.
"I'm sorry, if you're fine, can you leave me alone?" Reinaldo put on headphones for himself, intending to listen to music.
But as soon as he put it on, Lugano reached out and pulled it off.
"What are you doing!" Reinaldo clutched his torn ears and shouted.
"Three passes! In the first half, you give Rong three passes! What is that you are preaching? "But Lugano is louder than he is." The first time Rong ran to the position, you didn't pass, you waited for Rong to run offside, and you passed! The second time, you deliberately kicked the ball hard and forced him to make a mistake. The third time, you did it again, but alas...... This time Rong performed well, not only controlled the ball, but also scored the goal! ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, Lugano? I was creating chances for Rong, don't you think I assisted him in the first half? How beautiful is that ball? If it weren't for my pass, would Rong have scored? Otherwise, you will ask for glory! With that, Reinaldo turned to look at Glory. You ask, did I give him an assist on that goal? ”
Everyone's eyes turned to glory.
Even Reinaldo was looking at the glory.
Rongguang was stunned for a moment.
He was stunned because Reinaldo was so idiotic that he was sent to the door to make himself spit?
Or did he think he was kind-hearted, and just because of this assist, he forgave him for the words and deeds he had directed at him before, and the two of them turned into jade silk?
So he smiled very innocently and honestly, and he really looked like a simple boy who came out of the mountains without any scheming.
Seeing this smile of his, there was a light in Reinaldo's eyes flickering - it seemed that there was a play!
As long as Glory admits that this is his assist, then Lugano has no reason to stand up for Glory.
This is indeed his own assist, who can deny it?
"It's not."
Rong Guanghan denied it with a smile.
The expression on Reinaldo's face froze.
The other players in the locker room were also stunned for a moment, and then there was a "flutter".
It's Baptista.
Reinaldo was in a hurry, he jumped up from his seat and pointed to glory: "You kid can't be ungrateful!" That's clearly my assist for you! Statistically agree that I have an assist! How can you deny it?! I know that you have an opinion about me, but personal grievances are personal grievances, for the sake of the overall situation of the team......"
Glory interrupted his gushing: "Think about a fart! Don't think I don't know what you're doing! You're like a donkey, pout, and I'll know what shit you're going to shit! The goal is my credit, from stopping the ball to shooting, it's all mine! Have a fart relationship with you?! You don't put gold on your face! ”
"You! Statistically...... "Reinaldo didn't expect Glory to really be able to turn his face and not recognize people, and tear his face faster than he could run...... He was a little short of words for a while.
"Technique statistics are a fart, I said that if it wasn't your assist, it wouldn't be yours!" Rong Guang wiped his face, and then his six relatives did not recognize him, and he began to play Laipi.
Damn it! Such a bad pass, Lao Tzu had the opportunity to receive the ball and go directly into the penalty area, but it was because of your bullshit passing that Lao Tzu spent more time stopping the ball, and finally fell into the encirclement. If I hadn't been in a hurry, there was a good chance that the hat for this ineffective attack would have been put on my head. That's not what you say in the dressing room...... Don't think I don't know what you want to do? I'm low in education, but my IQ is not low!
Reinaldo had never seen such a shameless person, he was so dizzy that he turned his head to find his teammates to come out and administer justice: "You are so shameless!" My performance in the first half, you said it doesn't count. Let's give a critique, didn't I work hard in the first half? I definitely didn't target him specifically! ”
He looked at his teammates pleadingly.
He hoped that someone would stand up in solidarity with him.
But no.
Everyone just looked at him, but no one said a word.
Afterward, he looked at Kaka.
"The Lord does not allow me to lie. I think you know that very well in your own heart, Reinaldo. Kaka hesitated for a moment before speaking.
His words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Lugano's deep voice rang out again.
"Why, don't you want to give us an explanation? If it hadn't been for Rong, we would have lost this game. The team that played so well in the regular season was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs because of your selfishness. You think it's fun, don't you, Reinaldo? ”
Reinaldo looked around the locker room and realized that he had betrayed his family.
"What's wrong with you...... Why do you want to target me like this? ”
He muttered.
"Because we don't want to stop here, I want to win a national victory," Lugano said. ”
"I want to, too." Baptista said as he stood up with his hands around his chest.
"I'm sorry, Reinaldo. I've already won it, but I still want to win a national first prize. Ricardinho also stood up and said.
"This year is our best opportunity and I really don't want to give up this honor." The team's full-back, Gustavo Neri, who gave Santo a penalty in the first half for defending Robinho, also stood up and said. Glory's goal lifted the big stone that had been weighing on his heart, and he was redeemed, and he naturally had to be grateful and support Glory.
Some others didn't speak, but the way they looked at Reinaldo said it all.
It was at this moment that the team's head coach, Osvaldo de Oliveira, pushed the door in, followed by Lucas Sutton.
When Lucas Sutton came in again, he winked his eyes at Glory.
Reinaldo's face was dead when he saw the youth player – he knew exactly what was going to happen to him.
"In the second half, you don't have to play, Reinaldo."
Osvaldo's verdict was simple.
But just such a simple sentence drained all of Reinaldo's strength.
He shook his body, then sat back down on the bench, his head bowed, and said nothing.
Everyone, from the players to the coaches, abandoned him.
But what did he do wrong?
Is it wrong to look at a person who is not happy?
A rookie ...... A rookie of unknown origin has so easily taken all your trust?
But have you all forgotten? He's an inexperienced rookie! He can be the savior in this game, but who knows when he will be the bomb that blows you up?
You trust him so much, compare him to Kaka, give him an important tactical position...... Do you just believe that a rookie who hasn't played for a year can bring you championship honors?!
Reinaldo was so dazed that he forgot that the rookie had already won a championship title for them just four months into football – the last Rio-São Paulo tournament.
※※※
At the start of the second half, everyone was a little surprised to find that Sao Paulo, who had just equalised and were in a good situation, made the first substitution, and they made personnel changes at half-time.
Reinaldo, the original starting centre-forward, sat on the bench and was replaced by a young, unfamiliar face.
"It's ...... This is Lucas Sutton. An eighteen-year-old player who has previously played for São Paulo in all age groups. It was his first senior appearance for Sao Paulo...... He plays as a center forward and has no record of being selected for national teams at all levels. ”
Cafurey is worthy of being a well-documented narrator, and he quickly reported the basic information of this unfamiliar face.
Glory was the only player who kept him from reporting basic information throughout the game, even though he already had Glory at the time. But that information was so appalling that the cautious Cafurey didn't dare to broadcast it. This has also become the only black history in his commentary career......
Compared to glory, Lucas Sutton's career is unusual...... No, or "normal" a lot.
Seeing this substitution, everyone was surprised.
Why do you want to replace Reinaldo? In the first half, he had just assisted Glory to score the equaliser......
The TV camera also understood everyone's doubt, so they gave Reinaldo, who was sitting on the bench, a close-up.
In the close-up, Reinaldo is curled up in his chair and staring blankly at the pitch as if the match had nothing to do with him anymore.
In fact, not only this match, but all the next matches have nothing to do with her......
