Chapter 33 São Paulo Twin Stars? (Ask for push...)

See the fastest updates

The blow to the opponent with Glory's goal was huge, and the morale of the international team plummeted after being broken by such a beautiful goal.

In addition, Nirmal was sleepwalking after the game restarted, and he couldn't find his form at all.

The international team's offense also tended to be paralyzed.

The rest of the game almost turned into garbage time.

Internacional Brasil has not been able to deal a blow to this Sao Paulo goal for a long time.

Sao Paulo's head coach Osvaldo began to redeploy his troops and make substitutions to rest.

Of course, Glory and Kaka have always stayed on the court.

As long as they're on the pitch, the international team won't want to fight back desperately. Although it seems that the international team has no such idea now, it is not afraid of 10,000, just in case......

Before the end of the game, Kaka provided another assist, and this time he finally got his wish to assist Fabiano's goal.

Fabiano's goal was tied at 3:0.

At home, they were going to show their talents, and the international team that took Sao Paulo under the horse was shaved down.

In fact, the game ended after the glorious goal.

Neil Maradona of Rio Grande do Sul also didn't come up with a performance worthy of the moniker.

That's how Sao Paulo took the win away from home.

They also avoided falling into a losing streak.

After the game, Osvaldo took advantage of the power of Glory and Kaka to assist each other's goals, and slapped reporters in the face at the post-match press conference.

"Who said Rong and Kaka can't coexist? Who says it's absolutely impossible for them to pass the ball to each other? ”

Osvaldo's series of rhetorical questions were asked by the reporters in the audience, and they didn't know what to say.

Glory and Kaka did pass the ball to each other...... The first ball of glory is passed to Kaka, and the second ball Kaka returns the glory with a ball. This kind of performance is simply a treatment that only the best friends can enjoy!

Isn't Glory and Kaka as tense as we thought they were?

Or maybe they had a tense relationship at first, but after a few months of contact with each other, they no longer knew each other and became good friends?

However, based on our observations in our usual training in São Paulo, this does not seem to be the case......

Is that a coincidence?

Is it possible for a game to coincide twice?

Osvaldo likes to see reporters frowning and thinking sadly.

He didn't bother to break it, so let this group of people who like to chew their tongues guess!

At the same time, the performance of Glory and Kaka also strengthened Osvaldo's intention to continue his tricks.

In his opinion, letting Rongguang and Kaka live together before the game can indeed enhance their relationship and cultivate tacit understanding.

After the match with the international team, for the first time, the media arranged a combination for Rong Guang and Kaka.

São Paulo Twin Stars! 》

It's a big name.

But Kaka and Glory expressed their disgust almost at the same time......

Kaka saw the newspaper his father was holding, and on the other side of him was the headline "São Paulo Gemini!" 》

He pushed away the plate in front of him and said, "I'm done." And he got up and left.

"Ah, so fast?" When my father looked up, he could only see Kaka's back.

"My son is a little strange today." His wife said to him from the side. "I don't seem to be in a good mood......"

"It's weird. He had a goal and an assist in yesterday's game. What could be there to make him feel bad? "Fathers don't understand.

"I know the way, I know the way!" Their youngest son, Degan, raised his hand. "It's all because of him!"

He pointed to his father's newspaper.

Kaka's father flipped through the newspaper and saw Kaka on the photo, as well as the ...... next to Kaka Glory.

"Yo, Rong, you're finally on par with Kaka!" Godot shook the newspaper. "São Paulo Double Star! It's a majestic combination! ”

Rongguang rolled his eyes: "Who wants to compare with him?" I'm going to surpass him! ”

Godot smiled: "Step by step." Who would have thought seven months ago that you would have a day with Kaka? ”

Glory remembered the first time he had heard Kaka's name seven months earlier.

And he laughed, too.

yes, I've got a lot of people talking about my name!

Lucas Sutton, dressed in sportswear, ran past a newsstand, but soon turned back, bought a newspaper from the kiosk owner, and sat down on the side of the road to read it.

The Twins of São Paulo! 》

The title is eye-catching.

Below the title is a photo of Rong Guang and Kaka being side by side.

Looking at the glory on the photo, Lucas sounded what this kid said to himself the day after joining the team.

"One day I'll definitely let everyone discuss me like Kaka!"

At that time, this sentence made everyone laugh at him, ridicule him, and even didn't believe him.

But it's only been seven months...... This kid is really on an equal footing with Kaka.

And what about those who mocked him in the youth team? Now there is no mention of glory.

With the current performance of Glory, how can it be ignored by them?

Don't mention it, just because it would embarrass them, right?

The rookie idiot who was despised by them is now the main player that the first team relies on.

And what about them, who claim to be better than him? Still in the youth team.

Ha!

Lucas burst out laughing.

He thought again of the old man he had met on Santos Beach.

"You say you want to be stronger? But you don't actually think about it, you just think about it a little...... You become strong when your desire to be strong is comparable to your desire to breathe. ”

Although his teammates say all day long that they want to go to the first team and make a name for themselves like Kaka, Lucas feels that they don't want to do that as much as they want to party, and they just want to succeed just to have more capital to brag about in front of women...... How can such people be worthy of glory?

If glory is surpassed by these people, it is a big joke!

It's ridiculous that I've been holding such a person on my head......

Rongdu has completely gained a foothold in the first team, and he has to work harder! Because...... I don't want to be around that bunch of crap anymore!

Lucas closed the newspaper and slipped it into the trash can next to him.

Then he turned the hood of his sweatshirt over his head, got back on the road, and began to jog.

In the sixth round of the next national championship, Sao Paulo was held to a 1-1 draw at home by Goias, a traditional powerhouse in northeastern Brazil.

The "São Paulo Twins" that everyone was expecting in this game did not perform very well.

Kaka did score in the game, but it wasn't assisted by Glory, who didn't even participate in the goal at all.

Compared with Kaka, who scored the goal, Rongguang's performance in this game was average, and it could even be said that it was not very good. If it weren't for Kaka, his performance would have been reasonable. But compared with the handsome Fukaka around him, the glory has become a complete dick.

After the game, the reporters who were ridiculed by Osvaldo in the last game finally found a chance to take revenge, and they asked Osvaldo why there was a sense of separation in this game since the two of them cooperated tacitly?

Osvaldo's explanation for this is: "Isn't it normal to have such instability during the run-in period? They're still adapting, and I think it's normal for anything to happen. As a result, my grades have fluctuated and I can afford it. ”

In the seventh round, Sao Paulo defeated Gremio 2-0 at home.

But this victory has nothing to do with the "Gemini" or anything.

Kaka has scored in two games in a row, but it wasn't a glorious assist.

Glory's performance in this game is still average.

Kaka's stellar performance made the media feel more and more that the performance of the two men in the international team should be a coincidence......

Compared to Kaka, Rongguang is still a rookie, his performance is inconsistent, and he lacks proof, which makes him more likely to be questioned.

When his performance is inconsistent, people habitually suspect him. Who called him inexperienced?

It makes sense to question a rookie.

Five days later, in the eighth round of the tournament, Sao Paulo lost 1-3 away to Cruzeiro.

Kaka scored the only goal of the whole Sao Paulo team, and the glory still did not shine brightly.

However, Kaka's goal was not able to salvage Sao Paulo's defeat.

The 3-1 defeat was also São Paulo's worst defeat of the season.

In the aftermath of this defeat, stubborn criticism of Osvaldo in the media grew louder.

It is also mixed with criticism of Glory.

However, the criticism of Rongguang is not so simple and crude, after all, Rongguang has already proved his ability with his performance in the Rio-São Paulo tournament.

So there is no article that directly criticizes Glory's poor performance. Considering that he has only been playing football for seven months, it would be a mistake to expect him to perform as well as Kaka.

The root of the problem lies with Osvaldo.

Grayson, the name of "Scoreboard", blasted Osvaldo, believing that his stubbornness would eventually harm himself, São Paulo, and even more glory.

“…… Osvaldo's two-front midfield tactics sounded like a joke, and now it looks like the word 'like' can be removed...... Although Rong and Kaka are both very fast, they have different abilities and different characteristics, so they have to be arranged together, which is such a result. When one person behaves well, the other person behaves dullly. There is no so-called tacit understanding and practice between the two people at all. I've done statistics...... From the start of the game against Juventud, Osvaldo deliberately brought the two together to play the so-called double midfield...... The result? Apart from two assists against each other, there wasn't a single pass between the two! Can this be regarded as Osvaldo's 'tacit understanding'? No kidding! ”

Grayson, who put a special emphasis on analyzing the game footage, came out and slapped him in the face again.

What he said was indeed the truth.

There's no real connection between Glory and Kaka.

Of course, with the relationship between Kaka and Glory, it is too difficult for them to establish contact......

“…… Kaka alone can dominate the game, why do you want to put a glory around you? Rong's technical characteristics and experience determine that he is more suitable as a substitute. In the case of the team not being able to open the situation, it is okay to have Rong come off the bench to increase the team's attacking power and changes in the attack. Sakae has always done a good job. But to start him and give him the same task as Kaka is difficult for him to be a strong man......"

It does sound much more comfortable than Grayson's previous words about glory and not genius. It seems that Glory's performance in the Rio-São Paulo tournament still held him back.

Let him stop talking nonsense.

But in his bones, these words are actually full of contempt for Glory - he doesn't think Glory can be equal to Kaka and have the same role for the team as Kaka.

It's okay to think so, because most people think like this: how can a novice who has only been learning football for seven months be compared to Kaka, who has won both the World Cup?
