Glory's defensive training is going on step by step.

As Mauro said, the fact that Rongguang has improved quickly in shooting training does not mean that he has improved quickly in defensive training. Because shooting training is a one-man affair, and defensive training is a team affair.

Glory can control his own performance, but he can't control the performance of other players.

Sometimes he runs too fast and his teammates can't keep up with him, so the distance is pulled apart, and there is a huge gap between the two sides, which can be taken advantage of by the other party.

There were times when he thought he should get back quickly, but his team-mates were fighting and retreating, and he was almost crowded with his teammates, and the opponents only needed a through ball to penetrate their defence.

Running-in is the time spent the most in training.

In addition, I also have to show Rongguang the game video and give him a tactical lesson, so that he can understand what zone defense is and what man-to-man defense is. Let him know what to do in different situations.

For example, what should you do if a full-back has already been broken by the opponent?

These are all accumulations of experience.

But now that São Paulo doesn't have time to gain experience for Glory, Cruise can only choose the most primitive and crude way - cramming training - to train Glory.

Teach all his experience and skills to Glory, regardless of whether Glory can digest and understand it or not.

In order to strengthen his training effect, Rongguang and Sun Fengyang also adjusted the training content at night.

No longer physical training, but tactical training.

Although Sun Fengyang is not a professional tactical coach, he is also a senior fan, so he can also do some tactical things at his fingertips.

And he has also worked with professional coaches, and he has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs run.

He watched the game footage with Rongguang, and then drew the tactical moves in defense for Rongguang on paper.

Digest and digest what Cruise gave to Glory to make it easier for Glory to absorb.

A week went by so quickly.

At the end of the pre-match training session, Cruise said to Glory: "It would have been nice if it had taken a little longer, but now you should have learned everything you need to learn." Next, just play normally in the game. Remember, Rong, speed is the opponent's most powerful weapon, and it is yours. If there is a problem in the game that the defensive formation cannot solve...... Let's compare it to speed! ”

Rongguang likes this, it's simple and straightforward, and I don't have to think about my position, my teammates' position.

He nodded vigorously: "Don't worry, coach." I promise to let that kid see me around during the race! ”

Cruise was amused by Glory's confidence and what he said.

"I'll see."

During the tactical meeting on the eve of the game, Osvaldo revealed his starting line-up for tomorrow's game.

Nothing has changed in terms of personnel.

Or the eleven.

But there are some changes in location.

It is mainly concentrated in the position of the two forward midfielders.

Kaka and Glory are in the middle of the game in normal games, although one left and one right, but always in the middle area. So at that time, the formation of São Paulo looked like a 4321 in the shape of a Christmas tree.

But this time, the position of Glory has changed.

Kaka was still in his original position, but Glory was closer to the right.

In front of him, Osvaldo placed a red magnet piece, which was the glorious opponent, the left wing-back of Medellín Independence, the number three, Roberto Carlos.

The two of them were right on top of each other.

Although he practiced defending for a week, it didn't mean that Osvaldo was going to let Glory focus on defense. In his opinion, it was a waste.

A mere pseudo-Roberto Carlos is not enough for Glory to turn into a right-back.

Training to defend is just one part of the tactics.

When the opponent attacks, Glory must be resolutely recovered and turned to defense.

Because he didn't know anything about the defense of the previous team, the defense basically relied on his eyes.

That's why you need special training.

But in fact, Rongguang's main task in this game is still attacking.

There are two ways to contain Roberto Carlos, one is to limit him in defense, and the other is to use offense instead of defense, using powerful offense to suppress Roberto Carlos and leaving him with no time to attack.

The purpose is the same, the difference is the form of expression.

"In this game, our attacking focus was on the right side where Rong was." Osvaldo said, pointing to the area where Glory was.

"But in order to prevent the opponent from using his speed to sneak attack, Gabriel will not come forward to assist, you have to stay in your position to defend." Osvaldo said to Gabrieval.

Gabriel nodded, without any opinion.

"In that case, the burden of using the offense to put pressure on Roberto Carlos will fall on you alone, Rong."

Osvaldo looked at Glory.

"The other teammates went back to help you, but they only came here occasionally, and you were the only one who was always here, and you had to rely on the strength of one person to keep him down."

"No problem, Coach!"

Glory replied with confidence.

At the same time, in the hotel conference room where the Medellín Independiente were staying, the Medellín Independiente was also having a tactical meeting.

And the focus of their discussion was on Roberto Carlos's wing.

"Roberto, you're playing against their number 13 in this game, and that's a very fast player." Independiente Medellín head coach Carrera said.

Roberto Carlos grinned, "I'm most confident than speed, sir!" ”

"Don't be proud of your enemies." Despite saying this, Carrera nodded in agreement.

If both sides are competing for speed, Roberto Carlos will not necessarily lose to the other.

This is something that the entire Medellín Independent player will agree with.

In their usual training, they have become accustomed to Roberto Carlos's speed.

He was the fastest player on the team.

But why is he not as glorious and famous?

They all think it's because the glory is in São Paulo, which is one of Brazil's biggest clubs. Although Independiente Medellín is one of the top teams in Colombia, they are not as famous as São Paulo in the whole of South America.

And Sao Paulo is a Brazilian team, so that alone adds a lot of points.

If Roberto Carlos were in any Brazilian team, they would believe that their team-mates are now stars who can attract the attention of Europe, and they can be compared to the Brazilian Roberto Carlos and become the second.

But it doesn't matter, after this Copa Libertadores match, when we win the championship, Roberto Carlos's name will soon be known to the whole of Europe, and when he introduces himself again, he finally doesn't have to say "I'm Roberto Carlos from Colombia".

※※※

While waiting for the players from both sides to play, the commentators were hurrying to brief the audience about the game.

"Sao Paulo played at home and they played at home first. In terms of schedule, it's not a good arrangement. But I don't think São Paulo cares about that difference. Because of the last two knockout rounds, they have won away from home. On the contrary, their scores at home are not as high as they are on the road......"

"Independiente Medellín has a player named Roberto Carlos. Don't get me wrong when you hear this name, he is not Roberto Carlos, our international who currently plays for Real Madrid. It's just a Colombian player with the same name...... but when Bueno explains that, he still pauses a little every time he says "Roberto Carlos" because he feels very disagreeable.

It's not the first time he's commentating on Independiente Medellín this season, but he still can't get used to it.

'This Roberto Carlos is a left-back, just like our Roberto Carlos. His style of play and characteristics are also similar to that of our Roberto Carlos......"

Bueno's tongues are on the verge of a fight - it's too mouthful!

"Roberto Carlos has a lot of fame in Colombia and his speed is outstanding. In this match, he will be opposite Rong. I think it's going to be a great speed showdown! ”

※※※

At this time, the players of both sides are in the dressing room ready to play.

Goalkeeper Cheney, the captain of the team, patted Rong Guang on the shoulder: "Good job, Rong!" I'll remind you loudly during the game, pay attention to my command. ”

Glory nodded.

This matchup against Roberto Carlos may be the final matchup that will determine the final direction of this match.

This can be realized in the attitude of others.

Glory is quite proud of this - I am the one who can decide the final direction of the game, what about the sissy? He's not!

"The most important thing is to attack." Ricardinho said to Glory. "Use your speed and offense to keep the opponent from looking up, and that's the problem. You don't have to think about any defense at all. ”

Glory also nodded: "I will, Ricardo!" ”

Cheney frowned and corrected Ricardinho's statement: "No, defense is very crucial, in case the opponent launches an attack, it will depend on the results of your training this week." ”

Ricardinho spread his hands: "The best defense is attack, the kind of thing that 'Theo' said, as long as our offense is fierce enough, it will not exist at all." So, offense, offense! ”

"Theo" is Cheney's nickname for the Sao Paulo team, written as "Seal", which means "a clown who only grabs everyone's attention", which is not a positive word if taken literally. But Cheney accepted it unscathed, and later became his fixed nickname, which everyone called him as a sign of intimacy.

"No, you still have to think about defense, defense is very important......"

"Attack, attack......" Ricardinho waved his hand.

Rongguang watched these two people fight instead, and he didn't know what to say, he seemed to have become a supporting role.

Fabiano came up at this time and put his arms around Glory's neck, completely ignoring Cheney and Ricardinho, who were arguing, and said to Glory: "Ignore them, rookie." How can it be so complicated? Either way, just kill that fake Roberto Carlos! ”

※※※

In another dressing room, Bedoya, the heart of the team's midfield, was also cheering on his team-mates.

"This match is a good opportunity for that Chinese matchup, Roberto. Show off your speed and surprise everyone! Let the whole of Europe know you! I'm sure there will be a lot of European scouts in the stands for this match! ”

Roberto Carlos nodded vigorously, his lips pursed tightly, his fists clenched.
