The day after the match, the media in Sao Paulo focused on the match that had just ended.

Although Sao Paulo did not lose this game, it can be regarded as a small upset in the eyes of the media.

Sao Paulo, who finished as many as 12 points ahead of second place in the regular season, should easily win against Santos, who managed to squeeze into the playoffs by luck in the last round.

Unexpectedly, it was a draw.

Had it not been for Osvaldo's decision to adjust his tactics, Sao Paulo would have been beaten by Santos at the Estadio Caldera in Urbano Caldera – a possibility given their front trident, and when they can't put pressure on their attacking side, their backline will continue to be under that pressure.

If it weren't for Glory's timely return to the defense, allowing Santos to score and overtake the score, the situation would have been completely different.

At that time, Santos, who was in the lead, was full of morale, and in the last twenty minutes or so, anything could really happen.

OK......

"Thankfully, Rong prevented this from happening, and I think Reinaldo really has to thank Rong, otherwise he might have become a sinner in St. Paul!"

That's what the Reims newspaper said.

Of course, Santos didn't win this game, and many media still think that the advantage is on Santos' side, so even if this game is not won, there is no need to feel pity, as if he missed a rare opportunity in a century.

Because Fabiano's injury has been disclosed by the media, it is not light!

If you have a sprained knee ligament, you don't need surgery, but you need to take a break for two to three months, and if you have a safety point, you can get longer.

That means Fabiano won't be able to make up for all the playoffs left.

Even if São Paulo can reach the final in one go, he will not be able to do it.

How important Fabiano is to São Paulo has been thoroughly analyzed by the media.

And the effect after his absence due to injury was clearly seen by everyone in the match between São Paulo and Santos.

Without Fabiano's trident can't be called a trident at all, it's just three people fighting their own battles.

If the trident doesn't work properly, São Paulo will be like a tiger without claws, relegated from a roaring beast to a kitten meowing at home.

Such a São Paulo is not a threat to Santos at all.

Santos, in turn, can attack with all his might without worrying about São Paulo's trident.

So in the next game, even if it is away, Santos' win rate has skyrocketed.

Everyone is very optimistic about Santos now.

Santos is getting better and better game by game, and everyone can see that.

Even if they don't win at home to Sao Paulo, so what does it matter? They will beat Sao Paulo, who have lost their minions, away from home.

The day after the game, Osvaldo did not give the team a day off, but went straight to training.

This is not because the team does not have a penalty to win, but because Fabiano is injured and the team needs to re-train their tactics and time is of the essence.

Before that, though, Osvaldo went to the Academy.

By the time first-team training began, he returned to the first-team training ground with a youth player.

When Rongguang saw the lucky winner of the youth team, he jumped up and waved to him happily as soon as possible: "Lucas! You're here too! ”

Lucas saw him from afar and waved at him: "Yes! I'm coming! Were you scared? ”

"That's amazing, Lucas!" Glory gave him a thumbs up.

"Ha Lu Ha! I said I'm very good! ”

The big man next to Lucas laughed.

Seeing these two young people playing treasure here, assistant coach Mauro finally couldn't help coughing hard.

However, many of the first-team players were amused by these two men, and the gloomy atmosphere of not winning the game and the injury of the main striker dissipated a little.

When Lucas came, it reminded them of glory.

This youth team kid and Rongguang's temperament are really similar, no wonder they have been friends for a long time.

"What a dynamic young man......," Rocha, the attacking coach, also lamented.

'I think at this time, we need young people like that, like when Rong came to the first team. Osvaldo, the head coach next to him, said.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and these young people are accustomed to contempt for difficulties, disdain for the "impossible", disrespect for authority, and spit on those who are generally recognized as "common sense".

There is nothing impossible to be young, there is nothing wrong with being young, being young means boundless daydreams and exuberant energy, it means venting, it means change, it means an endless future.

"This is Lucas Sutton, a center forward from the youth team. Start training with the first team today. After a brief introduction to Lucas, Mauro let him go back to the team.

Then start leading the team to warm up.

While running in circles, Glory and Lucas ran side by side.

"The head coach chose you, not Kleber, I think Kleber must be very unhappy, right?" Glory cared about his "old friend" Kleber.

Lucas laughed at the mention of this. "Hah! Isn't it just unpleasant? It's just very unpleasant! You didn't see his face at the time...... It's wonderful! I should have taken a video camera! He thought this opportunity was his, but I robbed him! Hahaha! ”

Glory laughed too.

When he heard that his "old friend" was unhappy, he was happy.

After laughing, Lucas said, "I heard you're having some trouble, Rong. But don't be afraid, now that I'm here, I'll help you out! ”

Lucas spoke big, but Glory didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

"It's good to come, let's win the championship together!"

Because he's the kind of person he is, that's why they're friends......

※※※

The arrival of Lucas did not cause much of a stir in the team, but he didn't want to be glorious - he was already "famous" in the first team before he even arrived in the first team.

Everyone knows that Fabiano is injured and will definitely not be able to make the playoffs, and if Reinal plays the main team, he will always need a substitute.

So Lucas came to be a substitute for Reinaldo.

After training, Reinaldo was called to his office by head coach Osvaldo alone, which seemed to confirm everyone's thoughts.

Moreover, if Reinal is not allowed to play the main force, then who else can play the main force?

Although there is some contradiction between Reinaldo and Glory.

But now that São Paulo's life and death are at stake, Reinaldo always has to think about the big picture, right?

Hopefully, the two of them can work together well and get through this together—that's what many people think.

But there are exceptions.

Lugano looked at Reinaldo's back and snorted, "I don't believe they can cooperate." Renaldo's usual attitude towards Rong is in everyone's eyes, and I think he may be regretting that Luis is injured, not Rong's injury! ”

Lugano is such a person, he recognizes reason and does not recognize relatives. When Rongguang had just come to the first team and performed badly, he didn't have a good impression of Rongguang. But with the performance of Glory, Lugano also maintained Glory a lot. Think about the game against Flamengo, when Glory was tackled by Gershino, who ran to scold Gershino and put him on the head?

It's Lugano.

Now Reinaldo does not pass the ball to Glory on the field, resulting in the team's lack of attack, not only that, but he also made a passing error in the game, almost conceding the team to the goal, as a defender, Lugano is particularly unhappy with this.

So he has a bad impression of Reinaldo right now.

And with his straightforward character, he is not afraid to offend people if he has anything to say.

※※※

Rong Guang and Lucas didn't care about Reinaldo, and after the training he said to Lucas, "Lucas, let's practice together." You can think about how we have to cooperate in the game. ”

Lucas nodded, "That's what I'm going to do." ”

Glory looked very happy to hear Lucas say this.

It feels so good to have peer support!

In this way, the two young men continued to stay on the training ground after the training and began their special training.

The special training project is naturally assuming that they play at the same time, how to cooperate with the attack.

When Lucas gets the ball, how does Glory run, how does Lucas pass.

In turn, it is also a cover-up, when Rongguang gets the ball, how does Lucas run, how does Rongguang pass.

They didn't think about whether the manager would let them play at the same time, whether they would do it for nothing.

Just as when Glory first played in the first team of São Paulo, the two men were deliberating with great interest about how to divide Kleber's five thousand dollars – they didn't even think they would lose.

They always have a strong confidence in themselves and in each other.

Because the two of them are the best people in São Paulo who know each other, especially Lucas to Glory.

※※※

Reinaldo also thought that the head coach was entrusting himself with a heavy responsibility, and in the previous training, he also specially let him run in tactically with Rong Guang and Kaka.

But when he entered the office, he was beaten in the face.

Osvaldo threw a newspaper in front of Reinaldo.

"See for yourself!" His tone was low and stern, giving Reinaldo a bad premonition.

Reinaldo looked down and saw that it was a copy of the Reims newspaper that came out today.

It's not the front page headline, it's the inside page, and it happens to have a photo of him.

It was a piece of news about him, and he quickly skimmed through it.

It's not a good word, the whole thing is accusing him of not working with Glory, and there was even a pass error that caused the team to almost concede a goal.

"Thankfully, Rong prevented this from happening, and I think Reinaldo really has to thank Rong, otherwise he might have become a sinner in St. Paul!"

Later, he saw such a sentence.

That bastard! Sure enough, I got out of the limelight with this!

Reinaldo cursed through gritted teeth.

There is no sense of reflecting on his passing mistakes at all, it seems that passing mistakes are normal and should be, and Rongguang should not rush back to clear the siege.

It was at this time that he heard the deep voice of head coach Osvaldo: "I just want to ask you, Reinaldo, can you still play well?" ”
