"It's been 10 minutes into the game, and at least so far, I don't see any ability for Saka to replace Kaka as the starter. As a player in a midfield position, you need more than just speed and the ability to break through vertically. Rong's passing and receiving is only qualified, not excellent at all, especially passing. As a forward midfielder, even a forward midfielder like Kaka still needs a little bit of the ability to deliver key balls...... But apparently there is no such ability. ”

Cafurey calmly and objectively analyzed the past ten minutes of the game from the commentary box.

In these 10 minutes of play, there was not much to say about the game itself. Sao Paulo relied on home advantage and strength advantage to have a slight advantage in the game.

However, just because São Paulo has the upper hand as a whole does not mean that Glory is good.

Anyway, in the eyes of the venomous Cafurey, Glory did not show his ability as a starting midfielder for Sao Paulo.

He is not as good as Kaka in ball control, not as good as Kaka in ball sharing, and not as good as Kaka in long-range shooting ability.

If this performance continues throughout the game, Cafurey can already imagine what the reaction of the media will be......

Kaka has just won the World Cup with Brazil, and his popularity in Sao Paulo is quite high.

Originally, Osvaldo's choice was quite controversial, and if Rongguang didn't show any outstanding ability, then it was normal for him to be questioned.

It's just that for such a teenager who is not yet seventeen years old, the overwhelming doubts may not be conducive to his growth.

Anyway, Kafrey couldn't figure out why Osvaldo was doing this.

Even if Kaka's physical fitness is not good, it won't even be able to start, right? If you don't have good fitness, you can replace him at the 70-minute mark and let Glory play. It's also a good fit for Glory to play on as a substitute – his speed is the straw that breaks the camel's back when the opponent's fitness starts to run dry.

Like now, let Glory start, the opponent's physical fitness is not a problem at all, and the reaction speed is not slow, and the power of Glory's sharpest weapon is directly reduced by half.

What's the point of this arrangement?

Cafori is definitely not alone.

Another commentator, Galvão Bueno, also raised his own doubts about this.

In addition, the fans in the stands, especially Kaka's fans, as well as the spectators in front of the televisions, were puzzled by Glory's start.

In fact, Rongguang's performance is not bad, but because he started in place of Kaka, everyone's requirements for him are naturally not low, as long as he doesn't show what they want to see, it's "bad performance".

This is actually very similar to the trend of public opinion when Kaka replaced Romario to join the Brazilian national team.

Kaka is good, but not as good as Romario.

Glory also performed well in the Rio-São Paulo tournament in the first half of the year, but it was still not as good as Kaka.

Whether it is from the statistics or from the perception of the game, everyone thinks that the glory is not as good as Kaka.

In that case, why should you give up Kaka and let Rongguang start?

※※※

As Rongguang was taking the ball, there were a few sporadic boos from the stands.

Mauro glanced back at the stands, then said to Oliveira, "It looks like someone is getting impatient." ”

"It's only been ten minutes, what a bunch of anxious people." Osvaldo remained unmoved, still staring at the pitch.

The problem with Glory is that there isn't enough depth for him to use his speed and vertical breakthroughs.

After two great performances against Santos and Corinthians, Glory has already caught a lot of attention. This time, his opponent had a full three months to study Glory, and how to deal with Glory was of course easy for them to do.

Osvaldo noticed that Botafogo was particularly layered when he contracted his defence.

From the forward line to the back line, and even to the goalkeeper, several lines can be seen clearly.

If Glory wants to continue to single-handedly take on the whole team and penetrate all of Botafogo's lines, it will be more difficult than in the Rio-São Paulo tournament final......

And Botafogo also has the experience of successfully freezing glory - in the regular season of the Rio-São Paulo tournament in the first half of the year, Sao Paulo once met Botafogo at home, and the two sides drew 1:1 in that match. Glory started, but he was largely devoid of anything in that game and completely lost himself. Finally, in the 61st minute, he was replaced by Kaka. That game was also the beginning of Glory's transition from starting to substitution.

Therefore, in the new season's national championships, it is not necessarily a good thing to face such an opponent who is familiar with glory in the first game.

But Osvaldo still stared at the pitch with interest, staring at the glory.

He was different from those who doubted that he had arranged it this way, because those who questioned Rongguang's incompetence had not seen what Rongguang had shown in this month-long training camp.

But he saw it.

Unlike when the Rio-São Paulo tournament ended in May, the glory that reappeared before his eyes was changed again, and every cell of his body seemed to be reborn – a new glory altogether.

This change was of great interest to Osvaldo.

He looked forward to the progress of Glory, as if he were watching a good series.

He accidentally saw the beginning, and it was like watching it all the way to the finale.

※※※

Glory looked like he couldn't do much in the face of Botafogo's defence, and he turned the ball back to Ricardinho.

Seeing this scene, Reinaldo, who was sitting next to Kaka on the bench, couldn't help but snort: "Return pass back pass, what else will he do besides pass back?" I didn't see him pass a ball forward! Not only did it not, but it didn't even split the ball on the two wings...... Front waist? What an incompetent front waist! Did he go up to make up the numbers? ”

When he said it, he actually said it to Kaka on purpose, and he was complaining about Kaka.

But Kaka didn't say anything, but stared at the glory very intently, just like the head coach Osvaldo.

He also wanted to see how the glory of being driven to the shelves would be broken this time.

This is not the Rio-São Paulo tournament in the first half of the year, when you are a complete newcomer and a lot of people don't know you and don't know you. You can use their ignorance of you to work miracles.

But it's not going to be long-term, and when you do it repeatedly, you'll be thoroughly studied by your opponents.

Like the one in the Rio-São Paulo tournament by San Caetano.

However, after being thoroughly studied that time, Kaka really didn't expect that Rongguang would learn to dribble in a very short period of time! It really scared everyone, including him!

So what about this time?

What new gadgets can rookie Rong come up with?

Kaka suddenly had some expectations for this rookie.

※※※

Glory resounded in his mind the advice of head coach Osvaldo: "Don't take the ball and organise attacks, it's not what you're good at." Hand over the football to Ricardinho and you'll find the space yourself. Think with your head and learn to use your speed. Also, let me see what color your next chocolate is, Rong. ”

In the last sentence, Glory has not figured out what it means until now.

Of course he didn't understand, because he hadn't watched "Forrest Gump"......

Osvaldo: This is looking forward to another unexpected surprise from the glory!

Glory is now thinking about how to use his speed to break through the opponent's defense.

The opposition defence is well layered, he tried once, using his speed to get past the first player, but he was quickly forced up by the second defender to mess up the rhythm, and then the third defender rushed up and completely destroyed his ball.

It's really hard to break through this defense on your own.

How?

Football soon reached the feet of glory again.

Rongguang is not reconciled, he still plans to try the breakthrough of the next dragon.

He rushed forward with the ball.

Soon, the first Botafogo defender pressed up, and Glory used his straight line acceleration to temporarily shake off the opponent, but the second Botafogo player pressed again.

And the distance between the two people is very close, so Rong Guang does not have much time to prepare, forcing him to control the ball space and time are becoming more and more tight.

Football is ultimately a sport of competition for time and space.

When Rongguang was suppressed by his opponent in space and time, he naturally couldn't play too well.

So Glory lost the ball again.

※※※

"This idiot! It's brutal again! Reinaldo slapped his thigh on the bench, and he didn't know if he was scolding Glory or worrying about Glory......

"There's no future for brute force! Who does he think he is? Ronaldo? Ronaldinho? Bueno, the narrator, was merciless in his criticism of Glory's stupidity.

"A player who only puts his head down and rushes forward with the ball, no matter how fast he is, will never become a top player. Now it seems that Rong's physical fitness and talent are indeed outstanding...... But I think there is one thing that he lacks the most, and the lack of such a thing may affect the height of Rong in football in the future. That's ...... Ball Quotient! Cafurey even directly pointed out the weakness of Glory.

When the TV audience heard Cafori say this, they suddenly realized, praising Cafori as a well-known professional football commentator in Brazil, and the evaluation of "lack of ball quotient" is really to the point!

Although Rong Rong performed well in the Rio-Sao Paulo tournament, it was more due to his physical fitness.

He's definitely fast, and that's what makes him a winner.

The fast player has a lot of advantage when he first debuts, because people don't know enough about him.

But as everyone gets to know him better, if his ball quotient doesn't grow, he's in big trouble......

Players who don't have a ball quotient, or a player with a low ball quotient, lack insight into the football game, don't know how to maximize their talent, can't fit into the game, can't work with the team, and are obviously very talented, but they can't always become a player of the level that matches their talent - to put it bluntly, they don't need to play football without brains.

Such players are not uncommon in world football.

Maybe that's the glory?

※※※

Glory's ball was broken, but he wasn't as annoyed as he had been the previous times, because this time when he was cut off by an opposing player, he suddenly noticed a problem.

That's the player left with an empty space behind him.

In order to get up and grab his ball, his position on the pitch changed.

The change is not much, maybe just a meter or two.

But for a place at the edge of the forbidden area, one or two meters is a big loophole!

Why can't you take advantage of this vulnerability?

The opponent used two people to defend themselves, doesn't that mean that in other places, their defensive strength has been weakened?

At this time, I will pass the football to my teammates, and the teammates who receive the ball will not be marked?

This will make sure that the opposing defenders will rush to defend the receivers.

When you don't have the ball, the defensive pressure will be much lighter, and then you can run and run into the space left by the defenders who are swarming to defend and pick up your teammates, and receive a pass from your teammates, won't you break the game?

The more Rong Guang thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible.

To come up with such a perfect plan in such a short period of time, it seems that I am truly a genius!

Rong Guang is full of confidence and is ready to implement his sudden plan.

He raised his arm and motioned for his teammates to pass the football to him again.
