Chapter 134 Accident
Sao Paulo and Santos had a confrontation in the Rio Sao Paulo Championship, and that was in the last round of the regular season. Sao Paulo and Santos directly competed for who could qualify for the playoffs.

Originally Santos had the upper hand.

As a result, Sao Paulo changed into glory and completed the lore.

In the end, Sao Paulo advanced to the semi-finals and qualified for the playoffs, while Santos missed the playoffs.

This time is a good opportunity for Santos to take revenge.

Santos' performance this season is typical of getting better and better.

At the beginning of the national championship, their performance fluctuated, one game was good and another game was bad, and the team's lineup has never been fixed, and the starting lineup changes every game.

This is a completely young team with ups and downs, and it is normal to be unstable.

But young people have one thing in common, that is, they grow up rapidly and make rapid progress.Because of their small base, early progress is always the fastest.

As the tournament progressed, they got better from game to game.

Finally made it all the way to the playoffs.

Before the game against Sao Paulo, Marcelo Teixeira, the chairman of the Santos club, expressed his confidence: "I am not surprised at their good performance, because when they were in the youth team, many European scouts have spotted them."

In words, he is quite proud of Santos' youth training strength.

And Robinho's experience in this national championship has also made more people familiar with him and understand him.

The name of "Pelé II" became louder and louder.

The "Santos Gemini" formed by him and Diego has become a pair that has attracted much attention.

Many people believe that given enough time, they will become world-class superstars.

The only regret is that in the first round of the knockout round, they met the mighty Sao Paulo.

Sao Paulo also has two youngsters.

But at present, Sao Paulo's "Gemini" is more mature and stable than Santos' "Gemini".

After seeing Sao Paulo's performance in the regular season, no one thinks that Sao Paulo will be eliminated by Santos.

Although Santos has strength, it also takes time.

Give them some time and they will definitely grow into a strong team.

Young people will continue to grow and improve as long as they have time.

"Santos' Young Guards will definitely become a force to be reckoned with in Brazil in the future, but this year... it doesn't belong to them." The preview of the game in "Reims" wrote.

Not optimistic that Santos can eliminate Sao Paulo.

Even Sao Paulo himself thinks so.

They don't believe they will be eliminated by Santos.

Trident is currently in good shape and its tactics are very advanced. What is the possibility of losing?

Any one of Kaka, Rongguang and Luis Fabiano who comes out to shine is enough to solve Santos.

Today's Santos is no longer the strong team that Pele could sweep Sao Paulo and Brazil's national football when he was playing.

They've been in a slump since Pele left.

Know the appearance of Robinho, Diego, Elano, Alex and others.It's just that they are still too tender in front of St. Paul...

"This game, even if it's an away game, I don't think there is any possibility of Sao Paulo losing."

Before the game, what the opinion article in the "St. Paul Folha" said.

※※※

The Sao Paulo fans who followed the team to Santos originally looked at this game with a very relaxed mood.

Even though the score is now 1:1.

Sao Paulo has an away goal and has the upper hand on the field.

There is no indication that they will lose the game.

Of course, this is the situation in the first five and 10 minutes of the game.

Now, 51 minutes into the game, the expressions of the Sao Paulo fans in the stands and in front of the TVs have changed.

The relaxed expression had disappeared from their faces.

Instead a frown.

Because a Sao Paulo player was injured.

Injured is Luis Fabiano.

The Sao Paulo starting center lay on the ground, clutching his knees in pain.

Just a few seconds ago, he fell to the ground during a fight with his opponent, and his right knee hit the ground firmly.

Then never got up again.

"Fabiano's expression is painful, I think he may not be able to continue the game..." said the commentator Yeke Cafuri.

"If Fabiano cannot persist in the game, for Sao Paulo, this is not a simple player injury, it is fatal!" Bueno's tone was even more exaggerated, as if Sao Paulo would completely collapse because of Fabiano's injury.

But in fact, the core meaning of what he said is not bad.

This can be seen from the expression on the face of Sao Paulo coach Osvaldo.

When Fabiano was injured and fell to the ground, Osvaldo stood up from the coach's bench, walked quickly to the sidelines, and stared nervously at the field.

The Santos players still had sportsmanship. After seeing Fabiano fell to the ground, they kicked the football out of the sideline. The game was suspended, and Sao Paulo's team doctor Jose Sanchez ran up immediately.

At the same time, next door, Santos coach Emerson Leon turned around. When everyone couldn't see, he clenched his fist and waved his hand, not much, but very hard. The expression on his face also showed his mood-a gift from heaven!
Everyone is a person who understands, so he and Osvaldo are very clear about what Luis Fabiano's injury means.

Maybe those ordinary fans would think that Fabiano was injured at most, and the substitute striker who replaced him would have a different strength from Fabiano, which would reduce the quality of Sao Paulo's offense and make it more difficult for Sao Paulo to score goals.

But in fact, compared with the real impact, this result is simply negligible.

Sao Paulo was able to sweep the regular season of the Brazilian National Championship, all because of the credit of the front trident.

These three goals accounted for two-thirds of the team's goals.

Such a simple data can illustrate the power of this offensive combination.

And the reason why this trident can perform so well is because they are organically connected.

It was all because of Luis Fabiano that connected them.

When Rong Guang and Kaka were unable to cooperate due to their personal relationship, Fabiano was the bond and lubricant for the two of them.

An offensive trident that combines three can really function as a unit.

Rongguang passes the football to Fabiano, and Fabiano will make a choice according to different situations. Should he attack by himself or pass the football to his teammates? If he passes it to his teammates, should he pass it back to Rongguang or to Kaka?
These are all decisions made by Fabiano.

Fortunately, he is an experienced player who played in the Brazilian National Championship at the age of 15 and played in Europe. When making these choices, most of the time, he can make the right choice.

But if it is replaced by other people, I am afraid that this effect will not be achieved.

And the most important thing is that the Trident is the only one, except for these three people, no one else can cooperate.Because during the usual training, these three people have always practiced together - in order to let these three people increase their tacit understanding as soon as possible, so only these three people are allowed to practice together. Osvaldo has never considered the trident mode of others.

There is no way to do this. There is too little time. In order to achieve results as soon as possible, this is the only way to do it.

Only in this way, the risk is great.

What if a player is injured?
Now it's finally here...

※※※

Those who watch the excitement don't know what's going on here, but those who watch the doorway know it all.

In the media gallery, Grayson laughed after seeing Fabiano's injury: "São Paulo is finished."

No one will think that he is exaggerating and grandstanding.

Because many people have this idea, but Grayson said their thoughts.

Maybe his tone was bad, but it was telling the truth.

Even Coelho frowned.

※※※

Osvaldo doesn't have time for cursing on the sidelines, even though he'd love to.

But it's time to fix the problem now.

Although other people can't replace Fabiano, they have to be replaced.

So he said to the assistant coach Mauro next to him: "Let Reynaldo come back."

Reynaldo is the team's backup striker, and naturally only he can replace Fabiano at this time.

Perhaps Reynaldo is the happiest person in the Sao Paulo team now. Of course, he didn't show his happy expression-he's not that stupid.

When he was called back to the coach's bench by Mauro, he looked at the court full of longing.

The main striker was injured and the team was in trouble. At this time, he came off the bench, and then with his outstanding performance, scored goals to help the team win-what a standard hero appearance!
I will truly become famous with one goal in this game, so as to replace Fabiano, become the team's main center forward, and reach the pinnacle of my life!

He was so excited that he didn't listen to what coach Osvaldo was really saying.

Then, he was pushed onto the field.

※※※

"São Paulo made a substitution, and Reynaldo replaced Fabiano." For Reynaldo's appearance, it was not like he imagined, it was a feeling that came out after a long time. When the commentator mentioned his name, it seemed very flat.After saying this, he shifted the topic to the impact on Sao Paulo after Fabiano got injured.

"... Sao Paulo is in trouble, Santos' chance is here!"

Ricardinho saw Reynaldo coming up and shouted at him: "Cooperate! Link!"

Reynaldo waved his hand, indicating that he knew.

"I have a bad feeling..." Gordo murmured from the stands.

He is very clear about the relationship between Rongguang and Reynaldo. The substitute striker has a lot of hostility towards Rongguang, even the blind can see it.Kaka and Rongguang are not against each other, but they are still within the scope of competition. They can promote each other, and Renaldo completely hates Rongguang...

Now that he is on the stage, plus Kaka, can he still cooperate well with Rongguang?
Rong Guang also noticed Reynaldo's appearance.

He pouted.

This is not good news...
