Chapter 149 Full of Confidence
There are still more than ten minutes before the game starts, and the Pakambu Stadium is already full of fans from both sides, of course most of them are Corinthians fans.

Due to the exodus of stars and the longing for European football broadcasts, the attendance rate of Brazil's domestic league is not high, but as the final, the attendance rate reached [-]%, which is still very impressive.

Ninety percent of the fans who came to watch the game were fans of Corinthians.

This is also normal, because this is Corinthians' home stadium, they have the right to decide how many fans to give to the visiting team.

Giving Sao Paulo [-]% of the tickets is considered very polite.

In the first round, the Sao Paulo club gave Corinthians only about [-]% of the total number of fans.

The "Loyalty Eagles" hung their slogans on the North Stand of Pakambu, their base, and the most eye-catching one is naturally their giant flag.

Before the start of the game, the cameras of the live TV broadcast and the cameras of the reporters were all aimed at the stands where the "loyal eagle" was located.

The Corinthians fans stole the show.

Compared with them, Sao Paulo fans are much more low-key.

Before the game started, the "Loyalty Eagles" percussion band began to warm up in the stands. They used drums with different rhythms to create a home atmosphere, which aroused the cheers of other Corinthians fans at the scene.

"'Loyalty Eagle' is much more exciting today than before..." In the media seats, the reporters were also discussing the fans of Corinthians.

"Of course, today is the last game of the final, and Corinthians are home. They must be very excited. And in the final of the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship in the first half of the year, they lost to Sao Paulo in this stadium. The 'Loyal Eagle' must have been holding back their energy and wanting revenge since then..."

"I've heard of this. Before the game, the 'Loyalty Eagles' uttered bold words to help the team win the championship at home. I think Sao Paulo will be greatly disturbed for a while..."

"So the fans of Corinthians are only less than the fans of Flamengo. In Rio, the fans of Flamengo are the craziest. In Sao Paulo, the fans of Corinthians are the craziest." Grayson continued.

Coelho heard what the reporters were saying, but he didn't get involved.It's just that this sentence from Grayson reminded him of a very interesting thing, so he laughed when he heard this sentence.

Other reporters noticed Coelho's weird smile, so some curious people asked him: "Coelho, what are you laughing at?"

Such a sentence focused the attention of all reporters on Coelho's face.Grayson was no exception, because he was the one who said the last sentence.

He took Coelho's smile as a challenge, of course.

Coelho spread his hands: "It's nothing. I just thought of one thing when I heard this friend compare Corinthians fans with Flamengo fans."

He looked at Grayson and said this.

"What's the matter?" Grayson didn't say a word, but there were always those people who gave pillows when they fell asleep, so someone asked immediately.

"I remember someone who silenced the flamenco fans in Maracana. Guess who?" Coelho asked with a smile.

Everyone is not a fool, so they guessed it right away-isn't that an honor?
Although it was only a short second, he did silence the entire Maracana in that second. Tens of thousands of people were silent at the same time, without uttering a single syllable.

Many of the reporters present have experienced that scene. At that time, they were all shocked by Rong Guang's performance, and they didn't say a word.

When Grayson heard what Coelho said, his face became a little ugly.

He didn't say anything, just sat back in his seat.

He was also on the sidelines in that game, and he didn't make a shameful sound at the time-he was completely frightened by Rongguang's goal.

Knowing this matter still makes him feel very ashamed, so he doesn't want to recall that moment.

Who would have thought that Coelho would bring it up again!
He couldn't deny what had happened, so he kept silent.

The other reporters were also lost in thought.

If there are people in Corinthians who are not afraid of this scene at all, then it may only be an honor...

The momentum of the "Loyalty Eagle" is great, but it's hard to say whether it will have an impact on Rongguang.

When he debuted in the first battle, when he was inexperienced and incompetent, he could shut up all the "loyal eagles", let alone now?
Many people suddenly felt a little more anticipation for this game.

※※※

In the locker room of the visiting team, head coach Osvaldo was giving his final instructions to the players, and the game will start in ten minutes.

"We lost the first leg, which is a pity. But football is like that, boys. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, it can bring you joy, money and fame, and it can also bring you pain. Fortunately, the final is two legs, so we have a chance to come back in the second leg. In Brazil, no one wants to be a loser. If the national championship format was the same as in Europe, we would now be champions, but now our champions are in jeopardy. It is a very sad fact. Champions, I promise you, all of us will be the laughing stock of Brazil. When they mention Sao Paulo, they will say: 'Yes, I know, the team that led the No.

Some of the players shook their heads and said, "No, we don't want to!"

"Yes, we don't want to either. So we have been training and training this week and paid an unimaginable price. Especially..." Osvaldo said here and glanced at Rongguang, Kaka and Lucas. "You three."

"I hope you can prove to them in this game that your efforts have not been in vain and are worthwhile."

"Needless to say, coach? We must win the championship!" Rong Guang said loudly.

Lucas followed up: "Yes, I love champions!"

Kaka didn't say anything bold, he just said "hmm" to express his attitude.

Osvaldo was relieved to see that the three young men were all high-spirited.

What he is most afraid of is that young people will be nervous before important games.

Kaka is okay, he has two years of experience in professional competitions, and he has experienced such big-time competitions as the World Cup.

The performance of Rong Guang and Lucas reassured him.

"Very good, remember the training you have received this week. In the game, no matter what the opponent's countermeasure is, you must play according to the requirements in the training."

※※※

Meanwhile, in the home dressing room, Carlos Pereira cheered on his players.

But compared to Osvaldo, his words are much simpler.

"You must firmly believe in the training you have received this week, and firmly believe in the team's tactics. As long as you play normally, the championship must be ours!"

Pereira has extremely high confidence in his tactics and the team.

He knew that Osvaldo must be trying to change this situation, and he was also trying to stop their efforts.

No matter how Osvaldo changes, as long as the bad relationship between Kaka and Rongguang is not resolved, it will be meaningless.Pereira guessed that in order to make up for Lucas' inexperienced weakness, Osvaldo would let Ricardinho take the position of the front midfielder, and then Rong Guang and Kaka moved a little to the two sides. It looks like a three front midfielder, but in fact Rong and Kaka may become two wingers, or even... inside forwards.

So in Pereira's tactics, he made defensive arrangements for both Lucas and Ricardinho.

As long as Ricardinho dares to come up, he will immediately fall into the copper wall and iron wall he made.

Now everything is ready, only the champion is owed.

After nine 10 minutes, the championship trophy of the Brazilian National Championship will belong to Corinthians!
※※※

When the Sao Paulo players came out, they were warmly "welcome" by the Corinthians fans.

The Corinthians fans let out a huge cheer, deafening and almost choking.

But the cheers were not for them, but for Corinthians beside them.

Corinthians supporters use this to put pressure on Sao Paulo - see?This is the home of Corinthians!Here, everyone is your enemy!Don't try to take anything away from here except failure!

"Players from both sides are on the stage! This is another final meeting between the two teams after the final meeting of the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship! But the importance of the national championship is obviously far greater than that of the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship! This can be seen from the number of spectators present..."

The scene was so loud that even Galvao Bueno, the commentator known for his passion, had to raise his voice.

This kind of home atmosphere is not lost to Maracana, which has a flamenco game.

He set his sights on the three young men Rong Guang, Kaka and Lucas.

In the last final, these three were separated by Pereira's tactics, and they were defeated individually, basically without any decent performance.

What about this time?

If these three people can't show any decent performance, I am afraid that Sao Paulo will really say goodbye to the championship.

At that time, the team that performed so well in the regular season did not win the championship in the end... I wonder how the Brazilian Football Association feels?
There are rumors that the Brazilian Football Federation has been considering modifying the competition system to move closer to European leagues.Perhaps the predicament that Sao Paulo is facing today is the main reason for their determination?
For a while, Bueno had already thought about what happened after Sao Paulo really lost the championship, as if he was arranging funeral affairs for Sao Paulo.

If the Sao Paulo players knew what Bueno was thinking, they would definitely say: "In fact, we can still save it..."
