Chapter 203 Infighting?
Chapter 203 Infighting?
Because Boca Juniors has a high winning percentage against the Brazilian team in the final, because the Argentine team has a high winning percentage against the Brazilian team in the final, because Boca Juniors coach Bianchi has a high winning percentage against the Brazilian team in the final.
So despite Sao Paulo's good performance, the Brazilian media are also pessimistic about this game.
"Boca Juniors seems to be the biggest 'killer' of Baxi Club!" This is the comment of "Folha Sao Paulo" before the game.
The latest odds of the bookmakers show that they are more optimistic about Boca Juniors winning the trophy for the fifth time, and Bianchi won the quadruple crown.
The Sao Paulo team also knows very well how difficult this game is.
They are more willing to run into the loser of Cali America.
Playing against Boca Juniors, the Brazilian is naturally a little unconfident.
This tension is getting stronger and stronger as the final draws closer.
The players seemed to get nervous during training.
Fabiano and Lugano also clashed in training.
Because when defending Fabiano, Lugano's movements were a bit big.
This made Fabiano, who had missed the final of the national championship due to injury, very nervous. He yelled loudly and made Lugano watch.
As a result, Lugano is also a bad temper.
The two stood up on the training ground.
If the teammates hadn't quickly pulled the two of them away, maybe the small conflict would have turned into a big conflict.
This scene happened to be photographed by the media outside the training ground.
"It's not a good sign that something like this happened before the finals..."
Off the field, the reporters were worried.
In the arena, the atmosphere suddenly became dignified.
Brazilians are a very superstitious nation, and this incident really cast a shadow over everyone's mind.
Even Kaka frowned slightly.
The only exception is rookie Rongguang.
He looked at Fabiano, who was limping to the sidelines to find the team doctor, and Lugano, who was sullen and silent.
I don't understand why it was fine before, but suddenly the atmosphere suddenly took a turn for the worse.
After training, in the locker room, Fabiano and Lugano made peace at the request of captain Cheney.The two embraced each other, patted each other's back and shoulders, and looked just like normal.
However, Rong Guang was keenly aware that the atmosphere in the more meaningful place was not as relaxed as before.
"What's wrong with everyone?" He asked Lucas beside him.
"Final..." In such an atmosphere, Lucas's voice became a little tense.
"But the finals of the Sao Paulo Championship and the finals of the National Championships are not like this..." Rong Guang still couldn't understand.
"How can those finals be compared with the Copa Libertadores?" Lucas smiled wryly. "Can those opponents compare with Boca Juniors?"
He is also someone who participated in these two finals, but even in the final of the Brazilian National Championship, he was not nervous at all.But the Copa Libertadores is different.He's going to start this game and he's got a lot of messed up thoughts in his head right now - will I play too badly and be replaced by the manager early?Will I score goals in the game?Can we beat Boca Juniors to win the championship?
The media played up Boca Juniors' victory against the Brazilian team, which also made him a little unconfident.
These thoughts flooded his mind, making his heart beat faster just by thinking about the Copa Libertadores final.
Rong Guang still couldn't understand Lucas and everyone's thoughts.
Was the Copa Libertadores final a big deal?
Before participating in the Copa Libertadores, he believed that this is the top stage in South America, and it must be full of strong players.
But after playing in the Copa Libertadores final, his opinion changed.
Whether it is Cali America, Uruguayan nationals, Mexican Blue Cross or Medellin independence, in his opinion, it is nothing more than that.
Not as scary as Godot said.
According to his experience - it's ridiculous to say this, Rong Guang, a rookie, has experience, but it's true - he was very disappointed in the Copa Libertadores, so he didn't think the final opponent Boca Juniors was so good...
If other people know about Rong Guang's idea, they will definitely look at him with the eyes of "as expected, he is still a rookie".
If Boca Juniors are not considered very good, there are no "powerful" teams in South American football.
But Rong Guang thinks so.
He immerses himself in training and playing football every day, and doesn't care who his opponents are at all. His understanding of football is still very shallow, not even comparable to an ordinary fan.
He didn't know the status of the teams he defeated in South American football.
※※※
Back at Sun Fengyang's home, Rong Guang also felt the same atmosphere.
On the terrace, Sun Fengyang and Rong Guang talked about the final, and his expression was very solemn.Although Sun Fengyang's expression is usually serious enough, but this time it is extraordinarily serious.
"I heard that there was a player fight in your team during training?" Sun Fengyang was very concerned about this issue.
Rong Guang was surprised: "How do you know?"
"The media has covered it! Good media, with pictures and pictures."
"Then you still ask me?"
"Didn't I want to hear accurate information from the insider closest to the scene of the incident?"
"Hey, it's nothing. They made up after the training." Rong Guang waved his hands nonchalantly.
When Sun Fengyang heard what Rong Guang said, he also nodded.
He really hoped nothing happened.
If there are internal problems in Sao Paulo, the chances of winning the championship will be greatly reduced.
It doesn't matter if Sao Paulo can't win the championship. Anyway, Sun Fengyang is not a fan of Sao Paulo. The key is that Rongguang wants to win the championship.How else would he get to Europe?
Sun Fengyang was a little nervous when he thought that this championship was related to Rongguang's future.
"The final will be in a few days..."
Even speaking is in this hesitant tone.
"Are you ready, Rong Guang?"
"What's unprepared for this?" Rong Guang asked back, spreading his hands.
"Although the opponent is very strong, and it's an away game. But don't be nervous, relax, and maintain a normal mind..."
Rong Guang interrupted Sun Fengyang: "I think you are more nervous than me, Brother Sun."
Sun Fengyang was amused by Rong Guang's words: "I'm a little nervous."
"This is my game, why are you nervous?"
"Watchers will be nervous too! And if you lose the final, Deborah's hard work will be in vain!"
After speaking, he couldn't help but glanced at the window of Deborah's room.
Rong Guang also looked at the past, but he quickly looked away.
"That's impossible." He pursed his lips.
"Are you so sure?"
"Of course!"
"why?"
"The Copa Libertadores is too boring. I'm going to Europe. They all say that Europe is where a player should go!" Rong Guang looked at the sky from a 45-degree angle.
Rong Guang's words were very loud, and the big ones could scare many people to death.
Sun Fengyang was also frightened.
After being stunned for a while, he shook his head: "Only you, a rookie, can say such things..."

Deborah sat at the table, flipping through the album.
She always carried these photo albums with her and never left her when she went to Munich.
For her, these photos are her most precious things now.
Because it is full of her memories. In her memory, she has a beautiful and gentle mother, and a humorous and lovely father.
They are a family of three, very happy.
She was fascinated by looking at the picture of her father.
"Dad, do you know that the day after tomorrow is the final of the Copa Libertadores. The child you are most optimistic about is about to usher in the moment of fate... He arbitrarily advocated running to bet with others, saying that if you don't win the Copa Libertadores, you will stay in Sao Paulo. You worked so hard that you died, isn't it just to let him go to Europe? He made such a bastard promise without authorization..."
In fact, I wanted to talk to my father, but I don't know why, but as I was talking, it became like she was suing her father for his glory...
"...He is really self-willed and stubborn. If he hadn't helped me in my most difficult time, I wouldn't have helped him to go to Europe! Staying with him will always make me feel angry unconsciously. So Dad, if you are alive, remember to intercede with God and bless that little bastard to win the Libertadores Cup! Then he can go to Europe. And I have fulfilled my promise, so I don't have to be tied to him again..."

The conflict in the Sao Paulo team became the focus of the media's rush to report that night.
All major TV stations in Sao Paulo, Brazil broadcast the picture of Lugano and Fabiano with their heads together.
"It looks like Lugano and Fabiano are like two raging bulls..."
The TV station said so.
Some media were worried about the team's prospects in the final when the team exposed such infighting when the final was about to start.
"Lugano and Fabiano are both important players in the team. Now that something happened to them, it is hard for us to believe that Sao Paulo is ready to challenge the powerful Boca Juniors away..."
"Fabiano may have been resentful because the main position was taken away by the young Lucas after returning from injury, but his resentment should not be vented to his teammates..."
"It's really a joke for the Argentines! "Ole" has released the news about the fight between Sao Paulo players for the first time... Now the whole Argentina is probably laughing at us!"
"Originally it was very difficult for the team to beat Boca Juniors in the away game, and now apart from such things... Ah, I know, this must be a good reason for Sao Paulo to lose - when they lost to Boca Juniors again, they can claim that they are not because they are not as good as the Argentines, but because they have internal strife!"
Evening TV shows and radio were filled with such talk.
Newspapers are slower to respond, they won't be able to publish until tomorrow.
Therefore, the timeliness of newspaper news is not as good as that of TV media. Their focus is on various analysis and in-depth excavation of the stories behind the news.
Regarding the conflict between Lugano and Fabiano, these media may have been able to dig into the grievances between Uruguayan and Brazilian football, and it is necessary to involve the Maracana in 1950.
When it comes to the Maracanã in 1950, the emotions of these Brazilians are like a broken faucet, completely out of control.
Such crazy media attention is definitely not a good thing for Sao Paulo.
The most feared thing about pre-match preparations is distraction, and these media hypes are just distracting Sao Paulo.
So the conflict between Lugano and Fabiano must end here.
For this reason, Osvaldo decided to solve this problem face-to-face by holding a regular press conference in the middle of the week.
At the regular press conference in the afternoon, Osvaldo specially brought Lugano and Fabiano to the press conference.He did this to let the media see that the Sao Paulo team has no problems, so don't talk nonsense.
This is also sending a signal.
At the press conference, both Lugano and Fabiano said that this kind of conflict happened from time to time in training, because everyone wanted to win, so they worked so hard in training.
"But it's not a big problem and it doesn't affect my relationship with Luis," Lugano said.
"Diego and I have reconciled a long time ago. The matter is not as serious as you think. If you make such a fuss every time something like this happens, then you will be unable to do anything else all day long." Fabiano said the same.
The reporters looked at each other.
They knew why Osvaldo arranged for Lugano and Fabiano to attend the press conference.
But it's hard to say whether the two have settled down.
Everyone can say what they say on the scene, the ghost knows what they think in their hearts, people's hearts are like a belly.
Besides, even if they really reconciled, wouldn't it have no effect at all deep down in their hearts?
It's just that it didn't show it, and it missed a chance to explode.
Perhaps, in the final, when Sao Paulo is not playing well, the seeds of this contradiction will germinate and bloom...
