Chapter 207 A Different Prematch From Usual
Chapter 207 A Different Prematch From Usual
The tactical meeting was over, and the players of the whole team returned to their rooms one after another.
Before the start of the final, no matter how optimistic the Brazilian was, he was in no mood to have fun.
This is the final of the Copa Libertadores, and the opponent is Boca Juniors, the bitter master of the Brazilian team.
The combination of these two factors made many players feel that the game was a disaster.
It's better to go back to the room early to wash and sleep.
Rong Guang and Kaka also returned to their room.
Since Osvaldo had a whim and fixedly arranged Rongguang and Kaka to live in the same room, every time he participated in a game, whether it was home or away, as long as it involved staying in a hotel, Rongguang always shared a room with Kaka, and there was never an exception.
Osvaldo remembers this very clearly...
However, having been teammates for so long and living together for a week, Rong Guang and Kaka no longer need to deliberately avoid each other.
At least when there is one person in the room, the other person doesn't have to hide anymore.
Now both of them can stay in the room, but they both treat each other as air.
But before this game, something was different.
The Sao Paulo club has reached an agreement with the AC Milan club. After the end of this season, he will transfer to AC Milan.
From then on, he left Brazil and began to travel to Europe.
This and the next game will be his last two in Sao Paulo.
He stayed in Sao Paulo for ten years, from the junior team to the youth team, and then to the first team, and he was promoted step by step.
Now he has to bid farewell to his home team. Although he really hopes to go to AC Milan, this does not mean that he is ruthless to his home team.
He was still a little reluctant.
When the farewell was approaching, Kaka was particularly sentimental.
Even Rong Guang, who usually looks disgusting, looks a little pleasing to the eye now.
No matter how many grievances I have with him, I will never be a teammate in the future.
He no longer has to live with Rong Guang before every game.
If there is any dissatisfaction, it will disappear after this season is over.
The competitive spirit aroused by him will also be temporarily silenced, right?
But in fact... Kaka found that he quite liked the feeling of competition.
That rookie who is always full of fighting spirit, if there is no noise in his ears, I wonder if I will adapt?
Kaka can't even tell what he feels about Rong Guang now.
At first I heard that Rong Guang regarded himself as an opponent, but he didn't take it seriously.
Later, when he found out that Rong Guang could really threaten him, he started to get serious.
Up to now, he found that this is no longer a matter of whether Rongguang can threaten him, it is that Rongguang has already kept pace with himself...
As long as I relax a little bit, I will be caught up by him immediately, and then shake off!
So he had to do his best during this year and a half, not daring to relax for a moment.
Sometimes he also feels tired.
But looking back on the past year and a half, the progress and achievements I have made, all these hard work are worth it.
And all of this is because of that rookie who knows nothing about the sky and the earth.
Kaka didn't know that he went to Europe, would he miss this rookie?
But Kaka felt that even if he went to Europe, he should see him again.Because Brazil... after all, is not the pursuit of a top player.
The rookie should also definitely go to Europe.
Thinking of this, Kaka sighed a little.
Because I am a Brazilian player, I am so easy to be favored by European teams.
Changing to Rongguang, because he is a Chinese, his reputation in European football is far worse than his own.
But if he left, maybe no one can cover up his brilliance anymore, right?
Maybe I only need to wait another year, and I can see him in the European arena...
Kaka thought about it, and blurted out to Rong Guang's back: "Hello."
Rong Guang ignored him.
Kaka was not surprised. He said to himself: "I think it's better to tell you something. After this Copa Libertadores is over, we won't be teammates anymore."
Hearing this, Rong Guang finally reacted, he turned his head and looked at Kaka who was sitting on the bed.
"I'll wait for you in Europe."
Kaka said.
Rong Guang was stunned for a moment, then said: "Crazy..."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and went back to ignore Kaka.
Kaka didn't pay attention to Rongguang anymore, even if he was called crazy by Rongguang, he just smiled slightly.
This is really about to go. If it was before, Rong Guang scolded him like this, even if he didn't scold him back, he would still clenched his fists, feeling uncomfortable.
And now, he just smiled.
Such bickering will never happen again in the future.
※※※
On the second day, the Candy Box Stadium was full of voices.
The stadium, which can accommodate 9000 people, is almost full.
Looking around, it is basically blue and yellow-this is the main color of Boca Juniors.
And the tricolor flag of Sao Paulo is like sporadic waves in the blue-yellow ocean, and you can't see it if you don't pay attention.
The Boca Juniors fans started to make noise before the game started, they kept chanting the names of every Boca Juniors player in the stands, and then started singing again.
It fully demonstrated to the media that the Candy Box Stadium has been an integral part of the Boca Juniors team since ancient times and is sacred and inviolable.
No good for any Brazilian team trying to beat Boca Juniors at the Candy Box!
Sao Paulo's players had seen enough during the warm-up to see how these ardent Boca Juniors fans cheered for their team and caused trouble for the visiting team.
Simply impressive.
Even if they returned to their own locker room, the simple locker room could not effectively block the sound from the outside, so they could still hear the singing of the fanatical Boca Juniors fans clearly.
It is as clear as singing in their ears.
This huge momentum makes every Sao Paulo player a little uneasy-this is actually a small trick of Boca Juniors.But it is not their patented originality, many clubs will do this.
That is to make the visiting team's dressing room look dilapidated and cause them all kinds of troubles in the preparation period of the game.
In England, there is no hot water in the dressing room of the visiting team at the club stadium. It is okay if it is summer, but if you go to this stadium in winter, the players will either not be able to take a shower after the game, or simply take a cold shower.
There are also some stadiums where the visiting team’s locker room does not have air-conditioning, and the ventilation facilities are even turned off when the away team is preparing for the game. As a result, it is hot like a steamer in summer and cold like an ice cave in winter, making it impossible for the opponent to prepare for the game with peace of mind.
The Candy Box Stadium is only tampering with the sound insulation, which is already very gentle.
Even so, facing the nemesis of the Brazilian team, and at the opponent's home court, still makes Sao Paulo's players very nervous.
The locker room did not play hot samba music before the game, which shows how nervous the Sao Paulo players are.
In normal times, no matter the home or away game, there will always be samba music in the locker room.
Under the rhythmic samba music, the Brazilian players in Sao Paulo danced and played various games with football.
This is the standard state of preparation for Sao Paulo players.
And now...
"Are they really warmed up?" Coach Osvaldo asked.
Mauro nodded: "Of course."
"Then why are their bodies still so stiff? I feel like they were frozen in the winter of Buenos Aires." Osvaldo frowned.
"Too nervous..." Mauro felt helpless about this.
Osvaldo was silent.
This problem has appeared since Sao Paulo's opponent was Boca Juniors.And Osvaldo couldn't do anything about it, ashamed to say.
The advantage of Boca Juniors over the Brazilian team is not a matter of one game or two games, but accumulated over ten or twenty years.
In the face of this huge gap, whether it is Sao Paulo or other Brazilian teams, they will feel nervous and restrained when facing Boca Juniors.
Osvaldo set his sights on Kaka.
He found that Kaka's performance was still normal, which made him a little relieved.
Kaka is one of the core of the team's offense, as long as he performs normally, there is still a fight in this game.
Of course, Kaka alone is not enough.
In addition to Kaka, there is another person who is also very important.
Osvaldo turned his attention to Rong Guang, who was a few people away from Kaka.
What surprised him was that Rong Guang, whom he thought would not be nervous, lowered his head and muttered to himself at this moment.
This is a typical sign of nervousness.
Why is that kid so nervous?
Osvaldo felt incredible.
After getting along with Rong Guang for a year and a half, Osvaldo felt that he already understood Rong Guang's personality.
Rong Guang is the kind of player who gets stronger the bigger the scene, and the stronger the enemy gets.
Playing against a team like Boca Juniors and the final of the Copa Libertadores, he shouldn't be nervous.
But now, what is his performance other than being nervous?
Osvaldo forcibly suppressed the idea of asking Rongguang what happened. If a player is nervous, asking him what he is doing will only make him more nervous and overwhelmed.
So it's better to pretend not to know.
But in this way, the only thing I can count on is...
Osvaldo looked around the locker room and came to a conclusion.
...Only Kaka.
He was a little disappointed, but there was no better way.
※※※
Lucas found that Rong Guang around him had been muttering something, but he couldn't hear clearly.
It was already stressful enough, but with such a fly-like buzzing around, it would be even more annoying.
So he touched Rong Guang with his elbow: "Hey, Rong, can you shut up?"
Rong Guang's muttering was interrupted, he shook his head: "My voice is already low enough, Lucas. I can't keep silent."
"What are you doing?" Lucas couldn't help asking.
"Me, after I won the championship, how am I going to say the lines to those Argentine reporters?"
With that said, Rong Guang pulled out a piece of paper from behind and handed it to Lucas.
Lucas took a look and was frightened.
It was written crookedly on the paper: "...I said we want to win the championship, and now we are the champion! How do you feel now?... After winning the championship, the first thing I want to thank is the Argentine media. Thank you for cheering me on before the game..."
Lucas looked away from the paper, raised his head and stared at Rong Guang in a daze.
"That's why you... have booked the championship?" He asked in a very uncertain tone.
Rong Guang's tone was more affirmative than his.
"Of course! Do you think I'm joking? I said I want to win the championship, so I want to win the championship!"
There is a word that Rong Guang did not say:
If I don't win this championship, how can I go to Europe!
