Nelsono Baptista is reading a newspaper, the São Paulo edition of The Scoreboard.

"Scoreboard" and "Lance" are newspapers that have influential influence across Brazil, and are not a newspaper that sells them nationwide. They pay great attention to localization strategies.

Report news wherever you take root.

So these big newspapers often have many versions, and in Rio State it is the Rio edition, which mainly focuses on the football news in Rio, because fans in Rio are not very concerned about football news in other parts of the country.

The same goes for St. Paul.

Except for the Brazilian national team games, fans in Dazhou only pay attention to the teams and stars in the state, and players from other places don’t know much about it.

This is why Glory is already a celebrity in Sao Paulo, and is still like an unknown person in Rio, in Rio Grande Sul, in Bahia... and other places.

So when the international match between Sao Paulo and Brazil, Neilmar would not take the glory at all... If he were a São Paulo player, he would probably never make such a mistake...

Rio is better, after all, glory is famous in the Rio-Saint-Paul Championship.

However, because the teams that entered the final four of the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship last season were all Sao Paulo teams, the Rio State media gave up their attention and coverage of the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship early on. Even if someone knows the name Glory, they still have very limited knowledge.

You can't buy the Scoreboard Sao Paulo version in Rio, so it's not easy for this newspaper to appear on Nelson O Baptista's table.

He asked someone to buy it from St. Paul because he heard that Grayson, the famous reporter of the Scoreboard, wrote a particularly detailed article to analyze St. Paul's new tactics. For this newspaper, his people drove a round trip of nearly 900 kilometers, more than ten hours.

This shows how much Nelsono Baptista attaches importance to this article.

As a former head coach of St. Paul, it is natural for him to attach so much importance to this opponent...

When Glory just entered the Sao Paulo youth team, the head coach of the Sao Paulo first team was Nelson O Baptista.

Later, Nelson O'Baptista was dismissed by Sao Paulo's chairman Govia because of his poor performance. Gogh's head coach Valdema de Oliveira replaced him as interim head coach. As a result, he was dismissed after only two games. Osvaldo de Oliveira took over and became the head coach of Sao Paulo.

So Nelsono Baptista still knows this Sao Paulo very well.

If it were St. Paul in the past, I'm afraid he wouldn't have taken it so seriously, because he knew it very well.

But when Osvaldo came, the Sao Paulo went through some changes, which made him feel strange to the team.

In order to prepare for this game, he went to watch the recent games in Sao Paulo, and Osvaldo's double midfielder tactic naturally fell into his eyes.

If I only watched the previous few games, I'm afraid Nelson O Baptista would not be too relieved to Sao Paulo.

Because Glory and Kaka are completely incompatible, Sao Paulo's so-called double front midfielder tactic is more like ten people playing - when Glory participates in the offense, Kaka is like disappearing from the court, and vice versa.

Such teams obviously have no combat effectiveness, and their own performance is also fluctuating, and their results are sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Then he saw Sao Paulo's home game against Corinthian.

Corinthian is naturally familiar with the team as Flamenco's head coach Nelson Baptista.

Flamenco is the team with the most supporters in Brazil, while Corinthian is the second most. When he coached in Sao Paulo, he led the team to play against Corinthian several times. Although they all won, Nelson O was deeply touched by Corinthian's strength.

Unexpectedly, the Sao Paulo Trident suddenly ran normally in that game, defeating Corinthian 3:0. Especially the two front midfielders, they both performed well. Glory scored one goal, Kaka scored one goal and assist, and Fabiano scored one goal and assist.

This game made Nelsono Baptista suddenly realize the danger - if Sao Paulo had such a double midfielder tactic, Flamenco would probably not be able to deal with it.

It was from this game that he began to pay special attention to Sao Paulo's new tactics.

This time, when he heard that the Sao Paulo version of "Scoreboard" was specially used to analyze Sao Paulo's double front midfield tactics, he naturally had to buy it and take a look.

Half an hour later, Nelsono Baptista raised his buried head - he finally finished reading this article word by word.

I have to say that Grayson is worthy of being a famous reporter. This analysis article is written very thoroughly, which has benefited a lot after reading it. He has a deep understanding of St. Paul's double front midfielder tactics, knows their strengths, and most importantly, he also knows a lot about weaknesses.

The relationship between Glory and Kaka is still in disagreement, which is very important information. Therefore, the Trident tactic depends on Fabiano's connection.

To curb Sao Paulo's trident, Fabiano must be curbed.

As long as Fabiano is completely frozen and he does not allow him to control the ball, pass and run comfortably, Sao Paulo's trident is basically equivalent to a waste...

Corinthian's head coach Pereira never expected that Osvaldo would let Fabiano retreat, and did not set up a special defensive tactic for this situation, which led to Fabiano activate Glory and Kaka.

In the end, Corinthian was completely defeated by the three young men...

Of course, Grayson's article is still a St. Paulian tone. The article highly praised St. Paul's tactics, believing that as long as the three people perform normally, Flamenco will never be able to curb glory.

While praising Sao Paulo's tactics, he despised Flamenco very much. He believed that Flamenco's recent unstable performance was impossible to pose any threat to Sao Paulo, even at his own home court.

Nelson O Baptista has coached the team in São Paulo and now he also coaches the team in Rio, so he personally does not have such a strong opposition between the two states. He is not very fed by the argument of "Scoreboard" that "São Paulo will win, Flamenco will lose."

But as an experienced head coach, he realized that this is something he can use. As long as he can use it, the team's combat effectiveness can be greatly improved - who can still try to pull it back without being furious after being underestimated?

In Osvaldo's office, the last coaching meeting before the game is being held. The main content is to discuss the results of the training, who performs well, who is in bad condition, and whose physical condition is not up to standard, so that the head coach can make a decision and choose who to join the 18-man roster.

As today's meeting approached the end, it was natural to go off topic.

"It's really strange that Grayson suddenly wrote an article on the Scoreboard to praise our tactics. What does he mean? Did he bow down and surrender?" Assistant coach Mauro mentioned a recent thing that he cared about very much.

He is not the only one who cares about it. After he said this, it immediately aroused heated discussions among the coaches.

The team's offensive coach Luo Cha: "Yes, yes. I saw it too. When I looked at it, my eyes were almost glaring out..."

The team's goalkeeper coach Roberto Rojas also nodded in agreement: "I also went to read the author of the article and found that it was the guy Grayson. This is really surprising. Has he changed his sex?"

Another coach of the team, Gilberto de Morais: "I don't believe he's changing his character, but he's right. Our new tactics are very powerful. I think he saw our outstanding performance, so he had to bow his head in the face of the situation. It's so satisfying! I hated the articles he wrote that attacked us before, as if all the efforts we put in were in vain!"

Osvaldo's office was filled with a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Everyone was happy to conquer a picky critic like Grayson.

Osvaldo frowned slightly and expressed his concern: "But he analyzed it too thoroughly. Anyone would think his article would understand what we are doing. It doesn't matter if it was an ordinary fan, but what if it was our opponent?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

But Morace waved his hand: "Is Flamenco? There is no Sao Paulo version of "Scoreboard" for sale in Rio..."

"It's just a matter of running here. It's more than 400 kilometers from Rio to Sao Paulo, and it's only five hours a day. If you're interested, it's not a problem at all." Osvaldo said.

Everyone was silent again.

They have to admit that what the head coach said makes sense. If they were to learn about their opponent's information, they might do the same.

"Greyson defeated all our tactical details before Flamenco's head coach Nelson O. He once coached Sao Paulo and knew very well about the players of our team. If we understand our tactics again..."

Osvaldo didn't continue talking.

He didn't need to continue talking, everyone could guess what the result was.

"It seems that this game is not as easy as we thought." Assistant coach Mauro said after he came to his senses.

Before this, everyone was optimistic about playing flamenco away. Because Flamenco's performance this season was unstable and his performance was very bad. As a traditional strong team, they are currently ranked 20th in the national championship.

This is really far from their top eight goals.

The opponent is in a state of unstable state. Even if it is a away game, Sao Paulo's coaches are full of confidence in the team. Because of the team's progress over the past period, they are very clear about the participants.

They have confidence in the team they trained themselves.

So Mauro's words made the atmosphere in the office suddenly become solemn.

It seems that they want to re-estimate their opponents and their confidence in their team is not that strong.

At this moment, offensive coach Rocha suddenly said: "No. I think at least we have one person, and Nelson O's don't know much about it."

When everyone heard him say this, they didn't react at first, and they all laughed after they reacted.

Mauro smiled and said, "Yes, why did we forget him?"

Osvaldo also smiled and nodded: "Sometimes we don't know him very well, let alone relying on game videos to understand his Nelson O... I don't know what kind of meeting gift he will give Nelson O at that time?"

The atmosphere in the locker room suddenly became lively again.

Today is less than two days away from the match against Flamenco, and today will be the last training before the game. After the training, Rongguang will follow the team to Rio, stay in the local hotel, and prepare for the next afternoon's game.

At five o'clock in the morning, Rongguang got up and came to the rooftop to start his training.

After the warm-up, he walked to the rooftop area with the soccer ball in his arms.

The dark pipes stood in the morning mist, and the shadows were not clear.

This was the darkest time before dawn, and even the stars in the sky were dimmed a lot.

Rong Guang held the football and looked forward. The few pipes in front of him were the clearest. Going deeper, it was very blurry, but you could still see a shadow.

It was shaking in the light fog, as if it was really a human being.

Behind those vague figures, he saw the "goal" again.

The pipes are all vague, but the "goal" is very clear.

It's been there for so many days, never moving in a place, and you don't even need to see it knows it's there.

Wait quietly for the glory to arrive in front of it.

Rong Guang took a deep breath of the cold air of St. Paul in the morning, and then gently threw the ball down. Before the ball could land, he removed the ball with his right foot on the instep, and the ball obediently and steadily stopped on the ground.

I'm here, tubes!
