Sao Paulo and Santos had a clash in the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship, which was in the last round of the regular season, where Sao Paulo and Santos compete directly for who can qualify for the playoffs.

Originally, Santos had the advantage.

As a result, St. Paul replaced the glory and completed the final victory.

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

This time it was a good opportunity for Santos to take revenge.

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

At the beginning of the National Championships, their performance was fluctuating, with good and bad games, and the team's lineup was never able to be fixed, and the starting lineup changed every game.

This is a completely young team, with ups and downs and unstable states.

But young people have one common characteristic, that is, they grow rapidly and make rapid progress. Because their base is small, the initial progress is always the fastest.

As the tournament progressed, their performance was better.

Finally, they reached the playoffs.

Before the match against Sao Paulo, Santos Club President Marcelo Teixeira expressed confidence: "I am not surprised at their good performance at all, because when they were in the youth team, many European scouts fell in love with them."

In his words, he was quite proud of Santos' youth training.

After this national championship experience, Robinho has also made more people familiar with him and understand him.

The name "Belle II" is getting louder and louder.

The "Santos Gemini" composed by him and Diego has become a highly-watched pair.

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

The only regret is that in the first round of the knockout round, they encountered the powerful St. Paul.

There are also two young people in the St. Paul's formation.

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

After seeing Sao Paulo's performance in the regular season, no one thought Sao Paulo would 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.

As long as young people have time, they will continue to grow and improve.

"Santos' youth guards will definitely become a force that cannot be ignored in the future, but this year... does not belong to them." The preview of the game of "Lance" reads.

I am not optimistic that Santos can eliminate Saint Paul.

Even St. Paul himself thinks so.

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

The Trident is in good shape and has very advanced tactics. What are the possibilities for losing?

Anyone of Kaka, Glory and Luis Fabiano comes out and flashes is enough to solve Santos.

Santos is no longer the strong team that was able to sweep Sao Paulo and Brazil's national football team when Pele played.

They have been in a trough since Bailey left.

I know the appearance of Robinho, Diego, Ellano, Alice and others. But now they are still too young in front of Sao Paulo...

"I can't think of any possibility of losing in this game even if it's away."

Before the competition, what did the commentary article of St. Paul's Page say?

※※※

The fans of Sao Paulo who followed the team to Santos were looking at the game with a very relaxed mood.

Although the score is now tied.

Sao Paulo scored a away goal and had an advantage in the field.

There is no sign that they will lose the game.

Of course, this is the situation in the first fifty minutes of the game.

Now, fifty-one minutes into the game, the expressions of the fans in the stands and in front of the TV have changed.

The relaxed expression had disappeared from their faces.

Instead, frowns were replaced.

Because a St. Paul player was injured.

The injured was Luis Fabiano.

The St. Paul's starting center was lying on the ground, covering his knees in pain.

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

Then he never got up again.

"Fabiano's expression was painful, I think he might not be able to continue the game..." said commentator Yek Kaffre.

"If Fabiano cannot hold on to 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 his words is not bad.

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

When Fabiano fell to the ground due to injury, Osvaldo stood up from the coach's seat, walked quickly to the sidelines, staring at the field with a nervous and solemn expression.

Santos' players have sports ethics. After seeing Fabiano fall to the ground, they kicked the football off the sideline. The game was suspended, and Sao Paulo's team doctor Jose Sanchez ran up as soon as possible.

At the same time, next door, Santos' head coach Emerson Leon turned around. When everyone could not see it, he clenched his fists and waved his hand. The amplitude was not large, but it was very hard. The expression on his face also showed his mood - a gift from heaven

Everyone understands people, so he and Osvaldo know very well what Luis Fabiano's injury means.

Perhaps ordinary fans will at most think that Fabiano is injured. The substitute forward replaced has a gap in strength with Fabiano, which will reduce the quality of Sao Paulo's offensive and make it more difficult for Sao Paulo to score goals.

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

São Paulo was able to sweep the regular season of the Brazilian National Championships all because of the trident in the front court

The goals of these three people account for two-thirds of the team's goals.

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

And the reason why these tridents can perform so well is that they are organically connected.

It was all because of Luis Fabiano who made them connected.

When Rongguang and Kaka were unable to cooperate due to their personal relationship, Fabiano was the bond and lubricant between the two.

The offensive trident that combines three people can truly work as a whole.

Rongguang passes the football to Fabiano, and Fabiano will choose according to different situations. Should he attack or pass the football to his teammates? If he passes it to his teammates, should he pass it back to Rongguang or to Kaka

Fabiano decides all of these.

Fortunately, he is an experienced player who played in the Brazil National Championships at the age of fifteen and played in Europe. When making these choices, he can make the right choices most of the time.

But if someone else was replaced, this would probably not be achieved.

And most importantly, the trident is the only one, and no one else can cooperate except these three people. Because during training, these three people have always practiced together - in order to increase the level of tacit understanding of these three people as soon as possible, only these three people are allowed to practice together. Osvaldo has never considered the trident mode of others.

There is nothing we can do about this, there is too little time, so in order to achieve results as soon as possible, this is the only way to do.

But this way, the risk is great.

What if the player is injured?

What is coming now is finally here...

※※※

People who watch the fun don’t know the things here, but people who watch the tricks know it.

In the media seat, Grayson laughed after seeing Fabiano's injury: "Saint Paul is finished."

No one would think he was exaggerating and sensationalizing.

Because many people have this idea, Grayson just said their idea.

Maybe his tone was not good, but this is to be honest.

Even Coelho frowned.

※※※

Osvaldo had no time to curse on the sidelines, even though he wanted to do so.

But now we should solve the problem quickly.

Although others cannot replace Fabiano, they still have to replace them.

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

Renaldo is the team's substitute forward, so he is naturally the only one who can replace Fabiano at this time.
