Glory's goals and pressing have set the tone for this game.

No matter how the next game develops, it will change no matter how it changes.

The center back Osorio, who lost the ball in the second half, was replaced.

However, this did not reverse the Blue Cross's game situation.

Sao Paulo, who was leading with one goal, played steadily, and most of the players hurried in the backcourt to defend, so they only let the Trident press in front without any effort.

If Blue Cross is forced to play a long pass, it will be exactly what St. Paul wants. Because Blue Cross obviously has not deliberately practiced this tactic, their success rate of long pass is very low.

There is not even a reliable long passer in their formation.

In the 65th minute, Lucas Sutton, who was exhausted due to continuous running and pressing, was replaced by Fabiano.

After Fabiano came on the court, he also joined the ranks of pressing. He had just started playing and was full of energy and could continue to put pressure on the Blue Cross's defense line.

This tactic was completely inspired by Osvaldo's performance of glory.

He found that the act of glory helped St. Paul gain the upper hand on the scene, so he had to continue and change from individual behavior to collective behavior through tactical adjustments.

Fabiano came on stage with this mission.

It is precisely because of the harassment of the frontcourt Trident that Blue Cross has never been able to score.

In the 86th minute, Kaka scored a goal due to a mistake by goalkeeper Conejo Perez.

In this way, Sao Paulo defeated the Blue Cross in the away game.

Hopes to advance to the semifinals have increased significantly.

After the game, a bookmaker adjusted his odds forecast for the South American Liberators Cup.

Sao Paulo becomes the No. 1 favorite to win the 203 South American Liberators Cup

This fully demonstrates how optimistic everyone is about St. Paul.

Kaka is in excellent condition, with a sudden rise in glory, Lucas Sutton also performed stably, and Fabiano's strong recovery.

It's hard not to be optimistic about this team.

St. Paul fans are immersed in their expectation for the next game every day.

Leco lives a very tangled life every day.

Although Sao Paulo explicitly informed those European teams that they would not accept any offer to glory until the end of the Copa Libertadores.

But various quotes are still coming.

This even includes Premier League giant Manchester United

These quotes make Leco want to hit the wall every day.

How much he thinks that the team will not win the Liberators Cup in the end... In this way, Rong Guang will have to stay in the team, and Rong himself has a season to clean up him and force him to change his contract. I believe that Chairman Gao Wei'a will not be able to say anything else.

But according to the current situation, Sao Paulo is the biggest favorite team to win the championship...

If St. Paul wins the championship, glory will leave.

This is what he least wants to see.

As the manager of St. Paul's club, he actually began to pray to God and let the team fail in the finals.

In his opinion, the championship is gone, and we can work harder next time. But Glory is let go, and we will never think about letting him return to St. Paul again in this life...

A week later, St. Paul welcomed the Blue Cross at home.

This time, Gengguang and Kaka did not continue to sit on the bench.

At his home court, Osvaldo sent the strongest lineup, and he wanted to ensure that the team could win and advance to the semi-finals.

At home, Kaka scored the only goal in the game, helping Sao Paulo Uj's Sex Blue Cross to advance to the semi-finals with a total score of 4l

At the same time, Gremio lost 2 away to Colombia's Medellin, and was eliminated from the total score B4.

In this way, Brazilian football is only one of the only players like Sao Paulo in the South American Liberators Cup

The four teams that reached the semi-finals were Sao Paulo from Brazil, Medellin from Colombia, Boca Youth from Argentina, and Cali America from Colombia.

According to the draw, Sao Paulo's opponent in the semi-finals is Medellin's independence.

The Boca youth encounters Cali America.

Many people were surprised that Cali America, who was easily defeated by Sao Paulo in the South American Liberators Group Stage, was able to reach the semi-finals.

But in fact, Cali America's performance was very outstanding. Losing to Sao Paulo may only mean that Sao Paulo is too powerful...

Cali America's total score in the quarterfinals - defeating the traditional giants of Argentina, which shows that their strength is not weak.

In the semi-finals of the Liberators in South America, there were two teams from Colombia, and Colombian football became the biggest winner in this year's Liberators Cup.

Colombia fans and media naturally hope that the team can go further.

The two teams also expressed the same view.

They hope to meet in the final of the Liberators Cup and turn the Liberators Cup final into a civil war in Colombia

"We know that Sao Paulo is strong, but we are not weak either." Before the semi-finals, Medellin's independent midfielder Betoia seemed confident. "We are the 'one-minute team of God, and several times we won at the last moment."

To eliminate Gremio, Medellin Independent team was eliminated in the last minute, and forward William Vosquez, who came on as a substitute, scored a winning goal.

"We have defeated Boca Youth and Gremio, and we will definitely be able to play well in Brazil's game.

Medellin was assigned to the same group match against Boca Youth in the first stage of the group stage. They defeated Boca Youth 0 at their home court, and the only goal scored for the team was this confident Bedoya.

At that time, he advanced in the midfield, and then shot a shocking long shot, breaking open the goal guarded by Abangdancheri.

Medellin's confidence in independence is well-founded.

In order to allow them to prepare for the Liberators Cup with peace of mind, a team from Medellin Independence and Cali America in the latest Colombia national team training list has not been seen.

In fact, these two teams are the most recent international players of the Colombia national team.

Medellin's independence seasons were the best in their seasons.

Cali America was a 2-year Colombian Autumn League champion, while Medellin Independence was last year's annual champion.

Perhaps their only problem is that they have insufficient experience, because this is their first time participating in the Copa Libertadores.

However, in this Liberators Cup, they have accumulated a lot of experiences to reach the semi-finals.

And the schedule is more beneficial to them.

The semi-finals of the two Colombian teams played away first and then home.

In the quarterfinals, both teams made full use of their home advantage, Cali America lost first and then defeated River Plate, and Medellin tied first and then won and eliminated Gremio.

Osvaldo also attaches great importance to this opponent.

In his opinion, the semi-finals may be a more difficult game than the final.

Because everyone wants to enter the finals, entering the finals means that at least one runner-up can win.

If you are eliminated in the semi-finals, you will have nothing.

Especially the opponent is Colombia's team.

Colombian football seems to have returned to their early nineties golden years in the past two years.

In the Copa America two years ago, the Colombia national team won the championship.

In this year's Liberators Cup semi-finals, Colombia team has two other seats.

Osvaldo dared not wait at all.

Moreover, the preparation time is not long, only one week.

After determining the semi-final opponent, the first thing Osvaldo did was to show the players the game between Medellin and Gremio independently.

Gremio is Sao Paulo's opponent in the Brazil National Championships, and he is also familiar with it.

Medellin's independence is much stranger to St. Paul.

Because this is the first time this team has participated in the Liberators Cup.

"Unlike Cali America completely confusing the riverbed, Medellin Independent and Gremio are always in a state of attacking." While playing the game video, Osvaldo analyzed and explained to the players.

"Both rebels have adopted drastic styles, and long passes and long shots have become the main tactical styles. So our tactics against the Blue Cross are no longer useful in this game."

"Their midfield core is Belia, their No. 8. Although he is only twenty-five years old, he is already an old player in the team. He is mainly responsible for dispatching and has an excellent long shot. He once scored a very beautiful long shot against the Boca Youth Team. So when he gets the ball in the midfield, he must go up to defend closely as soon as possible and must not give him the opportunity to shoot unscrupulously."

"Medellin's tactical style can be seen from their players. Their main striker is Serna, who is 1.9 meters tall and is extremely good at heading the ball. He also has experience playing in Europe and has played for the Italian Como team. He has also been selected for the National Olympic Team and the national team, and has rich experience. With such a center in front of the goal, Medellin's independence will naturally try to walk in the air. So these two games are a huge test for our air defense ability..."

"On the wing, they also have very strong players. Pay attention to their third left-back Roberto Carlos... Well, it's not Roberto Carlos in our national team, but just a duplicate name." Seeing that his teammates showed a puzzled look after hearing this name, Osvaldo quickly explained. "It just so happens that Roberto Carlos also plays left-back, and...the characteristics are also very similar."

Speaking of this, Lucas shouted, "Isn't that Roberto Carlos?"
