Chapter 144 Strong duel (guarantee
St. Paul defeated Medellin Independent in B0 at home, and this score was already thought that the second leg had lost suspense.
Medellin Independence coach Carrera was comforting his players, and his eyes fell on Roberto Carlos, who was sitting on the ground in a daze.
Seeing him like this, he was like a stray dog. He was full of confidence and spirit before the game started.
He shook his head.
He also didn't expect Roberto Carlos to be hit such a heavy blow in the game.
He thought that even if he lost, he should just lose. He could cheer up Roberto Carlos again by saying a few words at that time. Maybe Carlos could just burst into the game in the second round and defeat Glory...
This is Carrera's wishful thinking.
Unexpectedly, Glory actually lost confidence in playing Roberto Carlos in this game
This also led to the team being completely defeated, so his carefully prepared second round would have no meaning at all.
Previously, the media said that Medellin was good at taking advantage of home games, and that was how Gremio died.
I don’t know if St. Paul heard this evaluation, so he finished his efforts in one battle and Yu Qian killed the suspense of the game in the first round.
Carrera was also helpless about this.
This Sao Paulo is really strong...
He can't complain about Carlos's poor psychological quality. Because after watching the second half of the game, he must admit that if he had been on the way, he might not be able to hold on to the 45-minute game and ask for a replacement.
It was already great that Carlos could withstand for forty-five minutes without breaking down.
When you meet a monster, no one can do anything.
※※※
In the second leg of the game a week later, Roberto Carlos disappeared from the starting roster.
Carrera did not put him on the starting list because Glory has proved that he is not afraid of Roberto Carlos at all. Moreover, Carlos seems to have a shadow on Glory. If he is allowed to continue to play, there is a high chance of performing abnormally when facing Glory.
At this time, there is no need to let Carlos come on stage to be torture and mocking.
Rather than taking him off directly.
Although they were already behind three goals, Medellin was indeed very tenacious in his home court. They did not give up on the game because they seemed to have lost hope of promotion.
Amid the shouts of home fans, they are still fighting against Sao Paulo according to the coach's arrangement before the game.
It’s a pity that there is still a big gap in strength between the two sides.
Kaka scored one goal in the first and second half, scoring twice, helping Sao Paulo defeat Medellin 20 away and independent.
Rongguang performed very mediocrely in this game, far less active than the previous round.
Perhaps it was because Roberto Carlos was not present.
He was a little overwhelmed.
Although he was very upset in the first round, Roberto Carlos made him three times in a row, it was precisely because of Roberto Carlos' performance that he aroused glorious fighting spirit and anger.
In this game, the opposite side was replaced by an ordinary person.
Without any outstanding characteristics, Rongguang is inevitably not excited enough when facing him.
In essence, Rongguang is the kind of player who is strong when facing strong opponents. When his opponent is strong, he often performs at a super level.
Otherwise, how could he be called "the key gentleman of St. Paul"?
No goals or assists, Rong Guang played for 70 minutes and was replaced by head coach Osvaldo.
Of course, the head coach replaced him not because he did not perform well enough, but because Sao Paulo is sure to win and advance to the final is a foregone conclusion. There is no need to let the main players bear the risk of injury on the court and waste physical strength.
Rongguang was the first to end. Five minutes later, Kaka, who won two yuan in this game, was replaced.
St. Paul fans have already started celebrating the victory in advance.
The independent fans of Medellin in the stands are much quieter than when the game started.
At that time, they were somewhat lucky. Maybe the team performed well at home and performed well, and eliminated Sao Paulo with four goals?
And now, with the cruel reality in front of them, they are a little embarrassed.
When Medellin Independence and Cali America entered the semi-finals, Colombian fans also fancied the two teams to join the finals, turning the South American Liberators Cup final into a civil war in Colombia.
But now, the dream is shattered.
The great revival of "coffee football" seems to be going to be pushed back...
※※※
After the game in Sao Paulo, the Boca Youth Team and Cali America also ended.
In the first round, the Boca Youth defeated Cali America 20 at home, and there was basically no suspense.
In the second leg, the Boca Youth Team seemed to be demonstrating to their final opponents, sweeping Cali America 40 away.
With a total score of 60, they also reached the final.
Will compete with St. Paul for the Copa Libertadores.
※※※
There are two Colombian teams in the semi-finals of the South American Liberators Cup, which is somewhat surprising. Some media even regarded Medellin as an independent breakthrough in the semi-finals as a "upset".
Now, from the finals against both sides, the traditional pattern of the Liberators Cup has finally been restored.
The showdown between Brazil and Argentina giants.
Both giants showed good competitive state before the finals, one was to eliminate their opponents with a total score of 60, and the other was to advance to the finals with a total score of 0.
The state shown by the two giants makes everyone look forward to this Liberators Cup final.
The first leg of the final will be in a week.
St. Paul plays away first.
This schedule is more beneficial to them.
The candy and courts of Boca Youth are not so easy to conquer.
Even St. Paul's away record in this year's Liberators Cup match was very good, and these past data lost their meaning in the finals.
Osvaldo has set a plan for the team to not lose or lose a goal away.
Let's decide the outcome when you return to home.
So on the away game, Sao Paulo will play a defensive counterattack. The tactics at home are determined based on the results of the first round.
For a whole week, St. Paul was admonishing him.
Brazilians do not like the routine of defensive counterattack, but Osvaldo insists on fighting against the counterattack in Sao Paulo, and he has been criticized by the media a lot.
But facts are more eloquent than words. St. Paul, who is playing defensive counterattack, has won all the championships they can win in the past year.
Now there is a great chance of winning the Copa Libertadores.
Regardless of whether Brazilian fans and media are willing to accept it, defense equals championship, this sentence is now very suitable for use in Sao Paulo.
※※※
From the end of the semi-finals, the media began to hype the finals of the Liberators Cup.
Because this is a standard strong dialogue.
I won’t talk about St. Paul’s performance, everyone knows it.
Let’s talk about St. Paul’s opponent Boca Youth.
Let’s not talk about the current state of Boca youth, just talking about their historical record, they are brilliant in the Copa Liberators. They have won the Copa Liberators in a total of four times in history, second only to the Argentine Independence team, which won seven times and the Uruguay Penarrole, which won five times.
They won the Liberators Cup twice in the last three years.
It can be said to be the golden age of Boca youth.
The head coach of this Boca youth team is now the famous coach "Governor" Bianchi.
Both of the Boca Youth's championships in the last three years have been won under his leadership.
His youth in Boca is like his nickname - "Governor", and has an extraordinary status.
Naturally, there are strong people gathering in the formation.
The most popular person at the moment is a young man named Carlos Tevez, who is a talented player who has attracted much attention from European scouts.
He has scored three goals in the elimination stage.
In addition, other players are also very good.
The goalkeeper is Abangdan Xieli, who will be the national gate of Argentina in the future.
In the right back position, the most popular defender in Boca Youth Team history, Ugo Ivara, who was selected by fans in the future, is also the deputy captain of Boca Youth.
The central defender is Roland Skiyavi, who later became the captain of Boca Youth and also transferred to Shanghai Shenhua.
Another central defender is Argentine international Nicolas Burdiso, who is famous in the future and plays for Inter Milan.
The left-back is Argentina's domestic rookie Clement Rodriguez. He later participated in the 204 Athens Olympics and won the Olympic gold medal.
As for the striker, there are even more experts. In addition to Tevez, there are also later Argentine international Marcelo Delgado.
And veteran striker Guillermo Seroto, who has played for many years in Boca youth.
The substitute goalkeeper is also the future star Cavalero.
Moreover, their head coach Bianchi is a typical "Brazilian nemesis". Bianchi has led the team to the South American Liberators Cup three times, two of which were won by Brazilian teams. During his time as Saasfield coach, he won the championship for the first time on the shoulders of the Saasfield team - Sao Paulo again.
In 26 years, he coached Boca Youth and led the team to defeat Palmeiras and won the Liberators Cup.
The Boca Youth Team had a good winning rate when facing the Brazilian team in the final. They won four championships, two of which were achieved after defeating the Brazilian team. In 1977, they defeated Gremio and in 26 years it was Palmeiras.
The Brazilian team met the Argentine team in the final and became the "spaper" of the Argentines. In the nine final matches between the two sides, the Brazilian lost six times. The largest city, Sao Paulo, has become an ominous place for the Brazilians, losing four games at their doorstep in the six finals. The only two home wins were the 1992 Sao Paulo defeated the old buddy of Newells and the 1999 Palmeiras defeated the Gali Sports Team.
