“Is this the state of Sao Paulo in Brazil? It's my first time here.” Inside the River Plate team bus, big head Dali Sandro said as he looked at the Brazil scene with curiosity.
“Santos... This opponent is not easy to face.” Cambiasso frowned while holding the roster of the Santos team.
Camby, what do you think of the players at Santos?” Leon glanced at Camby curiously. He wanted to hear the comparison between Cambiasso and Santos after watching some Santos matches. Reviews of famous players.
Ortega also came, Cambiasso never spoke, but every word he said was carefully thought out.
“Actually, in my opinion Robinho, who was touted by Brazil in the Santos team, is not bad now. He is too young, only 16 years old, and lacks playing experience. Brazilian media called him a bomb attacker. Dre was also not scary as he was the end point of the attack, not the starting point. The players I was really afraid of at Santos were Diego and Elano... By the way, I think the combination of the two is very similar and I'm Leon." Cambiasso glanced at Leon and said.
“Oh?” ask Leon curious, “Why? Camby?”
“True, Camby, why?”added Otega.
Cambia Suo paused for a moment: "Elano is the type of midfielder with strong running ability. He has good forward movement sensitivity and has excellent long-range shots. His style characteristics probably got him on the field. It wasn't good enough, but for a team, a player with Elano's characteristics is obviously very important. And Diego, like Leon, is a midfielder with strong organisational ability and attacking ability... So, I think their partnership is very similar to mine and Leon."
"Camby, it looks like you've finished your homework! Don't worry, we're both the strongest midfield combination" Leon said confidently.
Cambiasso nodded, "That's a must!"
...
Diego, Elano, Robinho, Andre...
Dalisandro, Leonville, Cambiasso, Ortega...
The first round of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals, this real monster fight started at the Urbano-Caldella Stadium!
The Urbano Stadium, which can accommodate 20,000 people, is full today! Although Santos' home stadium is much smaller than the River Plate monument, precisely because the stadium is small, the echoes of Brazilian fans are quite large.
South Americans are known for playing with their feet, so unless the difference between the home team and the away team is too big, no one will make a fuss about the grass.
And this game, which is very much feared by the Brazilian and Argentine fans, was also started by Pele II Robinho of Santos, who was the first to play the game, the 16-year-old - with a beautiful bike pass from the left to announce the start of the game!
"Robinho made a breakthrough on the left! Awesome foot technique!"
Robinho, whose body was not yet fully exposed, and his immature face, was like a little Zhengtai.
But his spirituality in playing football has been fully revealed. Robinho, who has a fast dribbling speed, continues to move forward from the left. At this moment, he also saw that Leonwell had redeemed his defense.
Robinho says Leon is his idol.
Just as anyone in the NBA golden generation will be excited when they meet Jordan, Robinho today is also very excited!
Facing Leon's defence, the competitive Brazilian did not choose to drop the ball to Elano, who had already come first, but chose to force a breakthrough from the outside!
Its upper body makes a very inconspicuous imitation, and then one, two, three, four, five, six... In just the blink of an eye, Robinho finished eight times on the bike!
Cyclists also drew cheers from fans at the scene!
In South America, you can play the ball to the fullest without being blamed by the fans, even if you make a mistake this time, come back next time!
The player imagination is very tolerant here, so there are so many imaginative stars in South America.
This is also the reason why England with square heads always lack imaginative players, because they do not dare to make a move, and they will be scolded by the coach for making a move...
Robinho's skillful cycling skills didn't fool Leon's eyes!
I saw Leon not move, until the moment Robinho stepped on the bike and was forced to walk out, he stretched out his right leg and broke the ball! Amazing predictions, patiently waiting! Leon is like a hunter waiting for Robinho when his prey seems vulnerable.
Robinho and Leon's first confrontation, Leon wins.
The little Zhengtai Robinho, instead of being frustrated, was even more excited after the ball was stolen, he immediately counterattacked, but Leon had already protected the ball with his body.
At this moment, on the field, the River Plate team's counterattack had begun. Cambiasso came to respond to Leon. After the two passed a beautiful two-on-one, Leon dribbled through the half.
Robinho was still following behind him reluctantly, and Leon was also very helpless towards this little Zhengtai who refused to admit defeat.
“Hei, Leon!” On the pitch, on the right, big head Dali Sandro asked Leon for the ball.
Leon immediately threw the ball into his big head, then ran into the middle position.
This time, Robinho is not following him anymore, of course Robinho also knows that defense is not his forte.
The big head who received the ball on the right also showed his incredible foot skills well.He used his signature Dali Sandro to step on the ball to win the crowd's astonishment...
Better than underground technology? The riverbed is not afraid of Santos! Compared to teamwork, River Plate is not afraid of Santos! More than imagination, more than aura, the riverbed is not afraid of Santos!
As a result, Banba Argentina quickly put pressure on the Santos team.
Diego, Santos' core midfielder, has not started playing today. Diego's best time should be playing in Bremen. Back then, he was agile and adept at passing and shooting... He also guided Bremen to the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the Champions League...
"Santos!!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!"
In the case of poor home team performances, the Brazilian fans in the stands hit drums, sang songs and danced samba! Brazilians will never be afraid to play against their opponents!
Instead, they want every opponent to play against them!
In the 11th minute of the first half, Diego's first possession threatened the River Plate goal. This is a stolen Elano in midfield. The big head, Dali Sandro, is a bit too big. His passing power was too light, and Elano dropped Diego over the ball after stealing the ball.
Diego overcomes Cambiasso's defence. He's as light as a bird. Just as Diego overstepped the midfield, Leon has not succeeded. The midfield magician Master raised his right leg and sent a straight pass!
This is an anti-offside opportunity created by attacking the River Plate team! You know, when Diego dribbled past Cambiasso, he didn't look up!
How did he observe the situation on the ground clearly?
Pele II Robinho swept the Urbano stadium grass like a gentle breeze, received the ball with the cheers of the Brazilian fans, and then cut from the left into the box to form a single knife!
Fortunately Robinho's last trip was too big, so the River Plate goalkeeper had a chance to contribute, otherwise the Brazilian's inspirational glint could have put the River Plate side's goal down...
Robinho's face was a little frustrated. This little Zhengtai only joined the team in January of this year, but in ten Brazilian league games, he has scored five goals!
Sixteen years... At such an age, Brazilian fans are looking forward to his future.
The match went on, Diego and Robinho's connections reminded the River Plate team, but don't be too saggy, as it's an away game.
...
Shortly after Diego started playing, Santos slowly regained dominance of the game.Selingi movement Elano in midfield and scheduling Diego, Santos began to play his own style.
Teenage racer Robinho is full of aura. In the 18th minute of the first half, when he made his breakthrough on the left, his sudden pass almost created a killing intent. Fortunately, bomb striker Andre did not park the ball properly and was caught by Leon. Destroy first...
Otherwise, it would be another one-handed chance for Andre to break into the penalty box now!
"That's Robinho... Indeed, it's a pity." Unfortunately, it would have been great if Robinho had not gone to Real Madrid back then. If he goes to a team that can make it a core... Maybe in the future his achievements will be really higher than Ronaldinho.
At least the aura he showed now made Leon a little admired.
“Camby, let's re-control the midfield together.” Utilizing the opportunity to ball out of the field, Leon looked at Cambiasso and said.
Cambiasso smiled and nodded, "I am willing to serve you, my noble son."
Leon looked at the man furiously.
How can midfield control be left to the Brazilian? Cambiasso and Leon started leading teammates to increase the pressure on Diego, Elano and others, which made the Brazilian start to make mistakes...
The Brazilian does not want to lose, as long as Leon and Cambiasso have the ball, there will definitely be Santos players who will press.
The two teams launched a battle around the midfield, which fully compares basic skills.
Why is national football afraid of pressing? Isn't that because of their lack of basic skills? Worse, the basic skills of a Japanese elementary school student may be better than that of a national soccer player.
Basic skills are nothing more than ball control and passing. As Leon Weir, who was praised for his skills in the A-League arena, his basic skills were honed daily in the time training space ...
So Elano and the others not only couldn't snatch the ball, but Leon and Camby worked together to rip a big gap off the midfield!
“Good opportunity!” Leon who managed to pass the Santos midfielder did a long pass. This time he's looking for his oldest brother, Ortega!
After stopping the ball from Leon with his chest on the left, the little donkey stepped on the gas pedal and rushed to Santos position ...
If Robinho is a cyclist, Ortega is a master smash!
The technical content of the game clearly exceeds that of many European leagues.but the level of physical confrontation is not very high.
It is also the difference between the South American League and the Europa League, one technical and the other physical.
Ortega's breakthrough left defender Santos looking a little helpless... Brazilian players, like Argentina, defending is not their forte.
Even in the Brazil national team, Robert Carlos and Cafu prefer assists, and even Lucio sometimes want to play some kicks...
No way, South American people have attack blood flowing in their bones!
Ortega cut into the penalty area from the left, at the moment, at least two players from Santos followed suit!
Ortega, who drew Santos' double-team defence, also hit the ball horizontally in haste!
Dalisandro, the big head that kept standing, was just a kick!
Unfortunately that big shot can be blocked by goalkeeper Santos!
River Plate got a corner kick, but their brilliant strike was also a warning for Santos...
Don't think that you'll get carried away after a few good strikes, the River Plate team also has the strength to break through their gates!
