The King of Football
Compared to attacking
...
"Camby! Tell everyone, we'll attack!" It's impossible to survive. Now the Sao Paulo offensive has fully begun under Kaka's leadership. If you want to limit Sao Paulo's current attack, certainly not something that a team like River Plate that has trained temporarily for a few days to defend can do.
Since you can't defend, then firmly put away your previous idea of playing a defensive counterattack, and fight against Sao Paulo!
Adaptability is an important quality for players.
Offense is truly the expertise of the River Plate team!
The home fans also shouted out loudly after seeing their team attack loudly!
At the Monument Stadium, Sao Paulo and River Plate battle each other.
Both teams have a lot of scoring opportunities, and now the comparison is who has a stronger ability in capturing opportunities.
Master duel, often a sword to seal the throat.
If River Plate cannot limit Kaka's performance, then Sao Paulo cannot limit Leon Weir's performance.
Leon's organisation and scheduling in midfield left Sao Paulo's defenders exhausted, and his sudden dribble and long-range shot left Sao Paulo terrified.
After all, Leon is the top scorer in this year's Copa Libertadores!
In the previous game, Leon had scored ten goals, which was a frightening number.
Twenty-seven minutes of first half! River Plate is back in the lead.
It was Cambiasso's quick pass from midfield after receiving a direct pass from Leon. The Sao Paulo midfielder failed to block Cambiasso's breakthrough, and Cambiasso also quickly scored the ball after the breakthrough. Play two-to-one with your teammates...
I saw the little donkey Ortega angled passing the ball back to Cambiasso, and Cambiasso had run almost twenty yards by now!
He has come to the interior of St. Paul's!
Handling the ball in front of the penalty area was not Camby's forte, so Leon had already picked him up behind Camby.
Cambiasso returned the ball to his partner and moved forward again, while Leon faked a shot to trick the Sao Paulo defender and then passed the penalty area!
The ball leaps over the head of the centre-back in Sao Paulo, a beautiful rainbow!
Cambiasso, who had been pushing forward and had never been surpassed, stopped the ball with his chest in the penalty area, and Camby, whose center of gravity was somewhat unstable, hit the ball horizontally with his left foot to the middle before he fell to the ground.
Sao Paulo's position in front of goal was too close to Camby's side, and when Dali Sandro's big head appeared in front of the ball, he almost faced an empty net.
Datou did not miss this good opportunity, and he calmly pushed the shot to give the team the lead again!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
“We lead again, with a total score of 2 to 1! This is an iconic combination of the River Plate midfield! I don't know how many opponents have headaches with this combination! Two defensive midfielders joined forces to direct the attack. ! Dalisandro's goal was easy!"
The avalanche started after the crowd at the Monument Stadium! The scene is not spectacular.
And Sao Paulo, who lost the ball, showed no expression of frustration.
As Kaka walked past Leon, he still said sternly: "The last winner must be us!"
And Leon responds to the handsome Brazilian sunshine: "Wait and see, Ricardo."
Game continues! Sao Paulo, who had just conceded the ball, launched a counter-attack.
This time, the River Plate team did not retreat, but bravely and boldly rushed over ... Perhaps it had adapted to the defensive counterattacks of the River Plate team for a long time. In contrast, the Sao Paulo team was a little uncomfortable with the brave game of the River Plate team...
So in the next game, Sao Paulo has been offside three times in a row.
“It looks like they are in a hurry.” Leon also felt impatience in the hearts of the Sao Paulo players, because they were left behind, so they will be in a hurry.
"Camby, stabilize the rhythm, they're in a hurry, so they're going to pounce very ferociously, as long as we can control the ball and slowly move forward, chances will come." Leon looked at his good partner, Cambiasso said. .
“Don't worry, partner! I'll listen to you!” Cambiasso.
And Leon is also a little moved, this sentence listens to you, how trusting it is in his own decision-making!
After a few minutes of observing, Leon, who controls the rhythm in midfield, also thinks inwardly: The opponent is impatient now, he said, and the reason why they were offside three times in a row was because they wanted to equalise.
Attitude is an important part!
We will have the opportunity to perform!
...
Sure enough, in the face of steady position attacks from the River Plate team, the Sao Paulo defenders always want to go forward and seize.
In the 39th minute of the first half, River Plate found a chance after passing some effective guidance.Leon's move in the middle of midfield drew two players from Sao Paulo and involved a Sao Paulo backline.
Upon seeing the opponent's siege coming, Leon also used the outer instep to suddenly move the ball to the right!
The great head of Dali Sandro, who had long been ambushed, was like a rabbit in the Pampas meadow, cleverly waiting for an opportunity to kill!
The backline of the Sao Paulo team is in chaos!
"Dali Sandro cut into the box! Good opportunity!"
"B----------------!"
The whistle touched everyone's heart.
He aimed his hand at a distance of twelve yards, a penalty kick! Dalisandro's fair use of the rules and home field advantage, as well as his poor refereeing position, cheated a penalty for River Plate.
Sao Paulo players protested, but what was the point of protesting? The referee's decision was too firm!
“You did a good job, you really made me see Inzaghi.” style Leon smirked after punching Dalisandro's big head.
Dalisandro was a little sad: "He really pushed me ..."
Leon shook his head, "OK, I know he really pushed you! He is still acting in front of me! ! Be careful not to take you to a good place next time."
“Yah, don't!” Dalisandro stuck his tongue out mischievously at Leon and ran to take the penalty.
He was River Plate's first penalty kicker.
The Sao Paulo players can only pray that Dalisandro cannot score at the moment, otherwise River Plate will be two goals ahead of them...
But how can Dali Sandro get Sao Paulo's wish? On the field, Kaka saw the scoreboard a bit lonely, and this scene was also captured by the camera.
“I wonder if Kaka's expression will prove that we won?” Kempes asked curiously.
“That's not necessarily true, Kempes, but now we have the upper hand, three on one! Now it's hard for Sao Paulo to back off,” Varidek joked with a smile.
“And the first half of the game is almost over, there is not much time left for Brazil!” Kempes was also a little happy at heart, as the River Plate team was already close to the championship.
But the River Plate side who were holding back two goals were a little sloppy. After Kaka's lonely expression earlier, the camera did not catch his fist clenching expression!
Leonville! The winner must be me!
Kaka's assertiveness woke up the anxious teammate! The Sao Paulo team let go of their hands and feet, while the River Plate team's defence seems a bit loose at the moment, so it was Sao Paulo who really let go, he said, capitalizing on the carelessness of the River Plate team and scoring.by Luis Fabiano before the end of the first half A ball!
This was the ball after Kaka's quick breakthrough in the middle, and Leon was unable to block Kaka's breakthrough.
Kaka's personal abilities are indeed above his...
"Damn it..." In the past, Kaka broke through himself, and his team-mate or Camby would replace him, but once the two goals were in hand, the other players at River Plate were too lazy!
And for Kaka who could calmly send a lopsided pass after reaching the threat zone, no one had come to charge Leon!
As Brazil's future first-team striker, Luis Fabiano will certainly not miss this score-close goal!
Two to three! Fabiano pulled a point back for Sao Paulo in one fell swoop!
Monument Stadium which is still very lively, suddenly became quiet again, because of the tension pulled back by Sao Paulo.
"Huh ..." Leon looked at Kaka again this time, "Ricardo, it looks like you want me to knock down the front two teeth even if I win the championship."
No way, no one in the River Plate team could limit Kaka's one-on-one performances, not even Leon himself.
One-on-one defense is also not Cambiasso's specialty.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, both teams fought 2-2. Including the score in the first half, the total score fell to River Plate for a 3-2 lead.
Initially, if River Plate could maintain a three-on-one lead for a longer time, then Sao Paulo's momentum and attack would naturally weaken.
But now it seems that the momentum of Sao Paulo is not weakening, but increasing!
The second half will definitely be a tough fight again.
...
In the River Plate dressing room, everyone's expression was a little nervous, because in 45 minutes, the River Plate team would dominate South America after winning successive Ajia Spring and Autumn Championships.
The tension is definitely, after all, for the current River Plate players, the Copa Libertadores final is the first time, everyone wants the title...
"Guy! I know you want to win! But you have to remember that the championship is only for the Braves! You guys did a good job in the first half, 2-2, we didn't lose! But this is our home! Series means we lose! So in the second half, I want you to show Sao Paulo with a better performance - we are the king of South America!” Iron man Carlos Babinton did not set up any tactics during the halftime break and made adjustments.
Carlos Babintong knows that he has reached the final level. Too many tactics and adjustments are just clouds!
Psychological quality and performance on the field are the most important factors in determining championship ownership.
"Because Brazil want to play against us! Then we will compare with them, who is the most powerful team in South America! Who deserves the title." Carlos Babinton successfully deployed the Blood of the players ...
Fifteen minutes of rest just went by, and as Carlos Babinton said, victory would only belong to the braver side!
...
Early in the second half, Sao Paulo launched a fierce attack, and this time the River Plate team retaliated with a mercury-like attack!
Attack in attack! It's no fun watching neutral fans.
But for the players of both teams, it was not at all fun, too scary!
At this time, when the ball is off, the camera lens is pointed at Leonwell.
This is a close-up opportunity for him.
