"Congratulations on your victory!" Sao Paulo head coach Fernando Diniz, although the look on his face was not very good, came over to shake hands with Figo immediately after the game.

"Oh, thank you! To be honest, we were lucky to win this game." Figo also said politely.

"You performed very well, but our performance in this game was not ideal, so it is not surprising that we lost to you. But I may not be so lucky next time. I will definitely beat you." Fernando Diniz still said.

His attitude was revealed unconsciously.

"Then it should be the knockout stage, I hope we all have a chance to advance!" Figo said.

"That is necessary. Next time we meet Palmeiras, I hope you can beat them. I have long disliked this newly promoted team." Fernando Diniz said.

"You are asking us to complete what you have failed to do! If we encounter them, we will naturally try our best to defeat them." Figo said.

The away victory over Sao Paulo was a surprise, which allowed them to reach 15 points and move up to fourth place.

The results of the eighth round of the league also left some people happy and some sad, and other games also ended one after another.

First, Botafogo SP defeated Mochimirin 3-1 at home, which also moved them to third place in the standings.

Then there was a duel between Piracicaba and Oster, two mid- and lower-tier teams in the league. In the end, Piracicaba, who was at home, luckily won the match 3-2.

Audas Sao Paulo and Rioclaire drew 0-0 in this round.

As the second-last team in the league, Sorocaba finally started this round, defeating the challenger Ponte Preta 1-0 at home, but it was still a little short of a comeback.

Commercial Football Club drew 0-0 with San Bernardo.

Corinthians also drew 1-1 with Palmeiras at home.

Ituano defeated Bagantino 2-0, raising its ranking to sixth place.

Santos's away trip this time was a very unexpected loss to Pena Bolens 1-4. The defeat also returned the top spot to Palmeiras. And the home victory over the leader

Pena Bolens will also continue to face the Portuguese at home in the next round. This may be a more difficult battle for Li Zhao and the others.

Sao Paulo City challenged Linacer away from home, but lost 0-1, continuing their tragic fate of losing.

After this round, the league is halfway through, and the top eight in the standings are Palmeiras, Santos, Botafogo SP, Portuguese, Pena Bolens, Ituano, San Bernardo and Bagan

Tino.

In the scorer list, Li Zhao is far ahead of others with 11 goals and ranks first. Even in assists, he also occupies the first place with 6 assists.

In a club in St. Paul, two men were drinking wine dullly. After a while, one of the men suddenly smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground and said angrily: "Horton, you didn't do this.

It's clean. Look how long it has been, the Portuguese have grown up again, and they seem to be even more powerful than before."

"Who knew that things would develop so unexpectedly? Anyway, I have tried my best. Xue, I have sacrificed a lot of interests for this matter, so should you fulfill part of your promise now?" Holden asked in return.

"Don't worry about this, I'll give you everything I need, but you have to do it well!" Xue Jin said.

These two people were Xue Jin, who had a deep conflict with Li Zhao, and the former Portuguese financer Horton. Speaking of which, it was Xue Jin who found Holden first and instigated him to do what he did. Otherwise, Holden's ability and courage would have

It really can't have such a big influence. There was even Xue Jin behind the earlier campus incident, but that Sanders was really ineffective and had been given up by him long ago.

Of course, Guo Bin was also behind Xue Jin doing these things, and then there was Xiao Wu. Although Xiao Wu gave them some instructions, he also explained the rules. It's just that the mountains are high here and the emperor is far away, so the specific operation is unclear.

He came according to his own thoughts.

"I said that since you want to deal with that Li Zhao, why don't you go to him directly to do it? This will save you a lot of trouble." After a long silence, Holden said again.

"You think I haven't done it before, but that Li Zhao is not only a powerful bodyguard, but also not weak in his own kung fu. We have hit a wall many times on this matter, so now we choose to deal with those who are weak in force around him.

When people start, the current results are not ideal.

You were too cautious last time. If you could have done it all at once, there wouldn't have been so many things later. Now he still has so many players left in his hands. By the way, do you still have a way to encourage another group of players to leave that club?

?I really want to see how he can play the game if there are not enough players. He can't send those bodyguards on the field!" Xue Jin said.

"The operational scope of this matter is basically gone. Since this happened last time, the contracts of the remaining players have been dealt with. At least in the short term, it will be difficult to make a fuss about it.

Of course, if you spend money and make some promises regardless of the cost, I think it will be okay. Those ordinary players play for fame and fortune, but the price is high. Is it really worth it?" Horton

Then he followed the advice.

"This is indeed a way. You can do this when necessary. Money is not an issue. Many of your South American players come from hard-working backgrounds. Who would have trouble with money?" Xue Jin said quite confidently.

"Besides Li Zhao, the most important player in their team now is Henrique Santos. I don't know if we can make a fuss about him. If we can win him, the Portuguese will suffer a lot.

Fighting ability. Even if this move doesn't encourage the players on their team to leave, it can still make people's hearts float, and it will be difficult to play well in the game," Horton said.

"Mr. Holden's mind is indeed good. Li Zhao's firing of you is definitely a big loss for him. Your joining is an even greater advantage for me!" Xue Jin also changed his attitude towards him at this time, and even called him a different name.

, looking at this Holden, it was as if he was seeing another self.

"Then thank you Mr. Xue for your appreciation!" Holden complimented in the same way.

"If he chooses to start in Europe, it's really hard for me to start. But in South America, you can't blame me. It's very chaotic here. As long as the money is in place, I can completely fake some things." Xue Jin

murmured to himself.

Penapolis is the city where Pena Bolens is located. This is a small town. Their stadium is smaller than Calder Stadium, with a capacity of only 11,000 people, but it is undeniable that this

The strength of this team is very strong. The Portuguese will challenge Pena Bolens on February 19th, and Li Zhao and his party are on their way to this small town at this time.

"What's the matter? You look gloomy?" Doersa now pulled Li Zhao to the upper level of the bus. Although the weather was good, Li Zhao's face did not look happy at all.

"Although I defeated the Sao Paulo team, I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy. I feel like something bad will happen." Li Zhao said worriedly.

"Have you been too nervous recently, or haven't had a good rest? But if you really want to say it, I feel that something is wrong with Henrik's state today. He has been distracted several times. But I asked him what's the matter?

time, but refused to say it out loud." Doleza said.

"Is that so? I'll go ask him personally later," Li Zhao said.

"You don't need to ask him, because he has already told me honestly. It is said that someone is willing to double his salary and pay to buy out his contract, and also promised to arrange for him to join the Sao Paulo team afterwards. Although he

In the end, I refused, but I always feel that he seems to have something that he has not explained clearly. And not only him, many players in our club have been affected by similar situations. If this matter is not handled well, it will be worse than last time.

The incident will be more difficult, and we will really face a situation where no one can help us. Even if it does not reach that point, but people are so panicked, there will definitely be no thoughts during the game." But Figo suddenly came over at this time.

.

"Haven't we already given them a salary increase? If it doesn't work, we can raise it again," Li Zhao said.

"This matter is not that simple, and it cannot be done with money alone. How much do you think it will take to stabilize the morale of the military?

So there must be someone behind the scenes who is fueling the fire, and it is related to the last incident. If this is the case, we can no longer tolerate this Holden. This time I plan to take legal action and send him to prison to enjoy his life.
