Chapter 096 The final battle and the departure of Lao Wa Dao
After some discussion, Li Zhao finally agreed to the plan and asked Dolsa to make the appointment first. After chatting for a while, Laura also left.
Regarding the manpower for this matter, Li Zhao estimated that at least three people would be needed. The Iron Triangle's statement was not unreasonable. Doing this job required certain requirements for brains, skills, and coordination.
Apart from Li Zhao and Laura, he has not identified any other suitable candidates yet. Although Li Ruolan is a little inferior in skills, she is very good in other aspects and is also his ideal companion, just because she is the most popular among his entire group.
It has an irreplaceable role, but whether it can be used again when the time comes is a big question.
Li Zhao checked the Brazilian Second Division schedule that has been released this year. They will play against Villanova in the league on August 26, so it is still too early to say these things and can only be shelved for the time being.
March 23rd was the final game of the regular season of the Sao Paulo State Championship. After lunch, the Rio Claire players went to the Calder Stadium for adaptive training. The Portuguese players had already finished today’s training, so they simply went
They would watch each other's training from a distance, and from time to time the team members would discuss it among themselves.
"When it comes to defense, the most important thing we need to pay attention to is the opponent's Rio Costa. He has scored 10 goals now." Dana suddenly said. As a goalkeeper, he is very aggressive to any offensive player who threatens the opponent.
I care a lot about it.
"That's natural, but don't worry too much. They will also be on guard against our two top shooters. In comparison, our shooters should be more of a headache for them!" Wang Ziyi said,
He is more optimistic about this.
"Actually, it doesn't have to be like this. Rather than defending a specific goal, I think it's more important to maintain the resilience of the overall defense. If there is a loophole, then every opponent player who appears in the dangerous area is the same threat.
"That Rio Costa is certainly very good, but he has not yet reached the point where I need to be specifically guarded. Of course, if he has Li Zhao's level, I will still consider it," Figo commented.
"Although the overall level of Brazilian players has declined in recent years, it is still a place where individual talents emerge. Isn't that the case with Neymar? Fortunately, he was poached by Barcelona at the end of last year, otherwise Santos would be stronger this year.
"Su Maozhen said.
"Having said that, according to my observation, since Neymar left, Brazil has not had a player of comparable strength. This has caused a gap in the connection of overall strength. In this regard, the old man has the most say.
, what do you think?" Figo said and looked at Rivaldo beside him.
"That's true!" Rivaldo sighed and then continued: "Currently Brazil has been impacted by European schools, but it has learned it without being embarrassed or embarrassed, so that it has lost its own characteristics. Of course, this is not the most important thing.
, the loss of talent is the root cause of this situation. I have a very bad feeling that the prospects of the Brazilian team in this year's World Cup are worrying! My agreement with you has expired, so wait for you
After the game is over, it’s time for me to leave.”
In fact, the date he agreed on had already arrived, and the persistence until now was the result of everyone's efforts to retain him. However, because the contract with Mochi Milin was settled, it was time for him to leave.
"If you want to stay, don't say any more. If you perform well this time, let me see the results of everyone's training." Rivaldo said.
"Okay, let us bid farewell to the old man with a victory!" Figo set the final tone.
During the whole process, Li Zhao didn't speak as much as usual, because everyone had said everything he needed to say. At this time, he only had the firm belief in winning the game.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the game officially started.
Liau Claire's strength is still good. Although it can only be regarded as a mid-range position in the rankings, it can often not fall behind in competitions with many strong opponents. However, because of this, they also have no pressure from above and below.
, playing tacit basketball can also be another option for them. Before the game, the opponent's coach also hinted at such a willingness, but Figo didn't pay much attention to it.
In the first 20 minutes after the opening, both teams played tepidly, and the scene was not very exciting. However, Rioclaire obviously underestimated the Portuguese's determination, and the Portuguese's previous performance was just testing and confusing.
They were just opponents. For this reason, they deliberately hid several strikers, and instead pushed the original attacking midfielder Gabriel to the front. After figuring out the opponent's tactics, the Portuguese began to launch a fierce offensive.
In the 26th minute, a quick raid by the Portuguese team was very successful, and Li Zhao assisted Gabriel to score the goal.
Rioclair, who was one goal behind, also reacted and started to attack. However, their offensive obviously did not work. Instead, in the 35th minute, they gave the opponent a well-positioned free kick in the frontcourt.
Li Zhao was not polite, and scored the goal with a falling ball that hit the upper right corner of the goal, leaving the opponent's goalkeeper helpless.
Before the end of the first half, Rio Claire finally got a chance. Star star Leo Costa scored a world-beating goal in the 45th minute, finally repaying the Portuguese with a goal.
But before they could gain momentum, they were extinguished by a quick A.
At the beginning of the second half, Li Zhao took advantage of the opponent's lax thinking, successfully broke into their penalty area, and then scored a goal.
Then Figo replaced Zhang Yuning, and he soon gained results.
In the 62nd minute, Wang Ziyi hit the goal from a long distance and the opponent's goalkeeper missed the ball. Zhang Yuning followed up with a follow-up shot that penetrated the goal and scored his third goal of the season.
Later, Rio Claire replaced several main players, including Rio Costa, to show that he had given up resistance, while Figo also replaced Li Zhao and Dyna, and the two sides continued to fight with this lineup.
In the stoppage time of the second half, Rioclaire once again pulled a goal back, and Christian succeeded with a sudden shot from the front of the penalty area. Unfortunately, it all came too late and had no practical significance.
In the end, the Portuguese were able to defeat their invading opponents with a score of 4-2 at home.
Several other games also ended at similar times.
In Corinthians' match against Sorocaba, they beat their opponent 3-0 at home thanks to Romarinho's hat-trick.
Sao Paulo challenged Botafogo SP away from home and won the match 2-0.
Ituano defeated Pena Bolens 1-0.
In the match between Piracicaba and Commercial Football Club, both sides fought for relegation, and ended up drawing 1-1. Piracicaba successfully avoided relegation, while Commercial Football Club was unfortunately relegated, ranking fourth from the bottom.
After a 90-minute fierce battle between Odas San Paolo and Linase, Odas Sao Paulo conceded a goal at the last minute and lost 0-1 to their opponent. For Odas Sao Paulo, this defeat prevented them from qualifying for the next stage of the competition.
However, Linassar successfully avoided relegation with this game.
Santos and Palmeiras finally faced off against each other in the final stage. This game will directly determine the top spot and is also a battle for honor. In the end, Santos was superior and defeated his opponent 2-1.
At the same time, he also won the championship. But the current ranking can't explain anything. The winner at the end of the knockout round can be regarded as the one with the last laugh.
Pontypreta faced Mochimirin at home and unexpectedly lost the game with a big score of 0-4. At the same time, they also gave the opponent a big fortune and helped the opponent successfully avoid relegation.
Sao Paulo City faced Bagantino at home. After losing hope, they did not choose to let go. The 1-1 draw with the opponent also made Bagantino lose the qualification to advance to the semi-finals.
San Bernardo played against Oster at home. Although they beat their opponents with a score of 5-2, it was a lose-lose game. San Bernardo was hopeless to advance by one point, and their opponents were also sent to them.
Among the relegated teams.
The teams that finally advanced to the semi-finals from one to eight were Santos, Palmeiras, Portuguese, Botafogo, Ituano, Sao Paulo, Corinthians and Pontepreta.
Rivaldo left after the game. He was very satisfied with the result. He also sent a message to Li Zhao before leaving: "There is one more thing I didn't say. You are the next player I am optimistic about, but it is a pity that you are not
Brazilian, otherwise with your ability you will definitely be the next leader of the national team in the future.
All the people who have caught my eye before have made great achievements in football, so you have to work harder."
