"Camby! Tell everyone, we are going to attack!" It is impossible to keep defending. Now Sao Paulo's offense has been completely kicked out under the leadership of Kaka. If you want to restrict Sao Paulo's offense at this time, absolutely It's not something that a team like River Plate, which has temporarily trained defense for a few days, can do.
Since you can't defend, then decisively overturn your previous idea of wanting to play a defensive counterattack, and attack Sao Paulo!
Adaptability, for players, this is a very important quality.
Offense is indeed what the River Plate team is good at!
After seeing their team's fierce attack, the home fans also shouted loudly!
At Monument Stadium, St. Paul and River Plate launched a battle.
Both teams have a lot of scoring opportunities, and the comparison now is who is more capable of seizing opportunities.
In a duel between masters, it is often a sword to seal the throat.
If River Plate can't limit Kaka's performance, then Sao Paulo can't limit Leonwell's performance either.
Leon's organization and scheduling in the midfield made Sao Paulo's defensive players exhausted, and his sudden dribbling breakthrough and long-range shots made Sao Paulo very afraid.
After all, Leon is the top scorer in the Copa Libertadores this year!
In the previous game, Leon has scored ten goals, which is a daunting number.
The twenty-seventh minute of the first half! River Plate took the lead again.
This is Cambiasso's quick insertion from the middle of the midfield after receiving a direct pass from Leon. Sao Paulo's defensive midfielders failed to block Cambiasso's breakthrough, and Cambiasso also quickly scored the ball after the breakthrough Play two-on-one with teammates...
I saw the little donkey Ortega pass the ball obliquely back to Cambiasso knowingly, and Cambiasso has already rushed for nearly 20 meters at this time!
He has come to the hinterland of Sao Paulo!
Handling the ball in front of the penalty area is not Camby's specialty, so Leon has already been behind Camby to meet him.
Cambiasso returned the ball to his partner and went forward again, and Leon faked a shot to deceive the Sao Paulo defenders and then picked a pass into the penalty area!
The ball jumped over the head of Sao Paulo's central defender, a beautiful rainbow!
Cambiasso, who has been going forward and has never been surpassed, stopped the ball with his chest in the penalty area. Camby, who was a little unstable after stopping the ball with his chest, knocked the ball across the center with his left foot desperately before falling to the ground.
Sao Paulo's front position was too close to Camby's side, and when the big head Dalisandro appeared in front of the ball, he was almost facing an empty goal.
The big head did not miss this good opportunity, and his calm push gave the team another lead!
"We took the lead again, with a total score of 2 to 1! This is an iconic cooperation from the midfielder of the River Plate! Their cooperation has caused headaches for many opponents! Two defensive midfielders jointly directed the attack! Dalisandro's goal was so easy!"
After a wave of people set off at the Monument Stadium, the avalanche began! The scene is so spectacular.
After conceding the ball, Sao Paulo showed no expression of frustration.
When Kaka walked past Leon, he still said with firm eyes: "The final winner must be us!"
And Leon responded to the Brazilian sunny guy: "We will wait and see, Ricardo."
The game continues! Sao Paulo, who just lost the ball, immediately launched a counterattack.
This time, the River Plate team did not shrink back, but bravely and boldly jumped up... Maybe it has been adapted to the River Plate team's defensive counterattack style for a long time. On the contrary, the Sao Paulo team is a little uncomfortable with the brave style of play of the River Plate team...
So in the next game, the Sao Paulo team was offside three times in a row.
"It seems that they are very anxious." Leon also felt the impatience in the hearts of the Sao Paulo players, because they were behind, so they would be very anxious.
"Camby, stabilize the rhythm. They are very anxious, so they will rush fiercely. As long as we can control the ball and advance slowly, opportunities will appear." Leon looked at his good partner Cambiasso and said .
"Don't worry, partner! I will listen to you!" Cambiasso nodded.
And Leon was also a little moved, this sentence listens to you, how much trust in his decision-making!
Leon, who controlled the rhythm in the midfield, also thought after a few minutes of observation: The opponent is impatient now, and the reason why they have been offside three times in a row is because they are eager to equalize the score.
Mentality is a very important part!
We will definitely have the opportunity to show up!
...
Sure enough, Sao Paulo's defensive players always like to rush forward in front of the River Plate's stable positional attack. This kind of rush that is easy to lose position quickly gave the River Plate a chance!
In the 39th minute of the first half, the River Plate team found an opportunity after several effective guides. Leon's forward drive in the middle of the midfield attracted the marking of two Sao Paulo players, and involved the Sao Paulo team's defense to the center. move closer.
After seeing the opponent's siege coming up, Leon also suddenly turned the ball to the right with the outside of his instep!
Dalisandro, who had already ambushed, was like a rabbit on the Pampas grassland, alertly waiting for an opportunity to kill him!
The defense of the Sao Paulo team was in chaos!
"Dalisandro cuts into the box! Great chance!"
The big head who broke into the penalty area looked extremely calm. Looking at the Sao Paulo players who were defending against him, the big head leaned on him, and then took the ball forward and fell down decisively!
"b——————————————!"
The referee's whistle touched everyone's hearts.
He pointed to twelve yards, penalty! Dalisandro's reasonable use of the rules and home court advantage and the poor positioning of the referee tricked River Plate into a penalty.
The Sao Paulo players are protesting, but what's the point of protesting? The referee's decision was too firm!
"Beautiful job big head, you really let me see the demeanor of Inzaghi." Leon gave the big head Dalisandro a hard punch and said with a smirk.
Dalisandro was a little aggrieved: "He really pushed me..."
Leon shook his head, "Okay, I know he really pushed you! He's still acting in front of me! Tch! Be careful not to take you with you when you go to a good place next time."
"Well, don't!" Dalisandro stuck out his tongue mischievously at Leon and ran to take a penalty kick.
He is the first penalty shooter in the River Plate team.
The players of the Sao Paulo team can only pray that Dalisandro will not score at this time, otherwise the River Plate team will be two goals ahead of them...
But how can Dalisandro let Sao Paulo do what he wants? The big head steadily scored a penalty kick. On the court, Kaka looked at the scoreboard a little lonely, and this scene was also captured by the camera.
"I don't know if Kaka's expression has proved that we have won?" Kempes asked curiously.
"That's not necessarily the case, Kempes, but now we have the upper hand in morale, three to one! Now it will be difficult for Sao Paulo to get back." Varidek joked with a smile.
"And the first half of the game is almost over, and there is not much time left for the Brazilians!" Kempes was also a little happy in his heart, because the River Plate team was infinitely close to the championship.
But the River Plate team with two goals in hand was a little careless. After Kaka's lonely expression just now, the camera did not capture his clenched fist expression!
Lionwell! The winner must be me!
Kaka's firmness awakened the anxious teammates! Sao Paulo let their hands and feet loose, but River Plate's defense seemed a little lax at this time, so - Sao Paulo, who was completely let go, took advantage of River Plate's carelessness and scored before the end of the first half by Luis Fabiano one ball!
This is Kaka's quick breakthrough in the middle, and Leon has not been able to block Kaka's breakthrough.
Kaka's personal ability is indeed above him...
"Damn..." In the past, when Kaka broke through himself, his teammates or Camby would fill in for him, but after the two goals were in hand, the other players in the river plate were too lax!
As for Kaka who can calmly send a diagonal pass after breaking into the threat zone, no one came to fill Leon's position!
As the future striker of the Brazilian national team, Luis Fabiano will naturally not miss this goal to close the score!
Two to three! Fabiano pulled back a point for Sao Paulo in one stroke!
The Monument Stadium, which was still very lively, suddenly became quiet again, because the suspense was pulled back by Sao Paulo.
"Huh..." Leon looked at Kaka again at this time, "Ricardo, it seems that you want me to knock out two front teeth even if I win the championship."
There is no way, no one in the River Plate team can limit Kaka's performance one-on-one, not even Leon himself.
One-on-one defense is not Cambiasso's specialty.
When the whistle sounded for the end of the first half, the two teams fought 2-2. Counting the score of the first round, the total score was 3-2 for River Plate.
Originally, if River Plate could maintain a 3-to-1 lead for a little longer, then Sao Paulo's momentum and attack would naturally weaken.
But now it seems that Sao Paulo's momentum has not weakened, but has increased!
The second half of the game must be a hard fight again.
...
In the locker room of River Plate, everyone looked a little nervous. After all, maybe in another forty-five minutes, the River Plate team will soon dominate South America after winning back-to-back championships in the spring and autumn seasons of the A-League.
Nervousness is for sure. After all, for the current River Plate players, the Copa Libertadores final is also the first time. Everyone wants to be the champion...
"Guys! I know you want to win the championship! But you must remember that the championship only belongs to the brave! You did a good job in the first half, two to two, we did not lose! But this is our home game A tie means we lost! So in the second half, I want you to use better performance to tell Sao Paulo that we are the king of South America!" The hero Carlos Babinton did not arrange any tactics and tactics during the intermission. make any adjustments.
Carlos Babin knew that he had already reached the final level, and too many tactics and adjustments were just floating clouds!
Psychological quality and on-the-spot performance are the most important factors in determining the championship.
"Since the Brazilians want to attack us! Then we will compare with them, who is the most powerful team in South America! Who is worthy of the title of champion." Carlos Babington successfully mobilized The blood of the team members...
The 15 minutes of the intermission were fleeting, just like Carlos Babinton said, victory will only belong to the braver side!
...
Sao Paulo launched a fierce attack at the beginning of the second half, and this time, the River Plate responded with a mercury-like attack!
Attack against attack! It's not fun to watch the neutral fans.
But for the players of the two teams, it's not fun at all, it's too scary!
But at this time, when the ball was dead, the camera lens was aimed at Leonwell.
This is a close-up opportunity for him.
