"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!2:2!Through a small mistake by Pereira, who is new to the game at River Plate, Neymar scored this goal with his super individual ability!!From steals to connecting four people, to feints to trick the goalkeeper and send the ball into the corner! When we all thought that Santos might not be able to turn over, Neymar stepped up and stood up when the team needed him the most! He used this goal to tell others, what is a yellow card? What is a backward position? As long as he's still on the pitch, he can change everything! It's not just the angels on this pitch, it's also Neymar! It's a really crucial goal, and the goddess of victory still favors Santos!"

The voice of the on-site commentary was extremely sensational, and the excitement that he had nowhere to put before was finally vented at this moment, just like drinking ice water on dog days, it was not cool, especially Neymar's goal, from a visual point of view, it was not worse than Rafael's two goals, and even worse than a volley.

The good show of running a long distance and connecting several people, no matter how many times you watch it, it makes people's blood boil.

If you can, the live commentary will simply want to bring its own firecracker sound effects to show joy.

The Pacaembo Stadium in São Paulo, which is always booing, finally ushered in a big explosion, and the Santos fans cheered loudly for the team, calling Neymar's name loudly, and the frustration that they had never gone away before was swept away at this moment.

"2:2! In this battle to decide the Copa Libertadores, Neymar and Rafael are both in surprisingly good form! After Rafael scored twice, Neymar also scored his second goal of the game to equalize the score for the team. Sure enough, there is competition to be pressure, and the four goals on the scene are all from two rising stars, although there are winners in this game, there are no losers!" The neutral commentators were fascinated and very satisfied with how exciting the game was.

However, the River Plate players standing on the pitch could not be as agitated as them, and their mood was a little solemn, and they couldn't help but set their eyes on Rafael standing in the middle of the pitch.

The little angel in River Plate was talking to Pereira, his expression was the same as usual, and he owed no hope to Neymar, who was celebrating passionately not far from him, and after whispering to his teammates, he patted the other party's shoulder, and then pointed to the tee point, signaling his friends to prepare for the kick-off.

Although he didn't go to boost the morale of his teammates, he just saw him standing there calmly, and the hearts of the River Plate players couldn't help but calm down.

Unconsciously, Rafael's rest of River Plate, just like the U20 national youth team during the South Youth Championship, replaced the little donkey who had left and was about to retire, and became the team's new anchor.

It has nothing to do with age, nothing to do with seniority.

"Rafael seemed to be indifferent to Santos' equaliser, and even the rest of the players in River Plate were back to normal, and no one could tell that he would be the youngest on the pitch, but then again, seeing my angel so calm, even I wasn't so nervous. Carroll was still lamenting, "If Neymar had just been sent off with a red card, there would have been no goal...... "It seems that the home team's commentators have similar thoughts.

Fans: Your angel, shameless, complain!

Rafael really doesn't pay attention to Neymar, whoever scores the goal is the opponent, the game is not over yet, and any kind of emotion seems superfluous.

He beckoned to his teammates before he took his position, and he was on the lookout for Santos' fast break that was waiting for him.

Sure enough, Santos, who had restarted the game, was ready to take advantage of the situation to chase after him.

The combination of Ganso, Elano, and Neymar is dazzling and pleasing to the eye.

On the pitch, Santos simply pressed River Plate, and their statistics such as possession and passes had the upper hand.

But football isn't just about statistics. Despite Santos' pretty stats, they didn't really threaten River Plate's goal. Especially...... After the transposition of the river bed.

Rafael no longer roams up front, but returns to his own midfield, similar to a central midfielder, with Pereira and Lamela on the wings, and he becomes the one who fills in the gaps, and once someone is absent in attack, he fills the vacancy, so that Santos can no longer drive as long as he did just now.

Because he was at the back of the line, Elano didn't follow him as much as he used to, and Raphael managed to act as a qualified spoiler by going from being defended to being defender thanks to his speed and stamina.

In the 26th minute of the second half, Santos made a long pass from the backfield, Neymar stopped the ball on the left side and was kicked out of the sideline by Pereira, Neymar picked up the ball and quickly threw it out of bounds, he chose to throw it back, Leao received the ball, the veteran looked around, looked at the middle, and sent a straight line with his right foot to stuff the ball to Neymar.

His eyes managed to deceive River Plate, but also deceived his teammates, Neymar did not receive the ball, but was taken by Rafael, who did not know when.

Rafael offloaded the ball with his left foot, but instead of unloading it at his feet, he bounced forward, and then, when Neymar came to counter-attack, a powerful long ball crossed the half court and landed precisely at the feet of Lamela.

Lamela broke through with the ball, and under the joint defense of Dulvar and Danilo, the shot from 13 meters away from the goal on the left side was missed, shocking Santos in a cold sweat.

Carroll lamented it for a moment and continued to praise Rafael: "Now River Plate is starting to play defensive counterattacks, don't look at Rafael's position behind, River Plate's counterattack efficiency is better, and the angels who are unmarked are starting to shine in the position of midfield commander...... His pinpoint long ball kept Santos off guard. ”

"Precision guidance for the angel long pass...... I have to say that he reminds me of Paul Scholes, and the long ball of Manchester United's number 22 is like that, being able to judge the situation on the pitch quickly, and then quickly get out of the ball and quickly go straight to the right player's position...... Oh, maybe the only difference is that Angel is a striker and Paul is a full-time midfielder. The British commentator couldn't help but complain, he really wanted to know, how can a striker have such a 6 long passing technique, it is simply toxic.

The positive effects of the goal just now have not dissipated, and Santos is not in a hurry because of a few blocked attacks.

Ganso managed to stabilize the team's loose formation due to its eagerness to attack.

"Santos is not impetuous, the confident Santos who was ready to go before the opening is back. After all, River Plate's strength should not be underestimated, if you continue to attack, it is easy to be caught by the opponent, now let the rhythm of the game stabilize, and complete the attack in an orderly manner one at a time, Santos has a chance to turn the tables. The on-site commentator agreed with Ganso's strategy, and by the way, calmed the emotions of the fans.

There are 20 minutes left, and the more you want to succeed, the more you can't rush, because the more you rush, the easier it is to make mistakes.

1 minute later, the ball again along the side of the long pass to the front of Neymar's feet, under the double defense of Pereira and Roman, Neymar a feint to take the inside, and then cross to the middle, but he did not expect Ze Eduardo did not understand his intention to step forward, the ball hit the foot of Maidana, Medana took advantage of the situation to kick the ball forward.

Pavoni grabbed the ball and saw that Santos was in good formation, and passed the ball back, but after a few passes, the ball was picked up by Ganso in the middle.

Raphael, who returned to the middle, pressed forward first.

Ganso raised his head slightly, swept his gaze in front of him, and then stared into Raphael's eyes.

Rafe didn't worry too much, he didn't move when the opponent's upper body shook, but the moment the opponent's right leg moved, he instantly kicked out.

"1vs1 between Rafael and Ganso?Ganso was ready to break through, Rafael broke the ball!Oh no, he didn't break the ball, he ruined Ganso's pass!Ganso looked like he was ready to play Danilo forward on the right, but the ball hit Rafael's outstretched leg and bounced off. ”

Ganso was going to do a dribble break and then pass the ball, but who knew that Rafael seemed to read his mind and ignored his feints, and this insight frightened him.

Although Rafael didn't pay much attention to the opponent before and after the game, the head coach still listened carefully when he told him about the characteristics of each player, especially Ganso, the coach asked to focus on the players to be targeted.

After observing most of the game, he also found that the opponent was similar to what the coach said, the pass was a must, very sudden and threatening, but the dribbling speed and breakthrough were slightly worse, so when Rafael defended the opponent, he directly crossed out the breakthrough option, but thought about who the opponent wanted to pass to. Because Ganso's passing route is more conventional, which is not particularly difficult for Rafael to guess, it is so decisive to play the ball.

Most importantly, Rafael is confident that even if he guesses wrong and Ganso suddenly decides to dribble and break through, he will be able to chase him back.

The ball was picked up by Acevedo on the left, who took the ball and passed it straight forward, landing at the feet of Rafael, who accelerated forward after stretching his legs.

Rafael accelerated with the ball to shake off the tail behind him and ran straight through the center circle, Santos sounded the siren, and Rafael was quickly targeted by them.

But Rafael was unhurried and skillfully protected the ball at his feet, and then, with a dribbling feint, Adriano who was defending him from the right side took an instant step forward, Rafael quickly played the ball, and the boccia ball rolled over the gap under his crotch and rolled to the feet of Ferrari, who was cutting forward on the left.

The second captain of River Plate ran two steps with the ball, and in the face of Edu's close block, Ferrari on the left side of the forbidden area took a high ball to the back point, and when the Santos defense was attracted most of the attention by Rafael and Ferrari, Pavoni who quietly rushed forward directly jumped to the top -

"Pavoni! Opportunity! Oh no——!" Carroll experienced a double day of joy and sorrow in an instant, Pavoni, who rushed high, was pulled by Dulvall, who could not defend hard, and Pavoni, who needed to balance in mid-air, moved slightly, and the ball that he was holding on to was displaced.

Pavoni, who fell to the ground, ignored his dizzy head, watched the ball deflect off the crossbar, angrily grabbed a handful of grass and threw it at Durvar.

The mood of Santos fans is like getting on the bus, just falling to the bottom, and immediately turning around, the referee blew the whistle, and the mood dropped to the abyss.

Yellow card + direct free kick.

"Whew...... It's dangerous!" the home fan exhaled.

"Shhhh!!!!h

Pavoni was very angry, jumped up and went to the referee to theorize, he was pulled down near the penalty zone, a must-score was destroyed, and only a free kick was given?

Amarilla thinks that the place where Pavoni was pulled down is still half a body away from the forbidden zone, and it is not a foul in the forbidden zone that can be forced by rolling in, so he insists on his opinion and keeps Pavoni sane, otherwise he doesn't mind letting him go back to the locker room to calm down.

'There was an argument on the pitch and the River Plate players insisted it was a penalty, but the referee clearly didn't think so. The home whistle for this game was so obvious. Carol was furious.

Rafael also protested twice to the referee, and after being driven away like a fly, he didn't bother to continue the theory, and took away the angry teammates, it seems that no matter which level the referee is, in order to maintain his prestige, he will not easily change the judgment, if he gets a card, it will be worth the loss.

Lamela, as the team's No. 1 penalty taker, did not go to the referee, but observed the distance of the free kick.

The referee gave a free kick of 23 meters in front of the goal, and it was in front of the goal.

This is about the position he usually practices all the time, and the success rate is about 70%, but ...... It's not the usual training, it's the Copa Libertadores final, it's the battle of the champions.

Lamela found herself hesitant.

How important is this ball? That's the turning point for morale.

Once inside, victory is really within reach.

His gaze turned to the side, and his pupils were filled with the figure of another person, and he walked over and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Hey, Raphael......"
