Chapter Twenty-Nine: Soaring!

With the win over Santos in their last game, the morale of the São Paulo youth team players has been boosted.

In recent years, due to financial problems, neither the senior nor the youth teams of São Paulo have achieved anything commendable. The club also slipped to the middle of the league at one point.

However, at the start of the Youth League season, Sao Paulo topped the table with a three-game winning record. With the likes of Gundo and Sintani, Mario and his disciples are confident that this season will make a difference.

The opponent to face in this game is Cruzeiro.

Cruzeiro has been worse off than São Paulo in recent times, and the youth team is currently at the bottom of the table.

In this game, Wu Qi's experience on the bench has greatly increased. He had moved all the props to their intended locations before Mondo gave the order. Wu Qi skillfully fiddled with the water dispenser and water bottle, and had already prepared the needs of the players in the game.

Because Wu Qi gave full play to the potential of senior logistics personnel, even Mario was amazed that Wu Qi was a good material for the general manager!

After preparing everything, Wu Qi returned to the water cooler and quietly waited for the game to start.

"Everyone must have confidence that we will unite and achieve this victory!" Captain Kyodo made the final agitation before the game.

Players from both sides formed in a circle in their own half, and after some shouting, they returned to their positions.

Wu Qi likes this scene very much, it is very shocking! He dreams of one day, as the leader of the first team, to lead everyone to play against their opponents in important competitions!

"Beep !!" It's game on!

Despite Cruzeiro's poor recent results, the boys are very energetic. Perhaps, they themselves are not willing to lag behind others all the time.

After the opening, Cruzeiro dominated the game and suppressed Sao Paulo first.

Wu Qi watched earnestly from the bench. In fact, he believes that Cruzeiro's level is not bad, especially the two wings, who are very active. The offensive end is okay, but why is the record so bad? Is it a problem with the defense?

Wu Qizheng was thinking about it, Cruzeiro's winger had forced to break through to the bottom line and crossed!

There was a scuffle in front of the goal, but fortunately, Songsang performed steadily and pushed the ball out. This attack did not pose much of a threat to São Paulo.

Soon, São Paulo switched from defense to attack.

Gundo is tall and speed is not his strength. Kyodo's real strength lies in his delicate footwork and good overall vision. Different from Kaka's sudden type, it belongs to the ancient typical forward waist. Therefore, in the tactics formulated by Mario, most of them are based on playing positional coordination.

Gundo did not make a breakthrough, but after observing the situation on the field, he stabilized the ball and brought the game into his familiar rhythm.

In fact, Wu Qi's judgment is still correct, and Cruzeiro's defense has obvious problems.

The centre-back is tall, but the disadvantage is that he is slow to turn and is prone to being beaten and plugged straight behind. The other centre-back has good speed but poor awareness. The defensive partnership between the two of them is a breakthrough for Sao Paulo.

Although he was in the middle of it, Kyo had already observed these details. Before the game, Mario laid out the attacking tactics against the opposing central defenders. It's just the beginning, and it still needs to be tested clearly.

Now, Cruzeiro's weakness has been fully exposed.

Gundo motioned for the winger to move slightly closer to the box and respond to his pass.

Soon, Sao Paulo had already pushed the ball to the edge of the opposition penalty area.

Kyodo patiently passed to each other with his own lower back, constantly looking for another opportunity to seal his throat with a sword.

Cruzeiro's players defended hard, trying to keep people in front of the box as much as possible. Unlike at the beginning, Cruzeiro now only has a defensive part.

However, with a passive defender, it was only a matter of time before the gates were lost.

Still, it is directed by Kyodo. He passed the ball to Rodriguez, who had successfully countered offside. Due to the speed of the ball, Rodriguez was already close to the baseline when he received the ball, and there was no space to shoot, so he passed the ball back to Gundo.

Gundo wanted to shoot, but he was able to spot Sintani, who was in a better position. He didn't think much of it, and he flicked a shot and passed it to Sintani.

Sintani faces the goalkeeper and shoots calmly!

1 to 0!

Eighty percent of the credit for this goal goes to Gundo's head. It is precisely because of his planning that the front court plays such a smooth attack.

"Beautiful!" Wu Qi also secretly applauded off the field.

Originally, Cruzeiro's idea was to grab a start and then defend it. It's best to get three points, if not, it's better to settle for the next best.

However, with Sao Paulo's goal, their calculations were completely shattered.

Kyodo is very good at tackling tough battles, and even if the middle lane is full of people, he can find gaps in them and use them. Coupled with the crushing of the tank striker Sintani, the two wingers cut inside or down from time to time.

The next game was completely one-sided!

The expressions in the eyes of Cruzeiro's players have completely changed, and negativity has spread through the team like a plague.

In team competitions, this is the most taboo situation. Having lost a few games in a row, everyone was numb to see that this game was going to end in the same way. No one stepped up to take on everything and lead everyone out of the encirclement.

The opponent's sluggish fighting spirit brought about the ruthless crushing of São Paulo!

Seven to zero!

The game is over.

Sintani scored a hat-trick and Gundo assisted a hat-trick and scored a goal.

After the game, just as Cruzeiro's players were frustrated and ready to go back to the dressing room, Gundo took the lead in shaking hands with their opponents one by one. This move makes people feel a sincere respect.

In Wu Qi's eyes, Jingduo is not only the team's eldest brother, but also a figure worthy of respect for his opponents. He finally understood why Gundo had told him so firmly at the time that Santos would never turn the tables around.

This is the courage and responsibility that a man should have!

Wu Qi's admiration for Kyodo is now overflowing. Whether it is the leader on the field or the person off the field, Jingduo is a role model for Wu Qi.

on the training ground.

'We played a lot of games last month, so I'll sum it up for you. Mario is explaining to the players.

It's Mario's habit to not just take stock after the game. At the end of each month, he will sort out a bunch of materials and take everyone to review the past period of competition. Constantly summing up experience, Shenhua's understanding of technology and tactics.

Although Wu Qi has never played any of these games, he has watched them all.

Along the way, he swept Cruzeiro and fought against Flamengo, with a narrow victory over Fluminense......

These competitions are extremely valuable to Wu Qi's experience growth.

After two months of league play, Sao Paulo is leading the way without defeat, and the morale of the players is getting higher and higher.

However, at this time, there was bad news for the youth team.

Gundo is leaving!
