Chapter 181: The situation of the championship in the Brazilian League

After a fierce gut-wrenching battle, the two collapsed on the bed exhausted.

The final result of the battle is naturally that Lu Feng is slightly inferior.

After all, in this world, there are only tired oxen, and there is no day when the plough is broken.

After the wind and rain, Anina pillowed on Lu Feng's chest, and drew circles on Lu Feng's chest boredly.

Lu Feng looked at Anina with a painful look on his face and asked softly.

"Say, what kind of relationship do we have?"

Anina tilted her head, her big beautiful eyes blinked, and after thinking for a long time, she gave such an answer.

"According to you Chinese, we are a ****."

"Poof." Lu Feng almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of blood.

After a moment of silence, Lu Feng found that this was indeed the best adjective to describe the relationship between the two. After all, whose agent and player actually slept together.

"Okay, I'll admit you have a point, but it's such a bad word, let's not use it."

"What's that for?" Annina stared at Lu Feng beautifully, her eyes seemed to contain ten thousand styles, coupled with the ** body at the moment, Lu Feng felt a little uncontrollable.

Lu Feng turned his face and asked softly.

"Why don't we get married?"

Anina snorted, sat up, and looked at Lu Feng playfully.

"Please, it's not like you're going to get married if you've been in bed. You and I are just normal physiological needs, don't think about it, obediently accompany your little girlfriend. ”

Lu Feng turned his head and glared at Anina.

"I'm serious."

"I'm serious, too." Anina chuckled. "We're just friends and agents and players, don't think about it, I don't have any wrong thoughts about you."

Lu Feng's face was gloomy.

"I'm such a handsome person, isn't it a little attractive to you?"

"Who says no?" Anina winked at Lu Feng. "I just don't want to disturb your life."

"Damn." Before Lu Feng could speak, Anina pressed Lu Feng under her and licked her lips.

"You're not at all less attractive to me."

"Isn't it, again?"

......

After São Paulo's victory over Corinthians, the current situation in the title race is very clear.

With 26 rounds of the league going on, at the moment, Corinthians are in first place with 19 wins, 2 draws, 5 losses and 60 points.

Santos is in second place with 18 wins, 4 draws, 3 losses and 58 points.

Sao Paulo are third with 17 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses and 54 points.

Fluminense, who are ranked fourth, only have 41 points, which is very far from the top three.

Therefore, all the media believe that this season's Brazilian league championship is undoubtedly contested among these three teams.

And the spinach agency also offered odds to win the championship of this season's Brazilian league.

Of the three teams, the Spinach Agency is undoubtedly the favourite for Corinthians, even after the defeat to São Paulo, the lead over Santos has shrunk to two points.

However, Corinthians' consistency against mid-to-lower teams is trusted by the media and the spinach establishment.

The few games that Corinthians have lost this season, apart from a less consistent start to the league season, have been against Sao Paulo and Santos.

And Corinthians' odds of 1 to 2.38 are also the highest among the three teams.

São Paulo's odds of 1 to 3.79 are not much worse than Corinthians.

Before the start of the season, São Paulo had better odds to win the tournament than Corinthians. However, after being beaten by Santos at the beginning of the season, Sao Paulo fell into a winless run for several rounds, resulting in a much lower drop in points.

Even after Bemi's excellent performance, Sao Paulo defeated Corinthians, but the gap of six points is still huge.

Moreover, in the next game, the three championship contenders have no chance to talk directly, so the six-point deficit is still difficult for Sao Paulo to catch up, after all, Corinthians are still quite solid against the middle and lower teams.

As for Santos, at the beginning of the season, no one was optimistic about Santos this season, thinking that it would be good for Santos to qualify for one continental competition at most.

However, no one expected that after Santos found a new recruit in China, with Silva in the original team, Santos turned out to be a dark horse, with a wave of consecutive wins at the beginning and directly led the standings.

Such a result is simply shocking, and the story of Santos's discovery of Lu Feng has made the entire Brazilian media talk about it. Many Brazilian clubs, after seeing Santos's move, also ordered to send their own scouts to the Asian region, hoping to find another talent like Lu Feng.

But with the transfer of Silva in the middle of the season, Santos ushered in a wave of winless and fell to third place in the standings.

Although the land breeze still played well, but after losing the core of the midfield Silva, Santos was slumped, and soon Curry replaced Silva with Sami to achieve good results, and Santos also won a wave of consecutive victories and successfully caught up with the points.

Even so, the media and forecasters are not too optimistic about Santos' championship prospects. After all, Santos' two attacking cores, Lu Feng and Sammy, are both young players. And young players have a common problem, which is inconsistency.

At the same time, Santos also faces a problem that the squad is weaker than Corinthians and Sao Paulo, and the defensive line is weaker than the other two teams.

Of the three title contenders, Santos conceded the most goals.

And the odds of 1 to 5.7 to win the championship show that everyone still does not approve of Santos' performance.

However, all media and institutional forecasts are not 100% accurate.

Even in the Premier League, there are civilian teams like Leicester City who counterattack to win the championship.

Therefore, until the last minute, no one knows who will win the league this season.

After all, in terms of points, all three teams have a chance to win the championship.

In the next few rounds, all three teams performed very similarly, and they all quickly and neatly settled their opponents and won all three points.

After being beaten by Sao Paulo, the form of the Corinthians security team did not seem to be affected in any way, and they still played steadily, and the score of 2-0 in several games proved the strength of Corinthians' solid backline.

There is a saying that the fans who win on offense win the championship on defense.

Compared with Corinthians' solidity, Santos's win was very thrilling, especially in the thirtieth round of the league, when he captained the league vice-president.

The opponent has brought a lot of threats to Santos due to a strong desire for relegation. And Santos' backline can't withstand such pressure at all.

If it weren't for Lu Feng's hat-trick savior in that game, maybe Santos' winning streak would have ended here.

And this game also made Santos's players and Curry criticized by the media.

That's what many media outlets say about Santos.

"Santos' team's offense, with the steady play of Lu Feng and Sammy, is world-class, but their defense is amateurish. Such a team also wants to compete for the league title? ”

"If Santos didn't have Land Breeze, it is estimated that he would only be able to wander in the middle of the league this season, and this terrible defense, I have only seen in the lower league."

"I have no doubt about Curry's coaching skills, after all, Curry has proven himself successfully in his career coaching other teams. However, Curry's defensive adjustment to Santos is undoubtedly a very failure. ”

"Even if Santos can achieve good results this season with the play of Land Wind, Curry should think about what Santos will do next season after losing Land Wind. A striker like Lu Feng is a rare and undesirable player in the entire world of football. ”

“......”

The overwhelming criticism in the media has also affected the psychology and performance of the Santos players to some extent.

In the 32nd round of the league, Santos, who was playing at home, almost missed three points.

If it weren't for a beautiful header from captain Anderson in stoppage time, the game might have ended in a draw.

Faced with such a situation, Curry couldn't sit still, and first blasted the media at the post-game press conference, accusing them of putting enormous pressure on the team with irresponsible reporting.

At the same time, Curry also urgently convened an intra-team meeting to relieve the pressure on the players.

After all, Santos has not won a championship for many years, and everyone is not familiar with the routine of competing for the championship. On the road to the championship, the team's superficial strength is only one aspect, and the most important thing is the mental journey.

In world football, there have been too many examples to prove this, many teams that performed well in the early stage, the reason why they fell behind in the final stage was because of the huge psychological pressure of the championship, which crushed the players, so that everyone could not play their usual strength.

"I've seen everyone's performance during this period of time, and to be honest, your performance in the last two games has not been good enough."

The first thing Curry said at the team meeting was to criticize everyone.

The crowd was silent, after all, Curry was telling the truth, and in the last few games, Santos's opponents have all been underdogs. However, judging by the scene and the result, Santos won very thrillingly.

It can be said that if it weren't for Lady Luck on Santos' side, it is estimated that Santos would have fallen behind in the championship team.

In fact, everyone is also very uncomfortable. In the game, everyone played in fear of losing goals because of the fear of making mistakes and conceding goals, and everyone was terrified. In such a situation, everyone behaves restrained, and it is strange that they can play well.

As for Lu Feng, Sammy and several veterans, they can still face the game with a normal heart, and the psychological pressure on other young people is very huge.

Curry glanced at the crowd, took everyone's expressions to heart, and shook his head.

This team is really too young, and it's not ready to compete for the championship at all.

However, at this point, can you not continue to compete for the championship?

Don't say whether Curry can bear this breath in his own heart, can the club's top management, fans, and players get by.

What's more, a few days ago, the club's senior management also talked to Curry, asking Curry to win this year's championship, and at the same time offered him a new contract extension, doubling his salary.

In such a situation, Curry himself is also under a lot of pressure.

What's more critical is that Santos has not won the championship for many years, so this team does not have that championship temperament.

The so-called champion temperament does not mean how strong a team is, but the mental outlook of a team in the game. No matter how passive the game was and what the score was on the field, the players believed they could win and were willing to keep fighting.

This kind of temperament is only possessed by a few people in the Santos team. And the best performance among them is undoubtedly Lu Feng. Lu Feng is eager to score goals and win no matter what the situation, and such a person is undoubtedly the most popular with every team's head coach.

If it weren't for the fact that Lu Feng had already confirmed his transfer to Leeds United, Curry would say that he would make Lu Feng a vice captain and infect the rest of the team with this spirit.

It's a pity that the top management of the club, because they coveted a little immediate profit, sold Lu Feng so early. If you stay for a few more years, Lu Feng's worth will definitely double.

However, Curry also admitted that according to the strength shown by Lu Feng at present, Lu Feng will not be able to keep it. Lu Feng has long attracted the attention of many European giants, but unfortunately, Leeds United has taken the lead and signed Lu Feng.

I have to say that Leeds United did make a good deal.

Curry suppressed some other thoughts in his mind and spoke slowly.

"Recently, there have been some criticisms in the media, thinking that we don't deserve to win this season's championship, that what we are doing now is all in vain, I don't know what you think about this matter?"

"Coach, don't pay attention to the nonsense of the unscrupulous media, we just play our own."

Sammy was the first to jump up and answer.

"It's just, I think this season, we have a good chance of winning the title, it's just two points away, as long as Corinthians lose one game, we're number one."

Lu Feng also hurriedly echoed.

However, except for the two of them, the other players did not speak, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.

Lu Feng touched his nose, didn't understand what was happening, and sat down stupidly.

Curry chuckled and continued to speak.

"Except for Lu Feng and Sammy, everyone else thinks that this season, we can't win the league title, right?"

Curry's words, like a braid, were hotly pumped in the faces of the Santos players.

As a professional, who doesn't want to win a championship? It's just that the recent performance of the team and the criticism of the media have made the players start to doubt themselves, can a team like ours really compete with Corinthians and Sao Paulo, you know, Santos has not won the league title for many years, can we do it?

After a moment of silence, Captain Anderson stood up and looked at Curry.

"Coach, any of us want to win the championship, but, coach, do we really have a chance to win the championship? This is a question that is not only on my mind, but also on the minds of all the Santos players. After all, the league title, we've been hungry for a long time. ”
