With the referee's whistle, the crucial battle for the top spot finally kicked off. Santos picked the edge and ceded serve to Corinthians.

As soon as Corinthians came up, they attacked directly towards Santos' goal, and there was not even a tentative attack. There is already a lot of familiarity between the two teams, and there is no need for this at all. Judging by the opening game, it was more like a home for Corinthians than for Santos, as Corinthians played a little more aggressively.

In this game, Corinthians' formation is a standard 4231, and the configuration of two back midfielders proves that Corinthians are still a little afraid of Santos's offensive ability. On Santos's side, there is a 433 formation, with Pardu in the center, and Lu Feng and Gil on the left and right.

In this game, Lu Feng's main task is to be responsible for breaking through the wings and then handing the ball to Padu. Of course, Lu Feng can also choose to shoot inside, and the focus of Santos' attack in this game is actually Lu Feng's left wing.

Curry's idea is simple, which is to use the speed of the land breeze to attack the opponent's right fullback Figo. After all, Figoco is an attacking full-back, and defending is not his forte.

In the first few minutes of the game, Corinthians played more aggressively and dominated possession. Santos, on the contrary, was much more conservative, and the opening game was still defensive after all.

In the third minute, Corinthians midfielder Beto broke through and was brought down by Silva, who won a free-kick in front. Beto's free-kick was first snatched by Corinthians striker Allen, and after a lion flicked his head, the ball hit the crossbar and was confiscated by Gulidev.

In the 6th minute, after Santos broke the ball at the back, Lewells handed the ball to Sammy, who passed straight to Gil. Jill shifted the ball to Lu Feng with one kick. At this time, Corinthians full-back Figo, who was opposite the Land Breeze, was still in the Santos half and did not return.

Lu Feng did not hesitate after receiving the ball and rushed directly to the penalty area. At this time, a Corinthians defender appeared in front of Lu Feng and stopped Lu Feng.

As the saying goes, it's not that enemies don't get together, it's not someone else who stands in front of Lu Feng, it's Baientes who said that Lu Feng can't score. In this game, one of Berentes' tasks is to stare at Lu Feng, which is also in line with Berentes's intentions.

Of course, Lu Feng and Berentes have no big enmity, but originally Berentes received the attention of the French team Lyon, and it happened that Lu Feng was the most popular recently. In order to play in Europe and transfer to Lyon, Berentes had to go to war with Lu Feng to prove his strength in order to transfer as soon as possible.

For a professional player, the golden age is generally between 24-30 years old. During this time, the players' foot technique, physicality, and awareness on the pitch were at their peak.

Although the prime time of defenders is a little later than that of the average player, but now that Berentes is 25 years old, if he can't play in Europe, he will probably be abandoned in Brazil. Of course, Berentes does not want to see this happen, and to be able to move Lyon's attention is the result of Berentes' hard work last season, and it is impossible to miss it like this.

It is said that the scouts of Lyon will watch this match from the stands. Therefore, Baintes was naturally very excited, of course, it was impossible for Lu Feng to break through his defense zone so easily.

Lu Feng's expression remained unchanged when he saw Berentes. No matter what grievances Bayentes has with him, on the court, at this moment, there is only one kind of person left in front of Lu Feng's eyes, and that is the opponent he wants to pass.

Berentes, if you want to defend yourself, it depends on whether you are fast or not.

Thinking of this, Lu Feng took out his most common way of passing, dividing the ball, and with a trip to the ball, he was ready to run past Berentes.

Berentes laughed in his heart, he just thought about me. Although I am not as fast as you, I don't know how much more experience I have than you. Berentes saw Lu Feng playing the ball, and directly and neatly pulled Lu Feng's jersey.

Lu Feng was pulled by Berentes like this, and suddenly his center of gravity was unbalanced, he fell to the ground, and the referee's whistle sounded.

Berentes pointed at Lu Feng, shook his head, and turned to walk away. Foul tactics, simple but effective tactics. Here, there is still a long way to go from the Corinthians penalty area, and the free-kick will not be too threatening. Moreover, Berentes's action was not big, and the game time had just begun, and the referee could not show a yellow card at all, and it was good to be able to give a verbal warning.

Sure enough, the referee didn't even give a verbal warning, and only awarded Santos a free-kick in front. It's just that the angle and position of this free kick are not good, and the probability of scoring a direct goal is low.

Lu Feng got up from the ground, looked at Berentes not far away, and smiled slightly, Is it a foul tactic, can you stop me in this way, impossible. Don't forget, I had a great free-kick. Baentes, don't steal a handful of rice.

Santos' free-kick was whisked into the box by Silva and did not pose much of a threat, with Berentes clearing the ball from inside the box. Looks like he's in good shape.

In the 11th minute, Santos broke the deadlock on the field and took the lead, but this goal was completely a demonstration of the star's individual skills.

The goal, from Silva, was a long-range shot from 34 meters from goal, and the ball flew into the goal by grazing the woodwork, and Corinthians goalkeeper Andarosia couldn't reach it. 1-0, Santos leads Corinthians at home.

The Ituano Stadium was instantly transformed into a sea of jubilation, with Santos players excitedly surrounding Silva celebrating their goal. In the strong dialogue, being able to score first will be a lot easier for Santos.

On the sidelines, Curry clenched his fists excitedly after seeing Silva score, and when he scored first, the format of the game was even more favorable for Santos. At this time, it is necessary to remind the players to pay attention to the defense, and the Corinthians counterattack is coming soon.

Curry's words were passed to the Santos players on the court. And in the next few minutes, as Curry predicted, Corinthians launched wave after wave of offense. Santos was in danger at every turn, and if it weren't for Gulidev's good form today, Corinthians would have equalised.

In the 20th minute, Corinthians took the initiative to shrink after a burst of onslaught, after all, the player's physical strength is limited. Lu Feng dribbled the ball on the side, and in the face of Figo, who was not good at defense, Lu Feng just passed the opponent with a simple emergency stop and change of direction.

However, before Lu Feng had time to rejoice, Berentes appeared in front of Lu Feng.
