While most of the Sao Paulo players were not yet in the game, Lu Feng and Gil took turns to attack Leonardo's defense. After the two got the ball, they didn't go straight to the goal, they went straight to Leonardo.

In the opening ten minutes, Santos was attacking most of the time because of the absence of the Sao Paulo players. And Santos's attack was basically handed over to Lu Feng and Gil, and Lu Feng and Gil only went towards Leonardo.

Although Leonardo successfully defended Lu Feng and Gil every time, every time he defended, Leonardo had to spend countless physical strength. Today's game, although it was only played for less than ten minutes, Leonardo was already panting, and he was even more tired than he usually played half the game.

Collins, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask with concern when he saw the captain's tired appearance.

"Captain, are you alright, do you need my help?"

Leonardo looked at Collins' concerned gaze and sighed in his heart that he was still old, and even his teammates thought he was old. If only a few years ago, no one would have said anything to help, so it's nice to be young. Leonardo's eyes looked at Lu Feng and Jill.

How young they are, and how strong they are. When I was their age, I had a lot of physical strength, and I had no problem playing the whole game, and even in the final moments of the game, I still had the physical strength to participate in the attack. It's just that now, I seem to be really old, and I'm thinking about retiring at the end of the season.

Anyway, the contract expires this year, although the team is still willing to renew the contract with itself. It's just that, according to the current state, he will slowly become a substitute. Forget it, let's give young people some chances. My physical condition is indeed no longer suitable for continuing to participate in such high-intensity competitions.

Lu Feng will never know, because his and Gil's alternating impact made Sao Paulo's old captain Leonardo have the idea of retiring. If Lu Feng knew, it was estimated that he would feel a little guilty. But even if Lu Feng knew, he still had to continue to target Leonardo. Because, this is the task assigned by the coach to help the team win.

Off the court, Curry kept an eye on Leonardo's situation, and when he saw Leonardo bending over and looking tired after clearing the siege again, Curry smiled.

"It seems that our targeted tactics have succeeded, and he can't resist it."

When Pedro saw Leonardo's appearance, he couldn't help but sigh a little.

"The captain of Brazil, the captain of Sao Paulo, the former world's No. 1 central defender, is still old after all, and the years are not forgiving."

"Haha." Curry patted Pedro on the shoulder. "Leonardo immediately couldn't stand it, so let's get the players to fire up and see if our friend Costa, who doesn't like substitutions, will replace him."

"I'm afraid it's a little hard." Pedro shook his head. "Leonardo's status in Sao Paulo should be higher than Costa's, he doesn't dare to replace the captain rashly."

"Then he's just waiting to lose." Curry shook his head, and he couldn't figure out why a head coach could tolerate having a player in the locker room who had more say than himself. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to accept it anyway.

Curry waved his hand and motioned for the players to continue pressing and keep the offensive pressure going.

..

As the game wore on, Sao Paulo's players gradually got into the game and began to organise attacks. Santos didn't dare to press the attack so recklessly, and Leonardo also got some breathing time.

Lu Feng looked at Leonardo not far away, and felt a little regretful in his heart, a little more time, he could completely defeat the other party. It's a pity that now, under the increasing defensive pressure of the team, the midfielder does not support himself enough, otherwise, the goal will not be far away.

The core of Sao Paulo's offense is Bemi, and in this game, Curry specially equipped Bemi with a "bodyguard" Valazula, just to limit Bemi's offensive organization. Bemi, who discovered this, taught the ball more to his teammates, allowing them to organize the attack and attract the attention of the Santos defenders himself.

In the 14th minute, Bemi used his excellent individual skills to get past Valrazula with a beautiful feint, and found Ninho, who was wandering around the Santos back line, with a precise through ball.

After receiving the ball, Niño sprinted quickly, shook off Alex on the side with his speed, and went straight into the penalty area.

Thanks to Gulidev's quick reaction and timely attack, he blocked a shot from Ninho with his body to avoid Santos' goal.

This attack of São Paulo scared everyone in Santos into a cold sweat. If Gulidev's reaction had been slow for a second and he hadn't made a timely attack, Ninho, who had a one-on-one chance, might have broken through Santos' goal.

In the case of being closely defended by Valazzula, Bemi can still show his excellent organizational skills, and his strength is really strong.

In the 16th minute, Vargas's shot at the top of the arc was saved by Gulidev, and Anderson got the ball and made a long pass to Lu Feng, who retreated to the midfield to receive the ball.

Sao Paulo clearly learned their lesson, and when Vargas got in, Cordovar didn't cut forward, but stayed behind to defend.

No, after Lu Feng received the ball, Kodovar posted it as soon as possible.

In the face of opponents who are not as fast as themselves, how to solve them, play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses!

Lu Feng directly walked the ball forward, and then accelerated towards the football.

Kodovar's speed is not slow, but compared to the land breeze, it is much worse. He could only watch as Lu Feng turned into a wind and ran past him, but he couldn't catch up.

After passing Códovar, Lu Feng controlled the ball at his feet, and at the edge of the penalty area, found the opponent who had played countless times in this game, Leonardo.

Seeing Lu Feng coming back to him with the ball, Leonardo's heart was full of helplessness. Lu Feng and Jill have faced off against him several times, and he can't guess Santos's intentions. Use your stamina and speed to break down your own defence and score goals.

When Leonardo felt that he was about to be overwhelmed, fortunately, the team's attack recovered and gave him some time to recover his strength. I almost got passed several times, and my teammates wanted to come up and help me. But the pride of being the captain made Leonar refuse the kindness of his teammates many times, and this time, he was able to defend his opponent.

Compared with the previous times when Lu Feng faced off with Leonardo, this time Lu Feng's situation was much more favorable. The first few times were in the penalty area, and Lu Feng couldn't give full play to the advantage of his speed, but this time, at the front of the big penalty area, there was a lot of space for Lu Feng to play his speed.

Moreover, the opposing goalkeeper Rolitz seems to be very confident in Leonardo, standing relatively far behind, which is a good opportunity for Lu Feng.
