In the tunnel of players, the players of Sao Paulo and Boca Juniors met in a narrow way. No one spoke, no kind greetings.

The two sides are mortal enemies, so don't be coy.

The Brazilians have never regarded the Uruguayans as mortal enemies, and although they were robbed of a world championship by Uruguay, the proud Brazilians never considered Uruguay their opponents; Despite the fact that the World Cup was snatched away by France in '98, the Brazilians did not regard France as a sworn enemy, and France did not qualify for it.

Only Argentina, a country that can threaten its dominance in South American football; This land of genius; This country with Maradona and the Brazilian national team led by Zico, who is known as "White Pele", is Brazil's eternal enemy.

Fortunately, since the 90s of the twentieth century, Brazilian football has dominated Argentine football in all aspects.

Matches at national team level, World Cup and Copa America; Matches at club level, the Copa Libertadores and the Common Market Cup, are dominated by Brazilian teams.

From 90 to 2003, Brazil reached 3 World Cup finals and won 2 titles, while Argentina only reached the final once; Copa America, since 89, Brazil has entered 5 finals and won 3 championships, Argentina has only entered two finals, but they have won both championships; Copa Libertadores, since 90, Brazilian teams have won 6 titles by Sao Paulo, Gremio, Cruzeiro, da Gama and Palmeiras, and Argentina has won 4 titles by Sarsfield, River Plate and Boca respectively.

And today, Sao Paulo wants to crush Boca Juniors' dream of 3 titles in 4 years and let the Copa Libertadores fall back into the pocket of the Brazilian team again!

As the players entered to shake hands, take pictures and guess coins, Boca Juniors coach Bianchi was whispering to his assistant coach Viglio.

"You'll have to keep an eye on Ricardo and Kaka later, and give me a detailed analysis at halftime."

Viglio nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll pay attention." After a pause, he asked suspiciously, "Is it necessary to be so attentive to them?" ”

"The media can belittle them, they can mock them. It would be foolish for us to despise them as well. Especially Ricardo," said Bianchi, "is the top scorer in the Confederations Cup at the age of 17, and he is better than Carlos [Tevez]. Is Brazil weaker than Argentina? Not necessarily. The 17-year-old Ricardo can be selected for the Brazilian team, while Carlos has yet to be selected for the Argentine national team. ”

Viglio shook his head and said, "Carlos is also very good. I don't think he's going to be worse than Ricardo, he's just missing a little bit of opportunity. ”

"The game will tell," Bianchi said gently to his old partner, "and you keep an eye on them, their movements, their technical moves, how often they defend, their attacking tendencies...... Keep an eye on me. ”

Viglio nodded, not speaking again.

Players from both sides are already standing in their positions, bouncing around, waiting for the game to begin.

The cameras at the scene swept around the stands, lingering on the faces of some important figures.

On the VIP bench, the president of Boca Juniors, Macari; São Paulo president Govía, as well as his assistants, Juventio, who replaced Leko as São Paulo's new sporting director; AC Milan giants Galliani and Leonardo, who are clearly here to make a final look at Kaka; one of the former Real Madrid Five Eagles from Real Madrid, Putragno; Rummenigge from Bayern Munich and chief scout Schwartzbeck; Scouts and transfer advisers from Inter Milan, Oriali and Da Baresi.

As the final of the highest competition in South American clubs, it deserves so much attention.

Somewhere in the stands, Ambrosio, wearing sunglasses and a trench coat, hides himself in the crowd; Little Lori Yang Jingyu, Yang Rui, and Yang Fan all wore tricolor flags on their faces, holding São Paulo's scarves in their hands, and jumping and singing with the fans around them.

The 80,000-capacity Stadium Molumbi was almost full today, and many Palmeiras, Corinthians and Santos fans also flocked to cheer on São Paulo today, because this match is not only about the honor of São Paulo, but also the honor of Brazilian football as a whole!

The red, white and black colour palette permeated every corner of the stadium, and fans beat gongs and drums, stomping their feet and clapping their hands, making the 40-year-old building tremble.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the referee blew his whistle and the game began!

Sao Paulo, who kicked off first, hit the ball to the back court and patiently organized. Although they need to win more than 2 goals in this game, they can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and they must play according to the rhythm they are good at!

Rojas lined up a 4231 formation for Sao Paulo. The difference was that Kaka was moved to the right and Ricardinho was put up in the midfield position. Alessandro was suspended for accumulating yellow cards, and the double midfielder used a combination of Ferreira and Gian; Teenager Julio. Santos and Lugano in central defence; Gustavo. Neri was injured and Simpricio was suspended for accumulating yellow cards, so youngsters Fabiano and Gabriel were used as left and right backs respectively.

It's not Sao Paulo's strongest line-up, but it's the best combination that can be taken at this stage.

Moreover, São Paulo fans believe that as long as the trident is on the field, it can bring São Paulo victory after victory!

Boca Juniors didn't shrink in defence, their front three started pressing up front, and the midfielders were quite tough defensively, and they didn't plan to let Sao Paulo go easily.

Just five minutes into the game, Cania brought down Ricardinho with a tackle and received a yellow card. It also foreshadows the intensity of this game.

In the 6th minute, Sao Paulo had the first chance. Ricardinho distributed the ball to the right side, Kaka took the ball and broke through unreasonably, got to the bottom line and crossed with his feet. Fabiano and Schiavi in the middle jumped at the same time, neither of them touching the ball, and the ball spun to the back post.

At this time, Ricardo showed the effect of his training this year, he forcefully put Burdisoca behind him, raised his leg to meet the ball and shot angrily! The football went over the crossbar, leaving the fans sighing.

However, the referee pointed to the corner kick area, which he believed was hit by the back of Corosa, who jumped up to block.

Ricardinho took a corner kick that he kicked too close to the goalkeeper and was confiscated by Abondancheri jumping up.

Abondanseri immediately threw the ball in his hand to launch a fast attack, Tevez stopped the ball, turned and took two steps, and immediately handed it to Shelotto, who ran to the side.
