Brazil and Argentina are feuding in football. A large part of Pele's success with a goal was due to the fact that he made his international debut and scored his first goal against Argentina.

In the distant fossil age, there was another powerhouse in South America, Uruguay. Uruguay won the 1950 World Cup by beating Brazil at the Maracanã Stadium, Brazil's home stadium.

It can be said that in those days, Uruguay was one of the most hated by Brazilians.

But in the past three or four decades, South American football has gradually become a two-power battle pattern.

As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers, and both countries are talented and have achieved good results in the international arena, so the feud between Brazil and Argentina has become entangled and difficult to write.

In the Copa Libertadores, in recent years, Brazil and Argentina have mostly competed for hegemony.

Although there are two Colombian teams in the final four, it is still Argentina and Brazil that will meet in the final.

Since the inception of the Copa Libertadores in 1960, Independiente Argentina has won seven titles.

Uruguay's Peñarol have won five times, although their last win was in 1987.

Boca Juniors have won the title 4 times. Then Argentina's Estudiantes de La Plata won the championship three times. Then Sao Paulo, Santos, River Plate Argentina, Gremio Brazil, Cruzeiro and Internacional Brazil all won twice.

It can be seen that the teams of Argentina and Brazil have won almost half of the Copa Libertadores.

In the course of each encounter, the hostilities between the two sides increased dramatically every day.

This collision was no exception, and when Ricardo and others were in France, the media on both sides began to hype up the match and spit on each other. And the coaches, players and celebrities of both sides also made their own comments, belittling or provoking opponents to cheer up their own side.

After the first leg, the Brazilian media collectively lost their voices, and the Argentine media were on their toes.

In the past two days, the Brazilian media have been full of mourning, and even the newspaper "Folha de São Paulo" has appeared to be less confident: "...... The return of the likes of Ricardo and Fabiano is a major positive for Sao Paulo, but it is doubtful how much fitness and form they will be able to maintain after a tight game on June 29. Of course, under the leadership of Ricardo and others, Sao Paulo should not lose, and even it will not be difficult to win. But if you want to win by 2 or even 3 goals, it's too difficult......"

Reims Sport was even more pessimistic: "Sao Paulo, who conceded two goals, is back at home to fight for glory. Don't expect them to equalise or even come back, as long as they can play the style of Brazilian football and play a good game. ”

I have always liked Black São Paulo and Black Licardo's "Scoreboard". After Jesús's column, he finally stopped "black for black's sake" and now his argument was relatively objective: "The return of Ricardo, Ricardinho and others is decisive for São Paulo. In the first leg, Sao Paulo played like headless flies and could not organise an effective attack, and in the second leg they believe they can play differently. It may be tough to win by more than two goals, but it's not impossible, and Fabiano, Kaka and Ricardo all have the ability to influence the outcome of the game on their own. But beware, Boca Juniors also have such players in their squad, with Delgado and Tevez by no means opponents to be underestimated, and Sao Paulo will have to watch out. ”

At this time, the sky was drizzling, and the reporters who were busy setting up camera equipment and taking pictures of the warm-up players next to the field also hurriedly opened umbrellas, protected the equipment, and talked loudly to each other to pass the time.

Hergas, a reporter for the Argentine newspaper Independent, greeted his Brazilian counterpart, Recihai of Reims Sport: "What do you think the outcome of this match will be?" ”

Recihai looked at him and said with a blank face: "São Paulo can win." ”

"Yes," Hergas smiled nonchalantly, "maybe, but the champion is definitely ours." ”

"Not necessarily, did you know," the smile on Recihai's face flashed, "the championship trophy is here now?" In Molumbi. And, we're going to keep this trophy. ”

Hergas smiled mockingly: "You have so much faith in St. Paul? Two goals down, do you believe they can come back? ”

'I have confidence in Ricardo, he's a miracle player.

"Tevez too. I always listen to your Brazilian media boasting about how good Kaka is and how good Ricardo is. I don't know how Ricardo is, at least Kaka's performance in the last game was very average, and Ricardo, who is the same name as him, is probably not very good. Hergas shook his head.

Rexihai sneered: "Then you can watch with wide eyes." ”

Hergars laughed, "This trophy will definitely be brought back to the candy box." I heard that Boca is already preparing to hold a celebration ceremony in the candy box in 3 days. ”

"I think it's better for them to cancel the plan as soon as possible, so as not to get slapped in the face," Recihai said coldly, "and everyone who looks down on Ricardo has been slapped in the face, and you Argentines are no exception." ”

At this time, the players have warmed up and returned to the locker room one after another, and the managers of both sides will make the final arrangements.

In the home team's dressing room, Rojas slowly looked around the crowd, and every player he looked at held his head up.

Rojas gave Ricardo one last deep look, withdrew his gaze, and exclaimed, "I'm so proud of you." Really, I'm proud. In this highest competition of South American clubs, you have come to the end and you have shown the world that we in São Paulo are the best club in Brazil! ”

"Right now, we're just half a step away from the trophy. We're going to take home a trophy to the club's Hall of Honour and add a glorious piece to your resume. If you don't cross over, you're just runners-up, and history won't remember runners-up. ”

"Tell me, are you going to be the champion or the runner-up!"

"Champion!" "Champion!" "Champion!" The São Paulo players shouted in unison, one by one hoarse, their faces hideous, and the bruises on their foreheads burst out.

"Let's forget about the first leg. Now, I want you to go straight to the field and me up! Rojas, who had always been urbane, burst into foul language.

The São Paulo players were also excited, shouting together: "you! ”

With a wave of Rojas's hand, the players all stood up, burning their fighting spirit, and rushed towards the field. At this moment, they forgot that they were burdened with the weight of two balls, forgot the loss of the first leg, and they had only one thought in their hearts: to take the opponent down!
