At half-time, the home team's dressing room was relaxed, the players were talking and laughing, and Rojas was also talking to assistant coach Milton. Cruz was laughing and laughing, and no one took the second half of the game to heart.

With only 45 minutes, can you concede 3 goals in a row? That's impossible to drop!

Towards the end of the break, Rojas made some arrangements unhurriedly and waved his hand to get the players on the field.

São Paulo's players were in high spirits and walked out of the tunnel with the song of "Paulista tricolor". Ricardo and Wanpeta walked side by side and chatted.

"I really envy you that you can be selected for the national team at such a young age. Well done, little brother! But in today's game, I think you can relax properly and not take it so seriously. Wanpeta joked.

Ricardo shrugged, "I don't know why, every time I play with you, I'm full of energy." ”

"You bastard," Wanpeta sneered, "and if you dare to score again, you'll have to eat after the game." ”

"No problem," said Ricardo briskly, "it's fair that the winner treats you." ”

"By the way," Ricardo asked again, "why didn't that Ella make the squad today?" ”

"Ella? You mean Vera," Wanpeta smiled, "it's normal that he's not in the squad." ”

"Yes." Ricardo nodded heavily.

On the field, the smile on Wanpeta's face quickly disappeared and became murderous, looking at this stance, if Ricardo dared to break through from his direction, he would not hesitate to take Licardo down with the toughest moves, not caring that it might cause Ricardo to be injured.

After the game resumed, Corinthians quickly made a substitution, with Júnior removing the out-of-form veteran Robert and replacing another 29-year-old international, Jameli.

Jamelli is a striker who has made 14 appearances for the Brazilian national team, can also play as a winger, is not tall, but has good technique at his feet and is very flexible.

He had just come on and had opened the scoring for Corinthians. After winning the ball on the wing, he shook head-on and broke past Fabiano. Rodriguez's defence, then suddenly cut inside and picked the ball into the box.

Gil jumped, slammed the ball with his chest and shot at goal, and the ball hit Sao Paulo youngster Julio. Santos's body bounced out, and Amaral followed up with a volley that sent the ball into the net.

After the goal, Amaral broke free from his team-mate's embrace and instead of celebrating, he scurried to the net to pick up the ball and run back to the centre circle.

The goal gave Corinthians renewed hope, while the São Paulo fans in the stands at the Molumbi Stadium tried to demoralize them with boos and curses.

However, Corinthians have a bit of a feeling that the more they kick the ball is getting smoother. Although Júnior is a defender and has a conservative coaching style, even more conservative than Osvaldo, he can also give up his life at this time. He used up his second substitution and used forward Carlos Brown. Renato replaces Fabricio at the back. In the 62nd minute, Renato took advantage of his speed to eat Gian, broke through to the edge of the Sao Paulo penalty area and volleyed hard. Cheney made a flying save, but was still a beat slower, and the ball grazed the underside of the crossbar and into the net.

The commentator exclaimed: "Now the score on the field has become 3:1, Sao Paulo is in danger!" Corinthians only need one more goal to make the aggregate score 4-4 and get a penalty for each other! ”

'Sao Paulo has to make adjustments quickly, they played too loosely and gave them the opportunity to get off the edge of the box and if it goes on like this, they will be punished!'

Rojas frowned slightly on the sidelines. He didn't yell at his players, and while it was true that the players were slack, the bigger reason was that his tactical set-up was targeted.

He also quickly made a substitution, replacing Elton with Kaka and pushing Rico up front; Leonardo was replaced with loaned midfielder Patrick Ferreira to strengthen the defensive strength in the middle.

In this way, Sao Paulo's formation became 4312, with three midfielders and one forward midfielder.

Even in moments like this, he didn't add more defenders, and the message was already clear to the players on the field: keep attacking! Fight Corinthians!

Kaka's appearance brought positive changes to Sao Paulo.

In the 71st minute, Ricardo received Kaka's through ball in the penalty area and hit the goal directly, and the ball was slightly off the post. He crossed his hands on his hips and gasped heavily.

If it had been last season, he would have almost had to go out of the game at this point.

But now his fitness has also improved a lot, and he can usually play 80 to 85 minutes, and it is no problem to barely finish the game.

And he also got enough rest in the last game because of the suspension, and now he is not to the point where he can't play.

He gave Kaka a thumbs up and signaled that the ball was well passed.

We have to hurry up and score goals to keep Corinthians' arrogance down. As he ran back, Ricardo pondered.

The opportunity was not long in coming. Corinthians pressed the attack aggressively, the momentum of the attack was insane, and the defense was naturally empty.

After a half-time break in Sao Paulo, Ricardinho tried to play a counter-attack for Ricardo, but was intercepted by Wanpeta in the middle.

Wanpeta adjusted a step, and when he looked up to find someone, he suddenly heard the exclamation of his teammates. Before he could react, a leg came out from behind him and pulled the ball away. It's Ricardo!

Wanpeta immediately squeezed Ricardo with his body and tried to snatch the ball back, but Ricardo didn't fight him at all and stabbed the ball to Kaka first. Kaka dribbled the ball in high speed and on the edge of the box it was deftly distributed to Rico, who didn't waste the opportunity and pulled one back for Sao Paulo with a powerful shot.

The aggregate score became 5:3, and São Paulo opened the score gap again!

The goal sent chills down the hearts of the Corinthians players, and their efforts for most of the half were almost rendered useless by this goal.

And that's not all. In the 84th minute, Kaka and Ricardo collided with the wall and burst into the box with a low shot that completely destroyed Corinthians' hopes.

Although Corinthians showed tenacity in this match, and the skill and tactics that did not lose to São Paulo, the state champion was decided!

When the referee blew the whistle three times to announce the end of the game, the players on the bench and the team staff rushed into the stadium with their arms raised in excitement to celebrate their 21st São Paulo State Championship title.

After throwing his shirt and pants to the fans, Ricardo walked around the pitch wearing only a pair of pants, enjoying his first title in Sao Paulo.

He looked at Kaka, who nodded at him, a smile in his eyes.

I said I wanted you to win one or two championships with me before leaving.

Yes, now I can leave the team with peace of mind. Thank you.
