"The game is over!! After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Boca Juniors defeated Palmeiras 2-1 in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final, and achieved a well-deserved victory, especially for the Boca players who visited Brazil. It not only gave Boca Juniors an advantage in the final of the home-and-away system, but also strengthened the Boca people's belief in winning! ”

"From the opening deficit to the equalizer, and then to the overtake, in the face of the monstrous home pressure at Palmeiras Park, the Boca people used their own hard work and blood to pick out the invincible opponent, and it is foreseeable that in the second leg of the encounter, Boca has mastered the great advantage! They are just one step away from reaching the top of South America! ”

"Of course, it cannot be denied that Palmeiras still have the potential to come back from defeat to victory, they are strong enough to create an incredible legend, and if Boca can beat Palmeiras on the road, why can't Palmeiras beat Boca Juniors on the road?"

"I believe that in a week's meeting, the two teams will fight fiercely again, and Palmeiras, who have no way out at that time, will inevitably fight against the odds to defend their glory as the overlord of the Brazilian league! And Boca Juniors will definitely not let the trophy in their hands fall on the side again, so let's wait and see!! ”

The moment the whistle blew, the entire Palmeiras Park stadium was covered in Boca's blue and yellow flag, and the Argentines began to celebrate their victory. When the Boca players who won the match stood shoulder to shoulder to thank the fans who had always supported them, one of the most contributors to Boca's victory, Santi was once again embraced.

Seeing the name of Santhiago resounding at the Palmeiras Park Stadium, Santi himself was also excited beyond words, and with the kindness of his teammates, he became the undisputed protagonist at this time. Enjoying the support of Boca fans again, Santhiago is indeed in mixed feelings, he knows that most of the Boca fans who came to watch this match today have been conquered by himself, and the next thing to do is to make persistent efforts to win back the trust of all Boca fans.

As Riquelme said, this is the place where Santi's football sails, and he should not leave with a heavy stigma, since there are things that cannot be explained, then use football to win everything back.

Seeing the hateful Argentines flex their muscles on their home turf, thousands of Palmeiras fans were furious, but they finally restrained their emotions and left the stadium helplessly after being evacuated by the staff.

For this group of football-loving Brazilians, Palmeiras and Boca are only competing at the moment, far from reaching the point of mortal enemies, plus the fans of Palmeiras lost again in this game, even if they lose on the pitch, then let the honor be brought back from the pitch! The tenacious Brazilian, the determined Palmeiras have not conceded defeat at the moment!

The first leg of the final ended with Boca's victory, and the rest of the day went back to their training pitches to prepare for the second leg.

Over the course of a week, Boca will be training on Palmeiras' style of play under the tutelage of coach Ischea, with a focus on how to limit Barbosa.

In this regard, in addition to the coaching staff who are constantly studying the video of the game, there is no doubt that San Tiago, who is directly opposite Barbosa, is the most vocal, and looking at his teammates who are looking at him in the tactical room, San Tiago stood up with a slight smile and no stage fright, and said his thoughts fluently.

Through the last match, Santi has observed that as the heart of Palmeiras' attack, one of Barbosa's tricks is to calmly receive the ball between the defence and pass the lethal penetrating ball, which is a must for a positional player, to pass a lethal penetrating ball, but not every player can do as well as Balbosa, especially at this age.

In terms of passing skills alone, although Santhiago is proud, he also knows that he and Barbosa are only equal in terms of passing skills.

However, the reason why Barbosa failed to control the trend of the game all the time and eventually lost the game was of course due to the fact that Boca had two midfielders who were not inferior to him, and in large part because Barbosa was much worse than San Tiago in handling the ball and individual breakthroughs.

Coupled with Palmeiras' focus on attacking from the wings, the Palmeiras boss most of the time wants Barbosa to start from the rib space, which can form enough concealment on the one hand, and better connect the midfield and the wing on the other hand. It is conceivable that in such a situation, in fact, Barbosa's activity space is relatively fixed, and when it comes to his technical disadvantage in personal breakthroughs, everything that follows is easy to handle.

Hearing Santo Tiago's analysis, coach Ischea's eyes lit up, and he was pleased to find that Santo Tiago thought of beyond his best estimate, Santi not only thought of countermeasures from the technical point of view of the player, but also put his eyes on the tactical level considered by the coach, this kind of vision that is not limited to a corner is absolutely commendable!

On the pitch, Saint-Tiago will not only stay in the midfield to organize, but will also use off-ball running to participate in the attack, when his teammates cut inside, he will enter the attack as a right winger, often taking the initiative for his teammates, rather than picking himself out of the attack after passing the ball, and shaking a fan to watch the big play, which sounds simple but is actually difficult for many top midfielders to do.

Even Ischea smells something unusual in the running of Santiago's weekday games, that is, in Santiago's philosophy, it seems that every key area of the field must be occupied.

Thinking of this, Ischea looked at Saint-Tiago in even more amazement, but there was a hint of regret in this exclamation.

Before the first match against Palmeiras, Ischea, who resisted the pressure and decided to let Santi start again, had a more heart-to-heart conversation with Bianchi, and it was this conversation that made Ischea fully understand the path that Santhiago had decided for his future, and made him make the final decision for his decision.

Ischea laments that such a player with the potential to become the world's top midfielder is destined to leave Boca again, and that departure is likely to happen in the near future.

"Located in the Boca district of Buenos Aires, Teasbox Stadium is a football stadium dedicated to football matches and one of the most talked about meccas in South American football, where countless legends and icons have been born and countless champions have been born over the past 100 years! Today, the Candy Box Stadium is destined to become the place of the world's attention again, because today there will be a team to reach the pinnacle of South American football! “

"Today's weather is 23 degrees Celsius, wind speed 49 m/s, humidity 35%, although the weather is a little gloomy, but after all, it is not as heavy as people predicted! Without the influence of the weather, I believe that the two top clubs in South America will give us a visual feast and a wonderful game! Under the banner of FIFA fair play, players from both sides walked into the field! “

"It's a standard 4-4-2 formation in this game, and it's the same formation that Boca people have used all the way through, so I'm sure they're already comfortable with it!"

"It seems that Boca coach Ischea put a fake message before the game! Argentina have been experimenting with a back three in previous open training sessions, and now it seems that this is just to confuse their opponents! Boca finally returned to the back four! ”

Before the game, Brazilian genius Barbosa released his words through the newspaper, the proud Brazilian star who always seems to love to get along with opponents has said before the last game that Palmeiras only need to use 40% of their strength to get rid of their opponents, who knows that in the end they lost the game and became a laughing stock of people.

And now he is back in front of Boca, in another interview with the Brazilian newspaper São Paulo, Barbosa not only did not mean to stop fighting, but once again angered the Argentine, saying that this time he would not be underestimated. This statement, combined with Barbosan's unique arrogance, undoubtedly caused the anger of many Boca fans.

The Brazilian media have hailed Barbosa as one of the best players for Palmeiras in their last game, and they will be hoping that the talent of the rising stars will be able to write a legend of their own on the home turf of the enemy.

However, the situation turned out beyond all Brazilians, and less than eight minutes into the game, Boca used a fast break to force Palmeiras' main centre-back McCullough, who had just returned from injury, to make a mistake and receive a yellow card after pulling down Palacio who burst into the box, and gave the home side a penalty.

Almost at the beginning of the game, when the Palmeiras players were not yet in the groove, no one expected that the attitude of the Boca people would be so resolute, and they would launch a fast attack as soon as they came up, making the unprepared Palmeiras busy and wrong.

With millions of fans watching, Palacio walked to the penalty spot and took the free-kick himself, but this time the visitors couldn't save the ball, 1:0, and the Boca took the lead in the seventh minute.

After the game restarted the center circle serve, the Palmeiras players, who had fallen to 1:3 on aggregate, quickly adjusted their mood and prepared to counterattack, at this time, although they were behind, the experienced players did not lose their minds, they knew that only by stabilizing their strength would they have a chance to turn the tables.

But at the moment, Boca's attitude is still resolute, Riquelme's two long-range shots almost scared the Brazilian fans out of the heart attack, but fortunately God favored them this time from afar.

After two swaying crossings, the Palmeiras regrouped in a panic, and Barbosa, the heart of the game, did not disappoint his supporters, whether it was passing or passing through to him, he was at ease, once again showing his brilliant performance, and the frequent flashes in the ribs also became the most beautiful scenery in the Brazilian attack.

In the 36th minute, Sintana, who had already released his suspicions with Barbosa, forced Monzon to cut inside and went straight to the penalty area after completing a breakthrough on the side.

Knock on the mountain and shake the tiger!

Sintana's burst shot definitely has a strong sense of shock, and he is telling everyone with his actual actions that Palmeiras is not only a great player like Barbosa, but also an opponent that should not be underestimated!

This time, however, Sintana was destined to be disappointed, as his only shot on goal in the first half was almost over after the Boca fans cheered him on. Immediately after, it became Santhiago who took over the game!

The Boca generals, who had already formulated a detailed battle plan, immediately launched a targeted blockade under the command of Santiago, restricting Barbosa to death, which also made the ball end every time it reached Balbosa's feet, on the contrary, Boca's offensive was played with the side by side planning of Riquelme and Santiago, which could not help but make Palmeiras fans look at it and be anxious in their hearts.

Fortunately, in the rest of the first half, although Boca attacked fiercely, Palmeiras did not go home without homework after the first round, and their regrouped defense did not give Boca too many chances, and the game entered a stalemate.

In this way, in a tense atmosphere, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

When the whistle sounded, the entire candy box stadium was like a crazy riot, countless fans regardless of gender, young and old, regardless of nationality all rushed to the toilet with the same goal, the first half of the wonderful battle almost made them dare not blink their eyes, how can they be willing to go to the toilet?

Palacio's penalty on the seventh minute sent the game up to speed, and it went straight into a bitter white-knuckle battle, where the Brazilians had to get back on the scoresheet and the Boca were looking to extend their advantage! Sitting in the locker room, while quickly replenishing energy and hydration, the players also did not have the slightest time to relax, and the coaches on both sides were constantly responding to the revelations that appeared in the first half of the field and the sharp blades of the enemy.
