"We are never afraid of challenges, we are never wavering and cowardly, and we are always full of fighting spirit, just like we were back then! Come on, challenger! This land will always breed the most determined warriors! The best warrior with the most iron blood! "At this moment, the stands of the Palmeiras stadium are already waving flags and crowds. Under the tumbling of countless flags, a huge spear-like tifo gradually showed its breathtaking momentum on the side of the Palmeiras goal, and on the side of the stands where the diehards gathered, a huge Palmeiras team emblem was pieced together by crazy Palmeiras fans, giving a strong shock and visual impact to the Argentines coming from afar.

This time, although many Palmeiras fans used insidious tricks before the game, Palmeiras FC still left enough tickets for Boca fans during the game, and the entire north side of the stand was almost filled by Boca fans from afar. Judging from the number of Boca fans present in this match, it is clear that they are also open, not only in the stadium there are nearly 6,000 Boca fans, but also outside the stadium more than 2,000 people.

This match was seen by the Boca people as a battle to prove their salvation.

"The referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and we were startled by the instant shouts! Palmeiras' side kicked off the first game, their sharp attacks have always been known in the Brazilian league, and Boca Juniors are no different, so it is clear that it will be a fierce battle! But now Boca Juniors will have to deal with how to defend against Palmeiras' first attack"

"Haha, such a slogan with a strong attack is really in line with the energetic Palmeiras team in front of you!"

Sintana played the ball to Barbosa, and in this game the Palmeiras coach sent Balbosa, who was in stable form, instead of letting Smith, who was rested, come on, although we don't know what the reason for this was but Barbosa will not miss this opportunity to prove himself! This is a very good midfielder who is good at attacking with the ball! ”

However, in contrast to the aggressive chants of the Palmeiras fans in the stands, the players did not rush to attack, but kept the ball under their feet and kept passing. Although the Palmeiras players are not as skilled and passable as the teams they are known for, the Palmeiras players are not reluctant to make a tackle every time Boca players make a grab, preferring to pass back rather than take risks.

Such a situation is rare in Palmeiras's usual games, and in the face of such characteristics, the Boca players on the other side do not understand very well. It stands to reason that with Palmeiras' style of play and home advantage, grabbing the start is a valid option. If you can suppress the opponent's morale with the opening fierce attack, then you will definitely be able to achieve good results.

At the moment, however, Palmeiras' approach was the opposite, and after several return passes, not only did not achieve any effect on the offensive end, but instead boosted the momentum of Boca's players.

What kind of wishful thinking is this?

Unable to make a tackle, Saint-Tiago did not stop, and as he pondered, he observed the positions of several players in the Palmeiras team who were responsible for attacking.

Center forward Sintana repeatedly retreats deep to respond, and the player named Barbosa is constantly tearing with the Boca players on the wing, doesn't it seem like there's anything special? Seeing this, Santhiago thought for a moment and signaled his teammates behind him to follow his own in-depth pressure to explore the reality, after all, it is obviously unrealistic to expect Palacio on the front line to come forward and achieve results, so Santiago can only improvise with Riquelme in the midfield, which is his best choice on the field at the moment.

The tactics of holding high the offensive banner and grabbing the start before the game were undoubtedly recognized by all Boca players, but now what Boca generals did not expect was that the opponent would choose to wait and see for the time being. That's not a problem! It was as if the Bocas had thrown a punch with all their strength on the cotton, and if they could not carry out their tactics, the situation would have taken a sharp turn, so Santiago decided to take a risk after a little thought.

At this time, someone must not be afraid to stand up!

However, Boca will not include coach Ischea would never have thought that the coach of Palmeiras standing on the sidelines had already fallen into ecstasy at this time, the Brazilian coach did not expect Boca to start with him away from home, he just told his players to control the ball at their feet in the first ten minutes as much as possible, and let Boca people withstand the boos and pressure of the fans as much as possible.

To the manager's surprise, his steady move was nothing short of spectacular with Boca's attacking policy in high spirits, and it did what he didn't expect! This also made him more determined in his ecstasy and made his mind more determined.

Like Santiago, Patagoria, who is also a member of the Argentine national team, had a brilliant start to football, starting with Boca, where he was called up to Villarreal after being spotted by European clubs, before returning to Boca after the disappearance of the South American gang. As a result, the current Batagoria are still physically strong and defensively strong, so when Batagoria comes up, it causes a lot of pressure on the Palmeiras backline, which also makes the players have to speed up the frequency of the pass as much as possible in case they are successfully intercepted by Patagoria.

Of course, despite the obvious effect of Patagoria's top grab, it has not been able to make substantial progress. Seeing this scene, Saint-Tiago patted his arm and showed a meaningful smile, is this Palmeiras trying to lure the enemy deeper? Regardless, with Patagoria's help and strategy, he saw an opportunity.

With three midfielders in the current Palmeiras squad responsible for defence, Felipe is one of Brazil's rare players in both attack and defence, with the quality enough to cover between the two penalty areas, defending as a barrier to the backline and being involved in attack. In Palmeiras, he is the barrier, the hub, and he carries an invisible but heavy burden on his shoulders.

Due to their lack of knowledge of the player, Santhiago are reluctant to look for opportunities from Felipe's feet, but that doesn't mean they will turn a blind eye to the player. According to Santi's observations, a player of Fee's physique must also have his own shortcomings, and 80 percent is probably speed! Judging by Felipe's running movements and starts, speed is not his strong suit.

At the same time, the speed of the other two Palmeiras players should also be neither fast nor slow, and the instant explosion of these two in the process of avoiding the Boca players in the process of three touches can indeed be eye-catching, but most of the time they are still ordinary and do not continue to move forward.

There are tactical reasons for this, but there are certainly objective reasons for this, so Santhiago believes that Palmeiras is playing the trick of luring the enemy into the depths at this moment. After all, even if Palacio is willing to keep grabbing up the front, the weakness of defense and interception makes it difficult for them to be effective, and Riquelme is even more so, and for a player like him, physical fitness is especially valuable.

In such a situation, Boca will have to pull out three midfielders and press with two wing-backs, otherwise they will have to watch the Palmeiras players continue to control the ball at their feet, unhurriedly looking for their own space.

Obviously, this kind of passivity is not what Boca and Santhiago want, so even in the eyes of coach Ischea, Santiago's move must be done despite being risky, which is an unpickable choice! And if he does what he wants, then Santi and Riquelme will be able to avoid the large number of defenders and successfully make waves.

Soon, Santi found his target, Balbosa.

Compared with Boca's existing midfield duo, even if Palmeiras, who has a single core as the core of the attack, plays a flower in tactics and footwork, the link they can't avoid is still Barbosa, whether it is attacking or guiding the ball.

Balbosa has had the most shots in the last 10 minutes, as everyone at Boca was present.

But the reason why the attacking core was discovered, and Palmeiras can still hold the ball is because Barbosa has an extreme time every time he touches the ball, and unlike the traditional midfielders, he and Santhiago almost always position themselves in the same position, that is, an engine, a transfer station, radiating around with himself as the midpoint, which is why it can ensure that the ball is transmitted rationally and not be seized by the Boca people.

Barbosa has shone in the Brazilian league this season, and unlike the obscurity of the previous two seasons, Barbosa, who has accumulated for a long time, ushered in a small explosion in his career, and he seized the opportunity to show his super football philosophy, helping Palmeiras win the Brazilian league, and he has become the hottest new player in the Brazilian league today.

Before this game, the Brazilian media had been frantically hyping the collision between Barbosa and Riquelme, and the encounter did not put Santo Tiago, Boca's other central midfielder, in comparison. Of course, this has the influence of the previous transfer turmoil of Santo Thiago, which makes people think that he will not get the opportunity to play, but it is undeniable that it is also because of the arrogance of the Brazilian media, they do not really take young players like Santiago seriously.

Therefore, when Santo Tiago approached Balbosa quickly, even if all the ** people pointed their cameras at the two of them, the TV commentator of Palmeiras did not have any excitement, and some just commented gently, in his opinion, Balbosa, the rising star, would not give Santiago any chance.

But while running, Saintie knew that his chance to fight Balbosa had come!

As a player with a similar style, he puts himself in the shoes of Barbosa and sees the situation in front of him, and in the case of Santi himself, he will definitely choose to pass the ball at the moment

Left!

As soon as Balbosa's ball left his ankle, the running Santi suddenly ran towards the left edge of the court, and no one knew why Santhiago reacted so quickly! The ball really went to the left!

In such a densely populated place as the left midfield, it turned out to be a good passing choice for Barbosa and San Tiago!

The exclamation resounded throughout the audience in an instant! As Santhiago ran, Palmeiras was in disbelief and horror at the same time, could the ball have been broken???

How so?

At this moment, Barbosa's eyebrows are also twitching, and he still can't believe that the Argentine in front of him can judge the direction of his chosen pass! However, in the end, it is a highly praised top star, Balbosa's reaction is also extremely fast, when he saw Santiago dispatching, Balbosa was also desperate to take one step and make two steps to rush over, the instantaneous high-speed start and strong explosive power in the millimeter to show the most vividly!

Almost fifteen seconds later, Barbosa caught up with the ball again, and then the moment the ball was caught up by him, Santiago's eyes lit up, this was the opportunity he had been waiting for! You can't run away this time! In the meantime, Santi suddenly forced his body to slot and then stretched out his right foot to stab the ball at Balbosa's feet, a trick that Santiago learned from defending his own players in Serie A, and in his opinion it was definitely the easiest and most practical way to intercept!

"What!!! San Tiago, he didn't grab it right!! Balbosa, what a quick reaction!! He kept the ball!!!! What a wonderful trick! “

Not everyone is Santiago, and not everyone is Riquelme, because there is always someone who is more outstanding and more talented.

Just when Santiago saw that he was about to succeed, Barbosa suddenly kicked his left foot and completely changed the trend of moving to the left, and instead bounced out to the right. I don't know when the ball that has been picked up by him just happened to hit Balbosa's calf and popped up again!

"Unbelievable! It turned out to be a wonderful one-two, a subtle combination between Barbosa and Sintana, and he also completed a cross-rotation at this moment, so that Santiago could only return to Sintana in vain! ”

What the!!!

This time Santiago was really dumbfounded, and he fully understood the state of mind of those players who had defended themselves with all their might in the game but were ruthlessly thrown away.
