Santos, as the team that won the Copa Libertadores this year, is also a long-established giant.

Pele, the world's first recognized "king of the ball", grew up and played for Santos.

In Brazil, this is also a long-established giant.

There have been a lot of world-class players.

In addition to Pele, it later included Robinho, Diego and others, who were very familiar to Rongguang.

When Rong Guang played for Sao Paulo, he played against Santos where Robinho, Diego and others were located on many occasions.

At the time, Robinho and Diego were known as the "Santos Twins", while Glory and Kaka were considered the "São Paulo Twins".

The contest between these two pairs of stars is, of course, always the victory of the São Paulo pairs.

And now Santos also has a pair of "double stars" that attract attention, striker Neymar and midfielder Ganso.

Neymar is known as the "New Pele" in Brazil, and he is not only famous in Brazil, but also in Europe. There are a lot of rumours about him, such as the fact that he has signed a secret agreement with Real Madrid, and he will move to Real Madrid. But there are also those who say Barcelona are interested in Neymar.

However, Neymar has just renewed his contract with Santos, which also makes his future in Europe uncertain. Of course, renewing the contract does not mean that it will not be completed in a short time, maybe it is just to make Santos ask for a higher transfer fee?

This Club World Cup final will be Neymar's best chance of proving his ability to the entire European football world. If he can lead Santos to beat Manchester City, I believe that no matter what Santos asks, there will be European giants who will wave their cheques and rush to Brazil.

Ganso, on the other hand, is known as the "new Kaka". His size and style of play are very similar to Kaka, who played in São Paulo.

Now, he will be battling his template in the final of the Club World Cup.

What is a little embarrassing is that Glory and Kaka teamed up against Santos' twin stars in Sao Paulo, and now nine years later, they are facing the same opponent on the same team.

It's just that the Sao Paulo duo became the Manchester City duo, while the Santos duo was replaced......

※※※

Before the start of the game, the atmosphere between the players of the two teams was quite harmonious, and in the passage waiting for the game, Ganso took the initiative to chat with Kaka, and Lucio was also greeting the Santos players.

After all, they are all Brazilian players, and some are even teammates of the Brazilian national team.

However, Neymar did not communicate anything with Glory, as the captain of Santos, he stood at the front of the team wearing the captain's armband, without squinting and not looking at Glory.

The glory was next to him. Ganso came up to greet Kaka after talking to him, as well as the other Santos players greeted Glory.

Although Rong Guang is not Brazilian, but a Chinese player, because of his unique career experience, he is no different from a Brazilian player in the minds of many Brazilian players. For many young Brazilian players, glory is even their idol.

Brazil seems to have become Rongguang's second home, and in fact, Rongguang also has a deep affection for Brazil, he also bought a house in São Paulo, and he will often return to Brazil for vacation.

When the referee came out, the players of both teams stopped communicating like this.

Next, players from both sides come out.

Today's Yokohama International Stadium was packed, mostly Japanese fans.

Although neither side of the game is a Japanese team, there is not even a Japanese player in the lineup.

But the relationship with Japan is still quite large.

Brazil is the country with the largest number of Japanese expatriates, and Brazil has good relations with Japan, and there are many Brazilian expatriates in Japan.

Many of these Japanese fans still support Santos.

In this match, Benitez sent his strongest lineup, and he did not make any reservations.

In the face of Neymar and Ganso, he also made targeted defensive arrangements. And did not underestimate the enemy.

After all, Neymar has a reputation and many people think he is a player who can reach the heights of Pele.

Of course, many people must be dismissive of this - in Brazil, there are many players who claim to be the second Pele every year. It's the same as in Argentina, where every year there are many players who claim to be the second Maradona......

In both countries, there is a super powerful predecessor, and this predecessor has more or less brought great pressure to the descendants.

Robinho was originally called Bailey II, but what happened?

Aguero, Aimar and others have also been called Maradona II, and the result?

Messi is now the closest person to Maradona, and his achievements at club have even surpassed Maradona. But at the national team level, he's still far behind.

Rongguang's happiness lies in the fact that he is a Chinese player, no one calls him the second of whom, and he does not have to carry a heavy burden, although he may not care even if he has a burden. But at least in China, I don't hear anyone call Rongguang "Li Huitang II".

Having said that, the reason why Neymar is considered the "new Pele" is also related to his own strength.

In fact, Brazilian football has gradually entered an era of shrinking talent since Kaka, and the talented players of Brazilian football once exploded like a blowout, which lasted from the Pele era to the beginning of this century.

With these talented stars, Brazil has won five World Cup titles and has become recognized as the "Kingdom of Football" in the world.

But since winning the 2002 World Cup, Brazil's talent has begun to wither.

Kaka and Ronaldinho are the afterglow representatives of Brazilian football. Since then, Brazilian football has not had a world-class superstar.

Adriano was once expected to be high, and his outstanding physical qualities and talent made it seem that he could even surpass Ronaldo, the "alien".

But Adriano has fallen for himself before he can prove himself thoroughly on the pitch.

Robinho was once also considered the "new Pele", and even Pele himself was very optimistic about him, but it turned out that he was not worthy of his name except for pedaling, and he was far from Pele. Although Robinho went to Real Madrid, his experience at Real Madrid was a failure, and even more so at Manchester City, and then he went to AC Milan, where he became a little prince of nightclubs, and people can no longer see the shadow of the "new Pele" of the past.

If you think about it, there is no leader in Brazilian football after Kaka, who was the last Brazilian player to win the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or.

The decline of Brazilian football talent is an indisputable fact.

When Argentine genius Lionel Messi swept away a Qiē honor in Barcelona, there was no one in Brazilian football who could compete with him.

There is even a voice in Brazil that it is a pity that Rongguang did not choose Brazilian nationality at the beginning, otherwise Rongguang would still be able to carry the banner of Brazilian football and confront Messi.

And now, after waiting for so many years, there is a Neymar, he has fancy dribbling skills, he led Santos to sweep Brazil, and also won the Copa Libertadores, and suddenly became famous, making people seem to return to the golden age of Brazilian football in the past, but soon everyone came back to the excitement - at least at that time, Brazil was full of football talents, and now after waiting for so many years, only one Neymar has come out......

Still, it was because there was so little talent that Neymar's emergence drove Brazilian fans and the press crazy, and every fancy performance he put on the pitch caused Brazilian fans and media to exclaim.

Brazilian fans see him as the leader who has led Brazilian football back to glory.

We look forward to him joining forces with Kaka, who has regained his form, to help the Brazilian national team win their sixth World Cup title at the World Cup in Brazil three years later!

But others expressed skepticism. After all, Neymar's current honor and reputation have been achieved in South American football, but as we all know, the level of South American football is far from the level of European football, and if Neymar is not able to prove his ability in European football, he is still a paper tiger.

Neymar has not landed in Europe yet, but he is destined to go in the future.

Now he can prove his quality against European teams.

The Club World Cup final is the best stage.

Neymar was in good form after the start of the game.

Just two minutes into the game, he had a run of two men after winning the ball, and against the City backline, he used his dribbling past two men until the end of the line was broken by Godin.

At that time, the Brazilian commentator was almost crazy with excitement, and when Neymar was dribbling the ball, he kept chanting Neymar's name, and only shouted fame, he didn't say anything.

"Neymar! Neymar! Neymar! Neymar - ! Neymar!! Neymar ...... Yes! ”

When Neymar's ball was destroyed, he screamed in regret as if he had been shot, and then the whole person lay on the table of the commentary table.

And England commentator John Mortensen was startled by Neymar's watch in the back studio: "It's really worthy of being the 'new Pele' who is favored by the whole of Brazil, such a pass is really sharp!" ”

But as always, Alan Hansen has a different opinion: "But I think his moves are a little too fancy. If he hadn't made that extra move, he might have been able to get past Godin and burst into the box......"

The television broadcast gave a close-up of Neymar, who looked a little regretful, but this did not affect his fighting spirit, and he quickly regained his normal expression, his eyes as if they were shining.

He turned his head to look in one direction, and the camera didn't move along, so the audience in front of the TV didn't know who he was looking at, maybe he was looking at his teammates, a walk that didn't make any special sense.

But in fact, Neymar is looking at glory.

This is his goal and task in this game, he wants to defeat Rongguang in the competition with Rongguang!

If he wants to go to a European giant, there is no better ticket than this!
