13: Civilian Team (Today's First Update)

Olympia Paraguay......

Speaking of River Plate's opponent in the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores, we have to mention a small story.

This was during the Toyota Cup '02 in León's previous life, when Paraguayan Olympia, the South American champion, challenged the king of Europe, the Galactic Battleship Real Madrid, at the National Stadium in Yokohama.

Because Paraguay's annual investment is only a few hundred thousand euros, many media joked at that time that the whole Paraguayan Olympia team is not worth a finger of any superstar of Real Madrid.

Although Paraguay Olimpia eventually lost that Toyota Cup match, let's not forget that it was this civilian, low-cost team that defeated the South American heroes in '02 to stand at the top of South America.

River Plate's confidence had swelled to the extreme before the game, with a win over Boca in the domestic league and then a win over Santos......

And in the thirteenth round of the league, River Plate won again!

They lead the Argentine Spring League standings and their morale is high!

Not a single River Plate fan has their Copa Libertadores semi-final tie against Olimpia Paraguay in mind.

If two years ago, this team had a talent named Roque Santa Cruz, now this Paraguayan club is basically unnamed by name.

Leonville's red-hot form has River Plate blindly optimistic about the Final Four match.

So much so that when they upset and lost, the whole of South America let out an exclamation!

In Asunción, Paraguay, the entire River Plate team was stuck in a quagmire from the moment they stepped on the turf.

The Paraguayans are very good at tricks, they tossed the turf of the pitch before the game, and they showed a very low profile before the game......

Even their head coach says he's a River Plate fan.

While the arrogant Argentines thought they could easily reach the final, in Asunción the Paraguayans were in stark glory!

Three brilliant counterattacks!

Three to 0, that's an unbelievable scoreline!

River Plate didn't play to their strengths at all on that terrible pitch in Asunción, and their characteristics, even Leonville, the most consistent of their team, lost their sense of playing on the pitch.

The whole of Argentina fell silent.

……

"We were careless! Looking at the whole of South America, the only one who plays defensive counter-attacking football is Paraguay! How did the Paraguayans play in the World Cup? Isn't it just relying on ferocious defense and sharp counterattacks? The winning streak has swept away each and every one of us, and now it seems that the Paraguayans' low-key performance is actually trying to make us even more arrogant. The arrogant army will be defeated! I have forgotten this thousand-year-old precept. After the loss, Leon looked a little annoyed.

Because with the help of Yali recently, his physical fitness is improving rapidly, and combined with his elegant technique, he is really difficult to find opponents in the Argentine game.

However, the match against Olimpia Paraguay taught León that he still needs to improve.

When the six defenders of Paraguay Olimpia lined up in the penalty area, León found that he could not find any passing points.

River Plate were also not alert when they were down 0-1, they hadn't conceded a goal for too long since they entered the knockout rounds, so conceding one didn't keep them up.

But after 0-2, the River Plate players began to get anxious, and even Leon, who has always been calm, was also anxious.

And when the score was rewritten to 0-3, River Plate was kicked stunned, and in front of this civilian army, the arrogant River Plate lowered his head.

This is something that even Boca Juniors and Santos can't do! Now it has been done by an unknown team.

"Xiao Qiuzi, you still have a chance to turn the tables, it's just that in the history of the Copa Libertadores...... Such a turnaround is unique. Ciceros also said comfortingly.

After all, Leon has never suffered such a painful defeat since the beginning of his career.

It's too smooth, Leon's career is too smooth, in the autumn league, River Plate's four kings are invincible, in the spring league, the rise of San Lorenzo should have reminded River Plate to wake up, but the continuous progress in the Copa Libertadores and the regain of the first place in the spring league, coupled with the continuous winning streak, made Leon mistakenly think that everything was too easy.

It's football!

On the football field, things are changing in a flash.

……

Who is the happiest person in River Plate's loss?

Undoubtedly a fan of Boca Juniors!

For example, Amy, Boca's brain-dead girl, finally let out a bad breath, although this bad breath was helped by the Paraguayans.

"The arrogant River Plate is too underestimated to look down on the Copa Libertadores! No wonder they have only two Copa Libertadores titles as the most victories in the A-League! "The media that support Boca finally have a chance to jump out at this time!

Yes, they have been suppressed for too long.

Who called Leonville, who has been in too hot form for most of the past six months? River Plate basically haven't lost well, they can't find any chances at all.

But now, Paraguay Olympia sank the invincible battleship Riverplate of the Paraguayan Armor 3-0......

Not one to zero, not two to zero, but three to zero!

Such a score, such a game, makes the Boca people excited.

"Let's win the Copa Libertadores! Riverbed? They will only bully the weak and fear the hard! As for Leon Will? As it turned out, he was embarrassed! At this point, in the other semi-final match, Boca took a temporary lead in the first leg of the match against Sao Paulo......

The Boca people do have the capital to laugh at River Plate, as they are approaching the final, and River Plate is drifting away from it.

The Argentine's dream of Boca and River Plate meeting in the Copa Libertadores may be difficult to achieve.

……

In the 14th round of the A-League, River Plate, which had just lost the Copa Libertadores, unexpectedly lost at home to Arsenal of Sharadi......

With a series of upsets, River Plate's lead in the Spring League standings is only one point, and San Lorenzo, who has been in second place and waiting for his chance, is approaching!

Two consecutive defeats, this is the first time River Plate has suffered two consecutive defeats in more than a year!

On the football field, it is not uncommon to lose a game and then lose the whole season, and people can't help but speculate at this time, is River Plate going to collapse?

Head coach Carlos Babintong was manly at this point, and he took all the blame on himself at the press conference.

But this did not seem to prevent the collapse of River Plate, and in the fifteenth round of the A-League, River Plate naturally handed over the top position of the A-League after a draw! River Plate, who will face Paraguay Olympia in four days' time, have not tasted a win in the last three rounds!

They were overtaken by San Lorenzo by one point in the standings!

With only four rounds left in the league, they took it upon themselves to win the championship.

And in the last three games, Leonwill has rarely had no assists and no goals.

The performance of the noble son of River Plate seems to have become a microcosm of the whole team of River Plate - terrible.

……

"Leon! What's wrong with you? I'm fighting hard at the negotiating table right now! You're going to have to do it! "Leon's agent, Mendes, also made the eighteenth call in a week!

Mendes is in a hurry! Because he originally occupied the absolute initiative at the negotiating table, but now, because of the poor performance of River Plate in the past three rounds, such initiative has been handed over again......

Leon is also a little helpless, in fact, it is not that he plays badly alone, but that the whole team plays badly.

River Plate can't seem to find the feeling of winning right now......

On the streets of Buenos Aires, Leon, who was wearing sunglasses, also decided to relax by shopping and shopping.

Tomorrow is the match against Paraguay Olimpia, but River Plate is extremely underestimated......

Judging by the odds offered by the bookmakers, their chances of progressing to the final are not even 1 in 1,000......

"Well, Ciciroro, I've reached the fifth level of a top professional player! And I also think I'm actually more dominant on the field, but why ......" Leon frowned.

Ciciro also shook his head: "Maybe that's why Argentina and France were out of the World Cup in 02......"

Leon didn't speak, but looked at the clothes in the clothing store quietly alone.

Buenos Aires is just too small, oh no, the world is too small.

"Yo! Isn't that a big talent for River Plate? Just as Leon was looking at his clothes, suddenly behind him, Amy, Boca's brain-dead girl, appeared.

Leon looked back at Amy, ignoring her.

"Humph! If you lose, you ignore people, alas, what about your arrogance? Great genius? "Amy finally found a chance to pull back the ride!

I'm so lucky today, I actually ran into this big idiot when I went out shopping! Amy didn't want to miss the chance to complain about Leon!

You know, the last time Leon asked her to wear a River Plate jersey to watch the national derby, she still remembers it to this day!

Humiliation! Absolute humiliation!

For any Boca fan, it was an unprecedented humiliation!

And for a proud girl like her, she was asked to wear that outfit that was almost like a dress...... Then stand in the middle of the River Plate fans and watch Boca be ravaged with their own eyes......

Humiliation!

"Your expression really looks like River Plate's current situation! Hum! Now that you've lost, you can't be arrogant, right? Look, we Boca will take back the Copa Libertadores! You riverplate, try to catch up with San Lorenzo! "Amy couldn't be happier now! I don't know why, since the last time, now she is quite happy to see the decline of the arrogant Leon now.

At this time, Leon, who was looking through his clothes, glanced back at Amy: "You lost to me last time, I haven't gone to look for you, I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to me......"

"You!" As soon as she thought of what happened last time, Amy was so angry that her teeth itched: "Hmph, who took the initiative to come to you?" I just came out shopping and saw you, the god of decay! ”

Leon smiled, then patted Amy on the shoulder: "Boca's brainless girl, do you dare to make another bet with me?" ”

Amy also smiled, "Why don't you dare!" Are you going to bet me that River Plate can be reversed? ”

Leon nodded, he reached out and touched Amy's forehead, "It seems that you are not stupid, how do you know?" ”

Amy pushed Leon's hand away, and then said, "You're stupid! Hmph, can you reverse it? Since the establishment of the Copa Libertadores, it is impossible to reverse it after falling behind 0-3! ”

Leon didn't answer, but was quiet for a while.

"What's wrong? Great Genius! Silenced? Didn't you just shout about making a bet with me? Hmph, you're really a useless guy! Amy said as she looked at Leon in silence with her hands in her arms.

"I'm useful or not, don't you know if you come and experience it for yourself?" Leon smiled evilly and stared at Amy's whole body and said, "Why are you dressed so middle-named, you are actually quite feminine." ”

"You!" Amy wanted to slap Leon, but her hand was grabbed by Leon in mid-air, "Rogue! Shameless! Hum! You're useful, why don't you dare bet with me if you're useful? ”

Leon let go of Amy, "Who says I wouldn't dare?" I'll bet with you that we'll be able to reverse the cut tomorrow! ”

"Good! What about the stakes? Amy asked, looking at Leon with her chest puffed out.

"The bet is yours...... If we come back and advance to the finals, you have to do what I want you to do! Even if you have a conscience, you have to do it! Leon said.

"Good! If you lose! Whatever I want you to do, you have to do too! Even if it is a shame of conscience! "The proud Boca woman is not at all afraid of the rebellious riverbed man.

"Ok, deal!" Leon smiled, maybe he knew why he hadn't been in good form lately.

Thank you, Boca's brain-dead girl.
