"Is this the state of São Paulo? It's my first time here......" said Dalisandro, the big head, on the River Plate bus, as he looked curiously at the Brazilian landscape.

"Santos...... It's not a good opponent to deal with. With Santos' squad, Cambiaso was frowning.

"Oh? Camby, what do you think of those Santos players? Leon glanced at Camby curiously, he wanted to hear what Cambiasso had to say about Santos' more famous players after watching a few Santos games.

Ortega also came over, and Cambiaso never spoke, but everything he said was well thought out.

"Actually, I think in the Santos team, Robinho, who is touted by the Brazilians, is not terrible now, he is still too young, only 16 years old, and he lacks experience in the game. That Andre, who has been dubbed a bomb striker by the Brazilian media, is not terrible either, because he is the end point of the attack on the field, not the initiation point. The players Santos really scares me about are Diego and Elano...... Speaking of which, I think the combination of the two of them is very similar to that of me Leon. Cambiaso glanced at Leon and said.

"Oh?" Leon asked with some curiosity, "Why?" Camby? ”

"That's right, Camby, why?" Ortega chimed in.

Cambias paused: "Elano is the kind of midfielder who has a lot of running ability, he has a good sense of forward and a good long-range shot, his style may not make him good on the pitch, but for a team, a player of Elano's characteristics is absolutely very important. And Diego, like Leon, is a midfielder with strong organizational skills and attacking ability...... So, I feel like their pairing is a lot like the combination of me and Leon. ”

"Canby, looks like you've done your homework! Rest assured, the two of us are the strongest midfield combination. Leon said confidently.

Cambiaso nodded, "That's a must!" ”

……

Diego, Elano, Robinho, Andre......

D'Alessandro, Leonville, Cambiasso, Ortega......

The first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores kicked off at the Urbano-Caldera Stadium!

The 20,000-capacity Urbano Stadium is packed today! Although Santos' home stadium is much smaller than the monument in River Plate, it is precisely because of the small size of the stadium that the cheers of the Brazilian fans have a rather loud echo.

South Americans are known for playing with their feet, so no one will make a fuss about the turf unless the difference between the home and away teams is too great.

And this match that Brazil and Argentina fans are very concerned about was also the sixteen-year-old Santos's Pele II Robinho - with a wonderful bicycle from the left side to announce the start of the race!

"Robinho breaks down the left! Quite superb foot technique! ”

Robinho, whose body has not yet fully opened, plus his immature face, is a lively little Zhengtai.

But his spirit of playing was already on display, and Robinho, who was fast in his dribbling, continued to move forward from the left, and at this time, he also saw that Leonwill had already made up for it.

Robinho has said that Leon is his idol.

Just like the NBA's golden generation who saw Jordan back then would be excited, Robinho today is also quite excited!

In the face of Leon's defense, the competitive Brazilian did not choose to knock the ball to Elano, who had already received it, but chose to force a breakthrough from the outside!

He did a very inconspicuous feint on his upper body, then one, two, three, four, five, six...... In the blink of an eye, Robinho had completed eight pedals!

The bicycle boy also attracted bursts of cheers from the fans at the scene!

In South America, you can play with the ball without being blamed by the fans, even if you make a mistake this time, come back next time!

There is a lot of tolerance for the imagination of the players, which is why there are so many imaginative stars in South America.

This is also the reason why England with square heads always lacks players with good imagination, because they dare not make moves, and they will be scolded by the coach if they do them......

Robinho's skilful cycling skills didn't fool Leon's eyes!

I saw that Leon didn't move at all, and it wasn't until the moment when Robinho stepped on the bicycle and walked the outside line that he stretched out his right foot and broke the ball! Excellent anticipation, patience! Leon waited like a hunter for the time when Robinho's prey would be flawed.

The first meeting between Robinho and León ended with León winning.

Instead of being frustrated, Robinho's face was more excited after the ball was broken, and he grabbed it as soon as possible, but Leon had already protected the ball with his body.

At this time, on the pitch, River Plate's counter-attack had already begun, Cambiaso came over to pick up Leon, and the two passed a wonderful one-two after Leon had already dribbled through the half.

Robinho still followed behind him reluctantly, and Leon was also very helpless about this little Zhengtai who refused to admit defeat.

"Hey, Leon!" On the field, on the right side, the big head Da Lisandro is asking León for the ball.

Leon then knocked the ball to the head and ran to the middle of the pitch himself.

This time, Robinho didn't follow him again, and it was clear that Robinho also knew that defense was not his forte.

The big man who received the ball on the right flank also showed off his excellent foot skills, and he won the crowd of amazement with his signature D'Alessandro stepping on the ball......

Is it more technical than footsteps? River Plate is not afraid of Santos! More than teamwork, River Plate is not afraid of Santos! More than imagination, more than aura, riverbed is not afraid of Santos!

As a result, the Argentine squad quickly suppressed the Santos team with the main attack.

Santos' midfield core Diego has not started to play today, and Diego's best time to play is probably when he played in Bremen, when he was very powerful, passing and shooting everything...... also led Bremen to the quarterfinals and semifinals of the Champions League......

Elano is a very diligent runner, and it is indeed Cambiaso of Brazil.

"Santos!!!! Santos!!!!!!!! Santos!!!!!!!!!!!! ”

In the case of the poor performance of the home team, the Brazilian fans in the stands beat the war drums, sang songs and danced the samba! Brazilians are not afraid to play against their opponents!

Instead, they want every opponent to play against them!

In the eleventh minute of the first half, midfield magician Diego's first ball threatened the door of River Plate, which was Elano's steal in the midfield.

Diego dribbled past Cambiaso's defense, he was as light as a birdie, and the moment Diego stepped into the midfield, Leon could make up for it, and the midfield magician raised his right foot and sent a through ball!

This is an anti-offside opportunity created by River Plate's pressing forward! You know, when Diego dribbled past Cambiaso just now, he didn't look up!

How did he see the situation on the field?

Like a breeze swept across the turf of the Stadium in Urbano, Pele II Robinho received the ball to the cheers of the Brazilian fans and cut inside from the left to form a one-on-one shot!

Fortunately, Robinho's last trip was too big for the River Plate goalkeeper to get a chance to make a meritorious decision, otherwise the Brazilian's flash of inspiration would have caused River Plate's goal to fall......

There was some frustration on Robinho's face, the little Shota only joined the team in January this year, but he has already scored five goals in ten Brazilian league games!

Sixteen years old...... At such an age, it is indeed too much for Brazilian fans to look forward to his future.

As the game continued, the link between Diego and Robinho reminded River Plate not to be too lax, after all, this is an away game.

……

Soon after Diego started playing, Santos slowly regained control of the game, and Elano's interspersed runs in midfield combined with Diego's scheduling, Santos began to play his own style.

In the 18th minute of the first half, when he broke through on the left side, he suddenly picked up a pass that almost created a killing chance, but fortunately bomb striker Andre did not park the ball and was destroyed by Leon first......

Otherwise, Andre just took advantage of the situation to enter the penalty area and it would be another one-handed opportunity!

"Robinho's boy...... Indeed, it's a pity. "Alas, it would have been nice if Robinho hadn't gone to Real Madrid, if only he had gone to a team with him at its core...... Maybe the achievements in the future will really be higher than Ronaldinho's.

At least the aura he showed now made Leon a little admired.

'Camby, together we take back control of the midfield.' Taking advantage of an opportunity for the ball to go out of bounds, Leon looked at Cambiaso and said.

Cambiaso smiled and nodded, "Willing to serve you, my noble princess." ”

Leon gave the guy an angry look.

How can you hand over control of midfield to the Brazilian? Cambiasso and León began to lead their teammates to increase the pressure on Diego, Elano and others, which caused the Brazilian to start to make mistakes......

And the Brazilians are not to be outdone, as soon as León and Cambiaso receive the ball, there will definitely be Santos players coming up to press.

The two teams fought around the midfield, and it was all about the basics.

Why is the national football team afraid of pressing? Isn't it because I can't get home with my basic skills? To put it mildly, the basic skills of a primary school student may be better than that of a national football player.

The basic skills are nothing more than ball control and passing, as Leonwill, whose skills are praised in the A-League game, his basic skills are honed every day in the time training room......

Therefore, Elano and others not only couldn't grab the ball when they pressed him, but also tore a big gap between Leon and Camby from the midfield!

"Good chance!" Leon, who successfully passed through the Santos midfield, made a long pass, and this time he was looking for his big brother Ortega!

The little donkey stopped the ball León passed to him with his chest on the left and stepped on the accelerator to rush to Santos' position......

If Robinho is a cycling teenager, then Ortega is a master of smashing!

The technical content of this game definitely exceeds that of many Europa Leagues...... But the degree of physical confrontation is really not high.

This is also the difference between the South American league and the European league, one heavy on technique and the other heavy on body.

Ortega's breakthrough left Santos' defenders looking a little powerless...... Brazilians, like Argentinians, are not their forte defensively.

Even for the Brazilian national team, Robert Carlos and Cafu prefer assists, and even Lucio sometimes can't help but want to go up and kick a few kicks......

No way, South Americans have offensive blood in their bones!

Ortega cut into the box from the left, and at this point, at least two players from the Santos team followed him!

Ortega, who attracted Santos's bag defense, also knocked the ball sideways without hurry!

The big head Dali Sandro who kept up was a kick directly!

It's a pity that the shot with the big head was blocked by the goalkeeper of Santos!

River Plate was awarded a corner, but their brilliant attack was a wake-up call for the Santos......

Don't think you get carried away after a few good attacks, River Plate also has the strength to break through their gates!
