In the home team's locker room, Rojas looked calm, and no one could see that his team was behind the ball, and there was little hope of reversal.
"We played well in the first half, but we were not lucky enough, but I firmly believe that as long as you can maintain such a high level, we can achieve a reversal." Roxas said.
Most of the players in São Paulo looked downcast. Not everyone can ignore the huge gap in the ball.
In the second half of 45 minutes, São Paulo must score at least the goal, but also to ensure that the opponent does not score, this difficulty ... Even Ronaldo is here, it will be tricky.
Fortunately, the opponent is not the Italian team known for defense, but the free and loose Argentine team, so this goal is still possible.
But, how to achieve it? The players are desperate for Rojas to come up with a solution.
But where does Roxas come from? Even if the players are given a ban on drugs, there is no guarantee that they will pull the ball in the second half.
"We performed very well in the last ten minutes, and continued to play at this pace." Roxas encouraged Ricardo and Kaka to change their tactics without authorization, but encouraged.
Next he started to paint on the tactical board, indicating how the players should cooperate without the ball when Ricardo and Kaka and Ricadinho took the ball.
Needless to say, everyone can see that these three Ricardos are the key personnel to reverse the situation in São Paulo.
In the first half, São Paulo had a ball possession rate of 57%, and shot 11 times and 7 times. 8 of these 11 shots were provided by them. Their excellent technology and skillful cooperation ensured São Paulo's possession rate. Especially in the last 10 minutes of the first half, there was no chance for Boca youth to fight back.
If it wasn't for the luck, Abondance's performance was a bit brave, the score in the first half would not be 0: 1, but 2: 1 or even: 1.
If they can maintain this state ... By the end of the game, not to mention equalizing the score, can they score at least one or two to save their face?
Thinking about this, the morale of the players in São Paulo is gradually coming up again.
Roxas was doing the final deployment, and suddenly the locker room door was knocked.
Captain Rogerio Cheney opened the door at the sign of Roxas, and everyone heard him shout in surprise: "Sir!"
Following Cheney into the locker room, it was São Paulo's chairman, Gavia, and his right-hand assistant, the new official's head of sports, Juventio.
"Hello everyone!" Gao Weia smiled. From his expression, he couldn't see that Sao Paulo was behind three goals at this time.
"Hello Chairman." The players greeted unevenly.
Roxas stood up in front of the tactical board, and he was unhappy to be interrupted. And even the chairman should not easily break into the locker room. The locker room is the sacred and most private place. No one except the coach and players should step in.
"You all played well, and I'm satisfied. São Paulo is a great team, and I'm glad you have done your best to defend the honor of this great team," Juventio said with a smile, "Of course, I also hope that in the second half, I can see you perform better. If you can defeat and win, it will be better. "
After speaking, he stepped back and let Gowia speak.
Govea took a deep breath and said loudly, "I don't have much to say, you are all professional players. Moalks. 0 million!"
He looked around the audience, and Eagle's sharp eyes made every player facing him look down uncomfortably.
"$ 1 million! As long as you win, you will get this money!"
There was a chilling sound in the locker room.
In this age of Brazil, $ 1 million is already a huge sum!
You know, most of the players in Sao Paulo have a weekly salary of only a few thousand dollars!
Even Ricardo, who got the top salary, only had a weekly salary of 1,000 reais, equivalent to $ 5,000.
And the US $ 0 million points for the whole team-of course, the amount of each person can certainly be different. Those who enter the big list and those who do not enter the big list are definitely different. There are additional rewards for goals, assists-but at least $ 100,000 can be obtained. For many players, this is equivalent to taking another season's salary!
Ricardo did not expect Gao Wei'a to be so big, he clearly heard that many people around him were breathing heavily.
Why do professional players play football? Because of love for football? Because of the noble pursuit? These may be the reasons, but the most important thing is for the money!
If you don't have money, you might as well play street football or beach football.
Without money, who would risk the serious injury, the second half of his life in a wheelchair, or even sudden death on the court, to play high-intensity and high-professional professional football!
The so-called, under the reward, there must be brave husbands, everyone will definitely die in the second half and also have to chase the score back.
A bounty of one million is more effective than any encouragement!
The dark clouds on Roxas's face also disappeared, and at this time he was full of smiles, such an intensity of support that he could not even imagine beforehand.
Of course, he was upset that Gowia hadn't ventilated him in advance. However, such a surprise is better!
"Well, I won't bother you. See you after the game. If you can get the Liberator Cup, I will celebrate for you in person!" Gao Weia stepped out of the locker room.
Juventio is close behind.
He is the one who knows the whole story best. Gowia didn't plan to offer a $ 1 million bounty at all. In fact, the club had a corresponding plan before the start of the season. The prize for the South American Liberator Cup to enter the top 4 is 500,000 reais. It's 2 million reais, or almost $ 800,000.
Just recently, Makali, the chairman of the Boca youth, talked with Gao Weiya. The words were ridiculous and ironic. When he came to the locker room, he promised the players an extra $ 1 million in bonus money.
Prodigal tyrant. Juventio grumbled in his heart. You need to know that before the season began, the team's main force, Baptista, switched to Sevilla, which only brought more than $ 1 million to the club.
Seeing the changes in the look of the players, Juventio knows that the team will definitely try their best in the second half.
It's just that the victory on the football field is as simple as that. Is it really possible to win with all your efforts?
If hard work is sure to be useful, what do you need to train, what do you need to coach, what do you need to do?
So he still doesn't expect the team to reverse.
But ... Juventio's mind flashed the faces of Ricardo, Kaka, and Luis Fabiano in turn.
If they can break out, it is not impossible to equalize the score.
