After successfully advancing to the finals, Figo immediately called Li Zhao and sent congratulations.

"I have never doubted whether you can succeed in the first division. But for the Copa Libertadores, I originally thought that you would have to at least finish in the top four in the Brazilian League next year to have a chance. Unexpectedly, you are now the best.

Opportunity." Figo said with emotion.

"Yeah! I didn't expect that we are really only one step away from this. This is the Copa Libertadores! Speaking of things in this world, it's really amazing. I was still playing in the U17 World Youth Championship last year. Why?

I would not have thought of the current situation. It is not the time to congratulate me yet, but I believe that it will not be difficult to defeat Atletico Mineiro." Li Zhao's words could not express his excitement.

"Of course it's a good thing to have confidence, but you must not be careless. Many teams often fall in the last step because they underestimate their opponents. Besides, Atletico Mineiro is not an easy team to deal with!" Figo discovered.

Realizing the contempt in Li Zhao's words, he couldn't help but remind him.

"Nowadays, all the good players are gathered in Europe, so there are fewer and fewer good talents in South American teams. Traditional American teams like Palmeiras and Sao Paulo, which were once glorious, are now inevitable.

Showing signs of decline, even Santos, whom we just defeated, has actually declined a lot in strength. Of course, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so they still have a certain advantage against Asian and African teams.

Of course, Atlético Mineiro may be stronger in some aspects, but it is limited compared to Santos! Moreover, in this year's Serie A, their performance is not as good as Sao Paulo. Oh, by the way, originally there were still more players in their team.

There is Ronaldinho, but unfortunately he is becoming more and more marginalized." Li Zhao said proudly.

"If you think so, I'm afraid you are terribly wrong. Atlético Mineiro was able to become the champion of the Libertadores Cup last year, and their coach Sampaoli took the greatest credit, although their regular league results may not be the best.

But he is very good at playing in various cup competitions.

Leaving aside the other players in the team, Ronaldinho alone needs to be careful. Although his current state has seriously declined, as long as he has a sudden flash of inspiration, it is enough.

Of course, I think the real problem is that your progress is too smooth. Although you have defeated many well-known clubs before, do you really think that this is all their strength?" Figo asked, this is also what he said

Li Zhao's well-intentioned advice, whether he can listen to it or not depends on Li Zhao.

In fact, this is not Li Zhao's problem alone. After consecutive victories, the self-confidence of the players in the team has been inflated.

Hiddink naturally discovered this problem, but he had no way to deal with it for a while. There was no way. If there were one or two defeats before the Brazilian Cup final, it would not necessarily be a bad thing, as it would allow the players to wake up in time. But the Portuguese

They won again in the 34th and 35th rounds, which forced Hiddink's original rhetoric to be temporarily shelved. After all, it would be inappropriate to propose it at this time, and the effect would not be very good, and he would not be like Figo.

He was so completely devoted to Li Zhao.

The first leg of the Brazilian Cup final will be played at 6 pm on November 12 at the Mineiro Stadium in Belo Horizonte, where the classic battle between Germany and Brazil took place during the World Cup.

Although they said they didn't care, the Portuguese team set off one day early at Li Zhao's urging.

The distance from Sao Paulo to Belo Horizonte is about 500 kilometers, and it takes 6 hours to get there by car. Most people choose to fly, and the Portuguese are no exception.

Belo Horizonte is the fourth largest city in Brazil. Although it is much smaller than Sao Paulo, it is more lively. The United Nations here ranks the city with the highest quality of life in South America and among the 100 best cities in the world.

Ranked 45th, it is also known as the "Beautiful City".

After arriving at the hotel where they were staying and taking a short rest, the team went to the Mineiro Stadium for pre-match training.

This stadium is large enough to accommodate more than 60,000 spectators. As a witness to the tragedy of Brazil, when Li Zhao set foot here again, he could still recall the scene at that time, and it seemed that the scene was still vivid in his mind.

generally.

After practicing all afternoon, the team was preparing to go back to the hotel to rest. At this moment, Dolsa called Li Zhao.

"Brother, the chain of the watch you gave me is broken. Can you accompany me to that specialty store? I remember it's not far from here. If you move quickly, it shouldn't take long." Dole

Sa requested.

It’s also very interesting to say that the ladies’ watch she is wearing happened to be given to her by Li Zhao after he bought it in this city during the last World Cup. This watch is only available in specialty stores related to the World Cup series.

Selling limited edition sports watches, there are not many such stores in the world. In addition to the one given to Dolsa, Li Zhao also bought many pieces and gave them to Li Ruolan, Min Xiaoyan and other family members.

Relatives and friends.

"Well, I'd better ask the coach for instructions!" Although it's not far away, and it only takes more than 20 minutes to go back and forth, the current coach Hiddink is still very strict, and Li Zhao doesn't want to be in trouble all the time.

Become a special case.

Considering Li Zhaoping's active cooperation, Hiddink still had to give him some noodles. The team would not wait for them specifically for this, so they were allowed to go back on their own for a while, but the time was also limited.

Li Zhao naturally agreed, and then left quickly with Dolsa.

The World Cup-themed watch store is located in the commercial area of ​​the stadium, a short walk away, but it is closed at night. Fortunately, they arrived in time and got in before the store closed.

"Hello, can I still get a watch chain like this?" Li Zhao asked the salesperson in front of the counter.

"This style of watch was a very popular watch at the time. Our store was out of stock in the second month after it was launched. It is estimated that no store in Brazil still has stock, and the supplier has no further information.

supply, so this is out of print.

As for the matching watch chain, we still had it in the store in the first month, but now it is estimated that it may not be available in the warehouses of stores in Brazil. How about I ask the manager of the head office for you?

Go ahead!" the salesperson explained.

After Li Zhao nodded, she called to contact them, but the news they finally received disappointed them.

"Let me see, the chain of this watch is broken anyway, but it can still be recycled here, and the price can be dealt with at the original price. There is no loss for you, right?" The salesperson gave another one.

Set up a new plan.

"No need, we don't plan to sell." This time, Dolsa refused directly.

"Do you really want to stop thinking about it? We now have another latest model of women's watch. The style is not bad at all. I believe it will suit your girlfriend very well." The salesperson was still working hard, but she obviously

I don’t know the relationship between Li Zhao and Dolsa, so there was a mistake in naming them like this.

However, Dolsa seemed to be very useful and even prevented Li Zhao from correcting his mistakes.

"You are not being kind. The price of this style of watch on the market has increased several times. Even if the chain is broken, the price can still be doubled. And I believe that even if it is not available here, the main store

We also have a certain amount of accessories in stock." At this moment, a man with long hair and wavy hair stopped beside them. His outfit and appearance were indeed a bit special.

"You are~, Mr. Ronaldo de Assis Moreira!" someone next to him immediately exclaimed.
Chapter completed!
