The first round of the St. Paul State Championship playoffs ended.

First half: Palmeiras 3:4 Sao Paulo (overtime); Santos 7:6 Corinthian (penalties);

Second half: DB7:0 Botafogo SP; Mirasol 3:1 Bragandino.

Sao Paulo, Santos, DB, Mirasol, advanced to the playoff semifinals.

The home and away game will be decided by drawing lots. The matchup situation is as follows (home team is in front): Sao Paulo VS Santos Mirasol VSDB

The first round of the playoffs made Sao Paulo state fans excited. They scored 21 goals in four games in regular time, and there were two strong conversations, which were decided through overtime and penalty kicks.

But what is most surprising is the performance of the Youth Guards DB team.

As a "Brother" who entered the playoffs for the first time, DB actually broke the Brazilian football veteran team Botafogo sp.

You should know that Botafogo S is the only team that beat DB in the regular season (of course, the opponents in the same group have never competed).

This shows that the DB team has made a lot of progress compared to the regular season!

In fact, the DB team is improving almost at a speed visible to the naked eye. When people find the video of the DB team's first game 4 months ago, they can be surprised to find that the DB team's current playing style is more mature, the cooperation is more tacit, and the execution is stronger. The team's spirit has completely risen to a higher level.

What is more significant is the improvement of players' abilities.

Almost every player has made significant progress and improvement. This group of 18-9-year-old boys are not only physically higher, faster, stronger, and more skilled. What is more important is the ability to read the game, the timing of running and meeting, the game temperament that dares to fight and take responsibility, all grow like mushrooms after a rain.

The team is united, united as one, and closely united around the lofty. Everything is thriving, showing extremely strong combat power and competitiveness.

The famous Brazilian sports media "Global Sports" put forward the view with a prominent title "The Myth of Kaiserslautern in the State of São Paulo? Why not!"

Brazilian media are all praising the performance of DB teenagers, and domestic media and public opinion are even more vigorous and vigorous!

It’s really because everyone has been suppressing for too long, and they don’t have the chance to play Chinese football.

When was the last time that Chinese football made everyone feel happy? Was it the national team entered the World Cup on October 7, 2001? Or was the Chinese national youth team that shined in the World Youth Championship in 2005? Or was it the Evergrande team won the AFC Champions League twice in 2013 and 2015?

In short, it is all too distant memories. Compared with these few happinesses, pain and disappointment seem to be the eternal themes of Chinese football.

Now, this team, which is titled "National Youth Selection Team", rides the wind and waves on the field of the football kingdom, and even slaughteres opponents in the field of the playoffs. How can it not make people happy and energetic?

According to statistics from authoritative organizations, CCTV 5 broadcast the ratings of the first game of the DB playoffs as high as 4.01%, and about 75 million people watched the game through CCTV Sports Channel.

According to incomplete statistics, including the number of online viewers and the number of subsequent viewers who watched the recorded broadcast, about 120 million viewers watched the live broadcast or recorded broadcast of this game.

This data has surpassed the ratings record set by Evergrande in the 2015 AFC Champions League final.

CCTV5 naturally made a fortune. The TV leaders were so happy that they could not stop watching the rising ratings index and the merchants who wanted to insert TV advertisements before the game.

Although the domestic copyright holder of the São Paulo State Championship "Yuanshuai Sports Consulting Co., Ltd." hit CCTV and PP Sports through segmented marketing, the money is not worth mentioning in the face of huge advertising revenue.

CCTV and PP Sports both regarded DB as a hen that could lay golden eggs. They held it in their palms and were afraid of flying, and they were afraid of melting when they held it in their mouths. They also increased the intensity of publicity and reporting. Not only did they release a large number of publicity trailers during the prime time, but they also sent a large number of journalists to Brazil to follow up on interviews and reports.

Other media also heard the news. After DB won the first round of the playoffs, the sales of the Football News, which has been making a special edition, have soared, and even sold out of stock and were urgently printed. With in-depth reports on the DB team, they have firmly stepped on their competitors' sports weekly newspapers in recent months.

Everyone has seen the huge news value and popularity of DB. The famous and famous domestic media want to take advantage of the popularity and get a share of this promotional feast.

The huge exposure made the name of DB a household name in China. The Chinese general of the DB team has become a popular sports star in China. Many variety shows even sent invitations to participate in the recording of domestic entertainment variety shows after the league ends.

The arrogant young players ignored these invitations and looked down on them. Even the most popular Wang Zi was harassed.

But their most admired coach Gao Yuan was very shameless and happy to accept everything, and the playoffs were in progress without caring about the tension.

Now there are chaos in the base of Taishan Sports Center in Brazil. Various inspection teams under the name of learning, interview teams and reporters from various media, directors of entertainment companies, brokers and second-dealers who come to negotiate business cooperation are bustling and messy.

There is no way, this society is like this. No one is concerned about the poor in the downtown area, and no one is concerned about the wealthy in Brazil! Everyone has high firewood and flames, and people carry people in flower sedan chairs!

"Gao Yuan, now is such a critical time! Why do you have to be distracted from doing these things? Shouldn't we concentrate on playing the game well?"

Yan Ruyu asked with concern.

"Haha, your tone reminds me of my mother before the college entrance examination."

Gao Yuan lazily slumped on the wide boss's chair and said happily.

Yan Ruyu gave Gao Yuan a fierce look, "I'm talking to you about serious business, don't be smiling!"

"Oh, those who know me say I am worried, and those who don't know me want me for me! You don't understand, I'm doing this for the team!"

"What for the team? Shameless for the team? Humph, I think you just want to become famous and crazy!" Yan Ruyu said angrily.

"Tsk, women, they have long hair and short knowledge. This is called pursuing the maximization of social benefits. Do you understand? There are also training and competitions, don't worry, I'm there! I have said hello, and no one can disturb me during the training. But is the time outside of training? Everyone is casual, our team's style has always been like this, free and open."

"But now is the playoffs! The hard work of a season depends on the present." Yan Ruyu was still worried.

Gao Yuan sat upright and stared at Yan Ruyu's beautiful eyes with a burning look, "Do you believe me? Believe me, just listen to me!"

Within three seconds, Yan Ruyu compromised, avoided Gao Yuan's hot gaze, and sighed quietly.

"Oh, listen to you, who made you right every time!"

Gao Yuan laughed in his heart. This move has indeed been tried and done. Miss Yan, Miss Yan, I didn’t expect that such a arrogant strong woman would take this move.

Really, one thing is reduced to another, brine tofu!

However, is it easy for me to make this reputation? Not only do I want my face, but now I even start betrayal of my color!

After all, reputation is not for Chinese football!

Damn, for Chinese football, I have devoted myself to it until I die!
Chapter completed!
