17From the balcony of my room, I could see the roof of the great god's house

When the two of them came out of the open-air coffee shop, it was not early, and Ronaldo still had a baby son at home waiting for his father to come home for dinner. After calling the assistant, it didn't take long for the car to drive over.

Leo wasn't as good as him, and someone pulled the car up to him with a phone call. He parked his car in the underground garage of Callao Square and walked several streets to get back the way he came.

He looked at the sky and said to Ronaldo: "You wait here slowly, I'll go first." ”

"Where are you going?" Ronaldo asked.

Leo pointed in the direction they had come: "I'll park the car over there, I'll have to pick it up and go home." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand to Ronaldo and turned around to leave, but was dragged back by Ronaldo: "It's so far, don't go, go back with me." ”

Leo walked home a little depressed, saying that he would prepare a special gift for his brother, but in the end he went home with both hands. And his hat was still on Ronaldo's head, and he forgot to take it back.

Cristiano Ronaldo's family lives in the suburbs about 10 kilometres west of Madrid's Moncloa district, and the mansion not far from his house belongs to another Real Madrid superstar, Gareth Bale. A little further from the Bell family is the Zidane family.

That's right, Leo and Ronaldo are still neighbors.

When Leo got off at the intersection, Ronaldo deliberately asked: "I really don't have to send you to the door?" ”

Leo waved his hand and walked in too much of a hurry, completely unaware that the hat on Ronaldo's head was actually his own and should be taken back.

When he got home, his mother saw him with surprise written on her face and walked up to him and gave him a big hug. The brothers heard his voice and ran down the stairs, and little Theo was the first to rush down the steps and threw himself into his arms, his little hands around his waist and refusing to let go.

Leo touched his head and picked him up, the little one was much taller than he had been away from home.

Theo is now attending the Canillas Football Academy, which is part of Real Madrid's academy, as a striker, and his idol is their neighbour Cristiano Ronaldo. But in fact, the family thinks that on the court, little Theo is the most like his father among the four brothers.

Mom smiled beside her: "Theo will be 9 years old tomorrow, and he is still coquettish in the arms of his eldest brother." ”

The other two younger brothers also walked up to Leo at this time, smiling and hugging him.

At the age of 16, Luka is already about the same height as his eldest brother, and he is an excellent goalkeeper in the Real Madrid academy, and his idol is Casillas. In the semi-finals of the UEFA Youth Championship (Under-17) against Belgium in May, he saved three penalties to help France reach the final of the European Under-17 Championship for the third time.

The 13-year-old is also much taller, and he is now a great defender in Real Madrid's junior team, with his idol being French defender Raphael Varane.

Luca said: "Leo, I thought it was a particularly stupid decision for you to leave Real Madrid, but I watched the match between Granada and Barcelona. It turns out that the stupid one is me, you are amazing. ”

El Yéas also said with a little emotion: "The Marseille maneuver was so handsome, I still remember how wonderful the expression on Mascherano's face was at that time, and Barcelona paid a terrible price for their light opponents. ”

Leo sat on the sofa with his youngest brother in his arms and chatted with the other two younger brothers, and his mother carefully prepared a lot of small snacks, all of which were delicate and attractive, all of which were Leo's favorites.

He only ate a whole CremaCataluaCrema at the instigation of Ronaldo in the afternoon, and now when he sees the dim sum made by his mother, although he wants to eat it crazy, he still can't bear it.

Mom saw that his eyes kept falling on the snack, but he just didn't take a piece. Then he asked, "Honey, you used to love to eat your mother's dim sum, what's wrong today?" ”

Leo said apologetically to his mother, "The dietitian didn't let me consume too much sugar. ”

"Whatever." Mom moved the snack to him: "No one can control you when you go home, and your father can't control what you want to eat." ”

Then his father walked in from outside the yard and listened to his mother's words word for word. However, fans all over the world know that Zidane's family is the hostess Veronica, so although Dad also thinks that it is not good for Leo to eat too many sweets, he does not dare to contradict his mother.

Lukka and Elias were already laughing on the couch, glad that they didn't have a sweet tooth and didn't have such troubles as their big brother, so they could now gloat on the sidelines.

Leo stood up and hugged his father, and Zidane touched his son's head: "You chat with your mother and brother first, I have to prepare dinner first." ”

The ingredients in the kitchen are prepared by his wife in advance, and the chef only needs to take the spoon. It was the happiest time of the day for Zidane, and with the occasional child's laughter or two, he put the ingredients into the pot one by one. Today's dinner has his favorite potatoes, seafood and fried steak, his children's favorite pasta, and broccoli that he and his wife must eat every day......

The family happily sat around the table for dinner, and Veronica felt sorry for her eldest son who was away from home, and always urged him to eat more.

After dinner, the family of six went for a walk in a nearby park, and Theo always followed the eldest brother every inch until he came home after a walk, and his mother Yan Sù's team Theo said: "You can't pester my brother anymore, you must go back to the room to take a bath." Only then did Leo get rid of his brother's close guard.

Veronica and her three young sons went back to their rooms, and Zidane had time to sit down and talk to his sons alone.

'Although from the heart of me I always want you to be a good midfielder, but I have to say that your striker played fantastic.

Leo said apologetically: "I prefer to play in the front line rather than in the midfield, and the open space outside the box allows me to play with my speed more freely. ”

Zidane smiled, he had always had a question in his mind, but he respected that his son never asked: "Your speed has given me an unexpected surprise, I never knew you could run so fast...... Do you take vitamins every day? ”

Leo nodded, and instinctively told him that Zidane's last question, which seemed to have nothing to do with the preface, must have a deep meaning. He nodded: "I take it every day." ”

Zidane asked again: "Is it just taking, did the coaching staff let you supplement vitamins by guò injections or blood transfusions?" ”

"No, never." Leo finally knew what his father's cautious side knock on the side of the question meant, he raised his head to look into Zidane's eyes, and said in a very solemn tone: "Dad, I assure you that I have never ingested any kind of illegal drugs in any way, except for oral vitamins. The current running speed is the result of my long-term sprint training, definitely not because of doping. I had a blood test after every match, so you don't have to worry about that. ”

Zidane was a little shocked by his son's solemn tone, knowing that the question just now hurt his son's feelings, he got up and sat next to Leo, and touched his head comfortingly: "Honey, I didn't mean that, I'm just worried about your body, afraid that the coaching staff will use secondary drugs on you without your knowledge." I apologize to you for the inappropriate questioning just now, I'm sorry. ”

Leo also felt that his tone just now was too tough, smiled and shook his head gently, and took the initiative to give his dad a hug.

For athletes, just being involved in a doping scandal and having an entire career is basically like a funeral. When Zinedine Zidane was playing for Juventus in 1998, he was investigated by the European Anti-Doping Organization because of the illegal drug scandal at the club at that time. Although there was no evidence that he had used doping, the incident did have a very significant impact on his career at the time. Moreover, the drug itself is extremely damaging to the athlete's body. As a father, he is not only concerned that his son will go astray or be mishandled by the coaching staff without knowing it.

"By the way, there's one more thing." Zidane said: "Migliscio wants to ask you for a cup of coffee, or I can ask him to come directly to the house. ”

“……”

Leo had to praise Ronaldo's foresight in his heart, the two top football agents were throwing olive branches to him through the people close to him, who was going to pick him up, Leo didn't think about this question at all.

Zidane didn't hear his reply for a while, and then said: "Migliscio is an old friend of my father for many years, and he has always worked together happily, and his ability to work is beyond doubt. ”

Leo said truthfully: "Just this afternoon, someone told me that Mendes also wanted to meet with me. ”

Zidane was a little surprised when he heard Mendes's name, and then nodded clearly: "I hope you will carefully consider making the best choice, no matter who you choose, Dad will support you." He took the notebook that he had put aside and handed it to Leo: "Take it back and take a look at it when you have time." ”

Leo took the notebook and flipped through it at will, and the handwriting was from Zidane's handwriting at a glance, which recorded Leo's shortcomings and mistakes in each game in detail, and carefully gave suggestions for improvement.

He only played 4 La Liga games, but Zidane made dozens of pages of notes, and Leo didn't have to think about it to know that his father must have watched every game of his video repeatedly. He sat beside his father with his head bowed, his heart full of emotion but he didn't know how to express it.

At this moment, Veronica came over to Zidane and said, "Leo must be very tired when he came back from Granada today, don't talk to your son too late, let him go back to his room to rest early." ”

At the urging of his mother, Leo and his parents exchanged goodnight and returned to their room. The furnishings in the room were exactly the same as when he left more than two months ago, he stood on the balcony and looked at the corner of the roof of the president's house in the distance, then went to the bathroom to take a shower, came out and lay down on the bed and turned off the bedside lamp.

Someone pushed the door in the darkness with his own hands and feet, and then climbed onto his bed, and his limp body pounced on top of him at once. Leo stretched out his arms and wrapped him in the quilt: "Little Theo, why don't you stay in your room and sleep well." ”

Theo struggled out of his arms and lay beside him in a proper manner, "I just want to sleep with you." ”
