Chapter 9: A Friend from a Century Ago

"Garrincha! Garincha Garincha!! Garrincha! ”

On the evening of the day, Raywing's club teammates in São Paulo celebrated his debut for him. (Flower Good Pastoral ML/3/3266/IML) Everyone sang the name Garrincha into a song. In a strange tune that is hard to tolerate. But that made Lei Yi feel so happy. He hooked shoulders with his club teammates with his small young body and mimicked the dance steps with his distinctive dribbling footsteps.

"Good job, little one! I knew you were going to surprise everyone when you played! ”

A player who is not yet 16 years old, and this is a player from Asia who is not yet 16 years old, has not been to any academy for a trial before that. When such a player arrives in Sao Paulo, what will the players in the Brazilian Primera squad think of him?

Oh, that's obvious skepticism, of course.

You say you're a genius? Don't tease us, football genius is not worth much in Brazil.

Even if Lei Yi is very intimidating in training, it certainly does not mean that he can score a zào in an official match.

It can be said that the head coach of the São Paulo club, Mr. Mel, is the top pressure to let the Thunder Wing enter the squad, and even ...... It was to put him on the bench at the 65th minute of the game. The player, who is clearly still a child, is so young!

Perhaps, it is the special complex of the Brazilians for the bird Garrincha and the strength of Lei Yi itself that contribute to this qiē.

It wasn't until Ray Wing scored his first goal on the field that head coach Mel knew he had won the bet.

The boy lived up to his trust!

With these two goals, he was enough to make a splash in São Paulo and in Brazil!

"If I remember correctly, you said you wanted to meet Mr. Bailey."

During the training session the day after the game, head coach Mel once again called Ray Yi to his office. Hearing his words, Lei Yi's eyes lit up.

Indeed, just a few days after arriving in Brazil, he made this wish clear to the manager.

It should be said that when he learned that Bailey was still alive, he had such a thought.

But now they are not what they used to be.

A living fossil like a milestone in Brazilian football, Pele is no longer the black kid who was seven years younger than Garrincha who would appear just by shouting downstairs in the house. Lei Yi thought about it, and felt as if it was only possible for the Tongguò club to convey such an idea to Pele.

But he didn't see the club manager at all, and the head coach Mr. Mel thought that he admired Pele very much, and because of this, he wanted to see each other. But how can Bailey, who is 97 years old this year, be such a fledgling little ghost as he can see if he wants to? So Lei Yi's request was rightfully sent back.

To be honest, Lei Yidu had already made up his mind to play for São Paulo like him, although he didn't smile often, and even in his eyes, he almost always had a dead face, but he was surprised to be quite good. The Brazilian knows the captain of the Santos team and has a good relationship privately. Lei Yi thought that he really couldn't do it, so he asked Domingostone Guò, the captain of the Santos team, to contact Pele's youngest grandson York, and convey his wish to Pele's youngest grandson.

But when he was thinking so, the head coach Mel told Sù Thunder that although he had not yet communicated his request to Pele through the São Paulo club, Mr. Pele was the manager of the club to tell him that he wanted to meet the No. 99 of the São Paulo club.

Thunder Wing: "You're saying that Bailey wants to see me!?" ”

Mel: "Call Mr. Bailey!" ”

Thunder Wing: "Alright, Bailey...... Yes, sir. So, are you telling the truth? ”

Mel: "Am I going to lie to you?" ”

Seeing that the head coach of his club was angry all of a sudden, Lei Yi just muttered and said, "Wouldn't it...... I said two weeks ago that I would play......"

Seeing that the head coach Mr. Mel was about to pick up the text on the table and beat him, Lei Yi immediately stood up straight, and looked serious and stern.

Bailey wants to see him!

Bailey wants to see him!!

After leaving the head coach's office, Thunder Wing ran out and jumped as high as he could! This thing...... It really made him happy. Although, Garrincha is no longer there, dying in the winter forty years before he was born. But in the end...... Bailey is still there. The stupid, not tall, but attacking black boy as if no one could stop him was still there.

He couldn't share that incredible secret with Bailey, but he could remember the lost bird with that man.

“Leiy,Leiy。”

As Lei Yi lay on the lawn and enjoyed the sun with his eyes closed, he felt someone block his sunlight and called out his name twice in succession. That made Thunder Wing's eyes narrow. Then he saw Dominguez, who had brown hair.

To be honest, the 22-year-old Dominguez is very handsome. A Brazilian player looks like this! This obviously made Thunder Wing feel amazing at first sight. You know, when he was with Garrincha, he thought it would be nice for the Brazilian players to grow up like Garrincha. But later, Lei Yi found out that the Brazilian boy who is now playing football ...... It seems that in terms of face alone, it is really a lot better than it was a few decades ago. Moreover, he was born into an unbelievable number of players from middle-class families.

Of course, it can't be said that Domingos only has a good face. In fact, he was very tall, with great bones and strong muscles. Strength and conditioning coaches always think that if you are a player, you have to train your body to be like Dominguez. Like him, he is not prone to injury in very confrontational matches.

However, every time the physical trainer said this, Lei Yi would feel that he seemed to be the negative example that the physical trainer failed to name.

But think about it! He was only sixteen years old! Can you make a teenager compare a teenager with a youth who is stronger!

"What's the matter? Dominguez? ”

When he said this sentence out loud, Lei Yi was still lying on the ground, not moving.

Domingos: "Did Mr. Boss finish talking to you?" ”

Lei Yi: "That's it, but I'm going to keep it a secret from you!" Hey! I won't tell you what kind of good news Mr. Mel has told me. ”

Domingos: "I'm just here to remind you that the break is over and you have to go back to training. ”

Thunder Wing: "............"

After Domingos said this, he turned and left, and Thunder Wing quickly got up from the ground, patted the grass clippings on his body indiscriminately, and chased after him.

"Dominguez! Dominguez! I mean, can't you just look more interesting? You're only 22 years old! It's only a 22-year-old boy, how can you look so boring! ”

Thunder Wing, who had long and short legs, followed behind Dominguez, who had a pair of long legs, and chattered about the other party's coldness and boredom beyond his age. After a long walk, Dominguez stopped, turned to Thunder Wing, and said, "Then can you not always be so energetic?" ”

Facing Domingos who said this, Lei Yi grinned his mouth in a very false arc, and then opened his eyes wide, slowly crooked his neck. Domingos seemed to have long been accustomed to his old tricks, and reached out and directly crumpled Lei Yi's head into a bird's nest with an expressionless face.

"Oh! That's enough! Dominguez! You can't always get my hair like this! Thunder Wing first chased after Dominguez and said this, and then howled and listened, I want to share my secret with you!!

At four o'clock in the afternoon on Wednesday, this is the time that the assistant of Belliton Guò conveyed to Lei Yi.

Perhaps it was a mood similar to the cowardice of homesickness, and the thought of seeing Bailey made Lei Yi feel an indescribable nervousness. Also, he began to have a headache about what kind of clothes to wear to meet Bailey. And how can you look valued and at the same time make the other person feel very friendly?

In this regard, Domingos, who shared this secret with Thunder Wing, came up with a nice proposal.

"Just wear the jersey. As a player, we always look our best when we wear a shirt. ”

In the end, Lei Yi accepted the advice of this friend of his. Although, as 'Garrincha', it is likely that going to see Pele in the Sao Paulo jersey will probably make him feel a little ...... Not adapting. But that may also mean a new beginning that belongs to him.

"Hello."

Guided by the nurse who took care of Bailey, Thunder Wing made his way to Bailey's bedroom.

If it weren't for Pele's illness a while ago and his health is not good now, maybe as a reckless imp, he wouldn't have been able to meet the Brazilian king in such a place.

"Hello."

After Lei Yi took the initiative to say hello to Bailey, the 97-year-old man who was lying on the bed also showed him a kind smile. Bailey's voice was old, but it was warm.

Although before that, Lei Yi had already accepted the cruel fact that the young man he had met shortly before he woke up was now a dying old man.

He even went out of his way to find some recent photos of Bailey to get used to it.

But when Thunder Wing actually met Bailey, he realized what kind of impact this scene had on him.

"They all speak your Portuguese very well. Just like you've grown up on this land since you were a child, let me not worry about not being able to communicate with you. ”

"Yes, yes!"

Having recovered himself from that distraction, Lei Yi even seemed a little anxious to give his own answer. Immediately he realized that just such a sentence could not prove to the other party that he really spoke Portuguese well, so he immediately said: "I can understand my teammates and I can understand everything, so you don't have to worry." ”

Raywing's words made Pele smile, and then continued to speak slowly: "You have Garrincha printed on the back of your jersey, and you want this to be the name that the fans call you. ”

Looking at Bailey's gaze with a little nostalgia, Lei Yi actually felt that his eyes were very hot, very hot. He nodded hurriedly, and then heard Bailey say to him:

"Garrincha is a good name, you have to cherish it."
