Chapter 564: Brazil's Future Star!
The second largest city in Brazil and the largest seaport in Brazil. Located in the southeastern part of Brazil, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the south, on the west shore of Guanabara Bay, which enters to the north, there is a 14-kilometer bridge across the bay that connects it to the city of Niterói on the east coast. Although Brazil is not small, if you want to be famous, Brazil is still famous because of football.
When it comes to this country, people think more of football, and there is a young man in the West who went to England to study, and when he returned home, he brought back two footballs and a code. Soon, the sport of football spread in Brazil. In the history of Brazil, there are many famous stars and legends. When you arrive in Brazil, you should really appreciate the rich football culture here, and football is the mainstream of Brazilian cultural life. For Brazilians, football is a sport, but it's also a culture. Whenever the league or major domestic and international matches are played, Brazilians often go to watch the game with their families, the whole city is empty, and the stadium is crowded, almost everyone is a ball, Brazilians laugh and say that "people who don't know football and don't understand football can't be the president of Brazil, and they don't get a high support rate" Barxi people believe that Brazilian football is naturally ranked in the world cultural heritage forest, and the people of Brazil call football "popular sports", whether it is on the beach, or in the streets and alleys of the city, there are people who play football. Even in the slums, children from poor families stuff their socks with paper and kick them barefoot.
Football in Brazil is all about pure technique. The pursuit of field control, the pursuit of offensive pleasure, this is also the reason why many people like Brazilian football, the West football talents, a steady stream of excellent players, thanks to its discovery and training of talent system Bar West football schools all over the country, focusing on training 12 to 13-year-old children, by excellent coaches to instill in them advanced football concepts and basic skills Bar West clubs have hired a group of experienced, keen sense of smell scouts, perennial in the football schools and competition venues "activities" found outstanding talents, Inform the club in a timely manner. After a physical examination, testing and on-site observation, the club decided whether to select the players from the western national team... It is not only to see the skills of the mobilization, but also to see whether it abides by discipline, whether it has team spirit and good character. A mobilization to gain the support of the audience in Brazil, to gain a foothold in the club... First of all, we must have the awareness of loving football and the audience, and we must go all out in every game, play our own level and style, so that the balls who buy tickets to watch the game can get spiritual enjoyment and satisfaction.
Walking around the city of Rio, football fields can be seen everywhere in the city, and boys playing on the street are basically carrying a small soccer ball at their feet... This football culture, cultivated from an early age, has ensured the longevity of Brazilian football. And on the side of an open football field, Lin Yu stopped.
A group of teenagers about 10 years old on the court are practicing, today they are practicing against each other, Lin Yu noticed that a short teenager on the field is particularly prominent, his footwork is skillful, and he can always break through the opponent's defense again and again, in contrast... The other teenagers in the field became his foils.
"He's playing great, isn't he?" An old man who was leaning on the railing on the side of the court with Lin Yu to watch the game never took his eyes off the court when he spoke, which made Lin Yu unsure whether he was talking to himself or talking to himself. The official language in Brazil is Portuguese... But the old man spoke English fluently.
"That kid is still a little younger than the other kids on the field, it's really rare to have such a performance at his age!" Lin Yu also followed the old man's example, looking at the court when he spoke, if the old man was just talking to himself, then he wouldn't be too embarrassed.
"You see he's a little short. But he's not young, in fact, he's the oldest of the kids in the group, he's 12 years old today! The old man turned his head, only to realize that it was a black-headed, yellow-skinned Asian who answered his words. He has the impression that Asian football is very slow... Very few Asians visiting Brazil will be interested in football.
"12 years old? I thought he was actually a little younger! "The boy's height also looks like it's about a meter, and it's among his peers. Such a height is indeed easy to cause misunderstanding by others. "It's a shame that if he could be a little taller, it wouldn't be a problem to play in the professional league."
The more Lin Yan looked at it, the more he felt that this little guy who played football was very familiar, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"This little guy was already playing very well when he was 6 years old, but unfortunately our environment here is too bad... Otherwise, I think he would have become a player as great as Pele. The old man said with regret.
"Do you know this kid?". Lin Yu asked curiously.
"I'm their neighbour and I often come here to watch him play when I have free time." The old man nodded.
"The football atmosphere in Brazil is still very good, compared to Asia, it is already good." Lin Yu said, "That's right, but if he can play in a better environment, I believe he will become the second Pele, no, he will create his own legend, when people hear 'Ronaldo, this name, they will definitely crown the word great, just like the current Pele." The old man said.
Lin Yu felt that something was wrong when he heard it, why was this child's name so familiar.
Suddenly..................
"Ronaldo?" Lin Yu's eyes widened, although he had hidden such a thought in his mind just now, he was still extremely shocked when he was told that the short and chubby boy on the field was the brightest star on the football field in the future.
"Is he famous?" The old man looked at Lin Yu's unusually expression, and asked suspiciously.
Although Lin Yu wanted to tell the old man that the 12-year-old boy he was optimistic about would become the pride of all Brazilians, Lin Yu kept telling himself in his heart that the current alien was just a child. His reaction just now had already aroused the old man's suspicions, so he could only find a random excuse to prevaricate the matter.
"Because I have a very good friend named Ronaldo, the two of them have exactly the same name."
It is not surprising that Chinese names appear with the same name and surname. But the English name is due to the special way it is constructed. It is rare to encounter a situation where the names and letters are exactly the same, so the old man also believed Lin Yu's statement.
"Is his home nearby?" After learning that this teenager was the future football star Ronaldo, Lin Yu's mind came alive. A bold idea popped up out of nowhere. In his memory, the alien was discovered this year or next year, but since he had met this talented player, could he do something to make such a chance encounter more interesting?
The legendary Brazilian goalscorer at the 1970 World Cup, Jagiño, was Ronaldo's mentor. In 1990, he introduced the 14-year-old Ronaldo to the Cruzeiro, and by the age of 16, Ronaldo's goal rate for Brazil's under-17 team had reached 59 goals in 57 games, and a new star began to emerge.
In 1988, at the age of 11, Ronaldo was first registered with the Valcolle Club as an Indoor Soccer Mobilizer of the Rio de Janeiro State Indoor Football Federation, registration number 23132.
In 1989, at the age of 12, Ronaldo joined Ramos Social Club to participate in the 'real' junior tournament, scoring 166 goals in one season, when Ronnie wanted to follow in the footsteps of his idol Zico and go to Flamengo.
"What are you asking about this?" The suspicion that the old man had just pressed was back on his face, and from the beginning, he felt that Lin Yu was a little weird.
"You're a scout for a football club?" The old man then thought of a possibility.
"It's a pity that my job doesn't have much to do with football, but I think this teenager named Ronaldo is very good and maybe I can help him". Lin Yu shrugged and said with a smile, he is not a scout, but he is an out-and-out money, mining stars on the football field is actually no different from investing in stocks, for Lin Yu, who is good at investment, Messi's potential stock is the most valuable investment at this time.
Snow rate is far more able to gain the trust of the other party than icing on the cake.
"Are you sure you can help that child?" The old man still has some doubts, he helps others for no reason, this kind of thing is not possible in every catty, the human guide can be born, did he really meet such a warm-hearted person today?
"If I can get to know him and his parents. I need to talk to them before I can find out if I can provide him with the necessary help! Lin Yu suddenly wanted to be a good person for "no reason", and it was really not easy.
"Lima, come to Grandpa Dumm!" While the two were talking, the confrontation on the court had ended, and the teenagers began to make some passes and catches and offensive and defensive contacts on the court in twos and threes. At this time, the practice was relatively relaxed, and the old man shouted at the court, and Ronaldo Jr. ran obediently towards the side of the court where the two were located.
"Grandpa Dam, is there something wrong?" Although after the tense confrontation just now, Ronaldo Jr. did not look like his other teammates were physically exhausted, and it seemed that the physical exertion just now was just a piece of cake for him. At this time, the alien didn't speak English, so he spoke in Portuguese to the old man named Damu next to Lin Yu.
"Lima, this gentleman next to me thinks you play football very well, so he wants to get to know you and your parents". Damm pointed at Lin Yu and said.
"Is he a scout for a club? Ronaldo Jr. asked impatiently.
"I don't think so, but he's interested in you. He said he could help you." Dam explained...
