Cruzeiro was eliminated, and Ronaldo was leaving with the team.

Before leaving, he wore a pair of black and red Assassin boots at his feet and a black and white soccer ball in his arms.

Originally, Li Jinyu wanted to suggest that everyone sign the football with a marker pen to commemorate the beautiful Sino-Pakistani friendship, but Ou Chuliang vetoed it.

For a Brazilian teenager, football is meant to be played, never collected.

The football that Ronaldo took away was brand new, but he left his autograph on Ou Chuliang's old football.

After exchanging contact information, Xiao Luo reluctantly said goodbye to Ou Chuliang and Jianlibao's team members, and took the bus back to Port Alegre.

"Brother Ou, do you think we can meet again?" Li Jinyu looked at the thin body leaning out of the car window and getting farther and farther away in his field of vision, and asked with a long sigh.

"You'll have a lot of opportunities to see him in the future." Ou Chuliang replied.

Looking at the football with the word "Ronaldo" written on it in his arms, Ou Chuliang carefully sighed, wrapped it in a plastic bag, and added softly, "On TV." ”

Years later, it became the only football in the world to be signed with the word "Ronaldo".

Jianlibao's game is not over yet, and the day after qualifying, Jianlibao and Argentina Independiente started a fierce semi-final on the same court.

With Ou Chuliang guarding the back, the players in various positions of Jianlibao attacked the opponent like a tiger descending the mountain, vowing revenge for the group stage.

In the end, with the goals of Sun Zhi and Li Jinyu, Jianlibao reached the final the next day 2-0.

After the win, the players chanted and they were one step closer to the championship.

"This is our last game before we leave, we must win a trophy and take it home!" After returning to the hotel, Zhang Ran raised the atmosphere in the room.

"Yes, yes, my mom and I have agreed that we will bring the champion of this competition back to her as a welcome gift!"

"That's right, there's also a little committee!" Yang Xiaoping, who is close to Hao Wei, also shouted: "This time he was hospitalized and did not participate in the competition, we must win a championship, we can't let that kid be flattened!" ”

In the past 20 months in Brazil, Jianlibao has learned not only technology, but also cooperation, philosophy, thought, and most importantly, self-confidence!

Since the reform and opening up, domestic football technology and concepts have been backward, resulting in many players not being confident themselves. When facing some so-called Asian powerhouses, they tend to be timid before they fight. Coupled with the rendering of fans and the media, many games that could have been won could have ended up with a draw.

On the one hand, the fans are very demanding of the men's football team, hoping that they will play a good game and a winning result; On the other hand, they are also well aware of the lack of strength of the national football team, and they will shout for accountability as soon as they are a little "wind and grass".

Ou Chuliang and Zhu Guanghu naturally know this, so after coming to Brazil, they have been building confidence for the players all the time. In terms of results, it is clear that it has been quite effective.

Now that they are about to return to China, the players are even more excited to scratch their ears and cheeks. On the one hand, I want to fly back to the arms of my relatives as soon as possible, and on the other hand, I want to show my achievements as soon as possible.

Under the leadership of Zhang Ran, a room of students shouted: "Champion, champion, champion, champion!! ”

"Boys, be quiet, be quiet!" At this time, Li Hui walked in with a smile.

"I just spoke with your coach Zhu on the phone, Hao Wei is recovering well after surgery, and he will be discharged from the hospital in another week!"

"Yay! Hao Committee, Hao Committee, Hao Committee, Hao Committee!! The team members chanted Hao Wei's name in unison.

After everyone shouted enough, Li Hui spoke again: "There is also good news that Secretary Li Yingtie, who is visiting Brazil, will come to visit us here tomorrow. So we must win the next game, and play our Jianlibao's spirit in front of Secretary Li, is it clear? ”

"Clear!" The crowd shouted in unison again.

This time, Ou Chuliang frowned and did not shout with his teammates.

"After that, we're almost ready to go back home. Flights are probably booked in mid-June, and it won't be long before everyone can go home! Tell me, are you happy? ”

"Happy !!"

"!!Oooo Home, home, home!! ”

The cheers in the room reached a boiling point, and who wouldn't be happy at the mention of going home?

At night, Li Hui called Ou Chuliang alone in the Taoist courtyard. Leaning against the fence, by the moonlight, he lit a cigarette.

"Xiao Ou, time flies so fast, and you have grown into a young man."

"Yes, Coach Li, 20 months have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Homesick?"

"It's okay." Under the moonlight, Ou Chuliang nodded.

In his vague memory, there was only a spacious compound with a black and white football. The original owner of the body in this life grew up in the company of these two things.

"Xiao Ou, it's hard for you in the past 20 months, I'm a chef and a translator, and I haven't left behind in training, it's just too hard. Jianlibao can persist until now, they don't express their position, I have to replace the people above and thank you. ”

"What did Coach Li say, I am a brick of Jianlibao, where I need to move it, how can I say that it is hard!?" Ou Chuliang hurriedly excused himself.

"Okay, good, good, you have such an awareness at a young age, and your development will definitely not be low in the future!" Li Hui smiled and patted Ou Chuliang on the shoulder, "Xiao Ou, tomorrow's game is very important to you, no matter what, we have to win the game." Got it? ”

"You worry more about the back, see who can't tell me in time, I'll replace him. We have to make sure the defense is safe first, and then look for opportunities to attack and win the game in one last move. ”

Ou Chuliang smiled slightly after hearing this, snorted, and replied softly, "I know, coach." ”

"Okay, you know." Li Hui nodded, "I can't trust others, can't I trust you?" You're the most sensible person on the team, and I'm sure you can do it. ”

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Ou Chuliang put his legs together and made a military posture.

"Okay, then you go back and rest first. By the way, help me call out Sun Zhihe and the two of them. ”

Ou Chuliang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Coach Li, I played a game for a day today, and it was so late, everyone probably went to bed in advance, after all, there is such an important game to play tomorrow." ”

Li Hui took two puffs of cigarettes, spit out two puffs of smoke rings casually, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll tell them two sentences, it won't take much time." ”

Ou Chuliang paused, and wanted to say very much, "I'll take you to convey anything you want." But looking at Li Hui's appearance, he still swallowed this sentence back into his stomach.

"Okay Coach Li, I'll call them." Ou Chuliang answered softly, then turned and walked into the door of the hotel.

"A big river, wide waves. The wind blows the rice and flowers on both sides..."Under the moonlight, Li Hui beat the beat and hummed in a low voice.

In front of the hotel, Ou Chuliang took one last look at Li Hui's comfortable appearance and shook his head.

Evil is the most terrible if you don't know it.

Ten minutes later, Ou Chuliang lay on the bed, looking at the wide-eyed, bloody discussion book and opened the door of the room.

"Brother Ou, I..."

"Turn off the lights and go to sleep." Ou Chuliang drank sharply and interrupted the discussion mercilessly.

The discussion was stunned, and although he didn't know what was going on, he still tapped his hand at the switch on the wall.

With a click, darkness filled the room with silence.
