"String your heart, my heart.

String a clover plant, string a concentric circle.

Let all look forward to the call of the future,

Be a companion while you're young..."

In the song of the Little Tigers, the Jianlibao students who have been baptized by dreams seem to have found the direction of their efforts in their weekday training.

Jukitiba is just one municipality in the state of São Paulo, with a permanent population of only about 4,500 people.

This number is just an ordinary small village in China.

Before Jianlibao arrived, there was only one football stadium in the city of Jukitiba.

There is no turf, the course is paved with clay and is not even at all.

After Jianlibao came, there was one more uneven football field.

Unlike the Jianlibao Stadium, the football stadium in Rukitiba is very formal, with an underground passage connecting the stadium to the changing rooms, and the stadium is also lit. In other words, you can also play football at night.

In Brazil, a country with a strong football heritage, there are people playing football on the football field every day.

But since Jianlibao won the first championship from Yidu City, the residents of Zhukitiba began to "shift positions", and the area around Jianlibao Stadium gradually became lively.

During Jianlibao physical training, children often come to borrow football to play. Zhu Guanghu is also very generous, and almost every time he responds to his request.

As a reward, those children often pick up some large empty Coke bottles and come to the stadium to act as an obstacle for Jianlibao students to train.

The residents of Jianlibao and Zhukitiba gradually formed a "symbiosis" situation.

Even when Jianlibao went out to fight, some residents of Zhukitiba accompanied the team to support, as if Jianlibao was their own team.

Also from a third world country, the mayor of Rukitiba also welcomes Jianlibao. When there was nothing to do, the mayor took the councilors, the president of the guild and other public officials to form an amateur team and come to Jianlibao Stadium for a friendly match.

Every friendly match is a "reward" for Jianlibao members.

Because every time the mayor comes, he will bring 30 patties made by a local patty shop as lottery heads. In order to be able to open meat, Jianlibao's young players all work hard to compete.

Until returning to China, Jianlibao had a total record of 34 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses. In other words, in the face of the city team of Jukitiba, Jianlibao has never lost.

"Cry out to the sky and say I love you,

Say to the wandering white clouds that I miss you.

Let the sky hear,

Let the white clouds see,

No one can erase the promises we have made. ”

The singing continued, and after the group physical training on weekdays, Li Hui would take Li Jian and Ou Chuliang to a reclaimed field next to them for practice.

With the help of local residents, this half of the stadium is well maintained, even better than the main stadium next to it.

Behind the goal made of three iron pipes is a high dirt slope, and there is no net, so the ball will bounce back after kicking it on the dirt slope, which is extremely convenient for picking up the ball.

It is here that Ou Chuliang and Li Jian are doing the basic movements of the goalkeeper day after day, doing some saving exercises, etc.

Since Li Hui is not a professional goalkeeper coach, Ou Chuliang gradually showed his understanding of modern goalkeepers and corresponding professional knowledge. Under Zhu Guanghu's nod, Ou Chuliang was basically the leader of the three, and Li Hui only played an auxiliary role.

Day after day, month after month.

As the time spent in Brazil increased, Zhu Guanghu and the members of Jianlibao found that Ou Chuliang was becoming more and more important.

In life, Ou Chuliang cooks, fishes, and sews broken jerseys and pants for everyone; Translators for Zhu Guanghu and Pascal and others; In all the trivial matters of Jianlibao, Ou Chuliang is there.

On the field, Ou Chuliang not only coached Li Jian to learn more goalkeeper knowledge, but also helped his teammates understand Coach Pascal's football philosophy, and personally showed some running and football skills on the field. Even when some players were injured, Ou Chuliang had to temporarily make a cameo appearance as the team doctor, helping his teammates to rub and smear the bones, etc. As for the physical recovery after the game, Ou Chuliang took the lead in teaching everyone how to relax their muscles.

In the classroom, the teacher of the cultural class is also served by Ou Chuliang. It is said to be a cultural class, but it is actually an English class. Although the spread of Ochulian's ability to speak Portuguese has gradually spread, only players who have learned English first are eligible to learn Portuguese. In the competitive environment deliberately created by Ou Chuliang, everyone's foreign language proficiency has improved by leaps and bounds. Yang Xiaoping can even chat with the driver Richard in Portuguese when he is fine. Even Zhu Guanghu and Liu Zhicai sat down during Ou Chuliang's class and listened carefully.

In the eyes of the players, the European team is no longer an ordinary person, but more like an omnipotent god. Jianlibao will find Ou Chuliang almost every big and small thing and let him coordinate it.

Especially the discussion, which has almost become Ou Chuliang's little follower. Day by day, he followed Ou Chuliang like a little tail, and what Ou Chuliang did, he learned on the side.

It's no wonder that the discussion is so dependent on Ou Chuliang, on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone is outside to set off artillery battles, and only the discussion is hiding in the bed and crying secretly.

The careful Ou Chuliang suddenly discovered the abnormality of the discussion, and after a little temptation, he guessed that the discussion was homesick.

As a result, that night, everyone else was outside watching the fireworks, and only Ou Chuliang stayed by his side to comfort the other party until he fell asleep.

Since then, the council has never cried in the bed again.

But if you don't cry, you don't cry, but deliberation has become everyone's "pistachio".

The reason is that the discussion is the youngest, and he has clear eyebrows, and everyone likes to jokingly call him "chick" or "niuzi".

The manly man's deliberation naturally stopped, and he rushed forward every time he was angry and fought with the person who called him his nickname.

The result is self-evident, and every time after the defeat, he returned to the dormitory with red and swollen eyes, and asked Ou Chuliang to rub his medicine and come out.

After a long time, the discussion fell to the title of "boxing king".

In an interview many years later, Zhang Xiaorui also told a joke to reporters in front of the camera: "At that time, there was a Brazilian reporter who interviewed us about what we did when we weren't playing. We all say; 'Eat, sleep, and fight boxing'. When asked about the discussion, he said 'eat and sleep', and the reporter asked him why he didn't fight the 'boxing king', and the discussion said angrily: 'I am the boxing king'! ”

"I want to take you to see the sea and say I love you,

Give your brightest star and say I miss you.

Listen to the oath of the sea,

Look at the persistent blue sky,

Let's be free to fall in love. ”

Although the study abroad career in Brazil is poor, Jianlibao has long learned to pursue "cheap" happiness from the ordinary life.

For example, eating a mayor's meatloaf, such as fishing in the river behind the villa, such as swimming in the pool, such as going to Jukitiba and São Paulo. Even when I went to the home of a Chinese who worked as a translator for Jianlibao for free in the local area, who grabbed the sofa when I slept at night became a matter of being a certain player for a while.

In the small and impoverished city of Zhukitiba, the closed training is boring, but it reveals a little happiness in the trivialities of life.

Everyone has the same goal, and everyone is working towards the same goal.

The sun rises and sets, and who cares how long it takes?

During this time, Zhu Guanghu led Jianlibao to play a lot of friendly matches, participated in many Brazilian folk competitions, and came back with a lot of medals.

A small competition in three days, a big competition in five days, training in competitions, and growing in actual combat.

Winter turned to spring, and this group of Jianlibao students gradually faded away from the immaturity on their faces, and were replaced by perseverance in their eyes.

In just half a year, this team has been completely different from the scattered team when it first came to Brazil, and has undergone a qualitative transformation. Even in another friendly match with the São Paulo junior team, Jianlibao defeated the opponent with a score of 4-1 and completely convinced the opponent.

For a time, among the teams of the same age group in the state of São Paulo, Jianlibao's reputation was greatly enhanced, and there were no rivals.
