"Hey, dude!" Ronaldo stepped forward warmly and hugged him.

"Ronnie! Long time no see. "This man is obviously Ronaldinho, one of the 3R groups that contributed to Brazil's 2002 championship and the football elf born of the football kingdom.

Ronaldinho's real name is also Ronaldo, Ronaldo. Asis. Morality. Moreira. The name Ronaldo is very common in Brazil, but because there is a more famous Ronaldo, everyone calls him Ronaldo Jr., and Ronaldo Jr. is pronounced Ronaldinho.

In fact, the name printed on the jersey worn by Ronaldo at the 96 Olympics is Ronaldinho, because at that time there was an older Ronaldo who occupied the name "Ronaldo".

But as Ronaldo's fame grew, he became the only Ronaldo that people recognized.

"This is your brother," Ronaldinho smiled kindly at Ricardo, "what should I call you?" Ricardo? Or do you call you Richie? ”

Richie is Ricardo's nickname.

"Call me Licardo. It's a pleasure to meet you, Ronaldinho, and I really enjoy watching you play. Ricardo smiled and held out his hand.

Ronaldinho did not formally shake hands with Ricardo, but gave him a high-five. "I've seen some of your game videos, and they did play well, just like your brother did when he was a teenager."

Ronaldo laughed: "He's so much better than when I was 16 years old!" I wasn't a regular in the first team at the age of 16. ”

"You two Ronaldo are the best players on the planet, and I'm happy to be half as tall as you are." Ricardo said modestly.

"Half? That's not enough, I'm counting on you to be our helper at the World Cup in four years' time. Ronaldo laughed.

The three of them walked to the table with a smile and a smile, and from time to time they were greeted by Ronaldo, who responded enthusiastically and introduced Ricardo to them.

There are a few of them that Ricardo actually knows, such as Dida, Giulio. Cesar, Cafu, Robert. Carlos, Juninho Jr., Rivaldo, Emerson, Adriano, etc., he had a brief exchange with these retired ones in his last life.

But at this time, he still pretended to meet for the first time, and his inner feelings were very complicated.

During the meal, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo exchanged in a whisper.

"What do you think of Barcelona?"

Ronaldo frowned: "That's a great club. But you know, I wasn't having a great time there. ”

"You got your first World Footballer of the Year there, and it was Barcelona that made the whole world know you." Ronaldinho said.

"Yes, but there are some people in the club...... It's really not easy to get along with," Ronaldo asked rhetorically, "Did they contact you?" ”

Ronaldinho nodded: "They contacted my agent and said they were sincere in wanting to take me to Camp Nou. They pay a very good salary and I want to play at a bigger club. ”

Licardo was under the impression that Ronaldinho would move from Paris Saint-Germain to Barcelona this summer. At Barcelona, his footballing talent was on full display and soared higher and higher, winning the World Footballer of the Year Award in 2004 and 2005 and the Ballon d'Or in 2005.

However, with the rise of Messi and the decline in his form due to his own nightclubs, Ronaldinho gradually lost his position and later transferred to the declining AC Milan.

So without waiting for Ronaldo to speak, Ricardo interjected: "You are the right choice to go to Barcelona." There you will be one of the best stars on the planet. ”

"He's already one of the best players in the world," Ronaldo said with a smile, "Listen, man, listen to your agent's opinion." ”

"Of course my agent advised me to go. I don't want to transfer him for any extra income," Ronaldinho's pair of buckteeth were completely exposed, "I just want to hear from you, you know I have a lot of respect for you, Ronnie." ”

Ronaldo thought for a moment and said, "My opinion is that you should go. When a club like Barcelona calls you, all you have to do is say yes. ”

"I see, I'll think about it carefully," Ronaldinho looked at Ricardo again, "What about you, Ricardo, where do you want to play in two years?" ”

"Inter, of course, with my brother." Ricardo replied without hesitation.

"Yes, Inter Milan are big clubs, but the Serie A defence is fierce and you have to be ready. Your little arms and legs, you need to work out again. There were also Serie A teams who offered me invitations, but I turned them down, knowing that I didn't fit the style of Serie A. Ronaldinho laughed.

"I think I can fit in."

"You're confident!" Ronaldinho's eyes lit up, as if he had reacquainted himself with Ricardo.

After lunch, Ricardo and Ronaldo returned to their room, ready to take a nap and refresh themselves for the afternoon training.

They were still chatting about the past with or without a match, and fatigue gradually came up, and Ricardo's eyelids were fighting, when suddenly there was a knock on the door of "tuk tuk".

Ronaldo jumped out of bed, opened the door, and said with a little surprise: "Sir? ”

Ricardo immediately guessed who the visitor was, jumped out of bed with a rumbling, and sure enough, he saw an old man with gray hair and a serious face walking in. It was none other than the meritorious coach of the Brazilian team, Andreas Pereira.

He nodded slightly at Licardo, and then suddenly put on a kind smile and looked at Ronaldo: "I have another chance to coach you." ”

"I am glad to have this honor to be guided by you." Ronaldo was respectful and invited him to sit down at the table.

For Ronaldo, Pereira has a good understanding, he brought the 17-year-old Ronaldo to the World Cup in the United States, allowing the latter to lift his first Hercules Cup at the age of 17.

However, it was his conservatism that allowed the 17-year-old Ronaldo not play even a minute in the '94 World Cup.

Despite leading the team to the World Cup, Pereira is still not trusted by the Brazilians because of his conservative and stubborn style, but he has been very good in coaching in recent years, and his rivals have no intention of making a difference, so he is only the third time he is the coach of the Brazilian national team.

After sitting down, Pereira's eyes finally looked at Ricardo. "Do you know why I called you to the team?"

So straightforward?

Ricardo was unprepared and didn't know how to answer.

But Pereira himself continued: "You made a big impression on me in Sao Paulo against Corinthians. I've been keeping an eye on you since. Maybe you're not quite at the level of being selected for the national team, but I'm willing to give young people like you a chance. ”

"What's more," Pereira glanced at Ronaldo with a smirk, "Ronaldo has called me so much, it would be too unkind if I didn't say yes." ”

Ronaldo touched his bald head and smiled.

It turns out that he was able to be selected this time, thanks to Ronaldo? Ricardo had mixed feelings. On the one hand, I was a little frustrated, but I was also a little grateful to Ronaldo, and then I felt lucky, and I was suddenly opened. No wonder he was able to beat Robinho, Elber and others who performed equally well.

Regardless of the reason for your selection, you must put on a good performance and try to stay. Ricardo swore to himself.
