Chapter 52: It's a Newspaper
Ricardo calmly looked at the photo on the front page of the newspaper, which showed a man and a woman, the man reaching out to put his arm around the woman's waist, and the woman fell limply in the man's arms, looking like she was sweetly embracing.
The male protagonist in the photo is himself. Well, the angle is well chosen, and it looks quite handsome.
The heroine only showed half of her face, and her chestnut hair was scattered, and Ricardo recalled the beautiful moment of last night almost instantly, saying that the woman's figure was really amazing, and she felt very good......
"I ask you, what is this!" Osvaldo spoke sharply, interrupting Ricardo's divergent thinking.
"It's a newspaper."
Osvaldo's mouth crooked: "I'm asking you what this newspaper contains!" ”
"Oh, here's a picture in the newspaper of me holding a woman, well, it seems like that's it." Ricardo said.
"So what is this?" Osvaldo's finger almost poked a hole in the newspaper, and Licardo's gaze stayed on where he pointed, which was a nightclub sign.
"It's a nightclub sign." Ricardo replied honestly.
"You know it's a nightclub!" Osvaldo trembled with anger, "How old are you?" Now your mind is full of lights and wine, and you want to be a woman? Sperm in the brain? Do you want to play football well? If you have this attitude, I tell you, go back to me wherever you came from! ”
Ricardo listened quietly, not explaining that he hadn't actually been drinking, nor had he had anything to do with the woman in the photo.
Osvaldo dropped his hand holding the newspaper and squinted at the photo above it, with the headline in bold black: São Paulo's star of hope meets in a nightclub.
"I'm disappointed," Osvaldo's voice lowered his pitch and no longer seemed so agitated, "tell me, who took you to the nightclub?" ”
At this moment, Fabiano and Ricardinho and others were nervous.
"Do you still use someone to take it, of course I went by myself." Ricardo didn't look at it and replied with a chuckle.
"I'm disappointed in you." Osvaldo emphasized.
After a pause, he said, "You don't have to follow us today, I won't put you on the big list." You don't have to practice with us, just go and practice by yourself. Depending on how you do in training, I'll think about when to give you a chance to play. Let's do some introspection first! ”
"Okay." Ricardo was concise, without rebuttal, without pleading, not to mention that now is the critical period for his contract extension, and he needs a stable chance to play to get a good contract.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable because Osvaldo didn't trust him enough to punish him just because of a blurry photo in the tabloids, he just silently walked to the corner of the training ground, picked up the football and trained.
Osvaldo's cold gaze swept to the other players: "If I know who took him to the nightclub, I will also be punished by the suspension of the team!" ”
The players were silent, and no one dared, or willing, to intercede for Ricardo.
Even Kaka, who had always protected Licardo, closed his mouth after hesitating for a while. In his opinion, it was Licardo's fault to go to the nightclub before the game, and it was fair that Licardo deserved to learn his lesson.
As for Ricco...... Rico smacked his mouth at this time, thinking, "Don't call me when driving, it's too late to find my brother if something happens!" ”
And Fabiano, Ricardinho and others did not dare to speak, so as not to provoke the fire.
It wasn't until lunchtime that Fabiano and the others approached Ricardo one by one to express their condolences to him and their gratitude for not betraying his companions.
Ricardo responded with a nonchalant smile, seemingly not at all distressed by being banned from the team.
In fact, of course, he was a little unhappy, but there was no need to show it to others. Seven emotions on the face, that is the practice of foreigners, Chinese pay attention to joy and anger is not visible.
And Ricardo is still a Chinese at heart.
So he hid his unhappiness deeply and responded with a smile.
"Don't worry, I will work hard with you, you can stay at home and rest with peace of mind!" Rico's eyebrows fluttered, Ricardo was removed from the squad, and he was selected again.
Rico was born in '81 and is now 21 years old. In Brazil, where players generally became famous earlier, he is already considered an older youth, but he has not played for the first team in official matches so far, and the pressure on him is also huge. Kaka, who is a year younger than him, has already been selected for the national team.
Due to Kleber's poor performance in training, another youth team player was also temporarily drawn into the first team and selected for the squad, this youngster is called Tardelli, in Licardo's memory, this gentleman will go to China to play in the future, play for the Luneng team, is a well-known striker in the Chinese Super League.
However, Ricardo did not have a good relationship with Tardelli when he was in the youth team, so the two did not talk much.
During afternoon training, Ricardo took a break to observe Rico and Tardelli's performance.
Rico's speed is very fast, his small skills are not bad, and his dribbling is also passable, but his shooting skills are really a little lacking. Now he has changed to a winger, as Osvaldo advised, and if he can survive, he still has a chance to come out.
Tardelli was still too immature at this time, and he was a little nervous to be selected for the first time in the first team, and he didn't play much, but it can be seen that the technical foundation is still good. This gentleman was later selected for the Brazilian national team, and at his peak he was almost at the peak level of a national-level player, and he never entered the continental level, but he was not bad.
However, judging from the fact that Rico and Tardelli were both selected for the squad, Osvaldo despised the Bahia team in his heart, and simply regarded Bahia as an opponent for training.
Playing away with such a mentality is not necessarily a good thing.
In the afternoon, when Li Cardojia returned to Uncle Paul's house after practice, Uncle Paul immediately complained for him: "The tabloids now are really too much, chasing after the wind." ”
Uncle Paul knew that Ricardo had not returned late last night, and had neither brought the woman nor drank.
Stella sneered beside her: "Flies don't bite seamless eggs, it's not that he didn't act properly enough to give others the opportunity to catch the wind and shadows." ”
Uncle Paul frowned and asked Ricardo again, "You haven't been affected by anything, have you?" ”
"A little impact," laughed Ricardo, "Mr. Osvaldo removed me from the squad. ”
Uncle Paul frowned again, and it took a while to stretch: "After playing so many games in a row, you just need to relax, and that's not a bad thing. ”
"That's what I thought," said Ricardo against his will, "don't worry about me, I'll adjust as soon as I can." ”
