Chapter 8: The First Team

As a defender, I think Ronaldo is the kind of striker you don't want to be up to at any time because he has the potential to work miracles at any time. - Costacuta

"You two, report to the first team tomorrow." As he spoke, Rojas kept paying attention to the expressions of the two.

Unlike Rico's ecstasy, who kept saying "thank you, thank you", Ricardo's expression was indifferent, just "en", as if he had heard something natural.

"Arrogance." Rojas thought to himself. When you get to the first team, you will understand the gap between yourself and the real pros. At that time, your confidence was destroyed, and you were still willing to continue on the path of football?

There are thousands of teenagers who love football, and they can enter the club echelon. When entering the U18 echelon, it is often only one out of ten echelon players who will remain.

Entering the U18 echelon is equivalent to entering the professional hall? Don't think so. How many players who were once famous in the giant U18 club now have no ball to play, so they can only find a job and play amateur games with peace of mind!

"Ricardo, the punishment for you is not over, to the first team you are still training alone, understand?" Rojas's voice became stern.

"Yes, sir." Ricardo said helplessly.

In Rojas's ears, he is weak and does not want to forge ahead.

"Hmph. Let's go. Rojas turned.

Rico excitedly put his arm on Ricardo's shoulder: "Haha, it's time to run!" Maybe we'll be able to play in the first team soon, get a professional contract and become a star! Let's go, let's celebrate! ”

"No, Rico, I'm going to practice." Ricardo said with a smile.

Rico's expression crossed, and his thick lips grew, revealing white teeth, a stark contrast to his dark skin. "Why?"

"Because I'm Ronaldo's younger brother," Ricardo joked in all seriousness, "so I can't disgrace my brother." From now on, I will practice every day. ”

The second half of the sentence is true.

Rico couldn't understand it, but he still blessed Ricardo and left first, and he couldn't wait to tell his family and friends about his selection in the first team.

Licardo walked to the gym, he wasn't up to the mark today. He still has a long way to go in developing muscles that are strong, injury-producing, and flexible. What's more, he was only 16 years old at this time, and his body was not yet mature, so he had to exercise in moderation and science.

While Ricardo was sweating on the exercise equipment, Rojas walked in with a small notebook in his hand.

Seeing Ricardo, he was stunned for a moment and blurted out: "Why don't you go back yet?" ”

Li Cardo responded with a smile and said indifferently: "I want to become a good professional player, and training is a must." ”

Rojas was silent for a moment, and he had to admit that the child's expression now made him feel happy. This is the expression of a motivated child.

But he still kept a straight face: "You are still young, your body is not yet shaped, you can't overtrain!" Be obedient and go back! ”

Ricardo smiled charmingly: "Thank you for your advice, Mr. Rojas, but I am measured and do not let myself be overtired, please trust my professionalism." ”

Believe in your professionalism? I'm afraid I've believed in ghosts. You're not even a professional footballer, and you're professional!

Rojas didn't bother to complain. However, he felt that Ricardo should not have the perseverance to practice every day, but not to waste his body. And from tomorrow onwards, Ricardo will not be in his hands. So he just nodded and walked away in silence.

After the equipment training, Licardo ran to the training ground again, fiddled with some equipment, and practiced high-speed dribbling and passing. He stuck on time, didn't let himself get too tired, and wanted to get the best out of his training.

The training equipment in SΓ£o Paulo is still too old. No, the training equipment in the whole world is now relatively old. But, this is the time, and Ricardo can only adapt.

In the evening, Ricardo went to take a shower, change his clothes, and prepare to go home. The Ericsson phone in his pocket lit up slightly. He took it out and saw that there were several missed calls and several unread text messages.

"Ricardo, why don't you answer the phoneβ€”Julia."

"Ricardo, if you don't answer the phone, I'll ignore you. - Julia. ”

"I really have something to look for you, call me back. - Julia. ”

"Bastard! Die! - Julia. ”

Expressionlessly, Licard tucked his phone back into his pocket.

Julia is a little girl on the original owner's bubble and a classmate of Stella. The two of them dried the vegetables early and broke through the last boundary.

But Ricardo didn't plan to take over the original owner's order. When it comes to women, he's ruthless. In his life, only football is the most important. So he simply can't maintain a long-term relationship with a woman.

Chasing a woman? It's too troublesome, it's too much time waste, it's better to watch the ball.

Accompany your girlfriend shopping, watching movies, chatting? It's too troublesome, it's too much time waste, it's better to kick the ball.

So after experiencing a few breakups in his previous life, he stopped falling in love, and when he had physical needs, he found a small model or star who had a need for him for a while, or went to a nightclub to hook up. Although he has experienced countless women, except for his first love, he has never really been attracted to anyone.

His passion is all focused on football, and he has no interest in running a family, getting married, and having children.

……

The next day, Ricardo rushed to the training ground of the first team. It didn't take him much trouble to find the locker room, where the original owner had sneaked in.

When he entered the locker room, he realized that he was not the first to arrive.

A handsome, young, god-like face appeared in front of him with a bright smile.

"Kaka! Hello! Ricardo smiled and greeted first. After all, Kaka is a big star now.

"Hello, Ricardo!" Kaka responded enthusiastically that he was injured and could not participate in training, and he came to greet Licardo today, "I heard that Ronaldo's younger brother is coming to the first team, and I was so excited last night that I almost didn't fall asleep. Your brother is my idol! ”

"He's also my idol, he's not on the planet, he's the best footballer of all time." Ricardo was delighted to meet Ronaldo's fans here and to get a big blow with Kaka.

Fans will soon become familiar with each other when they say good things about idols.

When the others came in, they saw Kaka and Ricardo talking and laughing. This scene did not surprise them. Even the latecomers greeted Ricardo warmly.

And when he arrived in the locker room, Rico didn't have this treatment, and he was almost forgotten in the corner......

People are realistic. Ronaldo is the world's number one player, how many people want to have a good relationship with him but can't? Of course, these professional players will not give Ricardo a look on their face, and they will not bother to tout a few words and show goodwill, what does it matter.

After all, not only Kaka, but also Ricardinho, Cheni, Fabiano, Baptista and other Brazilian national team internationals or fringe internationals are all people who want to hug Ronaldo's thighs.

Therefore, Ricardo, who was given a cold reception in the U18 youth team, was warmly welcomed by the team leaders on the first day of his first team...... Although he has not yet shown his strength.
