"The Galactic Battleship takes off! The Blues were defeated in Moscow. ”

"Hat-trick in the final! Licardo became a god in a battle! ”

"Best player, top scorer, Ricardo has two individual accolades."

"With an average of 1 goal and 1 assist per game, 4.3 dribbles and 5.2 dangerous passes, he deserves to be the best player."

'Manuel Pellegrini: We are strong and we will defend our title next season.

'Mijatovic: The team is perfect, there won't be any big moves in this transfer window.

"Florentino: I don't know if Ronaldo is interested in joining the European champions."

"Ricardo: We are the strongest on the planet. It would be great if Ronaldo joined, not afraid of competition. ”

The media are still consuming the heat of the final Champions League final, with the players already leaving the squad and on leave.

Ricardo would love to fly back to Brazil right away, but he still had a series of commercials and photos to shoot, several TV shows to attend, and a few galas to attend.

As a top star who won the double for a second time and won the double this season, he is now in the limelight. Due to his handsome appearance and youth, his current market value is even comparable to that of the old football king Ronaldo.

In August, he still had to go to Asia, Lao Yang helped him develop the Asian market, he always had to show up and attract a wave of fans.

On the TV show, he talked eloquently: "...... I said a long time ago that the two young players I am most optimistic about are Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Now they are really my biggest competitors. Next season, they will also be the ones who can pose the biggest threat to our title defending. It's always fun to play against these high-level opponents, and it's because of them that football doesn't get lonely......"

Once back at the hotel, he was so tired that he didn't want to move his fingers. But in such a situation, he still insists on training every day.

After a while, he finally had time to go back to Brazil.

After two days at home, he came to Botafogo to listen to a report on the development of the team over the past six months.

Botafogo finished third in the Rio State Championship and is currently ranked 6th in the national championship, with a decent result, just one point away from the top four and expected to win the Copa Libertadores next season.

The $25 million transfer money that Ricardo allocated at the start of the season has almost been spent, most of it for younger players. Another purpose of Ricardo's trip is to invest another $8 million in transfer funds to fulfill his promise.

After a meeting with the club's hierarchy, Ricardo, led by vice-president Jaylzinho, toured the team's new training equipment, the new training ground for the youth team, etc.

On the sidelines of the youth team's training ground, he saw a teenager with a non-mainstream hairstyle, and he smiled slightly. The boy had skills far beyond his peers, a near-perfect ball sense, and often played three or four people in a row on the training ground.

The youth coach quickly stopped the training, and the children gathered around with excitement and fear.

Ricardo greeted them, and finally his gaze fell on the non-mainstream teenager: "What's your name?" ”

"I'm Neymar!" The non-mainstream teenager puffed up his chest and replied loudly, "Licardo, can you take a picture with me?" ”

"Of course." Ricardo smiled.

Jayl Zinho, who was next to him, introduced Ricardo: "We paid $5 million to poach this kid from Santos, and his agent is a vampire, but luckily we now have full ownership of him." His skills stand out among children of his age, and if you have seen him play, you will know that he is a true genius and that his future achievements may not be inferior to yours. ”

'If he's so good, let's put him in the first team next season and I'm sure he'll be able to handle it.' Ricardo smiled.

Neymar smiled in surprise and almost rushed up to grab Ricardo.

Ricardo fulfilled the group of young people's requests for a photo and autograph, and then went around the training ground of the lower age group.

16-year-old Neymar, Coutinho, Casemiro, Alisson, 11-year-old Jesus and Malcom, they are Botafogo's biggest asset. On them, the club spent more than ten million dollars.

To beat Inter Milan, who are also interested in Coutinho, Botafogo paid $4.5 million.

The price of digging Casemiro is relatively small, after all, Ricardo and São Paulo have an unusual relationship, and only pay a symbolic $500,000.

Alison switched from Brazil International for $1.1 million.

As for Gabriel Jesus and Malcolm, neither cost much.

When they mature and operate in Europe, Botafogo will be profitable.

Ricardo will not let them go to Europe too soon, such as Coutinho, if it weren't for Inter Milan for so long, it is estimated that he would have played out a long time ago. When they are in their 20s and mature technically and physically, it will be better for them to come to Europe.

Botafogo, on the other hand, will absorb a lot of European elements in training and management, so that these players can seamlessly integrate after they travel to Europe.

In addition to these little guys, Ricardo also met with the young players from China. The second batch of Chinese young players has arrived, this batch is 4 people, and there are still no outstanding seedlings among them.

But Ricardo wasn't disappointed. There are so many Chinese people, there will definitely be so many geniuses, as long as you keep looking, you can always find them.

There are two older players, too. Ramirez bought from Cruzeiro and Thiago poached from Fluminense. Silva, the two of them spent a total of $13 million. They are the backbone of this Botafogo team and have excelled in the league.

Of course, Ricardo is well aware that Botafogo will not be able to keep them for long, and they have already attracted the attention of many big European clubs.

Ricardo was well aware of the strength of the two of them and wanted to introduce them to Real Madrid, but Real Madrid no longer had a non-European quota and they could not obtain EU passports, so they had to give up.

After his trip to Botafogo, Ricardo heads to the beaches of Rio de Janeiro to enjoy the winter sun, sand and beauty.

The happy days were short-lived, and soon it was time for the Brazilian team to assemble.

In the two warm-up matches before the World Preliminary Championships, Ricardo did not participate, but in the World Preliminary Championships in mid-June, he still responded to Dunga's call-up.

On 15 June, Brazil, without Ronaldo, drew 2-2 away to Paraguay. Kaka scored twice and the stars shone brightly.

Three days later, they returned to their home stadium with a narrow 1-0 win over Argentina, with Ricardo scoring the only goal of the game. Brazil continues to lead the South American standings in the World Qualifiers.

After the match, Ricardo was about to go on vacation when he was stopped by Dunga.
