(This book has been signed, please rest assured to collect and recommend)

I'm not the right one to judge Ronaldo, I'm his biggest fan. I was just starting my career in Brazil when he was already a "phenomenon" in the world of football, and it was a dream of mine for a long time to play for the same club as him. - Kaka

When the smell of alcohol and marijuana in the room cleared, Ricardo sat down at his desk. ON THE DESK WAS AN OLD-FASHIONED COMPUTER, WHICH WAS TURNED ON AND ENTERED THE WINDOWS SYSTEM THAT WAS NOT MANY VERSIONS OLD. Fortunately, he has the memory of the original owner of this body, so he can fiddle with this antique thing.

After successfully landing and connecting to the Internet, Ricardo began to search the Internet for video highlights of Ronaldo's seasons.

Once you've found the resource, start downloading.

The network speed in this era is still very slow, and the slowest network that Ricardo has used before is Gigabit fiber, and he feels very speechless about this 512K network.

The waiting time is boring. Looking at the progress, it will take more than two hours to finish, and Ricardo plans to simply go out and play football.

There is certainly no shortage of soccer balls in the home of a soccer teenager. He quickly put on his jersey and sneakers, and it didn't take much effort to find a Nike soccer ball from under the bed, rub it upside down, and just like that, open the door with the ball, and slowly walk out.

Football never landed. His technique is very good, and this body has also received formal football training, and the ball feeling is very good, so it feels like a fish in water when the ball is juggling. He had the illusion that if his muscles weren't tired, he could go on like this until the earth was desolate.

There was no one else in the house. Uncle Paul's family should have gone out to watch the game, there was a home game in Sao Paulo this afternoon, and Ricardo forgot who the opponent was.

Most of his youth team mates should have rushed to watch the game after training, and he was the only one, hiding in the house, using alcohol and marijuana to anesthetize himself.

Blame the damn reporter.

When this thought came out, it startled Ricardo, as if the original owner was still in this body, lingering like a ghost.

But he soon realized that this was just the resentment of the original owner. He doesn't have to fight for control with the original owner like in Xiuzhen's novel.

From now on, he is the sole owner of this body.

Turning the ball down the street, Ricardo noticed that many fans passed by in groups of threes and fives, and their expressions were elated.

It should have been the previous match, Sao Paulo won without a hitch.

As Brazil's industrial, financial, and cultural center, São Paulo, a city with a population of more than 23 million, is a real-life tale of two cities – a fantasy city with street samba and a carnival of 10,000 people, and a city of despair full of crime and poverty on the other. In a city of 30,000 millionaires and 3 million destitute people, some people fly helicopters to work, while others can't afford a soccer ball. The huge contrast convinced the children of the slums that the only equality that this world brought them was the moment they stood on the court. Football is the most important thing in this city, and there is no one.

Although Ricardo was not born in the slums, he was not far off. If it weren't for his brother Ronaldo becoming a football star and making the whole family rise, maybe his alcoholic father would have led the family to the abyss.

At this time, Ricardo saw fans wearing "8" jerseys all over the street. This era...... It should be the days when star Kaka played for Sao Paulo, known as the jewel of Sao Paulo, this handsome teenager is loved by all Sao Paulo fans, even after his move to AC Milan next summer, Sao Paulo fans have never forgotten him.

Until the end of his career, when he returned to Sao Paulo, countless fans wore his number 8 shirt to greet him.

Speaking of which, Ricardo and Kaka are also fateful, and Ricardo's father in his previous life was a crazy fan of Kaka, so he was named Licardo.

Ricardo flipped the ball and walked towards a clearing in his memory.

"Ricardo! Ricardo! Ricardo! ”

It wasn't until the other party shouted three times that Licardo realized that he was calling himself. When he looked back, he saw a tall, dark-skinned boy running towards him and waving to him.

"Rico!" Ricardo thought for a moment and correctly called out the black teenager's name, "What?" ”

After running to stand in front of Ricardo, Rico could only gasp slightly. His gaze lingered on the constantly bouncing football for a moment before he looked at Ricardo: "Ricardo, why haven't you come to training again?" If you continue like this, Mr. Mauro will fire you. ”

In the words, there was sincere concern, and Licardo could naturally hear it, and his heart was warm. He smiled and said, "I'll be training from tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow again?" Rico was clearly unconvinced.

"Really, I'll definitely go tomorrow. I won't miss training again. Ricardo said.

"That'...... Well, see you tomorrow. Hope you cheer up soon, Ricardo! Ignore the gossip and hit them back with your performance on the pitch! Rico said sincerely.

"Thank you!" Ricardo responded with a smile. When he was in trouble, almost the whole world turned against him, and only a few people stood firm by his side all the time, including Rico. "Goodbye! Hurry home! ”

"Goodbye."

Rico turned and walked a few steps, only to realize that during the conversation just now, the football on Ricardo's foot had not landed.

He immediately turned his head to see that Ricardo was still juggling the ball, slowly but surely walking into the distance. This ball feels...... It's amazing.

"It's Ronaldo's younger brother...... Rico muttered.

……

As he walked towards the clearing, Ricardo was still thinking about what had happened recently. Originally, the original owner was a rising star of the São Paulo youth team, although his physical fitness and skills are beyond his peers, but he is low-key and never advertises that he is Ronaldo's younger brother.

But in an era when the media is so developed, this can't be hidden, so everyone who should know knows it.

Because of this, some of the children in the team envy him, some want to get close to him, and some people hate him and try every means to slander him and reject him.

None of this is a big deal. Although the original owner is introverted and sensitive, he cares a little, but this is a hurdle that can be overcome.

Until a reporter from a tabloid newspaper investigated the original owner's mother, Li Mei, and found out that she had leaned on the door to laugh.

Ronaldo's stepmother turned out to be a technician? The news continued to make headlines, and many sports media outlets rushed to pick it up.

And some of the original owner's ill-intentioned teammates also used the news to attack him and mock him.

After all, the original owner is just a teenager, psychologically fragile and sensitive, and since then his state has declined, he has lost his position, he has been punished for fighting with his teammates, and he fights with people when he goes to a bar to buy drunk...... In a very short period of time, he went from a fiery new star to a wasted man on the verge of being expelled.

This is the story of the original owner. It's not complicated, it's sympathetic.

And now I'm here. Ricardo clenched his fists, and everything would have been different.
