In my opinion, Ronaldo is the greatest striker of all time and some of his performances at Barcelona are incredible. - Rooney

The next day, at 5 a.m.

In the streets of São Paulo, a lean figure ran past at a steady pace, the streetlights dragging his figure long, and the sound of clattering footsteps echoed through the empty streets.

Ricardo raised his hand to wipe his sweat, his gaze determined.

He has goals and dreams, so he can endure the most boring basic training.

His dream is to play with Ronaldo, and his goal is to become a world-class star himself.

Now that he has such a good physical foundation, he must not waste this talent and develop every bit of potential in his body.

When his body is close to maturity, with his skills and experience, he will naturally step into the ranks of continental stars.

With that combined with sustained hard work, it's never impossible to become a world-class star.

At half past six, Ricardo stopped running, placed a few bricks in an open space, and began to practice dribbling. He's trying Messi's dribbling style.

Compare Messi and Ronaldo, both are masters of dribbling, and both are strongmen who can single-handedly dribble the ball and challenge the opponent's entire defense.

However, Ronaldo's passing is more with his super explosiveness and speed, although the ball is more impactful, can put more pressure on the opponent's defense, and give the fans greater visual enjoyment, but it is quite a loss of his knees.

In his previous life, Ronaldo couldn't withstand that kind of explosive force in his knees, and he began to suffer serious injuries in 1999.

Messi has been playing until his thirties, without suffering too serious injuries, and his condition is quite good, and he can still break through effectively, this is because Messi's dribbling passes rely more on his brilliant small-range ball control skills, extremely fast kicking frequency and sudden changes in dribbling rhythm, once the defender can't keep up with his rhythm, he can only be played around.

Ricardo's physicality is fully capable of supporting him to play like Ronaldo. But if he wants his career to be longer and his form can be better, he has to learn from Messi's style of play.

At half past seven, Ricardo returned to Uncle Paul's house, took a shower, and had a caloric breakfast. At the dinner table, I had a few words with Stella.

He went out almost at the same time as Stella, and after going out, he went in a different direction. Stella was going to school, and Ricardo was trotting all the way to the club.

At half past eight, Ricardo trotted into the Brafonta training base. At this time, he has not yet enjoyed the treatment of a star, so that he will not be blocked by fans outside and unable to enter the training ground.

After changing clothes in the dressing room, Ricardo arrived at the training ground and found out that he was not the first to arrive. Rico was already practicing the switchback run, and judging by his sweaty training clothes, he had been training for at least an hour.

Ricardo greeted him with a smile: "Rico, good morning. ”

"Good morning, Ricardo." Rico smiled, and that smile seemed a little reluctant to Ricardo.

"What's wrong with you, Rico, what's on your mind?" Ricardo was a very direct person and had to ask questions when he had them.

"No," Rico gasped, "haven't congratulated you on scoring your first goal for the club." You had a fantastic performance yesterday, really. ”

"Thanks," Ricardo raised his eyebrows, "you haven't said anything you're up to." ”

Rico smiled bitterly: "I don't have anything on my mind." It's just a little stressful. We're in the first team together, but you've already played for the team and you've scored. I couldn't even make the big list. ”

Ricardo comforted, "Don't worry, Rico, your chance will always come." ”

"Now, even if Mr. Osvaldo gives me a chance, I may not be able to grasp it," Rico's eyes darkened a little, "I'm not you, Ricardo, I'm not a genius." ”

"I'm not a genius either." Ricardo shook his head. He is very self-aware, and the reason why he looks like a genius is because he has more than ten years of professional competition experience in his previous life.

"No, I've seen you for who you really are since yesterday's game," Rico said half-jokingly, "you're not the same kind of person as me, you're a genius, a genius like Ronaldo, just temporarily mixed in with the mortals." And I'm just a mortal through and through. ”

Ricardo smiled: "What about your dreams?" Aren't you going to make a name for yourself, get a big contract, and then wave a lot of money and play with a bunch of beautiful women without shame? You're not just talking. ”

"Of course not, didn't you see that I was training hard," Rico said angrily, "I'm not as talented as you, so I can only use training to make up for the gap." ”

"That's good," Ricardo smiled and touched Rico's head, "let's make progress together and get those old guys out of the main position." ”

Rico showed a sincere smile: "Okay. Let's pass and catch the ball. ”

……

The players arrived one after another, and Fabiano, who had been absent for a long time, appeared at the training ground, and he was doing separate practice on the sidelines with Ricardinho, who was also injured, and had not yet participated in joint training. As for Kaka, he is still resting at home, and the team doctor has not allowed him to participate in training for the time being.

Ricardo worked every training program. It's impossible to sleep in bed and wake up as a world-class star. To become a world-class player, you need to be fully involved in the sport every month, every day, every hour, and even every minute.

There is no such thing as a fluke success.

In his previous life, Ricardo almost failed to embark on the path of professional football because of his poor physical fitness. But through hard work, he eventually reached the standard of playing professional football.

In that past, he did not reject the boring basic training, but enjoyed it very much.

In Osvaldo's opinion, Ricardo did not show the slightest pride or slack because of his fame, but worked hard as always, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. He has high hopes for Ricardo, but is also worried about whether he will be too young to adjust his mentality.

Now it seems that Ricardo really has a maturity beyond his years when it comes to football-related matters.

In the intra-squad confrontation, Osvaldo asked Ricardo to retreat again from the hidden forward position and try the forward position.

The team's main striker is Kaka, which is unshakable. However, Ricardo is only 16 years old, and his body is not fully developed at this age, so he is prone to injury, and if he suffers a serious injury, it will inevitably affect his entire sports career.

In the spirit of being responsible for Ricardo, it is impossible for him to play the main team immediately, at most as a rotation.

And a player who can play multiple positions always gets more opportunities than a player who can only play in one position.
