Chapter 10: Too Much Is Not Worth Anything
At the player's tunnel.
Deng Kai carried a pocket of soccer balls and prepared to return to the locker room.
He had a lot to gain today.
"Your behavior makes me sick!"
Cristiano Ronaldo walked out of the corner, his eyes were red, and he had clearly cried: "Do you really like those stars? Or do you just want to exchange these things for money? ”
"Don't you think your actions are despicable?"
"You've tarnished football!"
"People like you don't deserve to win me! Don't deserve to lift the trophy! ”
Deng Kai shrugged his shoulders: "It's not easy for my parents to give birth to me and raise me, if I want to play football, they will send me to play football." If I want to study, they will pay for me. ”
"Although our nationality is Portuguese, we are outsiders after all. Chinese families are not having a good time in Lisbon, my father's salary is below Portugal's GDP per capita, and my mother's salary is even more meager. ”
"So I can put aside my dignity and ask the big stars to sign autographs, tell lies that they and I don't believe, and then sell these things."
"Do you think Pep Guardiola doesn't know? They know, but they're still willing to sign for me because they know how hard life is. ”
"Of course, I do feel guilty and ashamed for this behavior, but I am willing to endure this suffering."
"Because I know that when I come home with that stack of bills, my parents might be able to stay home on the weekend and rest their tired bodies and minds instead of going out and doing their second or third job."
"Is this disgusting?"
Deng Kai looked at Ronaldo.
The latter's eyes gradually drifted away.
Ronaldo had to admit that he was stunned by Deng Kai's words.
Because it's something he hasn't considered so far.
At this stage, Ronaldo has no effort or return for his family.
His family conditions are equally difficult, and it is not easy for his parents to pull so many children.
But because of his talent in football, his parents were responsive to his requests and devoted to him the most of his siblings.
So the other members of the family can feel the financial difficulties, Ronaldo knows, but can't feel it.
It's a big deal that others wear Adi, he wears miscellaneous brands, but at least some of them wear them.
The first time Ronaldo was surrounded by a severe inferiority complex and realised that it was not easy for his parents and brothers to come to Lisbon from Madeira.
That is, in the next two or three months.
That changed his personality a lot.
"I didn't say that, I was talking about your behavior on the court!" Ronaldo changed the subject, "You are a thief, you stole a penalty, you stole a victory that belongs to me!" ”
"Fake fall! Diving! Is that all you've learned in school in the past three years? ”
"You've let me down so much!"
Looking at the excited Ronaldo, Deng Kai put down the things in his hand, he walked to Ronaldo and asked, "Chris, don't you understand?" ”
"It's one thing."
"It's just an honour for you, it's just a trophy."
"But for me, it's a job opportunity and the most important step on my path to becoming a professional."
"And after I became a professional footballer, I was able to let my parents never have to work, I was able to let them return to their home countries to spend time with their relatives and friends, and I was able to let Europeans know that Chinese players can also be trained...... What we carry on our backs is fundamentally different. ”
"And, my football, why should I play the way you want it?"
"Keep dribbling, waiting to be overtaken and tackled by you?"
"I'm not as fast as you, so I should be surpassed by you, and I don't think of any other way?"
"I'm not as tall as you, so when the two of us are battling, I should just be indifferent and give you the ball?"
"My body isn't as strong as yours, so when you break through, I'm supposed to let you rush through without hindrance?"
"I'm not as good as you dribble, so when you make fancy passes, I can only applaud you and watch you score?"
"So if that's the case, what are we going to do in this game?"
"I'm going to give you the trophy directly! Because your team is visibly stronger than ours! ”
"If that's what football should look like, then I wouldn't like it."
"The only reason I love football is that even if I'm short, even if I'm weak, even if I'm slow, even if I'm not good at technique, as long as I'm willing to run hard and work hard to figure out how to use my brain, I can win a win that I shouldn't have!"
"Weak and weak kicks, strong and strong kicks, did I say that you rely on speed and body to eat raw I don't talk about martial arts?"
"I wouldn't say that misjudgment was part of the game, and I wouldn't deny that my last roll was a show, but did I really break the rules of the game?"
"If it's violated, please let the rules punish me, not with your mouth!"
Ronaldo tried to refute Deng Kai several times, but was scolded back every time.
It wasn't until Deng Kai finished saying that Ronaldo said angrily: "Weakness is not your reason, at least your method is not upright!" ”
Deng Kai shook his head: "Do you really care about being upright?" No, you don't think it's decent, it's just because you don't need it yourself. ”
"But are you really never going to need it? Can you really always play like you're crushing your peers? Even in the Portuguese Super League, in the big five leagues, in the Champions League, in the Euros, in the World Cup? ”
"No, it won't!"
"Ronaldo is going to fake a fall."
"Zidane has to deliberately take down his opponent."
"Rivaldo is going to drag his feet."
"Figo has to cheat."
"Romario is going to elbow people."
"Batistuta is going to hit the goalkeeper."
"Can you always play without getting dirty? How old are you? ”
"I appreciate your pride, but if it turns to conceit, today's failure won't be the worst defeat of your career."
"Cristiano Ronaldo, you're going to be one of the strongest players on the planet. But only if you get rid of those bad things in yourself! ”
"Today, if you pass the ball to your teammates one more time, you will be the one who will take the championship trophy."
"Remember the four times you were stolen by me?"
"You didn't give me the ball, you gave me the trophy."
Deng Kai left after speaking, leaving Ronaldo alone in the passage.
Deng Kai made a turn at the end of the passage, but as soon as he turned around, he saw Guardiola.
He apparently heard it all.
Guardiola's face welled up with tears as he heard in Dunkai's words the struggles of a teenager with little physical talent, and the responsibilities of a mature child to his family, just like Guardiola himself.
But if he is stronger, faster, taller, he will not be at the back, he will become the heart of the front court like Zinedine Zidane, a contender for the Ballon d'Or.
In recent years, he has not been plagued by injuries, so he has begun to be defined as a purgeer by the Barcelona hierarchy and missed this World Cup.
What Deng Kai said, Ronaldo may not understand, but Guardiola understands it too well.
"Need me to sign some more names for you? No matter how many, a hundred. "Pep Guardiola is extremely gentle.
"Of course you can, thank you, but ...... Three or five is fine. Deng Kai nodded.
"It's okay kid, my hands don't hurt." Guardiola still wants to sign a few more for Deng Kai.
"No, if there are more major signature footballs, they are not worth much in the market." Deng Kai politely refused, "Why don't you ask your teammates to sign some and send them for me?" My address is ......"
Pep Guardiola's bare head has a bulge of bruises.
But Zhen Nyima has business acumen.
So Guardiola found the organizers, paid for some footballs, and after signing them all, he personally packed the football and Deng Kai and sent them to the taxi.
After doing this, Guardiola immediately dialed Van Gaal's phone.
He has a complicated relationship with the manager, who promoted him to captain Barcelona and also fancied him as a midfielder in the number four position, seeing him as the team's playmaker.
But at the same time, some of Van Gaal's ideas are contrary to Guardiola's.
And he is not very good at dealing with players, and even if the players he has worked with start to be close, most of them will break up in the future.
As a result, Pep Guardiola has kept his distance from Louis van Gaal.
But this time he didn't care about that.
He felt that La Masia should take the child.
Although Deng Kai is not a talented and talented player, his philosophy of doing whatever it takes to win is a perfect fit for Barca.
Because Barcelona, which has soared all the way from youth to the first team under the concept of possession first, will need such non-technical players sooner or later in the future.
After answering the phone, Van Gaal said that he would contact the head of Barcelona's academy.
But I can tell that he doesn't pay much attention.
