The Day I Played with Ronaldo

When he returned to Uncle Paul's house, Ricardo was warmly welcomed by Uncle Paul. "I heard that you have been promoted to the first team." Uncle Paul smiled heartily, his beard shaking all over his face, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Ricardo was not surprised that Uncle Paul knew the news. After all, he had been training with the first team for the past two days, and many fans saw it. "Sorry, Uncle Paul, I just hope to tell you one day when I can actually play for the first team."

"Hehe, come on, Ricardo, maybe by this time next year we will be able to see you representing the first team!" Uncle Paul patted Ricardo's shoulder with a hand as fat as a bear's paw.

Licado felt that his bones were about to fall apart. He forced a smile, thanked Uncle Paul politely, then went back to his room and surfed the Internet for a while. He didn't come out until dinner time and sat down in the dining room.

In front of him was a dinner plate and a glass of juice. Uncle Paul raised his glass and said with a smile: "Today is a day worth celebrating, but you are an athlete, so you can't drink alcohol, just drink some juice."

Licado picked up the juice.

"I wish you an early appearance for the first team! Cheers!" Uncle Paul clinked glasses with him. If he knew about Ricardo's performance today, maybe the congratulatory speech would become "I wish you a goal for the first team as soon as possible".

"Thank you!" Li Kaduo took a sip of the juice and found a pair of beautiful big eyes staring at him unfriendly.

He wiped his face subconsciously, and said in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Shi Dela looked away, lowered her long eyelashes, and muttered in a low voice: "How is it possible, just like him, as long as the head coach is not blind, it is impossible for him to play."

"Shitela!" Aunt Glenna said sternly.

"Am I wrong?" Shi Dela said disdainfully, "I only know that one person is reckless with the ball and has no sense of cooperation, so he can score a few goals in the youth team. How can he play like this in the youth team?" Playing with the first team."

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but Licado smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to watch my youth team match, and you know me so well."

Stella's expression froze.

Li Carduo did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but buried himself in eating.

...

There are two days left, and it is the day when Sao Paulo will challenge Atletico Parana away. Osvaldo walked into the training ground calmly, and no one could see the pressure in his heart from his calm face.

After announcing the start of the training, he looked at Ricardo: "Ricardo, you should come and participate in the joint training."

This is a good signal, Rico winked at Ricardo.

Licado smiled, but replied flatly: "Okay."

Throughout the morning, Osvaldo didn't speak to Ricardo again, but in fact he has been paying attention to Ricardo's performance in training.

The first impression Ricardo gave during training was that he was serious. All the requirements are meticulously fulfilled. It seems that this is not a boring basic training every day, but chasing dreams in the Champions League final, earnest and devoted.

The second impression is that the technology is really good. I feel that he has no shortcomings, and his left and right foot skills are balanced. Stopping, ball control, dribbling, short pass, long pass, shooting, header, etc. are all above the standard, which is not like a player of his age. You know, he is only 16 years and two months old.

The third impression is fast. so fast. The speed is really fast. Although he is only 16 years old, no one in the team seems to be able to match him when it comes to speed. Perhaps only Kaka can keep pace with him. Should it be said that Ronaldo's younger brother has the same genes? Ronaldo is also known for his speed. It is said that he can complete the 100-meter run in 10.4 seconds. As for Licado, it should be 11.1 seconds now. At his age, it's amazingly fast.

In the afternoon, Osvaldo began to speak to Ricardo frequently, often calling off training and telling him a piece of tactical content.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Ricardo is very likely to get a chance to play in the near future. Some people are envious and jealous, some are sincerely happy, and some are neutral.

In Brazil, there has never been a shortage of talented youngsters. There are many people who become famous around the age of 16 or 17. Pele started his professional career at the age of 16, was selected for the national team at the age of 17, and led the team to win the World Cup at the age of 18. Ronaldo also started his career at the age of 16, was selected for the national team at the age of 17, and won the World Cup as a substitute player at the age of 17.

Will Ricardo be the next rising star?

After the training, Ricardo stayed for additional practice.

While he was working on the machines in the gym, Osvaldo walked in. "Ricardo."

Ricardo did not stop his movements. "What's the matter, boss?"

Osvaldo stood in front of him, looking at him with interest: "Do you practice more every day?"

"It started a few days ago, but I will practice more every day in the future." Licado grinned.

"Pay attention to the intensity of training and don't get injured," Osvaldo warned. "What number do you want to choose? The jersey number."

Riccardo thought for a while: "No. 30." This is Kaka's jersey number in his debut season.

Osvaldo showed a bewildered smile. "Very good. What about the name printed on the shirt? Neither Ricardo nor Ricardinho can be used."

This time Licardo said without hesitation: "Licardo, L-i-c-a-r-d-o." Changed Ricardo's Ricardo by one letter.

Osvaldo nodded, remembering it by heart. In Brazil, it is normal for players to use nicknames and other printed jerseys to represent themselves. For example, Kaka's real name is not Kaka, but Ricardo; Pele's real name is not Pele, but Edson Arantes do Nascimento.

So Ricardo wants to call his jersey "Licardo", absolutely no problem.

"Go back to rest early and ensure adequate nutrition and sleep." He seemed to be saying something gossip, but Ricardo interpreted another meaning from it: It seems that he has a chance in the match against Atlético de Parana on the weekend. out.

...

For today's extra practice, Licado shortened the time. Not because of Osvaldo's words, but because of the first round of Serie A today. Due to the dispute over broadcast rights, this season's Serie A games have been postponed until September 14.

Ricardo returned to Uncle Paul's home early, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked Uncle Paul who had just got off work: "Can I watch the live broadcast of Serie A? I want to watch my brother's game."

Uncle Paul said briskly, "No problem."

Shi Dela said on the side: "I want to watch it too." She has just finished school. Although it is spring in the southern hemisphere, she has already put on a short skirt that just covered her buttocks, and her plump breasts are bulging. The tight-fitting clothes showed off her perfect figure.

Ricardo turned a blind eye to her budding sexiness. At the moment, his mind is full of football, and he just wants to see Ronaldo's performance quickly.
