I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 10

On Thursday, February 2001, 2, less than a month before Kaka recovered from his injury, three of the ten wishes he made on the hospital bed have come true, and now the fourth is about to come true.

This is Sao Paulo's home stadium, Morombi Stadium. The ongoing game is the first stage of the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship. The two sides are Sao Paulo and Botafogo. The score is 0 to 1.

According to international practice, the home team is in the front, the visiting team is behind, and Sao Paulo is one goal behind at home.

The football market in Brazil is not good, because the domestic TV broadcasting is very developed, everyone prefers to watch the game broadcasting at home, and almost all famous Brazilian players have been snapped up by European giants. At present, the famous players in domestic football are either some rising stars who are still growing up or some former superstars who have come back to retire, and their appeal is very limited.

Therefore, apart from some more important games, the attendance rate of many games in Brazil is very low. Even if it is the home game of Sao Paulo, which is a strong team in Brazil, the attendance rate of this game is only about two-thirds.

It doesn't sound like much, but Morombi Stadium has [-] seats, and two-thirds of the attendance is already the envy of many small clubs.

Sao Paulo, who was playing at home, was attacked by the opponent in the opening 10 minutes and scored a goal. Then they stormed around the opponent's goal throughout the first half, but they failed to score.

Alvarez walked up and down the sidelines, yelling at the players on the court, but it didn't help. His team was still under pressure.

"São Paulo were in trouble, Alvarez looked helpless, it was the best he could come up with, but his players were unmotivated... Shot! Fantastic save! Cheney reacted quickly, he saved the team again, but you can't win with a goalkeeper, they had to make a change... Sure enough, Alvarez went to the bench and Sao Paulo was going to make a substitution."

"Sao Paulo has a player warming up, huh? Who is this? Well, just kidding. Of course I know who it is. I'm a professional commentator... Wait, I'll look at the information first, oh, I found it, a midfielder from the Sao Paulo youth academy. His name is Ricardo Izeksen dos Santo... Forget it, look at the back of the jersey. His name is Kaka. This year is only, um, born in 82. He is 19 years old, maybe 18 years old? This is his first game, Alvarez must be It's crazy, what Sao Paulo needs now is a hero, not a child, not every teenager is Ronaldo."

Of course, Alvarez didn't know that his decision to substitute had caused the narrator to complain wildly, and he was now seized the last time to give Kakar an order.

"Listen, Ricardo, I know a lot of people think I'm crazy right now, but I know I'm not, you go up and tell Luis to put him on the last defender, I don't want to see him drop back, and you, I believe in my eyes, I believe you can do it, I need you to revitalize our center, pass the ball to connect the two sides, you have to run, like you did in the training game, use your speed to disrupt their midfield, pass the ball into the penalty area, understand?"

"……not understand."

"God, tell me, what are you going to do when you play?"

"Kick the ball into the goddamn goal."

"That's right, go warm up, remember, you have to run..."

Kaka could no longer hear what Alvarez said later. His body seemed to be out of his control. His ears and mind were full of shouts from the fans. Those people might be encouraging him, or they might be laughing at him, but he couldn’t hear a word clearly, and he didn’t want to make it clear. He could feel everyone’s eyes were on him.

He warmed up as fast as he could, then stood on the sidelines, and the fourth official held up his sign.

No. 8 off, No. 23 on.

The popular numbers 7 to 11 in the Sao Paulo team have already had owners, and even 22 has been worn away. Kaka chose to choose 23 in the end.

Flying boots haven’t happened yet, Shuai Guobei is still No. 7 of Manchester United. The current influence of the number 23 in the sports world is only limited to the basketball field, and it has no special meaning in football.

In addition, the name on the back of his jersey was originally "CACA". In terms of pronunciation, it is actually no different from the "KAKA" that fans all over the world are familiar with. These two names do not exist in Portuguese, so there is actually no difference. However, the word "CACA" is a flavorful word in Spanish and Italian, so he changed "CACA" to "KAKA".

In the 8th minute of the game, the ball went out of bounds and the Sao Paulo team made a substitution.

High-five with the teammate who was replaced, step forward with the left foot first, step into the field, squat halfway, brush the turf with the right hand, stand up, then heel with the right foot, and trot forward.

In 5000 years, it was finally my turn to play.

It's a pity that the system is a prudence, and achievements such as "First appearance on the field" are not triggered.

Life is not a movie, and Kaka’s appearance seemed unremarkable. Apart from the on-site DJ’s careless replacement introduction, what greeted him was only confusion and doubts from the audience. There was no passionate and exclusive BGM, no shameful inner monologue in the second year, and no close-ups that would allow all audiences to see every fine hair clearly.

He was inexplicably a little nervous, feeling like he was dreaming.

The wind blows on the face, not cold, but a little hot.

The same goes for the heart.

There was sparse applause from the stands.

Kaka's parents and younger brother were all sitting in the stands, and Falcao, Fred, Sanchez and other friends who played street football together also came to watch the match. They didn't think Kaka would have a chance to play at first, especially when the team fell behind.

This coach either dislikes Kaka extremely, or has given up the game, and is completely a dead horse as a living horse doctor. This is almost everyone's thinking.

The game restarts.

Kaka trembled a little.

A small part is due to nervousness, mostly due to excitement.

Under such pressure, some people will tremble and surrender, while others will take off against the current and soar into the sky under this kind of motivation.

He knew that he was the latter, and could only be the latter.

Because he is Kaka.

He is very modest, but that is only because of self-cultivation; he is very gentle, but that is only because of character.

The real him is full of courage, with knives in his eyes, and never begs for mercy.
