I'm Kaka Kaka

Chapter 4 Be Pretty

Brazil is the country of football, and men and women playing football can be seen in the streets and alleys. Here, playing football is not only a hobby, but also a means of earning a living and a shortcut to fame.

Football has gone deep into the blood of the Brazilians.

Unlike many players who were discovered by scouts after showing their talents on the street, and also different from many peers who needed to play football to get out of the slums, Kaka's football path did not have an inspirational or legendary beginning.

His father is a civil engineer and his mother is an elementary school teacher. The family’s living standard is not considered rich, but it is also higher than that of ordinary well-off families. Kaka studied in a private missionary school since he was a child.

Since Kaka showed his football talent at the age of eight, he entered a formal football school to receive professional training. While taking care of his studies, he was successfully promoted from the Sao Paulo youth team to the youth team. This kind of background and experience allowed him to never have to turn around for a new pair of sneakers, and he did not have to sleep all night to get a football. Therefore, he has never had an intersection with the very down-to-earth term "street football". On the contrary, he has been exposed to indoor football of a similar nature.

Street football is not limited to the streets. Beaches and parks are also the main battlefields. These places not only have the ancient gods such as Pele and Garrincha, but also the superstars such as Robinho and Suarez who will become popular in the future. .

The so-called viewing is to play beautifully.

This is not only for better pretense, but also to prepare for future honors such as the Golden Globe Award and World Player of the Year. You must know that the selection of these awards depends not only on the results on the court, but also on the influence off the court and the popularity of the players. Please sit down, Sneijder and Ribery. I know you have something to say, but now is not the time for you to come out.

People who play good football are of course more popular than those who don’t. So Ibrahimovic has become a top superstar even if his team honor is not so top-notch. The German legend Gerd Müller, who has created a series of scoring records, is not even as famous in the world as his funny junior with the same name.

In other words, if Feng Xian, who can make fairy balls into highlights, can also have the number of goals scored by Ronaldo and those championship titles, then the president will probably only be the second, third, fourth, and fifth in the world in his life.

Kaka has also operated in Shaosao, but most of them focus on various high-speed crotch piercing and heel piercing. The most common highlight moments are long-distance raids all the way with fire and electric flowers and long-distance shooting with hundreds of steps piercing the Yang. In addition to kicking a man's car over the head and flipping Manchester United's masterpiece is full of spirituality, what people feel at other times is mostly explosive physical talent rather than heaven-defying dribbling skills.

…………

It was the weekend, which happened to be the rest day of the youth team. Kaka came to the famous Independence Park in Sao Paulo.

The name of the Football Kingdom is not for nothing. People playing football can be seen everywhere in the park, including children, adults and even the elderly. It seems that there is no way to live without football.

Kaka wore a Brazilian national team jersey with no number printed on it, wandered around, and finally came to an open space by the side of the square.

There are many spectators around here, and the sparse ones in the middle are divided into many teams, and they are fighting in teams.

Kaka, who was wearing jerseys and sneakers, just walked over, before he had time to take a good look, a tall and thin guy waved at him and shouted: "Hey, buddy, come here quickly, there are few people on our side, and the game will start soon."

Kaka quickly responded and trotted over.

These are obviously two small teams put together improvised, with five players on each side, kicking wickets, no goalkeeper, and everyone wearing any kind of jersey. Looking around, there is no pair of jerseys among the nine players, which is quite rare.

"Enough people, let's start."

When all the people arrived, they started kicking, which made Kaka a little dazed.

"Hey, buddy," Kaka said to the buddy who called him over, "what position do I play?"

"Position?" The young man gave him a strange look, "Do you know about Total Attack and Total Defense?"

"……learn."

Kaka responded, feeling a little disappointed.

I know you guys are unprofessional, but I didn't expect it to be this unprofessional.

Even in China's amateur courts, when everyone starts working, they will be divided into forwards, defenders, or even wingers and midfielders, okay?But it's also very weird over there. When I was young, I couldn't find a place to play football. When I grew up, I couldn't get enough people to play football...

Soon his disappointment deepened, and he even began to wonder if there was any point in wasting his training time going to this kind of place to watch a group of rookies peck each other.

Messy running and poor coordination are understandable, but the ball-handling skills that he values ​​most are all kinds of flashy, barely proficient.

Forget it, they're here anyway.

With this mentality in mind, Kaka ran over to the opponent who was riding a bicycle, and pulled the ball to his feet with a clean tackle.

The one in possession of the ball was still complacent about stepping on a bicycle five times in a row in a historic manner, but he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Kaka rushed towards the opponent's goal with the ball like a gust of wind, and passed the opponent's defensive player with a simple flick and dunk. He is more Messi than Ronaldo.

As a quasi-professional player, Kaka surpassed everyone on the spot in terms of physical fitness, reaction ability, and technical foundation. In such an amateur stadium, he was as dazzling as a firefly in the dark.

So the good study turned into abuse, and the one-stop sequence of steals, breakthroughs, and shots was repeatedly staged.

To be honest, it's quite dishonest.

The friends on both sides were stunned, and many spectators also noticed a strange guy mixed into the venue.

Many people gathered around.

There were applause and applause at the beginning, but soon there was no sound.

This guy is powerful, but his kick...is not good-looking.

He even passed the person with a change of direction or an acceleration, and there was no false action in the shot, and the pass was also dry.

Not artistic at all.

Everyone couldn't stand it anymore and left one by one. Kaka also experienced the supreme state in the world of pretense, "the heroes hold back their hands, their fronts are empty." Just about to find an excuse to escape, an old man on the sidelines who was watching with relish suddenly shouted: "Hey! Brat! The one with the national team jersey! Come here, over here."

Kaka came over inexplicably and said, "What's the matter?"

The old man probably had just been substituted while playing football next to him. He wiped off his sweat and said, "Go to that field, this is not the place for you to stay."

Kaka's eyes lit up.

Or how to say that in addition to a fat man, every story also needs a grandfather.
