Chapter 12 First Team
When the first team head coach Osvaldo and assistant coach Mauro left the youth team training ground, the youth team players didn't recover for a long time.

They couldn't accept this reality no matter what-that rookie who had only been in contact with football for more than a month would be spotted by the head coach of the first team and thus get the opportunity to train with the first team!
When the first-team coaches and assistant coaches come to the youth training ground, everyone is jumping for the chance to go to the first team.

No one regards Rong Guang as his opponent.

Some players who are outstanding in the youth team and have performed well in the youth team game feel that this first-team spot must be in their pocket.

But who would have thought that when the dull and powerful drumbeat sounded again, things would take a fundamental turning point!

Under everyone's surprised eyes, Rong Guang got the chance to play in the game!

Then he also got the personal guidance of the assistant coach Mauro.

In the end...he even managed to win the favor of head coach Osvaldo, and was brought to the first team by Osvaldo!

It's like a fairy tale of Cinderella - a person who is not favored at all, but is held by the prince in the end...

This makes many people who feel that they can attract the attention of the head coach and be promoted to the first team feel aggrieved.

It's just that it's hard for them to express their emotions in front of the coach of the youth team.

After the training was over, Rong Guang continued to stay on the training ground to practice passing and receiving the ball vigorously.

The others returned to the locker room, ready to leave.

In the locker room, they could finally talk freely about the fact that Rong Guang was transported to the first team by shit.

"What does the head coach of the first team think? How can such a rookie go to the first team? Are we all inferior to that rookie?"

"I went to the first team after only studying for more than a month. I don't even know how to write it!" the youth team striker Kleiber snorted.He was replaced by Rongguang during the game, and in the end Rongguang became a first-team player, which made him feel sad.He thought that if Rong Guang didn't replace him, then the place to go to the first team should obviously be his.

Lucas couldn't help retorting when he heard this: "At least they have the qualifications to die in the first team, what about some people? They don't even have the qualifications—"

"Shut up, substitute!" Kleber yelled.

Among the talented strikers of the youth team, Lucas Sutton is a substitute, obviously he cannot compare with the main forwards such as Rico and Kleber.

Lucas ignored the loser Kleber. He looked at a group of very unhappy teammates. For some reason, the scene of training with Rongguang appeared in his mind.Thinking of his amazing learning ability that rivaled his speed...

So he said with a smile: "How about it, guys, do you want to start a bet? Just bet on when Rong Rong will return to the youth team. The odds after one game are [-] to [-], after two games are [-] to [-], after three games are [-] to [-], and the odds of not returning to the youth team are [-] to [-]!"

Everyone laughed when they heard him say this: "Lucas, it is admirable to support friends, but you can't go bankrupt! Will you be able to afford it?"

"Then you don't have to worry about it. Anyway, I always have a way. Does anyone want to place a bet?"

"Go, why not go?" The first person to stand up was Kleiber. "Since Lucas insists on sending money to all of us, we can't let him down. I bet [-] reais and bet the Chinese kid will return to the youth team after one game!"

Many people gasped—Kleiber really hates Rong Guang... Such a big deal all of a sudden.If Rong Guang really rolled back to the youth team after one game, it would mean that Lucas would have to pay Kleber [-] reais!
Kleiber is adding insult to injury!You must know that the five thousand reais is basically his salary for two weeks...

He used all his two weeks' salary to hit Lucas, and tried his best to make Lucas pay [-] yuan.

This is the rhythm that even Lucas hates together.On the one hand, it was because Lucas was Glory's friend, and on the other hand, it was because Lucas just sneered at him and hit his sore spot.

But Lucas didn't care, narrowed his eyes with a smile, and spread his hands: "Okay, please bet the money first."

Kleiber snorted: "Who will bring five thousand reais with me? I'll give it to you tomorrow!"

"Don't lie, Kleber."

"I should have told you this sentence, Lucas. One hundred thousand reais is not a small amount, so don't renege on it!"

Lucas ignored him, turned to the others and said, "Anyone else? Anyone else? Anyone want to bet?"

But everyone else, spooked by the big stakes between Lucas and Kleber, hesitated and finally dismissed the idea of ​​joining in the fun.

Now it is obvious that it is the grievances between Kleiber, Rong Guang, and Lucas, and there is no need for them to get involved.

Although they were not happy to let Rong Guang enter the first team, even if they made a bet, how could they get the bet?
The first thing Lucas has to consider is Kleber's [-]. As for their little money, he doesn't know if he can get it.Or maybe even Kleiber's [-] won't be available...

This matter has gone beyond the scope of simple "small gambling and fun", so they should stay away from it.

Godot was surprised when he heard that Rong Guang had been selected for the first team.

Even if he really hoped that Rongguang could enter the first team as soon as possible and perform well in exchange for a more lucrative professional contract, he never thought that Rongguang would become a member of the first team in just over a month...

"What does the first-team manager ... Osvaldo think?" he asked.

"I performed well in the game and shocked the head coach, so I entered the first team!" Rong Guang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, seemed confident, not at all worried that he would perform badly after going to the first team.The result of being selected into the first team made him very excited and gave him more confidence. He believes that it proves that his hard work has paid off and his talent has been recognized.

"You actually played a game?" Gordo glanced at the time and date on the center console of the car, he wondered if the time passed too fast, months passed in a blink of an eye and he didn't know.

Otherwise, how could Rongguang participate in the competition?

He has been doing basic training for almost two months, and he has never played a game, whether it is a youth team game or a training game within the team, he has never played.

Why are you playing games all of a sudden?Still playing in front of the first-team manager.

So Rong Guang told his manager everything that happened in the afternoon training.

Godot listened in amazement.

All this can make Rong Guang be favored by the head coach of the first team. Rong Guang has been really lucky recently...

However, Gordo worried that the competition in the first team would be too fierce, and he would not be able to bear the pressure after Rong Guang left.And the most important thing is that the first team doesn't have basic training, so what can they do even if they go to the first team at Rongguang's level?

Turning his head to see Rong Guang's elated expression, Godot suppressed all those worries in his heart and didn't say anything.

Let him be happy now...

At this time, sports news programs were put on the car radio.

"Kaka's injury has affected the hearts of tens of thousands of people. After being injured two weeks ago, he has been recovering from his injury and did not participate in the team's training. If he cannot play in the 'solemn derby' against Corinthians, it will be a heavy blow to Sao Paulo. With Ricardinho and other players injured one after another, Kaka is Sao Paulo's last guarantee..."

"Rong, your opponent is such a powerful character that everyone is looking forward to." Godot pointed to the radio and laughed.

Although Corinthians made him very upset about the glorious things, he is a supporter of Corinthians for many years after all, so his respect for Kaka is not as high as that of Sao Paulo fans, and there is no respect and love in his tone.

Rong Guang had just been promoted to the first team, and now his confidence was at its peak. He smiled: "Isn't that better, Godot? Who would target nobody?"

Rong Guang's first day of training with the first team was memorable, so he looked positive.

Gordo sent him to the parking lot of the Brafunda training base, and when he saw Rong Guang open the car door and wanted to go down, he planned to tell this excited kid who didn't sleep well all night.

He originally wanted Rong Guang to keep a low profile and be humble in the first team, so as not to cause trouble.

But the words have become: "Don't be weak in front of the stars of the first team!"

The meaning is completely different...

Maybe it's because he also hopes from the bottom of his heart that Rong Guang can play in the first team as soon as possible...

Rong Guang gave Godot a victory gesture: "Look, Godot!"

Then he happily ran to the locker room of the first team...

On the way to the locker room he meets Rico.

There are actually only two players that Osvaldo Oliveira named and took away from the youth team, one is Rong Guang, and the other is striker Rico.

Because the injuries of the first team are mainly concentrated in the midfield.

Because of Lucas, the relationship between Rico and Rongguang is pretty good, unlike other youth team players who see Rongguang as seeing enemies.

Rico can still chat with Rong Guang for a while.

So Rico is the person Rong Guang is most familiar with in the first team.

"Riko, you seem a little nervous?"

Rong Guang was keenly aware of it.

"Aren't you nervous, Ron?" Riko asked.

"What's there to be nervous about?"

"This is the first team! The first team! It's completely different from the youth team!" Rico repeated "the first team".

"Will the first team players eat us?" Rong Guang asked.

"Uh...it won't be. But they are all stars, maybe they are not easy to get along with?" Rico said with a frown.

Rong Guang patted him on the back forcefully: "What are you thinking about so much, Rico? Let's talk about it when we really find that they are not easy to get along with!"

"That's right..." Rico felt better after hearing Rong Guang's words.

So the two young people began to look forward to the situation in the first team.

In a sense, they can only enter professional football if they enter the first team.

The two walked into the locker room talking and laughing.

It was found that many first-team players were in the locker room.

For some reason, Rico's awe of the first team rose again, and his smile disappeared immediately.

Only the glorious and cheerful laughter remained.

His voice stands out without Ricko on the side.

The first-team players in the locker room stopped what they were doing when they heard the laughter, and turned to look at the door.

When they saw Rong Guang appearing with a smile, the expressions of several people changed slightly.

Rico observed this change in expression very keenly.

In his imagination, if the stars of the first team welcome them, they should be smiling, but the expressions of these people looking at Rongguang don't seem to be very happy...

Even if they were all expressionless, the concentrated appearance of this kind of expression made Rico feel a little worried.

Moreover, the eyes of those players could almost be caught by the naked eye, Riko clearly felt that they were looking at the glory around him, while he...was completely ignored.

It's as if they don't welcome this kid from the youth team very much.

Rico's heart skipped a beat—what he was worried about still happened.

But it didn't happen to me, but it happened to Rong Guang.

But what he couldn't figure out was that these first-team stars didn't know Rong Guang. Why did they have such unfriendly expressions and eyes when they saw Rong Guang for the first time?
Of course he didn't know that Rong Guang had been despised by many first-team players for wanting to use Kaka as a target.And now, someone has told these first-team stars about Rong Guang's identity in advance.

So those first-team stars looked at Rong Guang, but they were actually looking at an idiot who was so arrogant that he wanted to challenge Kaka.

Who looks at an idiot with friendly eyes?
The first-team striker Reynaldo stood up from the locker room, walked to the door, and stood in front of Rongguang.

His actions attracted others in the locker room, some looked nervous, while others were smiling and crossing their arms for the show.

"Are you the kid who claims to defeat Kaka?" Renaldo looked at Rong Guang with disdainful eyes, and the disdain in his tone was even worse.

Seeing this scene beside the two of them, Riko took a step back involuntarily, almost terrified.

Are the stars of the first team all so hot?Straight to the point right from the start?Is this the rhythm of a big fight if there is a disagreement?

Rico is already thinking about whether to help Rongguang or run away when the fight really starts later...

Rong Guang stared back fearlessly, looking at Renaldo.

At this moment, a tall and mature man appeared between the two of them. He first stared at Reynaldo with a serious face: "No, no, no. Reynaldo."

The voice was deep and dignified.

Reynaldo was much more honest in front of him, and the arrogance he had shown before immediately weakened a lot.

He didn't say anything, just gave Rong Guang a hard look, walked around Rong Guang, and walked out of the dressing room.

Then the tall and majestic man turned around and smiled at the two youth players, Rong Guang and Riko: "The first team welcomes you. There are too many injured players in the team, and we need your strength very much. I am Rogerio Cheney, the captain of the first team, and also the goalkeeper of the team."

As he said that, he stretched out his hands. Those are really big hands. No wonder they are goalkeepers...

Rong Guang and Riko shook hands with him respectively, feeling the strength of his knuckles.

"You can come to me for anything, and I'll help you find a solution." Cheney continued enthusiastically and kindly.

His attitude made Rico feel relieved, not all the stars of the first team are so difficult to get along with.At least the captain is pretty good...

"I heard about you." Cheney looked at Rong Guang and smiled. "It's a good thing that young people have fighting spirit and lofty goals, and I don't think Kaka will feel unhappy about it. Come on!"

Rong Guang didn't expect the captain of the first team to be so talkative. He was ready to fight with that guy who didn't like it anyway... Children from the mountains, no one is afraid of fighting!

Unexpectedly, as soon as the captain came, he could eliminate the tense atmosphere with a few simple words.As expected of being the captain...he is very dignified in the team.

And because the captain didn't ridicule or humiliate his goal, Rong Guang had a very good impression of Cheney.

Cheney patted Rong Guang on the shoulder: "Come on, let me introduce you to everyone. In fact, they are all easy to get along with... This is Luis Fabiano, the main striker of the team."

He pointed to a thin black young man and said.

Fabiano crossed his arms and leaned against his locker. His face was cold and not enthusiastic, but he didn't feel disgusted either.

Cheney said with a smile: "Louis is such a person, you just get used to it, in fact he is not bad." He turned to a tall, strong, dark-skinned man next to Fabiano.

"This is Julio Baptista, the midfielder of the team."

He pointed to the big man and said.

The big black man grinned, showing a mouthful of teeth as white as those shown in toothpaste advertisements, and smiled at Rong Guang and Ricko, "Hello."

He is more enthusiastic.

Next, Cheney pointed to a tall white man with long flaxen hair. "Diego Lugano, the central defender of the team, from Uruguay."

"Okay." Lugano's greeting was perfunctory.

In this way, Cheney introduced all the first-team players currently in the locker room one by one.

But no Kaka.

"Kaka was injured, and I don't know when he will recover..." When it came to Kaka, Cheney was worried.

With Ricardinho, the midfield playmaker, injured, Kaka is Sao Paulo's biggest reliance.

Perhaps because he realized that he was in a bad mood, Cheney regained a smile on his face: "Although you are in the first team, you are the same as in the youth team. Don't have any pressure, just train hard. Don't think too much."

In his heart, he didn't think that these two newcomers from the youth team could help the team.The team's problems cannot be solved by one or two youth team players.
