Chapter 36 Every setback is a test... right?

"The game is over! Sao Paulo in the away game stopped their good momentum of three consecutive victories. They lost 1:2 to San Caetano in the away game. The rookie Rong, who performed well in the previous three games, did not continue his miraculous performance. He completely misfired in this game..."

"...Ron was caught in the opponent's muscle jungle in the game against San Caetano. Whenever he was surrounded by San Caetano's players, he was fouled again and again and fell to the ground... His speed did not show at all, which disappointed the fans who planned to watch him blast the opponent's defender with super fast speed..."

When the game ended, the fans of the home team San Caetano cheered in the stands, happy that they could beat the mighty Sao Paulo.

San Caetano's players also celebrated after the game.

It's like they've won the championship.

In contrast, Sao Paulo's players seem to be much more frustrated.

San Caetano is not a very strong team. They were relegated in the Brazilian League last season. This year they can only play in the second division.

Unexpectedly, it was such a team, but they suffered a defeat.

Gordo stood in the stands, looking at Rong Guang standing on the field blankly, with his hands on his hips, panting heavily.

It is rare to see Rong Guang so exhausted after a game.

Rongguang's physical fitness is very good.

It also shows how difficult this game is for him.

His frequent physical confrontation with opponents has made him more physically drained than ever.

Gordo frowned.

Rong Guang's poor performance in this match gave him a bad premonition...

"In the latest round of the Rio-São Paulo Championship, Sao Paulo drew 1:1 at home with Botafogo. It's a good thing that he didn't continue to lose. Another good news is that Kaka has completely recovered from his injury. He came off the bench at No. 601 minutes and performed well... But I think this is definitely not good news for Rong. Because his strongest competitor is back, two consecutive poor performances may make him lose the opportunity to start the next game..."

"Rong's performance in two consecutive games was not very good. In this game, he was finally replaced in advance by Kaka who came back from injury... What made the once magical Chinese kid lose all his magic power? In these two games, we did not see the speed and agility that Rong is proud of. We only saw him fall to the ground again and again under the strict marking of the opponent..."

"In the post-match press conference of the last Rio-Sao Paulo Championship, San Caetano's head coach Jair Piccierny once said that he had studied Rong's game video a lot and found a way to deal with him... I think the biggest significance of that game may not be that Sao Paulo ended their three-game winning streak, but that Picierny opened up ideas for other team coaches-don't be frightened by Rong's speed, he is actually just a rookie who has only been in contact with football for three months! Botafogo obviously accepted this experience..."

"Although San Caetano can only play in the National Second Division this season, their performances in the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship and the Copa Libertadores are very eye-catching. Their success is not a fluke..."

"Osvaldo Oliveira did not think after the game that Sao Paulo's two-round win was caused by Rong's abnormal performance. Of course, the inability to win the ball is not the problem of a certain player, but the failure of this game also exposed Rong's problems. I think we should calm down from the previous carnival. Rong is just a newcomer who has only been in contact with football for three months. We should not place too high expectations on him. There are clubs and praises in football!"

"When Rong was stripped of his mysterious cloak, everyone finally realized that he is actually a rookie with a weak foundation. Professional players have too many ways to deal with such a rookie. The reality is cruel, but this is the truth...Rong's amazing performance in three games came to an end when he was thoroughly studied by his opponent. He is no longer that 'magical Chinese kid', but an ordinary rookie. As long as he is frequently confronted with him, foul tactics are used to contain him, and various small moves...his speed cannot be fully utilized. Come out! A person who only got into football at the age of 16, no matter how talented he is, has a limit, and the gap of seven or eight years between him and his peers cannot be made up in a few months!"

"Perhaps we can already assert that Rong is just one of a large number of shooting stars that have flocked to the Brazilian domestic arena over the years. He will be eliminated soon just by his speed! The myth of the magical Chinese kid once made my blood boil, but the reality is not a novel, nor is it an American heroic cartoon or movie..."

"Congratulations, Kaka!" Reynaldo said to Kaka in the locker room.

Kaka felt strange: "Congratulations?"

"The last game came off the bench and performed well. Although you didn't win, I think when you return to the team, it will be the beginning of winning." Reynaldo said with a smile to Kaka.

Kaka shook his head: "It's useless to say anything without winning the game. I care more about the team's results."

Not happy about it.

Reynaldo was a bit self-deprecating, but he immediately smiled again: "It's obviously not your fault that you didn't win the previous two games, so you don't have to blame yourself. Someone should be responsible for this, I think... Maybe we won't see him soon? I hope he doesn't cry! Ha!"

Kaka didn't answer, and frowned slightly.

He also remembered that Rong Guang didn't show what everyone expected in two consecutive games, so will he be sent back to the youth team?
He was originally transferred from the youth team to fight the fire. It is said that he still has a youth contract. It seems impossible for such a player to stay in the first team.

In the past, where Rong Guang went, it had nothing to do with Kaka. Although he was only 19 years old, he had seen a lot of separation and reunion, coming and going, and was used to it.This is the cruelty of professional football, and there is no need to feel sad for everyone.

But now, he couldn't let it go.

He suddenly wanted to see how the Chinese boy reacted to such a blow.

It's really hard to imagine the kid who dared to challenge me in front of so many people crying...

At noon, Kaka, who always went home to eat, suddenly came to the restaurant of the training base for an unprecedented time.

If it is normal, his arrival will definitely flatter those youth players who see him. It seems that it is a very happy thing to be able to eat in one place with the idol Kaka.

But today, there is no such treatment.

When he walked to the door of the restaurant, he found that there was no one there.

Didn't everyone come to dinner?Or am I late?
Kaka walked in with such doubts, only to realize that he had made a mistake.

There are actually a lot of people gathered in the depths of the restaurant, surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside - it turns out that people from other positions have used this place!

These people include youth team players and Kaka's teammates in the first team.

And it's not just them, Kaka also saw the waiter in the restaurant among the crowd...

They all poked their necks and looked into the crowd, full of expectation and surprise.

Although Kaka doesn't come to the restaurant to eat very often, he also knows that such a scene is very rare...

Something special must have happened.

what 's wrong?
Before he could figure out what was going on, there was a loud cry from the crowd, mixed with excited whistles.Some people raised their arms and cheered, some clapped their hands, but more people slapped the table and stamped their feet, covered their heads with their hands, and sighed to the sky, looking very annoyed.

"Ah! How is this possible?! How could a human being do it!"

"This is impossible! Is he from Earth?!"

"I would like to admit defeat, you are all famous stars, and you are not short of this money... Come, come, give money, give money!" Another voice rang out amidst the noise, very clearly.

Annoyed, someone took out a banknote and slapped it on the table, then walked away shaking his head and sighing.When he walked away, he still had a look of disbelief on his face, muttering: "How is it possible... how could he stuff four..."

"Although it is said to be flattened, it is too exaggerated... I can't do it anyway..."

"...Maybe I should try stuffing four sandwiches in one bite, too?"

This made Kaka even more inexplicable.

What is this all about?

As they dispersed, Kaka outside finally saw clearly what happened just now.

Rong Guang was sitting behind the dining table, with four sandwiches stuffed in his mouth, the kind specially provided by the training base!

The sandwich consists of two slices of bread, a slice of tomato, a piece of lettuce and a piece of poached chicken.No cheese slices, no cheese, no salad dressing, completely healthy low calorie food, but very unpalatable.

Each sandwich was more than four centimeters thick in its initial form, but now these sandwiches were all squashed and stuffed into Rong Guang's mouth!
Next to him, a boy who looked like he was of mixed race was busy collecting the banknotes on the dining table, and then distributed them to others, but even so, there were still a lot of banknotes in front of him.

While distributing the money, he also said to Rong Guang next to him, "It's done, it's done, this time, Rong! We made a lot of money! The old rules, three to seven cents!"

Rong Guang's mouth was full of sandwiches, he couldn't speak, he just nodded and made a humming sound.

When Kaka saw this scene, he remembered Reynaldo's words.

cry?
how can that be possible?
I knew... It was too unnatural for him to cry his nose!

He lowered his head, walked quickly to the place where the food was served, picked up the plate and started to pick up the food.

He took some food at random, and then found a very remote corner to sit down and eat, trying not to attract attention, so as not to let others know that he was here.

But he regrets it now - what an idiot I am, why did I decide to come here?
