Chapter 67

"Do you want to be stronger?"

The old man looked at Lucas and asked.

Lucas was stunned by the question.

Become stronger?

Who doesn't want to be strong?
I dream of becoming stronger!
Do you think I want to be a substitute?
You think I don't want to put the damn Kleber on the bench?
If I could... I would fucking do it already!

But I can't!
As a striker, he has no speed and body, and as a Brazilian player, his skills at his feet are really only average.

Why am I stronger than others?

Before rookie Rong, the sense of superiority that I could maintain at first has been shattered long ago...

From Rong Guang, he saw that geniuses really exist in this world.They can start long after you, but when you're trudging along the road, they can easily pass you, and then turn you into ashes in the blink of an eye.

The efforts made by mortals are not worth mentioning in front of geniuses.

"Do you want to become stronger?" the old man asked again.

"I..." Lucas didn't know why, and opened his lips trembling, making a sound.

"Do you want to become stronger?" the old man asked forcefully.

"I want to! I want to become stronger! I fucking want to become stronger!" Lucas finally couldn't stand the old man's repeated questions and shouted loudly.

Rong Guang looked at Lucas in surprise.

He had never seen Lucas like this. In his heart, Lucas had always been a little cynical, unable to do anything.When he was in the youth team, he could see that Lucas was not active in training, and he was not very active. He would be lazy when he could.

When emotional?Absolutely not.

Lucas doesn't seem to be interested in anything... oh no, he's interested in women.But without money and fame, it is not easy to make girls like him...

"But how can I become stronger? Don't tease me with the trick of deceiving Rong, let me tell you, I, Lucas, are not so easy to deceive!"

The old man smiled and asked, "Do you have asthma?"

Lucas shook his head, spread his hands and said in disdain: "I don't have one, but what does this have to do with becoming stronger?"

The old man looked at Rong Guang, who also shook his head: "Me neither, old fairy."

The old man looked at Lucas again: "Okay, you go to the sea."

Lucas didn't understand the point of the old crook asking him to do this at all, but he wanted to see what medicine was being sold in the old crook's gourd, so he turned obediently and walked towards the sea.

He walked through the tourists enjoying the sun on the beach and walked into the sea step by step.

When the water was almost up to his waist, the old man didn't let him stop.He feels like an idiot now... must have been tricked by the old liar!

Just when he was about to turn around and go back to trouble the old liar, he heard the old liar's words: "Keep going."

So he walked on again.

Now he feels that he is also crazy, and he would listen to that old liar...

"Go forward, go forward, go a little further." The words of the old liar kept coming from behind him.

He kept walking, and the water gradually flooded his shoulders.

At this time, the tourists playing in the water all noticed Lucas, and they looked at him in surprise.

If Lucas was like them, it would be wrong, because no one would walk into the sea so straight, it would be suicide!
A woman exclaimed, and more people stopped their own things, stood up and looked at Lucas.Some enthusiastic people even ran towards Lucas.

The old liar is still saying: "A little further, a little further..."

When the sea water had reached Lucas's mouth, he raised his head to keep the sea water from pouring into his mouth.

enough!

What a goddamn fool I was to listen to that old liar!

Well, I admit that he was able to lie to me for so long, but now I'm going to settle the score with him!
At this moment, he heard the old liar say: "Okay, you can come back."

Lucas turned around almost at the same time, and he walked towards the old fairy with an unfriendly expression on his face. Even though he is an old man, he must teach him a lesson!Who told him to play himself like an idiot?
Those who were going to help Lucas stopped strangely when they saw Lucas walking back.

I don't know which song this is from...

When the sea reached his chest, Lucas also walked up to the old liar.

He was about to question, but he heard the old liar say first: "Do you really want to become stronger?"

"Ah?" Before Lucas could react, he saw the old liar stretch his hand towards his head, then his head lowered uncontrollably, and his body leaned forward - he was pushed into the water by the old fairy!

The terrified Lucas couldn't react in time, and swallowed a big mouthful of sea water.Then he was picked up abruptly by the old liar again.

As soon as he took a breath of air, he was pushed down again!
"Damn... Gulu Gulu..."

"Pfft! What are you doing... Gulu Gulu..."

He couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Rong Guang was dumbfounded by the side, let alone other people.

Some people thought that there was some conflict here, so they wanted to call the police.

After four times in a row, the old liar lifted him up and stopped pressing down.

Lucas drank a stomach full of salty sea water, and finally he could breathe. He took a deep breath desperately, letting the air enter his lungs.

Then he panted and scolded the old man: "Are you crazy?! You murderer!"

"How do you feel?" The old man asked slowly, as if he didn't see his expression at all.

"You're still asking me how I feel? I can't fucking breathe!" Lucas was waving his arms like he was going to punch the old crook.

"That's right." The old man's words made him stunned.

"Right? Right what right?"

"Remember how you were struggling to breathe, boy. You said you wanted to be strong? But you didn't really want to be strong. You just kind of wanted to. You didn't want to be strong as much as you wanted to party. You didn't want to be good. You didn't want to pick up girls. You didn't even want to sleep in. When your desire to be strong is comparable to your desire to breathe, you will be strong."

After finishing speaking, the old man turned around and waded away with his hands behind his back.

Hearing the old man's words, Lucas froze in place, letting the sea water wash over his body, and he just stood in the sea in a daze.

Rong Guang wanted to go up and enlighten Lucas, but he heard the old fairy humming behind him: "Come back with me, massage!"

Rong Guang turned his head to look at Lucas, and finally left with the old fairy.

Lucas just stood in the sea alone, lost in thought.

Do I want to be stronger?
Do I really want to be stronger?
Or is it actually just because I am content with the status quo, so I found a reason for myself not having talent?In this way, I can become stronger without having to pay all the hard work and sweat...

He thought of when he saw Rong Guang's scars in the cafeteria of the training base, and when he asked him what was going on in surprise, Rong Guang told him that it was "special training".He didn't believe it at first.

He thought about yesterday and today when he saw Rong Guang doing training beyond his imagination on the beach, and told him that this was also a "special training".

Think of his pair of shorts that look like tree rings...

Is the effort and sweat he has put in... what he can compare to?Then why do I feel that Rong Guang has improved faster than me, and is stronger than myself because of my talent?
He seems to only focus on Rongguang's super learning ability and speed talent, completely ignoring Rongguang's efforts for this.

Can a genius, if he doesn't work hard, turn from a layman to a key player in Sao Paulo within four months?

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, Lucas couldn't stop himself from agreeing with the old liar.

His own desire to become stronger is not at all comparable to going to rave parties, and finding beautiful women to strike up a conversation with and be handsome on the beach... Before, he still thought that Rong Guang was crazy for working so hard.

But without this crazy energy, how can a rookie who has only learned football for four months succeed?

My desire to become stronger is really not strong enough.

But am I really not eager to become stronger?
Who doesn't want to become stronger?Who doesn't wish they could become a successful professional soccer player?
I think so!
I really want to!
Think like you want to breathe!

A well-meaning person next to him saw that Lucas was still standing in the sea at chest height. Fortunately, the wind and waves were calm today, otherwise he would have been knocked over in the sea.

So I came up to care about him: "Young man, do you need help?"

Lucas didn't seem to see him, and suddenly moved, he lifted his feet and walked to the shore.

The well-meaning people were left in surprise, not understanding what happened to this person, and which song was sung just now...

※※※

Rong Guang didn't see Lucas again, maybe he had already gone back, maybe he was still looking for beauties on the beach to strike up a conversation with, but he was far away from the area he was in.

He didn't have much time to care about Lucas.Because the daily special training is still going on, every day, I will be warmed up with the old fairy on my back in the morning and afternoon, and I will kick walnuts for ten kilometers in the morning and afternoon.

Just these two kinds of training every day are enough for him to be exhausted, and he really doesn't have much other energy to care about Lucas.

He can only hope Lucas doesn't get hit.

He himself has a reason to work so hard, because he has eight years less than others, especially Kaka, and he has to catch up.Lucas doesn't necessarily have to do the same. Like Kaka, he also started receiving football training from a very young age...

Ricko is helping his mother guard the grocery store at home, which is the main source of income for their family.Before he became a real professional player, he, his parents, a grandmother, three younger brothers, and two younger sisters all depended on the grocery store.Like other ordinary poor Brazilians, they live a very poor life.The whole family expects him to be able to achieve something on the football field. As long as he makes money alone, the whole family can live a good life.

The doorway of the sunny shop suddenly darkened, he reflexively thought it was a customer, and hurriedly greeted: "What do you want...huh?"

Looking up, he saw Lucas Sutton holding a football.

"Lucas?"

"Riko, practice with me!" Lucas threw the football to Riko, turned around and walked out after speaking.

Riko caught the ball in a hurry and chased it out: "But I want to see the store..."

"Practice at your door!" Lucas said as he walked.

Hearing Lucas's decisive and firm voice, Ricko was frightened: "Are you crazy, Lucas? You have never been like this before!"

Lucas stopped suddenly and turned to look at Rico.

"Do you want to become stronger, Rico?"

"Who doesn't want to become stronger?" Rico asked inexplicably while spreading his hands.

"How much do you think?"

"Uh...I really want to." Rico didn't know how to answer, so he had to prevaricate casually.

"Can you want to become stronger like you want to breathe?"

Hearing this sentence, Rico was stunned.
