Chapter 8 Portugal, here I come!

Therefore, according to the general rules, the abbreviation is "first name + father's surname", and Ronaldo's name should be abbreviated as "Cristiano Aveiro" (Cristiano Aveiro).

So why does everyone call him "Ronaldo"?

This is because there are not many words available for names in Portuguese, and many names are very common.Therefore, when addressing a person, you can choose a part of his name that is easy to distinguish as a general term, and you don't have to stick to the form of "first name + father's surname".

Luo Yi put the trolley case in the trunk of his grandfather's car, and sat in the back with his grandmother Zhang Yulan, while his grandfather Francisco drove.

As soon as they got in the car, grandma started talking. First, she greeted Luo Yi's parents, grandpa, and grandma, and then began to introduce the scenery along the way to Luo Yi.

"Luo Yi, it's great that you can come to Portugal. Grandma hasn't seen you for several years. I didn't expect you to grow so old in a flash. Grandma is old."

"Grandma is not old at all, she looks very young."

"It's better to be my grandson, unlike your grandfather who makes me angry all the time."

Francisco, who was innocently lying on the gun, was silent, feeling that his family status had dropped another level.

"Luo Yi, grandma will show you the way, so don't get lost when you stroll by yourself in the future."

"Lisbon is the most affluent city in Portugal, with a population of nearly 300 million. Your grandfather and I live in the Belém district, 6 kilometers west of the center of Lisbon. Scenery, there is an elegant park by the river.”

"The bridge across the Tejo River is called the April 25th Bridge, which was named in memory of the Carnation Revolution on April 1974th, 4. The April 25th Bridge was the longest bridge in Europe and the third steel suspension bridge in the world. , on the other side of the bridge is a huge statue of Jesus."

"The ancient castle by the Tejo River is called Belém Tower. This is the Monument to the Discoverers. This is the most famous Jeronimos Monastery. Therefore, the Belém district is the first choice for Lisbon tourism. Tourists who come to Lisbon generally They will all come to Belém.”

"Hey, Francisco, stop at the century-old Belém egg tart shop in front of me. I'll buy some egg tarts for Luo Yi. The century-old Belén egg tarts are world-famous. The typical Portuguese egg tarts and Portuguese donuts have the purest taste. , It is said that the formula ratio of the egg tart is still the original formula of the monastery.”

Luo Yi accompanied his grandmother to buy some egg tarts and donuts, sprinkled with cinnamon powder and powdered sugar, tasted it, it was really delicious, but sweeter than domestic egg tarts.

Luo Yi walked on the streets of Lisbon, and found that the roads here are very different from those in China. Many streets are paved with black and white stones. A few pigeons landed on the square from time to time. There are also some artists playing pianos and painting on the streets. , don't have some exotic style.

Francisco parked the car in front of a bar and said, "Luo Yi, this is Grandpa's Kickers Bar, you can rest here for a while."

It is afternoon now, there are not many customers in the bar, Luo Yi is chatting in a corner with his grandpa and grandma.

"Francisco, why did you call me in such a hurry?"

A rough voice came.

Francisco stood up, hugged a strong man, and said with a smile: "Vitor, I need your help with something."

Vitor said: "Francisco, we are old friends, if you have anything to say, just say it."

The two sat down, and Francisco said: "Vitor, let me introduce you, this is my grandson Ronaldo, Ronaldo, this is Uncle Vitor, the president of the Sporting Lisbon Football Fans Association."

Luo Yi hurriedly stood up, bowed to shake hands, and said in Portuguese: "Hello! Uncle Vitor."

Vitor laughed and said, "Francisco, Portuguese-Chinese mixed race, your grandson is very handsome and talented."

Luo Yi smiled shyly and said, "Thank you Uncle Vitor."

Vitor said: "Rolo, you speak Portuguese very fluently."

Luo Yi said: "I often talk to my mother in Portuguese at home, and I can speak Portuguese and English well."

Vitor praised: "It turned out to be a primary school bully."

Francisco poured Vitor a glass of port wine with brandy, and said with a smile: "Vitor, Ronaldo is a player of the Chinese Siberian Tigers football school. Now he wants to develop in Portugal. You have a lot of contacts in Portuguese football. Help with ideas."

Vitor shook his wine glass and said: "There are almost no Chinese players who come to Portugal to play football. We don't know much about Chinese teams and players, but the Chinese national football team is competing for tickets to the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. It’s not bad, there are some outstanding players who have attracted the attention of European football scouts, so it’s not too difficult for Ronaldo to find a team in Portugal for trial training.”

Francisco said: "Vitor, please introduce Portuguese football to Ronaldo."

Vitor said: "Portugal's traditional strong teams include Benfica, Porto, and Sporting Lisbon. Only in the 1945-1946 season has Belenises won the top league championship. So far, Benfica has won 30 Liga championships, and Porto has won the top league championship. 18 Liga titles and Sporting Lisbon 16 titles."

Luo Yi said: "It seems that Benfica is the best?"

As the president of the Lisbon Fans Association, he is naturally inclined. Vitor shook his head and said: "It can't be said that, since Benfica won the championship in 1993-1994, it has fallen into a trough and has never won a championship again. Then Porto Five consecutive championships, Sporting Lisbon has a strong momentum this year, and it is very likely to win the championship this season."

Francisco said: "Vitor, do you see which teams are better for Ronaldo to go to?"

Vitor said: "How did Ronaldo come here when he first came, and he has no chance to enter the Portuguese League team, so it is best to choose a youth team first, play in a lower league, exercise first, and then look for opportunities to see if you can do it. Enter the Portuguese first or Portuguese second team."

The current Portuguese football top league is the Portuguese League, which was later renamed the Portuguese Super League.

Francisco said: "Ronaldo has just arrived in Portugal and is unfamiliar with the place. I think it is better to find a team in Lisbon for trial training. Lisbon is the capital and there are many teams. You can play football and go to school at the same time."

Vitor said: "If Ronaldo stays in Lisbon, he can choose the Portuguese second team Benfica B, Sporting Lisbon B or Belenense's youth team, but Benfica B and Sporting Lisbon can only play in Portuguese second. Cannot be promoted to the Portuguese Super League."

Francisco said: "E Ronaldo, although Belenense is in the Belém area, it has been struggling in Portugal for many years. You'd better choose one of the Benfica B team and the Sporting Lisbon B team."

Luo Yi said: "I heard that Sporting Lisbon's Akchite youth training camp is doing very well. I want to try it first."

Vitor said: "Ronaldo, you have a good vision. The Lisbon youth academy, the La Masia youth academy, and the Ajax youth academy are also known as the three major youth academy in Europe, and their star-making ability far exceeds that of Benfica and Porto. I happen to be familiar with Aurelio Pereira, the head of scouting at the Lisbon youth academy, you should take a few days off first to adjust the jet lag, Saturday is the trial training day of the Lisbon youth academy, and I will take you to the trial training."

Francisco and Vitor drank and chatted, and Luo Yi went home with his grandmother.

Francisco opened a fan bar and had some savings. He bought a small villa in the Belém district with enough rooms and a lawn of more than 200 square meters in front of the villa.
