Football career: From winning the championship to becoming a legend

After welcoming Sarafina into the living room, he poured some milk, prepared some juice, and turned on the TV. Ricardo immediately used the excuse of going to the bathroom and ran back to the bathroom on the second floor to make a phone call...

"Pronto! Julianne? Are you getting ready to go out? Ohhhh, that's great... No no no... Don't go out yet!"

"It's like this. My father invited some politicians from the Senate to come to our house to discuss something today, and he needs me to accompany him..."

"Yes, yes... Today is not a good day to visit my parents. It seems that they are discussing something important. We may talk until very late..."

"Yeah, sorry babe, can we change it to tomorrow night?"

"Well, okay, baby, you are so considerate. Tomorrow I will ask Auntie to make your favorite cod fillet with herbs... Muah!"

After settling the nearly-collision incident between the two kings, Ricardo heaved a sigh of relief and went to chat about gossip with the little princess in the gray silk dress...

"Hmm? Want to stay overnight? Have you brought your pajamas? No problem, baby, muah..."

"Hiss...what? You want to go to Rome with me?! (⊙o⊙)..."

"Uh... It's not impossible, Baoer, why wouldn't I want you to go with me... Mainly..."

"Well, mainly because my father is traveling with me in Rome to introduce me to some Senate politicians. Plus, I have business activities, so the trip will be boring, and I won't be able to take care of you. Besides, I'll be back to Spain in two or three days..."

"Well, dear, baby, come to Spain to see me next month before you go back to the United States. I will definitely spend a few days with you..."

"Yes! I promise!"

Shit... I have to talk to my parents in advance and get them to cooperate. Otherwise, I won't be able to get through tonight, not to mention tonight... Uh, I have to find another excuse to go to the bathroom. Before my parents come back, I have to wrap up the story...

The next day, just after sending Sarafina off to go shopping with her classmates, Julian arrived early. Mainly because of Julian's Catholic faith, it was inconvenient for her to stay overnight, so she could only take advantage of the afternoon when Ricardo's parents went out to visit friends and had not returned yet, so she came early to have a tryst with her male lover...

However, coincidentally, Julian also brought a bottle of red wine as a visiting gift, and placed the wine on the shoe cabinet when she entered the door.

After handing the bag to Ricardo, Julian didn't change her shoes or take off her coat immediately. She first noticed the red wine that was left on the shoe cabinet yesterday...

Ice Goddess: "Hmm? Ricardo, why is there a bottle of red wine on the shoe cabinet? Was it left by the guest who visited yesterday?"

The scumbag who took the goddess's bag was bending down to help her change her slippers. Without thinking too much, he casually replied, "Yes, I probably forgot to put it away last night, and it fell on the shoe cabinet..."

The Ice Goddess picked up the bottle and examined it. "Hmm? Where is this winery? I don't think I've seen their brand before... As expected of a politician, you drink in a very special way..."

Ricardo, who is extremely allergic to alcohol and never drinks, does not suspect anything. What else can red wine be like? It's not Romanee-Conti or Lafite...

By the way, Julianne, who had dressed up carefully today, was a little too beautiful. Her hair was obviously just done, and the dress under her coat was also very exquisite: "Hey, baby, you spent a lot of time on makeup and dressing up today, right? There is more than an hour before my parents and brother will be back. How can we do it without affecting your outfit from head to toe?"

Julian, who had just put the red wine back and taken off her coat, blushed, lifted the hem of her skirt slightly as a hint, threw a wink, and walked towards Ricardo's room on the second floor in her slippers...

Oh, oh, oh! I see! This skirt is not only beautiful, but also very convenient! Ricardo hurried to catch up, and there was not much time left for him...

At night, Ricardo's parents looked at Julian, who was as well-behaved as a young wife, and then turned around to look at their little son with a calm expression, and couldn't help but reveal a meaningful smile, but the mother's smile was a little speechless in relief, while the father's smile was mocking with a little envy; and the elder brother Andre, after learning the truth about his own brother's true nature as a scumbag, was so jealous that he didn't go home for dinner tonight...

However, during dinner, Mom and Dad still cooperated with Ricardo to perform the drama of loving father and filial son, and helped to complete Ricardo's story last night. By the way, they revealed that Dad would personally take Ricardo to Rome to meet some political friends tomorrow, blocking Julian's way to go to Rome with Ricardo.

In the evening, when Ricardo returned home after driving Julian home, he saw his parents and brother, and even the nanny, all sitting in the living room with their arms folded, waiting for him...

Dad: "Tell me about it, Ricardo. Let's start with Julian tonight..."

Mother: "Oh my god, you little brat, how can you be worthy of such a lovely baby Sarafina..."

Brother: "Stinky little brother, there is also a female bank employee. Do you have to explain something to her as well?"

Auntie: "Young Master, by the way, have you clarified the false bone fracture that you concealed from us before?"

Ricardo: "Uh... blah blah... mumbling... chirping... humming..."

Brother: "Hiss! You are such a scumbag, little brother! Hurry up and teach me how you did it? Uh... No, bah, tell me the truth. How did you deceive and hurt these ignorant girls?!"

Dad: "Hiss! How enviable... Ahem, how infuriating! How can you be so irresponsible?"

Mother: "Oh my God?! Can you handle it? Do you have enough money? There are so many daughters-in-law. Let's not talk about which one you are going to marry. Get some babies for mom to play with first..."

Aunt: "Young Master, even if it was Raiola who ordered it, you shouldn't have lied to us and made us so worried about you..."

Ricardo: "Well... In order to make up for my mistakes and my inner guilt, I have insured everyone with an investment-linked insurance policy from the British Prudential Insurance Company. Dad, Mom, and brother will each get 50 euros, and you will also get 30 euros, aunt. You can withdraw the profits after 5 years, and the principal will also belong to you. You can withdraw all of it after 10 years! I will have the insurance company express the contract to you tomorrow..."

Σ(O_O)(⊙_⊙)⊙▂⊙Σ(゜ロ゜;)

Brother: "Well... although it's not appropriate to date multiple girlfriends at the same time, it's a waste of youth if a man doesn't indulge in romance; if you need me to cover for you, just tell me! Hahahaha, we are brothers after all!"

Mom: "Ah! You have so many girlfriends, why do you still spend so much money? Why not just buy a bag for mom... But mom also appreciates your filial piety. It's okay to have more girlfriends, after all, you can know which one is better by comparison; you can also have children, after all, you can know which model is better after the birth..."

Aunt: "Ah! Young Master, you are too polite. Next time that fat guy comes, I will teach him a lesson. What a bad idea he came up with, which made our young master suffer. I will go and help you pack your luggage for tomorrow's departure..."

Dad: "Well, that's better. You won't forget your parents after getting married... But according to your dad's experience, your insurance broker should also be a beauty, right? You won't marry her... Uh, no, just pretend I didn't ask. I don't have much experience..."

As expected, a father knows his son best. Of course, Callisto immediately realized what Albert's experience was all about: "Huh? What's wrong with it? What kind of experience? No wonder there were several extra insurance policies before! And they said they were for the children! Tell the truth to my mother! You LSP..."

……

So the next day, Albert, who was seriously injured, was unable to escort Ricardo to Rome, and could only solemnly instruct him to take Ricardo to Rome to make friends with the political elites next time.

And Riccardo also returned to the plan as he wished, going to Rome alone to reunite with Chiara and celebrate the New Year!

In Rome, it was obvious that Chiara and her family had a great time in Greece. They were excited to share their experiences in Greece and the beautiful photos of the scenery along the way with Riccardo.

Although Chiara didn't cause any more trouble, Ricardo himself did have a problem. On New Year's Day, Ricardo strained his leg while completing his training plan alone... It might be due to the continuous travel of thousands of miles, plus staying up late to count down and challenge Ricardo's limits last night, so Ricardo suffered a strain due to lack of sleep, insufficient kidney energy, and muscle fatigue.

However, according to Ricardo's own judgment, the strain is not very serious. After ice compress, it does not affect walking. It is estimated that he will only need to rest for about 10 days. However, it seems that he will have to miss at least one league game and the first leg of the King's Cup round of 1.

The not-so-perfect double-egg holiday finally ushered in the last battle. Ricardo, who was about to transfer to Seville via Madrid, chose to stay in Madrid for 3 days to meet up with Eva and Sofia and enjoy the last few days of vacation.

In Real Madrid, when Ricardo saw the porcelain doll-like Sofia again, he immediately turned into a daughter-slave and licked the dog; he hugged the soft and cute girl in his arms, kept rubbing her chubby little face rich in collagen, and began to show concern for her like a licking dog, leaving Eva aside.

Seeing this, Eva didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had spent so much time dressing up and even put on a battle robe...

On the second day in Madrid, in the Almudena Church, under the witness of the priest, Ricardo officially became Sofia's godfather. Originally, the relationship between godfather and goddaughter did not need to be so complicated, but Ricardo thought that since there were conditions, it would be better to go through the process, so that the sense of ceremony would be stronger; Eva was naturally happy to see it happen, the more sacred the ceremony, the more Ricardo would take care of Sofia in the future...

What does a qualified godfather need to do? Ricardo immediately decided to arrange a big house and a good school for Sofia!

So before leaving for Seville, Ricardo and Eva had a heated discussion in bed about which area was better and which school was more suitable... Of course, this heated discussion started after Sofia fell asleep. Fortunately, the executive suite had good sound insulation, otherwise people would have mistaken it as the Godfather bullying his mother.

……

After returning to Seville, Ricardo reported to the club and underwent a physical examination; although his physical indicators were fine and he had not gained weight, the groin strain still made the team doctor and head coach a little unhappy: even a holiday could be a non-combat casualty. But since things had come to this, there was nothing they could do but give Ricardo a week of sick leave to allow him to recover.

So Ricardo had time to take Eva and Sofia to inspect candidate new homes and schools; at the same time, Ricardo also began to pay attention to the actions of various football heroes during this winter transfer window.

First of all, the home club, Sevilla, also had major adjustments. First, it spent 500 million euros to introduce the ready-to-play Russian international striker Korzakov from Zenit St. Petersburg, while the young player Kepa was loaned to the Premier League West Ham United for training.

Alexander Korzakov, born on November 1982, 11, is 27 cm tall and can play as a striker, winger and attacking midfielder. He has good skills and fast speed. He is more suitable for Sevilla's current system than Copa, and can effectively make up for the lack of agile strikers in Sevilla's current offensive lineup.

In addition, Sevilla also spent 60 euros to introduce the tall central defender Fazio from the Argentine Ferro Carril team. However, Fazio, who is one year younger than Ricardo, is obviously an investment in the future of Sevilla. After all, Navarro and Osio are both old and often injured...

However, it must be said that the vision of Sevilla scouts and coaching staff is still very unique. Federico Fazio, who was born on March 1987, 3, will indeed grow into a top central defender in the future.

Fazio, who was born in Argentina, is 1 meters tall but not bulky. He has excellent footwork and quick reactions. He is not only an air master, but also has the potential to become a commander on the back line. However, for now Fazio still has to go to Team B to level up first.

In La Liga, Sevilla is definitely not the team that will make big moves in the winter window. When it comes to transfer operations, we still have to look to the banking fleet of Real Madrid.

This winter, Real Madrid not only spent a huge sum of 4100 million euros to introduce three outstanding new generation South American stars, but also produced one of the most sensational transfer news in the winter window.

The most sensational one was undoubtedly the departure of Ronaldo, the three-time World Footballer of the Year. After Capello made it clear that he would not use him, AC Milan spent only 750 million euros to take away the legendary Brazilian striker who once dominated the football world; when he joined Real Madrid from Inter Milan, his value was as high as 4500 million euros.

In comparison, Real Madrid's 800 million euros to bring in future left-back Marcelo from Fluminense seems like child's play; the 1300 million euros spent to bring in talented striker Higuain from River Plate and the 2000 million euros spent to bring in talented midfielder Gago from Boca Juniors did not cause much waves...

Compared with Real Madrid's heavy investment in the winter window, Barcelona, ​​the other of the La Liga duo, has done nothing this winter. Perhaps it is because they have enough confidence. After all, everyone thinks they have the best lineup!

During the winter transfer period, the total investment of La Liga teams exceeded the historical record of the 1997/98 season, reaching 6600 million euros. This winter is truly a warm winter for La Liga.

After paying attention to his own La Liga, Ricardo is also more concerned about the situation of Italian football in his home country, especially the winter transfer situation of Serie A.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is that AC Milan spent 750 million euros to introduce Ronaldo, and AC Milan also spent 1550 million euros to introduce Oddo, Grimm and Storari. The total expenditure of 2300 million euros also made AC Milan the winter king of Serie A this season.

Inter Milan, which was far ahead in the league, was the team that made the least move. Apart from selling Coco who could not play in the game, they did nothing.

Among other strong teams in Serie A, Roma brought in Tavano and Williamson; Fiorentina brought in midfielder Kuzmanovic from Basel, Switzerland, and defender Dos Santos da Costa from Lokomotiv; Lazio got the coveted Jimenez; Palermo made a big move, summoning Uruguayan attacking midfielder Giacomasi from Lecce, and also transferred in Polish international striker Matusiak and Uruguayan striker Cavani, who scored 20 goals and won the top scorer in the South American U13 Youth Championship...
