[Football] The only one in the world

After the game against Manchester United, the head coaches went to the post-match press conference. Li Jing and Manchester United started friendly communication activities, including but not limited to changing jerseys, signing and hugging...

Boloni took Paul Bento to the press conference, and Trident, as a possible future teammate, was surrounded by a group of strange brothers and sorceresses.

It was only then that Quaresma and Cristiano knew that Manchester United was their most likely transfer target. Although they didn't like the British weather very much, they didn't question Mendes and Luo's decision.

What's more, these funny teammates look good.

The Red Devils are a team with a unique style. To be honest, this non-mother-in-law and funny style is very suitable for Quaresma, and the words of hard work and unwillingness to admit defeat are simply engraved in Cristiano's blood.A group of rough guys loved their possible future friends in their own way, and by the way, they praised Portugal's English level.

The little Brazilian genius, who knew most of these rough guys very well, was not very confident in his acting skills, so he tried his best to portray himself as a shy kid and didn't mix with them.There are not one or two Manchester United players who are curious about him, but Brazilian players do not have a European household registration. At such a young age, everyone thinks that he should hang out in Portugal for a few more years, so they didn't come to tease him.

Although Li Jing didn't take away a single point in the end, the whole team was in a good mood.Their strategy in the group stage was to give up the game against Manchester United and win the remaining two teams. It turned out that this strategy was very successful.

Of course, a quarter of the game is after the winter break. During the winter break, Luo, who was less than 14 years old, received a call from the Brazilian Football Association.Luo clearly rejected the call-up of the national junior team on the phone, expressing his intention to represent Brazil in world competitions.

There are a lot of Brazilian football talents, and the other side also expressed their blessings very readily.

As for his other quarter of blood... except for the commentator saying "Hey, this Ronaldo Luo's surname looks like pinyin" during the live broadcast of the Premier League game, it did not attract any attention.After all, the gimmick of the youngest appearance record in the Champions League is relatively dim under the brilliance of the penultimate youngest and scoring goals.

Cristiano did not return to Madeira during this winter break, but took his family to his newly bought residence in Lisbon—he couldn’t afford a villa yet, but he just bought a one-floor apartment with a down payment, at least better than all the children squeezed into one room. The Madeira of the house is much better.

Because the new home needs to be settled, Cristiano did not go on vacation during the winter break in 02.But he only has one bed in his new home, and in fact, he still lives in the villa with Trident and takes care of the children.Little Chris can now crawl and be called daddy (yes, he calls everyone daddy), and the three teenagers who have never raised a younger brother can't wait to fight for the right to hold the child every day.

The training tasks during this winter break are very heavy. On the one hand, the 17-year-old Cristiano and the 18-and-a-half-year-old Quaresma have very good physical fitness and can adapt to higher training intensity.On the other hand, Oliveira talked to both of them and planned to let them play in the 02 World Cup.

Portugal is suffering, and finally has a golden generation, but it is still so weak that it needs to recruit young adults and minors.

This year's group has come out, Portugal and Poland, the United States and the host South Korea are in Group D.Luo is very aware of the qualifying situation of this group, although no one would have thought of it at this time.

——Anyway, there is no need to think about it, because the same thing will never happen again.

As long as these two guys try harder.

With the end of the winter break, Chris Jr. can speak his brother's voice, and Sporting Lisbon's journey in the Champions League this season stopped at the quarterfinals.This is already a very good result for the team, but for Luo, who has a strong desire to win, he is still very dissatisfied.

He has ambitions for the Portuguese Super League. Although there are also strong leagues and mediocre national team performances (for example, England), if you want to improve the national team's performance, starting from the league is a very useful way.He is already investing in youth training, but the league...

Luo decided to scratch the lottery ticket, anyway, he is a person who knows the winning numbers.

Due to the World Cup, the 01-02 season ended earlier.Sporting Lisbon is considered a big player in the country's international football team. After winning the league championship, the team's international players set off for training.

The host country of the Korea-Japan World Cup is relatively far from the European continent, and the climate and environment are completely unfamiliar.The two wings of Trident have never been to Asia, and they have been pestering Luo to ask about general knowledge about Asia.

"I haven't been there either!" Luo said helplessly—at least I haven't been there in my life.

"Nonsense, aren't you a Chinese-Pakistani mixed race?"

What do you expect from the next generation of Chinese Americans?Luo faced the nervous friends and told them that he would be with the team this time.

"With the team? Brazil team?"

"No, the Portuguese team."

Luo got the team quota for technical support through his status as the owner of Sporting Lisbon, at the cost of sponsoring two team doctors for the national team.He can even watch the game from the bench, which is really VIP treatment.

In 02 in his last life, he was one of the new-generation twin stars of Sporting Lisbon who could only watch football at home.This time, due to their outstanding performance in the European Youth Championship and the Champions League, the Lisbon Twins entered the Portuguese national team squad at a rare age.Luo truly felt the changes he brought to the world.

The Luo family, which has spent a lot of money, is already at the forefront of the world in the direction of sports medicine. As a technical support, Luo really has goods and is not here to grab a spot.The sports equipment and supporting software he provided stunned the national team, which was an era behind the club in technology, and they all expressed their favor after using it.

It stands to reason that Luo has his own room and is not with the players.But as a little tail, he still added an extra bed in the room between Quaresma and Cristiano, and Trident happily slept in one.

The teenagers are very popular in the national team. One night, Quaresma was called to play cards, leaving Cristiano and Luo in the room.The little curly hair looked at Luo who was busy in front of the computer, and suddenly let out a long breath.

"Ro, why are you so powerful?"

"Huh?" Luo, who was sorting out the materials, didn't look back, and asked casually, "What's so great?"

"You see, you know everything at such a young age. You play football well, understand tactics, you can train, and you can speak several languages." The little curly counted to him, "You are three years younger than me, so I don't know anything. Playing football is not as good as you."

Luo stopped working, stood up, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, tilting his head to look at Cristiano: "It's just that I learned it earlier than you, and after you learn it, you will do as well as me."

I thought in my heart that in another 30 years, I would be almost the same as me.

This feeling of competing with myself is a bit strange. Luo Ke, who is deeply aware of his competitive spirit, dare not say to himself, of course, I am number one in the world, you can’t surpass me in this life, obediently fight...

"Actually, I think it might be better for you to play as a left winger. You can shoot more accurately than me, and move faster than me..." Although Luo usually rarely shoots, Cristiano, who is almost inseparable from him, of course knows his shooting. how good the technique is.

"But my explosiveness is mediocre, and my starting speed is not good. My height is mediocre, and my jumping ability is just that." Luo patted him on the shoulder, "I just like midfielders, and I don't want to score goals by myself. If you are under pressure, you can pass me every pass." The ball becomes an assist."

He has long been recognized as the number one scoring machine, not bragging, in 20 years, no striker in the world can beat him.

But what's the point of scoring goals compared to others, bullying others with decades of extra experience, even if you become the first, you won't win.

Let this little curly-haired man be the first striker. Let's see if he can do what Cristiano Ronaldo did before with the best training, the best support, and the best team. something that can be done.

——Not one of the best in the world, but the only number one in the world.

Cristiano didn't know how complicated the little guy next to him was thinking. He just pulled Luo over and messed up his half-length straight hair.

He just felt that since 5 years ago, he had been chasing his little friend's footsteps, but the more he chased, the more he was getting lost. He was afraid that he would be thrown off by his little friend's forward footsteps, and he would fall far behind and never catch up again.

But... If you can't exceed it, you must at least stand shoulder to shoulder.

Do another set of training.Little Curly thought, sneaking out of the room while Luo went back to work.

Portugal's first game was against the United States. In Luo's memory, the United States scored three goals in the first half of this match. Although they tried hard to recover two goals, they still lost in an upset.

He doesn't know how much he can do, he can only try to remind Portugal not to underestimate the enemy, and at the same time increase the amount of training for Quaresma and Cristiano.He is not the captain of the Portuguese team, and even his suggestions may not be listened to.

There is only Quaresma in the starting lineup, and Cristiano sits on the bench, sitting with the staff Luo.This young American team did not make too many mistakes because of their youth. On the contrary, the more experienced Portugal sleepwalked all over the field and was scored by a corner kick in the opening 5 minutes.Afterwards, Portugal's defensive line, which seemed to be stunned, made frequent omissions. Baya made a few saves, but the first half still continued the historical 3:1.

It's not that Quaresma didn't try to shoot, but the American goalkeeper is in good shape, and neither of the two shots posed a threat.He also had a few crosses, but they didn't pose a threat.During the intermission, Luo didn't follow him. After he came out of the locker room, Luo held him and whispered something in his ear.

The young team's excessive aggressiveness at the beginning of the game will definitely cause a decline in physical strength, and the start of the second half can restore some physical strength. Luo asked him to try to use his running position to wear down the physical strength of the US team.Portugal does not have an advantage in height, and Xiao Lingkuai can still play a little role.

The American left-back has a poor sense of position. Quaresma will stand sideways every time he comes back from a run. No. 12 has a narrow field of vision. Luo has provided Quaresma with several possible ways to get rid of them.

This is a skill that has been cultivated in dealing with defenders for many years. If he were on the court, these two young people would be passed by him until his mother didn't know him-but he might not need to be extraordinary at all, and there is a large gap that can be seen with the naked eye. .

The first 15 minutes of the second half were tense, but neither side scored.The U.S. team started to defend with a two-goal lead. Portugal’s long pass from the right made them exhausted. After 60 minutes of the game, the U.S. team, which was already exhausted in advance, made a mistake in the second half. Quaresma directly intercepted the ball and went forward. , passed the crooked left back, passed the No. 12 who didn't react, and kicked directly under the almost single-handed situation-3:2!

There was joy on the Portuguese bench, and everyone stood up. Luo cheered and hugged Cristiano, and the little curly hugged him a few times.

The third goal happened 10 minutes later. Pauleta in front of the penalty area wanted to pass the ball to Gomez, but was cleared by the American defender and scored in his own goal. Own goal 3:3.

The physically exhausted United States completely shrunk its defense, and Portugal really couldn't do anything about the dense defense of tall men.Oliveira looked at the bench and pointed at Cristiano: "Go and warm up."

The little curly almost jumped up and warmed up happily along the sidelines.Luo followed him, telling him in a low voice his observation of the situation on the field, as well as——feasible methods of breaking dense defenses.

Breakthroughs, headers, long shots, and set-pieces have all been practiced repeatedly by Luo and Cristiano over the years.Enduring hard training and boring repetitive movements over and over again is the cornerstone of Cristiano's success beyond talent.

As Cristiano warmed up, the United States replaced the cramping defender with a defender.Luo took a closer look at the situation on the field, and told the little curly hair to kick up whenever he had the chance, because the United States had no speed to fight back.

Just before the 80th minute, Costa was exhausted and Cristiano Ronaldo came on as a substitute.

"The substitute is Portugal's No. 28 teenager, 17...[-]-year-old C. Ronaldo." The commentator stuttered while reading his age. In order to hide this unprofessional surprise, he began to entangle with the name, "Oh, this is also the name. A Ronaldo, everyone knows that Brazil has a Ronaldinho besides Ronaldinho..."

Cristiano didn't hear the commentary. In fact, after entering the stadium, he couldn't hear anything.In the entire Suwon Stadium, there were no shouts from the fans, no announcements from the radio, only his own heartbeat.

He knew it wasn't nervousness, but excitement.The thirst for victory made him tremble, and the pursuit of national glory made his blood boil.

He runs, he dribbles, he passes, he shoots.After 80 minutes of fierce competition, Portugal, which has a relatively old age structure, can no longer run. However, Cristiano and Quaresma are still trying to tear apart the opponent's tight defense and looking for opportunities.

The Portuguese coach standing on the sidelines couldn't help feeling: "It's great to be young."

Luo glanced at him, thinking that you didn't recruit other young people this year.

There are 22 people on the field, in his eyes, only that one is the most dazzling.In just 10 minutes of playing, the curly shot was 2 times, the goal post was 1 time, and there were 2 threatening passes.The whole world is amazed at this young boy's age and his vigorous efforts.

After 4 minutes of extra time, the game was still tied.Luo calculated the group form, and was thinking that as long as he passed the black whistle of the host (at least not to lose), he should still be able to qualify, when he heard exclamations from around.

He looked over in surprise, the US team's goal net was shaking, and a ball was lying inside.

And the little curly who was so excited that his cheeks were completely red opened his arms and ran to Quaresma on the right like a fool. The two fools hugged tightly and turned twice.

This pose is not handsome at all.

The live big screen replays the goal just now: Quaresma looks like a lobbed pass from the right. Cristiano instantly accelerates to the front of the penalty area and jumps high with a header. The ball wipes the goalkeeper's glove and enters the net.

"Cristiano Ronaldo! The 17-year-old Portuguese teenager scored a goal in his first World Cup appearance!" The whole world erupted, "Quaresma! Cristiano Ronaldo We were still lamenting the lateness of the heroes of the golden generation of Portugal, but the new generation who are too young have handed over a satisfactory answer! Two young players made two shots and one pass, and Portugal took away the key three points!"

After a go-ahead goal, neither Portugal nor the United States had the strength to attack again, and stoppage time soon ended in a pass.The Portuguese bench jumped into the stadium happily to celebrate. Luo, who was recording data with a laptop, took a step back. Just as he put down the laptop and put it away, he was picked up by the two teenagers who rushed over.

"Hey, you two, put me down!" Quaresma and Cristiano, both topless, hugged him with one leg, and carried him into the stadium with his shoulders.This posture was too shameful, and Luo, who had been maintaining his majesty, tried to jump, but was hugged tightly by two guys with superior physical strength.The other hands of the two of them were still shaking desperately around, responding to the cheers of the fans.

Too naive, too immature, isn't it just that he scored goals in the World Cup, and he also scored goals.

Luo thought so, and raised his arms, waving to the cheers.
