[Football] Thorn Birds

On July 2009, 7, Friday, the weather was fine.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who got up very early this morning, looked very handsome in front of the bathroom mirror with a slightly excited mood.

"I'm great, handsome and powerful!"

Facing the mirror, I made a handsome gesture of raising my eyebrows, wow, I will be stunned by myself~~

In a happy mood, Ronaldo came to the living room whistling and greeted his dear mother. He was going to the Real Madrid training base.

"It's so early, you haven't had breakfast yet?"

Dolores was a little worried.

Although her most beloved son joined her favorite team, she was always worried about her son.

"There's a blood test this morning, and I'll eat at base after the blood test."

After kissing his mother on the cheek, Ronaldo went out.

The Real Madrid training base is 15 kilometers north of Madrid. Although there are bodyguards, Ronaldo drove to the base by himself. His schedule today is still full.

After arriving at the training base, Ronaldo had blood drawn by the team doctor before he could see the other teammates, and was immediately caught by the costumer for tailoring, because the official uniform of Real Madrid Club was sponsored by Hugo Boss , so the costumer must hurry up to order the costumes for Ronaldo. After three days, he will need to wear the costumes in public.

Until the end of the blood test, body measurement, photo taking and other activities, Ronaldo finally met his new teammates.

Captain Raul and vice-captain Guti welcomed Ronaldo on behalf of the team. The smiling Ronaldo shook hands with teammates one by one under the leadership of Raul and Guti, but Ronaldo soon noticed that Kaka Not among the many teammates.

"Kaka has a mission for the national team," captain Raul said to Ronaldo with a very natural smile, "Brazil is participating in the International Confederations Cup."

In addition to Kaka, the team participated in the Confederations Cup, and Albiol, Cassie, Ramos and others also participated in the Confederations Cup. It was really hard work!

This sentence popped up in Ronaldo's mind, but soon his attention was attracted by the new coach.

In a circle of everyone, Real Madrid new coach Manuel Pellegrini and his assistants met with the players and talked about their expectations for everyone.

After that, everyone ran together for 5 minutes to warm up, and then began to do stretching training and dribbling exercises.

In the first class, Ronaldo formed a group with Marcelo, Heinze and Pepe, and they cooperated very well. By the way, Pepe has just obtained Portuguese citizenship. Soon to be Ronaldo's national team teammate.In addition, Heinze and Ronaldo were teammates at Manchester United for a while. Marcelo is a very lively young man with a cheerful personality. He is the pistachio in the team and gets along well with everyone.

It's still early for the start of the new season, but Real Madrid's series of pre-season games is about to start, and everyone will participate, except of course Kaka who didn't come because of the national team game.

In this way, after spending three days at the training base in the suburbs of Valdebabes, Ronaldo flew to Dublin with the whole team. Durning moved to the small town of Maynooth in County Kildare, Ireland, where Real Madrid took over the Carlton Golf Hotel, and soon it became a place for the media and fans to watch.

Especially Ronaldo, he is everyone's focus.

"Why don't they ask Kaka?"

Ronaldo, who was always surrounded by reporters before and after training, finally couldn't help complaining to Marcelo and Pepe at the same table during the meal.

Pepe, who just got the news that he can join the Portuguese national team, was very happy. Of course, as a fan of the Brazilian team, he answered Ronaldo's complaints very readily.

"Because Kaka is not here."

Pepe's truth made Ronaldo even more unhappy, "Why didn't El Loco go?"

"Didn't go to what?"

With a piece of bread in his mouth, Marcelo tilted his head, with an expression of confusion.

"Why don't you play in the Confederations Cup?"

Pepe answered Marcelo's pretending to be stupid with a very caring look on his face.

After licking the bread with his tongue like a child, he put the slice of bread back on the plate. Marcelo looked back innocently, "Because I was not selected for the national team!"

Ronaldo was silent for three seconds.

He is not sympathetic to the lunatic 'not selected', but is thinking about how to 'teach a lesson' to Marcelo, because Marcelo was already a member of the Brazilian national team three years ago. Last year, in 08, he returned to Brazil. Participated in the Olympic Games as a player of the National Olympic Team and won No.3 in the football match.

With a puff, Pepe turned her head, laughing so hard that she couldn't hold her breath.

After a few seconds, Ronaldo couldn't hold back his sullen face, and burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

At this time, Raul and Guti came over with plates.

"Cristiano was asking me why I didn't play in the Confederations Cup."

Marcelo grinned.

Raul glanced at Ronaldo clearly, but Guti asked the question first, "I'm tired of being asked by the reporters."

The outspoken Guti was touched by Raul, but Guti still smiled. He sat next to Ronaldo, "Don't pay attention to those vultures..."

"José!"

Raul called Guti helplessly.

Guti gave a cut, but didn't continue talking.

Ronaldo, who found the interaction between the two very interesting, blinked childishly, "Can I call you Jose?"

It's a security issue - as it should be!

Because Guti laughed after being stunned for a moment, "Of course."

And when Ronaldo looked at Raul, Raul nodded with a smile, but his words were still snatched by Guti, "Of course his name is Raul Raul Raul."

Guti smiled mischievously, "By the way, do you know what his last name is?"

After this sudden question stunned the three people in front of them, Marcelo smiled, and Pepe also smiled helplessly.

Only Ronaldo opened his mouth very straight and said, "Isn't it Raul!"

hahaha~~

Guti slapped the table, and the laughing one leaned back and forth.

Raul looked helpless.

Ronaldo, who finally reacted, grinned in embarrassment, "Raul Gonzalez."

"Everyone calls him Raul, almost no one knows what his last name is, and many people think his name is Raul!"

Guti laughed and patted the shoulder of Raul who sat on the other side of him.

After laughing for a while, Guti suddenly fell silent again, and ate food on his own, and stopped talking to the people around him.

Raul glanced at Guti, then he continued to chat with Ronaldo with a smile.

Not long after, Salgado, Benzema and Heinze also sat down and chatted together. Everyone talked about everything from football to other aspects. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

"I never thought it would be so good," in an interview, Ronaldo revealed the topic of their meal chat and discussion, "I'm so happy, everyone said to me when I joined Welcome, I didn't expect them to accept me so quickly... I'm very happy, those rumors about the bad atmosphere in the dressing room of Real Madrid are all wrong..."

Of course, this has a lot to do with Ronaldo's performance these days.

Ronaldo wowed his new team-mates after days of training and practice games together.

Raul said frankly: He did not expect Ronaldo to be such a hardworking person, he is down-to-earth and hardworking, he is a great person.

Salgado added: Ronaldo's speed is like flying, and his performance makes us work harder and be more active.

Coach Pellegrini also expressed his admiration and feelings: I saw Ronaldo's performance with my own eyes.His public image is only part of it. As a player, he is very good. Ronaldo is very down-to-earth and approachable, without star airs and affectations. He is always the first to the training ground and quickly integrated into the team.

Of course, while being happy with these praises, Ronaldo still maintains his inherent rhythm, trains hard, and is the hardest one, because everything he has comes from his hard work and hard work, and Ronaldo knows this very well.

In this way, Ronaldo soon ushered in his first game after transferring to Real Madrid, a warm-up match against the Irish Shamrock Rovers.
