[Football] Thorn Birds

In an interview, he was asked the question he had answered countless times, why did he choose football?

He still told the story about the birthday party...

Then one day, when chatting with someone, he suddenly said, in fact, I was just too proud at that time, and I didn't want to admit that I was surpassed by others!

But someone said: You have always been proud, past, present, and future, your pride has never disappeared, he is here with you.He pointed to his chest and laughed. - That's why I love you!

He was silent, then smiled and said: Actually, I am too.

What is it?

Your pride!Love because of you!

He added.

Clasping hands, looking at each other and smiling, this is our life.

Where should the story begin?

Then, turning our attention back to the past, the important year related to the turning point of their lives...

[-]. Ronaldo

2003年6月10至21日，在法国南部土伦举行了No.30一届国际青年足球邀请赛（土伦杯），尽管这个由各国派出U21国青队参赛的比赛至今未被国际足联认可，但这个比赛一直以来都被认为是足球业界发现足球天才、培养未来巨星的摇篮。

Cristiano Ronaldo Santos Albero, 18 years old, represented the Portuguese national youth team in this Toulon Cup competition, and finally won the Toulon Cup with the team for the third time. At the same time, he He was nominated for the best player at the same time as Italy's Pagano and Argentina's Mascherano, but in the end, the young player known as Ronaldo only won the honor of the youngest player to enter the finals-to add, Argentina's Javier Mascherano was the best player of the competition, and later he moved to the leagues of various countries until he went to Barcelona and entered the ranks of top stars.

That is to say, in this game, Ronaldo won the praise of many industry professionals. There are many clubs that want him. The more famous ones are Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Juventus, Parma, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona and so on.

The most active one at the beginning was the Liverpool club from the UK. It was reported that Ronaldo’s agent had already met with representatives of Liverpool to discuss transfer matters. Even Ronaldo himself had negotiated Liverpool in an interview. He said : Liverpool is the strongest veteran team in the UK, and being able to play there is the dream of every young player.

However, the world is unpredictable, and no one thought that on the eve of the Portuguese National Youth Team entering the Toulon Cup final, at the Marin Ha Quinta Hotel, the Portuguese Sporting Team and Manchester United had reached an agreement, and Ronaldo would transfer to Manchester United. The transfer fee is 1500 million euros.

At that time, Manchester United coach Ferguson and others concealed the transfer news and did not make it public until August 8.

On August 2003, 8, the inauguration ceremony of the new ball of the Athletic team was held. The opening match was between Sporting Lisbon and Manchester United.

Cristiano Ronaldo showed a wonderful performance in this game and won the favor of his future teammates at the club. Perhaps, this is what Sir Alex Ferguson, who has been pretending that the transfer has not been carried out, is thinking in his heart. The players watched the rookie's performance with their own eyes, which would be the best way to integrate the Portuguese rookie into the team-he is really an old fox.

In fact, I was not ready yet!

Later, when asked about the transfer, Ronaldo said this.

Mendes (C Ronaldo's agent) told me to go to Manchester to sign the contract, have a medical examination and visit Old Trafford.

I thought after that I would go back to Lisbon and return to Sporting for another year on loan.

However, as soon as I arrived in Manchester, I signed the contract and stayed.

I was unprepared for this, I didn't know English, I didn't even bring my personal belongings, and I just stayed and started training in Carrington.

Everyone is looking forward to the performance of the Portuguese kid.

"However," Ronaldo said with excitement, "I'm very happy, I think I can succeed here, I will succeed!"

When I go to the pitch or the training ground, I feel very happy because I love football.

It is my love, my joy. - Ronaldo

2. Kaka

About me, I think my story has been told by too many people, and there is nothing more to tell.

Facing the questioning, Kaka answered with an elegant smile.

Then the twist of fate is...

Maybe it was the injury!

Kaka thought for a while and said.

One day in September 2000, Kaka accidentally slipped and fell into the water in the St. Paul Water Park, only to find out that my spine was seriously injured, which may lead to permanent paralysis.

"Can I still play football?"

Knowing that Kaka was seriously injured, he asked the doctor this way.

Fortunately, Kaka's treatment and recovery went smoothly. Three months later, he recovered and was successfully selected for the Sao Paulo youth team and became the main force of the first team a year later.

"I lay in bed after my injury and decided to write down the ten things I wanted to do most in my life. Then, I accomplished three of them in three years, and then..."

Kaka smiled and didn't continue talking.

In the 2002 World Cup, Kaka was selected for the national team, participated in the World Cup, and played 18 minutes of the game.

Although only a short 18 minutes, "but it is very important to me."

Kaka after the World Cup, flowers and honors followed one after another, however, Kaka's life is not easy.

Due to the poor performance of the Sao Paulo club, Kaka, who was widely publicized and praised, was injured and unable to participate in the game. He became the target of fans' attacks.

The insults and boos from the fans, as well as the club's decision to sell him, further pushed Kaka into a wave of attacks-playing style, appearance, behavior and conversation have all become his weaknesses. Called a deer by fans (in Brazil, it refers to homosexuality) and a Barbie doll, that period of time was the first time Kaka felt the hardships of his career on the court, and let Kaka know that his football in the Sao Paulo club Life has come to an end.

The whole team played poorly, but they only targeted me!

In an interview, the young Kaka was furious.

From the former savior of the club to the traitor and outcast, Kaka is helpless but helpless.

The news that the Sao Paulo club sold him to the Serie A giants AC Milan leaked, which caused dissatisfaction among the fans and the displeasure of the club coach Rodgers.

After that, Kaka's life at the club was even more difficult, and he didn't even have many chances to play.

In this way, AC Milan, who has been paying close attention to Kaka, is determined to make a move.

Destiny is a surprising and unexpected naughty boy. When AC Milan decided to make a move, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea also joined the ranks of scrambling for Kaka.

The Sao Paulo club kept raising prices, several clubs were bargaining, and Kaka was exhausted in the vortex.

"I don't know what a contract is, I don't know anything..."

Surrounded by the media, Kaka just wanted to escape, and he rarely lost his temper.

In the end, Kaka transferred to AC Milan on August 2003, 8, based on the player's own wishes and the persuasion of AC Milan and the investment of Adidas.

When he first arrived in Serie A, Kaka, who came to Milan, was not favored by the outside world.

In the writings of many media, Milan is focusing on Kaka's advantages in appearance rather than his football ability, just like Real Madrid bought Beckham, in order to turn him into a "cash cow" for the club.

Kaka, who has been so hyped by the media, came to Milan, and on this day, only a female fan wearing a Brazilian jersey, Braida, the sports director of the Milan club, and a driver came to greet him.

Desolate and ignored, this is the reality of Kaka's first arrival in Milan.

…………

This year, both young people have their own new journeys.

However, the Portuguese youth who started popular is about to usher in a career surrounded by boos.

The other Brazilian, who is unwilling, sad and unpopular, will also usher in his own happy future...

Destiny is so wonderful!

+ + + + + + + + + + + +

Kaka: How many people know that I was the unpopular one?

Ronaldo: I'm a little sad!

The author has something to say:

PS: The beginning is the most difficult to decide, and it was determined after changing N times!
