[football] little princess

2003 8 Month 8 Day.

Setlla hated the scorching sun. The scorching lawn seemed to burn her sandals, and the golden light was flying around in the unsheltered stadium.She began to regret listening to Aunt Casey's words, and she was so curious that she wanted to see this so-called new aid.It was all because those newspapers blindly exaggerated what they called "the new Beckham". She knew that the British media's words were not credible, but she was still deceived.

It was easy to enter Old Trafford. Setlla was about to go down from the stands and enter the player tunnel. The Mozambican man who came out of the inside spotted her at a glance: "Hey, little princess, are you here to play today?"

Setlla stuck out her tongue and flicked her long dark brown hair, "Carlos, I'm actually here to see the new players. Don't chase me away, okay?"

Queiroz waved his hand, "I don't dare to stop you, Sir and two new players will be here soon, just sit here and wait."

Setlla could only sit in the stands boredly and watch.One after another, some reporters came in and set up their equipment. They were not surprised to see Setlla, and even waved to her if they knew her well.The longer he waited, the more Setlla became interested in the boy who was said to have broken the transfer fee record for a young player in the Premier League.Judging from the photos and videos, this is a guy with a pair of dead fish eyes. He played for Sporting Lisbon before, and his exposure rate is not very high.

Soon, Sir Alex Ferguson took him and Kleberson onto the turf of Old Trafford for a simple debut ceremony.The first Portuguese player in the history of Manchester United appeared here so abruptly, wearing Manchester United's most meaningful No. 7 jersey. Setlla stood blankly in the stands, feeling as if she was standing in the middle of the deserted stadium, feeling cold from head to toe.Why do you feel cold when the weather is so hot?

When looking at the stands, Ferguson showed a helpless look.He patted Ronaldo on the back, leaving the Portuguese bewildered.

When Setlla came back to her senses, there were only cleaners left in the stadium who were wiping the seats.She picked up her bag and sun umbrella and fled the field in a daze and panic.However, perhaps God must have her face the reality. When she walked out, she ran into Ferguson and Ronaldo walking side by side in the corridor.Fortunately, the Portuguese has taken off his red No. 7 jersey and is wearing a weird checkered jumper. If you look closely, you will find that his hair is permed like instant noodles, and his whole person exudes a rural non-mainstream atmosphere. .

"Would you like to come to the debut ceremony of the new aid, little princess?" Ferguson greeted her with a smile on his face, but Setlla, who was devastated, just nodded and looked straight at Ronaldo.

Ronaldo was horrified by her black eyes, and he didn't dare to act rashly when he heard Ferguson call her such a domineering title of "little princess".At this moment, a cool voice reached his ears: "Why is it number 7?"

I am also very puzzled!

Ronaldo didn't like her questioning tone, like he didn't deserve No. 7.He knew that he would receive a lot of criticism if he transferred to Manchester United at a high price and still wore No. 7, but he encountered such a blow on the first day of his debut, and the 18-year-old Portuguese said he couldn't bear it.

"Setlla, believe me, he will be the most shining No. 7." Ferguson put on a serious expression, patted Ronaldo on the shoulder, and guaranteed a normal tone.

Setlla was silent, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.Ronaldo opened his mouth anxiously to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, a sharp gaze swept over him, "I only know that he has no taste, what do you mean by a checkered sweater? You think you have a hair with instant noodles. Is it very trendy? And those teeth, so ugly, don’t you know how to fix them?”

"Setlla!" Ferguson glared at her angrily, but Setlla quietly put her hands behind her back, tried her best to suppress the trembling of her palms, and walked away from Ferguson without saying a word.

Ferguson turned his head and saw that Ronaldo was about to bite his lip, and quickly patted him on the back to comfort him: "She is just in a bad mood because of some things, not against you, don't worry about it."

Ronaldo nodded, his face returned to normal, but there was a lump in his heart.This unknown woman appeared suddenly, left some stabbing words abruptly, and then...appeared in his first show.

Ronaldo, who was sitting on the bench, was very unhappy. The woman sitting in the VIP seat was holding a fan and shaking it. The style of the fan was still a rare standard here, and it seemed to have an oriental charm.Fran, who was sitting on the bench with him, looked in the direction of Setlla in surprise, and murmured, "The little princess is here. I thought she would never watch Manchester United again."

Ronaldo finally couldn't bear to ask: "Why do you all call her little princess, who is she?"

"Oh listen newcomer, at Manchester United, you don't know Kean and you have to know the little princess. Her name is Setlla Magnier, do you understand?"

Looking directly at Fran's expectant eyes, Ronaldo was a little afraid to say that he didn't understand anything. After 5 seconds, he honestly shook his head.

"Oh God! You don't know the Magniel family, the largest shareholder of Manchester United, she is Magniel's daughter!"

Ronaldo was taken aback, and Setlla's accusations against him began to replay in his mind. No matter how you look at it, it is a [-]% bad impression!With such a big background, what if he just refrigerated him! !

The grief-stricken Ronaldo got Ferguson's warm-up instructions at this time.At this time, Manchester United led Bolton 1:0, but the opponent had already started to counterattack. Seeing that Manchester United was at a disadvantage, Ferguson waved his hand and replaced Butt with Ronaldo.Ronaldo, who played with his instant noodles on his head, was very active, and he pulled more to the left after playing.An almost unstoppable red figure protruding from the left to the right attracted the attention of all the fans present. In the 67th minute, Ronaldo used his dribbling skills for the first time, passing two defenders in a row on the left rib.Soon, his scrambling and breakthrough forced the opponent's Nolan to drag him down in the penalty area.

Manchester United won a penalty, which was taken by Van Nistelrooy.The Dutchman missed the penalty and wasted the opportunity created by Ronaldo, but Giggs scored twice to make the whole game lose suspense.

Setlla's gaze has been following the figure of No. 7 in the fluttering red dress on the field. He is so different from him. Whether it is the extremely bad hairstyle or the gorgeous and dazzling style of play, he is not the No. 7 she knows.Ferguson finally cut off all her thoughts about that man, and even the most iconic number 7 was given to a fledgling boy who was only 18 years old.

In the 88th minute, Ronaldo performed the same bicycle riding stunt as his alien Ronaldo with the same name. He swayed his legs continuously on the ball, detonating the highest decibels in Old Trafford.

"Manchester United proudly present their new number 7, CristianoRonaldo!!"

She is still unable to predict what role this boy, who will be called Ronaldinho and Ronaldo in half of Setlla's hometown, will play in her next life.But after watching the game, recalling what she said, she finally calmed down and admitted that she was just hurting people with her mouth.

So after the game, Ronaldo, who hadn't made any friends, walked alone to the apartment he just bought.He plans to buy a big house in the suburbs when he has more money, and then bring his mother to live in him. He didn’t speak English very well when he came to England, and he had a strong taste of rural Portuguese, so he didn’t dare to talk to her. The neighbors in the apartment talk.

His mother Dolores will come to take care of his life every week, but because there are still some things to deal with in Portugal, such as his property in Lisbon and the car that is not used, Dolores can not always bring him comfort .Just when Ronaldo thought he would just spend the night like this, a figure in a light-colored dress stood at his door.He had just seen the man's appearance clearly and opened his mouth to say something when he was tightly held by the arm.

"Follow me." Setlla spoke sharply, pulling Ronaldo towards the elevator, the Portuguese followed her inexplicably, and it was not easy to refuse this woman with a prominent background, so he could only ask weakly: "You look for me What are you doing?"

"Plaid sweater, huh?" Setlla stopped and looked back at what he was wearing, "Of course it's for clothes! Don't you think you'll embarrass Manchester United?"

Hearing this, and remembering Setlla's comments to him that day, Ronaldo felt aggrieved.After all, he is still an 18-year-old kid, born in poverty, with a family of six squeezed into a small room. He finally changed his life through football, and he is always ridiculed for his country accent.Now in Manchester, everything is unfamiliar, and his teammates also dislike his English accent, and don't like his flamboyant personality.And this little princess, who is said to be very powerful, said that about him, and now she still has to take care of him buying clothes!

It was only when Setlla arrived at the store that she noticed how Ronaldo looked like a child whose candy had been snatched, especially the red eye sockets... Is this boy really only two years younger than her?

"Maria, take him in to try on clothes, let's take the new one I made this morning." Throwing the Portuguese to the clerk, Setlla sat by the floor-to-ceiling window and drank coffee blindly.I can't explain why I suddenly made such a decision, maybe it's because of guilt, maybe it's because I can't get used to the fact that the legendary No. 7 of Old Trafford is so virtuous.

When Ronaldo came out of the fitting room with his head down and tugging at the hem of his clothes, Setlla froze for a moment when he turned his head.A simple blue and white tee with diagonal color matching, underneath are simple and low-key striped overalls, and dark blue denim shoes. The ultimate transformation from a rural nouveau riche to a small and fresh teenager is so easily completed!

In fact, Ronaldo is still a very young boy, which is very suitable for such a youthful and energetic outfit. Seeing his lack of confidence, Setlla nodded and said with a smile: "It looks good."

Ronaldo's eyes widened. Is this still the Setlla Magnier he met for the first time?How could he suddenly change sex?

But in the next second, Setlla frowned and pointed at his hair with a coffee cup, "This hairstyle needs to be changed, and the stylist will be here soon."

Now Ronaldo couldn't bear it anymore: "What do you mean?! You don't care what I wear, but you still care about my hairstyle! This is a hairstyle I've been thinking about for a long time, so don't worry about it!"

Setlla stood up suddenly, "I don't care if it's so ugly, your aesthetic level is really bad to a certain extent!"

"I have nothing to do with you, why do you care about me!" the Portuguese yelled in the elegant shop, completely ignoring his poor English.The shop assistants around held their breaths and dared not speak. Their shop owner had never brought a man here before. They were all wondering about the origin of this boy who played his first game for Manchester United today.

Setlla stood there in a daze for a long time, the coffee cup in her hand drooping down.She turned her head, pointed to the store door and said, "Go back, it's getting late."

Ronaldo felt awkward for a while, not knowing what to say, vaguely felt that he seemed to have said something wrong, but he didn't want to admit defeat in front of this woman, so he could only bow his head and walk out of the store silently.Looking back at the floor-to-ceiling windows under the light, he saw that the girl who was obviously not much older than him was still standing there sadly, as if she had been isolated from the hustle and bustle of the CBD, thinking about something on her mind alone.
