Frenzy [football]

"Garrincha is a good name, you have to cherish it."

Just for this sentence, Lei Yi, who was disobedient to discipline no matter how much he was taught by his family, and even made the head coach want to beat him up hard, turned his eyes red and almost cried out.

But Bailey didn't laugh at Lei Yi's crying, but waved to him and said, "Good boy, come here, let me take a good look at you."

When Lei Yi walked to Bailey's bedside, Bailey said: "I watched your game. You scared me, kid. Your back with the ball is almost exactly the same as him. But, you are still A child, much shorter than him."

Although Bailey didn't say the name of "him", Lei Yi certainly knew it.What the old man in front of him was talking about was Garrincha.Manuel Francisco dos Santos.

Hearing that familiar yet unfamiliar voice and the person described by the other party, Lei Yi couldn't hold back and burst into tears.Ke Bailey's voice didn't stop.

"You have to play well and cherish your talent. Don't drink, don't go to nightclubs, listen to the coach."

Birdie Garrincha, he has a terrible talent that has never been succeeded and cannot be copied, but it is a pity that he is addicted to alcohol every night, he drinks alcohol all night, and returns to the court after dawn, contributing game after game Victory.

"You don't need to find a lot of women, as long as she is not with you because of your status and money. Find someone who loves you and will take good care of you."

In Garrincha's short life, he had many women.Moreover, he once staged a peachy scandal that ruined his reputation in Brazil because of a woman.But no one has succeeded in stopping his indulgence, and no one has tamed his unruliness.

"Remember not to be fooled by clubs and advertisers."

Garrincha made a lot of money for the club that owned him, but he himself has never lived a life that can be called affluent because he can't read the contract and never asks anyone to read the contract.And... he himself doesn't seem to care about that at all.Even he has always just stuffed cash in many corners of the house very casually, and he doesn't remember how much wealth he owns.

It seemed that every word of the old man in front of him could make this stubborn boy burst into tears.Lei Yi stood by Bailey's bedside like this, crying for a long time.Bailey, on the other hand, didn't tease him or interrupt him.It's just that there is a kind and gentle look at this boy who made him feel very kind when he just met for the first time today.

When Lei Yi realized how embarrassing and embarrassing he was today, he finally managed to stop crying, and frowned with red eyes, looking at Bailey like an adult.And Bailey, who is already looking very thin now, smiled back at him.It's a completely different smile than the one he gave to people on the court in his twenties.But each of them comes from the same soul.

"I've prepared a gift for you, little guy." As he spoke, he motioned Lei Yi to look at the rectangular box on the window sill.

"I... can I?"

In front of Bailey at this moment, Lei Yi actually seemed so cautious, even humble, but with a sense of intimacy.The old man nodded to him with a smile, and said, "You can open it, it's here."

So Lei Yi held the very light rectangular box in his hand, but the weight in his heart had already settled down, walked to the head of Bailey's bed, and carefully sat down on Bailey's bed under Bailey's gesture. side, and opened the box.Lying in that rectangular box was a jersey with Garrincha's name on it... Botafogo's NO.60 jersey in the 11s.

"I'm really not used to seeing you in a Sao Paulo shirt, boy. This shirt was worn by Garrincha when he was still playing. I was playing for Santos and Garrincha was at Bottas. Fogo. We swapped jerseys after a certain game. I've kept this jersey. Now, it's yours."

After finishing speaking, Bailey continued: "I hope you don't think I'm offended, kid. After all, you are now a player of the Sao Paulo team."

Surprisingly, Lei Yi took off the Sao Paulo jersey on his upper body after picking up the jersey worn by Garrincha, and put on the black and white striped jersey with a Pentagram jersey.

When Lei Yi was wearing a Sao Paulo jersey with a white background and only black, white and red stripes on the chest, what he showed was a kind of youthful vigor and brilliance.But when he put on the black and white striped Botafogo jersey, he showed a kind of calmness and revealed a bit of sharpness from it.

Lei Yi looked at Bailey, smiled and put on the black ball pants of the Botafogo team.

Fortunately, the current Lei Yi is much shorter than Garrincha at that time, so there is no problem in wearing it like this.

When Lei Yi looked at Bailey expecting to be praised, the old man nodded approvingly and praised: "It's very suitable. It's just that you look thinner."

Lei Yi, who still had tears on his face, laughed foolishly, and then...he asked seriously: "I heard that when you were bankrupt, you found out that Garrincha was destitute. .And then...you called up the friends who played football together in the past, and played a charity match for him. And, handed over all the income to him?"

"Yes."

……

About an hour later, Lei Yi left Pele's house, and it was Pele's grandson York Book who was mentioned by his teammate Dominguez who brought him to the door.

Although Bailey is a black man, his two wives and daughter-in-law are all white.Until his grandchildren, his youngest grandson, York, seems to be very close to Caucasians, but he is full of vitality unique to people in Latin America.Book of York and Lei Yi exchanged contact information, and seemed to want to say something to him.

However, what Bailey said to him has always been in Lei Yi's mind, preventing him from doing more, other thinking.

[When Garrincha is sober, he is always full of guilt towards us friends who helped him, and also towards himself.But once the alcohol attacked his nerves, it seemed that he was no longer the friend we knew. 】【After getting drunk once, he once told me that there was once a guy who was by his side all the time, whispering in his ear that he should cherish his body.But that person has been away for many years. 】【A lot of times, I can feel his pain.But none of us could stop the alcohol from ruining him like that.There is nothing more embarrassing than feeling powerless. 】Recalling the details of how he got along with that person, Lei Yi's footsteps became faster and faster.However, Bailey's words that seemed to be exhorting and admonishing turned in his mind faster than his steps.No matter how he ran in the strong wind, he couldn't get rid of it.

[You have to play football well and cherish your talent.Don't drink, don't go to nightclubs, listen to the coach. 】【Find someone who loves you and will take good care of you. 】

[Remember not to be fooled by clubs and advertisers. 】

The tears that had already stopped poured out again at this time without saying anything.It even blinded him to see the road ahead.

I will not! !

I won't go to nightclubs!Get addicted to alcohol! !

Lei Yi shouted in his heart.He even tried so hard to suppress his desire to scream.

I know my talent is not as good as Garrincha!Garrincha is the real genius!He should have been the king of the ball! !

Apart from a pair of long and short legs, I have nothing to compare with him! !

Therefore, I will not let myself fall to the place where Garrincha suffered a crushing defeat! !

……

In the 13th round of the Brazilian Serie A, Sao Paulo played away against Cruzeiro.

In the 14th round of the Brazilian Serie A, Sao Paulo played against Vasco da Gama at home.

In the 15th round of the Brazilian Serie A, Sao Paulo was a guest at Gremio.

In the 16th round of the Brazilian Serie A, Sao Paulo played against Atletico Mineiro at home.

In the 17th round of the Brazilian Serie A, Sao Paulo played away against Fluminense.

In these five games, Thunder Wing came off the bench in the second half of the game and scored two goals and provided two assists.Almost every time Lei Yi played, he could directly or indirectly change the wind direction on the field.He may have become the most talked about monster player in the Brazilian League for more than a month.

Maybe it won't take too long for everyone to know that "Garrincha" is back in the Brazilian Serie A!He can also trick opponents with his feet.He can also use his legs of different lengths to bring the most beautiful footwork performances.

And before that, he may have a more significant battle to fight.

In the Asian qualifiers for the 2038 World Cup, the Chinese team has already been mired in the top ten in the Asian region.They only finished third in the group.According to the rules of the World Cup qualifiers, in the Asian top ten competition, the top two of the two groups can directly advance to the World Cup.

Afterwards, No.3 of the two groups will have two rounds of home and away matches, and the winner can compete with No.5 in South America for that precious World Cup spot.

Now, there is only such a narrow road ahead of the Chinese team.

But anyone who has a little understanding of football competitions will know that in the competition for qualifying places with teams from other continents, only Asian teams were able to move from Australia, which had not yet been incorporated into Asia, in 98. Grabbed the precious top 32 places in the World Cup.

That is to say, during the life-and-death battle between China and Uzbekistan in the play-offs, Lei Yi, who was only 16 years old and was supposed to only participate in the U17 game, was recruited by the coach of the Chinese team, Andrik.But even so, fans still don't know anything about the strange name "Lei Yi".

In fact, the South American event has always been recognized as good-looking, but it is undeniable that it is really unpopular.

Most of the time, you won't even find English commentary for South American races.And in the huge Chinese-speaking market, there was only one pay TV station that did not cover the whole country bought the rights to broadcast some South American events.Moreover, with the development of Internet communication, the living space of pay TV is constantly being squeezed, and finally even that TV station no longer renews the copyright of the South American competition.

This caused a lag in information about the South American league.

In many cases, you can only know what terrible achievements he has achieved in South American football only after the players in that league have gone to the top five European leagues or even played for the giants.

Therefore, only a few weeks after Lei Yi made his football debut, a very small number of fans discovered such a monster.It's a pity that they can't understand the commentary in a small language that speaks extremely fast.They also couldn't determine which country in Asia this impossibly young player was from.The name written by Lei Yi on the jersey is even more misleading.

Obviously the name "Garrincha" makes people think that he may just be an Asian player who was born in Brazil, grew up in Brazil, and has Brazilian nationality.

In addition, Lei Yi seems to have no interest in anything other than playing football.He does not have his own Twitter, Facebook, and Weibo, the three major social network accounts.Of course, this made the Chinese people lose a channel to discover him.

This situation continued until the eve of the Asian play-off match between the Chinese team and the Uzbekistan team...
