Figo accepted Deco's suggestion and talked to Cristiano that afternoon.

No one knows what he told Cristiano, nor how Cristiano responded to his brother's concerns.Deco only knew that Figo told him afterwards that the matter was over and there was no need to mention it again.

After a period of time, Deco did not think about it again because of his happy life.

Portugal did not encounter any difficulties in the group stage. After the last game of the group stage, Scolari gave the team a day off. He focused on studying the video with the coaching staff and perfecting the follow-up work plan-good results in the group stage Get everyone in a good mood and motivated.

It’s rare for the team members to take it easy. Those who are single will go shopping and eat with teammates who are close to each other in twos and threes. Those who are with friends will go on a date with their girlfriends or simply doubledate. In short, they have to have some fun.

Life is too short to have fun.

But Cristiano, as a single dog in the eyes of everyone, and an excellent hook-up partner for his girlfriends in the eyes of wives, also received invitations from older brothers under the command of his wife and girlfriend-the reason is clear: meeting some cute girls is good for the body and mind healthy.

Cristiano sternly and decisively refused on the grounds of "studying the game video".

"Are you really going to spend your whole life with football?" Ricardo asked incredulously, "Are you crazy?"

Cristiano frowned, but he couldn't say that he was dating a man to watch a video, so he just laughed and slipped away quickly.

Rio played more than 20 minutes in the second half as Argentina won only the second of three group games.

"Maradona went to the Argentine locker room after the game!" Leo hid in the hotel room and said to Cristiano, who was sitting on the bed and tuned the timeline of the video, "He said I played well and asked me to play well. Work hard and help Argentina win the World Cup in the future."

Cristiano didn't have any feelings for Maradona's name, but he understood Messi's enthusiasm for the name Maradona, "Congratulations, can we start watching now?"

Leo paid no heed.

"He thought I would be an important part of Argentina, he said Argentina needed me."

Cristiano couldn't respond to the voices of the young fans, so he directly pressed the "play" button to start playing the video.

Leo seemed to be blind and deaf, and continued to live in his own world.

"Maradona, do you know who Maradona is?"

Game No. 701 minutes, Leo stepped onto the stage of the World Cup for the first time in his life-this is the moment that countless players dream of all their lives.

However, it was not until the No.705 minute that Leo touched the ball for the first time. Cristiano guessed that it should be the beginning of a period of history.

"He is the hero of Argentina, the most soul-stirring epic in football history." Leo didn't pay attention to the video on the screen at all, he just continued his Amway.

But the first touch wasn't perfect, Leo was probably too nervous, he didn't hit the right spot, the ball went off the expected trajectory and flew out of the baseline.

"He's had the most heartbreaking defeat, he's been heartbroken by FIFA."

The opposition keeper took the kick straight across the half to his striker - but his striker wasn't really a reliable guy and he was tackled quickly.

The ball was given to the front court again, and Leo unexpectedly appeared at the receiving point and took the ball.

"He was thrown to the top by fate."

In the video, Leo on the court entered his own world. Facing the opposing defender who was rushing up, he shifted the ball to his right foot with his left foot, faked to the right, and then threw the ball again at the moment when the opposing defender was stunned. Switched to the left foot and passed the defender from the left.

Cristiano heard the uproar of tens of thousands of people on the field.

He guessed they must be asking each other who the young man was.

"But fate can also throw him into the trough without hesitation, as if he was just overnight seafood that he forgot to put in the refrigerator."

The defender who was swayed felt a huge humiliation, regardless of Leo was only a young man, and threw him to the ground - so what if he is a very talented young man?No one is obliged to protect their opponents on the pitch.

"Fate teased him, but he did not yield."

The referee gave the opponent a yellow card, Leo stood up and rejoined the game.

Leo didn't get the ball for the next 5 minutes.

Until in a fight for the ball in the opponent's half, the opposing defender poked the ball away from Argentina. A defender immediately followed up to get the ball, but Leo was one step ahead.

He immediately turned around with the ball.

"Every day he's expanding his advantage over his peers, every day he's proving he's different. And he's incomparable."

He picks the ball up high, over the opponent in front of him, walks around in front of the opponent and takes the ball, and at the same time, it goes straight to the ball without adjustment.

"There may be occasional mistakes."

The Argentine teammates obviously didn't expect that Leo would pass the ball at this time, so naturally they couldn't receive the ball-they were stunned by their acquaintance, and no one could understand what this meant.

The camera suddenly showed Maradona in the stands.

Cristiano saw Maradona frowning and shaking his head.

"But it always turns out that he's actually always right."

Maradona laughed again, then shook his head and frowned again.

Cristiano guessed that the Argentine hero must have been aware too, that he must have known that the spot where Leo clearly saw his pass was a wonderful open space.

As long as someone can appear in that position, get the ball sideways and hit a long shot with one foot.

There is no defender in front of him, and the goalkeeper may not be able to react-in short, it is a pretty good opportunity.

"He's always right, it's just that stupid mortals can't understand his great mind."

There is nothing wrong with Leo's passing, it's just that others don't realize it.

Maradona looked disappointed and happy - he may have realized at that second the biggest weakness of the future Argentina, and at the same time he was proud that Argentina had such a talent.

"What will happen to you if you don't win the World Cup?" Cristiano suddenly interrupted Leo's rare lyric when he saw this.

Leo froze for a moment, he didn't seem to have thought about this question at all.

This question is probably too cruel for a talented and ambitious young man who was born in a country with a glorious history like Argentina.

But after about 5 minutes, Leo still answered.

"I'm alive, but I'm dead."

He looked at Cristiano with gray eyes, as if he had reached the twilight of his career and had achieved nothing with the national team.

- Cristiano still remembers the 2014 World Cup final.

He didn't watch the game where Messi was hyped as the new king in advance. He didn't want to watch his biggest competitor in his life be crowned king. Think about these things yourself.

Cristiano didn’t know that Messi didn’t win until he heard that Mendes had lost [-] U.S. dollars because he bet on Argentina to win the championship. He asked Mendes casually why he bet on Argentina, and Mendes’ answer is worth learning: he Even if I win the title, I still earn some money, and if he loses, I lose money, but I know he is still a fake Phoenix.

At the time, Cristiano just felt that Mendes was deep, but it was not until he saw Messi for the first time after that game that he suddenly felt that Mendes was cold.

That day was the first time Messi hadn't greeted him or even looked at him for the first time since he knew him.

Cristiano didn't intend to go there to make fun of him, but after looking at him with a cold face, he turned sideways to face him, and went to greet Di Maria, but suddenly he didn't know where the determination came from, and walked straight away. Pushing past Di Maria, he said to Messi: "Didn't you see me?"

Di Maria was stunned at the time, seeing Cristiano's expression, he thought that Messi stole Cristiano's son when they didn't know it.

However, Messi ignored Cristiano even so, just nodded to Di Maria, "I'll go first."

Cristiano grabs Messi.

Di Maria hurried over to help his teammates from the national team, but he never expected Messi to knock off Cristiano's hand and push him away, and then left without looking back.

No one has ever seen such a violent Messi.

I'm alive, but I'm dead.I don't need to see you anymore because "Messi" doesn't exist anymore. "Back then" Messi didn't say it, he did it directly.

——Cristiano was immersed in the memory, but was soon interrupted by Messi, who knew nothing about it.

"What about you?" he asked Cristiano. "Where would you be without the World Cup?"

Cristiano was silent for a while, but only for a while.

"I'm sorry, I longed for it all my life, but I'm still proud of everything I have - some things just don't come to me because I pursue them so painfully. There are always things in this world that you can pursue But it can’t be forced. I’ve got everything I can get for Portugal, and I only need to be worthy of my conscience every day.”

"But the World Cup is my conscience for Argentina," Leo said.
