[football] exactly the same

Little Chris suddenly thought of something he thought he had forgotten for a long time.

'Cristiano, Chris is very much like you. '

'Of course, Jorge, of course.Tell me something I don't know - I mean, of course Chris misses me, he's my pride and my favorite.How could he not be like me?He was simply a more perfect version of me. '

Cristiano, perhaps, was casually arranging his hair—for an event for his brand an hour later.

Little Chris stood quietly outside their door, proudly listening to his father's praise to him.

Even in his heart he probably felt that this was just a compliment from his father.

'Cristiano, but Chris is a little bit like you - and that happens to be the key. ' That seemed to be the first time Mendes wasn't amused by Cristiano's smugness.

In fact, on the contrary, he was unusually serious that day.

'where?Don't like hairspray? ' Cristiano still sounded unimpressed.

'No, Cristiano, I mean it.What makes him least like you is his gentleness and gentlemanliness. '

Little Chris couldn't understand, but he didn't smile anymore either.

'I can't hear what's wrong with this.Jorge, we have struggled all our lives so that our child can be a more graceful human being, and now that he has done it, and done it very well, I don't see what's wrong here. ' Cristiano's voice didn't sound very happy.

He often played childish temper in front of close friends like Mendez, but it was never serious—at least not as serious as this time.

'He's gritty, he's talented, and I don't see where there's anything wrong with gentleness and gentlemanliness. ’ Cristiano then ended their conversation.

Little Chris didn't understand why his father put these two seemingly unrelated things together, but now he seems to have a vague understanding.

"...Do you have any problems with your mashed potatoes?" Cristiano looked at the mashed potatoes in Little Chris's bowl, and wrinkled his nose in disgust.Pepe poked him with an elbow, and then smiled—this adjective may not be very common for Pepe, but it was the only word that could describe the situation at the time, "Chris, if you have any distress can tell us."

Little Chris looked at Cristiano hesitantly, then shook his head vigorously.

Cristiano was stunned for a moment, then suddenly picked up the plate, walked away and changed seats, and ran to sit next to Coentran, who was happily exchanging dishes that they didn't like with Nani.

Coentraan's hand transporting the rapeseed stopped suddenly, and Nani was more alert and stuffed the carrot on the fork into his mouth in a second.

"Fabio!" Cristiano stared at the rapeseed and warned Coentrao loudly, "Eat it!"

Pepe looked at Cristiano hesitantly, then at little Chris who was eating mashed potatoes with his head down and didn't speak, and after much deliberation, he said, "Chris, in fact, Cristiano is very kind... Although he Sometimes you may not be very caring about people. But I don't think you need to be too... guarded against him?"

Pepe didn't know how to describe Chris's behavior-the defensiveness seemed inaccurate, but otherwise it seemed inexplicable.

Little Chris gave a muffled hum, but still didn't say anything.

Pepe didn't really like to point fingers at other people's affairs and make irresponsible remarks, but seeing him like this, I don't know why he felt a little pitiful, and after thinking about it, he continued to say: "Chris, are you and Cristiano? What is the misunderstanding?"

If there is one person in this world who can never misunderstand Cristiano, it may be only little Chris—it’s just that little Chris dare not say that now, because once he says it, he can’t explain why he has it. This kind of self-confidence refused to say anything to Cristiano anyway.

"No. I know that Mr. is a very good person, but..." Little Chris hesitated a little, as if he didn't know whether his next words would cause ambiguity.

Pepe encouraged him, "If you don't want it, I don't have to tell Cristiano."

Little Chris thought about it for a while, and felt that there was probably no progress in thinking like this, so he was still moved by Pepe, "Mr. Mourinho and Mr. Queiroz said... I don't know, I think they all think I'm just a good player."

Pepe:? ? ?Is there something wrong with this sentence? ? ?

"They make a distinction between a good player and a leader. They say it's not enough to be a good player," Chriss Jr. continued.

Pepe can answer many questions on the court, such as: how to defend a striker who suddenly rushes forward with the ball, how to provoke the opponent to make mistakes without being shown a yellow card, and even, if he can adjust after a defeat own state of mind.

But he couldn't answer a topic about the leader.

It’s not that he refuses to help little Chris, but he is definitely not the one who can help him—Mourinho is right, there are many people in this world who are born to be good players, but they are born to be leaders There are very few people.

Pepe may have been born a good player, but he was far from being a leader.

"Why don't you talk to Cristiano? If there's anyone in Real Madrid and Portugal you can both trust and ask, it's probably Cristiano - he may not be the perfect leader right now, but At least, I think he may have more experience on this issue." Pepe said, "Many people only see the ostentatious part of Cristiano's character, and the unflattering part of ostentatious, but they don't understand. , a leader can never be silent."

"This is the only part I can answer you: Chris, the leader can be wrong, but he can't be silent." Pepe's attitude is still gentle.

"But I don't want to tell my husband." Little Chris poked his mashed potatoes with his head down.

The only reason Pepe can think of to stop Chris Jr. talking to Cristiano about this may be: Jr. Chris is worried that Cristiano thinks he wants to replace him, so he has reservations about him, or hates him.

If this is the case, it is a big misunderstanding, Pepe thought.

"Chris, although many people may have said that Cristiano is still a child, but at least he is a kind child. He will not have any prejudice against you, you can ask him, at most he will not tell you Yes, but if you think he will think of you because of your problem, it is really a misunderstanding." Pepe painstakingly explained her future eukaryote.

Little Chris frowned, "I know, I just feel... I don't know how to tell him, will he be disappointed in me?"

Pepe didn't expect Little Chris to say that, "Why do you think he will be disappointed? Isn't it normal for young people to have problems?"

If he was just an ordinary person, Little Chris would not feel that the other party would disappoint him, or he might not necessarily care whether the other party was disappointed in him.But the problem is, he is facing Cristiano now.

You know, what he has always been most afraid of is that Cristiano will disappoint him.

When he stood on the sideline for the first time, he was afraid that Cristiano would disappoint him. When he was told that he was not a leader but didn't know what to do, his first reaction was still worried that Cristiano would disappoint him.

All his father gave him was pride and pride, and he didn't want to leave his father a little disappointed in return.

"But I'm very worried. I'm afraid that he will feel... I'm afraid that he will be disappointed in me, even though I may not be an important person to him." Little Chris couldn't help but feel a little depressed when he said the last half of the sentence, but thought After a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked Pepe, "Am I important to him? So important that he will be disappointed in me?"

Pepe stared at Little Chris dumbfounded, and turned his head in slow motion with a stiff neck to look at Cristiano who pretended to be staring at the people around him eating vegetables, but in fact kept sneaking glances at his side.

"Then when you were preparing to play for the first time..." Pepe's expression was a little awkward.

"Yes, I was suddenly afraid that my poor performance on the field would make him disappointed in me." Little Chris was very frank this time.

'Oh my god, that's horrible, you can't think he's your kid just because he looks like you - you're a kid yourself. '

Pepe felt that what Cassie said was very reasonable at the time, but now looking at the performance of Little Chris, he seems to think that Cristiano's mentality is not so sensational.

After all, Cristiano was just a cameo as a father, but someone here is a cameo as a son.
