[football] exactly the same

48

Cristiano had no knowledge of this even more damaging conversation between Mendes and Mr. Aveiro.

In fact the 'cheerful' birthday guy was intently checking the candles on his birthday cake.

"Impressive, Chris." Cristiano smiled wrinkledly after carefully counting the densely packed candles, "How did you manage to put 27 candles on such a cake?"

Little Chris shrugged, "I'm just being honest."

Cristiano rolled his eyes, but he didn't know what the mood was, but he still happily ordered Chris to light candles for him as soon as possible. He was going to hold the most important candle blowing ceremony tonight.

Little Chris worked hard.

"Cristiano loves Chris as much as he loves himself." Mendes watched this scene and whispered to Mr. Aveiro, "By the way, although I can't deny that Cristiano was in Manchester...well, He did have some dark history back then, you know, he was young and ignorant, he didn’t know how to protect himself, and he lacked the awareness of alertness—but! Mr. Aveiro, please believe me, Cristiano is definitely a good boy who keeps himself clean, he just It was naive back then.

Mr. Aveiro was clearly incredulous, and even smiled sarcastically.

"There may be some misunderstanding between you and him." Mendes continued, "Cristiano would never let little Chris fall into such a terrible situation. If Mr. Messi was the most important to Cristiano before - as much as I always hate to admit it - but right now, the most important thing for Cristiano is Chris."

Mr. Aveiro looked at Mendez with his gray-blue eyes and didn't speak or smile.

"Cristiano regards Mr. Messi as an opponent, but young Chris is his only travel companion-on the road of football, no one can understand him better than young Chris and can accompany him better. Aveiro Sir, he cherishes Chris very much, and he can't tolerate anyone ruining everything about Chris-even himself."

At this time, the onlookers began to wait with bated breath for Cristiano to make a wish. At this time, Mendes and Mr. Aveiro also stopped talking.

"What did you wish for?"

Although he knew that maybe it would be better not to say it, but little Chris couldn't help being curious.

Cristiano seems to be willing to share his heart, "I made a wish about 2014."

All the people present remained silent-no one did not know what was the thing in 2014 that Cristiano should now receive a wishing number plate from God for it. On the contrary, it was precisely because they knew what it was that they felt I have nothing to say.

'You will dream come true. '—This is a lie. It is still unknown how far Portugal can go in the European Cup in June this year. It is obviously not a wise move to talk about the ownership of the Hercules Cup now.

'Stop talking nonsense Cristiano, you wasted a wish. ’ — which may be true, but it’s clearly antisocial.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and in the end it was Little Chris who stood up again to save mankind.

"When I celebrate my birthday, I will make exactly the same wish - if two people talk together, will God hear you more clearly?" Little Chris said seriously, "I also hope that I can get the Hercules Cup. "

'Dad, you are the best!My God, is this the Delaunay Cup?It's really beautiful. 'Little Chris will always remember how he looked at the Delaunay Cup with admiring eyes in the Portuguese national team dressing room when he was 6 years old.

'Yeah, great.But everyone in this room is great, Chris, can you tell them one more time for me how great they are? —Everyone, dear, tell each of them one more time for me, please? ’ Cristiano hugged little Chris with tears and a smile, ‘I’ve told them how proud I am of them, but Chris, I want you to know how amazing they are too.I also want you to let them know that you love them as much as I do, and of course you respect them at the same time. '

Although little Chris didn't know the special meaning of doing this - because he loved and respected everyone around his father, but he was always willing to do what he could for his father.

So back then, he walked through the locker room grids and said to his father's teammates one by one, 'Sir, you are amazing'.

They faced him with unprecedentedly surprised and touched smiles, hugged him, and then told him that your father is the most amazing one, and you should always love and adore him.

It was one of the most triumphant moments little Chris had ever seen—everyone loved and respected each other, and he couldn't think of a day in his life that showed the definition of beauty more than that.

Then he happily ran back to his father and told him how his teammates had praised him.

But immediately, he said the most regrettable sentence in his life so far.

He said to his father: 'Dad, can we get the Hercules Cup next year?I wish I could see it for myself. '

The smile on my father's face disappeared almost instantly like the ebbing sea water, "No, my dear, I have never been able to find out the will of God, but I know this one thing. '

'Even if we ask God [-] times, God will only tell you, don't think about what doesn't belong to you, or I will take back what belongs to you as punishment. 'Father said dryly,'No, dear, don't worry, I'm not angry with you, I'm angry with myself--I can fulfill your many wishes, but only this most important one, I can't do it. '

He was willing to do everything for his father, and the last thing he wanted to do was to hurt his father—so tonight, when the same topic came up again, he chose to stand by his father no matter what.

Even if it's his paltry compensation - and he really thinks that way, no player doesn't want that, he as a father's son wants to make up for his father's regrets, and as a player, he doesn't hide his *.

But obviously, these words are too childish, even more naive than what Cristiano said just now.

Every guest chose to remain silent, as if it was the safest thing to do at this moment.

Both Cristiano and Chris Jr. expected this, but what they didn't expect was that the person who broke the silence was neither Mendes nor Mourinho, but Mr. Aveiro.

"Of course, Chris, God will hear." Mr. Aveiro stepped out from the silent crowd, and gently placed his steady and warm hand on Chris's back, "Chris, as long as you are willing to fight for this, God Will always stand by your side and listen to your wishes."

Although Mendes didn't agree with this sentence - there are always some things in this world that God will not reward you, such as the World Cup and Portugal are impossible - but he is obviously grateful to Mr. Aveiro for being a good man. This second is an effort for social order, so he quickly said, "Okay Cristiano, for God's sake, God always loves you, and we always love you. But you also have to love love We, we don't want to discuss 442 and 4231 with you on such a carnival night."

The guests laughed wittily and began to boo at Cristiano to open the presents.

Cristiano is as good as he can be.

"Thank you, sir." Chris quietly retreated from the crowd, "Thank you for your willingness to comfort me and Cristiano."

"Why?" Mr. Aveiro's smile looked a little puzzled, "Chris, I'm very serious, this is no comfort."

Chris was tongue-tied, and realized that what Mr. Aveiro said was not hypocrisy or social norms. In fact, he did not understand football at all. He might not know what Portugal won the World Cup. Disaster.He said such a passage only out of the piety of a believer.

"Chris, I don't know football, and I don't know what you are going to challenge. But Chris, God always loves his children who are willing to fight."

"Also, your most valuable asset is not what you get, but what you do to get it—someone gets a lot, but he doesn't get elevated because of what he gets, because he's just a follower, he just follows You can get it in the footsteps of others. But you are different, you can open your own path, although it is not the shortest distance, but you will always gain something." Mr. Aveiro finished this sentence softly, as if he wanted to reach out and touch Chris's shoulder, But in the end he hesitated.

Chris was silent for a while, and took the initiative to shake Mr. Aveiro's hand, "Thank you, Uncle Aveiro."

"Wait a minute, you don't have to thank your Uncle Aveiro."

At some point, Cristiano quietly appeared beside them.

"Mr. Aveiro, you have to explain to me first, what is the meaning of this gift you gave me? Is it the third world war letter?" Cristiano said slowly, and then showed a brand new gift box.

very cute.

It's pink, with pretty cartoon cats and little bows printed on it.

Little Chris looked at the gift box of cartoon xylitol lollipops that were obviously given to children, and began to wonder if he had done something to offend God.
