Chapter 147 Why Play Football?
In this way, he was trained by the coaches in the training ground during the day.

At night, when the time came, the three climbed over the barbed wire wall and entered the pitch-black, empty training ground for additional training.

On the empty training field, the sound of feet hitting the football kept ringing, and occasionally there was a cry of pain as the football hit the body.

At the beginning, the frequency of such cries of pain appeared very high, but gradually, the frequency of such occurrences became less and less.

The three practiced in the dark and achieved good results.

In a sense, when they were practicing routines, they really didn't need to look at them. The repeated practice made them record each other's running speed.When you get the ball, how and how fast the opponent will run, and where the opponent will appear after you turn around, you don't need to rely on these.

Of course, for Kaka, in this process, his fastest improvement is probably the speed of climbing over the wall...

From the initial slowness to the present, Kaka can climb over the wall as high as one person as quickly as Rongguang.

He didn't want to hear Rong Guang's ridicule and sarcasm every time he came to training.

For this reason, he not only trained hard, but also practiced climbing the wall very hard.

During this period, Kaka even forgot to pray alone on Tuesday night-because he was sweating on the training ground while praying.

For the first time, he forgot to pray to the Lord.

But he is not the kind of hypocritical person. Later, when he thought about it, he decided to go to the church to repent and ask the Lord for forgiveness after he won the national championship.At that time, with the aura and glory of the national champion, he believes that the Lord will understand him.

Because he performed well on the court and helped the team win the championship, he is also promoting the prestige of the Lord.

When it was time to go to the away game the next day, the three of them finished their last extra training at night.

After the training, the three young men did not climb over the wall and return to their room, but lay down on the turf of the training ground.

After sweating, let the cool breeze blow at night, it is very cool, much more comfortable than blowing on the air conditioner in the room.

Looking at the stars in the sky, none of the three spoke, only their heavy breathing.

They have to complete high-intensity training during the day and practice alone at night, which is indeed a severe test for their physical fitness.

But these efforts are worthwhile. During the day's training, coach Osvaldo was surprised by their speed of progress.

He also wondered if this is the magic power of Glory, anyone who trains with him will improve faster than usual...

"Tomorrow is the last half day of training, and the day after tomorrow is the final, the real final." Lucas spoke first.

It was the first time for him to participate in the final of such an important competition. Rong Guang had already participated in the final of the Rio-São Paulo Championship, and he was still a blank sheet of paper.

So he will inevitably have some expectations and nervousness.

"Yeah, I want to make Corinthians look good!" When talking about Corinthians, Rong Guang has a lot of fighting spirit.Because the first stop he came to Brazil to look for opportunities to play football was Corinthians, but Corinthians kicked him out without even letting him in.

Rong Guang is not a narrow-minded person, but there are some things that cannot be easily let go.

Besides, even if it wasn't for him, but just for Godot, this tone should help him out-in fact, Godot suffered more damage than him in the process of being rejected.

Kaka didn't say a word. He wasn't lying directly on the ground like the other two. He was sitting on the ground, but he also looked up at the starry sky.In front of his eyes, what appeared was not the dark blue night sky, but the Pakambu Stadium, which was the home court of Corinthians. He began to look forward to the game the day after tomorrow.

This week was a week that Kaka had never experienced before. He was forced to live with someone he didn't like. The three of them climbed over the wall to train every night, and forgot to pray to the Lord... He felt that he had done all the crazy things in his life this week.

But now he didn't have those uneasy feelings of guilt in his heart.

Instead, he was excited.

What kind of rewards will I get for the hard work I put in this week in the competition?

He was looking forward to it.

"If I win the championship, I will definitely become famous! When I go to the bar, those women will know me! I don't need to take the initiative to strike up a conversation anymore, I have to be more reserved! Then let those women take the initiative to throw themselves into their arms, hehe..." Lucas' voice changed when he mentioned women.

Although Kaka is a devout believer, he is very disgusted with nightclubs and those coquettish women, but after a week of contact, he also understands Lucas next to him, and will not criticize this teammate's personal preferences.So when he heard the words, he only smiled slightly, and would not get up and leave in a huff.

"If we win the national championship, will there be more bonuses?" Money is always the most important concern of Rongguang.

He had already decided that after the end of this season, he must find time to return to China. He would give all the money he had saved in Brazil to his parents, and then let them buy a house in Shanghai, so that his grandparents and younger brother could be brought to Shanghai.What's the point of staying in a place like this when you don't understand the language, the culture is very different, and you can't even eat food?

If Glory is not for making money, he would also prefer to stay in China rather than a foreign country.I always listened to my parents telling me about working in Shanghai after they came back, which gave Rongguang a vague "dream" at that time, that he must live out his own personality in Shanghai!
So now that he has money, Rongguang's first goal is to buy a house for his parents in Shanghai.

One is considered a Shanghainese with a house, right?
Rong Guang thought so.

But later, when he learned the latest housing prices in Shanghai from his sister's reply, he calculated that his current savings might only be enough to buy a small house in a remote place in Shanghai...

He wants to buy a big house for his parents in Shanghai!
How embarrassing is it that I boasted about Haikou but couldn't make it happen?

So he changed his mind again and decided to wait until he played another season before going back. At that time, the money he saved should be enough.

Rong Guang really admired his wit!
※※※

One is a woman, the other is money...

Kaka sighed in his heart, this is the highest goal of many players.

What about yourself?

I don't rely on football to make money, and I don't like those romantic people who take the initiative to throw themselves into their arms.

Why do I play football?
He suddenly thought of an incident when he was young, and that incident had been dusty in his heart for a long time, and he almost forgot it.

I didn't expect that when he was bored now, he would turn it out of his mind.

When he was very young, he was still in school. In school, he excelled in his studies and was liked by every teacher. But there was a child who was more popular than him in school, even... respected by teachers and classmates.

Kaka could no longer remember the child's full name, only knew that everyone called him Paul, and forgot what his face looked like.

He is a very good kid who plays football, he has a golden left foot.

Once Kaka celebrated his birthday, most of the students who were invited did not come. They all went to watch Paul's game.

Since then, Kaka no longer likes to eat birthday cakes, and he has a very strong idea in his heart. For the first time, he wants to defeat that Paul, and wants to regain everyone's attention and love for him.

At that time, although his father didn't support him very much in playing football - Kaka had a better choice and a brighter future than playing football - but he supported his efforts to be the first and began to provide him with various football videos and equipment.From then on, he didn't even wear a uniform to attend the baptism, and his jersey and sneakers became his only decorations.Every day, he trains hard and watches game videos.His teams continued to lose, but it was during those brutal years of football that his skills improved.

It is no exaggeration to say that without the pain of failure and ridicule, there would be no Kaka today.

So, I play football to fight for the first place, right?
For the beating heart in my chest?

Thinking of this, Kaka suddenly reacted.

How similar was my childhood experience to Rong Guang's experience when he first came to the team...

At that time, in Rong Guang's heart, was he also a Paul?

He turned his head to look at Lucas lying on the turf and dreaming of the glory of life after being rich.

Amidst the mocking eyes and sneering voices of others, he just stood there, pointed at himself, and said that he wanted to defeat himself.

Did all that pain become his strength?

That's why his progress is so rapid?
Kaka thought of what his father once said: People who don't feel pain have no future.

If Paul hadn't made himself feel pain at the birthday party, would he have achieved what he is today?
If it wasn't for those people's ridicule and discrimination that made Rong Guang feel the pain, would he be able to achieve what he is today?
Kaka made a decision in his heart. When he won the national championship, he would go to Paul and thank him in person.

※※※

Fantasizing about the scene after winning the championship, everyone had enough rest, and then got up and left the training ground.

Of course, the three of them left over the wall again.

When they left, Kaka looked back at the fence that he turned over and over again.I thought this might be the last time he climbed over the wall to enter the training ground...

Even though I know it's wrong.

But Kaka couldn't help laughing.

He remembered the first time he climbed over the wall clumsily, and then thought about how he swiftly turned over from behind just now...

Even this has improved, and people will not be ridiculed if they go over the wall in the future.

He was suddenly startled again - I have this kind of thought, does it mean that I have become bad?Lord, please forgive me...

He quickly lowered his head and confessed alone in his heart.

Glorious Lucas walked in front, talking about the finals.

Kaka lowered his head and muttered words in his mouth, like a child who has done something wrong, explaining to his parents why he did something wrong.

The figures of the three young men merged into the night, and merged with the training ground behind them and the forest outside the training ground, making it impossible to find them.

The people left, and the tranquility of the past was restored on the training ground.

It's as if there aren't three young guys over the wall every night here to train.
