"Hey, brother!" Ronaldo stepped forward enthusiastically and hugged him.
"Ronnie! It's been a long time." This man is obviously Ronaldinho, one of Brazil's winning champions in 2002, a football elf born in the football kingdom.
Ronaldinho's real name is also Ronaldo, Ronaldo Assis de Moreira. The name Ronaldo is very common in Brazil, but because there is a more famous Ronaldo, everyone calls him Ronaldo Jr., and Ronaldo Jr. is pronounced Ronaldinho.
In fact, the name printed on the shirt worn by Ronaldo at the 1996 Olympics was Ronaldinho, because at that time a Ronaldo older than him occupied the name "Ronaldo".
But as Ronaldo's fame grew, he became the only Ronaldo recognized.
"This is your brother," Ronaldinho smiled kindly at Ricardo. "What should I call you? Ricardo? Or Ricci?"
Ricci is a nickname for Ricardo.
"Call me Ricardo. I'm glad to meet you, Ronaldinho. I like watching you play very much." Ricardo extended his hand with a smile.
Ronaldinho did not formally shake hands with Ricardo, but gave a high-five. "I have watched some of your video games, and they did play well, with the style of your brother and boy."
Ronaldo laughed: "He's much better than when I was 16! I haven't played the main force of Cruzeiro's first team when I was 16."
"You two Ronaldo are the best stars on this planet, and I am satisfied that I can reach half of you," Ricardo said modestly.
一半 "Half? That's not enough, I still expect you to be our good helper in the World Cup 4 years later." Ronaldo laughed.
The three of them walked to the dining table jokingly, and someone greeted them from time to time. Ronaldo responded enthusiastically and introduced them to Ricardo.
There are several of them, Ricardo actually knows, such as Dida, Giulio Cesar, Cafu, Robert Carlos, Juninho Jr., Rivaldo, Emerson, Adriano, etc. In the last life, he had a brief exchange with those who retired.
However, at this time, he still pretended to meet for the first time, and his inner feelings were very complicated.
During the meal, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo whispered.
"What do you think of Barcelona?"
Ronaldo frowned. "That's a great club. But you know, I didn't have a great time there."
"You got the first World Footballer there, and it was Barcelona that made the whole world know you." Ronaldinho said.
"Yes, but some people in the club ... are not really easy to get along with," Ronaldo asked, "Did they contact you?"
Ronaldinho nodded: "They contacted my agent and said they were sincere about taking me to Camp Nou. They paid a good salary and I wanted to play in a bigger club. "
Ricardo's impression is that Ronaldinho will transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to Barcelona this summer. In Barcelona, his football talent was fully demonstrated, and he got higher and higher, and won two World Footballer's Awards in 2004 and 2005, and won the Golden Globe Award in 2005.
However, with the rise of Messi and the decline in status caused by his lingering nightclubs, Ronaldinho gradually lost his position and later moved to the already fallen AC Milan.
I didn't wait for Ronaldo to speak, Ricardo interjected: "You went to Barcelona is the right choice. There you will become one of the best stars on the planet."
"He is already one of the best stars in the world," Ronaldo said with a smile. "Listen, brother, listen to your agent more."
"Of course my agent advised me to go. I don't transfer the extra income he came from," Ronaldinho's tusks completely exposed, "I just want to hear your opinion, you know I have great respect for you, Ronnie. "
Ronaldo thought about it and said, "My opinion is that you should go. When a club like Barcelona calls you, all you have to do is promise."
"I know, I will consider it carefully," Ronaldinho looked at Ricardo again. "How about you, Ricardo, where do you want to play in two years?"
"Of course Inter Milan, with my brother." Ricardo answered without hesitation.
"Yes, Inter Milan is also a giant, but Serie A's defense is very fierce, you have to be prepared. Your little arms and calves, you need to exercise a bit more. Serie A teams also invited me, but I They refused, I know, I don't fit in the style of Serie A. "Ronaldinho laughed.
"I think I can adapt."
"I'm very confident!" Ronaldinho's eyes lighted up, as if he had met Ricardo again.
After lunch, Ricardo and Ronaldo returned to the room, ready to take a break, and raise their spirits to participate in the afternoon training.
They were still chatting about the fun things in the past and tired, and Ricardo's eyelids were fighting. At this time, the "Tuk Tuk Tuk" knocked on the door suddenly.
Ronaldo jumped out of bed, opened the door, and said with a little surprise, "Sir?"
Ricardo immediately guessed who was coming, jumped out of bed, and saw an old man with gray hair and a serious face come in. It is Brazil's merit coach, Pereira.
He nodded slightly at Ricardo before he suddenly smiled kindly and looked at Ronaldo: "I have a chance to coach you again."
"I'm glad I have the honor to accept your guidance." Ronaldo maintained respect invited him to sit down at the table.
For Ronaldo, Pereira has a sense of gratitude. He brought Ronaldo, who was only 17 years old, to the World Cup in the United States, so that the latter won the first Hercules Cup in his life at the age of 17.
It was his conservativeness that kept 17-year-old Ronaldo from playing in the 1994 World Cup, even for a minute.
Although he led the team to the World Cup, Pereira is still not trusted by the Brazilians because of his conservative and stubborn style. However, in recent years, his coaching performance has been very good, and his competitors have no intention of making a career. The coach of the Brazilian national team.
After I sat down, Pereira finally looked at Ricardo. "Do you know why I called you into the team?"
So straight?
卡 Ricardo is not ready, I don't know how to answer.
But Pereira himself continued: "You have impressed me in São Paulo's game against Corinthians. I have been paying attention to you since then. Perhaps you have not yet reached the selection of the national team. Level, but I'm willing to give young people like you some opportunities. "
何 "What's more," Pereira smiled at Ronaldo with a smile. "Ronaldo called me so many times. If I don't agree with it, it won't be human."
Ronaldo smiled, touching his bald head.
It turned out that I was able to be selected this time, thanks to Ronaldo? Ricardo has mixed feelings. On the one hand, I was a little frustrated, and I was a little grateful to Ronaldo. No wonder he was able to beat Robinho and Elber, who also performed well.
No matter what reason you are selected for, you must show a good performance and strive to stay. Ricardo secretly swears.
