Chapter 156 The Meaning of a Champion

After Rong Guang finished his training, he asked Godot to drive him to Fabiano's home.

Fabiano's home is in an upscale residential complex in Brazil.

Of course, it was still far from the "mansions" of the rich who took helicopters to and from get off work, but it was much better than where Rong Guang lived now.

There are guards patrolling at the entrance of the community. Those guards are all armed with guns, and all of them have unfriendly expressions. They look at people like they are looking at suspects.

It seems that if there is a disagreement, they will draw their guns and shoot.

Seeing their car approaching, they raised their hands to signal to pull over and stop for inspection.

"Tsk, the rich area is so troublesome..." While talking, Godot pulled over obediently, turned off the car and opened the door.At the same time, he motioned for Rong Guang to get out of the car as well.

Originally, Gordo thought he would face a very strict inspection, because he used to do this when he came to the rich area.

But when the glory came down, the situation changed.

The guard who walked in was stunned for a moment when he saw Rong Guang, and then suddenly became enthusiastic. He turned around and waved to his companions: "Hey, guys! Look who this is?! Rong!"

When Rong Guang heard that his name was called out by the guard in front of him, he was very surprised.

But what was even more surprising was still behind. When the other guards heard his name, they rushed over as if they had been cast by magic, and surrounded Rong Guang.

"What an honor! That's right!"

"Although Chinese people are all the same in my eyes, I still remember it very clearly!"

Then a guard took out a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to Rong Guang: "Sign it for me, Rong!"

Another guard deftly took out his camera and pointed it at Rong Guang.

Rong Guang was intimidated by this formation.

"Uh, this is..."

"We are your fans! I watched the game last night. You and Kaka performed really well! If it weren't for you, Sao Paulo would not have won the championship!"

The guard who asked for Rong Guang's signature said excitedly.

※※※

When Gordo drove the car and Rong Guang through the independent villas, he was still laughing.

"I didn't expect, Rong, that your fame is also beneficial in this respect."

Because of glory, Gordo and the others not only did not accept the inspection, but were also allowed to drive into the community—otherwise they should abandon the car here and walk into the huge community...

Rong Guang is happy.

This isn't the first time he's been mobbed for autographs and photos.

But this is the first time he has enjoyed the benefits that fame brings him--to be famous, you can enjoy some privileges.

He finally understood why so many people wanted to be famous.In addition to money, I am afraid there are also considerations in this regard.

He turned his head to look at the environment in the community.

It's really hard to imagine that this is a residential area.

From Rong Guang's point of view, this might be a small town.

But this small town is separated from the outside world by a high-voltage barbed wire fence—just looking at the gate, Rong Guang would think it was a prison.

But when he came in, he was only amazed.

The streets are clean and tidy, and wide, the kind of road where four cars can drive side by side.It's not the narrow roads in the neighborhood that Rong Guang imagined.

Every piece of vegetation on the roadside seems to have been carefully trimmed and cared for, vibrant and colorful.

The most eye-catching thing is the villas with different shapes, but all are spacious and bright.Rongguang has never seen a one-story building, and the shortest is a two-story building.

Every household has two yards, a front yard and a back yard.The houses are not in love with each other, but are separated by distances ranging from tens of meters to tens of meters.

It is completely different from the houses in the block where Godot's apartment is located. In the block where Godot's apartment is located, all the buildings are close together, densely packed like pigeon coops.But even so, it is considered a good house in Sao Paulo.

What does a poor house look like?
Slums without water, electricity, sewers, or house numbers.

There were people standing on the balcony in those villas, looking at this dilapidated car with strange eyes. It seemed that no one had ever seen such a crappy car in the community—people who looked at this crappy car couldn't afford to buy a house here.

Rongguang also saw a medium-sized commercial center along the road, as well as schools and churches, a police station, a fire station, two different banks, and a park...

This is completely an independent town!
Rong Guang opened his eyes.

A community can still be built like this...

What he didn't know was that in Sao Paulo, many such high-end residential communities were like this, with all kinds of supporting facilities.

Because the gap between the rich and the poor in Sao Paulo is very large, the Gini index of this place is frighteningly high.So there are a lot of crimes against the rich.Rich people have to do this for their own safety.In addition to flying to and from get off work, they rarely go shopping in those public commercial centers in the urban area, because it is too unsafe and they may be kidnapped at any time.

Therefore, the design concept of the rich area means that a wealthy family can enjoy all the supporting facilities and services in the community.

It is no exaggeration to say that a wealthy family can live in this community, from birth to death, without leaving the gate of the community all their lives.Because there is everything in the community.What Rong Guang saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

There are specialized hospitals for medical care and education, ranging from kindergartens to private high schools. Both the teaching conditions and the quality of education must surpass those public schools outside.For sports and fitness, there are stadiums, football fields and golf courses.For shopping, there are supermarkets, shopping malls...

"Here...that's an exaggeration..." Rong Guang looked at the street scene outside and said dumbfounded.

Godot smiled: "When you become a big star, Rong. You can also buy a house here. But it's not necessary."

"Why?" Rong Guang was very surprised.

"Because our goal is not Europe? If you want to buy a house, go to Europe. The law and order there is much better than here. To be honest, although I really want to be rich, I don't want to live this kind of life locked up." Godot shook his head.

Gordo also had dreams about making money.

When he has earned enough money, he will definitely take his daughter and leave here, even though this is his hometown.

But here, he feels insecure.He still can't forget how his wife left him.

His daughter inherited his wife's appearance, which made him very nervous. He cared about his daughter very much, and he didn't want his daughter to suffer any accidents.But in Brazil... he was always restless.

For his daughter, he also has to work hard to make money, and then the whole family will go to settle in Europe.He can develop his vision in Brazil, but his home is in Europe.His daughter can also live a safe, stable and prosperous life in Europe.

To realize this wish, it is natural to count on Rongguang's outstanding performance.

Rong Guang nodded: "You are right, Godot. I don't like this kind of life either."

※※※

Neither Rong Guang nor Gordo had been to Fabiano's house, but that didn't mean they didn't know what to do.

When the guards knew that Rong Guang was looking for Fabiano, they enthusiastically showed them the way.

So they found Fabiano's home so easily.

Parking the car on the roadside of Fabiano's house, Rong Guang noticed that there was also a luxurious car parked there. Although Rong Guang didn't recognize the brand, it seemed to be more high-end and more luxurious than Gordo's car.

But it wasn't Fabiano's car.

It seems that besides himself, there are other people who came to find Fabiano.

At the door, Fabiano warmly welcomed Rong Guang and his manager Godot.

Because he had called before coming, Fabiano was not surprised by their arrival.

"What a coincidence, did you discuss it?" Fabiano said while leading the two of them to the yard behind the house.

"Us? With whom?" Rong Guang thought of the luxury car he was looking at at the door.

"Who else?" While speaking, Fabiano walked out of the house with glory and came to the backyard.

Under the bright sunshine, Rong Guang saw a familiar figure sitting on a chair basking in the sun in the yard surrounded by greenery.

The sun shone on his body, as if it had coated him with a layer of light.

He froze for a moment.

"Kaka."

Fabiano smiled and said to Kaka: "As expected of a partner who has a tacit understanding on the court, Kaka, did you two really make an appointment in advance?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the glory beside him.

Kaka turned around, saw Rong Guang, and was also stunned.

※※※

"Why are you here?" Sitting on a chair in the yard, Rong Guang stared at Kaka sitting next to him, and said in a very unfriendly tone.

"Why can't I be here?" Kaka replied lightly.

Fabiano watched them both with interest.

"Look at what?" Rong Guang turned to stare at him.

"I think... During my absence, something interesting must have happened to you." Fabiano said with a smile.

His words made Rong Guang and Kaka a little embarrassed.

So Rong Guang quickly changed the subject: "I said, I want to bring the champion to see you, Louis."

After speaking, he took out the championship gold medal from his trouser pocket and placed it on the table.

Kaka glanced at the gold medal, then moved his eyes back and forth between Rong Guang and Fabiano, and finally settled on Fabiano's face.

It seems to be asking: Do you two still have such a strange agreement?
Fabiano noticed Kaka's eyes, and he explained with a smile: "When I was in the hospital just now, after playing the Santos game, Rong came to the hospital to see me. Then he asked me if I could make it to the final. I said no, and he said he wanted to see me with the championship."

After speaking, he picked up the gold medal on the table.

On one side of the gold medal is a person playing a soccer ball with a national map of Brazil in the background.The other side is the appearance of the Brazilian National Championship trophy, with a circle of text around it.

"2002 Brazilian National Football Championship Champion Sao Paulo Football Club"

"It's so beautiful..." Fabiano picked up the gold medal and looked at it in the sunlight.

The medals shone golden and charming under the sunlight.

Both Rong Guang and Kaka didn't speak, they just looked at Fabiano quietly.

Gold is beautiful in its own right, but for the pros, it's not the gold that's beautiful, it's not these blings.

If the champion's medal is made of stainless steel, it will also be very attractive.

Because what is fascinating is not the material, shape, or pattern engraved on it, but the meaning contained in this small medal—championship.

And in order to win this championship, a great price has to be paid, and those prices make the gold medal look heavy.

There is not only glory condensed on this, but also sweat and tears, joy and frustration, glory and vanity, and fearless sacrifice.For this small medal, everyone has devoted everything and put in all their efforts, but they may not be able to kiss Fangze.

That's what it means to be a champion.

The medal is small, but it means a lot.

Fabiano flipped the gold medal under the sun, and the gold medal shimmered.

It reflected Kaka and Glory who scored goals for the team, and also reflected Fabiano who helped the team reach the knockout round, but was injured and left in the first game.
