Chapter 161 Godot's Mood

No matter how much Rong Guang hopes to participate in the Copa Libertadores, he has to wait.

Because this season's Copa Libertadores group stage only started in early February.

After the start of the new season, he still has to play the Sao Paulo State Championship first.

The format used in the Sao Paulo State Championship this season is that 21 teams are divided into three groups of seven teams, and then a single round robin.

The first and second groups have three teams that can qualify for the playoffs, and the third group has only two teams.

Sao Paulo was assigned to the second group. The strength of this group is not very strong, basically they can't threaten them...as long as they don't make mistakes by themselves.

On January [-], the first game, Sao Paulo played against Ituano, the champion of the Sao Paulo Championship last year.

Ituano is definitely not a strong team.

The reason why they were able to win the championship last season was entirely because many giants went to the Rio-São Paulo Championship, and they did not encounter any strong opponents in the state.

So Ituano won the first state league championship trophy in the history of their team.

In fact, none of Sao Paulo's giants took Ituano's championship seriously.

The game also proved this point.

It's really not that the rich and powerful look down on the grassroots, but that the grassroots really don't have much strength to show.

At home, Sao Paulo beat Ituano 4:1.

Glory, Kaka and Lucas Sutton made their first state league starts.

Trident showed great power in the game.

Kaka continued his form last season, scoring a goal and an assist, while Rongguang also had an assist, and he assisted Lucas to score a goal.

"There is no suspense. Sao Paulo used a big victory at home to tell the opponents in the state league that the giants are back!"

"Ituano immediately revealed his true colors when he faced a real championship team..."

After the game, the media commented on the game like this.

This is a very symbolic game, because Sao Paulo's opponent is the defending champion Ituano.

He defeated Ituano cleanly and told everyone who is the real boss of Sao Paulo.

In the first round of the Sao Paulo State League, except for Corinthians, the other giants have won.

Corinthians lost 1:2 at home to Moggy Mirin.

After a year of failure last year, Carlos Pereira resigned from Corinthians to take over from Scolari as the head coach of the Brazilian national team. In the next three years, he will lead the Brazilian national team to prepare for the World Cup in Germany.

This is the second time the coach has led Brazil to the World Cup.

For him, from the head coach of the club to the head coach of the national team, it is naturally a high promotion, because in Brazil, everyone dreams of becoming the head coach of the national team.

But for Pereira's "second entry into the palace", the tone of the media is not very good.Some media simply said that Pereira fled Sao Paulo as a loser and took refuge in the Brazilian national team.

Why do you say that?

Because Pereira led Corinthians for a year without winning a championship.If you just didn't win the championship, it's easy.However, he led the team to the finals twice in a row, but both lost to the same opponent.

It's hard to say that this is a coincidence...

"...We always say that one cannot stumble over the same stone twice, but Carlos Pereira did it perfectly!"

This is the evaluation of a media after Corinthians lost the national championship.

So in the eyes of many people, Pereira's departure is a kind of escape, an escape.This is definitely not some kind of exaltation, refuge.Some media also lost their lines to Pereira's photo. On the left is Pereira's image at the press conference of his inauguration as the Brazilian national team, and on the right is Sao Paulo's Trident.

The line assigned by the media to the media is: "Can't afford to provoke, can't I still hide?"

In this way, Pereira fled to the Brazilian national team "desperately".

Then left a mess for his successor.

In Osvaldo's plan, the focus of this first half must be on the Copa Libertadores.But he also doesn't want to give up the state league outright.

So he intends to focus on the state league before the Copa Libertadores starts, and try to get as many leads as possible, so that when the Copa Libertadores starts, he won't have to fight on two fronts and be stretched.

The second round was three days later, and Sao Paulo beat Santista 4:3 away.

In this game, Lucas scored twice in this game, but neither Kaka nor Rongguang scored.

In the third round, Sao Paulo defeated Limera International 2:0 at home.

In the fourth round, Sao Paulo defeated Paulista 2:1 at home.

So far, the games in January are all over, and Sao Paulo has won four consecutive victories, which has initially established their advantage in the second group, because they are the only team with four consecutive victories.

What they are pursuing now is not qualifying from the group, but appearing as the number one in the group.

In these four games, Rongguang scored two goals and two assists, and his performance was remarkable.

In addition to his outstanding performance in the game, there was also good news off the field.

Gordo helped him sign a commercial endorsement contract.

This is the first commercial endorsement contract in his life!

Looking at Rong Guang who was very happy when he heard the news, Godot repeatedly emphasized: "It's just a very small endorsement contract, you don't need to be too excited, otherwise what will you do in the future?"

Seeing Rong Guang so excited, he looked very ashamed.Because the value of this contract is not equal to the excitement shown by Rongguang - he did not lie to Rongguang, it is really a small endorsement contract.

Advertisement for a Chinese restaurant in Sao Paulo.

Take a group of photos, it's that simple.

In the future, this Chinese restaurant can use Rong Guang's photos, but only for three years.

In addition, they also gave Rongguang a discount, that is, within three years, Rongguang can eat in restaurants for free.

"...but it doesn't make sense. This restaurant is far away from where we live, and it costs more to drive to eat. And as a professional player, you'd better eat less Chinese food."

When Rongguang heard that he could eat for free, his eyes lit up, and Godot quickly poured cold water on him.

Just kidding, how can a professional player eat that kind of high-fat food for a long time?

So no matter how much Rong Guang wanted to eat it, he couldn't.

Although Rong Guang likes to eat, he also knows that if he opens up to eat, this professional player probably won't be able to do it.

Compared with eating a few good meals and making a lot of money, he still chooses the latter.

With money, what delicious food can't be eaten?
And if you give up the opportunity to make money in order to eat delicious food, then the loss outweighs the gain.

Rong Guang is not a fool.

As Gordo said, it's a small endorsement deal.

Just take a group of photos in their restaurant. If it didn't take one day because Rong Guang didn't have modeling experience, it should be done in half a day.

There were no swarms of journalists, flashing lights, or fans screaming outside.

Apart from the working photographer and some necessary staff, the only spectator on the scene was Godot.

He watched Rong Guang standing in the shooting area after putting on makeup, holding a plate to make various poses cooperatively, and sighed in his heart.

With Rong Guang's popularity, I can only sign such an endorsement contract... I am really incompetent.

Maybe he left me is the right choice?

Only in this way can he have greater development.

He has always wanted to go to Brazil.

But what is the way for me to go to Brazil?

I once dreamed that Juan Figel would take away the glory, but if it was for the sake of glory, he should follow Figel instead.

At least Figel has many ways to go to Brazil, and he has maintained good cooperative relations with some clubs in Portugal.

※※※

It took a day, and Rongguang's first advertising endorsement job was finally over.The owner of the Chinese restaurant is very enthusiastic about staying with Rongguang and Godot to eat "authentic" Chinese food.

Rong Guang was very excited when he heard that he could eat authentic Chinese food.

But his excited expression only lasted for a second before disappearing.

He obviously thought of Godot pouring cold water on him.

Godot looked soft-hearted, and said, "It's okay to eat once in a while, Rong..."

But Rong Guang shook his head and refused: "No, forget it, Godot. I want to work hard to go to Europe, but I can't relax my requirements."

Gordo opened his mouth, but finally did not speak.

In this way, Rong Guang and Godot declined the kindness of the Chinese restaurant owner and drove away.

On the way back, Godot thought of Rongguang's last expression of wanting to eat but resisting his refusal. He did this because he wanted to go to Europe as soon as possible.

But I have no way to go to Europe...

Rongguang has worked so hard and desperately, and will definitely get better and better in the future.

And I... Can I catch up with him?

When Rong Guang becomes the world's top player, can he become the world's top agent?
He suddenly had no confidence in himself.

For so many years, I have not been considered a successful professional agent.I have no vision, no ability... so I have been in a state of despair.

So why do I think that after having Rong, I can become very powerful?
What does Rong's greatness have to do with him?
Rong's strength has something to do with his own efforts, his persistence, and his character, but it has nothing to do with himself.

Just like what Mu Yu said, picking him up for training and taking care of his daily life, any agent can do such a thing, it's nothing special.

He just took advantage because he was the first to contact Rong Guang and bring him to Brazil.

Rong Guang doesn't know much now, he's relatively simple.But he can't be this simple all the time, can he?

As his experience grows and his age increases, he will clearly understand that his agent is far inferior to those other agents.

Will he leave himself by then?
Even if he rejects Mu Yu's poaching now, what if he faces the solicitation of a more powerful agent in the future?Facing the temptation of huge economic benefits?

What can I come up with to save the glory?

Godot couldn't think of any reason for Rong Guang to stay by his side under such circumstances.

Perhaps, after Rong Guang left Brazil and went to Europe, it was time to break up with him.

After all, I can't step out of Brazil and take my daughter to Europe to develop.

Because I don't have that ability.

"This is the first time I've been a commercial model, and I suddenly feel like I'm a big star, Godot!"

Rong Guang didn't have the troubles that Godot had at all. On the way back, he sat in the passenger seat and said excitedly.

Hearing his excited tone, the emotion in Godot's heart became more obvious, and he was churning in his heart.

Finally, he couldn't help asking: "Rong, have you considered... changing your manager?"

Rong Guang froze for a moment, stopped his chattering, and turned to look at Godot who was driving: "What's wrong with you, Godot?"

Godot naturally couldn't express all the worries in his heart, so he forced a smile: "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of it, if you want to go to Europe... I don't have any connections here, I don't know the head coaches and managers of European teams, so I can't put you in..."

Rong Guang looked at Godot with puzzled eyes: "Are you all right, Godot?"

"Of course I'm fine, I'll talk to you about something more serious..." Godot was obviously very serious, but Rong Guang looked at him like a patient, and he was also a little annoyed.

"Honestly, I have no connections, and I don't have access to Europe. In Brazil, 90.00% of the players' access to Europe is in the hands of Juan Figel, who is a big agent. He..."

Rong Guang interrupted him: "I want to win the Copa Libertadores, Godot. Didn't you say that is the top competition in South America?"

Gordo nodded.

"Wait until I win the Copa Libertadores. Do you still need to go to Europe to sell me?"

Rong Guang turned his head and asked back.

Hearing what Rong Guang said, Godot couldn't help turning his head to look at him.

In the dark environment inside the car, Rong Guang's eyes shone slightly.

It seemed to reflect his self-confidence.
