Chapter 33 A Rising Star

Grayson deserves to be a name with enough influence.After his article came out, there were indeed many voices criticizing Osvaldo.

In the soil of art football and samba football, it doesn't matter if you play defensive counterattacks.

In this match between Sao Paulo and Guarani, Sao Paulo's tactics are even more crude and outrageous!

In fact, the Brazilians don't care much about tactics.

The constant 442 of the Brazilian national team all year round is a good indication of the tactical level of this country's football.

But what is unacceptable is that although Sao Paulo scored many goals in this game, it was ugly.

The way of playing is not samba at all, not artistic at all, and not Brazilian at all.

Brazilians like football, and what they like more is artistic football.The kind of control of the football at the foot, using wonderful personal dribbling and amazing skills to send the football into the opponent's goal, can win the cheers of the audience.

So players like Ronaldinho are popular in Brazil?

Because Ronaldinho was able to please Brazilian fans.

Robinho, the newly emerging young player of Santos, is also a representative of this. He has fancy feet and looks good.The media and fans praised him and called him "Pelé II".

Brazilians don't care much about whether football skills are practical or not. Of course they also like championships, and even like championships the most, but they prefer to win championships in a beautiful way.

Therefore, although Pereira led the Brazilian national team to win the World Cup in the 1994 World Cup in the United States, the evaluation of this national team in Brazil is not very high.

So even though they don't have a title, they are also favorites of Brazilian fans.

Of course, the favorite of Brazilian fans is the Brazilian national team in 1970, because that national team not only played pleasing to the eye, but also won the championship.It is in line with the Brazilian football aesthetics of "beautiful winning".

Grayson cleverly grasped the psychology of Brazilian fans and took this opportunity to lash out at Sao Paulo.

He did so successfully.

Many people are criticizing Osvaldo's tactics, so they don't take it seriously for Rongguang's goal.

This is obviously a deformed tactic specially designed by Osvaldo to allow Rong Guang to score.

This tactic cannot last long, nor does it represent the true level of glory.

So scoring in two consecutive games does not prove that Rong Guang is really a genius.

※※※

Godot suggested that Rong Guang practice his signature more, because it will be used soon.

The result really made him talk.

At the end of training the next day, someone came to his door asking for his autograph.

Rong Guang was a little surprised by the people who didn't come.

"Lucas? Why are you?" Rong Guang thought it was the fans who came to him to sign autographs, and was full of joy.

As a result, he grinned at the sight of a dark-haired Lucas Sutton.

Lucas Sutton didn't care about Rong Guang's disappointed expression. He handed over a stack of postcards from the Sao Paulo Club in his hand: "Quick, sign for me, Rong!"

Rong Guang was surprised: "What do you want so many signatures for?"

Lucas looked around, then lowered his voice, and said in a mysterious tone: "Sell it, Rong! My brother asked me for your autograph yesterday, and he said that there are many kids his age who want your autograph... But it's a pity to give it away, it's better to sell it to make money!"

When Rong Guang heard that he could make money, his eyes lit up.

But he didn't sign it right away, but took it and said to Lucas, "I'll give it to you tomorrow, Lucas."

Lucas did not object: "Okay, tomorrow is still this time, I will come here to wait for you."

※※※

After dinner, Godot thought that Rong Guang would go to the rooftop to practice. Now when Rong Guang practiced shooting, he must help practice.

But he found that Rong Guang didn't do this, but was rummaging through boxes and boxes.

"What are you looking for, Rong?" Holding a coffee cup, he was stirring the cube sugar in the black coffee with a small stainless steel spoon.

"Look for my previous signature." While speaking, Rong Guang finally found the stack of papers he used to practice signing, put them on the table, began to pick up a stack of white paper on the other side, and signed his name stroke by stroke.

Seeing his earnestness, Gordo shook his head with a smile, and went into the bedroom to call his daughter without disturbing him.

※※※

The next day Lucas Sutton was outside the first-team training ground by appointment.

He's come to get back those postcards.

But Rong Guang gave him a big backpack.

"What is this?" He looked at the backpack in Rong Guang's hand in surprise.

"Sign it."

Lucas reached out to take it, he was unprepared and almost dislocated his shoulder!

"How many autographs can be so important?! You are a liar!" He yelled and pulled away the zipper, and then his expression became petrified...

The entire big backpack is indeed full of signatures...

Stacks and stacks of white paper, all covered with Rong Guang's signature!
Lucas raised his head slowly, his neck seemed to be rusted, and then he looked at Rong Guang with dull eyes.

"Where are a few autographs? Many, okay?" Rong Guang's voice came from beside his ear.

Lucas's eyes finally recovered, and he covered his head: "You signed all night yesterday?"

Rong Guang nodded.

"I sold half of it, Lucas! You are a genius, why didn't I think of it before? Let me tell you, these autographs took me all night! If all of this is sold, I will give it away... six Brazilian barbecues a day..." Rong Guang wrung his fingers and began to plan excitedly how he would live when he had money.

Lucas Sutton stretched out his hand and scratched Rong Guang's head, shattering Rong Guang's fantasy bubble: "Wake up, wake up, you are really crazy about money!"

"How do you know, Lucas?" Rong Guang was surprised.

Facing such shameless glory, Lucas Sutton didn't know what expression to make: "But it's a pity that your efforts all night are in vain... You don't need so many! You throw out so many autographs, and if you give them away for nothing, no one will want them! Rare things are more expensive, do you know that! You are disrupting the order of the market economy!"

Rong Guang patted his head in annoyance, and then made a grimace at Lucas: "If you didn't tell me earlier, I've been busy all night."

"I didn't know you were so excited..." Lukas lowered his head and rummaged in his backpack, then pulled out the ten postcards he gave to Rongguang yesterday, and said to Rongguang, "These ten are enough. The usual selling price is [-] cents."

He didn't say what to do with the rest, but Rong Guang knew that these signatures might not escape the fate of being thrown into the trash can...

He looked at the backpack signature with great heartache.

I don't know if there is any waste collection in Brazil...

※※※

"Hey, Lucas, have all the autographs I gave you sold yesterday?" Rong Guang asked eagerly when he saw Lucas in the restaurant the next day.

Lucas spread his hands, with a bitter face: "Not at all, they said that if it is free, they will take it, and if they want money, they will not..."

Rong Guang was surprised and disappointed: "How could this happen?"

"Uh, I overestimated your status in their hearts, Rong... If you were Kaka, the situation would be different."

"Is Kaka's signature worth a lot?"

"Of course! There are crazy female fans who are willing to pay a high price for anything signed by Kaka! Star cards, postcards, posters, jerseys, footballs...even a piece of white paper, as long as it has Kaka's signature, it is valuable!"

When he heard that even Kaka's signature was worth more than his own, Rong Guang became even more determined to surpass Kaka and defeat Kaka.

One day, things with my signature will be worth more than Kaka's!

Lucas took out a stack of postcards and handed them to Rong Guang: "So I'm sorry, Rong, I made you happy for nothing...Give it back to you. I only gave one to my brother."

The postcard was placed with the back facing up, and Rong Guang saw his own signature on it at a glance.

Even though he was serious about writing well, the names he wrote, who only had an elementary school degree, were crooked and ugly.It's not as good-looking as reporter Coelho said...

This ugly signature was just like himself, inconspicuous and completely uninteresting.

Rong Guang pushed back these signed postcards: "No, you keep it, Lucas. Maybe it won't be long before they become valuable?"

Lucas thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay. I'll put it up for auction when your kid becomes popular! Then I won't be able to buy it for five reais! Huh!"

"Of course, five hundred dollars!" Rong Guang said angrily.

I will make you regret not buying it now!
You can't buy it for five dollars, you can't be fooled, and you can't be fooled by buying it for five dollars, but because of the five dollars, you missed the limited edition signature of the superstar Glory!

"Back at home, Sao Paulo is facing the tenth-ranked Portuguese team with the momentum of the recent two-game winning streak! Today is the same as the last game, the magical Chinese kid No. 33 Rong started again! Before the game started, when his name was introduced, there was a burst of cheers at the Morombi Stadium! It seems that this 16-year-old rookie boy has quickly become the favorite of Sao Paulo fans!"

Galvao Bueno was sitting on Moronbi's commentary seat, yelling into the microphone.

He had to do this, because on the field, Sao Paulo once again launched a quick counterattack, and Rongguang once again raced against football!

The Sao Paulo fans cheered loudly from the stands in Morumbi.

If he didn't yell like that, he worried that the audience in front of the TV would not be able to hear what he was saying.

"Listen to the shouting! This is St. Paul's counterattack! Rong is at it again! His speed is always so exciting!!"

The Morumbi Stadium, which can accommodate 8 people, is owned by the largest club in Brazil—most football clubs in Brazil rent stadiums from the municipal government. For example, Maracana, the home stadium of teams such as Flamengo and Vasco da Gama, belongs to the Rio Municipal Government.

The attendance rate of the Morombi Stadium was about 5% before, which is already remarkable for Brazilian football, which has been impacted by European football broadcasts.Many of the nearly [-] people came for Kaka.

As a star trained by the Sao Paulo youth academy, Kaka has the characteristics of both strength and idol.Capable, good-looking, and good-natured, without the messy scandals and scandals of many Brazilian players, he is naturally very popular with everyone.

Later, Kaka was injured, Sao Paulo's performance declined, and the number of people watching the game began to drop sharply.

If it weren't for the glory that turned out, this game might not even have 3 people come.

Now, with Kaka injured, many of these people are here to see the glory.

Rongguang's outstanding performance in these two games allowed him to temporarily replace Kaka in their hearts.

Rong Guang is, as Bueno puts it, "the amazing Chinese kid."

Everyone wanted to see what miracles he could perform.

For Corinthians and Guarani, Glory has given everyone a big surprise.

What about this time?

He is running on the field!
※※※

In this game, Cardinho returned from injury, and he replaced Baptista as the core of the organization. Although Baptista is still on the court, he has returned to being an engineer.

Ricardinho is Sao Paulo's midfield playmaker.

After he took the ball in the frontcourt, he gave a through pass, which directly penetrated the Portuguese defense.

Then Rongguang moved forward at high speed-this set of Sao Paulo has been playing these three games, everyone knows they will play this way, but it is really difficult to defend.

Because Rongguang's speed is too abnormal!

Seeing Rong Guang advance again, there was a huge cheer from the stands.

What everyone likes to watch most now is Rong Guang beating opponents with speed.

Rong Guang broke into the back of the Portuguese defense and received the ball!
When the Portuguese players realized that their defense had been penetrated, they all shouted in their hearts.

But at this time, even if they turned around and chased them back, it would be useless...

They can only watch Rong Guang stop the ball and then shoot!
The football rolled against the turf to the far end.

This time the Portuguese goalkeeper tried to keep the ball out of my way with his feet - faster than falling to the ground with his hands.

But the football shot by Rong Guang was faster than his feet!
Although Rong Guang strictly followed Rocha's requirements and didn't need to shoot with all his strength, he was fast and explosive, and his legs were very strong. The power of his shots was already great, so the football he shot went very fast!

"Sakae shoots—!"

Amidst Bueno's roar, the football rushed into the net!
"Beautiful! The third goal in three consecutive games!!" Bueno raised his arms and shouted. "You really deserve to be called 'The Amazing Chinese Kid'!"

Seeing the football roll into the goal, the cheers above the Morombi Stadium reached its peak!
Sao Paulo fans jumped from their seats, waving their arms, stomping their feet and chanting.

What are they coming to Morombi Stadium for?
Isn't it just to watch this exciting scene?
The most exciting and exciting of all sports on the planet has a lot to do with speed.

Both football and basketball have speed factors, and F1 and sprinting are all about speed...

Speed, can make people excited!

The speed can make people's blood rush!
The speed is dazzling!
※※※

"Rong once again opened the deadlock for Sao Paulo! We have scored in three consecutive games, with three goals and one assist. We can clearly see that a new star is rising!"

Ka Furui also spoke highly of Rong Guang.

If the performance of a game does not explain the problem, it can only be said to be luck.

What about two games, three games?

He scored goals in all three games and performed well. What is this but a promising new star?
Caffery, who is cautious, has never used such words to describe Rongguang before.

Now after observing Rongguang's three games, he believes that Rongguang is worthy of such praise.

Grayson snapped the lid off the laptop on the table.

Rong Guang's goal made him angry.

What did this Chinese boy do?

Are you against me specifically?
Lao Tzu said you are not a genius, so you fucking only play one game?

Did you do it on purpose? !
He realized that he might have to raise his hands in surrender, because no matter how professional you say it is, whether it is the media or the fans, it doesn't matter how professional you are. People care more about the result.

If Rongguang can score in three consecutive games, no matter how many loopholes you find in tactics to criticize, it will not be able to influence the media and fans to pay close attention to him and praise him.

I'm afraid Kaka wasn't such a dick when he made his debut!
But Grayson is not reconciled, just not reconciled!
※※※

Gordo stood up from his seat. He didn't cheer loudly, but just clapped.

As he applauded, he began to think that perhaps it was time to renegotiate the contract with Sao Paulo.

Even though Rong Guang has scored three goals in the first team, he still signed the lowest-level youth contract—not that the youth contract is low-level, but the lowest-level youth contract.

Salary is minimal and bonuses are almost non-existent.

It doesn't even count as a professional contract.

Now... the situation is different. Not only must it be changed to a professional contract, but the salary must be greatly increased. In addition, various bonus forms including goal bonuses and assist bonuses must be written into the contract.

This is what a broker should do!

Seeing Rong Guang running wildly on the field to celebrate the goal, he thought complacently.

After being a nanny, driver, and enlightenment coach, he is finally going to return to his true identity.

※※※

The glory of scoring the goal remembered what Fabiano told him, and he could do whatever he wanted to celebrate the goal.

He wants to run now.

So he turned and ran!
When Fabiano saw the glorious goal, he ran towards him, intending to hug him and celebrate.Who would have thought that just running to the front, stretching out his hand, but only catching a gust of wind...

When he finished his astonishment, he found that Rong Guang had already run away...

The other teammates in the backcourt wanted to hug him and celebrate, but the result was the same, allowing Rong Guang to easily get rid of it with speed...

So there was such a funny scene on the court - after scoring a goal, Rong Guang ran all the way, throwing away teammates one after another. He didn't seem to be celebrating, but more like running!
Later, everyone thought that Rong Guang was going to the coaching bench, and everyone rushed out, and the head coach Osvaldo also stood up and stood at the front of the crowd, ready to hug Rong Guang...

But when he was ready, Rong Guang passed the coach's bench and ran back to the backcourt...

The substitute players on the bench who were planning to celebrate the goal with Rong Guang were a little puzzled, and they all spread their hands with surprise on their faces.Don't understand what's going on here...

Assistant coach Mauro lowered his head and laughed.

Osvaldo was very embarrassed...

The commentator Bueno laughed: "What a rookie, I can't even run to celebrate! You run so fast, how can your teammates chase you?"

The good-natured laughter of Sao Paulo fans also sounded in the stands.

Rong Guang turned a blind eye to the laughter, and he almost ran around the field before returning to the field... During the whole process, the Portuguese players stood on the field, dumbstruck—I have never seen such a celebration of a goal!Is this showing off how fast he runs?
In the end Luis Fabiano finally caught the glory.

"You better not run away!"

"It feels so good to score, Luis!" Rong Guang said to Fabiano with a smile after running around, not feeling tired at all.

Fabiano rubbed Rong Guang's head.

"Don't steal my limelight, rookie."

That's what he said, but Fabiano, who is usually unsmiling, had a smile on his face.
