Chapter 93 17th Birthday and Little Fairy

Three straight games of poor performance did not dampen glory.

But he did rush a bit because Kaka was so good, it was a stark contrast.

Although the whole team had a day off after the game, Rong Guang still went to the lakeside park to have a special training session.

Now all he can do is special training.

He took the walnuts and carried them on the boulevard in Lakeside Park.

Although the old god was taken away, Rong Guang still insisted on the set of rules the old god taught him—if he failed, he would go back to the starting point and start again.

Again and again, until it was dark at night, Rong Guang dragged his tired body back to Godot's house.

But when he opened the door, he found that the lights in the room were not turned on.

Just because the lights aren't on doesn't mean there's no light in the room.

The light came from the dining table, and the orange candlelight made the room feel warm.

The candles are stuck in a cream cake.

Rong Guang looked at this scene, a little dazed—what's going on?
At this moment, suddenly the house was brightly lit.Godot jumped out: "Happy birthday, Rong!"

Rong Guang turned his neck mechanically and looked at Godot.He found that Godot's chubby face was wearing a mask, the kind with a black eyeglass frame, a fake nose and a fake beard, which looked funny.

He took something out of his hand and put it in his mouth, and when he blew hard, colored bars would come out and he would make a funny sound.

"Happy birthday!" he repeated.

Only then did Rong Guang realize that he pointed at himself: "Me? Birthday?"

Godot smiled: "You are stupid, today is September 17st, your [-]th birthday?"

Rong Guang patted himself on the forehead: "Oh, I forgot!"

The last birthday glory was spent at his own home, and Godot was by his side at that time.

On his birthday, he added a poached egg to a bowl of noodles, which is already a great treat.A year is only available for birthdays.

And now in Brazil, the table is full of sumptuous meals, and there is a cream cake that has never been eaten before!

He himself had forgotten his birthday, but Godot still remembered it...

After a day of special training, Rong Guang was physically and mentally exhausted. Seeing this scene, his heart was suddenly hit.

He lowered his head and rubbed his nose to hide his expression.

"I... I'm going to take a shower first!"

After speaking, Rong Guang went to the bathroom.

"Go, change clothes and we'll eat again." Godot patted Rong Guang's shoulder from behind.

※※※

In the bathroom, let the warm hot water spray down from the shower, Rong Guang stood in the middle of the water, lowered his head, motionless, allowing the water to slide down from his head, flow down his body, flow down to his feet, gather together and flow to the floor drain.

From following Godot to Brazil, where he was unfamiliar, he was ready to endure hardships.

Without family members by my side, life and training here are boring.

At the age of 16, he also misses home and has weak moments.

But every time at this time, he would think of his family, grandparents and younger brother seeing him off at the entrance of the village.

The eyes of grandparents are more worried and uneasy, just like the eyes they see when they send their father and mother off to work after the Spring Festival every year.

The younger brother waved his arms excitedly and shouted at him: "Brother, you must make money!!" There was still some envy towards him in his eyes.It seems that to him, going to far away Brazil is just going to play.

I wish to come here with my family on my back, not for tourism.

So he will put himself into more desperate training.

Compared with a poor life and a hopeless future, three games without scoring is a bird?

When he followed Godot out of the mountain village, he looked back for the last time.

Under the blue-white sky, there is a yellow mountain ridge. There is a crooked neck tree on the top of the mountain ridge. In summer, the leaves are lush, and the elderly and children like to enjoy the cool and play under it.In winter, there are only bare tree branches left, stretching out to the sky, like countless hands of two people.

This is the "landmark" of Rongjiagou Village.

He saw three black dots under the tree, which were his grandparents and younger brother, who was still bouncing around and waving to him.

Go out from here, and you won't come back until you become famous!

Rong Guang swears in his heart.

I think of my elderly grandparents, my younger brother, my sister and my parents who are working hard in faraway Shanghai.

Rong Guang felt that he had a heavy responsibility.

I am not qualified to fail, the main position I have won must not be lost!
Under the washing of hot water, he clenched his fist tightly.

Happy 17th birthday, Glory.

Let them see how awesome you are!
※※※

On his 17th birthday, Rong Guang ate a cream cake for the first time in his life.

The cream is sweet, the cake is soft, and the fruit is delicious.

He and Godot were half of each other, and they ate all the cakes that were not too big.

"This is a high-calorie and high-fat thing, Rong." Godot said with a smile after eating.

Rong Guang shook his head: "Then let these become muscles!"

He really did what he said.

Before training the next day, Rong Guang came to the training base an hour and a half early for special training. He was also very serious and active during the training session. At the end of the training in the afternoon, he practiced for himself for an extra half an hour than usual.

His crazy energy made his teammates shudder.

While Rong Guang was still training himself in the locker room, all the discussions were about him.

"Is Rong Guang stimulated?"

"For sure, Kaka's performance is so good, he is also under a lot of pressure..."

"Hey, if you want to compete with Kaka, why do you push yourself so hard?"

"Practicing like this really makes people worry about his body..."

The discussion of the teammates did not deliberately avoid Kaka, so Kaka heard them all.

Is it because of the pressure you put on him?

The corners of Kaka's mouth hooked up—let you also taste the feeling of being chased like a dog!

He's glad his four consecutive games of scoring have come to fruition.

He wants to completely shake off the glory again!

If Kaka knew that Rong Guang trained so hard because he ate cream cake... He probably wouldn't be able to laugh.

※※※

Rong Guang would not take the initiative to read newspapers or listen to the news.But he can see some clues from the faces of other people, he is not stupid.

For example, the head coach Osvaldo's complexion has not been very good these days-Mingji Grayson's article has put him under a lot of pressure.

Grayson's articles have always been well-founded. If you agree with him, you will feel that what he said is really right and unassailable!

From Osvaldo's face, Rong Guang knew how bad the situation was.

His competitor Kaka has scored in four consecutive games, with four goals and one assist. This performance has made him the focus of the attention of Sao Paulo and even the whole of Brazil.

And what about yourself?

Going without a goal in three consecutive games...

The situation has reached the most critical moment.

If he doesn't come up with something, he doesn't know how long Osvaldo can support himself.

You can't count on other people's gifts, the main position is won by yourself.From the youth team to the first team, what I can rely on is always my own strength.

But how do you solve your current problems?

This kind of thing can't be solved by shouting a few slogans...

※※※

Every morning, Rong Guang will spare an hour and a half to go to Lakeside Park for his own special training.After the special training, he will return to Gordo's home, have breakfast, and then go to the Brafunda training base for a day of training.

At the Brafunda training base, before the official training starts, he will train alone on the training ground.During the lunch break, he will also train alone on the training ground.After the afternoon training, he will practice for himself for half an hour to an hour.

After training at the Brafunda training base, he went back to the lakeside park for an hour of special training before going home for dinner.

After dinner, he went to the rooftop to practice jumping, passing and catching the ball, and shooting.

Such a day of training is over, take a shower and sleep.

This is the training arrangement for Glory Day.

All the time is almost arranged, except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, all the time is spent training.

Many people feel that seeing Rong Guang's astonishing progress, they feel that he is really a genius, or a monster.

But among these people, I am afraid that not many people can see the hard work behind Glory.

When Rong Guang went to Lakeside Park for special training in the morning, he ran into someone here.

"Hey, I met you here." Sun Fengyang waved to Rongguang.

But Rong Guang's answer made him a little embarrassed.

"Uh... May I ask who are you?"

Sun Fengyang covered his face with his hands - this kid completely forgot about him!
"I'm the grandson of the old god!" He hastily introduced.

"Oh, grandson! It's you!" Rong Guang suddenly realized.

Sun Fengyang felt awkward no matter what he heard: "Don't call me that... You can call me by my name, or call me Brother Sun."

"Hey." Rong Guang also realized that there was something wrong with this address, he scratched his head and smiled, and then asked, "How is the old fairy, are you okay?"

"Well, I'm about to dominate the mental hospital." Speaking of his grandfather, Sun Fengyang felt a little helpless.

"I knew the old god must be capable!" Rong Guang seemed very happy after hearing this.

Sun Fengyang doesn't even know what's so happy about it...

"Are you here for morning exercises too?" Rong Guang asked Sun Fengyang after he was happy for the old god.

"No, actually I'm here for you." Sun Fengyang shook his head.

"For me?" Rong Guang was a little surprised.

"Have you been in some trouble recently?"

Rong Guang rolled his eyeballs, and then flatly denied: "No!"

"Okay, don't be brave in front of me." Why can't Sun Fengyang see Rong Guang's carelessness?
"Uh... well, yes." Rong Guang surrendered.

"I have a solution, do you want to listen?"

When Rong Guang heard this, he was overjoyed: "Little Immortal!"

"Call me Brother Sun!" Sun Fengyang couldn't take it anymore. "I'm not a god, we believe in science. In fact, I've watched all of your games. You really want to score goals, right?"

Rong Guang nodded quickly.

"Then do you know why you can't score?"

Rong Guang shook his head like a rattle.

"Because you are too far away from the goal. If you want to score a goal, you have to pass through the opponent's well-arranged defenses. During this process, you have a high chance of losing the ball. Repeated breakthrough failures have reduced the trust of your teammates in you, and you will rarely pass the ball to you. At the same time, your competitor Kaka scored four goals in four consecutive games. Why? Light eloquently analyzed.

When Rong Guang heard this, he couldn't help interjecting and asked, "What is it?"

"Long shot." Sun Fengyang glanced at Rong Guang anxiously, and then said.

"Long shot?" Rong Guang was stunned.

"Yes, it's a long-range shot. Among the four goals Kaka scored, two were long-range shots, and the other was a shot from a little inside the penalty area, which was also far from the goal. The long-range shot allowed him to directly threaten the opponent's goal without having to face too many defenses. But you didn't have a long-range shot." Sun Fengyang shook his head.

Rong Guang lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

This is indeed the case. The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders. He had never thought of looking for problems from the way he shot before.I always think that I can't score goals because my breakthrough ability is not good enough to pass the opponent's defenders.

It dawned on me now.He doesn't need to pass the opponent's defender, just a long shot is enough!
Long-range shots, he knows how to shoot. Compared with ordinary shots, the requirements for strength are higher, as long as the football is lowered as much as possible, the choice of angle is not so strict.For him who practiced shooting hard every day, technical movements are not a problem, the main thing is to practice hard.

But he rarely does this, he always wants to pass the opponent's defender and try to get close to the goal.Because he feels that the closer to the goal, the better the goal.This is a mindset, and even a rookie like him will fall into this mindset one day...

Why do I have to be closer to the goal?

As long as you can score a goal, no matter where it is, just send the football in!

He began to recall Kaka's performance in the game.

When he is attacking, he usually uses his speed and technique to sway a defensive player, but instead of continuing to break into the penalty area, he swayed the angle and then kicked the goal...

Yes, I can do the same!
When Rongguang is facing a defensive player one-on-one, the breakthrough success rate is still good.But once he continues to walk in, he will be surrounded by many defensive players of the opponent.Then drop the ball...

What if you shake the No.1 defender and shoot?

Rong Guang just thought about it, and felt that there was something to be said about it.

What should be done now is to practice, take out the long shot and practice repeatedly, practice the aim and force.

Repeat and repeat and repeat.

This glory is good at.

Thinking of this, Rong Guang felt that jogging in the lakeside park was a waste of time.He is going to practice long-range shooting!
So he quickly thanked Sun Fengyang: "Thank you, little god, for your guidance!"

After speaking, he turned around and ran back, as fast as a gust of wind.

"Call me Brother Sun!" When Sun Fengyang said this, Rong Guang had already disappeared...

Looking at the direction where the glory disappeared.

Sun Fengyang shook his head.

Kid who survived my grandfather's one-month special training, how far can you go?

※※※

Rong Guang rushed back to the apartment like a gust of wind, and then dragged out Godot who was making breakfast for him in the kitchen.

"What are you doing, Rong? In such a hurry?" Godot was dragged out of the room by Rong Guang while still wearing his apron.

"Go to the rooftop, Godot!" Rong Guang said while pulling him towards the elevator.

"Go to the rooftop? Why?"

"Practice long-range shooting with me!"
