Head

Chapter 9
There is always a small open space on the streets of Rio de Janeiro. Both adults and children can play street football here. Foreign tourists also like to take pictures here. This is the street football culture in Brazil.

Nain was originally sitting on the side of the road, but it was a pity that there were too many people on the opposite side, he couldn't see, and Asuna didn't come back after waiting for a long time, so he thought that maybe Asuna had more things to do!He probably wouldn't come back so early, so he slowly moved to the opposite side, and then stood in a group of people watching them play football.

Just as he was watching with relish, the guy next to him suddenly shouted: "It's Adriano's signature jersey, it's true, my cousin also has such a jersey, he is the main force of the Flamengo youth team .”

"Yes, yes, I have seen similar ones, and it is true."

Then a group of people stopped watching the game and came to watch the people, not the jerseys.

"Hey, let's play. Bet on your jersey, if you lose it's ours, if you win you're the boss here, and, no, the football is yours too, that's Ronaldo's signature Football." It's like street basketball.But obviously this group of people is very confident, Ronaldo's signature football should be more valuable than Adriano's signature jersey!
"But I only have one person." Nain was a little moved. He really didn't have a single item signed by Ronaldo. On the contrary, Adriano had two sets of jerseys, but one was signed on his own ball. It was a long time ago, and the one on my body is new, but it would be nice if I could exchange for that football.

But after watching for so long, he also knew that the person in front of him was the most powerful here, and the people he was with were also very strong, so it was difficult to deal with, of course, the premise was [-]v[-].It's just that he didn't think about leaving. If someone in Brazil challenges you to football, even if it really doesn't work, you won't give up.

"Except for a few people from our side, you can choose all the people who just left the stage, and you can start when you gather enough five people."

"Okay then!" It's all said that Nain will not be stage fright, and besides, he was a little bit aggrieved today, so he went to Pereira happily, but it turned into a simple test, and then he was accepted by Asu Na abandoned here, this time just took the opportunity to vent.

In the distance came an uncle with sunglasses, holding a Sony HDDV in his hand, wantonly shooting beautiful women on the road.

And the Arab beauty at Nain's house just put down her phone and started her second round of venting.

Nain reluctantly chose four players, none of them are the best in their respective teams, but they all have their own characteristics, and those who are good have their own pride, so they won’t help others to compete easily. Don't worry about others complaining.

A tall man, to say that he is tall is only relative, in fact, he is only 1.8 meters five, and he is only a little taller than Nain himself. Although this man is tall and big, he is good at turning around and responding, but This guy has a good defense. He played a few times before his team and he blocked the holes of the guns, and he really took a lot of shots.

A guy with long hair, the guy is good with the ball, just a bit lonely, but Nain believes that if he can get the ball to his feet, he should be able to form a shot.It doesn't have to be completed, but it must be a deterrent to the opponent and not allow too many of them to participate in the attack.

A short man, actually not too short, at least 1.6 meters in appearance, this man is fast and accurate in shooting. Nain found that as long as he can pass the ball in front of him, he can grab it, and he watched it in Nain In nearly two hours, this kid scored five or six goals, and his performance was very stable.

The last one, who may not be Brazilian, has brown and yellowish hair, probably not far away even if there is no difference of 1.8 meters.Nain saw that he played a game with a balance between defense and offense. At least Nain didn’t see that he was stronger, but he felt that he was very powerful, and he was also a newcomer. Teams of people with different strengths.

The overall strength of a group of five people seems to be stronger than the other party. After all, not all of them are in the same team, especially in a team like this kind of amateur fun. Naturally, their tacit understanding is incomparable to Nain and the others.

"Choose it, right? You play for two balls. Since it's a game, let's use three balls. Whoever scores three goals wins." The man who looked like the owner of the field came out and said, it seemed that At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he seems to be a very popular person in this area.

Although everyone says that the height requirements for playing football are not very high, but in terms of current development, it is still difficult for Carlos' height to gain a foothold in a high-level league, and with the improvement of living standards, basically people They can all reach more than 1.5 meters, which can be seen from the people around them. Basically, in Nain's eyes, they can play well.

"All right!"

"Then you tee off first?" It's not polite or polite, it's just a habit. In previous games, the challenger teed off, which is a kind of pride and respect.

Nain would not be polite in this regard, kicking the ball to the shorter one for him to kick off.

"let's start!"

The football was allocated by the short guy to the long-haired guy. This kid was not too lonely, but he honestly handed the ball to Nain, and the game officially started.

The venue is not very big, about 30M*20M, not smaller than a basketball court.

The opponent's team members quickly approached Nain and the others. Judging from their posture, it was obvious that they had already assigned their defensive targets.

Futsal football without a goalkeeper does not care who is attacking and who is defending. In this kind of field, most players are all-around. The reason why Nain chose a very pure defender is because he does not know the situation of the crowd. It is also a little safer to be in charge of defense, and from the perspective of Nain's choice, it seems that the selected people are the ones with outstanding personalities.

Although Nain has no experience in big games, he has been a ball boy for ten years, standing on the edge of the court like a participant and a bystander. His behavior is actually something that many Flamengo players and workers don’t understand Yes, the guy doesn't seem to have a passion for football, doesn't act as aggressively as the other caddies, and doesn't cheer the players for goals like the fans.

In the eyes of many people, he seems to be out of the group, which is one of the reasons why Dene didn't keep him!Anyone who is defined as a bystander will be treated as a child's play if he wants to intervene in other people's circles.

Nain has no enthusiasm?He loves football, there is no doubt about it, his calmness is nothing more than a bystander's attitude towards everything that happened on the field. After his parents passed away, he once didn't smile, and at that time he didn't have the desire to cheer at all.

In a short period of time, in order to avoid missing his parents, he put all his heart on analyzing football. He had to analyze any mistakes made by the players on the field for a long time, and then he used a fantasy that he imagined. A sense of substitution to think about what to do if it were you.

It can be said that he has gotten used to living without parents in ten years, but the vision like a computer has been implanted in his bone marrow. He really loves football, but no one pays attention to his football thinking. It's understandable that you seem a little isolated from the world. No one would think that the silent one in the noise of the fans would be a thinker. It's lucky that they didn't see you as an enemy.

He loves football, so he has enthusiasm and even passion for football. He may not be as crazy as the fans, but at least his heart is fanatical, otherwise he would not be attracted by street football, and he would not be with him. people race.This is not gambling, this is Brazilian football culture.

Just like in South America, no one would think that adding a third party reward to the game is a gamble, because the winner is entitled to this reward, although it is unfair to the opponent.There is gambling in football culture, but gambling does not have the sense of belonging of football.
