Football career: From winning the championship to becoming a legend

(Uh, (￣▽￣)ノContinue to insert chapters... Don't get me wrong, I'm still continuing with the theme and title of the previous chapter which was not a football match. The timeline is still going along. The title of the next chapter will definitely be restored to Sevilla's Advancing Strength, next)

The next day was Monday, and at 9 a.m., Ricardo had a private training course. Because there was a game last night and the team had routine training in the evening, the two-hour private training course in the morning would not involve much exercise, mainly relaxing muscles and ligaments, supplemented by some technical training.

In Seville, through Pimenta, Ricardo regularly rents a high-end indoor five-a-side football field; why is it high-end? Not only is the indoor temperature constant, but mainly as a five-a-side football field, the turf is natural grass, not artificial grass or rubber flooring... This makes Ricardo very satisfied. As for money, the higher the price, the less of a problem it is.

This season, in addition to consolidating the results of last season's heading training, Ricardo and his personal training team's training goal is to add a new key skill, which is dribbling and ball protection.

After facing Zidane face to face in the World Cup final, Ricardo realized what the true master of ball control was like. He could also imagine how awesome Zidane was at his peak.

Ricardo's previous ball control and dribbling relied more on the basic skills he learned when he was a child. Through smoother stopping, touching and flicking of the ball, he was able to achieve faster changes of direction and escape effects. Coupled with his own excellent physical fitness, if it was a one-on-one situation, it was enough to deal with most defensive players.

However, facing multiple double teams and high-intensity sieges, Ricardo's skills were not good enough; so in previous games, Ricardo paid more attention to one-touch passing to avoid being trapped in the siege. However, this kind of play is very limited and cannot become a real organizer or offensive core - how can you be the core if you can't control the ball?

In Ricardo's previous two seasons at Barcelona, ​​he learned the ball control and escape techniques from Ronaldinho's father, Xavi, Iniesta and others, but he had never received any systematic training. Moreover, the styles of these three people did not seem to suit him, as he preferred the agile and compact style... Ricardo himself preferred the bold and open rhythm of Qi Xuanzong.

Therefore, the private training team took the money to do the job for Ricardo and helped him develop a series of systematic training plans, including but not limited to the basic techniques that needed to be consolidated and improved, as well as simulated practice of protecting the ball and getting rid of it in stationary and dynamic situations.

After training, Ricardo returned to his apartment and received a strange call from a local who had just finished taking a shower:

"Hola! Hello, I'm Li Qi. Who is this?"

"Oh! Ms. Eva, you're welcome, come anytime, I'm at home, C919 ha."

Not long after, Ricardo was met at the door by Miss Eva, who was completely different from the drunk beauty last night.

Eva changed into a tight, long-sleeved, purple-red, low-cut V-neck shirt today, revealing her chest muscles and a little bit of her unfathomable cleavage; at the same time, the tight shirt showed off Eva's slender waist, and the strong contrast between the concave and convex was extremely visually impactful.

With her long brown hair draped over her shoulders, light makeup on her face, and light lipstick and dark eye shadow, Eva looks mysterious yet charming, sexy yet capable.

Before entering the house, Eva gave Ricardo a kiss on the cheek and kept thanking Ricardo for his gentlemanly behavior last night. Ricardo thought Eva's perfume smelled good today, much better than yesterday's mixed with cigarettes, alcohol and sour leather smell.

Ricardo, who hid his true nature as a scumbag and transformed himself into a well-dressed gentleman, briefly introduced their names to each other and then quickly welcomed Eva into the house.

As soon as Eva entered the room, she quickly handed Ricardo a small gift, a small leather gift box from the British Prudential Insurance Company, to further express her gratitude. Ricardo thanked her and took it, thinking: So Eva is working in an insurance company now? Did she go back to the company this morning after a hangover? I didn't see any gift boxes in her room last night.

Eva was wearing a black and white striped pleated skirt that was not even knee-length - it looked like it would be easy to expose herself. After entering the house, she took off her black pointed high heels, changed into the purple-gray thick toe tights and put on the slippers prepared by Ricardo, then walked into the living room in a very ladylike and elegant manner.

Eva's first impression of Ricardo's apartment was the Nordic minimalist style dominated by silver and gray, which was significantly different from her own Spanish-style orange-red small suite that was almost originally rented out.

And because there is someone to clean it regularly, Ricardo's large apartment is even warmer and tidier than Eva's small apartment. Eva really likes Ricardo's aesthetic and cleanliness.

The apartment that Ricardo rented was much bigger than Eva's, covering an area of ​​more than 120 square meters, with 3 bedrooms, 2 living rooms and 2 bathrooms. One of the larger guest rooms was converted into a gym by Ricardo, and the balcony was also enclosed by Ricardo and converted into a study, which contained a new IBM laptop, many software engineering books, and several novels from China.

The living room, which is almost as big as Eva's entire house, has an extra-large LCD TV and a comfortable L-shaped full set of leather sofas; the kitchen is a Western-style semi-open kitchen, directly connected to the dining room and living room, forming a U-shaped structure, which makes it convenient for Ricardo to chat with Eva while preparing lunch in the kitchen.

Seeing that Ricardo was going to cook by himself and prepare Chinese food, Eva was stunned. Oh my God, this is not only a little wolfdog, but also has the attributes of a little milk puppy?

Eva could already smell the peanut pork trotter soup that Ricardo had thrown into the pot in the morning and cooked on time. Her stomach actually started to growl. It smelled so good. Eva obviously hadn't had breakfast in the morning, after all, there was nothing in the refrigerator at home.

Ricardo chuckled and politely declined Eva's request for help. According to the beauty's choice, he poured her a cup of West Lake Longjing tea from China and asked Eva to sit and relax as if she were at home. Lunch would be ready in about 15 or 20 minutes - Ricardo had already washed and prepared the vegetables and meat before he went out in the morning.

Eva naturally chose to lean on the leather sofa, which looked very comfortable and was even more comfortable to sit on. Since the sofa was very large, Eva simply put on her slippers, bent her legs and lay down on the chaise longue side of the sofa, leaning against the soft pillow.

The small hot pot, the aroma of food, the fragrance of tea and the comfortable and tidy leather sofa made Eva naturally relax her originally nervous and awkward mood. She began to chat with Ricardo who was cooking. The more they talked, the more they opened their hearts. They talked about Eva's own affairs. The scumbag Li, who had a certain knowledge of psychology, cooperated with her and asked questions without any expression.

Soon, in less than 20 minutes, Ricardo's three dishes and one soup were served; the dishes were broccoli with abalone sauce, beef in golden soup, and huge prawns; the soup was pig's feet stewed with peanuts, and the staple food was served with brown rice, which was nutritious and healthy.

The presentation and aroma alone tempted Eva to salivate before the food even hit the table, (??p?), and after taking the first bite, Eva felt it was so delicious that she wanted to swallow her tongue, and couldn't help but praise it as the best Chinese meal she had ever eaten.

So the two of them ate and talked, and before long they became as familiar as good friends who had known each other for years.

But it was mainly Ricardo who was listening to Eva's stories and complaints; after all, as a relatively well-known star, a lot of information about Ricardo was semi-public, and as a female fan of Ricardo, Eva had watched interviews and read many reports, and knew a lot of Ricardo's stories.

Eva was born in 77, is a Pisces and just turned 29 this year.

(Ricardo: Wow, I can’t tell. Sister Eva has taken good care of herself. Her skin is very elastic and as soft as a baby’s… Come on, eat more pig’s feet. They are rich in collagen and can nourish your skin.)

Eva is a native of Seville. She has a 6-year-old daughter named Sofia, who now lives with her grandparents in a small town not far from the city. She usually goes to visit her every weekend.

(Ricardo: Wow, no wonder Eva is so beautiful, Seville is a famous base for beautiful women; and Eva has maintained a good figure after giving birth.)

Eva's figure is maintained thanks to her work as a model and flight attendant in her early years. She does some yoga and body training almost every day.

Eva had a history of marriage, which was a flash marriage. The ex-husband met her in the first class cabin of the plane. After meeting Eva, he pretended to be a wealthy businessman and pursued Eva madly, but he turned out to be a car salesman who loved to drink and brag.

Eva originally wanted to work hard for the sake of the child, but she didn't expect her ex-husband to be a poor man who was living off her and cheated on her during her pregnancy. What's worse, he even abused her...

So this marriage, despite Eva's hard work, only lasted two years. After the divorce, Eva decided to leave Seville for a while in order to start a new life.

Eva first went to Madrid to work, and then had another bloody love affair in Madrid. However, the second scumbag who deceived Eva's feelings this time was an insurance salesman. This time he disguised himself as a financial tycoon to lure Eva into the trap, and as a result, he turned most of Eva's savings into insurance products and then went to look for the next prey.

But this was not the worst. What was worse was the last relationship. After staying in Madrid for more than two years and getting tired of the busy life of a flight attendant, Eva came to Valencia again and began to try a new life and work. She applied for a clerk position in a fund company and wanted to learn how to invest.

Then, Scumbag No. 3 appeared in Eva's love life again; this time, Scumbag No. 3 pretended to be a real estate developer, but was actually a complete liar. Under the guise of project development and investment, he not only cheated Eva of all her savings, but also turned all the insurance policies that Eva bought from her previous scumbag into loans...

After two years of cheating Eva on food, drink and sex, he spent all of Eva's last penny and put her in debt. Before he disappeared, Scumbag No. 3 even wanted Eva to sleep with a sloppy old man with a big belly. Just when Eva got rid of the sloppy old man with a bullet knee and wanted to confront Scumbag No. 3, he also disappeared completely.

(Ricardo couldn't help but blush when he heard this, (っ′w`)?(╥w╥), Oh my god, this beautiful girl is too easy to deceive, it's really pitiful... Aren't the more beautiful women more likely to deceive people? Hmm? I seem to have discovered something, no, these stories can't be believed completely, I need to observe more...)

Exhausted, traumatized and penniless, Eva felt the world was full of malice and ruthless beatings. She missed her daughter and hometown so much that she returned to her hometown half a year ago.

After resting at home for a few months and accompanying her daughter for a while, she borrowed some money from her parents and went to the city to find a job. After all, the ordinary and hard life of living off her savings was not something this former model and flight attendant, who was used to spending money lavishly, could endure.

This time when she came to the city, Eva could only rely on the little insurance knowledge she learned from the second scumbag. She joined Prudential, one of the world's largest insurance companies, and became an insurance broker. After all, in the previous adventures of the scumbag, although insurance did not give Eva much protection and security, at least she could still get a loan when she needed it, and it was real, unlike those illusory feelings and promises.

Then Eva summarized her current situation with two sentences that Ricardo seemed to be familiar with: she only wanted to make money and she no longer believed in love...

After dinner, Eva helped Ricardo clean up the kitchen. After all, she was the child's mother, so she was quite good at housework. However, Ricardo obviously felt that Eva was being reserved, so he was not satisfied with the lunch; the portion of each dish was not big, and there was still a lot left.

So while Eva was helping to wash the dishes and continuing to chat about life, Ricardo used two Lock & Lock glass sealed bowls to pack Eva a big bowl of her favorite pork trotter stewed with peanuts, as well as a loving bento that contained all the best ingredients.

Eva has been working at the insurance company for more than a month, but she hasn't closed a single order yet. She is worried about this. Moreover, she is back in the city where she is familiar and where she started. She can't help but feel sad when she sees things. So she has been drinking to drown her sorrows. Yesterday was the day she drank the most because it was a gathering with her best friends...

At this point, Eva secretly glanced at Ricardo who was packing his lunch box, and asked tentatively: "Well, Mr. Li Qi, have you bought insurance?"

"Well, insurance? If you promise me to take the lunch box I prepared, I will talk to you about insurance... I will have a nutritious meal at the club tonight, it will be a waste if you don't take it away." Ricardo said as he packed everything for Eva.

"Ah? That's not good. I'm eating and taking... But Ricardo, your cooking skills are really good. It's so delicious. Can I take it away? Thank you so much." Then Eva started talking about insurance with Ricardo.

But Ricardo soon discovered that it was not unfair for Eva not to open an insurance policy for a month. As a practitioner, this silly girl couldn't even distinguish between consumer insurance and return insurance. I really don't know how she passed the professional qualification examination...

However, Ricardo did not reject insurance, especially Prudential, which was trustworthy. Although it was not important for him to have insurance or not considering his wealth now, it was a good choice to buy some for his family and put part of his wealth on the table through insurance; what's more, he could also pick up girls.

So Ricardo described the situation at home, raised some questions, asked Eva to go back and do her homework and plan, and agreed to come back to his house the next morning to talk in detail. Then he sent Eva back to D836 to rest.

After all, Ricardo had just finished training in the morning and needed a short rest. He had another training session in the evening. And sleeping with fans is not something that can be done in a hurry. You can't be irresponsible like Wu Yifan and sleep yourself into it. In addition to providing emotional value and physiological value, you must also continuously provide real value.

……

While Ricardo was taking a lunch break, Eva, who had just returned to the apartment, did not rest at all. The Spanish do not have the habit of taking naps. Eva picked up her office bag and hurried back to the company. Before her colleagues got off work, she quickly consulted her seniors about some questions and types of insurance that Ricardo had just raised, and worked hard to prepare a plan.

Eva was busy working overtime in the office until Ricardo finished training. She even heated up her dinner in the microwave in the office. But it was so delicious that Eva was moved to tears. She didn't know how long it had been since she had experienced such a warm and sweet feeling, and she also had hope and expectations for life and tomorrow...

Eva felt that the gears of her destiny had definitely started turning the moment she blacked out last night!
