[football] this god

"is it today?"

"Yes, Jazz mentioned it several times yesterday, do you remember? He kept saying that we should pay attention to our attitude and not scare young people or something."

When Van Nistelrooy and Ferdinand walked into the locker room chatting, they unexpectedly found that the locker room was extremely quiet today, and all the people who had already arrived in the locker room were chatting quietly—this is very unusual, you know the locker room But it has never been an elegant place like a concert hall, where soft words are required.

But after only being puzzled for three seconds, Ferdinand astutely discovered the source of the weirdness.

The cubicles of all the players were the same, except that the small cubicle belonging to No. 7, which was occupied by Beckham the year before, now sat a curly-haired young man with a smile on his face and seemed a little shy.

Ferdinand felt a huge shock in his soul, like a fried egg that was put on a pan and exploded in an instant.

"Did I read it wrong?" He stared at the curly-haired young man and asked Fanny beside him.

"No." Fanny said dryly, "If you were asking me if there was that little Portuguese boy sitting in David's cubicle before, then I have to tell you that you read it right."

Ferdinand walked over as if sleepwalking, looked down at the Portuguese curly hair, and then looked up at the name and number posted on the grid, "Ronaldo?" - he slowly read the name posted on the cabinet, as if It's a completely unknown pronunciation rule that he can't pronounce correctly.

Cristiano nodded with a smile, "Or you can call me Cristiano, Ronaldo... Uh, it's not bad though."

"Number 7?" Ferdinand swallowed, "Did the staff mislabel it? Uh...you can tell me, and I'll help you talk to them?"——He didn't believe that Jazz would agree to use this number To such a young man, even if this young man is so brilliant and radiant.

But after all, he is a child, he is still too young, so young that he will easily be overwhelmed by the expectations and pressure represented by 7-Ferdinand does not know what the Jazz, who has always been good at cultivating young people, thinks, but he thinks the Jazz made a mistake this time. up.

The Jazz shouldn't have given such a big expectation to a child - believe in his experience, it only takes one or two unsatisfactory performances, and the pen of the British media is enough to kill this little curly hair.

Cristiano froze for a moment.

When Van Nistelrooy saw the expression on Cristiano’s face, the alarm bells rang in his heart, and he secretly scolded Ferdinand a hundred times for being out of his mind, then quickly went over and pulled Ferdinand away, and said to Cristiano himself: “Oh, Ferdinand meant… ...uh," he looked into the young man's bright eyes, didn't know what to say for a while, and then continued after a while, "he was afraid that the staff would make a mistake—I mean, if they made a mistake , you can tell us, and we can complain to them for you."

Cristiano looked even more confused.

"English! Yes, I'm talking about English!" Fanny suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "You know, you just came from Portugal, Ferdinand was afraid that it would be inconvenient for you to communicate with the staff and the Jazz—you know, this is not Your fault, Sir's Scottish accent is often incomprehensible even to the English."

...and this is no one's head either.

"Thank you?" Cristiano stroked his curly hair. "Uh, thank you for your... kindness. Of course, if something goes wrong, I will definitely ask for help. So, thank you for your willingness to help me."

Cristiano knew what Ferdinand meant. Ferdinand said exactly the same thing "once before" and asked him if the staff posted the wrong number.But what is different from today is that the "before" Cristiano jumped on the touch, and he took Fernandi's words as a huge humiliation.

"By the way, they posted it correctly." Cristiano showed a big smile. "This is what I proposed to the Jazz. I want to be the new No. [-] of Manchester United."

"Which number do you want to choose?" the Jazz asked Cristiano after signing yesterday.

This is probably the most important question in Cristiano's life-it symbolizes the status of Jazz in his life. His father gave him the name Cristiano Ronaldo as a birth gift, and Jazz is in this name. A 7 is dotted behind it to mark the true starting point of his career.

Cristiano was surprised to find that even after so many years, he still remembered the moment when it happened "for the first time", everything around him: Mendes turning the pen he signed with, what it meant to all this I don't know; Jazz smiled and looked at the young child in front of him, as if he had already confirmed that he would become a page in history that cannot be forgotten; and Cristiano himself?He just stupidly replied "Maybe it's the same number I used before?"

At that time, he didn't know what the question in front of him meant, and he didn't know what kind of journey it was. metaphor.

But "this time" was different, "this time" Cristiano knew what was in front of him.

That was the day Cristiano Ronaldo was born - the beginning of a great career.

So Cristiano chose to do his part.

"Seven, Sir, I want seven," Cristiano said with a smile.

He heard the muffled thud of Mendez's pen dropping on the carpet, and he heard a very soft, suppressed sigh of shock from Mendez.

He has a lot of time to understand how Mendes feels in this second, but what he needs in this second is to let the Jazz see his determination - he looks into the Jazz's eyes, when he is sure he saw Jazz's surprise , he said again, "Seven, sir, I think that's what I want."

7 represents his starting point, his journey and his destination. This number is like a part of his name. He was awarded this number back then, and this time he will take the initiative to get it.

Sir was silent for a while, "Of course I can give it to you, but I want to hear you tell me that you do know what you're doing."

"Yes Sir, I am very clear." Cristiano said, "I am making a guarantee to you that I will surpass any former Manchester United No. 7, including but not limited to Mr. Beckham-I hope You give it to me and then you know that one day the meaning of that number in football will be given to me."

"HOWDARE YOU!!" Fernandi exclaimed before anyone had time to stop him, "Don't you know who the number seven of Manchester United was before you?"

It was hard for Cristiano to deny that even though he knew that Ferdinand had no ill intentions towards him, he was still offended by the phrase "how dare you", "Sir, I know exactly who my previous No. [-] was."

——This is very uncomfortable. It has been too many years for Cristiano to be looked down upon to this extent. He is more used to the envy and admiration of thousands of people later.But Cristiano knew what was going on, so he restrained himself.

"But whoever it is, sir, whoever it is," said Cristiano, with a slight frown, "it doesn't affect me, it's my motivation at best — my motivation to surpass him."

"I will prove that you are right to choose me, and I will prove that what you give me is what I deserve." Cristiano said to the Jazz yesterday.

There is no number 10 in the world except Messi, and there is no number 7 in the world except Ronaldo.
