[football] exactly the same

"came back?"

When Chrisby returned to the temporary rented apartment of Mr. Aveiro dejectedly after the game—a small temporary measure considering that Cristiano was not at home—Mr. Aveiro was sitting on the sofa watching the post-match report .

Originally, Mendes thought they could simplify things and simply live in their own home.But Mr. Aveiro declined Mendez's kindness—"Thank you, but it is too much trouble for me to live with you. Please rest assured that I can solve this small problem." '

"Would you like something to eat? I asked Mr. Mendez, and he said he wanted some supper after the game." Mr. Aveiro went to the kitchen and took out a pizza, "Just baked."

Although Mr. Aveiro is the father of Chris Jr., considering that the two are still in their infancy, his intimacy with Chris Jr. may not even be as close as that of Cristiano—mostly polite and careful.

Although Little Chris ate something in the locker room after the game, but thinking of Mr. Aveiro's kindness, he still couldn't bear to refuse, "Of course, I feel hungry too."

Mr. Aveiro seemed relieved.

For a while, neither of them spoke - Chris was eating pizza with his head down, and Mr. Aveiro was watching intently.

"Uh, did you watch today's game?" Although Little Chris wasn't sure what would be a good topic for both of us, he might feel that the silence was too embarrassing, so he broke the silence first, "The first half was not very good. Ideal, but fortunately Higuain scored the winner in the second half."

Mr. Aveiro smiled, "I saw it, and I think it looks good."

"But I didn't play well." Little Chris subconsciously followed, his mood continued to be depressed.

Although as a person who doesn't understand football at all and doesn't like to watch football, Mr. Aveiro still smiled and said, "Why do you say that? When I watched the game, the meaning of the commentary seemed to appreciate your performance. And the game After the press conference, Mr. Mourinho also praised you, didn’t he? He just thought that you might not have enough understanding with your teammates.”

"But Cristiano called me at halftime, and he said I can't just do my own thing." Little Chris didn't even know why he told Mr. Aveiro about this - after all, it was a People who don't understand football at all.

"Did he tell you why?" Mr. Aveiro was not impatient, but continued to ask.After receiving a positive answer from Chris Jr. and a fairly complete retelling, Mr. Aveiro said: "He is quite right."

Little Chris froze for a moment.

He didn't expect Mr. Aveiro to give an affirmative answer so simply—to be honest, he regretted telling Mr. Aveiro about it just now.

The whole world knows that Cristiano is hostile to Mr. Aveiro, so as one of the parties involved, Mr. Aveiro certainly knows it too.so……

He was worried that Mr. Aveiro would attack Cristiano, because he didn't like someone attacking Cristiano, and he also didn't want to find out that his "biological father" was a person who would be unfair because of his personal likes and dislikes.

Little Chris' surprised expression made Mr. Aveiro laugh.

"Do you think he's wrong?" asked Mr. Aveiro, laughing. "I don't understand the...principles of football? But, Chris, he's right. It's like a war, and there's nothing like it." Attacking and crushing the enemy is a better defense. And as a general, if you are responsible for the overall situation, then the premise is that you command the overall situation - Ronaldo is right."

Little Chris lowered his head and silently bit the pizza.

"Chris, it's true that a gentleman should respect someone older than you, but work is work - I have an elderly nurse lady at my dental practice in Lisbon, and in private I can pull doors and chairs for her and even pour a cup of tea , but at work, she has to obey me. This is a career, and career and life are two different things." Mr. Aveiro said unhurriedly, "I guess Ronaldo also meant this."

Little Chris was silent, and Mr. Aveiro didn't urge him.

"I know he's right," said Chris Jr. after a long time, "but... I'm still a young player, aren't I?"

"Of course. So, what do you think?" Mr. Aveiro was still not in a hurry when he heard the word 'but', which usually has a negative connotation.

"You can ask the nurse lady because your working relationship is... I don't know, but it's similar to subordinate? Superior and subordinate?" Little Chris asked carefully, and he continued after Mr. Aveiro nodded, "But I No. I'm just a young player, if I ask other older teammates, will they listen to me? Don't they think that someone like me who has not been proven to command them... I Meaning, maybe it will become a point of contradiction in the locker room?"

"Did you tell Ronaldo?"

Little Chris nodded, "Cristiano thinks this is my test."

Mr. Aveiro gave a very unserious laugh, and then, of course, regretted his behavior—really regretted it, because he found that little Chris had become more depressed.

"I'm sorry...I'm not..." Mr. Aveiro was also a little nervous, "I just think this sentence is very similar to what my father said about me at the beginning-my father also likes to tell me, that is your test , you have to figure it out yourself."

Chris Jr.'s hand dropped the pizza in frustration.

Mr. Aveiro tried to salvage what could almost be defined as a failed conversation. "Well, I mean, maybe he just didn't think it was something that should be taught as a lesson," Mr. Aveiro said. Then, he pushed a glass of water to little Chris, "Mr. Mendes said, warm water."

Little Chris forced a smile and said thank you.

"Where do you live tonight?" Mr. Aveiro didn't bother with the topic he didn't understand very much, but instead asked a question he was more concerned about.

"I don't have a car, so... I won't go back to Cristiano's house—he's a little far away from the Bernabéu." Little Chris's mind is obviously still on the matter they just discussed, so once this trivial matter is finished, Immediately asked again: "But why shouldn't it be taught as a lesson?"

Mr. Aveiro was at a loss for words.

He has never been a father. Although he has done some stupid things as a believer in the past ten or 20 years-such as having a certain relationship with a certain girl during the trip-but in general, he is still a man for 'Responsibility' is highly valued by people.

He tended not to take responsibility until he was sure he could - but of course, when responsibility did arise, he probably felt that he was irresponsible.

Now he can be sure that he may indeed not be good enough to be a leading father to his children.

But looking at little Chris, he had to bite the bullet and say, "I think...maybe it's because not everything can be explained clearly? It's like...experimental class?"

Little Chris looked at Mr. Aveiro, and he didn't know why he automatically performed a loud laugh of Cristiano's disdain.

"Uh...yes...is it possible?" Little Chris laughed dryly. "Uh, I mean, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Mr. Aveiro looked at the expression of little Chris and knew that he might have screwed up. He didn't know what to say to save the situation, so he pondered for a long time before saying, "Uh... let me go and warm up the milk for you. ?”

Little Chris hurriedly stuffed the remaining half of the pizza into his mouth, then grabbed a piece of facial tissue to wipe off the food residue on his hands and the corners of his mouth, and said vaguely, "I can do it myself."

Just when Mr. Aveiro was thinking about how to persuade little Chris to sit here and wait for him for a while, the doorbell rang to save this embarrassing room.

The two people turned their heads to look at the door at the same time, and then turned their heads to look at each other at the same time, as if they were waiting for the other to say, "Can you open the door?"-even though they didn't know who else would run into other people's houses at this time There was a knock on the door.

"Uh, Chris, can you open the door for me? Uh, I'm going to heat the milk." After Mr. Aveiro finished speaking, he might be afraid that Chris would continue to be polite to him, so he quickly turned around and went directly to the kitchen to prepare for bed. ex milk.

Little Chris probably felt that he had got something to do instead of just sitting around doing nothing. He was also relieved, and hurried over to open the door for the little angel who saved the world.

"????"

But when little Chris opened the door, he didn't know if it was an angel's favor for him.

"Cristiano?" Little Chris seemed to have some kind of hallucination, "I thought..." He looked at Mendes who was standing behind Cristiano, yawning, "I thought you would go straight home? Now It's getting late..."

"And then? Leaving my tenant out? That's not what a good landlord does." Cristiano stood outside the door with his compasses legs and aggressiveness when he took a free kick. "I said a hundred Next time, there are no special circumstances to stay out at night, which word do you not understand?"

Little Chris looked at Cristiano, looked at Mendes, and decided to give up arguing about this kind of issue, "Uh, I just told Mr. Aveiro...well, then I'll go talk to him..."

Hearing the personal pronoun 'Mr. Aveiro', Cristiano looked much happier, "That's right, we can't bother Mr. Aveiro, can we? Go home."

"But, if you take people from other people's living rooms, shouldn't you ask the master?"

Mr. Aveiro came out of the kitchen, quietly gave the milk to Chris, and asked Cristiano.
