[Football] My bamboo horse is very girly

Sandy returned to Lisbon to go to secondary school, while Cristiano stayed in Funchal, and in the time before they were together again, they could only communicate with each other through letters and phone calls.Among them, letters played a great role in maintaining their relationship. The following are excerpts from their letters.

Letter from Cristiano to Sandy, dated XX, [-]:

Dear Sandy, today is the [-]st day since you left Funchal.Today I played for Andorinha for the first time as a main player. I am very excited, but I am also a little disappointed. How I hope that when I play as a main player for the first time, you can cheer for me in the stands.

But in the first half, I'm glad you weren't there because we played like shit in the first half and lost two goals at once.I think at that point I felt terrible and I wanted to take off my jersey and walk away.But I didn't cry at halftime, well, just a little bit, I swear!

I said to myself, damn there is still a second half!As a result, I scored two goals in the second half, and everyone was cheering for me, but unfortunately you were not among the cheering people.Ah, yes, in the end we won the game [-]-[-].I hate losing, if I score and lose the game, it makes me very upset.

Sandy, I miss you very much, but my mother said that the education in Lisbon is much better than that in Funchal. It is right for you to go to Lisbon. Since I am your friend, I should think about you.Yes, we are friends, best friends, and I should hope you are doing well in Lisbon.I am going to confess that I had a dark moment wishing you to stay in Funchal forever!

Well, I am going to practice. The coach said that if I continue to work hard, Funchal and even Madeira will not be able to keep me soon. Places like Lisbon and Porto are the places I should go.Well, actually I want to tell him that I just want to go to Lisbon.Practicing now, in addition to improving the environment at home, I can also be with you. I will work harder for this goal.

ps, I am sending you my starting jersey and tickets for that game with the letter. Although you can't come, I will still reserve tickets for you every game.

----------------------

Letter from Sandy to Cristiano, dated XX, [-]:

Dear Chris, I miss you too.

I am very happy to receive your letter, I can see that you have been doing well recently.It's a pity that I can't see you start for the first time, but I promise that I will go to watch you play live whenever I have the opportunity, but you must also make sure to start every time and score goals.

Although I didn't go to the scene, I can imagine the heroic appearance of dear Chris on the court.Ah, the handsome Ronaldo is extraordinary!Ah, the intrepid Ronaldo past the goalkeeper!The ball went in!Ronaldo is our brightest star today!I think those commentators must say so.

But the Andorinha game can't be seen in Lisbon, so I agree with your coach's decision, try to go to the big city Chris!Well, the two teams in Lisbon are the best. I found out clearly that there are two teams in Lisbon, Sporting Lisbon and Benfica, both of which are very good.And they don't like Porto's team, if you go to Porto, I can only risk my life to cheer for you.Haha, of course, I will not be afraid to cheer for the lovely Chris!So come on boy, sister, I am optimistic about you!

One thing by the way.My cousin said that you are bragging, the jersey you sent so fragrant must not have been worn during the game.For what he said, I teamed up with my other cousin to punish him severely, and he has changed his words.But I will not forgive him so easily, I made him swear, will always be a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, even if you end up in Porto.By the way, I forgot to tell you, he is a Benfica fan, so as long as you go to Porto, he will definitely be killed in the game between Porto and Benfica.

Finally, I would like to talk about my recent situation. I have already entered middle school, and the school chosen by my uncle is a mixed-sex school, and it is an international school.Everyone is very nice, I made a few friends, including Arabs, Indians, and Chinese.The Arab didn't like me at first, well, I should say he looked down on any woman, so I beat him up.Indians always like to practice a kind of yoga that puts themselves into strange shapes. I also learned it, which seems to be very interesting.There are also Chinese people. In fact, if we don’t count nationality, we should be compatriots, um, called descendants of Yan and Huang.She is a lovely girl who can make a lot of delicious food, and I followed suit.It's a pity that the food will not be fresh if it is delivered from Lisbon to Funchal, otherwise I can send you my braised pork.However, I am sending you the mooncakes that my aunt taught me to make with this letter, I hope you like it.

Letter from Cristiano to Sandy, dated XX, [-]:

Sandy I'm so sad, last time I thought you'd be back in Funchal for your vacation, but you didn't.Hmph, I decided at that time that I will never talk to you until the holiday is over.But I found that if I ignore you, the saddest will be myself.So after touching my nose to make sure it won't grow longer, I wrote to you again.

The biggest change that happened to me recently should be the transfer, yes, I completed the first transfer when I was ten years old (smiling), but my dad said that I will definitely experience many transfers in the future .

Well, if I introduce myself now, I can say that I am a player of the Madeira national team in the Portuguese first division team.Of course, it is only a youth training player, but from the amateur team Andorinha to the first-tier team Madeira National Team, I think this should be regarded as an improvement.

And the national team is a first-tier team. We will go to various places in Portugal to play games. There are two teams in Lisbon, and we will go at least twice a year.I'm training hard and hopefully the coach will take me with me.Well, although I can only be a caddy at my age.

In fact, my father would prefer that I go to Maritimo, because Maritimo is closer to our home, but Maritimo did not send anyone to attend the negotiations on my ownership hosted by the Andorinha Club, It also means they gave up on me.I swear, they will regret it!

By the way, I have never told you about my transfer fee. I bought [-] footballs and [-] sets of equipment for Andorinha. This should improve the training conditions of my former teammates a lot. I really I hope to bring them more things. I have this ability, and I must do it.I swear, when I have the ability, I will try my best to help Andorinia, for the good time I spent there.

Finally, some bad news. My dad has been drinking more and more recently. After drinking, he is like a different person.I was very scared because I remembered the story you told me about the hero who got drunk and killed the tiger. My dad wouldn't do the same, would he?There is no tiger at home to beat him, will he beat me and my mother, brothers and sisters?

Letter from Sandy to Cristiano, dated XX, [-]:

I'm really sorry, Chris, for my no-show.

As we said in our last correspondence, I really plan to go back to Funchal during the summer vacation, to visit my grandfather and you as well.

But the plan didn't change quickly. I heard that my uncle's bodyguard company was recruiting a group of new members at that time and would conduct unified bodyguard training. I finally persuaded my uncle to agree to my participation in this training.

So for the entire summer vacation, I stayed in a place that was isolated from the outside world and could not communicate with the outside world.

Chris, I found that I had a big misunderstanding about bodyguards. I thought that just like in the movie, as long as you can shoot, use stunts to drive, and wear a black suit and sunglasses.But after actually participating in bodyguard training, I realized that it takes a lot of hard work to become a qualified bodyguard.Unfortunately, I did not stick to this training in the end.Originally, I was able to do it, but after a collapse, I was forcefully taken away from the training camp by my uncle.I decided that next summer I must make a comeback, and when I can enter the training camp as an official bodyguard trainee, I will definitely complete all the training.

Chris remember our dream?You want to be a star and eventually play for Real Madrid, whereas I want to be a bodyguard who can help and protect people.I am so happy that we are all working hard to fulfill our respective dreams now and I hope we can all be successful.

Regarding the drinking of Uncle Dinis, my grandfather said when he told me the story of the hero Du Nisi, too much alcohol hurts the body.It means that drinking too much alcohol will harm our health and make our bodies sick, so you can discuss it with Aunt Dolores and persuade Uncle Dinis to let him drink less alcohol.By the way, if Uncle Dinis drinks too much and shows some violence, you can ask my grandpa for help, he will definitely be able to help.

ps, I am sending you a gift with the letter. This is a pair of wristbands. I got it from a senior bodyguard when I was in the bodyguard training camp. It is a gift to congratulate you on your first transfer in your life.

Letter from Cristiano to Sandy, dated XX, [-]:

Dear Sandy, I can't calm down at the moment, I won the championship, the league champion in the age group of [-]-[-] years old.In order to prepare for the final stage of the league, I have not even written to you for several days.

I did a great job in the league, it's not me bragging, it's what the coaches said.

This is not the most exciting thing for me. What makes me most happy is that I heard the coaches say that the national team can no longer keep me, and the big teams on the continent have already taken an interest in me.

Next, I will continue to train hard to make myself look better. Who knows if the scouts of those big teams will hide somewhere to watch my training.But no matter what, I'm the best one.

I will faithfully record those teams that are interested in me. I hope there is a Lisbon team there.

Oh, and about Dad, we can't stop him from drinking.But that time I went to ask your grandfather for help like you said, and he was really amazing.

Grandpa came to our house, and with just a slight push, my dad lay on the bed, and then we tied him up with a rope.Your grandfather said that my father drank too much alcohol, maybe his stomach and liver have problems, he probably was poisoned.Grandpa also said that he didn't know much about that Chinese medical technique, only limited to orthopedics, otherwise he could use acupuncture to detoxify Dad.I was curious, and secretly pricked my arm with my mother's needle. It really hurt. Can that really help my father?

Letter from Cristiano to Sandy, dated XX, [-]:

A team really came to find a club for me!And it's Sporting Lisbon!

Before that, I prayed devoutly before going to bed every night, hoping that a Lisbon team would be interested in me. I didn't expect this day to come!

That day the coach called me over suddenly during training, and then he introduced me to a gentleman who was a scout from Sporting Lisbon. Get in touch with my family.

Mr. Scout said that Sporting Lisbon is very interested in me, and they will make a detailed development plan for me.He met with my parents, and I was allowed to sit in on the entire conversation.

Although my father was a little disappointed that the team that came to me was not his favorite Benfica, he still asked a lot of questions.Mom was almost over excited, you know, she is a Sporting Lisbon fan, and her favorite star is Luis Figo.Hmph, mom actually doesn't like me the most, I'm going to be angry, um, angry for ten seconds!

Although my parents told Mr. Scout that they have to think carefully about my future, but I think this time is very interesting, and I have a hunch that I am getting closer to Lisbon!

Wait for me Sandy, I'll be coming to you soon!

Letter from Cristiano to Sandy, XX, [-]:

I'm leaving for Lisbon!

Sandy, we're meeting soon!

During the Easter break in [-], Cristiano, accompanied by his godfather, embarked on a trial trip to Lisbon.

The author has something to say: I hope this chapter will not make you dizzy after reading it. This chapter is about the correspondence between Luo Er and Sandy, and it can just explain what they have experienced during the two years apart from each other.

The next chapter will move to Lisbon. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. First of all, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course, the most practical thing is that tomorrow, besides the main text, there will be a Mid-Autumn Festival episode. You will know the specific content when you read it tomorrow.

By the way, let’s popularize Luo Er’s early transfer history:

At the earliest, he entered the local amateur team Andorinha in Funchal, and then was spotted by the local national team in Madeira. The transfer fee was [-] footballs and [-] sets of equipment.Then the Madeira national team moved to Sporting Lisbon. I will describe this transfer in the following, and I will talk about it at that time.

In addition, the Portuguese Super League was founded in [-], so when Luo Er experienced these transfers, the Madeira National Team and Sporting Lisbon belonged to the Portuguese First Division.
