“Ronaldo is a myth in world football, and his speed and explosiveness have almost reached perfection. Like only one Pele and one Maradona, Ronaldo is unique.” -Mancini
“Who is that? “Oswaldo’s eyes rested on Licado, who was training alone on the sidelines.
“He’s Ricardo.” “said Rojas.
Oswaldo thought about it and raised his eyebrows with interest: “Ronaldo’s brother? "
"…… Yes. "
“How does he train alone? "
Rojas suppressed the fire: “He recently missed too much training without cause, and I decided to make him a team warning, with a penalty of two weeks salary and no involvement in individual training for a week.” "
Oswaldo nodded and had no interest at all. What he needs is a player with professionalism, not the inability to manage his own problems.
Ricardo joined the team after he left the youth team and served in the first team, so he was not familiar with Ricardo. Some time ago, about Ricardo’s storm, he also heard, after all, those news for a period of time occupied a large number of newspaper pages, but he was a little sympathetic to Ricardo, but also some of his misfortune, his anger indisputable.
And he has no intention of interfering with the youth team’s decision to punish. “The ball feels good.” “He commented.
Licado was juggling the ball at the moment, smiling, and the football was like a magnet, firmly attracted to his ankles and thighs. Fully reflecting the skillful abilities of a Brazilian player. (Licado: Am I an iron? ）
Rojas accompanied Oswaldo on the sidelines of the training ground, watching the little players train. But Oswaldo’s eyes are always autonomously attracted to Licado.
Perhaps, because the child is Ronaldo’s brother, he has some kind of expectation for the child? Or does the boy’s skillful moves make him a little touched? Or, the smile on the child’s face, the love of football from the heart, let him feel empathy?
Or, he remembered another famous Brazilian player, Ronaldinho, who always played with a smile, the elf who was born for football?
After watching a lap, Oswaldo said, “You recommend a few players to me.” "
“What position do you want? "
“Centre-forward. "
Rojas then began to point the finger: “This is good, Rico, has explosive power, fast, good technology, shooting a bit reckless, but is a very characteristic striker, is currently the replacement of a U19 national.” "
“This little guy, junior, is competent for any position in the centre, the left and right feet are balanced, the body is a little less capable of confrontation, slower, but the pass dispatch is doing very well, the pass ball is also very good.” "
……
He introduced five small players in one breath.
Oswaldo considered it and observed it for about half an hour.
The first-team manager was watching, and the lads were naturally too excited to find the north, all trying their best to make a good impression in the manager’s eyes.
But the more edgy, the more you want to work hard, the more you will expose the shortcomings.
Oswaldo looked, his brow wrinkled deeper. This group of kids … Passable. Kaka was as big as they were when he boarded to the professional arena, but was too much better than them, both technically and in mentality.
“Just him,” Oswaldo pointed to Rico, “and let him come over and report tomorrow.” "
With that, he turned and walked outside the training ground. Rojas followed him and nodded with a smile: “Rico is a great guy and you won’t be disappointed. "
Oswaldo helplessly nod, he is not holding anything to look forward to. he just want the team to be full of soldiers during this period, can not lose too many points on the road. This is his first time taking Sao Paulo to the national championships, and he can’t bear to see the fans too disappointed.
As he passed the Licado side, he heard a “bang” sound. Oswaldo turned his head and glanced, only to see Licado in front of several football, 20 meters away with a row of triangular cones, about every 1 meters put one, one of which has just been kicked down.
Licado run a few steps, pulled angry shooting, football such as an Arrow arrow flew out, once again knocked down a triangle cone.
Oswaldo stood still in his footsteps. He counted, with a total of 10 triangular cones, which would have been used for other exercises and was used by Licado to practice shooting.
He wanted to see how many shots Licado needed to kick all 10 triangular cones.
Licado third run, shot, triangle Cone fell in answer.
Licado for the fourth time, shot, triangular cone and fell.
……
The 10th time, the shot, the Triangle cone fell to the ground.
Oswaldo finally got a little interest. This shooting is very good quality, strength and speed are close to perfect, the average small player can not have this kind of footwork, light to the theory of shooting, Licado has barely been able to play professional league.
Of course, it also depends on Licado’s physical ability to fight, as well as the ability to run. It’s not a game, it’s a bit of a ball kick!
“How does he usually behave? “asked Oswaldo.
It was Rojas’s turn to wrinkle his eyebrows. “OK, before he was the team’s main striker, goal rate is good, there is a body, there is speed, but the front reaction is a little bit lacking, running is general, not too good with the brain to play football, always thinks of using speed, team awareness is poor.” In the youth team is still good to eat, but if you go to the professional team, the player’s kicking method is too monotonous, it is easy to be killed. "
Rojas did not deliberately belittle, but practical things, the advantages and disadvantages of Ricardo are very clear.
Oswaldo a little distressed. He needs a player with brains, more cover and involvement in the front, and a pivot for Kaka and others.
But Licado’s shooting and physical fitness, as well as the fact of being Ronaldo’s brother, made him a little more heartwarming.
“Let him come over tomorrow, too.” “Oswaldo finally opened his mouth.
Worried that Rojas had an idea, Oswaldo explained: “I heard about him, recently he is probably not very good in the youth team, let him change the environment, after all, is a promising young man, can not be so destroyed.” Don’t worry, I’ll let him train alone, and the punishment you announce won’t be invalidated. "
Promote an insignificant little person into the first team, will not touch anyone’s interests, but may get Ronaldo’s favor.
Although he don’t get a relationship with Ronaldo, he don’t have to curry favor with Ronaldo. But in football, you can’t get around the name Ronaldo. Ronaldo is a phenomenon, a force, a magic. This, he did not need to explain to Rojas.
Rojas, of course, is disgruntled. As soon as the punishment was announced, he was raised to the first team, is it a punishment or a reward?
But he can’t go against the first-team manager after all. To put it bluntly, the head coach of his youth team is serving the first-team head coach, and it is his duty to keep delivering qualified talent to the first team.
“All right, Mr. Oswaldo.” “Rojas did not want to answer.
