Among the top Portuguese players in the golden generation, there are Figo, Costa and paulo sousa in the midfield; The back line has jorge costa and Hernando Cotto; Even the goalkeeper position has emerged as a top goalkeeper like Bai Ya, but the striker can’t find a top shooter who can turn Figo’s delivery into a goal!
Although two strikers, sa Pinto and Jorge Pinto, have emerged in the Golden Generation, neither of them has scored more than one goal in a single season in the Portuguese League, let alone in international competitions.
Who would have thought that Eusébio, which once gave birth to "Panther", would be worried about the lack of a top shooter now?
Boss, you really hit the nail on the head. Costa shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seems that his national team dream is still far away …
"Well, are you Mr. Rui Costa?" Just when Costa Zhuang’s songs were sad, a woman’s voice came to him.
"Yes, I am." Although Costa drank a lot, he still stayed awake. Even if he was drunk, there was a self-proclaimed boss, Miss Secret Karin, who could take them back to the hotel.
"I have a son who likes football very much. Many older children here can’t beat him, but we don’t have the money for him to receive better professional training …" The woman who spoke turned out to be the chef who had been in charge of barbecue cooking just now.
Costa understood this woman’s purpose as soon as she heard it. After all, Portugal’s economy can be ranked in the bottom in the EU, not to mention that it belongs to a remote island in Portugal.
Although Madeira’s tourism industry is famous in Europe, not many local people actually get rich by it. Most of the profits are earned by foreign businessmen. The people make a living by working in these hotels (the per capita income of Portuguese in Madeira is less than 4 dollars).
With compassion, Costa readily agreed to the chef’s request and made an appointment with her to visit her the next day. According to the mother, this child is "absolutely talented as a star".
Anyway, if I find a good seedling on vacation, I can bring it to my new boss as a gift; There’s nothing to lose if it’s not yourself, is there?
"By the way, what’s your child’s name?" Before he left, Costa remembered that he hadn’t asked the child’s name.
"cristiano ronaldo"
Chapter 155 Young genius
"What? You mean cristiano ronaldo? ！” Early the next morning, Zhuang Ge heard that Costa was going to see a "football genius" in a village in Madeira volcano on the outskirts of Funchal, and asked the child’s name in a curious Zhuang Ge.
The result from Costa’s mouth is to surprise Zhuang Ge. That’s Cristiano Ronaldo! One of the best stars in future generations! Zhuang Ge, a fan, immediately said that he also wanted to see Cristiano Ronaldo, who is still "Zhengtai" in the past, which made him plan to have a good day with Karin in Madeira Island and paid a painful price for delaying this Zhuang Ge for some reason.
"Rui, how far are we from our destination?" Sitting in the car ZhuangGe rictus rubbed waist soft meat and asked.
"According to the address that the lady gave me, it should be here soon."
At an altitude of 162 meters, the Madeira volcano is the highest mountain in Portugal. There are many simple-looking but unique residential buildings scattered in the south of it. Most of the residents who live here are super poor with an average annual income of less than 2 dollars, and what Costa called "gifted children" live in this village.
In C Luo’s mother, Zhuang Ge and others guided the car to walk through the gravel paved paths at the entrance of the village and finally arrived at Zhengtai C Luo’s residence-a small courtyard was carved out by a wooden board outside the house.
Gently push the wooden door of the courtyard and look around. The courtyard is filled with all kinds of garbage plastic bags and a scrap iron bar to make a miniature goal …
"This is it? Won’t … go wrong? "
Although Zhuang Ge knew something about the difficult situation of C Ronaldo’s family in his previous conversation with C Ronaldo’s mother, it was not that he had never seen a poorer family in Croatia … But Zhuang Ge was shocked by the sight before him. After all, this is not a war-torn Yugoslavia, but a tourist resort, Madeira Islands!
"Dienis (C Ronaldo’s father) I’m back! Is Ronnie (C Ronaldo) at home? "
"I’m not here, but I ran out to play wild ball with those kids."
Going out to meet a middle-aged uncle introduced each other, and Zhuang Ge learned that this middle-aged uncle was C Ronaldo’s father, and learned from his wife that Zhuang Ge and others had come here. The middle-aged uncle was even more enthusiastic and invited everyone to his home.
The living room in the room is small, and a group of people huddle in the room to find a place to sit at will and talk to each other.
Enthusiastic middle-aged uncle is like a natural tour guide, from the beautiful scenery of Madeira Island to his familiarity with football. When it comes to his youngest child, Cristiano Ronaldo, he talks a lot. The father’s words reveal satisfaction and pride, which deeply infected everyone present.
"This is a sensible child!"
"this is a child full of dreams!"
"This kid named Ronaldo knows very well how to get his family out of poverty and live a happy life …"
If you feel anything in front of the simple middle-aged uncle, the audience will give their own judgments on the child who has not yet met.
……
"Dad, I’m back. I scored four more goals in today’s game …" While talking, a young voice came into the ears of everyone in the room, and then a child ran into the room with a hand-sewn ball.
Dark face, strong body and full of health and vigor … Although the impression of seeing Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time was somewhat unexpected, Zhuang Ge still affectionately patted the little guy on the shoulder.
"Hello Cristiano, I’m Antonio Corleone, the president of Florence Club …" Zhuang Ge patted the one in front of him with a look of surprise. shota went on to say, "We heard from your parents that you are very talented in football, so this Mr. Rui Costa came here specially from vacation to see your talent in football. If you pass his examination, you will get a grant from Florence and a ticket to Florence to help realize your football dream."
