The Day I Played with Ronaldo

He is the player of the same age that I admire the most. In addition to his excellent skills, his inspirations in front of the goal are always endless, and he is always worth learning. — Kluivert

"The weekly salary is 5,000 reais, the contract period is 6 years, and the contract break fee is 12 million U.S. dollars."

Hearing this offer, Farah smiled: "Mr. Lecco, let's do it. After 4 weeks, we will reopen the negotiations. I promise you that within these 4 weeks, I will not give my players Contact other teams..."

Lecco was in a hurry: "If you are not satisfied with this offer, we can talk again. What do you think of the weekly salary of 6,000 reals?"

"Sorry, the time for bargaining is over," Farah laughed. "I promise that I will not contact other teams for 4 weeks. After 4 weeks, we will talk again."

Lyco's forehead was dripping with sweat. If Ricardo transferred to another team freely, the chairman would definitely eat him alive.

"A weekly salary of 6,500 reais, Mr. Farah, think about it! I can't break the club's salary structure for little Ricardo, 6,500 reais is already very sincere!"

"No need," Farah said calmly and confidently, "we'll talk about it in four weeks."

"4 weeks can't change anything, I can completely let Osvaldo not let Ricardo play for 4 weeks!" Lecco blurted out.

"In that case," Farah said slowly, "I will seriously consider free transfers with my players."

"I made a slip of the tongue, please don't take it to heart," Lecco screamed in a bad mood, and hastily changed his words, "Mr. Farah, please think again, a 16-year-old player who can get a weekly salary of 6,500 reais is unique. "

"My player is a unique talent." Farah dropped a sentence, and Shi Shiran stepped out of the office.

Lecco looked at the door with a cloudy face and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he grabbed the exquisite glass ashtray on the table and slammed it against the door. "FACK!"

Annoyed and annoyed, he can't just give up on Ricardo. After 4 weeks, he still has to negotiate again, and the price must be much higher than now.

Now he only hopes that Ricardo's performance will not be too good in the past 4 weeks, and also hopes that Farah can keep his promise and not contact other clubs. Although most of the managers have no integrity, but at this time he can only trust Farah's integrity.

Farah walked out of the administration building, came to the training ground of the first team, and watched Ricardo train. During the interval of training, he waved for Licado to come over.

After Licado stood in front of him with sweat profusely, Farah showed an appreciative smile: "The conversation has collapsed."

Ricardo smiled indifferently: "It's okay. I trust you, Mr. Farah."

"Yes, just trust me, I will negotiate a big contract for you," Farah smiled slyly like a fox, "Actually, Lecco's offer just now is close to my psychological price, but I suddenly realized that, Sao Paulo Club values ​​you more than I expected. I can definitely get you a better contract. But in the next 4 weeks, you must perform well. After 4 weeks, I will start negotiations again. "

"My current state is hot." Licado said confidently.

"That's good." Farah raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "Your training will be over soon. How about I treat you to afternoon tea?"

"Sorry, Mr. Farah, I have more practice. How's dinner?"

Farah frowned, "I'm on an evening flight, I'm afraid I won't be able to make dinner in time."

"Then next time, I really hope to have a good communication with you, Mr. Farah," Ricardo said calmly, "but nothing can disturb my extra training."

Fala's brows furrowed deeper, and then widened, with a smile covering every wrinkle, "Very well, with such diligence, I believe you have a great future, and it's not impossible to reach your brother's height.

Let's have dinner then. I'll run some errands first, and I'll pick you up later. "

Ricardo nodded and returned to the training ground.

...

After having dinner with Ricardo and chatting for a long time to enhance their relationship, Farah flew back to Europe with satisfaction. Although the contract negotiation failed this time, he believes that good progress will be made in 4 weeks. In 4 weeks, with the schedule density of the Brazilian National Championships, there are almost 7 to 8 games. Ricardo is fully capable of using these 7 to 8 games to produce a better stat. At that time, Lecco will definitely ask himself and Ricardo to sign a generous contract.

After returning to Europe, Farah was busy, but he did not forget to pay attention to the news of Ricardo.

A few days later, Ricciardo came off the bench in Sao Paulo's away game against San Caetano. Although Sao Paulo lost 1:3, Ricardo scored another goal and became the player with the highest rating in Sao Paulo. Farah refused to answer several calls from Lecco, showing a smug smile. Soon, Lecco would give in.

In the next game, Sao Paulo's opponent is Fluminense of Rio State.

This is a strong opponent. In the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship half a year ago, Sao Paulo was defeated 5-0 away by his opponent. That humiliating defeat also led to the dismissal of Osvaldo's predecessor.

The media in Rio State chanted the slogan "must win" before the game, not only because of the big victory half a year ago, which made them full of confidence, but also because Fluminense has recently won 3 consecutive victories , while Sao Paulo has lost 3 consecutive games. 1:1 draw with Gremio, 2:2 draw with Cruzeiro, 1:3 loss to San Caetano.

After Fabiano suffered a thigh muscle strain, his state plummeted, and he was inactive for several consecutive games; the defense was also in a sluggish collective state. Kaka and Riccardo are the most dazzling two in Sao Paulo, but they cannot support each other.

In the last game lost to San Caetano, Kaka also seemed to be dragged down by the downturn of the team and seemed not excited enough, ending his record of scoring in 4 consecutive games.

The media in Sao Paulo State, including the Sao Paulo Folha, are also not optimistic about the prospects of Sao Paulo, and even pessimistically pointed out that if this game is lost to the opponent, Osvaldo is likely to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor.

In addition to bad-mouthing articles about Sao Paulo, the focus of the media is also on when will Ricardo make his debut?

Ricardo has proven his strength many times. Although he is young, he is a player who can turn the tide. Such a player will be the heart of every coach. But why did Osvaldo keep pressing him on the bench so cruelly?

The media also solved Osvaldo's problems, discussing enthusiastically, if Sao Paulo sends Ricardo to start the game, what lineup will be formed, what tactics will be used, and who should Ricardo replace in the first game. Fabiano, who is in a sluggish state, is the one who has been "replaced" the most times.
