The day after tomorrow is August 10, the first round of the Brazil National Championships.

Although it is not the last training session before the game, every player tries his best during training.

Because they know very well that after this training, the 18-man roster of the first round of the national championship will be announced.

Although everyone's condition and training performance have been reflected in more than a month of training and warm-up matches, and the head coach also knew it at this time, everyone still hopes to seize this last opportunity and perform well.

Especially those players who consciously have unsafe positions, they are working very hard, hoping to win the trust of the head coach and take the last bus.

When the training was over, Kaka supported her knees with both hands, bent down and panted heavily, looking very tired.

"You don't have to work so hard, Kaka." Renardo saw Kaka and patted his back and said to him. "If you can't make it to the big list, there will be something wrong with this world, right?" He also made a joke that was not funny.

Kaka shook his head and did not answer him.

How could Renaldo know that his goal is not the 18-man roster, but the starting list?

He returned to the team on the 12th to start training.

It's basically exactly one month now. During this January, he has a very serious sense of crisis.

He always felt that if he didn't work hard, he might not even have a starting position...

Logically speaking, he is an international player who participated in the World Cup, and he is the well-deserved core of this team. He should not have such concerns. In Sao Paulo, no one can threaten his position.

But he had this idea, especially after seeing Glory's performance in training.

That kid naturally cannot match his own strength. Kaka has this confidence.

But why do I just think this kid can pose a great threat to him?

He tried his best to train for this.

I dare not relax my requirements every day.

Although head coach Osvaldo Oliveira and assistant coach Mauro have advised him to pay attention to rest and not to work so hard.

But Kaka couldn't listen at all. In his heart, there was a sense of crisis. He felt that behind him, there seemed to be a tiger chasing him. If he ran slower, he would be caught up and eaten.

This feeling surprised Kaka.

Just a few months ago, I was a beginner who I didn’t care about at all. How could I feel threatened now?

Especially in the past two months, after I came back from participating in the World Cup, I found that the progress of glory has become great.

There is a feeling of being completely unrecognizable.

He originally thought that he had experienced the highest stage in the world football world, and his level and knowledge had increased greatly.

Who knew that when I came back, the progress of glory was greater than that of him!

What exactly happened to Chinese rookies during the month I went to participate in the World Cup?

Kakabasi couldn't figure it out.

After the training, head coach Osvaldo released the 18-man roster for the game against Botafogo.

As expected, it was stuck inside, and of course, the glory was also there.

Renaldo also spread his hands at Kaka: Look at you working so hard, aren’t you still on the big list? What are you worried about?

Kaka did not look at him, but instead set her eyes on Glory behind him.

After announcing the 18-man roster, Osvaldo did not immediately announce his dissolution, but said: "Kaka, stay for a while."

Everyone turned their heads to look at Kaka, but they didn't care too much, so they quickly turned their eyes back.

After a World Cup, Kaka has become the core of the team and even tends to replace Ricardinho. Before the first game, it is normal for the head coach to leave him alone to explain something...

But then Osvaldo pointed to Glory again. "Oh, Glory, and you, you stay for a while."

These eyes became complicated.

Kaka stayed because he was the team’s well-deserved core, so it was normal to give a few words before the game.

What does it mean to let glory stay?

What are some things to explain to a substitute?

This time Kaka also turned his head to look at Rongguang.

He seemed to have a premonition from the head coach's unusual move...

※※※

Although Osvaldo called two people, he did not mean to let the two people go in and talk to him at the same time.

He called Kaka into his office first, and Rongguang was waiting outside.

"It must be very tiring to participate in a World Cup far away in Asia, right?" Osvaldo did not get straight to the topic, but started chatting with Kaka first.

Kaka quickly shook her head: "No, I'm not tired, sir!"

He smelled a bad smell from this opening remark. In order to avoid things moving in that bad direction, he must not say anything against the head coach's intention.

But is the head coach's meaning so easy to reverse?

Osvaldo smiled slightly: "Don't be stubborn, Kaka. We have scientific physical test results, and we have conclusions about your physical condition. Mauro and I remind you more than once during training to let you pay attention to rest. But you always seem very urgent. I don't quite understand what can make you so impatient..."

When Kaka heard this, her face became a little unnatural.

He can't tell the head coach that he is actually worried that his glory will surpass him, right?

"Since you don't want to rest yourself, I can only force you to rest. So Kaka, you have to sit on the bench the day after tomorrow."

Kaka was stunned for a moment, and the thing he was most worried about finally came.

Why am I so desperately working hard in training and unwilling to rest? Isn’t I just don’t want to lose my starting position?

As a result, I lost the starter...

Then hasn't my efforts this month become a joke?

I'm not willing to give up.

"Sir, I have no problem with my physical condition and I am in good condition. I believe I can be able to start." He quickly defended himself.

He had a premonition that it would be a very dangerous thing for him to lose the starting position in the first game.

So he is trying to convince his head coach.

But Osvaldo has obviously thought about it and it is not easy to change his decisions.

"You need a break, Kaka. I'm not questioning your ability and status, but you need a break. Have you forgotten the frequent injuries you encountered in the first half of the year?"

Hearing this, Kaka opened her mouth and didn't know what to say.

The injury in the first half of the year was indeed his pain.

How did glory rise?

Wasn't it just because of the injury that gave him a chance to play on the bench?

Since then, the Chinese rookie is like a wild horse that is out of control, no longer under control and has become popular all the way.

If you are injured again, can you give yourself a chance to catch up again, which is already stronger than before?

Kaka nodded with difficulty: "I will get back to physical fitness as soon as possible, sir."

Osvaldo nodded: "Don't worry, Kaka. Don't worry. As long as you rest, you will return to the starting lineup."

Although Osvaldo had no idea what would happen in the future, in order to appease Kaka at this time, he naturally had to make such a blank check.

※※※

The office door was pushed open, Kaka came out from inside, and he saw the glory waiting at the door.

"Sir, please come in." Kaka helped the head coach pass the message to Rongguang.

Rongguang did not walk in directly, but suddenly asked, "What did he say to you?"

In Kaka's opinion, this problem is simply spreading salt on his wounds...

So he refused to answer the question, but said lightly to Rongguang: "You will know when you go in and listen."

After saying that, he passed by Rong Guang.

Rongguang turned his head and looked at his back and grimaced. "Shuh, what's so amazing!"

Then he turned around and walked into the head coach's office.

※※※

"I'm starting?" Rong Guang was stunned and repeated the words of head coach Osvaldo.

"Yes, you started this game, Rong." Osvaldo nodded and confirmed.

"Ye!" Rongguang couldn't control his emotions and waved his fist in front of the head coach.

He suddenly remembered why Kaka looked so unhappy when he came out...

Doesn’t it mean that Kaka will sit on the bench if he starts by himself?

Finally squeezed that guy to the bench, hahahaha!
