Chapter 21 Why stay? ?…(1/2)
When Leonardo drove out of Kaka's yard, he turned his head and found a camera lens sticking out from the flowers on the side of the road.
Reporter?
Leonardo was not surprised.
There have been many rumors about Kaka's transfers recently. Because as the youngest player in the Brazilian team, Kaka has participated in the World Cup and won the Golden Cup of Hercules, Kaka has attracted much attention from European teams.
Some people compared him to Ronaldo in the 1994 World Cup. Both of them were selected for the national team at a young age, participated in the World Cup, and both won the championship as a substitute. But what makes Kaka better than Ronaldo is that he has at least played in the World Cup.
European teams' attention to Kaka naturally attracted the attention of the media.
These days, there have been many rumors about Kaka's transfers in the media.
AC Milan where Leonardo is located, European giant Real Madrid, Premier League team Chelsea, and a Russian team are all related to Kaka.
These media are ambushing around Kaka's home. It is normal for people from clubs to see if there are any clubs that will contact Kaka.
Leonardo did not take the reporter he saw to heart.
However, the next day, local media in Sao Paulo exposed photos of him coming out of Kaka's house.
"AC Milan is secretly contacting Kaka!"
This is the title used by The Lance.
The title used by the Scoreboard is "Kakami Meets AC Milan Messenger Leonardo!"
Both titles are the same, but they give people a different feeling. "Lance" gives people the feeling that AC Milan is actively contacting Kaka. "Scoreboard" gives people the feeling that Kaka is actively contacting AC Milan. The club actively contacting players, which is a normal transfer activity. But if the player actively contacts the opponent's club, are there any rumors like "Kaka is desperate to leave Sao Paulo and go to AC Milan"?
"... The reporter photographed the scene of Leonardo coming out of Kaka's home. The driver in the car was Leonardo. It is no secret that Leonardo worked for AC Milan now... It is not a news that the members of the Brazilian national team have been valued by European teams since the World Cup. Kaka naturally cannot be spared... I have to say that Leonardo's choice was also very good. In the first round of the just-concluded National Championships, Kaka came on as a substitute, and there was no outstanding performance. Instead, the Chinese player Rong, who replaced him as the starting player, performed very well... I think these two things are related, maybe Kaka really wants to leave Sao Paulo this time!"
The main text of "Scoreboard" is also very terrifying.
Of course, the reason for leaving is blamed on Kaka’s own wishes. Why did Kaka have such a thought?
That's because of Osvaldo and glory!
In this way, it is actually a matter of glory.
It was Glory who snatched Kaka's position that made Kaka feel that he was not valued in Sao Paulo and wanted to leave.
Those Kaka supporters will definitely not have any good looks at Rongguang...
※※※
When Rongguang stepped onto the first team training ground and was about to start a new day of training, he heard some female fans shouting and cursing his name.
He felt very strange - I didn't provoke those women myself, right?
"Don't you know, Rong?" Baptista came up and spread her hands and said to Rongguang.
"What do I know?" Rongguang was confused.
"You don't read newspapers or TV news or something?"
Rongguang shook his head: "There is no time."
Yes, he doesn't have time to watch the news in front of the TV or read the news with the newspaper.
He was not interested in what the media said because he was short of time. He had to practice all his time. Only by constantly connecting and honing himself can he catch up with the other party without practicing for seven or eight years less than others.
Although he won the start in the first game, he did not lower his requirements for him.
There is no such thing as starting for granted. He must be able to start because of his ability.
And how did your abilities come from?
It is obtained through hard training.
Therefore, Rongguang never dares to relax his demands on himself.
"Well, some media said that you made Kaka want to leave Sao Paulo. So you are the culprit who forced Kaka away... And those fans are probably because of this." Baptista pointed to the indignant female fans outside the training ground.
Rong Guang was shocked: "Is Kaka going to run away?"
Baptista covered her face, really didn't know how to face the glory of such a reckless mind - hey, this is not the point I am talking about! Besides, what does "escape" mean! It's just a transfer, just a transfer!
"No, it's just not confirmed yet, there are many rumors..." Baptista quickly explained.
"Then what he said?" Rongguang only cared about what Kaka said.
He turned his head and looked for Kaka.
"Stop looking for it, Rong Kaka hasn't come yet."
"Tsk, I'm late to train...this deserter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a scream and cheer on the sidelines.
Rongguang is already very familiar with this sound.
"That deserter actually caught up..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice coming from beside him: "Who is the deserter?"
Kaka'en walked past him.
However, when he heard the screams and cheers, he lowered his head and seemed very shy.
Rongguang made a face behind him: "Directors, deserters, deserters, deserters, deserters..."
Glory stopped until Baptista could not stand his childish behavior. She patted him on the shoulder and dragged him away.

"Have you talked to Kaka?" After the training began, Mauro took the time to ask head coach Osvaldo.
Osvaldo nodded.
"Well. He told me that everything in the media is full of rumors. He will not leave St. Paul this summer."
"Is that so? That's fine." Mauro breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this answer.
If Kaka really leaves Sao Paulo because of the competition for glory, he and Osvaldo will be under tremendous pressure.
"but……"
Unexpectedly, Osvaldo had not finished speaking, and Mauro's expression changed: "But what?"
"But he admitted that he was indeed invited by AC Milan, this summer." Osvaldo said to the players who were training on the training ground.
"Then he..."
"He was willing to stay because of one person."
"Rong?" Mauro was not stupid either. He knew very well about the matter between Rongguang and Kaka. Kaka was usually a gentle and humble boy, even a little too gentle and gentle. Some people have ridiculed Kaka as a weak sissy.
But such a devout believer who can almost perfectly control his emotions in the eyes of others will only show a completely different side from his usual image when facing glory.
So if there is anything that can change Kaka's mind, it must be related to glory.
Sure enough, Osvaldo nodded. "Yes, it's Rong. Although Kaka didn't say it, I can see that he cared about Rong's tightness towards him. I think the reason why he didn't leave was because he didn't want to be ridiculed as a deserter by Rong, right?"
Mauro didn't say anything anymore.
Two people looked at the training ground.
On the training ground, the team was divided into two groups.
A group of simple training with balls next to it.
The other group wore yellow vests and practiced various local cooperation that Osvaldo prepared for the team in the next game on the court. There was no opponent in this training program, and the team would practice movements on the court, and the coach would adjust the players' positions and the running he wanted them to make.
Usually, these eleven are the eleven people who will start in the next game.
And Rongguang is among these eleven people, he is conducting the running training set by the coach very seriously.
After seven months of hard training day and night, Rongguang no longer has to stay away from the entire team during the team training and runs to do basic training. He can conduct various team training with the team.
Kaka is training on the other side.
“Osvaldo.”
"Um?"
"You have to hurry up. No matter which one of these two young men is sitting on the bench, it will be a huge loss for the team." Mauro said.
Osvaldo scratched his head: "I'm already thinking about it, Mauro!"
How to get these two people to play at the same time... It's really a troublesome thing!
Kaka has fast speed, good ball control, good shooting, and comprehensive glory.
But Rongguang himself is faster than Kaka, and his vertical breakthrough ability is better than Kaka. He has a greater deterrence to the enemy's defense line than Kaka.
Do you want them to play two sides, one left and one right?
But on the side...
If Glory cannot pass, Kaka will only pass... This will be a bit wasteful.
Obviously, the most suitable places for both of them are in the middle lane. Only in the middle lane can they fully utilize their characteristics and threats.
But there is only one person in the middle, how can it accommodate two people at the same time?
