The poor performance in three consecutive games did not hit the glory.

But he was a little anxious because Kaka performed well. This made a sharp contrast.

Although the team had a day off after the game, Rongguang still went to Lakeside Park to play special training.

Now all he can do is special training.

He took walnuts and brought them up on the boulevard in the lakeside park.

Although the old god was captured, Rongguang still adhered to the set of rules taught by the old god - once it fails, go back to the starting point and start again.

I started again and again, and when it was dark at night, Glory returned to Godot's house with his tired body.

But as soon as he opened the door, he found that the lights were not on in the room.

Although the lights are not turned on, it does not mean that there is no light in the room.

The light comes from the dining table, and the orange candlelight makes the room look a little warm.

The candle is inserted on a cream cake.

Rongguang was a little confused when he looked at this scene - what's going on?

At this moment, the lights in the house were suddenly brightly lit. Godot jumped out: "Happy birthday, glory!"

Rong Guang mechanically turned his neck and looked at Godo. He found that Godo had a mask on his chubby face, the kind with a black glasses frame, a fake nose and a fake beard, which looked very funny.

He took something out of his hand and put it in his mouth. When he blew hard, a colored bar would stick out, making a very funny sound.

"Happy birthday!" He repeated again.

Rongguang then realized, and he pointed at himself: "My? Birthday?"

Godot smiled: "You are stupid. Today is September 1st, your seventeenth birthday?"

Rongguang patted his forehead: "Oh, I forgot!"

The last birthday glory was spent at his own home, and Godot was by his side at that time.

When he celebrated his birthday, he just added a bowl of noodles with a poached egg, which was already a great treat. It only lasts for his birthday a year.

And now in Brazil, the table is full of hearty meals and a cream cake that I have never eaten before!

Godot still remembers his birthday...

After a day of special training, Glory was exhausted both physically and mentally. Seeing this scene, he was suddenly hit inside.

He lowered his head and rubbed his nose to hide his expression.

"I...I'll go take a shower first!"

After saying that, Rongguang went to the bathroom.

"Go, let's change your clothes and have a meal." Godo patted Rong Guang's shoulder from behind.

※※※

In the bathroom, let warm hot water spray down from the shower, Rong Guang stood in the middle of the water, lowered his head, motionless, letting the water slide down his head, flow down his body, and flowed to his feet, gathering together and flowing to the floor drain.

From following Godot to Brazil where he was unfamiliar with his hometown, he was ready to endure hardships.

Without relatives by your side, life and training here are boring.

At the age of sixteen, he also misses homesome and is weak.

But every time this time, he would think of his family, grandparents and younger brother when he saw him farewell at the entrance of the village.

The grandparents' eyes were more worried and worried, just like the eyes they saw when they sent their father and mother went out to work after the Spring Festival every year.

The younger brother waved his arms excitedly and shouted at him: "Brother, you must make money!!" There was still a bit of envy for himself in his eyes. It seemed that for him, going to the distant Brazil, was just to play.

I am carrying my family's wish to come here, not to travel here.

So he will devote himself to more desperate training.

Compared with a poor life and a future where you cannot see hope, is it a waste of a goal in three games?

As he followed Godot out of the mountain village, he looked back and looked for the last time.

Under the blue-white sky, there is a yellow ridge. There is a crooked tree above the ridge. In summer, the leaves are lush, and the elderly and children like to cool down and play. In winter, only bare branches are left, stretching towards the sky, like the hands of countless pairs.

This is a "landmark" in Rongjiagou Village.

He saw three black spots under the tree, which were his grandparents and younger brother, who were still jumping and waving to him.

Go out from here and don’t make a name for yourself!

Glory made a ruthless oath in his heart.

I thought of the elderly grandparents, young brothers, and sisters and parents who were working hard at home.

Rongguang feels that he has a heavy responsibility.

I am not qualified to fail, and I must not lose the main position I have obtained!

He clenched his fists tightly under the erosion of hot water.

Happy 17th birthday, glory.

Let them see how powerful you are!

On his seventeenth birthday, Rongguang had a cream cake for the first time in his life.

The cream is sweet, the cake is soft, and the fruit is delicious.

He and Godot both had half of them, and they had finished all the not-so-big cakes.

"This is a high-calorie and high-fat thing, Rong." After eating, Godot said with a smile.

Rong Guang shook his head: "Then let these become muscles!"

He really did what he said.

Before the next day's training, Rongguang came to the training base one and a half hours in advance for special training. He also worked very seriously and actively during the training class. At the end of the afternoon training, he practiced for half an hour more than usual.

His crazy spirit made his teammates shudder.

In the locker room, while Glory was still practicing for himself, all the discussions were related to him.

"Is the glory stimulated?"

"Absolutely, Kaka's performance is so good, he is under great pressure..."

"Hey, I have to be as good as Kaka, why bother so much more than myself?"

"It's really worrying about his body..."

The teammates did not deliberately avoid Kaka's discussion, so Kaka heard it all.

Because of the pressure he brought to him?

Kaka's lips curled up - let you also taste the feeling of being chased!

He was glad that his four consecutive goals had such consequences.

He wants to completely throw away the glory!

If Kaka knew that Rongguang was training so hard because of the cream cake... he probably wouldn't be able to laugh.

※※※

Rongguang would not take the initiative to read newspapers or listen to news. But he could see some clues from other people's faces, and he was not stupid.

For example, head coach Osvaldo has not looked very good these days - the article by famous reporter Grayson put a lot of pressure on him.

Grayson's articles have always been reasonable and well-founded. If you agree with his views, you will think what he said is really right and impeccable!

Through Osvaldo's face, Rongguang knew how bad the situation was.

His competitor Kaka scored goals in four consecutive games and scored four goals and assisted once. This performance made him the focus of attention of Sao Paulo State and even Brazil.

And what about yourself?

No goals were scored in three consecutive games...

The situation has reached its most critical moment.

If he didn't come up with some solutions, he didn't know how long Osvaldo could support him.

You cannot count on other people's gifts, the main position is achieved by yourself. From the youth team to the first team, what you can rely on is always your own strength.

But how to solve your current problem?

This kind of thing cannot be solved by shouting a few slogans...

※※※

Every morning, Glory would take an hour and a half to go to Lakeside Park for his own special training. Only after the special training would he return to Godot's house, have breakfast, and then go to Brafonda training base for one day of training.

At the Brafonda training base, before the formal training begins, he will train alone on the training ground. During lunch break, he will train alone on the training ground. After the afternoon training, he will practice for half an hour to an hour.

After finishing training at Brafonda Training Base, he returned to the Lakeside Park for an hour of special training before going home for dinner.
