The Era of Emerald

() "Addition and Completion Plan" Chapter 40

"What? You mean Cristiano Ronaldo?!" Early the next morning, Zhuang Minge heard that Costa was going to visit a "football genius" in a village on the Madeira volcano outside Funchal. Out of curiosity, Zhuang Mingge casually asked the child's name.

The result from Costa's mouth surprised Zhuang Mingge, it was Ronaldo!One of the best players in the future!Zhuang Mingge, who is a fan, immediately said that he would also follow the past to see this "real" Ronaldo, which made his plan to have a good day with Karin in Madeira Island postponed for some reason. For this, Zhuang Mingge also paid a painful price.

"Rui, how far are we from our destination?" Zhuang Mingge, who was sitting in the car, grinned and rubbed the soft flesh on his waist while asking.

"According to the address the lady gave me, it should be here soon."

Madeira Volcano, 1862 meters above sea level, is the highest mountain in Portugal. On its south side, there are many residential buildings that look simple but chic. Most of the residents who settle here are The ultra-poor households with incomes of $2000 or less, and what Costa calls "gifted children," live in the village.

Under the guidance of C Luo's mother, Zhuang Mingge and others got off the car at the entrance of the village, walked through the small roads paved with gravel, and finally arrived at the Zhengtai version of C Luo's residence - a house made of wooden boards. A small yard was marked out with wooden boards.

Gently pushing open the wooden door of the yard, looking around, the yard is full of recycled garbage and plastic bags, and there is also a miniature goal made of scrap iron bars...

"That's right here? Can't... go wrong?"

Although Zhuang Mingge knew about the difficult situation of Ronaldo's family in the previous conversation with Ronaldo's mother, and it's not like he didn't see poorer families when he was in Croatia...but Zhuang Mingge was still shocked by the scene in front of him Arrived, after all, this is not the war-torn Yugoslavia, but the tourist resort Madeira Islands!

"Dinis (Ronaldo's father), I'm back! Is Ronnie (Ronaldo) at home?"

"No, this kid went out to play wild ball with those kids again."

It was a middle-aged uncle who went out to greet each other. After introducing each other, Zhuang Mingge knew that this middle-aged uncle was Ronaldo's father, and the middle-aged uncle who learned about Zhuang Mingge and others' intentions from his wife was even more enthusiastic. Invited everyone into his home.

The living room in the house was not big, and a group of people squeezed into the room, sat down at random and started chatting with each other.

The enthusiastic middle-aged uncle is like a natural tour guide, talking about the beautiful scenery of Madeira Island to the most familiar football.Speaking of his youngest son, Cristiano Ronaldo, he was even more eloquent. The gratification and pride revealed in the father's words deeply infected every audience present.

"This is a sensible child!"

"This is a child full of dreams!"

"This kid named Ronaldo, he knows how to get his family out of poverty and live a happy life..."

In front of the down-to-earth middle-aged uncle, the audience who felt something, deep down in their hearts, gave their own judgments to the child who hadn't met yet.

……

"Dad, I'm back. I scored four more goals in today's game..." During the conversation, a childish voice came to the ears of everyone in the room, and then a child ran a hand-sewn ball Excitedly ran into the house.

Dark face, strong body bones, full of healthy vigor... Although the first impression of seeing Ronaldo was somewhat unexpected, Zhuang Mingge still stepped forward kindly, and patted the little guy with a decent appearance shoulders.

"Hello, Cristiano, I'm Antonio Corleone, the chairman of the Fiorentina club..." Zhuang Mingge patted the surprised young lady in front of him, and then said, "We heard from your parents that you are good at football. You are very talented, so this Mr. Rui Costa specially rushed over from vacation to see your talent in football. If you pass his review, you will get a job from Florence Full funding and a plane ticket to Fiorentina to help realize your footballing dreams."

At this time, Ronaldo, who has not fully recovered from the shock, looked at his father who was also immersed in excitement and joy, and stammered: "You are the chairman of Florence? You just won the winner The Fiorentina who won the Cup and Serie A double?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to know us Florence... Yes, I am the chairman of that Florence club."

"This is Mr. Rui Costa, the core midfielder of the Portuguese national team and Benfica?" Mrs. Xiaozheng pointed to Costa next to Zhuang Mingge, with an unbelievable expression on his face. He never thought that he would "provoke" Here are two people who are simply unattainable for him now.

"Come on, kid, let me see your basic skills." Costa said with a gentle face. He also wanted to see how talented this precocious child was.

"Oh, yes, yes!" C Luo Xiaozheng finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly replied.

Following Ronaldo who hurried out of the house, everyone came to this slightly dilapidated small courtyard together.

"Sir, I usually use this to practice here." Xiao Zhengtai walked to the only large open space in the garden and shouted at Costa.

"No problem, you can start now, and show off your skills."

"Okay, sir!" As he said, Ronaldo began to use the handmade football under his feet to make various technical moves: first, he took turns bouncing the ball with his feet, and then showed head balls, Cruyff's extraordinary, Maradona is amazing...

"How is it, sir?" More than half an hour later, Ronaldo, who was a little physically weak due to playing a wild ball before, stopped showing, picked up the football and ran to Costa, asking expectantly.

"The feel of the ball is very good, and there is a lot of room for development in small skills." Costa looked at Ronaldo with an expression as if he had discovered a piece of undeveloped jade, but his tone was quite severe, but you take it too seriously It's a personal performance. You know, a good offensive player not only has to be gorgeous, but the important thing is that he can send assists or score goals at the most appropriate time. "

Costa's stern tone made Ronaldo bow his head sadly, and Xiao Zhengtai thought that he would definitely not be able to pass the eyes of the main force of the national team...

But at this time Costa suddenly changed the subject: "In general, you are still qualified, boss, I think you can consider letting Cristiano Jr. join the youth training camp of Florence."

Originally, Zhuang Mingge's trip to Portugal was for Rui Costa. Who knew that he would meet his young classmate Ronaldo here. If Zhuang Mingge just let it go like this, he would be punished by God.

"Since Rui, you agree, then I have nothing to object to. You are welcome to join Florence, little Cristiano."
