Chapter 57
"This method is good! Practicing skills is for actual combat, not for putting on airs."

"You can't learn from Giovanni. You are invincible during training, but you will be soft-legged shrimp on the court!"

Regarding Ronando's thoughts, Simao and Nuno Gomez thought about it for a while, and they understood that other players practiced from a young age. Time, he must "crash", and he must use it in the competition after learning it, otherwise, not only Ronando himself can't afford it, but Simao can't afford it either!

If Ronaldo needs to wait a year and a half to adapt to the rhythm of the Portuguese Super League, it is estimated that Simao and Nuno Gomez will turn around and leave.

It may be okay to be friends, but to be partners, it’s free!
Fernandez and Ze Roy are both skilled and physical defensive players. Ronando's sparring with them is basically the same as playing a game.

A few people stopped talking nonsense and started practicing immediately.

This kind of training is not only of great benefit to Ronando, but also to Fernandez and Ze Roy. so closely united.

Under the yelling of Simao and Nuno Gomez, the sweat of the three young players was dripping, and every minute passed...

Benfica coach Trapattoni is of course secretly pleased with the hard work of several people.

As Benfica's temporary firefighter, Trapattoni doesn't need to consider whether the close relationship between the team's captain and vice-captain will affect his own prestige in the team. All he cares about is whether he can lead Benfica to achieve results.

As a famous coach with qualifications, Trapattoni will never serve in Benfica for a long time. After proving that he is still a good coach, his goal is a certain national team, or a real team. wealthy.

In order to prove his ability, Trapattoni must complete at least one of the two goals.

The first is the league championship. The Benfica team has not won this honor for 10 consecutive years. If Trapattoni completes it, it means that he is very strong.

The second goal is longer!It is also more difficult to achieve -

Champions of Europe!

Benfica's European performance in history ranks first among Portuguese teams. However, they also have an unbearable past.

"Gutman Curse"!
Bella Gutman, a famous Hungarian coach, has a great position in the history of world football. At that time, the 1958-4-2 formation used by the Samba Army to win the World Cup in 4 was invented by him. In 1961 and 1962 , Bella Gutman led Benfica to defeat Barcelona and Real Madrid one after another, winning the Champions League, defeating the dream of the extremely powerful Real Madrid monopolizing the Champions League at the time.

Especially in the 1962 session, the Benfica club became old-fashioned. In order to make money, they sold most of the players in the previous year's championship lineup, leaving only a few main players such as Eusebio. Under such circumstances, Bella Gutman gritted her teeth and successfully defended her title, which has to be said to be a miracle.

After successfully defending the title, an angry Bella Gutman asked the Benfica board for a salary increase. As a result, the stingy Benfica board refused.

In a rage, Bella Gutman resigned. Before leaving, he left a vicious curse——

"From now on, Benfica will not win the European Championship in 100 years!"

At that time, people just laughed at Benfica's stinginess and didn't take this curse seriously. However, soon, Bella Gutman's curse began to have an effect!

Panther Eusebio was an invincible hero of that era. He led the team to the Champions League final three times in 1963, 1965, and 1968, but without exception, Benfica failed!Not only did they fail in the 60s, but in the 80s, Benfica rose again, reaching the Europa League final once and the Champions League final twice, all failed!No more European Championships!
In a flash, 43 years have passed, and the honor room of the Portuguese Red Eagle Benfica, the European championship trophy, is still only the two in 1961 and 1962.

This is the "Gutman Curse"!
Every time Benfica encounters an important game in the European League, the club's top management will go to Bella Gutman's grave to apologize.

On the eve of Benfica's most recent Champions League final in 1990, Eusebio even went to Bella Guttman's grave in person to confess to the Hungarian, begging Bella Gutman to take back the curse, but it still didn't work. Benfica still lost.

The reason why Trapattoni chose to coach Benfica is also because of this curse that is well-known in Europe. If he can successfully win the Europa League, he will be a legend!

This season, after the last round of the league, Benfica finally ranked first in the league standings. At the same time, they also broke through the group stage in the Europa League. Victory seems to be beckoning to him, although Benfica does not have a lot of money to spend signings, but he was lucky enough to get an excellent young striker.

"This is fate! Benfica's nightmare of 43 years will disappear at my fingertips!"

"The Europa League, that is also the European champion. Today's Benfica is not competitive in the Champions League, but in the Europa League, they can still compete!"

"However, this young man named Ronaldo should still endure it. Young people are too impulsive and can cause trouble... It is really remarkable for a player who was born as a cook to do this. But! It's like doing a Good food on the table, others are just ingredients, I am the one who is in charge! I am the invisible hand that can only manipulate the game!"

After a tiring day, when Ronando returned to the dormitory tiredly, he accidentally took out the Nokia 7200, and was surprised to find that there were a series of missed calls and three text messages. What kind of friend, few people call him so much, and those who can call him know his training time, and will not be bored enough to call him continuously.

He clicked on the three unread text messages first.

Carolina: "Big idiot! You killed me! Because you did shameless things, that show failed the review! You want compensation!" Followed by an angry emoji.

Solea Chavez: "Hello, school dance weekend. Your game is at home, Saturday. Can you come?"

Yang Xiaotong: "Ronando, take care of your health and drink less." There is a smiling face behind.

Ronando couldn't help laughing. Seeing these text messages, it seemed as if he could see several different pictures. The big girl Carolina had a very unhappy expression. Maybe the next moment would be a sneak attack or a kick. Leia Chavez is passionate, you can see in her eyes, this Portuguese girl likes him very much, Yang Xiaotong...

Sichuan girls are so beautiful. If Ronando was still a student in that small county, he would scream "goddess" when he saw such a girl, and then walk away.

Ronando has no resistance to girls with big eyes and a little bit of baby fat, but a beauty like Yang Xiaotong is not on the same plane as him. He is only limited to eye addiction. He is just an ordinary boy with no future who was raised by his grandfather , It's not rich and handsome, it's boring to be too self-aware.

"What are you thinking? Do you really think that you are already a star and any girl will fall in your arms?"

Ronando couldn't help despising himself, young people are prone to restlessness, and Ronaldo's body is a beast with excess hormones, which makes him who rarely has female friends can't help but have some reverie.

Back to Yang Xiaotong: "Thank you." It was a very simple word, and Ronan thought about it, and then sent it out.

Replying to Solea Chavez: "Shouldn't be, the manager is throwing a fit. I'm sorry."

Back to Carolina: "Meat!" I pressed the send button hard!
Ronando's mood became better after sending out these two words.

A yellow-haired girl, dare to be so arrogant, dare to fight with a strong man?

Even if he was drinking and getting drunk in the University City of Lisbon, it was understandable. Who wouldn't be in a bad mood? After all, Ronando didn't want to be in such trouble. How could this be "shameless"?This 15-year-old Portuguese girl is too headstrong!

Ronando looked at the missed calls again. In addition to the calls of the three girls, there was another call from the agent Mendez, and he quickly called back.

"Jorge, what's wrong?"

"Well, let me comfort you. Don't be too impatient. This kind of thing will pass quickly. The most important thing for a player is his performance on the court. However, before you become a real star, it is best not to have too many scandals. In addition, if you need to have a regular girlfriend, I suggest you find a star in the entertainment industry, I hope you become the Beckham Spice Girls in Portugal, you have this condition."

"Uh... I didn't actually do anything, Jorge, please believe me."

"Haha! Dear Ronaldo, I don't have any interest in your private life. The key is how the fans see it. If you are a star, it is an affair, but if you are not, it is a disgusting depravity, I hope you can understand at this point."

Ronando nodded, Mendez's opinion is very accurate, he is an old expert.

"Jorge, I will try. Simão and Gomez said that the U21 coach Oliveira will come to see my game recently, maybe I have the opportunity to join the Portuguese U21 team."

"Oh! This is the best news of the day! You are only 17 years old! Great, if you score goals in the U21 team, we have a lot of things to do! Work hard, Ronaldo, I can already see success coming to us Beckon, you will be the second Quaresma!"

……

Putting down the phone, Ronando suddenly became angry, the second Ricardo Quaresma?
You underestimated me too much!
Although Ricardo Quaresma is known as the most outstanding figure of Portugal's young generation and the captain of the Portugal U21 team, in Ronando's eyes, he is far from successful!

Born in September 1983, he is now 9 and a half years old. He entered Akchite at the age of 21, entered the first team of Sporting Lisbon at the age of 8, and was called the head of the Portuguese four little swans. In 18, Ricardo was 2000 years old · Quaresma led the Portuguese U17 team to win the European U16 Championship that year, which earned him the title of Figo's successor.

In the summer of 2003, at the age of 20, he moved to Barcelona for 635 million euros, which caused a sensation in Portugal at the time.

However, a year later, after a lackluster performance at Barcelona, ​​he was used as a tool in exchange for other players. Barcelona used him and cash to bring in Porto's Portuguese midfielder Deco and Ricardo Quaresma. He had no choice but to return home in despair, and this time he was forced to go to Porto.

"I will definitely not be as virtuous as Quaresma, my brother's future is the number one player in Portugal, just a Quaresma, huh!"
