Dong Fangzhuo finally pushed open the door of the locker room and walked in.

In the dressing room, Ronaldo sat on the bench in his dressing room, with his clean and smooth spare red No. 7 shirt behind him.

On weekdays, as long as he sits in this position, he always likes to carefully organize his equipment, especially his battle uniform. He liked the number 7 very much, and I heard him say that it was because he was influenced by Portugal's No. 1 star Figo, and he longed to wear the number 7 shirt since he was a child. After coming to Manchester United, Ferguson also left him the numbers that Best, Cantona and Beckham had crossed.

That's why he cherishes it and tidies up in the dressing room before and after every game.

But today, all he had left was a whispered cry, his red face full of tears of sadness, the loss of his father, and everything seemed meaningless.

Dong Fangzhuo walked over without saying a word, and then sat down as well, and behind him was his No. 9 shirt.

His right hand was on his shoulder, and he didn't say anything, didn't know what to say to comfort, and just sat quietly.

Some people say that companionship is the most affectionate confession, and that is for love.

In fact, friendship is not.

I don't know how long it took, Ronaldo blew his nose and suddenly said:

"When I was a kid, I played for Andrea, a small club in my hometown, and my dad was the support guy for the team, and he would watch me train and play every day, have lunch with me and give me a lot of advice. ’

'One time before playing against a strong team, I ran back home and I didn't want to play because I knew the result of the game, maybe 0-15.

"When my father found out that I was not in the dressing room, he immediately rushed home and told me that only the weak would give up. I went back to the pitch and was still unexpectedly defeated, but from then on, I learned what it means to be responsible. ”

"He was an alcoholic, and after work, he liked to drink, and he had a big problem drinking, and I knew that something would happen one day, but I couldn't stop it, so I tried to take him to England for treatment, but it didn't work. I didn't expect this day to come so early. ”

"I promised him that one day, I would be the best player in the world."

"But,"

"Whew-"

Ronaldo finally couldn't help crying again, threw his head sideways into Dong Fangzhuo's arms, and hugged Dong Fangzhuo tightly.

Tears flowed down his cheeks and onto Dong Fangzhuo's neck.

"Woo-"

"Before I could do it, he was gone......"

Alas.

Dong Fangzhuo took a heavy breath......

Although he still can't appreciate the existence of his father, what a powerful concept it is, he suddenly misses his mother very much.

What would I do if I lost my mother one day?

Cherish the moment, cherish every relative and friend around you.

He gently rubbed Ronaldo's back and comforted:

"Ronaldo."

"Everything will be fine."

"I'm sure you can do it and become the best player in the world."

"One year doesn't work, we use two years, two years can't work, we use five years, five years doesn't work, we use ten years."

"Hmm!"

Ronaldo let go of the hand holding Dong Fangzhuo's shoulder, as if he wanted to turn grief into strength, but how could such a heavy blow be relieved for a while.

The lord gave Ronaldo a holiday, there is no deadline for the holiday, when he feels that he can return to the team, then when to return.

Midweek is Manchester United's first Champions League game of the season, away to Villarreal, and Ronaldo is sure not to go to Spain with the team.

In the office, Dong Fangzhuo stood in front of the lord.

"Boss, I want to attend Cristiano's father's funeral and I'll be there in Villarreal on Tuesday night and keep training."

"I hope you approve of it."

Ferguson's complicated gaze stayed on Dong Fangzhuo's body for a long time.

Dong Fangzhuo is really not professional at all, playing Villarreal away is a tough battle, he has to be with the team.

But......

"Yes, we have to get there on Tuesday."

Ferguson was soft-hearted.

That is, Dong Fangzhuo, who is strict with himself and trains hard, made him soften his heart.

"Thank you."

Watching Dong Fangzhuo leave, the lord muttered.

"I hope your great friendship can support the future of Manchester United, and Manchester United are proud to have you."

Beautiful Madeira,

Today I bid farewell to a simple resident.

"How sweet is amazing grace, my sins have been forgiven! I was lost, but now I am found, and now I see blindness. ”

"Such grace makes me fearful, and comforts my heart; How precious is the favor I received at the beginning of my faith! ”

Amazing grace's funeral music sounded slowly, and the priest stood in front of the coffin, telling the ordinary life of Ronaldo's father.

"Almighty God Father, you are the source of life, you have saved us through My Son Jesus, look to Dinis Aveiro and receive him in eternal light. He believes that your Son died and rose again; ”

"May he share the blessings of your Son in the resurrection. This is for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Son and who is God, and you and the Holy Spirit, eternal life and eternal King. ”

“……”

In the clean morning, Ronaldo held flowers in his hand and finally bid farewell to his father.

His siblings were still crying quietly.

Cristiano Ronaldo hugged his mother, and from the moment he looked up, he had already regained his strength.

"Man,"

"Thank you."

"Fans and friends, welcome to the first round of the 2005-2006 Champions League group stage D Villarreal vs Manchester United, I am Huang Jianxiang."

"In this game, Manchester United lacked a major general, captain Gary Neville was out injured, and the main right winger Ronaldo did not come to Spain with the team because he had just lost his father, so it can be said that the right side of Manchester United is gone. They will be replaced by Brown and Fletcher, while Keane will return to the middle to partner Paul Scholes, and United are likely to revert to a 442 formation. ”

"Dong Fangzhuo attended the funeral of Cristiano Ronaldo's father the day before yesterday and came to Villarreal yesterday, as the sharpest knife in Manchester United's forward line, he will definitely start, and Rooney will form a strike partner with him."

'It's a big game for Manchester United and to be top of the group, they need to get at least a draw here.'

"Before the game, Forlan, the winner of last season's European Golden Boot, welcomed Manchester United and Ferguson, but he said that Dong Fangzhuo still has not reached the world's top level, and he will not get any opportunities in the game, not enough Forlan believes that under the tutelage of the lord, Dong Fangzhuo will definitely be able to become a great striker."
