Chapter 156: The Meaning of Champions (1500)

After Glory finished his training, he asked Godot to drive him to Fabiano's house.

Fabiano's home is in an upscale residential complex in Brazil.

Of course, it's still far from the "mansions" of the rich who take helicopters to and from work, but it's also much better than where Rongguang lives now.

There are guards patrolling the entrance of the community, and those guards are all armed with guns, and all of them have bad expressions, looking at people as if they are looking at suspects.

It seems that if you don't agree with each other, you will pull out your gun and shoot.

Seeing their car approaching, he raised his hand to pull over and be inspected.

"Tsk, that's how troublesome the rich area is......" Godot obediently pulled over and turned off the door as he said it. At the same time, he motioned for Rongguang to get out of the car as well.

Originally, Godot thought that he would face a very strict inspection, because he had been in the rich area before.

But when the glory came down, things changed.

The guard who walked in saw the glory and was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became enthusiastic, and he turned back and beckoned to his companions: "Hey, guys! Look who this is?! Glory! ”

When Rongguang heard his name called out by the guard in front of him, he was very surprised.

But even more astonishing was to come, as soon as the other guards heard his name, as if someone had cast a spell, they rushed over and surrounded Glory.

"What a bonus! That's right! ”

"Although the Chinese are all the same in my eyes, I still remember Rong very clearly!"

Then one of the guards took out a small notebook from his pocket and handed it to Rongguang: "Sign it for me, Rong!" ”

Another guard deftly pulled out his camera and pointed it at Glory.

Glory was frightened by this formation.

"Uh, that's ......"

"We're your fans! I watched last night's game and you and Kaka were awesome! If it weren't for you, São Paulo wouldn't have won the championship! ”

The guard who asked for Glory's autograph said excitedly.

※※※

Godot was still laughing as he drove his car and glory through the stacks of detached villas.

"I really didn't expect it, Rong, your fame also has benefits in this regard."

Because of the glory, Godot was not only not inspected, but was also allowed to drive into the neighborhood – otherwise they would have abandoned their cars here and walked into the huge neighborhood......

Glory hey hey straight music.

This isn't the first time he's been surrounded to sign autographs and take a group photo.

But this is the first time he has enjoyed the benefits of fame - celebrities, and he can enjoy some privileges.

He finally understood why so many people wanted to become famous. In addition to money, I'm afraid there are also considerations in this regard.

He turned his head to look at the surroundings of the neighborhood.

It's really hard to imagine in this a residential area.

In Rongguang's view, this could be a small town.

But the town is cut off from the outside world by a high-walled barbed wire fence with high-voltage electricity – just looking at the gate makes Rongguang think it's a prison.

But when he came in, all he could do was amazement.

The streets are clean and wide, and they are the kind of roads where four cars can drive side by side. It's not the narrow community roads that Rongguang imagined.

Every vegetation along the roadside looks like it has been carefully manicured and cared for, vibrant and colorful.

The most eye-catching thing is the villas with different shapes, but they are all spacious and bright. Rongguang has never seen a one-story building, and the shortest is a two-story building.

Each home has two yards, one front and one backyard. There is no love between houses, but a distance ranging from more than ten meters to tens of meters.

It is completely different from the houses in the block where Godot's apartment is located, where all the buildings are close together, densely packed like pigeon cages. But even so, it is a house in good condition in São Paulo.

What does a house in poor condition look like?

Slums with no water, electricity, sewers and no house numbers.

The villas were perched on balconies, looking at the dilapidated car with strange eyes, as if no one had ever seen such a rotten car in the neighborhood – and no one could afford to buy a house here.

Along the way, Rongguang also saw a medium-sized commercial center, as well as schools and churches, a police station, a fire station, two different banks, and a park......

It's just a separate town!

The glory is an eye-opener.

How can a community be built like this......

What he doesn't know is that in São Paulo, many of these high-end residential complexes are like this, with all kinds of supporting facilities.

Because the gap between rich and poor in São Paulo is very large, the high Gini index in this place is scary. So there are a lot of crimes against the rich. The rich have to do this for their own safety. In addition to flying to and from work, they rarely go to the public commercial centers in the city to shop, because they are too unsafe and can be kidnapped at any time.

Therefore, the design concept of the rich area is that even if a wealthy family can enjoy all the supporting facilities and services in the community.

It is no exaggeration to say that a wealthy family can live in this community, from birth to death, without leaving the gate of the community for the rest of their lives. Because there is everything in the community. What Glory sees is just the tip of the iceberg.

There are specialized hospitals for medical and health care, and education is available from kindergartens to private high schools, and both the teaching conditions and the quality of education must be completely destroyed by those public schools outside. For exercise, there are stadiums, football pitches and golf courses. There are supermarkets and shopping malls to shop......

"Here...... It's an exaggeration......" Rongguang said dumbfounded, looking at the street scene outside.

Godot smiled, "Wait until you become a big star, Rong." You can also buy a house here. But it's not necessary. ”

"For what?" Glory is strange.

"Because our goal is not Europe? If you want to buy a house, you have to go to Europe to buy it, and the security there is much better than here. To be honest, as much as I would love to be rich, I don't want to live this life of being locked up. Godot shook his head.

Godot also has dreams about making money.

When he makes enough money, he will definitely leave here with his daughter, even though this is his hometown.

But here he has no sense of security. How his wife left him, he still can't forget.

His daughter inherited his wife's appearance, which made him very nervous, he cared about his daughter very much, and he didn't want anything to happen to his daughter. But in Brazil...... He couldn't put his mind at ease.

For the sake of his daughter, he also had to work hard to earn money, and then the family went to settle in Europe. He can develop his horizons in Brazil, but his home is in Europe. His daughter can also live a safe, stable and prosperous life in Europe.

To realize this wish, it is natural to count on the outstanding performance of Glory.

Glory nodded, "You're right, Godot. I don't like this kind of life either. ”

※※※

Neither Glory nor Godot had ever been to Fabiano's house, but that didn't mean they didn't know what to do.

When the guards knew that Glory had come to Fabiano, they were eager to show them the way.

So they found Fabiano's home so easily.

Parking the car on the side of the road at Fabiano's house, Rongguang noticed that there was also a luxury car parked there, although the brand Rongguang didn't recognize, but it looked much more high-end than Godot's car.

But this is not Fabiano's car.

It seems that besides himself, there are other people who have come to Fabiano.

At the door, Fabiano gave a warm welcome to Glory and his agent, Godot.

Fabiano was not surprised by their arrival because they had called before they came.

"What a coincidence, did you discuss it?" Fabiano said as he led the two men to the courtyard behind the house.

"We? And with whom? Glory thought of the luxury car he was looking at at the door.

"Who else could it be?" As he spoke, Fabiano walked out of the house with glory and into the backyard.

In the bright sunshine, Rongguang saw a familiar figure sitting on a chair basking in the sun in the courtyard surrounded by green.

The sun shone on him, as if it had coated him with a layer of light.

He was stunned for a moment.

"Kakabei."

Fabiano smiled and said to Kaka: "It's really worthy of being a partner who has a tacit understanding on the court, Kaka, did the two of you really not make an appointment in advance?" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the glory beside him.

Kaka turned his head and was stunned when he saw the glory.

※※※

"Why are you here?" Sitting on a chair in the courtyard, Rongguang glared at Kaka, who was sitting next to him, and said in a very unfriendly tone.

"Why can't I be here?" Kaka replied lightly.

Fabiano looked at both of them with interest.

"See what?" Glory turned to glare at him.

"I think...... Something interesting must have happened to you during my absence. Fabiano said with a smile.

His words embarrassed both Rongguang and Kaka.

So Glory quickly changed the subject: "I said, I'm going to bring the champion to see you, Luis." ”

With that, he took out the championship gold medal from his trouser pocket and put it on the table.

Kaka glanced at the gold medal, and his eyes wandered back and forth between Rongguang and Fabiano, and finally fixed on Fabiano's face.

As if asking: Do you two still have such a strange agreement?

Fabiano noticed Kaka's eyes, and he explained with a smile: "When I was just in the hospital, after playing Santos, Rong came to the hospital to see me. Then he asked me if I could make it to the final, and I said no, and he said he was going to take the championship to see me. ”

With that, he picked up the gold medal on the table.

The gold medal side is a man playing soccer with a national map of Brazil in the background. On the other side is the Brazilian National Championship trophy, with a circle of text on the periphery.

"2002 Brazilian National Football Championship Champion São Paulo FC"

"That's beautiful...... Fabiano picked up the gold medal and looked at it in the sun.

The medals shimmer in the sunlight with a charming golden glow.

Neither Rongguang nor Kaka spoke, just looked at Fabiano quietly.

Gold itself is beautiful, but for professional players, it's not gold that's beautiful, it's not these glittering lights.

If the winner's medal is made of stainless steel, it will also be very attractive.

Because the charm is not the material, not the shape, not the pattern engraved on it, but the meaning contained in this small medal - the champion.

And in order to get this championship, there is a big price to pay, and those costs make the gold medal seem heavy.

There is not only glory on it, but also sweat and tears, joy and frustration, vanity and fearless sacrifice. Everyone has done everything and put all their efforts into this small medal, but they may not be able to kiss each other.

That's what a championship is all about.

The medals are small, but they are significant.

Fabiano flipped the gold medal in the sun, and the gold medal shimmered.

Kaka and Glory, who scored goals for the team, and Fabiano, who helped the team reach the knockout round, but left injured in the first game.
