"Do you want to be stronger?"

The old man asked, looking at Lucas.

Lucas was stunned by the question.

Getting stronger?

Who doesn't want to be stronger?

I never dreamed of getting stronger!

You think I want to play as a substitute?

Do you think I don't want to squeeze the damn Kleber to the bench?

If only I could...... I've done it a long time ago!

But I can't!

As a striker, he has no speed or body, and as a Brazilian player, his skills at his feet can only be regarded as average.

Why am I better than others?

Before Cainiao Rong, the sense of superiority that I could maintain at the beginning has long been shattered now......

In Rongguang, he saw that there was really a genius in this world. They can start long after you, but when you're struggling down the road, they can easily overtake you and throw you out of sight in the blink of an eye.

The efforts of mortals are simply not worth mentioning in front of the genius gate.

"Do you want to be stronger?" The old man asked again.

"I ......," Lucas didn't know what he was talking about, his lips trembling and he opened and made a sound.

"Do you want to be stronger?" The old man asked.

"Yes! I want to be strong! I want to be stronger! Lucas finally couldn't stand the old man's repeated questioning, and yelled loudly.

Glory looked at Lucas in surprise.

He had never seen Lucas like this, and in his mind, Lucas had always been a bit cynical and couldn't do anything. When he was in the youth team, he saw that Lucas was not active in training, he was not very proactive, and he was lazy when he could.

When you're emotional? Not at all.

Lucas didn't seem to be interested in anything...... Oh no, he's interested in women. But he has no money and no fame, and it's not easy to make girls like him......

"But how can I be stronger? Don't tease me with the trick of Ron, I tell you, I'm not that easy to deceive! ”

The old man smiled and asked, "Do you have asthma?" ”

Lucas shook his head and spread his hands disdainfully: "I don't have it, but what does this have to do with becoming stronger?" ”

The old man looked at Rongguang, and Rongguang also shook his head: "Me don't either, old fairy." ”

The old man looked at Lucas again: "Okay, you go to the sea." ”

Lucas didn't understand the point of the old liar asking him to do this, but he wanted to see what medicine the old liar was selling in his gourd, so he obediently turned and walked out into the sea.

He walked past the people enjoying the sun on the beach and into the sea.

When the water almost reached his waist, the old man did not let him stop. He felt like an idiot now...... Must have been tricked by an old liar!

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to trouble the old liar, he heard the old liar's words: "Keep going." ”

So he went on his way.

He now thinks he's crazy enough to listen to that old liar......

"Forward, forward, a little further." The words of the old liar kept coming behind him.

He kept walking, and the sea gradually flooded his shoulders.

At this time, the tourists who were playing in the surrounding water noticed Lucas, and they looked at him in amazement.

If Lucas were like them, it would be wrong to do so, because no one would walk into the sea so straight, and it would be suicidal!

Some women exclaimed, and more stopped their own business and got up to look at Lucas. There are also enthusiastic people who are already running to Lucas.

The old liar is still saying: "A little farther, a little farther away......"

When the sea water had reached Lucas's mouth, he raised his head to keep it from entering his mouth.

That's enough!

I'm stupid to listen to that old liar!

Well, I'll admit that he's been able to lie to me for so long, but now I'm going to settle accounts with him!

It was at this time that he heard the old liar say, "All right, you can come back." ”

Lucas turned around almost at the same time, and he walked towards the old fairy with an unkind face, even though he was an old man, he had to teach him a good lesson! Who told him to play himself like an idiot?

Those who had rushed to help Lucas stopped strangely when they saw Lucas walking back again.

I don't know which one this is singing......

Walking to the chest of the sea, Lucas also walked in front of the old liar.

He was about to open his mouth to question, but he heard the old liar say first: "Do you really want to be stronger?" ”

"Huh?" Before Lucas could react, he saw the old crook put his hand on his head, and then his head fell uncontrollably and leaned forward - he was pressed into the water by the old fairy!

The frightened Lucas couldn't react and swallowed a large mouthful of seawater. Then he was jerked up again by the old liar.

As soon as I took a breath of air, I was pressed down again!

"...... Gurgling ......"

"Poof! What are you doing...... Gurgling ......"

He couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Rongguang looked stupid on the side, let alone others.

Some people think that there is some conflict here, and they have to call the police.

After four times in a row, the old crook lifted him up and stopped pressing down.

Lucas drank a stomach full of salty seawater, and finally could breathe, and he inhaled as hard as he could, letting the air into his lungs.

Then he gasped and scolded the old man: "Are you crazy?!" You murderer! ”

"How does it feel?" The old man asked slowly, as if he hadn't seen his expression at all.

"You still ask me how I feel? I'm out of breath! Lucas waved his arms as if he were going to beat an old liar.

"That's right." The old man's words made him stunned.

"By the way? Yes, yes, right? ”

"Remember the feeling you were struggling and trying to breathe, boy. You say you want to be strong? But you don't actually think about it, you just think about it a little. Your desire to be stronger is not as good as your desire to be strong, not as good as your desire to be handsome, not as good as your desire to pick up girls, or even your desire to sleep in. You become strong when your desire to be strong is comparable to your desire to breathe. ”

After saying that, the old man turned around and waded away.

Hearing the old man's words, Lucas froze in place, letting the sea wash over his body, and he stood in the sea in a daze.

Rongguang wanted to go up and enlighten Lucas, but he heard the old fairy humming behind him: "Come back with me, massage!" ”

Rongguang turned his head to look at Lucas, and finally followed the old fairy away.

Lucas stood alone in the sea and fell into deep thought.

Do I want to be stronger?

Do I really, really want to be stronger?

Or am I just complacent with the status quo and have found a reason for not being talented? So that I don't have to put in all that hard work and sweat to become stronger......

He thought of when he saw Rongguang covered in scars in the cafeteria of the training base and asked him in surprise what was going on, and Rongguang told him that it was "special training". He didn't believe it at first.

He thought about yesterday and today when he saw Glory doing more training on the beach than he had imagined, and told him that this was also "special training".

I remembered his tree-ring-like shorts......

The hard work, the sweat he put in...... Is it comparable to yourself? Then why do you think that glory is faster than your own progress, and it is a talent to be stronger than yourself?

He seems to have only focused on Rongguang's super learning ability and speed talent, completely ignoring Rongguang's efforts to achieve this.

Can a genius, without hard work, go from being a layman to a key gentleman in São Paulo in four months?

Although he was reluctant to admit it, Lucas could not stop himself from agreeing with the old liar.

His own desire to be stronger is nothing compared to going to a party and looking around on the beach to talk to beautiful women...... He still felt in his heart that Rong Guang was crazy for so desperate.

But without this madness, how could a rookie who has only been learning football for four months succeed?

I really can't get strong enough.

But do I really not want to be stronger?

Who doesn't want to be stronger? Who wouldn't want to be a successful professional footballer?

I think!

I really want to!

It's like you want to breathe!

There were good Samaritans who saw that Lucas was still standing chest-high in the sea, but fortunately the wind and waves were slow today, otherwise he would have been knocked over in the sea.

So he came up and wanted to care about him: "Young man, do you need help?" ”

Lucas, however, did not seem to see him, and suddenly moved, and he raised his feet and walked towards the shore.

The well-wishers who were left surprised didn't understand what happened to this person, and what kind of song was he singing just now......

※※※

Glory didn't see Lucas again, maybe he had gone back, maybe he was still looking for a beautiful woman to talk to on the beach, but he was far away from the area he was.

He didn't have much time to care about Lucas. Because the special training every day is still going on, every day I am warmed up by carrying the old fairy on my back once in the morning and afternoon, and kicking walnuts for ten kilometers in the morning and afternoon.

These two trainings alone were enough for him to be exhausted every day, and he really didn't have much other energy to care about Lucas.

He can only hope that Lucas does not take a hit.

He himself had to work so hard, because he had eight years less than others, especially Kaka, and he had to catch up. Lucas doesn't necessarily have to do that, he, like Kaka, has been training in football since he was very young......

Rico is at home helping his mother guard the grocery store, which is the family's main source of income. Before he became a true professional footballer, he and his parents, as well as a grandmother, and three younger brothers and two younger sisters, relied on this grocery store. Like other ordinary poor Brazilians, they live in a very tight life. The whole family is counting on him to be able to achieve something on the football field, and as long as he makes money alone, then the whole family can live a good life.

The door of the sunny store suddenly darkened, and he reflexively thought that the customer was coming, and hurriedly greeted: "What do you want...... Hey? ”

Looking up, he saw Lucas Sutton holding a football.

"Lucas?"

"Rico, practice with me!" Lucas tossed the football to Rico and turned to walk out.

Rico caught the ball in a hurry and chased after him: "But I want to see the ...... store"

"Practice right at your door!" Lucas said as he walked.

Listening to Lucas's categorical and firm voice, Rico was frightened: "Are you crazy, Lucas? You've never been like this before! ”

Lucas stopped abruptly and turned to look at Rico.

"Do you want to be stronger, Rico?"

"Who doesn't want to be stronger?" Rico stretched out his hand and asked inexplicably.

"How much do you want?"

"Uh...... I really want to think about it. Rico didn't know how to answer, so he had to prevaricate casually.

"Can you want to be stronger like you want to breathe?"

Hearing this, Rico was stunned.
