The day after tomorrow is August 10, the first round of the Brazilian National Championship.

Although it was not the last training session before and after the game, every player gave their best in training.

Because they know very well that after this training, the eighteen-man squad for the first round of the national championship will be announced.

Although everyone's state and training performance have been reflected in the training camp and warm-up matches for more than a month, and the head coach knows it at this time, everyone still hopes to seize this most difficult opportunity to perform well.

Especially those players who feel that their position is not safe, they are even more desperate, hoping to win the trust of the head coach and catch the last train.

When the training was over, Kaka was on his knees with his hands, bent over and panting, looking tired.

"You don't have to work so hard, Kaka." Reinaldo saw Kaka and patted him on the back and said to him. "If you can't make the list, there will be a problem in this world, right?" He also made a joke that wasn't funny.

Kaka shook his head and didn't answer him.

How did Reinaldo know that his goal was not an 18-man squad, but a starting one?

He returned to the team on the 12th to start training.

It's been almost exactly a month now. In this month's time, he had a very heavy sense of crisis.

He always felt that if he didn't work hard, maybe he wouldn't even be able to start the game......

It stands to reason that he is an international player who has participated in the World Cup, he is the core of this team, and he should not have such worries. In São Paulo, there is simply no one to threaten his position.

But that's what he thinks, especially after seeing Glory's performance in training.

In terms of strength, that kid is naturally not comparable to his own. Kaka has this confidence.

But why do you think this kid can pose a great threat to him?

For this reason, he trained desperately.

Every day, I dare not relax my requirements for myself.

Although head coach Osvaldo Oliveira and assistant coach Mauro have advised him to pay attention to rest and not to work so hard.

But Kaka didn't listen at all, in his heart, there was a sense of crisis, he felt that behind him, it seemed that a tiger was chasing him, and if he ran slower, he would be caught up and eaten.

Kaka was surprised by this feeling.

Just a few months ago, it was a beginner who didn't pay attention to himself, how can he now make himself feel threatened?

Especially in the past two months, after I came back from participating in the World Cup, I found that Rongguang's progress had become greater.

There is a feeling of being completely unrecognizable.

He originally thought that he had experienced the highest stage in world football, and his level of knowledge had increased greatly.

Who knew that when Lu Dao came back, he saw that the progress of Glory was greater than his!

In the month that I went to participate in the World Cup, what happened to the Chinese rookie?

Kakabai was puzzled.

After training, head coach Osvaldo announced the eighteen-man squad for the game against Botafogo.

As expected, Kaka is inside, and of course, the glory is there.

Reinaldo also stretched out his hand at Kaka: Look at you so hard, aren't you still in the squad? What are you worried about?

Kaka didn't look at him, but instead set his eyes on the glory behind him.

After announcing the eighteen-man roster, Osvaldo did not immediately announce the disbandment, but said: "Kaka, you stay for a while." ”

Everyone turned to look at Kaka, but they didn't pay much attention to it, and soon they turned their gaze back.

After a World Cup, Kaka seems to be the core of the team, and there is even a tendency to replace Ricardinho, and before the first game, it is normal for the manager to leave him alone to explain something......

But then Osvaldo pointed to glory. "Oh, Rong, and you, you can stay for a while."

These people's eyes become complicated.

Kaka stayed because he was the heart of the team, and it was normal to say a few words before the game.

What does it mean to let the glory remain?

What is there to explain to a substitute?

This time, Kaka also turned his head to look at Glory.

He seemed to have a premonition from the manager's unusual move......

※※※

Although Osvaldo called two people, he had no intention of letting them go in at the same time to talk to him.

He called Kaka into his office first, and Glory waited outside.

"It must be tiring to participate in a World Cup in Asia, right?" Osvaldo didn't get straight to the point, but started chatting with Kaka first.

Kaka hurriedly shook his head: "No, I'm not tired, sir!" ”

He sniffed out something bad from the opening statement, and in order to avoid things going in the direction of that bad one, he had to go against the manager's intentions.

But does the manager mean that it is so easy to reverse?

Osvaldo smiled slightly, "Don't be reckless, Kaka. We have scientific physical test results, and we have conclusions about your physical condition. Both Mauro and I have reminded you more than once in training to tell you to take a break. But you always seem to be in a hurry. I don't know what could make you so impatient......"

When Kaka heard this, his face became a little unnatural.

He can't tell the manager that he's actually worried that the glory will overtake him, right?

"Since you don't want to rest yourself, then I can only force you to rest. So Kaka, the day after tomorrow you have to sit on the bench. ”

Kaka was stunned for a moment, his worst fears finally came.

Why am I working so hard in training and refusing to rest? Don't you just want to lose your starting position?

As a result, I still lost my starting ......

Isn't my month's work a joke?

I'm not reconciled.

"Sir, I'm in good shape, I'm in good shape, and I'm sure I can start." He hurriedly defended himself.

He had a hunch that it would be dangerous for him to lose his starting position in the first game.

So he's trying to convince his manager.

But Osvaldo had clearly thought it through and was not so easy to change his decision.

"You need to rest, Kaka. I'm not questioning your ability and form, but you need to rest. Have you forgotten the frequent injuries you suffered in the first half of the year? ”

Hearing this, Kaka opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The injury in the first half of the year was indeed a pain in his face.

How did Glory rise?

Wasn't it because of the injury that gave him the opportunity to come off the bench?

Since then, the Chinese rookie has been like a wild horse that has escaped from control, and has become popular all the way.

If he is injured again, can the glory, which is already stronger than the beginning, give himself a chance to catch up again?

Kaka nodded with difficulty, "I'll get back to strength as soon as I can, sir." ”

Osvaldo nodded: "Don't worry, Kaka. You can rest assured. As soon as you're rested, you'll be back in the starting line-up. ”

Although Osvaldo didn't know what the future would be, but at this time, in order to appease Kaka, it was natural to promise such a blank check.

※※※

The office door was pushed open, and Kaka came out of it, and he saw the glory waiting in the doorway.

"Sir told you to come in." Kaka helps the head coach pass the word to Glory.

Rongguang didn't walk in directly, but suddenly asked, "What did he say to you?" ”

In Kaka's view, the problem is simply rubbing salt in his own wounds......

So he refused to answer this question, but said lightly to Rongguang: "You can go in and listen to it yourself." ”

With that, he passed by the side of Glory.

Rongguang turned his head to look at his back and grimaced. "Wow, what's the big deal!"

Then he turned around and walked into the manager's office.

※※※

"I'm starting?" Glory was stunned and repeated this sentence from head coach Osvaldo.

"Yes, you started this game, Rong." Osvaldo nodded in confirmation.

"Wow!" Rong Guang didn't control his emotions and waved his fist in front of the head coach.

He suddenly remembered that he was so unhappy when he came out......

Doesn't that mean Kaka will be on the bench when he starts?

Finally squeezed that guy to the bench, haha!

Although the season has not officially started, Rongguang is already as happy as if he has won the final championship.

Seeing Rongguang so happy, Osvaldo knew that he had guessed correctly.

With the relationship between Glory and Kaka, it is easy for them to compete with each other.

He hopes to have this kind of healthy competition in his team, which is good for the whole team.

※※※

As Rongguang left the office in high spirits, he met Mauro, an assistant coach, outside the door.

Seeing Mauro, Rongguang hurriedly restrained his smug emotions and behaved a little more well-behaved.

Oddly enough, he was a little intimidated by the assistant coach who had personally decided to recruit him to São Paulo's youth team.

"Hello sir." He stopped to greet Mauro.

Mauro nodded: "Go ahead." He waved his hand.

Glory quickly ran away.

Mauro turned to see Glory disappear into the hallway, before turning and pushing open the door to Osvaldo's office.

"Looks like you've told them all?" As soon as he entered, he said to Osvaldo.

Osvaldo nodded: "Yes, tell the two of them separately." Sometimes, I really thank God for giving St. Paul such a scrappy rookie. ”

Mauro smiled: "Then you can't thank God, you have to thank me, I decided to sign that rookie in the first place." ”

Osvaldo also laughed: "Then I thank God for having such two young people in my team at the same time." Because of Rong, Kaka trained so hard that he even gave up his vacation. It is precisely because of Kaka that Rong can continue to progress at such a speed. Mauro, do you know the truth? Watching these two young people compete with each other with such fighting spirit, and neither of them wants to lose to anyone, really makes an old guy like me feel the vitality of youth......"

Mauro sat down and spread his hands: "Then have you ever thought about what you will do when Kaka's strength recovers and his state recovers, and Rong's state is just right and he performs well?" Or do you want two people to compete for a spot? Wouldn't that be too ...... Wasted? ”

Hearing his assistant say this, the smile on Osvaldo's face suddenly froze.

Obviously, he hadn't thought of this question yet......

Mauro gloated and laughed, "Be careful not to set yourself on fire, Osvaldo." ”
