Chapter 11: The First Team
See the fastest updates
When first-team manager Osvaldo and assistant coach Mauro left the youth team training ground, the youth team players did not recover for half a day.
They can't accept the reality that the rookie, who has only been in contact with football for more than a month, will be taken by the first-team manager and get the opportunity to train with the first-team team!
When the first-team coach and assistant coach come to the youth training ground, everyone is rushing to get a chance to go to the first team.
No one regards Glory as their own opponent.
There are some players who are outstanding in the youth team and have performed well in the youth team and feel that this team spot must be in their pockets.
But who would have thought that from the time the dull and powerful drum beat sounded again, things would take a radical turn!
In everyone's surprised gaze, Glory got the chance to play!
He was also personally mentored by assistant coach Mauro.
The most rear...... He even managed to win the favor of head coach Osvaldo and was taken to the first team by Osvaldo!
It's like Cinderella's fairy tale - a person who is not favored at all, but is finally held by the prince......
This has made many people who feel that they can attract the attention of the manager and thus promote the first team to the indignation.
It's just that in front of the coach of the youth team, they don't show their emotions well.
When the training was over, Rong Guang continued to stay on the training ground to practice passing and receiving the ball vigorously.
Others returned to the locker room and prepared to leave.
In the dressing room, they could finally talk unbridled about the fact that Glory had gone to the first team with shit.
'What does the first-team manager think? How could such a rookie be allowed to go to the first team? Aren't we all as good as that rookie? β
"I only studied for more than a month and went to the first team, and I don't know how to write it!" Youth striker Kleber snorted. He was replaced by Glory in the game, and the result was that Glory became a first-team player at the end of the game, which made him angry. He thinks that if Glory doesn't replace himself, then this place to go to the first team should obviously be his.
When Lucas heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "People are at least qualified to die in the first team, but what about some people?" I don't even have that qualificationβ"
"Shut up, sub!" Kleber shouted.
In the talented forward line of the youth team, Lucas Sutton is a substitute, and obviously cannot be compared with the main strikers such as Rico and Kleber.
Lucas ignored the loser Kleber, he looked at a group of very unhappy teammates, and somehow, the situation of training with Rongguang came to mind, and remembered that Rongguang learned to practice juggling the ball in a week and became familiar with the ball. I think of his amazing ability to learn at a speed that rivals his speed......
So he smiled and said, "How about it, guys, do you want to open a bet?" Bet on when Rong will return to the youth team. The odds after one game are twenty to one, ten to ten after two games, five to one after three games, and one to one for the youth team not to return! β
When everyone heard him say this, they all laughed: "Lucas, it's commendable to support your friends, but you can't go bankrupt!" Will you be able to afford it then? β
"Then you don't have to worry about it, I always have a way anyway, does anyone want to bet?"
"Down, why don't you go down?" The first person to stand up was Kleber. "Since Lucas has to offer money to all of us, we can't let him down. I'll bet five thousand reais and bet on the Chinese kid to return to the youth team after one game! β
Many people gasped - Kleber hated glory...... It's such a big deal all at once. If Glory really rolls back to the youth team after one game, it means that Lucas will have to pay Kleber 100,000 reais!
Kleber: This is falling into the well! You must know that the five thousand reais is basically his salary for two weeks......
used his entire salary for two weeks to smash Lucas, and held back his strength to make Lucas pay 100,000.
It's a rhythm that even Lucas hates. On the one hand, because Lucas is a glorious friend, and on the other hand, because Lucas just sneered at him and poked him in the sore spot.
But Lucas didn't care, his eyes narrowed with a smile, and he spread his hands: "Okay, please put the money out first." β
Kleber snorted: "Who will carry five thousand reais on them?" Wait for me to give it to you tomorrow! β
"Don't be on the pay, Kleber."
"That's what I said to you, Lucas. 100,000 reais is not a small amount, don't pay for it! β
Lucas ignored him, turned to the others and said, "Who else?" Who else? Anyone want to place a bet? β
But everyone else was frightened by the big bet between Lucas and Kleber, and they hesitated, and finally gave up the idea of joining in the fun.
Now it is obvious that it is a feud between Kleber and Glory and Lucas, and they don't need to get involved.
Although they are not happy to let Glory into the first team, but even if they bet, how can they get the money?
The first thing Lucas had to consider was Kleber's 100,000, and as for their money, I don't know if Lu Dao could get it. Or maybe I can't even get Kleber's 100,000......
This matter has gone beyond the scope of simple "small gambling pleasure", and they still stay away.

When Godot heard that Glory had been selected for the first team, he was surprised.
Even though he was hoping that Glory could break into the first team as soon as possible and perform well in exchange for a more lucrative professional contract, he didn't expect Glory to become a member of the first team in just over a month......
"First team manager...... What did Osvaldo think? He asked.
'I did well in the game, I shocked the manager, and I was in the first team!' Rong Guang, who sat in the co-pilot, seemed full of confidence, not at all worried about his bad performance after he went to the first team, he didn't seem to remember that he was a rookie who had only been in contact with football for more than a month. The result of being selected for the first team gave him excitement and confidence, which he believes proves that his hard work has paid off and that his talent has been seen.
"You're actually playing?" Gordo glanced at the time and date on the center console of the car, wondering if time had passed too quickly, and in the blink of an eye months had passed without him knowing.
Otherwise, how could Glory have participated in the competition?
He's been doing basic training for almost two months and hasn't played a game, either in youth games or in training matches.
Why did you suddenly start playing? It's still in front of the first team manager.
So Rongguang told his agent everything that happened during the afternoon training.
Godot was amazed to hear it.
This can make Rongguang be favored by the first-team manager, and Rongguang has really taken shit luck recently......
However, Godot is worried that the first-team competition will be too fierce and the glory will not be able to withstand the pressure when it is gone. And the most important thing is that the first team has no basic training, with the level of glory, even if you go to the first team, what can you do?
Turning his head to see Glory's elated expression, Godot suppressed all those worries in his heart and did not say anything.
Let him be happy at this time......
At this time, sports news programs were played on the car radio.
ββ¦β¦ Kaka's injury has touched the hearts of tens of thousands of people, and he has been recovering from an injury he had since two weeks ago and has not participated in the team's training. It would be a heavy blow for Sao Paulo if he could not play in the 'solemn derby' against Corinthians, who are already the last to be assured of SΓ£o Paulo with the likes of Ricardinho injured one after another......
"Rong, your opponent is such a highly anticipated character." Godot pointed to the radio and laughed.
Although Corinthians made him very unhappy about the glorious affairs, he was a Corinthians supporter for many years, so his respect for Kaka was not as excessive as that of Sao Paulo fans, and there was no respect or affection in his tone.
Glory had just been promoted to the first team, and now his confidence was at its highest, and he smiled: "Wouldn't that be better, Godot?" Who will target a nobody? β
β»β»β»
Glory's first day of training with the first team was memorable, so he appeared positive.
Godot sent him to the parking lot of the Brafonta training base, and when he saw Rongguang pushing the car door and trying to get down, he was going to tell the excited boy who hadn't slept well all night.
He originally wanted to make Glory a little more low-key and humble in the first team, and not cause trouble.
But the words became: "Don't be weak in front of the first-team stars!" β
The meaning is completely different......
Maybe it's because he also hopes from the bottom of his heart that Glory can play in the first team as soon as possible......
Glory made a triumphant gesture to Godot: "Look and see, Godot! β
Then he ran to the dressing room of the first team......
On the way to the locker room, he met Rico.
In fact, there are only two players named by Osvaldo Oliveira to take away from the youth team, one is Glory and the other is striker Rico.
Because first-team injuries are mainly concentrated in midfield.
Because of Lucas, the relationship between Rico and Rongguang is not bad, unlike other youth team players who see Rongguang as if they see an enemy.
Rico can still talk to Rongguang.
So Rico is the person Glory is most familiar with in the first team.
"Rico, you seem to be a little nervous?"
Glory was keenly aware of it.
"Aren't you nervous, Rong?" Rico asked.
"What's there to be nervous about?"
"It's the first team! First Team! It's completely different from the youth team! Rico repeated the phrase "first team".
'Will the first-team players eat us?' Rong Guang asked.
"Uh...... Not really. But they're all stars, maybe they're not getting along? Rico said with a frown.
Rongguang patted him the back, "What do you want to do so much, Rico?" Let's talk about it when we really find out that they don't get along well! β
"That's right......" Rico was in a better mood by the words of Glory.
So the two youngsters began to dream of being in the first team.
In a sense, they only enter professional football if they are in the first team.
β»β»β»
The two men laughed and walked into the locker room.
It was found that there were quite a few first-team players in the dressing room.
I don't know what to do, but the awe of the first team rose in Ricko's heart, and his smile disappeared immediately.
All that remained was the glorious and cheerful laughter.
Without Rico by his side, his voice stands out.
When the first-team players in the dressing room heard the laughter, they all stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at the door.
When they saw the appearance of Rong Guang smiling, the expressions of several people changed slightly.
Rico was keenly aware of the change in expression.
He imagined that if the first-team stars welcomed them, it would be with a smile, but the faces of these people who looked at Rong Guang didn't seem very pleasant......
Even if they were all expressionless, this kind of expression appeared in a concentrated manner, which also made Rico feel a little worried.
And the eyes of those players can almost be captured by the naked eye, Rico clearly feels that they are looking at the glory around them, and they are ...... Completely skipped through.
It's like they didn't welcome this boy from the youth team very much.
Riko chuckled in his heart - what he feared had happened.
But it didn't happen to me, but it happened to Glory.
But what he couldn't figure out was that these first-team stars didn't know Glory, so why would their expressions and eyes be so unfriendly when they saw Glory for the first time?
Of course, he didn't know that Rongguang had long been despised by many first-team players because he wanted to use Kaka as a target. And now, someone has told these first-team stars about the identity of Rong Guang in advance.
So the eyes of those first-team stars looking at glory are actually looking at an idiot who is arrogant enough to challenge Kaka.
Who would look at an idiot with a friendly gaze?
First-team striker Reinaldo stepped out of the dressing room and walked to the door to stand in front of Glory.
His actions attracted others in the dressing room, some looking nervous, others grinning and holding their arms ready to watch the show.
"You're the kid who claims to beat Kaka?" Reinaldo looked at Glory with disdain, and the disdain in his tone was even worse.
Seeing this scene next to the two of them, Rico involuntarily took a step back, almost scared.
Are the first-team stars so hot? Straight to the point as soon as you come up? Is this the rhythm of a big fight if you don't agree with each other?
Rico is already thinking about waiting for a real fight to start later, whether he will help Rongguang or run away......
Glory glared back unfearedly and looked at Reinaldo.
At this time, a tall and old man appeared between the two of them, and he first stared at Reinaldo with a serious face: "No, no, no." Reinaldo. β
The voice was deep and majestic.
Reinaldo was much more honest in front of him, and his previous arrogance immediately weakened a lot.
He didn't say anything, just glared at Glory fiercely, and walked around Glory and out of the locker room.
Then the tall and dignified man turned to the two youth team players and smiled: "Welcome to the first team. There are so many injuries in the squad at the moment and we need your strength a lot. I'm Roggio Cheney, captain of the first team and goalkeeper of the team. β
Saying that, he stretched out his hand, it was really a big hand, no wonder it would be a goalkeeper......
Rongguang and Rico shook hands with him, feeling the strength of his knuckles.
"You can find me for anything, and I'll help you figure it out." Cheney continued warmly and kindly.
His attitude made Rico breathe a sigh of relief that not all first-team stars are so difficult to get along with. At the very least, the captain is pretty good......
"I heard about you." Cheney looked at Glory and smiled. "It's good that young people have fighting spirit and big goals, and I don't think Kaka will be upset by that. Come on! β
Rongguang didn't expect the captain of the first team to be so easy to talk to, he was ready to fight with that guy who didn't like it just now...... Children in the mountains, no one is afraid of fighting!
Unexpectedly, as soon as the captain came, a few simple words would eliminate the tense atmosphere. He really deserves to be the captain...... It's very dignified in the team.
And because the captain didn't ridicule or humiliate his target, it made Glory have a very good impression of Cheney.
Cheney patted Rongguang on the shoulder: "Come on, I'll introduce you to everyone, in fact, they all get along very well...... This is Luis Fabiano, the team's main striker. β
He pointed to a thin young black man.
Fabiano clasped his arms in his hands and leaned against his locker, his face was cold, not enthusiastic, but also not disgusted, not silent, just nodded, as if he had said hello.
Cheney smiled and said: "Louis is such a person, you can get used to it, in fact, people are not bad." As he spoke, he turned to a tall, muscular, dark-skinned man next to Fabiano.
'This is Julio Baptista, the defender of the team.
He pointed to the big man.
The big black man grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth like the toothpaste advertisement, and smiled at Glory and Rico, "Hello. β
He's kind of enthusiastic.
Next, Cheney pointed to a large white man with long flaxen hair. "Diego Lugano, the centre-back, from Uruguay."
"Okay." Lugano's greeting was perfunctory.
In this way, Cheney introduced all the first-team players who are currently in the dressing room.
But there is no Kaka.
"Kaka is injured, and I don't know when I'll ......get better," said Kaka, and Cheney was worried.
With Ricardinho, the central playmaker, injured, Kaka is Sao Paulo's biggest supporter.
Perhaps realizing that he was not in a good mood, Cheney regained a smile on his face: "Although you are in the first team, you are the same as in the youth team, don't have any pressure, just train hard. Don't overthink it. β
In his heart, he didn't think that these two newcomers from the youth team could help the team. The team's problems are not something that can be solved by one or two youth team players.
