Alagoas Corinthian is a team made up of Corinthian fans.

In the vicinity, there are at least five copycat Corinthian teams, and Alagoas is a slightly better mix among them, although they are a semi-professional league and can only participate in some regional amateur competitions, they are part of the Corinthian youth system, which also makes this copycat club have a certain weight in the Corinthian team.

However, this also has something to do with the high success rate of this copycat club.

When Deco came to Alagoas with his luggage on his back and a gloomy face, the group of teenagers who were playing on the bare turf all stopped, looked at him, and talked about it.

"Another unlucky guy!" A darker and stronger teenager at the head said with a smile.

"Don't get distracted, focus on training, muddy balls!" A tall and sturdy slightly dark middle-aged man next to him shouted.

The teenagers were suddenly frightened and scattered, only the black and strong boy was still staring at Deco with interest.

"Pepe, be nice, don't freak him out!" The middle-aged man shouted.

The black young man pursed his lips, "I'm not interested in the people who slipped down from Corinthian!" After saying that, he turned around proudly and went straight to the court, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and frightened the players around him to scatter.

"Hello.xzsj8., I'm the head coach of Alagoas, you can call me Lima!" The middle-aged man came to Deco, who was looking around, and introduced himself.

"Hello.xzsj8., they all call me Deco!"

"I know!" Lima said with a smile, and then wanted to take the luggage from Deco's hand, but the latter subconsciously dodged, this is a child with experience!

Lima made a judgment in his heart, and without further ado, he walked into the training ground with Deco and went to the row of modest dormitories in front.

In Brazil, there are not many youth teams that can afford this kind of dormitory, and Alagoas is one of them, so there are a lot of kids who are happy to play here, and it's almost overcrowded.

"Almost every teenager who comes down from Corinthian is just like you, but it will be fine after a while!" Lima said with a smile.

Deco looked at this smiling Lima, and didn't believe his words at all, he didn't believe it at all.

Lima seemed to see this, a little embarrassed, and shrugged helplessly, "Do you want to hear the truth?" ”

Deco hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"You don't have a chance!" Lima replied harshly.

"I've seen your file, you played 17 games in Corinthian, you scored two goals, and for them it was terrible, so they didn't want to sign you to a professional contract, but they didn't know how to send you, so they stuffed you here, do you know what Alagoas is?"

Seeing that Deco was stunned, Lima smiled bitterly: "We can't even participate in the third division, this is the reality!" ”

Although the 19-year-old Deco had expected it, he was still quite uncomfortable when he heard this reality.

He has been like most teenagers with football dreams since he was a child, dreaming of changing his fate by playing football, but he has been tossing and turning several clubs, and they don't look down on Deco, and finally met an opportunity in Corinthian, and the other party promised to give him a chance to try out and play, as long as he behaved well, he could sign a contract.

But the result?

Is this really the end of my life?

Lima looked at the young man in front of him, and felt a little sympathy, because he also came this way when he was young, but he chose to coach in this place, and he pinned his hopes on his son, that is, that Pepe.

"Don't be sad, I'm telling you, Deco, although we can't even play official games, there are also a lot of scouts around us, and as long as you do well, I can introduce you to some professional clubs."

As if afraid that Deco wouldn't believe it, Lima smiled proudly, "Have you heard of Marcelinho?" ”

Deco shook his head, it was normal that he hadn't heard of it.

"He's my disciple who went out here, and now he plays for Blanco in Brazil's third division, and he has performed well for two seasons in a row, and now I heard that Sao Paulo is eyeing him!"

Speaking of this, Lima spread his hands, "You see, in fact, to get ahead, it's such a simple thing, the key is that you have to have faith in yourself and be willing to work hard, because miracles will always be prepared for those who are ready, understand?" ”

Deco didn't know if what Lima said was true or not, but he did hear a lot of examples like Marcelinho, so he didn't refute it, just nodded slightly.

"I have a friend who recently went to Portugal and worked in a team in the lower leagues over there, I have asked him to help, as long as you perform well, as long as you have the strength, then I can introduce you to this club to try, it is a European team, although it is a low level, but it is much more formal than ours here, and it makes more money, if the strength is enough, and the top league team is fancied, then you will become famous!"

Lima encouraged Deco with all his might, because he had been young, so he knew that everything was superfluous for Deco at this moment, and only faith could keep him hopeful.

"Really?" Sure enough, after Deco listened, his eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance.

Europe, for all the players at the bottom of Brazil, is a paradise in the world.

"Of course, and you're better off than signing a contract with Corinthian, because you can save a lot of money on the transfer fee, and people will give you a little more salary because of it, you earned it, boy!" Lima said with a smile.

Deco laughed as well, the first time he had laughed since he walked into Alagoas.

"Let's get dressed, we're going to start training, remember, behave yourself!"

Deco nodded heavily and flew away.

Looking at Deco's back, Lima's smile instantly converged, what he said just now was half-true and half-false, just to encourage Deco, in fact, how many people who came to this team were able to come out?

Going to Portugal?

Every year, I don't know how many Brazilian players sneak over there just to be able to play there and make a name for themselves, but look at how many Brazilian players are there in the Portuguese league today?

The world is so unfair, everyone will only look at those who come out, but no one will pay attention to the vast majority of the eliminated who are trampled on their shoulders and become their stepping stones.
