The surrounding light gradually dimmed, and Adriano seemed to be in the darkness of the universe.
There was no light, no sound, time and air no longer flowed. He felt that the world had stopped.
Although Adriano often went to bars and was used to anesthetizing himself in the hustle and bustle, now in this quiet environment, he suddenly felt very comfortable and at ease.
It's like a person who has been working for a long time can suddenly leave his job completely, without answering the phone or using the Internet, and sleep well all day alone.
This feeling is so comfortable.
Adriano enjoyed this tranquility, but a moment later, a light suddenly flashed in front of him, making Adriano unable to open his eyes.
"Wright, how are you doing recently?" A familiar greeting made Adriano tremble. The voice went straight to his soul and made him unable to believe it.
Adriano looked carefully at the bright light in front of him. Gradually, the light dimmed a little, and he could see the person in the light clearly.
After seeing this man clearly, Adriano knelt directly on the ground: "Father, father! Father..."
At this time, the Brazilian genius was in tears and choked with sobs.
Almir slowly approached Adriano, and he whispered: "Wright, you suffered after I left."
"Father, I miss you so much..." Adriano burst into tears.
Almir bent down and sat on the floor. He patted Adriano's shoulder gently: "Wright, don't cry. It's already rare for us to have the opportunity to see each other again."
Adriano wiped his tears and looked at his father in front of him.
My father looked very young, like a middle-aged man, and looked in good health.
"Father, how are you doing over there?" Adriano didn't even know how to ask.
"The things over there are top secret. Let's not talk about it, so as not to cause trouble to you and me," Almir said calmly. "Let's talk about football. How has your performance been in the past few years since I left?" ?”
"Father, since you left, I don't really want to play football. I don't know who else I can play for." Adriano sat next to his father and whispered with tears, "I Now I feel confused every day, and I have already lost the direction of progress.”
"Lite, it's okay. Just talk to me. Tell me about what happened in the past few years. I want to hear it."
In the quiet darkness, a beam of light shone on the father and son, and Adriano talked about his experiences over the years.
After not going well with Inter Milan and a failed experience with the Brazilian national team, I came to Cottbus and fell into a trough again.
After listening to Adriano's words, Almir sighed: "Kid, you have suffered. Do you still remember the first time you played football when you were four years old?"
"I don't seem to remember..."
"But I will always remember that moment!" Almir's eyes flashed when he said this, "When you played football for the first time, you jumped up excitedly and then told me, Dad, I will play football for the rest of my life. Football! I can’t forget how excited you were back then.”
"But you forgot, what a pity. You just said that you lost the way forward, was it all because of my leaving? No, I don't think so. The fact that you lost the way forward has a lot to do with your lack of self-discipline. Relationship, if you say you are decadent and hang out with the gangsters from the 'Red Command', does it have something to do with leaving me?"
"Wright, when I was here, I was always able to discipline you, but after I left, you began to indulge. Once you give up diligent training and spend all your energy on messy things, your game state will definitely deteriorate. Decline. And because your game state has declined, you can't score goals, you can't win games, you are questioned and criticized, these things will make you gradually lose the interest in football, won't it?"
"This... um..." Adriano opened his mouth for a long time, trying to explain, but he still didn't say anything, "Father, your criticism is right, it is not wrong at all."
Almir continued: "So for you now, train hard, get back into shape as soon as possible, score goals, and win, so that you can get out of the trough. It's a good thing that you came to the Bundesliga. There is less competition pressure here than in Serie A." Much more, you have enough space and time to recover. And you also have a head coach who treats you well."
"Wright, you have to remember that there are always several important opportunities in a person's life. These opportunities are fleeting. If you don't seize them, you may never make a comeback. You are a genius, and more importantly The only thing is that you are a person who loves football, and that is enough. I hope you can play well in Cottbus, for me and for yourself."
Adriano looked at Almir with great warmth in his heart: "Father, no one has ever said these words to me in the three years since you left. I am really happy and happy to hear these criticisms and encouragements. "
Almir smiled, and the light on his body seemed to be brighter: "Wright, my time with you is limited, I have to leave. You must remember what I said, you are a person who loves football, and you must do well for yourself. Playing football, that's the most important thing."
"In the days to come, I will always look at you in the sky. After you score a goal, please tell me and I will cheer and applaud you in the sky, just like before."
Adriano looked at Almir, and he nodded vigorously.
At this time, the light on Almir's body became brighter and brighter. He stopped talking and stretched out his left hand to point to the sky.
"After you score, please tell me. Goodbye, my beloved Wright."
At three o'clock in the morning, Adriano woke up from his dream.
His tears had wet the sheets, and he felt extremely empty as he looked at the empty room.
Was it just a dream just now?
Adriano stood up slowly and went to the living room to drink a glass of water. When he looked up, he was shocked!
The door that was open before going to bed just now has been closed at some point!
Could it be that my father has really been here? !
Thinking of this, Adriano burst into tears again.
He sat on the sofa and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Father, I know you have really come to see me.
I will always remember those words you said.
I promise you that I will never go out in bars all night again, and I will never indulge in beauty again.
I remember, when I was four years old, I did tell you that I loved football so much!
I will not disappoint your expectations. From tomorrow on, I will be the genius Adriano again!
I will dedicate countless goals to you!
My dearest father!
