The car parked under the apartment building. Instead of going upstairs, he sat in the car and stared out the window in a daze.
This is just a temporary apartment he rents, not a home, and he has no sense of intimacy.
Turning off the engine and turning off the air conditioner, he opened the window to let some air in.
There were many trees outside the window, and the breeze blew into the car. The summer wind was slightly hot, which made him even more anxious.
He was not in a good mood during this period because he was having trouble with the club over salary issues.
The club asked him to forcibly cut his salary, but he refused.
When I returned to Flamengo from Milan, Flamengo offered me a lot of money. Now, only half a year later, the club has changed its face and forced itself to cut its salary?
He didn't do anything wrong. He became the absolute core of the team last season and helped the team destroy the city. Why does the club treat him like this?
In fact, he knew the reason very well.
Flamengo spent 3.5 million euros to buy him back to Brazil, not to train him at all, but to help him regain his form as soon as possible, and then send him back to Europe again to make a fortune.
However, this summer, transfer invitations from European clubs did not come. Even if some clubs were interested, they were scared away by Flamengo.
Faced with the club's high salary expenses, Flamengo was unhappy. They asked him to forcibly cut his salary to make up for the club's losses.
He is extremely angry!
Do you still have professional ethics?
Am I just your money-making tool?
But when he thought that no one cared about him this summer, he felt sad.
Maybe, I will never be able to return to Europe to play football...
During his peak period in Europe, he was omnipotent; but due to his irregular living habits, although his skills were still there, his physical condition declined sharply. This was the biggest reason why he was abandoned by AC Milan.
A star who gasps for breath every time he runs on the court, even if he was once the World Footballer, so what?
He remembered the question that the young fan asked him just ten minutes ago.
"Excuse me, will you return to Europe to play football in the future?"
He didn't answer because he didn't know how to answer.
How could he answer? Now he has not even received any transfer invitations from European clubs.
Now it's not a question of whether I want to go back, but whether I can go back.
Sitting in the car, he was in a bad mood.
I really regret it...
If I could turn back time, I would not indulge myself so much, protect my body, and strive to extend my career.
If that were the case, maybe I would still be the core member of a top European team...
Recalling the past, he was filled with emotion.
At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang, it was an unknown number.
If it was normal, he might have hung up. This strange number might be a harassing call from a boring person.
But today, he felt very lonely. Even if it was a harassing phone call, he wanted to find someone to talk to.
After answering the phone, he said "Hello".
The person opposite asked in fluent Portuguese: "Are you Moreira?"
He nodded: "It's me, who are you?"
The person on the phone did not answer, but asked: "Please allow me to ask you a question first. Do you still want to return to Europe to play football?"
Do you still want to return to Europe to play football?
Will you return to play football in Europe in the future?
In just twenty minutes, two people actually asked similar questions, which made him stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
The voice on the phone seemed to have a special magic, attracting his body and soul, as if being sucked into another space through the phone, and he was speechless for a long time.
The voice on the phone paused for a moment before ringing again. It was like chatting with him or talking to himself.
"In 2001, a Brazilian genius who was just 21 years old landed in the five major European leagues and joined Paris Saint-Germain and became the team's new player. Wearing the No. 10 jersey, he quickly became the absolute soul player of the team. It is wonderful. His goals and gorgeous passes shocked the entire Ligue 1 league."
"In 2003, this high-spirited genius switched to La Liga giant Barcelona and joined this team that aspired to rejuvenate. In the second year, he became the World Footballer and reached the top of Europe. In 2005, he won this honor again. For a time, the reputation of the genius shocked Europe. At the club level, he helped the team win many honors such as the La Liga championship and the European Champions Cup. He was the absolute soul of the Barcelona Dream Team. The Barcelona team led by him started a new era A legendary era for Team Cosmos."
"At the national team level, he has become a symbol of Brazilian football. In the 1997 World Youth Championship, he helped the team win the championship as the top scorer. In 1999, he helped the Brazilian team win the America's Cup and entered the tournament. The best team. In the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, he repeatedly performed brilliantly, leading the team all the way to the end and winning the Hercules Cup. Later in the 2005 Confederations Cup, he scored three goals in five games. He won the world with Brazil and he is one of the best players in Brazilian football in the last ten years."
"In 2008, this well-known Brazilian football wizard left Spain and came to Milan. Everyone said he was dead, but in his two years in Milan, even though he was only a rotation player, he still scored 20 goals. , making Serie A opponents terrified."
"In January 2011, this 31-year-old Brazilian veteran left the mainstream European leagues and returned to Brazil. Although he was far away from the mainstream European leagues, he still scored 14 goals in 31 games and is still the absolute soul of the team. , still the best Brazilian football wizard!"
The voice on the phone kept whispering, and the Brazilian genius holding the phone remained silent.
Listening to these experiences, he seemed to feel that the person was not talking about him, but another talented player from another world.
He has won everything.
He was once the best star in the world!
The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, and the Brazilian genius even thought the other party had hung up.
After a while, the other party spoke again.
"Please allow me to ask you the question again. Do you still want to return to Europe to play football?"
"I formally invite you to join my team!"
"If you come to my team, you will definitely get what you want! I can't guarantee that I will give you the absolute main position, but I will do my best to help you recover your physical fitness and return to form. I am sure of it!"
"My team will fight on multiple fronts in the new season. I will give you enough playing time, give you a suitable position, and develop reasonable tactics for you, so that you can not only play the game, but also play comfortably!"
After hearing these words, the Brazilian genius felt a little stupid. After a long time, he slowly opened his mouth.
"Although this is our first phone call, I guess you are the most popular young champion coach in Europe and the current Juventus coach, Coach Yun Sheng, right?"
