Chapter 75: Teammates become opponents

Brazil Serie A has started, so everyone's time is actually very tight, and soon returned to the team to report, the schedule seemed very rushed.
July 22, 2001, Brafonda training base.
Kaka and Baptista entered the dressing room.
"Haha, our champion is back!"
"Kaka, what's it like being a captain?"
"Julio, why do you seem to be gaining weight? Are you going to play in Argentina or go on vacation?"
"Wait, wait, let me first interview our best player, Mr. Kaka, is the Argentine girls beautiful? Which is more passionate than the Brazilian girl?"
Kaka was surrounded by a group of teammates, until Alvarez arrived to release.
The current main task of São Paulo is the Brazilian Champions League in addition to the Brazilian First Division.
The result of this event will determine whether São Paulo can participate in the South American Libertadores Cup next year, so the club attaches great importance to it, but unfortunately São Paulo got a 5: 3 by Flamengo in the first round of the final.
Kaka and Baptista happened to catch up with the second round of the game.
There was almost no time for rest and adjustment, they immediately started preparing for the Brazilian Champions Cup.
Baptista is the main force, but Kaka, who has returned from the reputation, still has to play the bench.
It is naturally not the fledgling Harrison but the team's new recruit to put Kaka on the bench.
Said it was new aid, but for São Paulo it was actually an old man.
Leonardo Nasimondo de Alayo.
Brazil's important players in the 94 World Cup championship, played for São Paulo, Valencia, AC Milan, Kashima Antlers, Flamengo, Paris Saint-Germain and other teams of football prodigals.
It is worth mentioning that he is also the captain of the Brazilian National Youth Team in 1988.
Has a brilliant resume.
He joined the São Paulo team as early as 1990, and won the national championships in 91 and 92, the South American Libertadores Cup and the Toyota Cup in 1992, and then moved to Valencia, Spain. After some time, he returned to São Paulo again and won the 1993 Brazilian National Football Championship, the South American Liberation Cup and the Toyota Cup.
The real São Paulo fame, the creator and witness of the club's glorious history, was awarded the captain's armband by the head coach just after returning.
There was such a great pressure that Kaka did not have any temper, but he was probably afraid of his emotions. Alvarez also specially asked him to talk to the office before the training began.
"Congratulations, Ricardo, I have watched all the games. You have performed well and made great progress," Alvarez pointed to the sofa and motioned for Kaka to sit down. "You are our pride."
"Thank you." Kaka has heard too much recently, and there is no fluctuation in his heart.
"About your position on the team ... you know, now we have Leonardo, you, and Harrison three midfielders, I can't send two attacking avant-garde at the same time, so the three of you will Sharing playing time, your sequence is before Harrison and after Leonardo. "
Kaka just wanted to speak, but Alvarez raised his hand and made a gesture that listened to me first, saying: "Of course, I can't let the best player of the World Youth Championship sit on the board for a long time, all Everyone says that you are the future of São Paulo, but here with me, you are the present of São Paulo and you are an important member of the team. You have proved in Argentina that you deserve this, so in order to increase your playing time, you have It may be mentioned on the front line. I hope you will be prepared and strengthen related training. "
"Got it, rest assured, coach."
"So, go train and perform well tomorrow."
Kaka and Alvarez came to the training ground. The players were warming up. Alvarez beckoned and called Leonardo over.
"Leonardo, bring this young man with you, he won't let you down." Brazilians, whether they are official or private, generally call each other's name or nickname directly, which is not the same as Europe and America (so before Teammates call Fabiano Luis seems to be wrong ┏ (｀ ー ′) ┛).
"Of course, I will," Leonardo replied with a smile, "Ricardo, or Kaka?"
"Kaka, everyone calls it that way."
The pronunciation of "kaka" is similar to "caca", and "caca" is not very good in Italian and other languages, but in Portuguese these two words have no specific meaning and will not cause any bad associations.
"I have watched all your matches in the World Youth Championships. I have to say that it is better than I thought. I didn't expect you to be able to do that."
"Thanks, it's all the credit of the team. Without everyone working together, I can't get to this step, compared to yours ..."
The two of them blew each other in business for a while and unexpectedly found that they were quite compatible.
Temperament is similar, the three views match, it is too late to meet each other.
Leonardo had a very rich experience, but it was very easy to eat. In Kaka's memory, this man was back in AC Milan and retired there only after staying in Sao Paulo for about half a year. Since then, he has been the head coach of two Milans. Although the results are mediocre, he is still regarded as a guest by the majors. Later, he also became the sports director in Greater Paris ~ EbookFREE.me ~
The reason why Kaka was desperately going to AC Milan, and eventually joined the Red and Black Legion in a way similar to paying for the difference, Leonardo is absolutely great.
The newcomer king and best player of the Ligue 1 was taken as the next generation of the Brazilian football's banner character to the superstar of the World Cup experience, the transfer fee is only 8.5 million US dollars.
Compared to other talented players of the same period, Kaka's price is more than 30% off.
Kaka has feelings for Milan, but like many Chinese fans, he has no good feelings for the old man who controls Milan.
His first choice in this life will still be AC ​​Milan, but 8.5 million euros? They are thinking about fart ...
The return of Kaka and Baptista further strengthened the thickness of São Paulo ’s lineup, and also made Alvarez ’s tactical choices richer, so although the score is still behind, but when the second round of the Brazil Champions League final started, this God, Alvarez still started the game with optimism.
Who knew that Flamengo had a great drink for São Paulo at the opening.
In the opening six minutes, Flamengo took the lead.
Scored exactly Kaka ’s teammate Adriano in the Brazilian youth team.
Brazil international Humbetta will transfer from Inter Milan to Flamengo, and Inter Milan will take Adriano to the Apennine peninsula with half of the transfer fee of Humbetta.
So this game is also regarded as Adriano's farewell, he is very eager to use a champion to make a perfect ending for his flamenco career.
For now, he has done a great job.
Kaka ’s most important teammate in the last final became his most powerful enemy in this final.
