Chapter 235: In a word

If you display the names of every world football superstar and look at their lives from beginning to end, then more than 90% of the superstars' growth experience is a history of inspirational struggle.
Ten years later in the world football, people who like Ronaldo can list his countless advantages, and people who do not like Ronaldo can also list his countless disadvantages.
However, before Ronaldo became famous, he should be respected and admired by everyone.
In this era of digging for genius, how could Aldridge forget the Portuguese superstar?
When Andrew's company was founded, Aldridge told Ronaldo's name and general information and asked him to help him find it.
Unlike Messi, who is the second largest city in Argentina, Cristiano Ronaldo is in Europe, but he is too remote in the place, reaching the edge of Europe. If it were not for Cristiano Ronaldo who entered the national team’s subordinate echelon, Andrew’s ball Half a year ago, the Internet was covered here in Portugal. I'm afraid Aldridge still can't find the superstar embryo who is living in the water.
Although it is not a slum in the strict sense, it is like the house of Ronaldo. The grass roots are dilapidated, but they are bright. In a decaying and degraded environment, there are flowers and plants that parents take care of to light up the hope of life.
Because Ronaldo is the person named by Aldridge, Andrew's scouts did an investigation while collecting information here.
The neighborhood environment is terrible, and there are no positive elements. The neighbors are all drunks. The young people are willing to fall. Even Ronaldo’s family and his friends have been devoured by the devil. .
His brother has a drug addiction.
His teammates in the national team also have drugs.
Ronaldo, who is in a difficult family, was thin and weak at this time, but he still adhered to his dream of football. He was not affected by the fall of his friends, and showed the maturity beyond the 12-year-old boy.
When Ronaldo’s mother Dolores looked at the Millwall Club brochure, Ronaldo’s father, Denis, came back. The current professional is a worker who repairs the turf of the stadium. The owner is the amateur team Antonio in this area. It was because of his working relationship here that C Ronaldo entered the team at the age of 7 to receive training and was eventually taken away by the national team two years ago. For this reason, the national team paid only for Antonio The team has two brand new jerseys and sneakers worth 600 Euros.
Of course, this does not mean that Ronaldo, who is 10 years old, is deemed to have a value of 600 euros. At his age, the club cannot restrain him. That is just the normal practice of maintaining relations between the club and the club, just like Aldridge will give Some amateur teams have the same symbolic transfer fee. Really speaking of the law, Aldridge can take away players such as Klose and Barzali for free, because even if Klose is 18 years old, the contract is an amateur contract. The cost of buying out will not exceed 10,000 pounds.
Denis and Aldridge sat down and introduced each other. The couple took a very serious look at the Millwall Club brochure.
The father of Denis, although he had no skill, worked as a turf worker in an amateur club and part-time gardener. One can imagine how cheap his income would be. However, from the day C Ronaldo was able to walk, as long as there was a chance, Denis He will train Ronaldo to play football. On the road of football, the father's influence on his son has left a bit of branding deep in Ronaldo's memory.
They saw Millwall’s well-prepared brochure introducing Millwall’s changes under the leadership of Audridge over the past three years, scoring record points in the Premier League, the second season in the history of England’s double cup Wang, the first league in history, the FA Cup, the European Championship triple crown.
This makes Millwall’s fame not as radiant as Real Madrid’s radiation effect in the Latin region of Portugal, but it is enough to make the couple think that Millwall is an amazing club.
That's England's best team this year and it must be stronger than the Portuguese championship team.
The husband and wife communicated, and finally Denis said with difficulty: "Mr. Hall, to be honest, I really hope my younger son can go to Millwall for football training, because the environment there is so good, Leo Youth Training There are so many advanced facilities in the base, as well as dietitians, doctors, and professional coaches. These are all the things I want my youngest son to get, but we can’t afford the cost of living abroad."
Aldridge calmly took out a document from the suitcase and handed it to the other party, said softly: "Please look at this."
After receiving the file, Dinis and Dolores glanced together. After they watched it for fifteen minutes, the two were completely stunned.
"500,000 pounds! Will you give us 500,000 pounds?! Why? Are you going to buy my son?"
Dinis's expression changed, both frightened and panicked by his own speculation.
Dolores held her husband's hand tightly and shook his head slightly, as if to think that Aldridge came to buy their son.
Aldridge still didn't change his face and asked lightly: "Sir, ma'am, I have a question to ask you. In your eyes, will Cristiano Ronaldo become a professional player?"
Dinis nodded affirmatively and said loudly: "He will! Certainly! The people who have watched him play football will praise him!"
"Will it be a star?"
"meeting!"
"Will it be one of the best stars in football?"
"This……"
Even though Denis firmly believed that Ronaldo would succeed, he did not dare to draw conclusions with a firm tone to what extent he would succeed.
"He can!"
When Aldridge's eyes firmly said these two words to the couple, the couple stared at the young master with a stunned look.
Aldridge said with a very solemn expression: "But to become a superstar, he needs to pay ten times and one hundred times the effort of ordinary people! He also needs the strength of the family, someone needs to supervise him, and someone guides him correctly! This money is not for me to buy Your son, but let you get rid of the worries of life, put all your energy to cultivate him, so that he can concentrate on playing football, let him a 12-year-old child, do not worry about parents and brothers and sisters! You can take the money, buy your own house, open a shop, and in short, create an environment where we can cultivate him together. If you want, I can also pay for his brother and sister to go to school, Let the poor child, who is addicted to drugs, go to drug treatment."
Dinis shook her body and mind, and after a long while she turned her head to look at his wife, only to see that Dolores had already burst into tears.
Every day, they are looking forward to Ronaldo's growing up soon. He will become famous soon, and use his power to change this poor and desperate home.
But they haven't waited until this day, but some nobles have come to the door.
In any case, it was their little son who brought it all.
"Let's move to Britain too."
Denis said softly, holding his wife.
Dolores shook his head and refused, sobbing: "No, let him be independent! Let him learn to live alone. He can't always live by his parents. Learning to be independent can make him grow up as soon as possible."
Dinis hesitated and said: "Then we will stay in Portugal, listen to you, let him live independently."
Aldrich saw the dissatisfaction in Denis's face and said: "The club can provide him with the cost of traveling between Portugal and the UK every half month.
"No! No! No! Can't let him come back! Never!"
Dolores couldn't hold back his emotions and shouted heartbroken.
The poor life supported by a made the woman who broke her heart for the family fully express her emotions at this moment.
"He can't come back! He can't come back! He doesn't belong here!"
Dolores understands deeply that this community is full of sin and depravity. She prays every day. The youngest son must not learn badly, cannot commit crimes, and cannot take drugs like his brother!
Most of the children who grew up with Ronaldo since they were younger than 15 years old have been completely destroyed. Dolores does not want Ronaldo to return and be assimilated by his bad friends... …
Aldrich probably guessed the mother's mood and fell into silence.
At this time, Ronaldo returned home.
12-year-old Ronaldo was thin, vaguely looking with future outline features, curly hair, wearing a national team jersey, and was all dirty. Wanting to come was a day of serious and hard training.
He saw his father hug his mother, and the mother was crying in his father's arms. He was anxious. He picked up a cup on the table and raised his hand to face Aldridge. "Who are you? You bastard?" !"
It is difficult to imagine a 12-year-old child standing up in the presence of his parents and resolutely defending the family. This may be a microcosm of Ronaldo's fighting spirit.
"stop!"
Dinis scolded Ronaldo, and then explained everything to him, but did not tell him that Millwall would pay their family £500,000.
Ronaldo was very happy when he heard it, but when he learned that his parents would not go to London, he immediately changed his face and ran into his room without roaring.
Dolores wiped her tears and apologized to Aldrich: "Mr. Hall, I'm sorry, he is still a child without his mother, and I will persuade him."
After all, Dolores got up and walked into Ronaldo’s room. The house had poor sound insulation. At first, the mother and son were arguing. Later, Ronaldo’s voice gradually became smaller. Finally, Dolores and Ronaldo joined together. As he walked out, Ronaldo showed a reluctance on his face.
Aldridge stood up and walked in front of Ronaldo. Ronaldo's eyes looked up at Aldrich with a hostile expression in his eyes.
He glared so much that he looked at Aldridge's appearance clearly. He didn't pay attention to it just now, only to find that the other party was a resounding figure.
"You, are you Aldridge Hall?"
Aldrich nodded to the water, before Ronaldo continued to ask questions, he looked down at the child and said lightly: "Cristiano Ronaldo, answer me a question. Do you think you can bring happiness to your family? "
Ronaldo's expression was stunned, and then he raised his chest and said loudly: "Of course, I will make a lot of money playing football in the future!"
"When will it be?"
"18-year-old, no, 17-year-old, no, 15-year-old! I will definitely be a big star at the age of 15!"
Ronaldo said confidently.
Aldridge nodded and said, "So what can you do for your family in the three years before you were 15?"
Ronaldo was speechless and his face became unsightly.
Dolores distressed her son and wanted to speak, but Dinis held her hand and shook her head seriously towards her.
Aldrich pressed Cristiano Ronaldo's shoulder in one hand and said in a deep voice: "You think you are already an adult, a man, very good, I will not treat you with the eyes of a child, we make a deal. "
Ronaldo raised his head and asked, "What deal?"
"Follow me to London. In the next three years, you train hard and put every minute on football. This is what you have to pay. If you promise to do it, I will give your sister in these three years. Find a prestigious school with your brother and pay the rent and living expenses of a high-end apartment for your family. This is what you can do for your family before you become a star. You make your family happy. If you fail to do it in the end, Then in three years, you will not only be unable to become a star, but you will not have any future, you will not earn a high salary, and your family situation will plummet. How?"
Ronaldo's eyes firmly gritted his teeth and said: "A word is fixed!"
Aldridge's mouth outlined a smile, and said lightly: "One word is final."
