The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 421 A Show of Force! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

One day in July, an international flight from the South American football kingdom arrived at Kai Tak Airport after a long and winding journey.

Fifteen-year-old Ronaldo and his mother carefully exited the airport.

Hong Kong Island is an international metropolis, with countless tourists from all over the world passing through the airport every day, so the mother and son didn't seem out of place.

Of course, the towering buildings and bustling atmosphere of Hong Kong Island did not amaze the mother and son too much.

Well, the mother and son are from Rio de Janeiro, one of Brazil's most vibrant cities. In terms of the vibrancy of its core urban areas, Rio de Janeiro is in no way inferior to Hong Kong Island, and may even be more grand and imposing.

At this time, it was the best era for the entire South American economy!

The existence of the Soviet Union forced the United States to adopt a more moderate appeasement policy towards the South American countries in its backyard.

How could future generations possibly know that in the early 1990s, Mexico was a near-developed country, not the terrible place it became later?

Brazil, the football powerhouse, has experienced rapid economic growth, and its leaders harbor a strong ambition to become a global superpower.

As for Argentina, it has become an economically developed country solely through agricultural and livestock exports—it's truly magical.

The rest of South America and Central and North America were doing quite well at this time.

The Americas are not just the chosen land of the beautiful country!
As for why they all turned into spineless wimps later on.

Ironically, the most outrageous figure was Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez.
The only reason: Su Xiong has collapsed!
The United States has paid such a high price, so naturally it wants to reap the rewards.

Besides, if the neighbors of the world's superpower have such an easy life, wouldn't that make the world's superpower seem less valuable?
Putting aside the gossip, as soon as Ronaldo and his mother stepped out of the airport, club staff members approached them with signs to recognize them.

Originally, the club planned to send someone to escort Ronaldo and his mother all the way, as a gesture of goodwill and to put their minds at ease.

The saying "even a ruined family is worth a fortune" applies to the kingdom of football as well.

Da Luo's mother was reluctant to part with the family's belongings, and if she wanted to get rid of everything, it would take quite a long time.

Moreover, their family lives in a slum with a high risk factor, and it is not appropriate for staff from Hong Kong Island to stay there for an extended period of time.

In the end, the matter was only settled after the full amount was paid and plane tickets and airport pick-up arrangements were made.

Even so, Ronaldo and his mother were deeply moved by the sincerity of the Hong Kong Island Club staff.

You know, there are so many young footballers in the football kingdom, and although there are countless football teams at all levels there, they are very indifferent to young players.

Unless someone demonstrates sufficient talent, everyone is treated equally.

Trying to take advantage of the club in the slightest? No way.

Even Ronaldo, who had already shown remarkable talent, received only mediocre treatment and very low income in the club's youth team.

Unexpectedly, he was noticed by a Hong Kong football club and offered a very 'sincere' professional contract.

Two years ago, even if Ronaldo was short of money, he wouldn't have accepted such an invitation, because Hong Kong was simply too unknown in the football world.

However, Ronaldo hesitated only slightly before accepting the invitation from Hong Kong Island Club after receiving his mother's support.

After all, Ronaldo had seen Hong Kong FC's performance at the 1990 World Cup and was quite fond of their attacking style. This is the benefit of fame; Hong Kong FC's stunning performance at the World Cup gave the club more confidence and assurance when inviting foreign players.

In their past lives, there were some rumors circulating among mainland football fans that were quite detailed and convincing, which excited them for a long time, and they even thought they were true.

For example, when Xu Dashuai led his team to Ukraine for a friendly match, he took a liking to Shevchenko, who was still a young player at the time.

Furthermore, Vieira, who played in Cannes, France, was also scouted by domestic teams and almost came to the Chinese Jia-A League.

The funniest thing is that Recoba, who is known as the "Oriental Boy", was also rumored to have been scouted by a professional football club in mainland China.

Don't you realize that Recoba became famous at a young age and was scouted by major European clubs early on? He was more famous than Shevchenko and Vieira when he was young. How could he possibly come to play in mainland China?
Upon arriving at the club, Ronaldo and his mother were accommodated in a nearby apartment, which was in a very nice environment.

After that came the physical examination before officially joining the team, as well as various physical data tests. Finally, his mother, as his guardian, helped Ronaldo sign a legally binding professional contract.

The contract is valid for three years and also clarifies the club's responsibilities.

When Ronaldo performs well in the Hong Kong professional league, the club will recommend him to a related European club.

Without such explicit terms, Ronaldo would likely not have come to Hong Kong Island to play football, as there is really not much prospect for him.

Hong Kong Island team performed well in the World Cup, but who knows if it's just a flash in the pan?
Moreover, the excellent performance of the Hong Kong Island team has no necessary connection with the quality of the Hong Kong Island professional football league.

"Tsk tsk, this guy's physical abilities are exceptionally good!"

Wu Feng naturally obtained Ronaldo's specific medical examination data immediately.

Looking at the meaning behind each number, I couldn't help but marvel.

The physical statistics of top athletes are not just hype.

All aspects of his physical functions have reached the limit level of ordinary people.

In particular, Ronaldo's advantage is even more pronounced in terms of explosive power, represented by his leg muscles.

After all, he was capable of running 100 meters with the ball in under 11 seconds. Among so many fast players in world football, Ronaldo is still one of the most dazzling.

Even though Ronaldo was only fifteen years old at the time, his performance on the training field when he was healthy still left his teammates speechless and amazed.

His ball control skills aren't perfect, but once he starts charging forward with the ball, even several people can't easily intercept him.

It lacked the domineering and expansive style of Kaka later on, but its impact was even more sharp, simply unbelievably strong.

Upon seeing Wu Feng appear, Da Luo's face clearly showed joy.

Clearly, Wu Feng's amazing performance in the World Cup was recognized and appreciated by Ronaldo.

He was naturally quite excited to have the opportunity to meet Wu Feng on the training field.

boom!
As a result, the moment the two made physical contact on the training field, Ronaldo, who was about to dribble forward, was sent flying and rolled several times on the grass before regaining his balance.

He didn't fake a fall. Although he was a little dizzy, he felt fine. He jumped up and asked loudly, his face full of shock, "What just happened?"
