Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

The boy frowned and looked up at the middle-aged man.

The man handed the boy a business card: "Hello, I don't sell newspapers, and I'm not a scammer. Please allow me to briefly introduce myself. My name is Trigár, and I'm the head coach of Sporting Lisbon, a powerhouse in the Portuguese Super League."

"Yes, it's Sporting Lisbon, the team that defeated Inter Milan with Ronaldo and Barcelona with Rivaldo this season to win the UEFA Cup treble!"

Don't underestimate the impact of this self-introduction on a Brazilian.

It's not that the whole world speaks Chinese.

It's the name in this passage.

Ronaldo, Rivaldo!

Two FIFA World Player of the Year winners! Ballon d'Or winners! The glory of Brazilian football! The two current gods of Brazilian football!

To be able to beat both of them in one season... any Brazilian will listen to you keep bragging, then expose your lies and beat you up.

But the boy knew this was not a lie.

As a Brazilian player, given the current situation, you might not know the Portuguese league, but you can't be unaware of Sporting Lisbon.

The image on the television screen gradually overlapped with the face in front of him, and the boy confirmed the other person's identity: "Mr... Mr. Trigler! You..."

Trigra laughed: "Ricardo Inzekson dos Santos Lett, I'll just call you Inzelet for short."

"We've reached an agreement with São Paulo, acquiring ownership of you at a price they couldn't refuse. Now I need your opinion: are you willing to accept this ticket to Lisbon?"

"I do!" The boy's voice was exceptionally loud, attracting the attention of those around him. Only then did the fans realize that this seemed to be Ricardo, the rising star of their team who had a history of injuries.

"It's great to have you here, Inzeret." Trigra breathed a sigh of relief. "You saved my KPIs! Would it be convenient for us to go to your house now and talk to your family?"

The boy offered to lead the way: "Of course it's convenient, but... my friends usually call me Kaka."

Triguera: "Kaka? Nice name! But this means you can't play in Serie A anymore."

Kaka: "Why?"

Trigra: "Because the pronunciation of 'kaka' in Italian means 'poop'."

Kaka: "That's unfortunate, but I doubt any Serie A team would be interested in me. By the way, what did you mean when you said I saved your KPIs?"

Triguera: "If I can't bring you back to Portugal, Director Kai will probably complain about me a lot..."

Kaka: "Director Ke? I haven't watched the Portuguese league matches. Are you talking about the European Bronze Boot winner?"

Triguera: "No, no, no, that's Cristiano Ronaldo, our best striker. But compared to Ke, there's still a significant gap and shortcomings. Ke was last season's European assist leader! He's our team's super leader and absolute core, he is..."

Cristiano Ronaldo: ? ? ?

……

Soon, the announcement of the Kaka trade being completed was learned by the American media.

The Rio-São Paulo Intercontinental Championship winner and MVP of the final has landed in European football, and his first stop is the newly crowned treble champion!

Four million euros! São Paulo star Ricardo joins Sporting Lisbon!

Quaresma's Replacement? Ricardo Inzekson dos Santos-Leite's Highlights This Season!

Although his name is Ricardo, this Brazilian player's playing style is more like Viana's—straightforward but lacking in technique, unlike a typical Brazilian player!

Don't be too happy yet! Sporting Lisbon's new signing suffered a serious injury last September, nearly becoming paralyzed!

No wonder it only sold for four million! Sporting Lisbon was tricked by São Paulo; did the latter deliberately conceal the players' injury history?

Sporting Lisbon's transfer record this season is terrible! They paid four million euros—four times the original amount—to permanently buy out a Barcelona goalkeeper, setting a new record by paying another four million euros for a player with lower limb paralysis!

After Kaka's transfer was revealed, the public opinion shifted in a way that he had never anticipated.

Not only the media, but even Sporting Lisbon's own fans completely disapprove of the deal.

No one can accept a player who "may become paralyzed in the lower limbs".

Kaka's sunny face was clouded with gloom. In unfamiliar Lisbon, he could only seek a sliver of security through training.

However, this also allowed him to meet a good friend – Cristiano Ronaldo, who had also returned to the team for training early.

Kaka: You're so fast!

Cristiano Ronaldo: You're not slow either.

Kaka: Your shooting accuracy is amazing!

Cristiano Ronaldo: Your aim is good too.

Kaka: You brought the best food!

Cristiano Ronaldo: ? ? ?

Kaka soon lost this friendship.

Kaka: Sorry, Cristiano Ronaldo. I thought our friendship had reached the point where we could speak our true feelings to each other.

Cristiano Ronaldo: It's okay, Kaka, because from this moment on, you have completely lost my respect.

Kaka: So what does this have to do with you tripping over a ball while you were cycling?

Cristiano Ronaldo: 凸(-皿-)！

……

Just when everyone thought Sporting Lisbon's summer signings were over.

Sporting Lisbon suddenly became the king at the end of the transfer window.

This time, they finally stopped picking up bargains, or rather, stopped buying players that others didn't want.

They actually dared to steal it!

Sporting Lisbon's summer transfer record signing has been revealed! A €15 million move to snatch a player from Paris Saint-Germain is a classic example!

Portuguese clubs rob PSG! Is the allure of the top five European leagues really less than that of a shady business?

The treble-winning title proves its power! A key player's promise to join the Champions League swayed the Brazilian starlet to leave Paris for Lisbon!

Ricardo has done it again; Sporting Lisbon has welcomed Brazil's Ronaldo this time!

"Brazil's Ronaldo arrives in Lisbon, putting the Portuguese imposter Chris in an awkward position!"

France Football: Paris Saint-Germain condemns Grêmio for their lack of integrity, disregard for first-come, first-served principle, and disregard for player transfer rules!

Gremio: Paris Saint-Germain are reluctant to pay, they're trying to renege on their debts! Sporting Lisbon are a million times more willing and of higher quality partners!

Paris Saint-Germain: Gremio's capricious behavior, repeatedly overturning agreements and demanding higher transfer fees, we cannot tolerate such blackmail!

Record reports that Ronaldo de Assis Moreira prefers to join Paris Saint-Germain, but he has no time to wait for the two sides to stall, and the repeated delays in signing have made him uneasy.

Dongqiudi: The Brazilian Ronaldo who joined Sporting Lisbon is actually named Ronaldinho! This name means "Little Ronaldo"!

"Dongqiudi: Are you calling all these Ronaldos the right ones? The Ronaldo of 1976 is Ronaldo the Big Ronaldo, the Ronaldinho of 1980 is Ronaldinho the Little Ronaldo, and the Cristiano Ronaldo of 1985 should be called Cristiano Ronaldo!"

Dongqiudi: No wonder Deng Kai named Chris "C Ronaldo" (CR7); Deng Kai's foresight ensured that Ronaldo wouldn't have to be a "little brother"!

Dongqiudi: A compilation of Ronaldinho's highlights from the past year – I would call him a football genius!

Dongqiudi: Deng Kai welcomes Ronaldinho and Kaká to Sporting Lisbon and looks ahead to next season: Let winning titles become a habit! Strive to advance from the Champions League group stage!

With this, Sporting Lisbon's signings for the season have come to an end.

The team has begun preparations for the new season.

"Ding!"

"You've had a fantastic season! Season rating: SSS!"

I like playing football on the ground: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him.
