Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

A hospital in Gothenburg.

Wearing a hospital gown, Almir said, "Don't tell him yet. I know Wright too well. If I tell him now, he absolutely won't be able to continue playing."

"I don't want him to miss such an important moment. This UEFA Cup title is crucial for the team and for him personally."

Deng Kai, who was standing nearby, spoke up: "But this surgery has certain risks, and he should be notified."

Almir shook his head: "I know my situation. I can clearly feel myself declining this year. I don't dare tell him, and I don't dare go to the hospital myself."

"Even if I die on the operating table tomorrow, I hope he can finish the game and come to my funeral."

Deng Kai nodded: "In my hometown, there is a very important exam called the college entrance examination. Similar situations also occur there, which I don't understand and strongly disagree with."

Almir laughed: "I don't understand the college entrance exam, but as a father, I understand parents. Parents all over the world would make the same choice as me."

"Thank you for taking care of Wright over the past two years. I can feel his progress, especially in terms of mindset and mental well-being."

"I know he's talented, but I've always been worried about his mentality. His mental strength is far less than his physical strength, but with your help, I now believe he can become a world-class superstar!"

Deng Kai shook his head: "No, Mr. Almir. There's only one reason why Adriano became a world-class superstar..."

"That's you."

"So for Ade's sake, you must persevere."

"He'll come to you with the championship trophy!"

"I promise!"

"You have to promise too! Is that okay?"

a long time.

Almir's choked voice came from the hospital room: "I...I promise...Thank...thank you...Kai..."

……

Adriano's father, Almir, was diagnosed with a serious heart condition and other complications during this medical examination, which could be fatal.

But there are even more deadly ones.

Twelve years ago, a gang shootout took place in the Cruzeiro favela in Rio de Janeiro.

Almir, who was passing by, was unfortunately hit in the head by a stray bullet.

Fortunately, he did not lose his life as a result.

Unfortunately, the bullet compressed a nerve in his head, and at the time it was neither possible nor feasible to remove it.

This, along with heart disease, became the culprit that led to Almir's death on July 25th of this year, when he witnessed his son leading the team to victory in the Copa America and reaching the pinnacle of his life.

Whether it's a heart attack or this bullet, it's time to address both.

Every day that was delayed increased the chances of Almia's successful surgery.

One of Adriano's strong motivations for playing football was to give his father a good life and keep him healthy.

Almir, however, did not want to become a burden to Adriano.

He wanted to solve all the problems once and for all.

Manchester City was able to connect him with the best doctors in the world for this type of surgery.

His chances of survival are as high as 75 percent, even higher than Adriano's penalty kick accuracy!

But... that remaining 25% is a 25% that no one can afford to gamble on.

……

That evening, Deng Kai returned to the team and ran into Adriano while having dinner.

"Hey, Kai, what did you do this afternoon? Everyone says they haven't seen you," Ade said as he came over to greet him.

"Thank you, Ade. My father said he had a very pleasant chat with you this afternoon." Deng Kai made room for Ade.

"And me? Did Uncle mention me?" Fonte asked eagerly from the side.

In the afternoon, he and Ade received Deng Kai's relatives and friends.

Ade is good.

Everyone knows about the sophisticated sycophancy tactic of "befriending the leader's family."

"Thank you all, I took care of some team matters this afternoon." Deng Kai hadn't originally planned to bring up this topic.

Who knew Fonte would insist on chatting: "Oh, thank you for your hard work. Aldridge's father didn't come to see him today, and he's really down. How about the Celtics let me start center in the finals?"

Fonte made a joke.

But neither of the two people listening to the joke laughed.

"Um...where is your father?" Deng Kai asked.

Ade shrugged, somewhat angrily, and said, "The flight was delayed. It was delayed due to a layover in some place called...

"I'm speechless! I've told him so many times not to fly with budget airlines because they're unsafe, but he just won't listen!"

"Who are you saving that little bit of money for? He'll get into trouble because of it someday, and that'll teach him a lesson!"

"He can't make it in time this time. At such a crucial moment, he actually... I'm so angry with him!"

That's what they say, but Ade's worries are completely obvious.

His lips were somewhat pale.

Deng Kai immediately took out his phone; he was the only player on the team with the right to communicate freely before such an important game.

"Hello, please connect me to Mr. Mansour. Yes, I have an emergency... Mansour, Ad's father encountered a minor issue during his layover... Yes, I mainly need to help confirm the details."

"The most important thing is personal safety... Okay, I'll wait for your reply."

Amid Adebayo's grateful gaze, Deng Kai said, "It's really not a big deal that I can't watch this game."

"The Copa America is this year."

"We will also participate in the Champions League next year."

"The World Cup is the year after next."

"There are too many important matches to wait for; there will be plenty of time for your father to witness them together in the future, won't there?"

Ade hesitated, wanting to say that his father's health condition might not be very optimistic, and that he might not have many opportunities in the future.

"As long as your father doesn't have any other problems over there, everything will be fine."

A few minutes later, Deng Kai's phone rang.

"Hmm... I've checked into the best hotel in town... Okay... It's alright... Thank you, Mansour!" Deng Kai hung up the phone and then said to Ade, "Don't worry, Mr. Mansour has sent a private jet to pick up your father. You might be able to see him after the match."

But whether it's life or death... is another matter.

On the other end of the phone.

As soon as Maksa hung up the phone, his wife asked, "What's going on? Why did you call Mansour? Who called you?"

Max explained, "It's Kai. He must have something important he needs me to cover for him. You wouldn't understand the unspoken understanding between men."

Maksa's wife smiled, then suddenly untied her bathrobe, revealing sexy black stockings, and walked towards him: "Really? Do you understand the unspoken understanding between husband and wife?"

"Darling! Stop conquering Europe, come and conquer me instead!"

Maksa's wife rushed over.

Then Maxa flipped it over.

Maxa walked to the tea table: "I'm not conquering Europe for sure, my main goal right now is to conquer this pile of Pu'er tea. If I can brew Pu'er tea that tastes like Moutai, Kai will be very happy!"

He is allergic to baijiu (Chinese liquor).

boom!

Maxa's wife threw a pillow at him: "You're fucking allergic to romance! You damn cleaner!"
