Chapter 191

Cristiano's answer made the reporters in the player tunnel silent for a few seconds. No one could have expected that the Portuguese would say something so unexpected yet seemingly in line with the other party's temperament.

When a person is good enough, rebelliousness and arrogance become compliments. When a person is almost perfect, then this becomes his armor.

Modric and Benzema walked behind Cristiano. They were originally blocked by reporters. They were about to turn into the player tunnel and leave first, and then they heard Chris's answer -

"I don't follow the record, the record follows me."

Modric was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look in the direction where the sound came from.

But he was blocked by layers of reporters holding microphones and photographers carrying equipment. He couldn't see Cristiano, but he could almost imagine how the Portuguese who said this looked with raised eyebrows and a radiant look, and how arrogant and irrefutable he was.

The Portuguese man is qualified to do this, Modric thought to himself, and his gaze was filled with a hint of eagerness, envy, and curiosity.

He has been watching Cristiano.

He was watching Cristiano when they were both in England, partly because he had to intercept the opponent's attack, and it was inevitable that he would focus on Cristiano for most of the time on the court.

Off the field, he still remembers the opponent asking him to swap jerseys after the game. The Portuguese are indeed proud, but they do not look down on anyone. This is what left an impression on him. Later, he stood up for an opponent and demanded respect, and got involved in a dispute with Tottenham fans.

The Portuguese's actions are always surprising, but Modric must admit that he is indeed somewhat grateful, and the choice to join Real Madrid is largely because he knows that the Portuguese's joining is a sure thing.

He kind of wanted to be Cristiano's teammate. There is no midfielder who doesn't like a striker who can help him improve his stats. What's more, he is indeed full of curiosity about Cristiano and wants to explore him - this is normal. There is no one who will not be attracted to a guy with this kind of personality, who is wanton and arrogant. The good and the bad are all so naked and frankly exposed, with no intention of hiding.

After less than a season together, the Croatian already knew that he knew Cristiano well enough. The Portuguese could easily see through him.

He does not pretend to be humble to hide his desire for victory and his ambition to become the best in history. He is not afraid of ridicule and ridicule. He nakedly makes his goals and ambitions public, which is regarded as arrogant and rebellious.

There is a fire in Cristiano's body, burning very brightly but not burning people. Yet it is dazzling and makes people want to get closer. It is like an instinct, people chase after light.

Modric thought to himself that he would love to be Cristiano's friend, but the Portuguese seemed to have too many friends around him.

Or maybe there are too many guys who like to be close to Cristiano. Modric narrowed his eyes. He has indeed observed Cristiano for a long time, so he knows better that some people are more interested in physical closeness than emotional closeness.

He noticed that Cristiano rarely refused physical contact and was as submissive as a puppy, liking to open his belly and enjoy being stroked and loved by others. But in the blink of an eye, the puppy would pat his butt, turn over neatly, shake his fur and run away happily, regardless of the life or death of the person petting the dog.

Like a lovable, but absolutely self-centered, love-hate Japanese Shiba Inu.

He dared to say that there were only a few people that the Portuguese really cared about and were close to. He was not sure if he would have the chance to be one of them, but he guaranteed that the Brazilian was definitely one of them.

Benzema walked right past the reporters and photographers, standing in the crowd and looking at Cristiano.

The handsome man who was being targeted by several microphones and surrounded was sweating all over and seemed to be glowing under the lights in the venue. Cristiano's white jersey and face were all covered with sweat, mud, and grass clippings, but this did not affect Cristiano's appearance in the photographer's lens at all.

Benzema took advantage of his height to glance at the camera in front of him. Ha, Cristiano, shiny cricri…

Benzema touched his chin and then the corner of his mouth. He assisted Cristiano twice today. He could hardly control the upturned corners of his mouth. He had to keep a low profile and go back to the locker room first.

Kaka was not surprised to hear his lover's remarks. He guessed that Cristiano was already tired of the same questions from reporters and media. Whether now or in the past, his lover was always asked the same questions, and this answer was enough to shut up the media for a while.

He raised the corners of his mouth. It was not appropriate for him to pull Cristiano away openly in front of so many reporters at this moment. He walked beside his former teammates, looking absent-mindedly at the reporters frequently.

He noticed Mourinho standing over his boy, looking increasingly fed up, pushing through the crowd as if to carry Cristiano away.

Kaka looked away with relief upon seeing this. Even though he didn't like Mourinho very much, and Mourinho didn't necessarily like him that much either, he knew that at least the other party admired Cristiano. Perhaps it was a sense of like-mindedness? At least it means he doesn't have to worry about what Cristiano might suffer under Mourinho's nose.

Gattuso seemed to be completely unaware of Kaka's indecision. He had been staying by Kaka's side since he exchanged jerseys with Kaka.

He glanced at Cristiano, then took Kaka in his arms, covered his mouth with his other hand and muttered softly: "Does your kid not know how to write the word low-key?"

"What?" Kaka didn't react and asked subconsciously.

Gattuso glanced at Kaka and saw that his friend's eyes were curved, as if he had just regained his composure.

He rolled his eyes to the sky: "Cristiano Ronaldo, I'm talking about him, doesn't he know how to be humble?"

"He is indeed humble, my friend, but humbleness does not mean keeping a low profile," Kaka corrected gently.

Gattuso raised his eyebrows at Kaka and snorted in confusion.

Kaka and his friends walked towards the locker room, his expression relaxed, with a smile that he didn't even realize was on his face: "People tend to only see his confident side, notice his shining appearance, and think that this is his arrogance, but in fact, he just likes it this way, this is his personality, he doesn't intend to change himself because of other people's preferences, but this doesn't mean he lacks humility."

"He respects his teammates, the coaches, the team and the staff who can help and improve him. He is always learning, and many people can't see this. I think it may be because most people don't have the opportunity to stay with him for so long, observe him and understand him." Kaka said.

Gattuso pinched the tip of his nose. He somewhat understood what Kaka meant, but he also tasted a deeper meaning -

"Kaka, what are you showing off?" he asked.
