Chapter 240
During the summer transfer window in Spain, all the major clubs are busy recruiting and strengthening their teams, and every deal is reported in the sports newspapers.
Real Madrid is always one of the clubs that dares to make drastic reforms during the summer transfer window. This summer, the most shocking deal appeared in Real Madrid.
As a veteran player of Real Madrid, the meritorious captain Raul left the Bernabeu, and Guti also left at the same time.
The captain and vice-captain of Real Madrid left the team at the same time, which was expected, but also made many fans sad and heartbroken - the players' age and decline in form are inevitable, and Real Madrid is a giant ship that never stops, and only those top players who can follow and ride the wind and waves will ever go on deck.
But deep in the hearts of the club's fans, perhaps they always hope that whether it is Raul or Guti, when they leave the Bernabeu, it will be the day of their glorious retirement, rather than a departure.
"I love Real Madrid," Raul said at the final press conference, looking at all the reporters. "I am willing to give everything for it and I am always ready. When I clearly realized that there were more young people who could do better than me, I knew it was time for me to leave. The team needed fresh blood, and I am very happy to see that a new galactic battleship is setting sail. I am also very honored that I have been involved in the history of this great club and witnessed its glory."
He gave the number seven to Cristiano Ronaldo.
Number seven is the soul of Real Madrid. In fact, he didn't know who would be more suitable for No. 7 than Cristiano. Cristiano has the chivalry that fits Real Madrid perfectly and has brought them huge reversals time and time again in the game.
Benzema got the No. 9 jersey that originally belonged to Cristiano.
After the two transfers, Real Madrid also made some transfers to strengthen the team. The most notable one was the introduction of James Rodriguez, the Colombian player who scored the best goal in this World Cup.
He stopped the ball with his chest, turned around and volleyed it. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, making all the World Cup fans scream wildly.
At James' welcome ceremony, the Colombian with a particularly superior appearance was welcomed by his teammates, but the protagonist of the ceremony was excited and nervous and only stared at one person -
To be honest, until now he still has a kind of unreal trance. He really won himself the opportunity to play on the same team with Ronaldo. Standing in front of him is the living Cristiano Ronaldo. He can reach him at all times. He does not need to drive 500 kilometers to get a chance to get close to the other party.
James took a deep breath, and only he could hear how fast his heart was beating.
"Hey James, how are you?"
James heard the Portuguese superstar greet him cordially, as if they had known each other for a long time, and he subconsciously blurted out: "Hello, Chris...Cristiano."
James almost bit his tongue. He almost called out such an intimate name so smoothly. I hope Cristiano doesn't mind.
Cristiano smiled and put his arm around the Colombian's shoulders. James was just as he remembered, quiet, but there was an emotion in his eyes that was more intense than quiet.
"You can call me Chris, or something else you want to call me?" Cristiano joked. He winked at the Colombian who was obviously a little nervous and had not yet integrated into the team, then opened his arms and hugged him. "Welcome to Real Madrid."
"...Thank you, Chris." James took a deep breath and hugged Cristiano tightly. He tried not to look like a fool who was about to faint with joy. He tried his best to stay calm. Oh my God, this is Cristiano!
After James finished speaking, he sadly discovered that he could not find any more sounds.
He didn't know what else to say. For the first time, he was so angry that he was not good at speaking, and Cristiano quickly turned to his other teammates.
Marcelo was saying something interesting that made Cristiano laugh so hard that his eyes were almost squeezed into two slits. His smile was a bit silly and childish, completely different from the Cristiano we saw in the game.
James watched everything that happened on the field greedily with some surprise and joy.
He didn't know how many times he had called out the name of God in his heart in just less than half an hour of meeting, but he had to sigh once again - God, this is incredible, the real Cristiano is even more perfect than the Cristiano who he had tried hard to piece together from all aspects.
In just a few days of training, James added more new details to his "Cristiano Observation Diary" -
He is a humble person. He is very nice to every staff member of the club. He is very responsible for his own body, whether it is training, massage therapy, or how to control food and nutrition intake. His knowledge is amazing. He knows a lot and is an expert in various aspects, but he always maintains an open-minded and studious attitude.
- When James talks to the club's nutritionists and physiotherapists, the topic always turns to Cristiano, which is why he can quickly fill those huge gaps in just a few days.
James is happy to get to know Cristiano in every way, just as he has done in past years.
"He does always attract people's attention. Liking him and admiring him is like something natural like breathing, right James?" Kaka said standing next to James. He noticed that Colombians often kept their eyes on Cristiano. He was a little surprised, but it seemed expected.
He had never been a teammate of James. When James came to Real Madrid in his previous life, he had already left this galactic battleship early. He never had the opportunity to see the shining appearance of this battleship, but he had met him several times on some occasions later, such as at the award ceremony and at Cristiano's funeral.
Kaka is well aware of the magic of working with Cristiano as a teammate. Cristiano always makes people unconsciously attracted and conquered. Those who love him love him like a blazing flame, while those who hate him are also numerous, and their jealousy is like venom that can corrode their bones.
The Colombian in front of him was willing to stay for Cristiano's Real Madrid for a season, even if he had to sit on the bench, so he was not surprised at all when he saw him standing quietly in the shadow of a tree not far away at Cristiano's funeral, neither moving forward nor willing to leave.
And now, the younger James Rodriguez in front of him is so fanatical and immature, collecting everything about Cristiano, like a reckless number one fan, which will not surprise Kaka at all.
This time, James' shining moment came earlier. A younger and more promising talented player who can play as an attacking midfielder and also as a winger would be something that no one would not want, so Real Madrid acted without hesitation.
Real Madrid will always be rich, even if they already have Kaka.
Florentino has never concealed his love for Kaka. Kaka was the first superstar he signed for the second phase of the Galacticos. Before he could successfully break up Cristiano with the old man at Old Trafford, he had easily won the hearts and support of the vast majority of Real Madrid fans with Kaka.
But for Florentino, he had a greater and more ambitious vision. He greedily put one genius after another into their bench, just like poisonous insects were put together to fight. Only the strongest were qualified to survive, and the eliminated ones were like abandoned old machines and sold to the next owner.
Real Madrid has never lacked talents. This is something Kaka learned in his previous life. Perhaps when he was young, he was proud of his achievements, but now he has long understood that he is just one of them.
This has never been a healthy ecological environment. It is like a huge dream web, interwoven with golden joy, as well as dark nightmares and pressure. Kaka only saw a pure white soul in this huge web, like the center. When he approached, he felt his heart return to peace.
He is completely different from Cristiano. Cristiano thrives like a weed in a compressed space. He pushes away boulders, breaks through shackles, and tears apart the haze like a storm. But it is these differences that make them attracted to each other. They can find a trace of blessing-like tranquility and yearning in each other, which is like the most primitive driving force, slowly approaching each other.
Kaka didn't know why he came to James and said this. He saw the Colombian looking at him in surprise. He thought he would be embarrassed and at a loss, just like he was in front of Cristiano. But in fact, the Colombian with dazzling tattoos on his arms was a little surprised, but he just nodded calmly, and then smiled and asked unceremoniously: "You too, Kaka?"
"I've watched your games, they were very good. I will work hard to be as good as you one day. You are a very good senior." James said seriously.
Real Madrid had one Kaka but wanted more.
James is hoping in his heart that he can give Cristiano an assist, make Cristiano laugh, help Cristiano lift the trophy, and let them shine together in Real Madrid.
Kaka looked at the other party and said: "It's not easy, but it's not impossible. I think we both have the same goal."
James nodded slightly.
There is no one who does not look forward to leaving his or her own shining mark in such a historic and prestigious club. Even if it is as short-lived as a shooting star, it is what they strive for with all their might.
