"Yes! I yelled a curse word at the great Cristiano Ronaldo, but it was definitely not out of disrespect, but shock! I really didn't expect that Cristiano Ronaldo would call me personally! I couldn't believe it, my first reaction was that this was a joke, someone was impersonating my idol!"

"But Chris quickly said, don't be Farke, I'm really Cristiano Ronaldo. On behalf of Manchester United, I sincerely invite you and your twin brother Rafael to play for Manchester United. You don't have to care about anything or prepare anything. You just come here and I will arrange everything else for you."

"So, everything just happened. Rafael and I almost floated to Manchester United and came to play with the great Cristiano Ronaldo - although we didn't play side by side for a long time, only 18 months, but Chris's encouragement to my brothers and his role model on the training ground and the game field have benefited us brothers for life..."

As Manchester United's young full-backs, brothers Fabio and Rafael are highly coveted. Every Manchester United player likes this pair of young and powerful Brazilian brothers and takes great care of them.

Once, Liverpool's Gerrard was talking trash to young Fabio on the pitch. Before Fabio could react, Rooney slammed Gerrard onto the grass with his fist as big as a casserole.

It can be said that when the brothers Fabio and Rafael first came to Manchester United, they were absolutely the darlings of all Manchester United players and fans.

But unfortunately, despite Neville's personal guidance, despite working with the world's top defenders Rio Ferdinand and Vidic, and despite having world-class goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar behind them, the talented brothers Fabio and Rafael ultimately failed to develop into world-class defenders.

Their achievements are not even close to those of the Neville brothers.

They had high points and a high starting point. For a while, Rafael was even called a "team puller" by Manchester United fans. But the discerning Ferguson first gave up Fabio and loaned him to the Championship. During Moyes' time, the two brothers were put up for sale by Manchester United.

Manchester United's starting lineup today only gave the right-back position to brother Fabio, while the starting left-back position was given to the veteran, Third Master, Patrick Evra.

Why is Evra called "Uncle San"? First of all, it's because Evra wears the number 3 jersey. Secondly, Evra works very hard on the field and runs a lot. He plays football like a workaholic. He is also very straightforward and likes to take charge of things. He deserves the name "Uncle San" and the name "Uncle".

Evra is Manchester United's iron-blooded left-back. He often stays on the front line despite minor injuries. He also has a record of starting in the lineup for an entire season without missing a game.

Unlike many local Premier League stars, Evra, who was born in Senegal, had a very hard life since childhood.

When he was one year old, he was taken by his parents to flee to Belgium, and then fled to France. When he was 10 years old, his parents divorced. The family already had no food to eat, and after his father left irresponsibly, little Evra really went hungry three times a day.

Not to mention going to school, even playing football is a luxury. When I open my eyes every morning, I have to think about how I can get enough food that day.

Ultimately, it was football that gave Evra the meaning of life.

After Evra became famous, he told the media who flocked to interview him that if he hadn't played football on the street by chance, he would be a beggar in front of a bakery in Paris.

Evra fell in love with football after he came into contact with it on the street. He would rather go hungry than spend the time begging on playing football.

This level of fanaticism soon made him a bit of a street celebrity in the crime-ridden slums of Paris.

Soon, the young and malnourished Evra was spotted by a scout from a French Ligue 2 professional club. Evra was finally able to eat enough and began to receive formal training.

But even after being frustrated, Evra still did not give up playing football. He knew that only by becoming famous could he rescue his mother and brothers and sisters from their poor lives. Football was his hobby and also his opportunity to settle down and make a living.

A year later, Evra went to Italy for trial. After half a month of trial in Turin, the Torino club was not optimistic about Evra and was only willing to give Evra a semi-professional youth trainee contract.

Evra was extremely depressed and even doubted whether he was really suitable for this job. However, Evra did not give up in the face of setbacks. He mustered up his courage again, traveled across most of Italy alone, and came to the Marsala Club for a trial.

In the end, the inconspicuous Marsala club gave him a professional contract with the lowest price, and Evra finally started his professional career.

However, even at the beginning of his professional career, Evra's performance was very mediocre.

Whether at Marsala or at Monza where he subsequently moved, Evra failed to perform well enough to warrant a move to a bigger stage.

Evra was also very disappointed with himself, and even began to consider switching to selling football supplies to support his family.

After leaving Monza, Evra returned to France and joined Nice.

Evra no longer had any hope for himself in this joining. He just wanted to earn some salary while figuring out how to sell the product.

Joining Nice brought Evra a turn of events that he himself had not expected! Evra had been a striker since he started playing football in the streets of Paris slums, a striker in the youth training team, a striker in Marsala and Monza, and a striker when he joined Nice.

However, in a match in Nice, the team's main left-back was injured and could not continue, and Evra was the only left-footed player on the bench, so the Nice coach had to let Evra take over temporarily.

I thought Evra would play badly, but in the end, Evra, who was moved to the left back, played for only 15 minutes and then his life was enlightened! Evra's sense of space was greatly expanded in the left back position. Evra played with the sprint and dribbling of a striker!

Nice was originally 3 goals behind, but with Evra's breakthrough and instigation from the left, they scored 4 goals in a row and reversed the opponent! The opponent was stunned! They had never seen such a left-back, and they had never seen a left-back behind the striker!

After this game, Nice's head coach immediately positioned Evra as a left-back!

In the following matches, Evra started as a left-back and became the engine of Nice! Evra quickly became famous in Ligue 2! In the last game of Nice, he scored the winning golden goal for Nice to be promoted to Ligue 1!

In just half a season, Evra went from being a rubbish striker with the lowest weekly salary to a hot pursuit object of the giants! Evra's life is simply a template for a cool article! The peak is when you get wise! From then on, the world has one less rubbish striker and one less rubbish salesman, but one more world-class left-back!
