On Thursday, February 1, 2001, less than a month after Kaka recovered from his injury, three of the ten wishes he made on the hospital bed had come true, and now the fourth one is about to be realized.

This is the home court of Sao Paulo, the Molombian Stadium. The ongoing game is the first phase of the Rio-Sao Paulo Championship. The two sides are Sao Paulo and Botafogo, and the score on the field is 0-1.

In international practice, the home team is in front and the away team is in back, and Sao Paulo is one goal behind at home.

Brazil's football market is not good because domestic TV broadcasts are very developed, and people prefer to watch games and broadcast at home. Moreover, almost all the stars with a bit of fame in Brazil have been bought out by European giants. Currently, the more famous domestic football players are not some rising stars who are still in the growth stage or some former superstars who come back to retire, and their appeal is very limited.

So in addition to some more important games, the attendance rate of many domestic games in Brazil is very low. Even in the home game of Sao Paulo, a Brazilian La Liga powerhouse, the attendance rate of this game is only about two-thirds.

It doesn't sound like a lot, but Molombi Stadium has 80,000 seats, and two-thirds of the attendance rate has made many small clubs envious.

Sao Paulo, who was playing at home, was sneaked up by his opponent in the first ten minutes of the game. Then he attacked around the opponent's goal throughout the first half, but he didn't score. In the second half, the opponent who was leading one goal actually attacked abnormally. Sao Paulo, who should have taken the opportunity to tie the score, played very passively.

Alvarez walked around the sidelines, keeping yelling at the players on the court, but his team was still being hit.

"Sao Paulo encountered difficulties, and Alvarez seemed to have no choice. This was the strongest lineup he could have, but his players had no fighting spirit...shot! Wonderful save! Cheney's reaction was quick, he saved the team again, but you can't rely on a goalkeeper to win, they must make changes... Sure enough, Alvarez walked to the bench, and Sao Paulo was going to substitute."

"Sao Paulo players have gotten up to warm up, huh? Who is this? Well, kidding, of course I know who this is, I am a professional commentator... Wait, I'll look at the information first, oh, I found it, a midfielder produced by the Sao Paulo youth training camp, his name is Ricardo Izekson Dos Santo... Forget it, look at the back of the jersey, his name is Kaka, this year only, well, born in 1982, he is 19 years old, maybe 18 years old? This is his first game, Alvarez must be crazy, what Sao Paulo needs now is a hero, not a child, not every teenager is Ronaldo."

Of course, Alvarez didn't know that his decision to substitute had caused crazy complaints from the commentator. He is now trying to get a chance to Kakaer in the last time.

"Listen, Ricardo, I know that many people must think I'm crazy now, but I know I don't. You go up and tell Luis and let him take the opponent's last defender. I don't want to see him retreat again. And you, I believe in my own eyes, I believe you can do it. I need you to revitalize our middle lane, connect both sides by passing the ball, and you still have to run, just like you did in the training game, use your speed to mess up their midfield and pass the ball to the penalty area. Do you understand?"

“…I don’t understand.”

"God, then tell me, what do you plan to do after you come on stage?"

"Kick the ball into that damn goal."

"That's right, go warm up, remember, you're going to run..."

Kaka could no longer hear what Alvarez said later. His body seemed to be unable to control himself. His ears and mind were shouting from fans. Those people might be encouraging him or laughing at him, but he couldn't hear a word clearly, nor did he think clearly. He could feel that everyone's eyes were focused on him.

He warmed up as quickly as possible, then stood on the sidelines, and the fourth official raised the sign.

Under the 8th and Up the 23th.

The popular numbers from St. Paul have already had masters, from 7 to 11, and even 22 has been worn away. Kaka chose it and finally picked No. 23.

The flying boot door has not happened yet. Shuai Guobei is still Manchester United's No. 7. The number 23 has an influence in the sports world currently limited to the basketball field and has no special significance in football.

In addition, the name behind his jersey was originally written as "CACA". In terms of pronunciation, it is actually no different from "KAKA" that is familiar to fans all over the world. These two names do not exist in Portuguese, so there is actually no difference. However, the word "CACA" is a delicious word in languages ​​such as Spanish and Italian, so he changed "CACA" to "KAKA".

In the 58th minute of the game, the ball was out of bounds and St. Paul's substitution.

He slammed his teammates who were replaced, stepped out with his left foot, stepped into the court, half-squatted, brushed his right hand over the turf, stood up, then went up his right heel and trot forward.

Five thousand years later, it was finally my turn to play.

Unfortunately, the system is a hypocritical one and does not trigger achievements such as "first appearance in the arena".

Life is not a movie, Kaka's appearance seems plain and simple. In addition to the casual substitution introduction of DJ on the spot, there is only the confusion and doubts of the whole audience, no passionate exclusive BGM, no shameful inner monologue of middle school, and no large close-up that allows all viewers to see every hair clearly.

He was a little nervous inexplicably, feeling like he was dreaming.

The wind blows on your face, it is not cold, but it is a little hot.

The same is true for the heart.

Sparse applause in the stands sounded.

Kaka's parents and younger brother were sitting in the stands, and Falcao, Fred, Sanchez and other friends who played street football together also came to watch the game. At first, they didn't think Kaka had a chance to play, especially when the team was behind in the scores, everyone thought Kaka's debut was postponed, but who knew Kaka had a hurry to play when it was the most unlikely to play.

This coach either looks extremely disliked by Kaka, or has given up on the game and is completely dead. This is almost everyone's idea.

The game starts again.

Kaka was trembling a little.

A small part is because of tension, and most of it is because of excitement.

When they are in danger, they are all paying attention. Some people will tremble and collapse and surrender under this pressure, while others will soar against the current and soar into the sky under this motivation.

He knew that he was the latter one, and he could only be the latter one.

Because he is Kaka.

He is very modest, but that is just because of cultivation; he is very gentle, but that is just because of character.
Chapter completed!
