Chapter 65 Born to be a king, why not be afraid of wind and rain
On July 8, 2001, the World Youth Football Championship finals in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina.
This stadium can accommodate nearly 50,000 spectators, but the stadium seats have never been full since the start of the World Youth Championship. Even when the number of people is the largest, there are still thousands of seats empty.
But today, the final tickets are in short supply.
The weather is rare, with high sky and light clouds and warm sunshine.
FIFA President Blatt, who had just passed the crisis of get out of class, appeared in the VIP seat with his tired and slightly bloated body. Many well-known people from Argentina and Brazilian football also came to the scene to cheer for their young players.
Kaka has experienced two finals, but for him, neither the Rio-Saint Paul Cup final nor the Basil Championship final are comparable to today's game.
It is not the difference in the number of viewers or the strength of the opponent, but the mentality.
In Sao Paulo, no matter how good he performs, he is just a new star. People look forward to his future rather than his present. Whether it is good or bad, fans can look at it rationally.
For Salt Fish, this treatment is of course good. If you perform poorly, you don’t have to be scolded. If you perform well, you can be praised for your performance. It is simply a dream, but for a young man with a little ambition, this kind of dispensable state for the team is actually not ideal at all.
There is no sense of participation, or even presence.
But it's different now, it's different here.
He is no longer wearing the optional No. 23 jersey, but the No. 10 symbolizing the absolute core.
Not only will he be scolded if he fails to perform well, but he will also take the blame for his teammates' poor performance.
If you are not careful, you will be really sprayed like Xiang.
But Kaka enjoys this state very much.
Whether it is vanity or responsibility, he likes such roles very much, not because of his captain, but because of his sense of identity as an important member of the entire team.
I believe that anyone with a little enterprising spirit can understand or even yearn for this state.
An attitude towards life can be free from desires and demands, and you can be content with everything, but you must be brave enough to take responsibility and move forward in competition.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight. But when you are born as a king, why fear the wind and rain?
Kaka is the crown prince created by the media for the Brazilian national youth team. On the other hand, Argentina is not given this responsibility, but the number one scorer Saviola, who is called the rabbit by fans.
He has scored ten goals in this World Youth Championship, tying the individual goal record set by Brazilian player Adalton in the 1997 World Youth Championship. If this game can go further, he will create history and enjoy this honor exclusively.
In the player channel, Kaka could see the fighting spirit that was almost overflowing from his body through Saviola's eyes.
He has an impression of the player.
A career can be said to be successful, but it is hard to say it is brilliant.
At least looking forward from his current state and reputation, his future is not worthy of people's expectations of him.
As if he noticed Kaka's gaze, Saviola turned her head and looked at Kaka.
His height is about the same as Messi, and the two of them are moving forward again, so if he wants to look at Kaka, he has to... it seems that it is not appropriate to look up here?
Anyway, the people around me suddenly felt that they were reading comics, as if they could see the lightning splashing out in the air, and they seemed to hear crackling sounds in their ears.
But in fact, the communication between the two parties is very friendly.
The aura may be tit-for-tat, but the attitude is very peaceful.
Kaka nodded with laughter, withdrew her gaze and looked straight ahead.
He respects all opponents and will not belittle anyone. Saviola is also strong enough to be the strongest opponent of Kaka and Brazil in this game, but Kaka knows that Saviola will not be the highest mountain ahead of him.
After all, it's just a similar height.
...
Compared to Kaka's peace, Kolonic was a little angry.
This young defender who was booked by AC Milan before the start of the World Youth Championship is the absolute hero of the Argentine National Youth Team to successfully reach today. As a central defender, his main defensive targets today are not only Adriano and Robert, but also Kaka, a non-mainstream midfielder with a strong impact.
As the captain, he hopes that Kaka will act like a big enemy when facing him, rather than a posture of "only Saviora is my opponent."
Kaka didn't know that he had been labeled as arrogant. He lost to the Argentine captain who was very emotional in his coin guessing, gave up the right to pick the side and obtained the right to kick off the ball.
"Spectators, welcome to join me to the finals of the 13th World Youth Championship. The competition is about to begin. Let's take a look at the starting list of both sides.
"Brazil still plays with double strikers, namely the first and second scorers Adriano and Robert, and behind them are Brazil's captain Kaka, two wing forwards Leo and Costa, single midfielder Baptista, four defenders Macon, Anderson, Angelo, Edua, and goalkeeper Rubinho.
"Argentina continued the 3322 formation of the last game, with goalkeeper Lukes, three defenders being Burdiso, Koloto and captain Kolonic, three drag-back midfielders Alca, Romagnori, Andreas Alessandro, two midfielders Maxi Rodriguez and Poncio, forwards Saviola and Herrera.
"It is worth mentioning that Domingos, an Argentine player who scored a winning goal against the Chinese team, did not appear on the team's roster. He was maliciously fouled by French player Mendy in the Argentina against France, and was seriously injured rarely in the history of the World Youth Championship. I believe that friends who have watched that game are all impressed by that scene, so we also hope that both sides can maintain restraint in this final, even if they are Brazil and Argentina..."
"The game has begun, Brazil kicks off first, Adriano passes the ball to..."
Adriano passed the ball to Robert, and Robert passed it back to Kaka, who gave the side to Costa, and then came to Baptista's feet after a while.
Baptista did not go back, but passed the ball to Kaka who came to meet him.
But Kaka's catch was not smooth. Alka posted on him as soon as the game started and suddenly grabbed the ball when Kaka was about to touch the ball. Fortunately, Kaka was very focused and ran two more steps to control the ball under her feet.
The two of them entangled in the midfield, Kaka relied on his skillfulness to protect the ball, and then passed the ball to the right when Rodriguez was about to come up and attack.
It was not the wing forward Costa who received the ball, but the full-back Macon.
Everyone who has watched this Brazilian team match has an idea in their minds.
here we go again.
Chapter completed!
