"All the first round of the National Championships have ended today. Twenty-six teams participated in this year's National Championships, using a single loop, and the top eight finally advanced to the playoffs..."

The news about the first round of the game that just ended was playing on the TV.

Of course, no one watched TV, it was just the background sound in this room.

Kaka was sitting in this living room, and he didn't care at all what was placed in the TV.

What he cared more about was the person sitting in front of him.

His teammate who was once in Sao Paulo, his senior, is now Leonardo, a scout at AC Milan Club.

"I convinced Galliani, Kaka. AC Milan Club decided to introduce you this summer, Kaka!"

When he said this, Leonardo seemed very excited and proud, because it was indeed his credit.

AC Milan is indeed interested in Kaka, but they did not make a decision to introduce Kaka this summer.

It was Leonardo who had been trying to convince them. Finally, Galliani nodded and expressed his willingness to consider introducing Kaka this summer.

At this time, only Kaka agrees, and there is basically no problem with things.

Instead of telling Kaka on the phone, he chose to come to Kaka's house and tell him the news in person, just to show his solemnity.

He originally thought Kaka would be very happy too.

Who doesn’t want to play football in Brazil, as long as you have some ability and talent?

Not to mention a world-class giant like AC Milan?

During his brief period in Sao Paulo, Leonardo introduced AC Milan to Kaka. He said AC Milan was the best wealthy family in the world, full of humanity and brilliant historical achievements. They are still a well-known Italian team.

Judging from Kaka’s feedback, Leonardo also knows that Kaka is very willing to join AC Milan.

He is even willing to join AC Milan.

Now in European football, some other teams are also competing for Kaka, but Leonardo knows Kaka's intentions, so he has always been confident.

He believes that Kaka must also hope to join AC Milan as soon as possible.

No one knows when the old fox Galliani will change his mind again.

So join AC Milan early and make this a mature meal, so everyone can feel at ease.

But Leonardo saw Kaka frowned, as if he was still hesitating!

"What's wrong, Kaka? Is there any problem?" he asked quickly.

Kaka shook her head: "No, no, no problem. I want to thank you, Leonardo. I know you have put in a lot of effort to make me go to Europe."

Kaka gracefully thanked Leonardo.

Seeing him say this, Leonardo felt relieved and waved his hand: "I also hope you can show yourself on a bigger stage, Kaka. You know, Brazil is too small and is no longer suitable for you to stay here. Haven't you noticed that your progress has slowed down during this period? What does this mean? It means that there is no point in staying in Brazil. You need to go to Europe and go to the highest-level arena in the world to be challenged and tested. Only in this way can you continue to improve!"

Hearing Leonardo's words, Kaka fell silent again.

Of course he knew that what Leonardo was right, and he also felt that his progress was slow during this period.

He was deprived of the starting position not only because he needed a rest, but during the training camp, his performance was not as good as a glory, but also had to be admitted.

But if there is no glory, this problem will not be magnified to the point where he loses his starting qualification.

Because even if his progress is slow, he is still the fastest-progressing and strongest player in Sao Paulo.

None of these young men, including Baptista and Luis Fabiano, can compare with him.

But when there is glory, the situation suddenly becomes different.

The rookie who suddenly became a member of the St. Paul youth team seven months ago... His progress was like a Rockets!

His appearance made Kaka feel pressure.

When Kaka thought of glory, his father's words sounded: "Praise."

It was not the disgust and disdain of Renaldo, nor was it jealousy, but the competitive spirit.

It is a competitive spirit that does not want to be surpassed by glory, does not want to be left behind by glory, and does not want to be stronger than glory.

The root lies in one's inner pride and persistence.

I am Kaka, God’s most devout believer. I can’t be worse than others. I must do the best!

I want to be Sao Paulo... no, the best player in the whole of Brazil!

Thinking of this, Kaka raised her head again.

The confusion in his previous eyes had disappeared, replaced by clear and firm eyes.

Even Leonardo was stunned when he saw Kaka's eyes.

"I'm very grateful for your help, Leonardo. But sorry, I want to stay in Brazil for another year." He said with a natural and calm expression.

Leonardo was shocked and asked in a conditioned reflex: "Why?"

How many Brazilian players dream of going to Europe, especially to a giant team like AC Milan!

Why does Kaka give up now when he has this opportunity?

"Why should I stay for another year, Kaka? You have to know that this is not something you can decide. You can stay for another year now, but if AC Milan doesn't want you next year, it's not as easy as staying for another year..." Leonardo didn't know why Kaka made such a decision. He tried his best to persuade Kaka, hoping that he would change his mind.

In his opinion, Kaka's decision to "stay for one more year" is undoubtedly very stupid.

"I firmly believe that in a year, I will let AC Milan buy mine without hesitation, Leonardo." Kaka showed his confidence.

Because he had made a decision, he would stay here for another year, he would compete head-on with Rongguang, and he did not want to lose to Rongguang.

Compete with Rongguang for the past year... How will I make progress?

Even he himself was looking forward to it.

So this idea became more and more firm.

"Why? There must be a reasonable reason, right?"

"I don't want to be a deserter, Leonardo. Someone challenged me. If I just ran away like this, he would definitely be ridiculed."

Leonardo is also very concerned about Sao Paulo and Kaka, so he can't not know about the glory. It's just that he never took that Chinese rookie to heart before. A beginner who has only been learning football for several months is not worthy of leaving a deep impression on him.

The newspaper also said that Glory would challenge Kaka. But even the media thought it was nonsense and did not report it in large quantities, so it did not cause any public opinion trend. Leonardo felt that this was simply the nonsense of a rookie who was not clear about the situation and had no value of attention.

He doesn't believe that a rookie can challenge the talented star Kaka, who is a rookie in Brazil.

But now he looked at Kaka with a calm face.

What he thought was impossible happened happened!

No...this is impossible!

Something must have been wrong?

By the way, maybe Kaka sat on the bench in the game just ended, so he had such an illusion?

Leonardo understood the crux of the matter, so he continued to persuade Kaka: "You don't have to take him to heart, Kaka. Even if you sit on the bench in a game, it's no big deal. Everyone has time to be a substitute. Compared to this, going to Europe is more important..."

"No, Leonardo. I've felt the threat."

When Leonardo was shocked to speak for a while when he heard Kaka's words.

That... the rookie actually made Kaka feel threatened?

But how is this possible? How could he have such ability?

"You are too anxious, Kaka. You are too pursuing perfection... You don't have to be so cruel to yourself. In fact, no matter from technical statistics, the view of the game, or even from common sense that has nothing to do with football, no one thinks that rookie can threaten you, Kaka."

Kaka shook her head: "This is the test of the Lord on me, Leonardo. I cannot choose to escape. I feel that I must complete this test, otherwise I will stagnate forever."

Kaka is a devout evangelical believer. When he brings out the Lord to speak, it often means that his firm determination is unshakable.

Because this is the will of the Lord, he cannot violate the will of the Lord.

Leonardo is also a devout believer, and he knows this very well.

So in the end he gave up and continued to persuade Kaka.

"Okay, I understand what you want, Kaka. I will convince Galliani to restart the transfer one year later."

"Thank you so much, Leonardo." Kaka expressed his sincere gratitude. Because he knew that this approach that he had agreed but changed his mind in the end would make the middleman Leonardo passive.

Leonardo waved his hand: "I don't know if this will anger AC Milan. But Galliani is a businessman. As long as you show something that attracts him enough, I don't think he will mind the little things you have irritated him..."

At the end of the conversation, he laughed.

Kaka nodded firmly: "In a year, I will definitely be stronger than I am now, Leonardo. I will definitely successfully join AC Milan!"

※※※

After seeing Leonardo off, Kakazhe returned and saw his father in the living room.

My father is watching TV news.

On TV, a highlight of the game between Sao Paulo and Bottafogo was played yesterday.

"... In the game, Rong, a Chinese player who replaced Kaka as the starting midfielder, was widely questioned at the beginning... but he performed well in the final game, which was impressive. He used an unexpected assist to help the team open the deadlock. Then he used a two-way change direction to break into the penalty area... and then scored! With his assist and one goal, Sao Paulo had a complete advantage in his home game. In the end, Sao Paulo defeated Botafogo 3-0 at home and won the first victory of the new national championship..."

Kaka stood next to the sofa and finished reading this episode of the highlights.

Kaka's father turned to look at him after he finished watching it.

"Did you make a decision?"

Kaka nodded: "I won't go to Italy for the time being, dad. I want to stay in Brazil and stay for another year."

"Because of competitive spirit?" Dad asked.

Kaka nodded.

"Well, the right decision. Facing challenges, escaping is definitely not a solution." The father nodded in praise of his son's choice. "Then try to defeat your opponent in this year. Then, with this glory and confidence, go to Europe to defeat a stronger opponent."
