Ronaldo just went to Serie A AC Milan from Real Madrid for a transfer fee of 7.5 million euros at the beginning of this year. In the past half season, Ronaldo, wearing the No. 99 jersey, won the Champions League championship with the team;

But he is not qualified to appear. Although he is no longer able to find the wind and lightning at his peak, he can still see the recovery state.

Carlos also just ended his 11-year appointment with Real Madrid this summer, and is preparing to go to Fenerbahce in Turkey to exude his remaining heat. The light of the "world's number one left-back" is still dazzling.

Both of them have just finished their season missions and are now on vacation. They both have returned to Brazil to relax. Carlos is three years older than Ronaldo. Both of them are born outgoing and cheerful;

Especially Carlos, he is the treasure of the locker room of Real Madrid and Brazil. They also became two best friends who could talk about everything as early as 1997. When the Brazilian team participated in the 1998 World Cup, they lived in the same dormitory. The friendship was really stronger than gold.

After the intersection between Real Madrid and the World Cup in 2002, Ronaldo was trapped in the decline in physical condition and was no longer as brave as he was, and was ruthlessly sold to Milan by the club;

The 34-year-old Carlos gradually became unable to do so. The club successfully found his Brazilian fellow Marcelo to take over. He was so ugly that he was going to leave Turkey.

The world of football is always so cruel. The stage of youth is placed there, and people come and go, and they always only hear the laughter of new people. Who cares about your old people crying?

Both of them understood this cruel truth, and could only silently lick the scars left by the years after their youth was gone. Their mentality changed, but the friendship that began in their youth became stronger and stronger.

The LCD TV in the box is broadcasting the game live. It is a quarter-final of the World Youth Championship in Spain, with Brazil vs. the host Spain.

Brazil's performance in the World Youth Championship is not as good as neighboring Argentina. It has won four championships so far, trailing Argentina's five record.

But this does not mean that Brazil's youth training is not outstanding. In fact, Brazilian football is known for its talent boom. From the early days of Pele and Galin to the current Ronaldo, Ronaldinho and Robinho, all of them have become famous throughout Europe before they were in their prime.

The poor performance of the Brazilian youth team is only relatively speaking, which is closely related to the national conditions.

Under the influence of the developed scouting system all over the world, once the Brazilian geniuses who grew up from the slums successfully attracted the attention of Europe, they are more inclined to go abroad, which can bring them the wealth and reputation they have always dreamed of;

This strong core driving force is different from that of Argentina, which has led to a distinction between the youth teams of the two countries. Brazil, which lacks gold content, is definitely slightly inferior to Argentina, which has all the elites.

Under such circumstances, Brazil can still follow Argentina and will not fall too far behind. This shows that Brazil's football has abundant talent reserves.

Specifically for this World Youth Championship, Brazilians have more reasons for paying attention.

Although the stars are not as radiant as the neighbors, this Brazilian youth team also has two talented young players, Marcelo and Pato. The former just joined the La Liga giant Real Madrid at the beginning of this month, and the latter was also enthusiastically pursued by European champion AC Milan;

It was also thanks to the outstanding performance of the two that in the South China Youth Championship at the beginning of the year, the Brazilian team tied the powerful Argentina, and with its stable performance, they successfully defeated the enemy and won the championship, entering the World Youth Championship with the first place in the qualifiers, which made every Brazilian extremely proud.

In addition, for next year's Olympic Games, this Olympic-age youth team is also likely to attract attention. As the football kingdom, Brazil, the miracle of the 50% Hercules crown has not radiated to the youth field at all;

In the Olympic football game with the greatest political influence, they still did not achieve a breakthrough of zero gold medals, which is unbearable;

And next year's Olympic Games will be held in China, one of the BRICS countries, which seems to be a beautiful signal;

This magical land of Asia has always been the favorite of Brazilians. They also successfully embroidered the fifth Venus on their yellow shirts on the east coast of the Asian continent five years ago, and they were in the limelight.

With these backgrounds mixed, the number of people in Brazil who concentrated on watching the National Youth Team this afternoon has increased significantly. In addition, today is Saturday again, so I feel like a live weekend.

In addition, during lunch time, there was an Argentina game, which further warmed up the 4pm game. The audience watching this game was actually equivalent to the number of people in some games in the group stages of last year's World Cup.

Argentina's game was shockingly unpopular, and the defending champion was eliminated, which is also the happiest result for Brazilians to see;

In addition to being very satisfied with watching the mortal enemy embarrassment in front of the whole world, an important reason is that if Brazil can enter the semi-finals, its opponent will be the winner of Argentina's game;

The previous prediction was Argentina, but after the game it turned into China, which felt like someone was sending a pillow when he was about to fall asleep;

It is an Asian team like China that has eliminated the biggest obstacle on Brazil's advancement to the finals. This is simply a god-given opportunity to win the championship. How can we not let these naturally optimistic Brazilians cheer?

Four years later, he won the championship again, tied with the national team's five championship record, and was on par with his old rival Argentina. All the beautiful visions are right in front of him.

Although optimistic, the next step is to face the host Spain, the Brazilians are not so arrogant that they think it is a win that is easy to win.

Brazil and Spain have not had frequent exchanges in football. At the national team level, all five matches between the two sides in the official match occurred in the World Cup. Brazil had an advantage in 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Espanyol's victory still occurred 73 years ago;

Even at last year's World Cup in Germany, Brazil, which was still at its peak, was actually swept out by the aging French champion, which made their fans feel very disgraceful;

But compared to Spain, they still have a sense of superiority. At least they entered the quarterfinals, and Brazil has never been afraid of Spain, which is also due to practical factors and historical origins.

The unexpected sight of Argentina's defeat further inspired the passion in the hearts of Brazilians. They hope that the young men of the youth team can be more successful and help their dreams of champions.

Therefore, when the Brazilian team wearing yellow home jersey and white Spain both entered the stadium, the host excitedly shouted the cheering slogan "vamos!brazil!" on behalf of the Chinese people.

"Ronnie, what do you think of this game?" Carlos asked, tilting his head to look at him.

"There are no players in the Spanish team that shine before me, and their level is still OK, so we still have a chance to win." As a former Real Madrid player, Ronaldo is quite familiar with Spanish football, and the nature of a top killer also makes him have a high vision.

Carlos smiled and said, "I guess there should be only one team in all the teams in this game that you can think it's OK. It's a pity that they've returned home."

The focus of the two was not on the ongoing game, and they still seemed unsatisfied with the last game.

There is no player in Brazil's young generation that particularly impressed Ronaldo, but a young genius in the neighboring Argentina team successfully attracted his attention as early as in China, that is, Aguero.

Ronaldo, who was the same striker, smelled the same smell on him. In time, he believed that Aguero could grow into a superstar.

He and his old friend Carlos rarely returned to China for vacation from Europe at the same time. They made an appointment to relax on the beach in Rio. They actually took out a precious noon to watch a youth competition without the participation of their own team. One of the important reasons was to see the performance of this star of hope.

But it was obvious that Ronaldo was very disappointed.

Although the performance of young players has been greatly fluctuated, Aguero did not show the style of a top killer in this game. His excellent talent was not fulfilled. He was like a reckless bison throughout the game. The young man still had a long way to grow up.

Carlos did not pay much attention to the youth team's game. He had also played against Aguero in La Liga. He was a rough man and did not have the appreciation of Ronaldo. He just thought he was a good young player.

After seeing Argentina's unexpected defeat, Carlos did not have the narrow gloating of the Brazilians, but was attracted by the Chinese team that created this victory with his own hands.

Carlos doesn't remember the impression of the Chinese team. The 2002 World Cup group stage is very vague. The latest one should be two times in China to play commercial matches in 2003 and 2005.

Objectively speaking, Chinese football has a very poor level and has no sense of existence in the whole world. Every time I fight with them, I am like a college student fighting a primary school student, and I can’t raise the desire to confront you at all.

Carlos still remembers the World Cup match against the Chinese team. There was a No. 10 at that time. He was said to be one of China's best forwards. After pretending to make a fake move with his left and right feet, he wanted to break through to the bottom line as soon as he went to the ball. He didn't use all his strength. He stepped forward and blocked it easily, and easily stuck his position and destroyed the ball.

In his opinion, Chinese players have good figures and are stronger than Japanese players, but their basic skills are too poor and their ball quotient is very low. They feel like a group of people playing wild balls, and the level of the entire team is not high.

But the Chinese team, who fought fiercely with Argentina in this game, made him look at him with admiration.

Although there are still some bad habits of Chinese players, the entire team plays simply and efficiently, with reliable defense and sharp counterattacks, which are somewhat similar to those Premier League teams that have opened and closed.

In terms of players, several of them performed very well, especially the No. 2, who was as if he had seen his former self in a trance;

Carlos couldn't help but think about it again. The player's interesting name was long   tian. At first glance, it was Lang Dean, which was literally understood in English;

But the host issued a very strange pronunciation. This was the first time he heard it read it like this, but at first he couldn't hear it clearly;

The host then explained that this was based on the Chinese pronunciation habits, called "Longtian". Although it sounds awkward, it must also be used to it, because after the end of this World Youth Championship, he is very likely to appear in the European League;

At the end, the host didn't forget to joke: "Whether long or short, the Chinese are coming, it seems to be more vigorous than Manchester City's sun or Charlton's zz, and everyone has to learn to get used to it."

Carlos looked at the lonely No. 2 behind Long Tian in a white robe, and blinked thoughtfully.
