Pirated Ronaldo

Chapter 16 Santa and the Football

It was the first time for Ronando to walk on the streets of the small city of Akchit. It was beautiful, with the style of a typical country garden city, serene and poetic.

However, Ronando is neither a traveler, nor a poet or painter, and no matter how beautiful the scenery here is, it has nothing to do with him.

It is already the afternoon of Christmas Eve, and the streets are full of festive atmosphere. Various Christmas decorations are hung on the doors of the shops, such as Christmas hats, Christmas trees, balloons, and ribbons can be seen everywhere.

In fact, Ronando, who has been buried in the training camp, has no idea that after entering December, all European cities have entered the Christmas time, and the entire December is the time for people to celebrate festivals. Lively season.

However, such a festive atmosphere is of no help to Ronando!

When he walked into several restaurants in a row and asked if he needed to hire a chef, all he got was looks like fools!
A young-looking guy with a Madeira accent who looks like an Akchit training camp cadet even in a sports jacket marked "Akchit" Doubt, who has ever seen a talented boy in a training camp run out to find a job as a cook?

If it weren't for the fact that Ronando's language was quite normal, the restaurant staff would even call the police on the spot instead of just asking him to leave!
After several failures, Ronando's heart sank.

In other words, he can endure hardship and is willing to do any dirty work, but he is definitely not a person who can be humble. To "beg" for a job in this way is beyond the limit of his self-esteem, so he decided to turn around first. make plans.

Just when Ronando was almost desperate, he saw a scribbled recruitment advertisement.

It was the largest supermarket in the urban area of ​​Akchit. In order to carry out Christmas promotion, this supermarket arranged a show on the big square in front of the door. It was to let a person wear a Santa Claus costume and half lift and half drag With a prop sleigh, he pretends to be Santa Claus and runs around the square, but this Santa Claus needs to run with a ball under his feet, and every time he runs around, he kicks the ball to a small ball net installed on the background board inside.

This is a very good idea, Akchit is a "forward city", the residents here like football, this program is enough to attract attention.

Ronando noticed that the job advertisement marked "Urgent Recruitment". Applicants are only required to be in good health and have a certain level of football. They can get 5 euros for every 30 hours of work.

An attractive job!
Not only is the pay generous, but Ronando can even regard this kind of performance as training. Anyway, even if he returns to the training camp, he is just practicing on the court alone. Although this is not a lawn, it is always running with the ball. Just think of it as playing street football. You can train and earn money. Where can you find such a good thing?
Thinking of this, Ronando walked towards the small door indicated by a red arrow on the recruitment advertisement without hesitation...

Of course, Ronando was not the only one who applied for the job, but, except for Ronando, the others were all black!
Apparently, on this special festival, the local Portuguese youths disdain to earn the 30 euro income. Only those black people who live in difficulties will give up the opportunity to get together with their friends and come to work.

After performing a few casual runs with the ball, Ronando defeated several other competitors without any suspense.

He is tall, well-proportioned and strong, and his appearance is definitely better than the other blacks. More importantly, he needs to show half of his face to play Santa Claus. Although Ronando is not Caucasian, he wears a Santa hat After , blindfolds and long beards, there is no obvious difference from ordinary Portuguese, which is incomparable to other blacks.

Seeing that the person in charge of the supermarket had chosen Ronando, the other blacks were very frustrated, but they didn't speak ill of Ronando either.

One of the big men came up and patted Ronando on the shoulder, and said with a friendly smile: "Hi! Madeira people, good luck to you! If you feel tired, remember to give us the opportunity. We all From Mozambique, I often play in the Amendola district. You are from Madeira, and you are our African friends when you come here. Remember, my name is Ze Roy.”

The few black people in front of him made Ronando feel much more cordial than those students in the training camp.

Before he could go out to pull the sled, Ronando chatted with the big Mozambican Ze Roy.

As a once powerful maritime power Portugal, Portuguese is one of the few languages ​​​​in the world that is widely distributed all over the world. Some places in South America and Africa have been strongly influenced by Portugal, such as Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, and the Cape Verde Islands. It is a typical representative area.

Now, Portugal’s overseas immigrants also come from these places. Every year, countless Brazilians and Africans, who become stars for themselves or their children, come to Portugal from far away. These people are very poor and generally live in big cities. The surrounding area, the Amandola district mentioned by Ze Roy is an African immigrant gathering area, in the southern suburbs of Lisbon, next to the city of Akchite.

Ronando also learned some interesting news from Ze Roy.

For example, Benfica's Manuel Fernandez and Sporting Lisbon's Nani often play street football in the Amandola district. These two talented teenagers, both 18 years old, are descendants of African immigrants. They are rival teams, but they are good friends in private. They already have their respective first-team appearance records in their respective clubs, and they are the best players among those descendants of African immigrants.

Nani?At the moment, Nani has not made a name for himself, he is just a player of the Sporting Lisbon youth team.

This is a Portuguese player that Ronaldo loves very much. His characteristics are close to the real Ronaldo. He was once called "Little Ronaldo", but his stature is slightly shorter and his physique is not as strong as Ronaldo.

"Okay! Ze Ruoyi, I will go to Amandola to play football with you when I have time!"

Ronando made up his mind. When he earns some money, he will go to the Amandola District to meet some African immigrant players. Judging from Ze Roy's attitude towards him, these blacks should not treat him as Madeira. People discriminate against each other, everyone is a child of suffering, doesn't discrimination against others mean looking down on yourself?

Finally it was Ronando's turn to play Santa, fully armed and donning a bulky Santa costume with bits and pieces of decorations on his body.

Fortunately, the prop sled was not heavy, and there were two small wheels installed at the bottom. With Ronando's physique, it was not difficult to handle these loads. He pulled the sled carefully, and he carried a Christmas decoration on his feet. The patterned football starts to run along the route around the square.

"Look! Santa has changed! A handsome young man!"

"He's not black, he's very tall! His running posture is beautiful, he must be very powerful!"

"Come on! Santa Claus! Come on some wonderful kicks! Shoot the ball into the net!"

"Hi! Little handsome guy, what's your name? How about buying me a drink later?"

With Ronando's appearance, people in the square applauded him one after another, especially those young girls, who generously talked about Ronando's figure and guessed his appearance. The brave girls even waited in front of Ronando. On Nando's running route, he shouted and asked for his name.

Unmoved, Ronando concentrated on running with the ball, making fancy dribbling moves from time to time.

He is very clear that the reason why these young and beautiful Portuguese beauties are interested in him is that they mistakenly think that Ronando is a real Portuguese. If they know that he is a Madeira, they will so enthusiastic?The answer is 100%: no!

Although Ronando's "skills are rough", his dribbling skills have improved greatly these days. It is not difficult to do some flashy moves when no one is pressing. The reason for this is very simple. , he is "working" now, if he can attract crowds and attract the favor of the audience, not only can he firmly occupy the place of Santa Claus, but he can also get extra bonuses, which is the promise of the person in charge of the supermarket.

That's what Ronando thinks, the activities in this supermarket will continue until New Year's Day, and only two people can get this opportunity every day, but Ronando wants to snatch all the 10 hours of sledding work every day. come down!In this way, he can get an income of 60 euros a day, and a total of 500+ euros!

With this money, he can even try to go out of Portugal and go to surrounding countries to find opportunities to join the team!
Of course, doing so felt a little sorry to the other black boy pulling the sled, but at this moment Ronando couldn't care less about sympathizing with others, so he could only say sorry silently in his heart.

If he wants to snatch all 10 hours of work, Ronando must let himself do well enough!

When Ronando pulled the sled and ran to a position 10 meters away from the small ball net, he slowed down a little and called out in his heart: "God in three seconds!"

"Snapped!"

The flamboyant football was picked up by his right foot, and then Ronando used his left knee to relay the football, which once again made the football fly nearly one person high. Finally, he turned sideways, jumped up lightly, and quickly kicked the football sideways with his right foot!
"Shh!"

The football flew out steadily!In the center of the net with a diameter of about 2 meters!
Ronando gave himself a perfect score in his heart! "Three Seconds God" plus Ronando's improved foot skills are too sharp. If such a shooting action happens on the court, it will be a wonderful shot that shocks everyone!Enough memorable!
Sure enough, as soon as this gorgeous shot came out, there was a burst of exclamation from the surrounding crowd.

"Oh! God! Wonderful shot! Who is he?"

"Have you noticed? That foot movement is so beautiful! I bet this handsome guy playing Santa Claus must be a well-known football star!"

"I'm going crazy! He looks very young, it will never be Pedro Barbosa of Sporting Lisbon! And he must look over 185cm, it will not be Barbosa!"
