Chapter 299 In the Name of Father
Dong Fangzhuo finally opened the locker room door and walked in.
In the bright locker room, Ronaldo is sitting on the bench of his own locker room, behind him is his clean and smooth spare red No. 7 jersey.
On weekdays, as long as he sits in this position, he always likes to carefully arrange his equipment, especially his jersey. He likes the number 7 very much. I heard that it was because he was influenced by Portugal's number one star Figo and he has longed to wear the number 7 jersey since he was a child. After coming to Manchester United, Ferguson also left him the numbers worn by Best, Cantona and Beckham.
So he cherishes it very much. Before and after every game, he will tidy up in the locker room.
But today, he could only cry softly, and his red face was covered with sad tears. After losing his father, everything seemed meaningless.
Dong Fangzhuo walked over without saying a word, and then sat down too. Behind him was his No. 9 jersey.
His right hand was put on his shoulder, he didn't say anything, and he didn't know what to say to comfort him, he just sat quietly.
Some people say that companionship is the longest confession of love, that is, for love.
In fact, friendship is nothing less than friendship.
I don’t know how long it took, Ronaldo blew his nose and suddenly said:
"When I was a child, I played for Andreja, a small club in my hometown. My father was a support worker for the team. He would watch me train and play every day, have lunch with me, and give me a lot of advice."
"One time before a game against a strong team, I ran away home. I didn't want to participate in the game because I already knew the result, maybe 0-15."
"When my father found out that I was not in the locker room, he rushed home and told me that only the weak will give up. I gritted my teeth and returned to the court. Although I still lost to my opponent unexpectedly, from that time on, I understood What is responsibility?"
"He is an alcoholic. After work, he likes to drink. He has a serious drinking problem. I know something will happen one day, but I can't stop it. I tried to take him to England for treatment, but it didn't work. I didn't expect that this day would happen like this. Come early."
"I promised him that one day I would be the best player in the world."
"But,"
"Woo"
Ronaldo finally couldn't help crying again,
He turned his head and threw himself into Dong Fangzhuo's arms, hugging Dong Fangzhuo tightly.
Tears flowed down his cheeks and onto Dong Fangzhuo's neck.
"Woo"
"He was already gone before I could do it..."
well.
Dong Fangzhuo breathed heavily...
Although he still couldn't understand how powerful his father's existence was, he suddenly missed his mother.
What should I do if I lose my mother one day?
Cherish the moment, cherish every relative and friend around you.
He gently rubbed Ronaldo's back and comforted:
"Ronaldo."
"everything will get better."
"I believe you can do it and become the best player in the world."
"If one year doesn't work, we use two years. If two years doesn't work, we use five years. If five years doesn't work, we use ten years."
"Um!"
Cristiano Ronaldo loosened his grip on Dong Fangzhuo's shoulders, as if he wanted to turn grief into strength, but how could such a heavy blow be relieved in a short while?
※※※※
Sir Alex Ferguson gave Ronaldo a holiday. There is no deadline for the holiday. Whenever he feels he can return to the team, he will return.
Midweek is Manchester United's first Champions League game of the season, an away game against Villarreal, and Ronaldo will definitely not go to Spain with the team.
In the office, Dong Fangzhuo stood in front of Sir Alex.
"Boss, I want to attend the funeral of Cristiano's father. I will get to Villarreal on Tuesday night and keep training."
"I hope you approve."
Ferguson's complex eyes stayed on Dong Fangzhuo for a long time.
What Dong Fangzhuo did was really unprofessional at all. The away game against Villarreal was a tough match and he had to be with the team.
but……
"That's right, I have to arrive on Tuesday."
Ferguson is soft-hearted.
That is to say, Dong Fangzhuo, who was strict with himself and trained hard, made him soften his heart.
"Thanks."
Watching Dong Fangzhuo leave, the Duke murmured.
"I hope your great friendship can support the future of Manchester United. Manchester United is proud to have you."

beautiful Madeira Islands,
Today we bid farewell to another simple resident.
"Amazing grace, how sweet it is, my sins are forgiven! Once I was lost, now I am found, I was blind and now I see."
"Such grace fills me with awe and comforts my heart. When I first believed, I received grace. How precious it is!"
Amazinggrae's funeral music played slowly, and the priest stood in front of the coffin, his expression telling the ordinary life of Ronaldo's father.
“Almighty God and Father, the source of life, who saved us through your Son Jesus, please look upon Dinis Aveiro and accept him into eternal light. He believes in the death and resurrection of your Son. ;"
"May he also share the blessings of your Son when he is resurrected. I ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom you are the Son and who is God, and to you and the Holy Spirit, who live forever and ever."
"..."
In the clean morning, Ronaldo held flowers in his hands and finally bid farewell to his father.
His brothers and sisters were still sobbing quietly.
Ronaldo hugged his mother. From the moment he raised his head, he had already become strong again.
"Dude,"
"Thanks."

"Fans, welcome to the first round match of Villarreal VS Manchester United in the 2005-2006 Champions League group stage. My name is Huang Jianxiang."
"In this game, Manchester United is short of major generals. Captain Gary Neville is absent due to injury. The main right winger Cristiano Ronaldo did not come to Spain with the team because he just lost his father. It can be said that the entire Manchester United right wing is gone. Their replacement general It's Brown and Fletcher, and Keane returns to the center to partner with Scholes, and Manchester United is likely to change back to a 4-4-2 formation."
"Dong Fangzhuo attended the funeral of Cristiano Ronaldo's father the day before yesterday and came to Villarreal yesterday. As the sharpest knife on Manchester United's front line, he will definitely play, and Rooney will form a strike partner with him."
"For Manchester United, this game is very important. If they want to be first in the group, they must at least get a draw here."
"Before the game, last season's European Golden Boot winner Forlan welcomed Manchester United and Ferguson, but he said that Dong Fangzhuo still has not reached the world's top level. He will not get any opportunities in the game. It is not enough. Forlan thinks that in the game, Under my guidance, Dong Fangzhuo will definitely become a great striker."
