"Our boss is a very special head coach. He has a very unique personal charm that will make you willingly serve him. Moreover, his vision is very poisonous and you can always see some very ordinary but sharp details."

"I was so worried when I heard that he was going to coach Inter Milan, just because I was afraid that he would invite me to transfer. Then I definitely couldn't refuse, but I could jump to my arch-enemy in the same city..."

"However, he didn't invite me in the end, which disappointed me instead, and it made me cheaper that kid Cristiano!"

"Believe me, follow him. Although it will be a little harder at the beginning, you will soon enjoy the taste."

This is what Kaka and Adriano said during a private exchange with each other during the training camp of the Brazilian national team.

And Ronaldinho.

This Brazilian superstar who shined after transferring to Barcelona also praised Gao Han.

"You know, I am a very lazy person, but under the boss, I act harder than anyone else, because I can feel that I am improving almost every day. Although I only have one year, the progress I have made has exceeded all the past."

"That kind of progress, that kind of belief that helps the team win, fills my every day, that feeling is wonderful."

"So, if it weren't for Chelsea that year, I would definitely not be who I am now."

Adriano felt their admiration for Gao Han from their two teammates.

If Kaka Xiang is self-disciplined, then Ronaldinho's laziness is well-known to Adriano, but his diligence in this year under Gao Han's command made everyone admire him.

...

Adriano locked himself in the dim study, with the curtains tightly sealed and the lights were not turned on, and his whole body seemed to be integrated into the darkness, which was a bit scary.

He gradually got used to this darkness, and his eyes could see the blurry study clearly, which was a bit psychedelic.

Sometimes, he even felt as if he had a pair of familiar eyes looking at him somewhere he didn't know.

The eyes were very warm, with a fatherly feeling.

"Is it really you?" Adriano muttered to himself.

Gao Han asked him, "Is this the reason why his father taught him to be a human being."

He didn't answer at the time, but he wanted to say, no.

When he was a child, he lived in the slums of Cruzero, which was very chaotic and drug trafficking was common. During a gangster fire, his father Almir happened to pass by and was shot three times in the head.

That year, Adriano was ten years old.

He was frightened to death as he watched his father's face covered in blood with his own eyes.

At that time, his father held his hand and told him to be angry and forceful, leave the damn slum, become a strong man, and protect his family.

And he agreed with tears in his eyes.

Although my father was finally rescued, there was still a bullet that pressed the brain nerves on his head that could not be taken out.

Since then, he has played football desperately, and his skills have improved rapidly. Later, he became famous and joined Inter Milan.

In the early days of coming to Europe, his status was very awkward and he was not valued. His frail and sick father kept comforting him, constantly enlightening him, helping him regain his confidence, and returning to Inter Milan with his excellent performance.

In order to repay his father, he bought a luxury villa in the wealthy area of ​​Rio de Janeiro to let his father recuperate. At that time, he really felt that the good days for his family were finally coming.

He also kept reminding himself to work harder, earn more money, and take good care of his family's life.

But not long after the good days, in the summer of 2004, his father suddenly passed away.

What made Adriano even more painful was that when his father passed away, his mother went out to do business and there was not even a single person at home.

He left alone, helplessly.

What killed him was the bullet left in his brain back then!

He really felt that the whole world had collapsed, and that no matter how much he did, everything had become meaningless.

But today, Gao Han's words made Adriano recall what his father, who was ten years old, said in his hand holding his hand when he was dying.

Become a strong man, protect your family, and leave that damn slum!

Before I knew it, tears fell silently.

In the darkness, with tears in his eyes, he seemed to see his father, standing in front of him so realistically, smiling at him, encouraging and supporting him, so that he would not give up hope no matter what.

But...father, you have already left, what hope do I have?

At this moment, the door suddenly rang.

Adriano took a deep breath and wiped the tears in his eyes quickly with his big hands. He didn't feel like he was letting his girlfriend see his weak side.

"Come in." Adriano shouted.

My girlfriend Daniela Cavanio opened the door but did not come in. Instead, she stood outside the door and said coldly: "Hilmar is here."

Since the Italian media frequently broke the news that Adriano was in a nightclub and the rumors of having sex with many beauties, a cold war with his girlfriend began. The relationship has not recovered and he talked to each other coldly.

When Adriano heard this, he immediately stood up from his seat. He was about to find the agent to ask clearly, and saw what was going on when he asked for leave.

Why did the head coach say that he didn't receive any leave calls?

But just as Adriano was about to walk out of the room, Daniela did not get out of the way, but suddenly raised her head, looked at Adriano, and plucked up the courage and said, "There is something I want to tell you."

"Let's go back and I'm not available now." Adriano was a little anxious and wanted to go out.

But Daniela still didn't get out of the way, she was very stubborn, "Speak now."

Adriano looked at her impatiently, "What the hell is it?"

"I'm pregnant," Daniela said in a trembling voice.

"What?" Adriano was stunned as if struck by lightning.

"I'm pregnant." Daniela repeated again, and this time she became much calmer.

"Really...really?" Adriano's face was full of disbelief.

The news came too quickly and too suddenly, and he even wondered if he had heard it wrong.

But Daniela still looked at him coldly, "I decided to go back to Brazil tomorrow."

"What?" Adriano lost his voice, "Why? Why go back?"

He even grabbed Daniela's shoulders with both hands excitedly, causing the latter to look painful.

But Daniela still looked at him coldly, "I think we must rethink our relationship."

In one sentence, all Adriano's enthusiasm was instantly frozen.

"Originally, I was hesitating whether to tell you this news, but then I felt that you should know, but I doubt whether you are ready to become a father, and whether you can take on the responsibility of a father, so I think we should calm down and think about it."

After saying that, Daniela turned around and walked back to her room.

Adriano was left alone, standing there in a daze, staring at his girlfriend's back.

"Have you thought seriously about what your father left you, and what can you leave for your future children?"

Gao Han's words sounded in his ears again, like a bolt from the blue, making him dizzy and confused.

If it were just Gao Han, he would not have such a big feeling, but even his girlfriend doubted whether he could become a qualified father, which would have a great blow to him.

He has always been proud of his father, and he has always longed for himself to become a man like his father, and be able to take on the burden of taking care of his family and raising children.

But now, he had to wonder, is he really that bad?

Adriano walked downstairs with his head down and frustrated face.

In the living room downstairs, Hilmar Linardi was waiting anxiously.

As soon as he saw Adriano go downstairs, he immediately went up excitedly and shouted loudly, "Ha, I tell you, from now on, we will no longer have to look at his Gao Han's face. If he likes to punish him, we don't care!"

Linardi seemed to be filled with excitement, and did not notice Adriano's expression change at all. Instead, he grabbed Adriano's thick right hand hard, "Do you know? Juventus wants to buy you. Just now Moji called me personally. They want to buy you Juventus and form a double center with Trezege."

The more Linardi spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he even began to fantasize about the scene where Adriano put on the Juventus jersey.

"Moji said that Juventus will do its best to negotiate with Inter Milan. I believe that it will definitely be a sky-high price."

Transfer fees are sky-high, and broker commissions will also be sky-high.

But just as Renardi was immersed in his fantasy, Adriano suddenly shook his hands away, looked coldly at the agent in front of him, and asked: "Shirmar, tell me, did you ask for leave for me on Thursday afternoon?"

Rinaldi's laughter came to an abrupt end, and she looked at Adriano timidly, her eyes flashing a little, "Please... please."

"I really asked?" Adriano asked again in a deep voice.

"I... really asked." Linardi replied in a trembling voice.

"Then why Gao Han said that he didn't receive your call?"

"This...he..." Linardi was a little hesitant, "He was deliberately trying to mess with you."

But how far-fetched is this reason? After Linardi finished speaking, he felt guilty.

Adriano is not a fool. He has been doubting whether he has been deceived from the beginning.

"I still remember that on Thursday afternoon, when you told me that you would postpone your return to Europe for one day, I said that it would not work, but you said you would ask for leave for me, and the plane was delayed, and finally I agreed, but you..." Adriano pointed at his agent angrily, "You didn't ask for leave for me, right?"

Faced with Adriano's questioning, Rinaldi couldn't help but take a step back guiltily and couldn't answer.

"You lied to me!" Adriano roared with a ferocious face.

The head coach wanted to abandon him. His girlfriend wanted to break up with him with the child in her belly. Even the agent he had always trusted was deceived by...

All of this made Adriano feel like he was going crazy!

After a while, Linardi woke up, "This... Actually, I really thought about asking for leave, but I knew Gao Han would definitely not agree, so I called Morati, but he didn't answer. Later I thought, I just made the call anyway, I just counted it. Didn't it always happen? How did I know..."

"Get out!" Adriano pointed at the door and shouted.

"No, I really..."

"Get out!" Adriano roared like a furious lion, "From now on, I don't want to see you again, get out!"

Linardi himself was confused. He had never seen Adriano like this.

After hesitating for a while, he finally left.

Adriano is now angry and says nothing is useless.
