Chapter 145 Lubricants

When the day's training was over, the assistant coach Mauro handed each of the three of them a thick booklet.

"This is a map of the offensive routines we have practiced and will be training. Take a closer look and write down these routines." Mauro said.

Everyone looked down and opened a page at random, and there were schematic diagrams of various moves and passes.

Those in the middle, those on the wing, those with the center in front, those with the center behind, those with and without centers...

A variety of offensive routines correspond to different situations on the court.

They were dazzled by those solid lines, dotted lines, and wavy lines.

"Is this homework?" Rong Guang asked.

Mauro nodded: "Yes, it's homework."

When the players leave the dressing room, they all cast their eyes on Kaka.

They thought the head coach's move was really weird.

It used to be two people living together, but now it has expanded to three people living together... Does the head coach like living together so much?

Rong and Lucas are good friends, and Kaka is unfamiliar with both of them, which is uncomfortable for Kaka...

Kaka naturally knew what everyone was looking at him for.

Can he just pretend to be someone else?
After everyone had left, he took out his mobile phone and called his home.

Tell his parents he won't be home this week and ask them to bring him a change of clothes.

The mother was surprised to hear that Kaka would not come back.

"That Tuesday night prayer..."

"I do it in my room," Kaka said.

The training base will close its doors at night, and no one can come in and out freely.It is impossible for Kaka to climb over the wall and go out to pray.

The mother sighed on the other end of the phone: "This is the first time you are not in church..."

"There's no way, Mom. It's about winning the championship and showing the name of the Lord."

At the same time, Godot also brought Rong Guang and Lucas their change of clothes.

In this way, the three young people will formally live a collective life in the Brafunda training base for a month.

Assistant coach Mauro took them to their room—it was originally a double room, but it was changed temporarily. The original two beds were removed, and a slightly narrower bed was placed in the space vacated in the middle.

But the room is so big, the three beds are placed side by side, there is almost no gap in the middle, it looks more like a Chase bunk...

Even Rong Guang was surprised when he saw this scene.He turned his head and asked the assistant coach Mauro: "Can't it be arranged into three rooms, coach?"

"What's the point then?" Mauro asked rhetorically.

"Don't think about it, you allocate the beds yourself, I will live next to you, if you have any questions, please contact me."

After speaking, Mauro turned around and walked out of the room, and even helped them close the door behind him.

Just like that, the three of them stood in the room with their luggage, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

At this time, Lucas stepped forward in time.

"Well, haha, we're going to live together for a week. Being able to live with Kaka for a week is something that I didn't dare to think about before... Haha... Well, why don't we separate the beds first?" Lucas saw that the atmosphere didn't ease up because of this, so he simply abandoned the nonsense and got straight to the point.

"Well, Kaka, which bed do you sleep in?" Because he was not very familiar with Kaka, Lucas was the first to ask Kaka.

Kaka's attitude towards Rongguang is relatively indifferent, but he is still the same to other people as usual. He will not show Lucas just because Lucas is a good friend of Rongguang.

He smiled slightly: "I can do it, look at you."

After seeing Kaka's smile, Lucas thought to himself that it's no wonder Kaka is so popular with girls... This smile is so pretty!If I were a girl, I might even like him...

Lucas turned his head and asked Rong Guang again: "What about you, Rong?"

Because he has a good relationship with Rong Guang, Lucas unceremoniously put him at the end to ask.

As if deliberately confronting Kaka tit for tat, Rong Guang said, "I don't care."

"Uh... so how do you divide it?" Lucas spread his hands.

"Don't worry about me, Lucas, you choose first." Kaka waved his hand.

Rong Guang also curled his lips: "It doesn't matter where I sleep."

Lucas would be damned if he couldn't see that the two were still at odds.

He felt that if they continued like this, they might not be able to sleep until tomorrow morning.

This is not the time to express my respect for Kaka and my brotherhood with Rongguang.

Lucas made a decision directly. "Why do you dilly-dally more than women? Since you can't decide, then I have the final say! Based on the position on the court, I sleep in the middle, Kaka sleeps on the left, and you sleep on the right!"

Kaka did not express any objection, but Rong Guang asked: "But the coach asked us to change positions frequently..."

"Could it be that you still want to roll around on the bed?" Lucas squinted at him.

Rong Guang thought about the scene, then shook his head decisively: "No, I sleep very honestly."

What he said was the truth. At home, he always slept with his younger brother. The bed was already small, and if he was dishonest, everyone would go to bed, so he had to be honest.

"Then it's over?" Lucas spread his hands. "That's it!"

After allocating the bed, Lucas threw himself on his own bed and lay down on the soft bed.

"After a tiring day, I can finally rest..." He moaned comfortably on the bed.

Kaka did not do this, but picked up the tactical manual that Mauro gave him, sat down in front of the desk and read it - he kept the assistant coach's instructions in mind and kept these tactical routines in his mind.

Rong Guang glanced at him, took out the tactical manual, and sat at another table to read it by the light of the desk lamp.

He won't lose to Kaka!
No matter which aspect...

Lucas was still thinking about chatting with Rong Guang on the bed for a while, but when he saw that there was no one else, he sat up from the bed, saw the backs of the two sitting in front of the table, and shook his head.

When Rongguang told himself that he would pursue and surpass Kaka as a goal, although he supported Rongguang, he didn't think Kaka would take Rongguang's "crazy words" seriously.

But now, any fool can see that Kaka really cares about Rong Guang.

I didn't expect that kid Rong actually made Kaka feel threatened!
It's amazing, as expected of a monster...

However, I am also a great Lucas who can stand alongside the two of them!
Thinking of this, Lucas also took out his tactical manual, and sat cross-legged on the bed to read it.

It was originally a double room, and there were only two writing desks, which were all occupied, so he could only read on the bed.

※※※

Mauro lifted his head from the door of the room.

He didn't leave after closing the door, and kept eavesdropping behind the door.

He didn't hear any quarrels coming from inside, so he felt relieved, turned around and tiptoed towards his own room next door.

After closing his door, he remembered Osvaldo's words.

"... Lucas is a wonderful man," Osvaldo told Mauro in the office. "I have studied his performance in the youth team. What he is most famous for in the youth team is not his football skills, but his 'ability'. He opened gambling games, sold some souvenirs through internal relations, sold the autographs of star players, etc... He was very active. After Rong came to Sao Paulo, he was the first person to contact him. He also taught Rong Guang to play football, so the two of them have such a good relationship. This shows that Lucas has very good communication skills, which is much better than Luis. Luis is a bit gloomy...So He has cooperated with Rong and Kaka for so long, and the relationship between the three has not improved at all. I think it might be different if it were Lucas..."

"I hope that Lucas will become the lubricant between Rong and Kaka, not only on the court, but also in life. So we have to put the three of them together for a period of time, so that they can train, rest, eat, and sleep together. I hope that through Lucas' efforts, Rong and Kaka can establish the initial contact. Lucas will be a good bridge."

Thinking of what Osvaldo said now, Mauro has to say that Osvaldo is really good at seeing people... When Rongguang and Kaka lived together before the game, the two had a lot of friction, so that when Rongguang was in the room, Kaka went to the room of other teammates to "refuge".

Now, the three of them were in the same room, and there was no friction, and no one rushed out the door. Instead, they calmed down and lived in peace.

I have to say that Lucas must have played an important role here.

There are still five days left, I hope they can really cultivate a tacit understanding together, which will become the key to Sao Paulo's comeback in the away game...

All our hopes are pinned on the three of you, don't let us down!

※※※

Rong Guang suddenly pointed to a picture in his handbook and said to Lucas: "Why do the two of us have to cross positions?"

Lucas came over and took a look: "Oh, if you go to the front, you will pull Corinthians' defenders, so that there will be space in the middle and back of the goal. This way me!" Lucas patted his chest, "Great Lucas, will appear here, and then receive..." He glanced at Kaka next to him.

"To receive a pass from Kaka and then to kick the football into the goal without marking."

Lucas finished explaining the movement of this offensive routine.

But Rong Guang felt wrong.

"If I run forward, the opponent will definitely follow me? But I won't rush to shoot. They also know this, right?"

"Stupid, as long as you run, the opponent will definitely follow. Even if they know you won't grab a shot, but if you run into this unmarked space..." Lucas poked at the picture in the tactics manual and said to Rong Guang, "When you receive a pass, you can turn around and shoot. This doesn't require the ability to grab a spot! Could it be that the opponent will let you move freely in the penalty area without anyone defending?"

Rong Guang pouted: "Why is this impossible? Because I can't catch the ball at all!"

Lucas didn't react at first, but soon he realized what Rong Guang was talking about.

That's right, in this offensive routine, it is assumed that Kaka has the ball.

If Kaka took the ball... Even if Rong Guang ran into the space, Kaka might not pass the ball over, right?

He secretly glanced at Kaka's back.

※※※

Kaka heard the discussion between Rong Guang and Lucas verbatim.

He knew what Rong Guang was talking about, because he happened to be looking at this attacking routine.

He looked down at the movement routes of his own players on the picture.

The previous point is indeed a gap...
