[Football] Bad Boy Batty

What is your impression of Brazil?
Samba, football, beautiful beaches, and hospitable locals?
If so, then maybe you should add the word ghetto to it.

Our little Batty lives there, in Rocinha, the largest slum in Brazil and South America, located in Rio.

Even in the 21st century, violent crimes such as murder, carjacking, armed attacks and gang fights are still part of daily life here.

In Rocinha, more than 4000 people are killed every year, a rate comparable to that of a battlefield. The average life expectancy of people in the slums is 7 years lower than that in the outside world, and the unnatural death rate is so high that you won't believe it.

But don't worry, to some extent you are still safe living here, because every district has a gangster boss protecting you. As long as you don't do anything that harms the community and pay the protection fee on time, the boss will not only not harm you but also keep you safe.

In 2005, 6-year-old Batista was in a gang. He was lucky because the boss liked him.

"Bati! You have to help us. Little Lu Dan found a big kid from the south to help him. Three of us have already entered!"

The dark-skinned boy rushed over and complained to Batty. He was Loach, Batty's follower.

"Why are you panicking?" Batista looked over and slapped him on the head, his expression full of arrogance. "Did you tell me my name?"

"I reported it!" Loach's face was full of resentment, "But he still refused to give in. He also said that you are nothing special, and you are just relying on the boss's liking for you..."

The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became. He knew Batty would get angry if he heard it.

really.

Batista jumped down from the railing, threw the soda in his hand to the ground, and then stomped on the bottle with his foot, popping it. The loud bang could be heard throughout the block.

"Little brat." A raging fire burned in her beautiful green-blue eyes, "Lead the way, and I'll kick him and make him cry!"

Loach followed behind Batty and laughed secretly.

That kid is in trouble.

After all, when it comes to football skills, there is no one better than Batistuta in the entire slum.

Even adults are the same.

……

"You are the ignorant kid." Batty walked into the court with his head held high and said disdainfully to the guy in the middle, "You?"

"Stop, stop looking down on others!" The guy who came to challenge the club had a moment of retreat in his eyes, but he still held on and tried to dance wildly on Barty's baseline. "Your mother is a bitch, and so are you. If it weren't for the existence of the boss, who would praise your skills against their will? Do you really think you are so great?"

Batty narrowed his eyes and smiled sarcastically, but did not respond.

He was being patient. He had never shown mercy to Barty who dared to talk about his mother. But since he had questioned his playing skills, he had to let him see what the hell he was doing. After he had seen it, there would still be time to teach him a lesson.

"Bati, where do you want to play today?" Loach leaned close to his ear and asked, "How about playing as a striker?"

Loach likes watching Batistuta score goals the most, it is a real pleasure.

Batistuta shook his head. He didn't plan to wait for someone to pass him the ball and score a goal today.

"No, you go to the front." Batty's blue eyes turned, "Make sure you are not offside."

"Really?" Loach's eyes lit up. He liked watching Batistuta score goals but he liked scoring himself even more, so he grinned and ran to the front court.

Batti was left looking at the opposite side fiercely.

It's time to show them how powerful the people of Rocinha are.

The children on both sides lined up and the war on the court was about to break out.

……

Standing on the sidelines was a man in a suit who looked out of place. He was a scout.

He knew the outcome of the game was decided before it started, but he never imagined it would be such a one-sided result.

Batista led the team in a massive and crazy attack in the midfield and frontcourt, causing the other side to not dare to leave the half zone at all. Even if the forward went up, there would be a gap and no one to support.

The man smoked and watched, his eyes fell on the figure that didn't fit in with the dirty environment. The boy moved smoothly, like a beautiful and ferocious beast out of a cage, gorgeous and practical, like an elegant ocelot walking freely in the complex rainforest, no one could stop him.

He just snatched the ball from the backcourt and ran all the way to the front of the goal, then faced the dumbfounded goalkeeper and shot the ball.

The ball hit the blind corner.

It even spun in the dirty grid for several seconds before falling, which shows the strength of the kick.

The whistle blew and the game was over.

22-0
A one-sided massacre.

……

After the massacre, Batista walked up to the guy who came to challenge him and provoked him. There was a large bruise on the guy's face, which was caused by Batistuta deliberately kicking the ball into his face during the game.

"Now you have seen how powerful we Rocinha people are." The beast licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, looking superior.

The guy who challenged the opponent looked at Batistuta hatefully, turned around and ran to the sidelines.

"Hey? Batista, look!" Loach came up to Batista again and pointed at the sidelines. The man in the suit gave the guy who had just challenged him a roll of money and said, "What's going on?"

Batista stared at that place, with a vague guess in his mind.

It was not until the man walked up to him and handed him his business card that Batty realized he had been tricked.

"I'm a scout for Santos, and I hope you can go for a trial," the man said. "I'm sorry that I asked someone to test you. You're a genius, and I don't want you to be buried here."

The loach next to him was chattering something, but Batty didn't hear a word. He looked down at the business card in his hand and smiled softly.

He was finally getting out of the ghetto.

[Who is Batista? ]

This question topped the trending search list, beating out all other news, and the second one was——

[Is Batista handsome? 】

++
It is now the summer of 2016 and the Rio Olympics is about to kick off. Two months ago, Brazilian Olympic team head coach Camillero announced the 18-man roster.

In addition to the highly-anticipated Barcelona star Neymar, there is another young player who has attracted people's attention.

After the list of players was announced, former Brazilian star Ronaldinho, also known as Ronaldinho by fans, reposted the young player's good news on Instagram and made a video to congratulate him. In the video, he used personal pronouns such as "my son".

The youngster deleted the IG post and later posted new photos.

There are five or six gangster-looking men in the picture, and the young man is sitting in the middle with a bright smile.

With the caption [Me and the dads], Ronaldinho then @ed him and said that he was willing to take on the responsibility of a father because he didn't know he had a son when he broke up with the young player's mother many years ago.

The young general deleted the post again.

What a family drama.

It successfully brought the Brazilian Olympic team, which had not received much attention, into the limelight and made people know the No. 9 kid who was included in the Olympic team's roster.

As the only son of football genius Ronaldinho.

It was Batista.

Ronaldinho has a son?

2L
Judging from the kid's attitude, he is probably going to abandon his wife and children. I think he wants to use the Internet to repair his relationship with his son.
3L
I guess it was available during the 98 World Cup. I looked up the time on Wikipedia and it's about the same time.

4L
How come they don't look alike at all?

5L
The eyes look similar

6L
Is it a good thing to look like Ronaldinho? Fortunately, he doesn't, and there is a new handsome guy in football

7L
Damn, I just checked out a foreign forum and they were talking about this as well. Someone leaked a photo and said that it was the child's biological mother.
The internet is a bit slow, I downloaded this from a foreign forum, you can see it for yourself. I don't know what to say, it's a pretty retro photo, around 2000.

What the hell is this? Is this some kind of angel? Why is he attracted to Ronaldinho, just because he plays football well?

9L
It’s amazing. Fortunately, his mother has strong genes. Little Batistuta is really good, a typical South American handsome guy.

10L
Why do you always care about appearance? I don’t get it at all, including Neymar, whom you praise.

11L
This is not handsome! Then I don't know what handsome is. But to be honest, this is really lucky. Even if Ronaldinho looks like that, Batistuta's looks are still the ceiling of football.

12L
Ah, I have seen the woman in this photo. She is very famous in Rio. She was Ronaldinho’s girlfriend before he went to Europe. There was a rumor that they were going to get married, but then nothing happened.

13L
So it was... Batty's mother running with the ball?
14L
It has the flavor of old-fashioned romance.

15L
I eat it, I eat it! I'm crazy about this look! South American football beauty! Batistuta! Mommy's baby!
16L
No male mother

17L
Alas, I don’t really like dark skin. It would definitely look better if he could be a little whiter.

18L
What dark skin? This is called honey skin, the synonym of sexiness.

19L
Wait, I'm getting off topic, where is his mother now? Why didn't Ronaldinho go to his mother to find him? Wouldn't it be better to start repairing the relationship with his mother?

20L
I heard on the internet that his mother died a long time ago, when he was very young.

21L
No way. I saw someone on the Internet saying that he is not Ronaldinho's biological son at all, but is just a special care for his promising younger generation.

22L
If you look at Ronaldinho’s Twitter, you will see the word “my son”. Would you say the same to your juniors?

……

Whether at home or abroad, this topic has been hyped to an unprecedented level.

In the end, it was Batistuta who gave an authoritative explanation - Ronaldinho was indeed his biological father, and it was his mother who proposed the breakup. So Ronaldinho found a new girlfriend in a fit of anger, and his mother did not tell her that she was pregnant.

It was not until she died of illness and Ronaldinho went to visit her that he discovered that he had a son.

But the gap between them was too deep. Whenever Barty saw him, he looked at him with hostility. If you didn't know, you would think that Ronaldinho had killed his mother.

...

In a villa in Sao Paulo, Brazil, a black boy is feeding grapes to a honey-skinned boy who is playing games next to him.

Black teenager: "Bati, check Twitter, Ronaldinho wants to meet you."

"No." Batty rejected him quickly and firmly.

The black boy is his younger brother, whose real name is Mark. Batty usually calls him by his nickname, Loach. They have known each other for many years.

"Go ahead, he's a football wizard after all." Niuqiu picked some grapes and put them into Batistuta's mouth. He said, "We are blood relatives after all, so let's make a lot of money from him."

"That guy is just suddenly in love." Batty snorted and snatched the grapes from Loach's hand and ate them himself. While stuffing his mouth with food, he said nonchalantly: "Besides, he doesn't have much money, right? Let him keep it for his old age. All of my godfathers are richer than him, and my godfather is a big shot who owns half of Hollywood."

"That's true." Loach nodded. He knew he was not very smart, so he found the most powerful Batti to be the boss. Fortunately, Batti did not despise him.

"So are we going to have a celebration party?" asked Loach.

Loach put the fruit plate back on the table and helped Batty smooth her hair.

His job was simple - to follow Batistuta closely. Besides, he stayed with Batistuta every step of the way, helped him in life, and was responsible for satisfying Batistuta at all times.

This is standard for every Brazilian star.

Neymar even has half the team's number of younger brothers, while Batistuta only has him. This relationship started when they were 5 or 6 years old and has never changed.

"No," Batty replied, "They will open it after we start intensive training."

Loach nodded again, agreeing that this was one of the basic principles of being a younger brother.

Batty never scolded him, and his occasional sweet complaints even made Loach feel happy. No matter how others said Batty was arrogant and annoying, in Loach's heart he would always be the boy who helped him collect protection fees with bruises on his face and took the initiative to ask him if he wanted to be his younger brother.

"mark."

Batty spoke without warning. He seldom called Loach by his real name, but if he did, it meant he was serious.

"After the Olympics, let's go to Europe," he followed.

Loach looked at the profile of Batty and without thinking, his lips and tongue took over all the work.

He heard himself say, "Okay."
