Chapter 439 The Black Guys Shock Ronaldo

Oddo stood in front of the goal, looking calm and composed.

It wasn't because he was very confident, but because he didn't understand.

Although Odo comes from a country where English is the official language, Africa has its own unique circumstances. It is quite normal for a country where 99% of the population is illiterate and cannot speak the official language.

As a high-achieving student who dropped out of primary school, it was already quite impressive that Oddo knew some basic vocabulary. He spent most of his time in France communicating with people through gestures.

As for why he went to France instead of the UK, it was simply because he didn't have the money. Smuggling himself into the UK would cost 20 euros more than going to France, which he simply couldn't afford.

Anyway, I only know a few words in English, so it doesn't matter where I go.

He stood quietly in front of the goal, like a pole.

He had heard of the man in front of him before; his name was Cristiano Ronaldo, and he was a well-known figure. He had seen him in a shampoo commercial.

The coaching staff who were watching were very surprised.

The goalkeeping coach frowned: "This guy doesn't even do the basic preparation posture. It's really uncomfortable to watch."

The head coach laughed and said, "You all saw his game; it was extraordinary. His movements are different from what we professional goalkeepers train. Don't look at him from a professional perspective. You might even gain some inspiration from it."

The goalkeeping coach bit his fingers in discomfort: "His training partner is Cristiano Ronaldo. Ronaldo's shooting skills are unparalleled in the football world. Even now, at over 40 years old, his shots are extremely tricky. His power, speed, and angle are all top-notch. Isn't this a bit of a waste of talent?"

"It was Mr. Luo's own request, and we couldn't refuse. How could I dare to let our star player be a sparring partner for the new signing? Mr. Luo was willing to lower himself to be a sparring partner mainly because he admires Oddo so much. He watched Oddo's game videos and insisted on trying out Oddo. Oddo was able to keep a clean sheet against Manelli, so his level is beyond doubt. Perhaps only Mr. Luo in the team is capable of going toe-to-toe with him."

Cristiano Ronaldo stood in front of the ball, got into position, glanced at the lazy Oddo in front of the goal, and flashed a hearty smile.

If he normally saw a player being so lax in training, he would definitely reprimand them immediately. For someone as disciplined as him, he simply cannot tolerate his teammates' slackness.

But this time it's different.

He had watched Oddo's game footage; Oddo had used this same lazy style to thrash Manelli, the current football king. This was an unusual goalkeeping technique from the opponent, and he should be careful.

Cristiano Ronaldo laughed heartily and said, "Get ready, I'm about to shoot!"

He took a deep breath, ran up, and shot; the ball flew into the net like a cannonball.

Oddo, however, remained unmoved, merely raising his hand slightly towards the football, his movements slow and deliberate, like an old man doing his morning exercise.

An awkward silence fell over the room.

Cristiano Ronaldo was stunned: "Does he look down on me?"

The head coach quickly explained, "No, no, he's probably just tired from the long flight and feeling unwell."

"That makes sense. We should schedule another practice session."

As soon as Ronaldo turned his head, he saw Oddo's clear and innocent eyes.

"He doesn't seem to be thinking very clearly. He definitely hasn't been getting enough rest."

After a day of rest, the team arranged another trial session, this time with the coaching staff providing training.

The result was astonishing; Oddo couldn't even complete the most basic save, let alone hang on the crossbar and flip up and down like he does in the game.

Whenever he takes a shot, Oddo simply takes a symbolic step toward the ball and raises his hand.

Even if the soccer ball flies directly towards his body, he can't catch it; it just bounces off his body.

The team even suspected that Oddo's injury during the game had damaged his brain.

Ultimately, since no contract was signed, Odo was only given tens of thousands of euros for travel expenses. Odo was overjoyed and took the money to America.

The remaining player was Benny, played by the young master Mang Ershao. This MVP of the match, who scored 7 goals against the Royal team, was immediately called in for a talk by the Royal team after the game. The Royal team's management unanimously decided that with such a performance, instead of wasting time on trials, they should sign him before any other teams made a move.

They signed the contract at a five-star hotel.

When the Royal Football Director presented the contract, the young master was quite dissatisfied.

Young Master Mang squinted and touched the numbers on the contract with his tongue, leaving a few saliva marks on the paper.

"800 million a year is too little. How can that be enough for everyone to live on?"

The sports director tried his best to relax his brow, which was furrowed with nausea.

The other party pointed at the contract with their tongue; although disgusting, their disdain was obvious.

If the opponent can maintain the performance of this game, an annual salary of 800 million is indeed too little.

What impressed him even more was that a down-on-his-luck high school teacher could remain so composed and even slightly disdainful upon hearing about an annual salary of 800 million euros, which was truly admirable.

Combined with his post-match interview statement, "If a club is good enough for me, come find me," he clearly displayed the air of a self-important protagonist.

However, this person does have the right to be arrogant; there is no one in the world who can severely damage the Royal team.

"What is your ideal price?"

Young Master Mang leaned back and casually asked, "What's the highest salary in your team?"

The football director tightened his lips.

He didn't expect that the other party was actually eyeing the team's top salary. Although he showed the level of the world's best player in this game, the team's top salary is not something that can be given casually.

Putting aside the possibility of resentment among the players, the team's finances simply can't afford to accept another top-salary player.

"We can't promise you a top salary, not because of your ability, but because the club's finances are really tight. We are willing to increase our offer to 1000 million euros a year and give you a signing bonus of 400 million euros. This money is enough to improve your current life."

"Then let's not talk about it, it's pointless. My salary has to be the highest in the world, otherwise it's disrespectful to me."

After saying that, Young Master Mang turned and left.

Subsequently, after news broke that the second young master was demanding the highest salary in the world, major clubs hesitated and gave up after only brief contact.

Some clubs offered trial invitations, but after Benny returned to his alien planet, he was simply unable to pass the trials.

All the clubs have commented that he does not have the level to become a professional player.

But he was quick-witted and made a lot of money through online live streaming.

Although these three stirred up a storm for a time, they never made a splash in the football world again.

But in some people's hearts, it left an indelible mark.

Manelli removed the poster of himself winning the Ballon d'Or from his bedside and replaced it with a poster of Oddo making a save.

Every day when he wakes up, he has to look at that poster for a long time before he can have breakfast.

His girlfriend was tormented, dreaming every night that a large black man was laughing at her from above.

Not only that, Manelli changed his phone's screen saver to Oddo.

He repeatedly asked the team's management why they hadn't bought those three players.
