A few days later, Leo called Emil. He happily told Emil that the foundation of his father¡¯s company agreed to provide him with the monthly cost of medication.
Emil was happy for his good friend, and emphasized by the way: "But you must also accept the money I sent."
Leo called first because he wanted to tell his friend the good news, and secondly he wanted to take this opportunity to refuse Emil's money. Who knew that Emil had already seen through his mind.
He had no choice but to accept the kindness with emotion and sourness, and secretly swore in his heart that Emil would be his best friend in this life.
Everything seems to be developing in a good direction.
But since then, Leo has never been able to come to Buenos Aires every summer, and every month Emil will send Leo a sum of money.
Until 2000, Argentina¡¯s economic crisis broke out.
The company where old Messi worked was affected. Not only did it significantly lay off employees and cut wages, but the foundation also decided to stop providing funding to Leo.
Although Leo¡¯s family still has some savings, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for Leo¡¯s illness.
What¡¯s more, old Messi not only has to treat his son¡¯s illness, but also supports a large family. But even so, he still didn't give up.
He negotiated with the senior management of Newell's Old Boys, hoping that the club would provide funding for his son, but the club rejected his request.
Old Messi had to seek help from other clubs.
At this moment, River Plate¡¯s willingness to sign is like a life-saving straw appearing in front of the Messi family.
Leo is unwilling to tell Emil about his current situation.
In his opinion, Emil has done enough for him. He is obviously the older of the two, but he seems to have always been cared for and helped by Emil.
But when he heard that he might transfer to River Plate, he still couldn't hold back his excitement and told Emir the news.
Emil was also very happy: "This way we can play football together again!"
He even began to think about Leo's life after coming to River Plate, "Leo, you can live directly in my house and we will go to the youth training camp to train together. The teammates of River Plate's youth team are very friendly, and I can introduce them to you, especially It¡¯s Gonzalo, you¡¯re going to like him.¡±
This is the first time since Leo got sick that the two of them had such a happy chat on the phone. They are extremely looking forward to that future, where they can win countless victories for the club as teammates.
Not far away, Benito smiled bitterly as he listened to his son's cheerful voice, but his eyes became firmer.
Andrea held his hand and whispered: "Since you have decided, then go ahead and do it."
Leo¡¯s performance in the youth team has long conquered Rosas, and he has been eagerly trying to bring this good prospect back to the river bed. After being contacted by the old Messi, the youth academy coach could not wait to agree.
But as a coach, he does not have a high say in the club. Even though he was very optimistic about Leo, it was River Plate that really provided funding.
Whether it¡¯s the Messi family, Rosas and Emile, they are all anxiously waiting for a reply from the club¡¯s top management.
But the outcome of the matter was unsatisfactory.
After high-level discussions, they decided that it was not worth spending so much on a small player. After all, they have seen many players who were known as geniuses when they were young, but few could actually play and bring benefits to the club. In their view, this is obviously a loss-making business.
The failure of transfer negotiations with River Plate undoubtedly pushed Leo into the abyss again.
The cruelest thing in the world is to give someone hope and then take it back.
A few days ago, Leo was still excitedly thinking about reuniting with his friends, but in the blink of an eye, he lost everything again.
The foundation stopped funding, putting him at risk of discontinuing his medication. Now 13 years old, he is only 140cm tall, and his disease is likely to keep him at this height and never allow him to grow taller.
He even began to wonder if this was his destined fate. Whenever he thought he had hope of recovery, everything that happened in reality seemed to tell him that it was just his wishful thinking.
Emile has been paying attention to this matter, but seeing Rosas go from excited expectations at the beginning to silence later, the coach even argued hard for Leo and the senior management, but he was unable to change the established result.
Even Rosas, a youth training coach who has been at River Plate for more than ten years, has not been able to keep Leo, and youth team players like Emile are not qualified to express an opinion on this matter.
He wanted to call Leo to comfort him, but he also understood Leo's pride. He didn't want Leo to reveal his vulnerability to him in such a moment.
The elder Messi began to contact scouts from European clubs, hoping to find other ways to treat his son.
And when Emil was worried about Leo, their family also experienced major changes.
This economic crisis swept the entire country. Emil's father, Benito, originally had his own company, but under this impact, in order to repay debts, he applied to the court for bankruptcy liquidation.
In addition to retaining necessary living materials, the other three properties under his name were all auctioned.
Although the Emir family has not been reduced to poverty, it is obviously unable to maintain its original standard of living. What's more, with the entire country's economic depression, it is impossible for every citizen to have an easy life.
As a perceptive child, it is impossible for Emil not to be aware of his own situation.
On the one hand, he was worried and sad about his good friend Leo's illness. Now that he had lost his financial support, he wished he could send more money to him every month. On the other hand, he felt that he had to continue to let his parents pay for the big changes at home. Paying for your own selfishness is a very selfish thing.
He fell into deep self-blame and self-loathing.
At this time, he realized that his power was so weak. He wanted to protect his family and friends, but in the face of such a predicament, he could do nothing.
At the same time, Higuain, who has the best relationship with him in the youth team, finally successfully promoted to the youth team. After he congratulated his friend for achieving his wish, he suddenly realized that the team he was in had become so unfamiliar at some point.
When he first joined the team, he was still the youngest. Four years later, the people he was familiar with either entered the youth team or transferred, and some even left the stadium long ago.
He became the most valued player in the coach's eyes, but he became increasingly unhappy.
At this time, Andrea, as a mother, was undoubtedly the first person to sense her son's emotions.
Although she is a housewife, her strength in the face of sudden difficulties supports the entire family.
With her encouragement, Benito decided to go to Europe with his friends to look for new opportunities.
At this time, under the persuasion of scouts, the old Messi made a desperate decision and decided to take his family to Barcelona.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the two people Emil loves most will leave him and head to distant Europe.
He felt that this should be the gloomiest day in his life.
He refused to see his father off and locked himself in his room on the day his father Benito left.
When Andrea opened the door with the key, she only saw a bulging quilt. Feeling sad and helpless, she took her son out of the quilt and looked at the usually calm child with red eyes and undried tears on his face.
She almost shed tears.
She blinked her eyes, held back her tears, took Emil's shoulder, and looked directly at her beloved son: "Emil, do you remember what you said when you helped Leo two years ago? When you learn to take responsibility In an instant, you are already an adult.
Benito left so that we could have a better life. If you know this and still want to vent your anger on him, it would be too naive. After he leaves, you are the oldest child in the family. Do you want to use this behavior to set an example for Chrissy and Oliver? "
Emil lowered his eyes. He quietly got out of the quilt. He walked out of the door and stood by the railing of the corridor on the second floor. He saw his father packing his luggage below.
He walked down the stairs, and under Benito's surprised eyes, he hugged his father and blessed him: "Dad, I hope you will go well in Europe."
Benito hugged his eldest son back. The 12-year-old boy was already 165cm tall, only one head shorter than him. However, the shoulders are still thin and the face still has a childish look.
He didn¡¯t say anything more, he just patted his son on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the house with his suitcase.
