When Cristiano Ronaldo joined Manchester United, the Portuguese sports team quickly introduced a replacement, "If you think I am the most talented, then you should go and meet Fabio Payim", Cristiano Ronaldo praised another talented rising star in an interview at Old Trafford.
Fabio Paim was the shining diamond of the Lion Academy, and at the time he was even more in the spotlight than Cristiano Ronaldo and Moutinho. However, when Cristiano Ronaldo has won five Ballon d'Ors awards, Parim has not even played a national team match. He himself admits it, and he doesn't deserve that much expectation.
Now, Payim's story is full of educational significance for young players. He joined Sporting Portugal at the age of 6, and by the age of 14, Barca, Real Madrid and Manchester United had sent scouts to visit him regularly, and even the French Football Association mobilized him to become French.
Portugal Sport, which tasted the sweetness in the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo, signed a contract extension with Payim early, with a weekly salary of up to 18,000 pounds. However, this became a turning point in failure.
In an interview, Payim said that he was paid a sky-high annual salary before he was 20 years old, which made him lose himself, "I spent a lot of money on the car. I love cars, I have Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, Maseratis, every car you can imagine I have. ”
Portugal Sport wants to inflate Parim's value with a high-paying contract and then sell for a high price, but it backfires, "When you have a lot of money, you need some good advice to help you keep working." I don't know what I'm doing, I believe I'm more talented than everyone else, I feel good, buy nice clothes, drive a nice car, and always have no one in sight. When I had a slightly bad performance, the outside world began to point fingers at me. ”
Unlike Cristiano Ronaldo, who was born on the barren island of Madeira, Paim is from Estoril, one of Portugal's top tourist and entertainment cities, with some of the most luxurious hotels and casinos in Europe, and a daily life paper drunk.
From a young age, Payim longed for that kind of life, and the big contract of Portuguese sports gave him the possibility of squandering, "When I was a child, my family had no money, and I couldn't even afford to buy sneakers. But once I got rich, I started doing a lot of things that I hadn't done before. The doors are open for me and I can do whatever I want. ”
Losing himself in the world of flowers and flowers, Payim failed to make it into the main squad of Portuguese sport. In 2008, when Cristiano Ronaldo had become a Premier League star, Payim also had the opportunity to try to catch up with the senior, and under the operation of Mendes, the 20-year-old Payim joined Chelsea, but that experience became the last straw that overwhelmed the camel.
Chelsea wantEd Payim to be their own Cristiano Ronaldo, but the Portuguese genius was accustomed to a life of luxury, often missing training, and after a season, Chelsea returned him. Since then, Paim has played for 12 different teams in 7 different countries, including Angola, Qatar, Malta and even Lithuania.
In 2019, Payim was arrested for possessing narcotics, "I'm not a role model worth learning from, hopefully young people don't be like me, in some ways I'm a little ashamed." ”
After years, Payim also began to reflect on his own problems, he clearly knew where he was doing wrong, and C Luo did it right, "Once upon a time, I could do more than him (C Luo), but he has some qualities that I don't have, he is very ambitious, he has enough motivation and desire to succeed." He had a good work ethic, and I didn't. My talent is as good as Ronaldo's, but I don't have any other abilities. ”
In this way, Payim and Cristiano Ronaldo went out of a completely different trajectory, which also became a lesson, urging those young players to work hard, "If I had some of Ronaldo's mental abilities, even if it was only a part, I would become one of the best players in the world." 」 But no one is born perfect. I thought talent was enough, but it wasn't. (Supine braces/zz)
