It was fate that the two of them participated in a prestigious international painting competition. Surprisingly, the boy won the prize while the teacher failed. But the teacher was not offended or upset, but happily congratulated him and said that they were now colleagues. He remembered that in the past, the teacher had bragged to everyone that he was proud to have a student like him.
He nodded: Talent is not determined by age, because sometimes they have "karma" from a previous life, just as individuals can have surprising breakthroughs that even the author cannot foresee. However, besides talent, the martial spirit of knowing how to respect and admire opponents is also something that needs to be honored.
It is sad that Real Madrid recently boycotted the Ballon d'Or award after the news that Vinicius did not win the gold medal was leaked. Because Rodri is very deserving when considering both the playing front for the club and the national team.
Moreover, Vinicius is just an individual and football is a team game. Real Madrid Club also has 3 other titles: Best Men's Team, Best Men's Coach and Top Scorer in the 2023-2024 season. But the entire Real Madrid team did not have a single member to receive the award.
The artist defended: But it also shows the solidarity of the whole team as well as the club's leadership for Vinicius. And Real's boycott will lower the prestige of the award.
He shook his head: If that were the case, it would only increase Vinicius's star disease, but if coach Ancelotti - the architect of all the team's victories - did not win a trophy, the whole team would boycott it. People always say that sport is noble and the purpose of sport is not just winning. But behaving like Real would easily give the feeling that they are too greedy, too arrogant, and consider winning to be everything.
The artist sighed: In this day and age, winning comes with bonuses, just like many players who play for foreign clubs are more enthusiastic about playing for the national team because the club is the one who pays them daily.
He smiled: Okay, back to your story. How much money did you win from the painting contest? Was it enough to live comfortably for the whole year, or was it just a spiritual victory?
