- 1 Month Later - < Outside >

*TAH*TAH*TAH* A boy could be seen dribbling a football while walking.

I asked my Mama for a football after the World Cup. She got it for me on my birthday a week and a half ago. I turned 3 years old. My birthday is January 7th. Since I got the Football I've been playing with it everyday. I just love the feeling of the ball at my feet it makes my heart beat so fast its the greatest feeling ever!

"LEANDRO COME EAT!" Maria yelled out from the inside the house.

"Ah, Huh? Oh yes Mama." Leandro said hurriedly as he was awoken from his trance.

- 5 Minutes Later - < Kitchen >

"Do you like it?" Maria asked with a grin.

" Like what?" Leandro asked with a questioning look.

"Football dear...Football" Maria said.

"Yes I love it its so...so... I don't know I just love it!" Leandro said with excitement.

"I would assume so since you bring it everywhere." Maria said with a sly smile as she pointed under the table.

The whole time they were talking Leandro was dribbling under the table.

"Well that's that's because...because...because!" Leandro tried to explain himself with an embarrassed look on his face.

The rest of the meal was silent as Leandro was too embarrassed to speak.

- 3 Years Later -

"Let's play a game!" A boy could be seen talking to a crowd of boys

"I heard he insults at you when he passes you." One boy murmured.

"I heard he made a boy cry." Another one murmured.

It's been like this for a while. Nobody around my age will play Football with me anymore. I started Playing with other kids when I was 4. And by the time I was 5 nobody wanted to play with me anymore. They call me "príncipe do futebol" And because of that nobody wants to play with me anymore. Well besides Juliana who is the only person that still plays with me anymore but we don't play football we just hangout. But I haven't had a real match in 6 months.

- 2 Years Later - < Football Pitch >

Leandro dribbled the ball to the Centre-Back Dragged the ball with his left foot to the right. Until the Centre-Back shifted his center of gravity. And then he tapped the ball with his right foot to the left and passed the defender. This would later be known as the "Leandinho" drag. Then he dribbled into the penalty box sank his left shoulder faked the right-footed shot and tapped it in with the instep of his left foot.

"GOOOAAALLLL!" Leandro screamed as he did his signature celebration that would come to be known as "The Kiss To God"

(A/N) Put your hand in a fist kiss in between your thumb and index finger and point to the sky that's how you do "The Kiss To God"

Meanwhile...

"That boy is special!" An old man said to what appeared to be his colleague.

"special enough?" The younger man said.

"He might become the Pérsa of Sao Paulo!" The old man said with excitement.

"Are you serious?" The young man was shocked that was the greatest compliment he ever heard the old man give.

"So you're going to give the report to Antonio!" The young man said with a crazed look.

"Yes." The old man said.

One might wonder why the young man was so excited. But this man's name was Jose Zamà and he'd only given out 6 Scouting reports in 40 years. But all 6 of those players won the WFA World Footballer Of The Year. He also was the right-hand man to Antonio Souza the man who created "Golden Sao Paulo" And the current head coach of Sao Paulo FC.

(A/N) WFA stands for World Football Association And its the only governing body of football at all as to erase the separation that was caused IRL like how pele and Maradona couldn't get the Ballon d'or and its been the existing governing for all of football history so a lot of Brazilian players and teams have what IRL would be called "European success"

After finishing the match with 3 goals Leandro was ready to go home but he was stopped by Jose.

"Boy do you wanna play higher level football?" Jose asked with a grin.

"Higher level?" Leandro said as he turned to Jose.

"Yes you would be training at a higher level with more skilled players and once you get older you'll play professionally." Jose said in a convincing manner.

"really?" Leandro said with a sparkle in his eye.

"Yes you just need a guardians signature." Jose said.

- 10 minutes Later - < Leandro's Home >

"MAMA!" Leandro yelled.

"Stop yelling Leandro!" Maria yelled as she Came out the door.

"Jo...Jo... Jose Zamà." Maria Stammered as she walked out the door.

"That is me." Jose said as he smiled as he walked up and shook Maria's hand.

"You know the old man Mama?" Leandro said with a look of stupor.

*PAH*

Maria slapped Leandro in the back of the head with a look of anger.

"Why did you d..." Leandro stopped speaking as Maria was looking at him with the eyes of death.

"Excuse my son." Maria said.

"It's alright I'm not young anymore." Jose said.

"May I ask why you are here Mr. Jose." Maria asked with a look of curiosity.

"I'm here for him." Jose pointed at Leandro.

"I want him in a black and red jersey if you know what I mean." Jose said with a smile.

"You mean you want Leandro to go to the academy?" Maria said in a half yelp half screech.

"Yes I would love him at the academy." Jose said.

"I'm also gonna talk to Antonio about your son." Jose said.

"Are you serious?" Maria said.

"Who's antonio?" Leandro asked.

"A man that you'll get to know very well" Jose said with a smile.

"What do I need to do?" Maria asked.

"Just sign here I'll handle the rest." Jose said.

"What exactly is happening?" Leandro asked as he had no clue what they were talking about most of the time.

"You're going to the Sao Paulo Youth academy boy." Jose said.

"Huh?" Leandro said.
