Chapter 272: A Glance at the Top

*7:10 pm*

Jason was still at the CTFD Portogaia training ground for the Porto senior tram, hard at training.

Everyone else had left, even the trainers, and Jason was the only one still on the training ground juggling the ball.

He had single-mindedly been juggling the ball for almost two hours.

It had been two full months before he could simply lose himself in training like this and Jason didn’t let go of the first opportunity he got to train as much as he wanted with the ball.

The team doctors would disagree with him training this hard, saying that it could increase the risk of re-injury, but their thoughts didn’t matter to Jason who thought to himself that since he was using his legs mostly for the training and not his previously injured shoulder, there should be no problem.

However, he also didn’t want to overdo it, so he brought his training session for the day to an end and went to wash up before packing up his things and beginning to leave.

As Jason walked toward the car park while enjoying the evening breeze, he thought he heard a noise coming from the training ground of the Porto juniors as he walked by the training grounds.

Normally, Jason would have ignored it, but it was already evening, so it was a bit strange to hear the sound of a ball at the training grounds.

Jason had an elaborate thought process and he knew that he was a special case, which was why he was able to train till now, and it was something he was proud of.

Suddenly feeling the urge to see who the like-minded individual who was still training at this time, Jason headed into the training ground and soon came to the side of the green field.

On the field was a figure clad in green and red training gear that had the Portuguese national team’s emblem on its chest, running back and forth between cones with a ball at his leg, before unleashing a powerful shot that made Jason’s hair stand on end.

As Jason caught a glimpse of the figure’s face, his mouth dropped open in shock.

How could he not be shocked when a figure who stood out in the football world as the image of hard work, unwavering dedication and determination, and egoistic pride that was supported by results, was training right in front of him?

Right now, he had merely embarked on his journey to arrive at the top, and he was still not even in his prime age yet, but Ronaldo who was already at an age where most footballers had either retired or were planning to was training harder than him without getting distracted for a second.

Jason suddenly felt ashamed of himself.

Various thoughts that could justify his actions popped up in his head.

He was just coming off an injury and had already overdone his training, excessive training could prove to be harmful, e.t.c.

All those thoughts swirled around in his head and tried to make him feel better, but Jason couldn’t accept it.

He had already failed to reach the top once, but even after getting another chance he was still not doing the best he could possibly do.

As for the thought that he had already done his best, Jason called bullshit on that thought.

Jason didn’t know when Ronaldo arrived, but estimating that Ronaldo came earlier than his teammates and was still here, it was impossible for Jason to have trained more than him, yet Jason’s muscles were already screaming.

If his muscles were screaming, then Ronaldo was probably going through worse especially since he was double of Jason’s age, yet he still stubbornly persisted.

‘I’m not doing enough,’ Jason thought to himself as he turned around and headed out of the training ground and went to his car.

He was too embarrassed to walk up to Ronaldo who he admired and wanted to surpass when he wasn’t even doing enough.

Jason quickly drove home and despite the hunger pangs that were hitting him waves, he went to the room where he kept his gym equipment and hopped on the treadmill.

From that day henceforth, he planned to train till he was half-dead.

Merely surpassing the limits wasn’t enough, he had to surpass the surpassed limits time and time again until he could stand above everyone.

Maybe at that time, he wouldn’t be embarrassed to stand beside a player like Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi.
