Uma viagem pelo futebol
Joel, a 16-year-old skilled soccer player from Porto Alegre, must navigate the challenges of a historic winter flood. As he faces numerous obstacles, he learns the value of wisdom and perseverance in his quest to become a professional soccer player.
Joel, a 16-year-old with short brown hair, lived in Porto Alegre. He dreamt of becoming a professional soccer player. One winter, a historic flood hit the city, making it impossible to train. The floodwaters damaged the local soccer field, and Joel felt his dreams slipping away. He needed to find a way to continue practicing despite the obstacles.
Joel decided to practice in his backyard, but the ground was too muddy. Each time he tried to kick the ball, it got stuck in the mud. Frustrated, he sighed and looked at the sky. - How am I supposed to get better like this? he wondered aloud. He knew he had to find another solution.
Joel's next idea was to practice at a friend's house. His friend, Lucas, had a small indoor space. However, it was too cramped for proper training. - I'm sorry, Joel, Lucas said. - This isn't working either. Joel felt the weight of his dreams slipping further away.
As days passed, Joel's frustration grew. The floodwaters showed no signs of receding. He started to lose hope and considered giving up. - Maybe I'm just not meant to be a soccer player, Joel said to himself. The thought of abandoning his dream made him feel empty inside.
One evening, Joel's grandfather visited him. - Joel, I know it's tough, but wisdom comes from overcoming challenges, he said. He handed Joel a book about famous soccer players who faced similar hardships. As Joel read, he felt a spark of hope reignite within him. - Maybe I can still make this work, Joel thought.
Inspired by the stories, Joel devised a new plan. He found an old, unused gymnasium in the neighborhood. With permission, he and his friends cleaned it up and turned it into a makeshift soccer field. The floodwaters began to recede, and Joel's determination paid off. He trained harder than ever and eventually got noticed by a local soccer scout. His dream of becoming a professional soccer player was now within reach.
