**********************************************************************************

In the evening, back at the hotel, the England U-17 team was winding down after their day's activities. Nathaniel Chalobah, always eager to keep the football spirit alive, gathered some of his teammates to watch a match on TV.

Chalobah: "Hey, guys! Brazil is playing Denmark tonight. Let's watch it together!"

The boys agreed enthusiastically and gathered in Chalobah's room. Daniel, Sterling, Lundstram, and the rest settled in, ready for an entertaining game.

The Mystery of Arthurzinho

As the match kicked off, the players watched intently. A few minutes into the game, an unfamiliar name caught their attention.

Daniel: "Who's that? Arthurzinho? Never heard of him."

Chalobah: "Yeah, who the hell is Arthurzinho? Never seen that name before."

The screen displayed a young Brazilian player, listed as a substitute. His name, Arthurzinho, intrigued them. Daniel, however, felt a strange sense of recognition.

Daniel (mumbling to himself): "There is no such player named Arthurzinho in the future... Am I not the one who reincarnated?"

Sterling: "What was that, Daniel?"

Daniel: "Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud."

A Rising Star

As the match progressed, Brazil's coach made a substitution, bringing on Arthurzinho. The young Brazilian immediately made an impact, dazzling the crowd with his quick feet, incredible dribbling, and flair reminiscent of Ronaldinho and Neymar.

Sterling: "Wow, this kid is something else. Did you see that dribble?"

Chalobah: "Yeah, he's amazing. But how come we've never heard of him before?"

Daniel: "Maybe he was playing on the streets before this and got picked up by scouts. Happens a lot in Brazil."

Arthurzinho's performance continued to impress, scoring a brilliant solo goal that left the entire room in awe.

Lundstram: "That was unreal. He could be a future star or maybe more than that."

Daniel's Revelation

As the game went on, Daniel couldn't shake off the feeling that Arthurzinho was someone special. He decided to take action. After the match, he pulled out his phone and called his agent, Jorge Mendes.

Daniel: "Jorge, it's Daniel."

Jorge Mendes: "Daniel, how are you? Great game today."

Daniel: "Thanks. Listen, I need to ask you something. Is there a player named Arthurzinho playing for any teams in Brazil?"

Jorge Mendes: "Arthurzinho? Let me check. Why do you ask?Hmm,theres no such player but I see,he currently have a massive number of teams try to sign him on free"

Daniel: "I saw him play today against Denmark. He's incredible. I think he has the potential to be a superstar. I want you to sign him and try to promote him to Liverpool."

Jorge Mendes: "Interesting. I'll look into it and see what I can do. If he's as good as you say, it shouldn't be a problem."

Daniel: "Thanks, Jorge. I just have a feeling about this kid."

Back with the Team

Daniel rejoined his teammates, who were still talking about Arthurzinho's performance.

Chalobah: "Daniel, where did you go? You missed the end of the match."

Daniel: "Just had to make a quick call. So, what do you guys think of Arthurzinho?"

Sterling: "He's amazing. If he keeps playing like that, he'll be a big name soon."

Lundstram: "Yeah, definitely. It was like watching a mix of Ronaldinho definitely a Joga Bonito."

Daniel: "Well, I called Jorge Mendes and ask him about Arthurzinho"

Chalobah: "Wow, really? That so fast, Daniel."

The Night Ends

As the night wound down, the players slowly made their way back to their rooms. Daniel lay in bed, his mind racing with thoughts of the future.

Daniel (thinking): "If Arthurzinho comes to Liverpool, we could have an incredible team. I just hope Jorge can make it happen but he is probably a reincarnated person just like me, he probably going straight for big teams"

The next morning, Daniel woke up with a renewed sense of purpose. The World Cup was still in full swing, but he couldn't help but think about the possibilities that lay ahead.

The Future Awaits

Daniel joined his teammates for breakfast, ready for another day of training and preparation. The team was focused, determined to go far in the tournament.

Coach Peacock: "Alright, boys. Great win yesterday, but we need to keep our heads in the game. Uruguay is next, and they're a tough side. Let's stay focused and keep working hard."

As the team huddled together, Daniel felt a surge of pride and excitement. The future was uncertain, but he was ready to face it head-on.

Daniel (thinking): "This is just the beginning. With hard work and determination, we can achieve anything."

With that resolve, Daniel and his teammates headed out for training, ready to continue their journey in the World Cup and beyond.

The morning sun streamed through the hotel windows, casting a warm glow on the England U-17 team as they gathered for breakfast. Daniel was still buzzing from the previous night's match and his conversation with Jorge Mendes. As he moved through the lobby, he noticed a group of Brazilian players arriving. Among them was Arthurzinho, the young sensation who had dazzled everyone on the pitch.

Daniel: (thinking) "No way. That's Arthurzinho!"

Seizing the moment, Daniel walked over to introduce himself. Arthurzinho was casually chatting with his teammates, his easy smile and relaxed demeanor standing out.

Daniel: "Hey, Arthurzinho! That was an incredible match last night. I'm Daniel Arrazi from the England team."

Arthurzinho turned to face Daniel, a curious smile spreading across his face.

Arthurzinho: "Obrigado, Daniel. It's nice to meet you. I saw your game against Rwanda. You played really well."

Daniel: "Thanks, man. Mind if I join you for a bit?"

Arthurzinho: "Sure, come on in."

The two found a quiet corner in the hotel lobby, away from the buzz of their respective teams.

Long Dialog with Arthurzinho

Daniel: "So, Arthurzinho, how did you end up on the Brazil U-17 team? I haven't heard much about you before last night."

Arthurzinho: "It's a bit of a long story. I grew up playing street football in Rio. Not many opportunities there, but I kept playing, hoping someone would notice. One day, a scout from Flamengo saw me playing and offered me a spot in their academy."

Daniel: "That's amazing. You really have a Ronaldinho and Neymar vibe. The way you dribble and control the ball, it's mesmerizing."

Arthurzinho: "Thanks! I've always looked up to them. I try to bring some of their flair into my game. But tell me about you, Daniel. How did you get started?"

Daniel: "I grew up in Liverpool, playing for their youth academy. Steven Gerrard was my idol. I wanted to play like him, lead like him. It's been a tough journey, but I'm getting there. I just secured a loan move to Borussia Dortmund after the World Cup."

Arthurzinho: "Dortmund, huh? That's huge. They're known for developing young talents. You'll do great there."

Daniel: "I hope so. I actually called my agent last night and told him to look into signing you. I think you have what it takes to play in Europe."

Arthurzinho's eyes widened in surprise.

Arthurzinho: "Are you serious? That's... wow. I don't know what to say. Thank you, Daniel. That means a lot."

Daniel: "Just speaking the truth. I can see you becoming a star in no time. So, what's it like growing up in Brazil, playing street football?"

Arthurzinho: "It's intense. The competition is fierce. Everyone wants to make it out and become a professional. You learn to play with passion, creativity, and a lot of heart. It's not just about skill, but also about surviving and making the most of every opportunity."

Daniel: "Sounds like it shapes you in ways an academy can't. I've always admired that about Brazilian players. The flair, the joy they bring to the game."

Arthurzinho: "Yeah, it's a different kind of education. But tell me, Daniel, what do you expect from Dortmund? It's a big move."

Daniel: "I'm excited but also nervous. I know it's a step up, but I'm ready for the challenge. I want to prove myself, improve my game, and come back to Liverpool stronger. Klopp has high expectations, and I don't want to let him down."

Arthurzinho: "You won't. Just keep playing your game, stay focused, and enjoy every moment. Dortmund is known for nurturing young talent. You'll fit right in."

Daniel: "Thanks, Arthurzinho. And you, what are your plans? Do you want to stay in Brazil, or are you looking to move to Europe?"

Arthurzinho: "I dream of playing in Europe. The competition, the atmosphere, everything is on another level. But for now, I'm focused on doing my best here at the World Cup and seeing where it takes me."

A New Friendship

The conversation flowed effortlessly between the two young talents, each sharing stories, dreams, and aspirations. Despite their different backgrounds, they found common ground in their love for the game and their desire to succeed.

Daniel: "You know, it's funny. We're from different parts of the world, but football brings us together. It's like a universal language."

Arthurzinho: "Exactly. No matter where you're from, when you step on the pitch, everything else fades away. It's just you, the ball, and the game."

Daniel: "I couldn't agree more. Hey, after the World Cup, if things work out, we should definitely keep in touch. Who knows, maybe we'll end up playing together someday."

Arthurzinho: "I'd like that, Daniel. Friends in football and beyond."

They exchanged numbers and promised to stay in touch, feeling a newfound sense of camaraderie and mutual respect.

Heading Back

As breakfast time came to an end, Daniel stood up to head back to his team.

Daniel: "It was great talking to you, Arthurzinho. Good luck with your matches. I'll be cheering for you."

Arthurzinho: "Thanks, Daniel. Same to you. Let's make this World Cup memorable."

Daniel returned to his teammates, who were getting ready for another day of training. Chalobah noticed the smile on his face.

Chalobah: "What's got you in such a good mood?"

Daniel: "Just made a new friend. Arthurzinho. You know, the Brazilian wonderkid we saw last night."

Sterling: "Oh, him? Nice. What's he like?"

Daniel: "He's a great guy. Talented, humble, and passionate about the game. We're definitely going to keep in touch."

Lundstram: "That's awesome. Who knows, maybe you'll both end up at Liverpool someday."

Daniel: "That would be something. But for now, let's focus on our next match. We've got a tournament to win."

As Daniel walked away from his conversation with Arthurzinho, he felt a sense of satisfaction and excitement about the new friendship. He made his way to the elevators, heading up to his room to get ready for the day's training. However, as he waited for the elevator, he realized he had forgotten his phone on the table where he and Arthurzinho were talking. He turned back to retrieve it, but what he overheard made him stop in his tracks.

Arthurzinho, now surrounded by a few of his Brazilian teammates, had dropped the friendly demeanor he had shown Daniel. His voice was louder, more arrogant.

The True Self Revealed

Arthurzinho: "Man, I can't believe how easy it is to fool these people. Born with this talent, easy money, easy women. Life's good, you know?"

One of his teammates laughed, seemingly used to this side of Arthurzinho.

Teammate 1: "Yeah, man. You've got it all. But be careful. People might catch on to your game."

Arthurzinho shrugged dismissively.

Arthurzinho: "Let them try. I'm just lucky, that's all. Reborn into this life with these skills. Who needs hard work when you've got talent like mine?"

Daniel Overhears

Daniel's eyes widened in shock. He stood frozen, hidden behind a large potted plant near the table. His mind raced.

Daniel (thinking): "What the hell? Is he... reborn too? This arrogant side, it's like he's a completely different person."

He listened as Arthurzinho continued to brag, his voice dripping with conceit.

Arthurzinho: "Football's just a means to an end. Fame, money, power. That's what it's all about. I didn't get reborn to struggle."

Teammate 2: "Reborn? What are you talking about, Arthurzinho?"

Arthurzinho smirked, realizing he might have said too much.

Arthurzinho: "Ah, never mind. Just talking nonsense. Anyway, let's get ready for training. More goals to score, more fans to impress."

As the group dispersed, Daniel quickly ducked out of sight, making his way back to the elevators with his phone in hand. He couldn't believe what he had just heard.
