บท 503: Prodigal Youth

Upon hearing the worries of his friend, Gabriel couldn't help but frown. Having known him for a long time, Gabriel naturally knew how hard-working his friend was. 

In fact, during their early years, he often dazzled everyone who watched him. 

Due to such a dazzling performance, many people had speculated Thiago would make it grand on the world stage once he debuted. 

But contrary to their expectations, he had turned out to be an average player. 

The expectations on him were great but he failed to fulfill them. Rather he was outdone by his friend who later went on to become a starting player of the national team while he struggled to get a call-up. 

So, it was only natural for him to feel frustrated. 

Gabriel looked at him deeply before responding, "You are doing well, Thiago. So, you shouldn't feel burdened about it."
