i want to be king

Chapter 215 You have all changed! [The first explosion, begging to subscribe to the monthly pass! 】

In the early morning, in the riverside park under the da Gama Bridge in Lisbon, the small football field began to be lively.

Three young people were playing football in a field. No matter who grabbed the ball, the other two would attack in groups.

They made a mess, it looked like they were playing, but in reality they were more like playing. Sometimes they would do everything they could to snatch the ball, and they even simply hugged each other from behind.

This caused bursts of laughter in the peaceful riverside park.

After an unknown amount of time, the three of them, who were sweating profusely, lay directly on the grass, with their hands behind their heads, staring at the blue sky in a daze, and the joy on their faces slowly faded away.

"Last night, Hugo kept pestering you to ask about Valencia's situation. Does he want to leave Newcastle?" Ronnie asked.

"Yes." Su Dong replied, and after a few seconds of silence, he spoke again, "He and Robson had a falling out."

"Isn't Robson very optimistic about him?" Pepe asked strangely.

Su Dong smiled slightly, "Pepe, how high do you think this kind of promising value is?"

Pepe fell silent.

Yes, in professional football, personal emotions are never worth anything.

Bobby Robson may have been so fond of Hugo Viana that he was willing to pay a high price for him, but so what?
When Ugo Viana went to Newcastle, when he found that the Portuguese midfielder could not integrate into Newcastle, when he found that the player he was optimistic about could not bring help to his team, then he would not hesitate to put this player in the sidelines.

This is Bobby Robson's work ethic as a head coach and his way of saving himself to keep his position.

The head coach has always put grades as the first consideration. If they lose their grades, they can only dismiss get out of class.

Optimistic about a player, giving support and help, it is all based on the premise that he can keep his coaching position.

Ugo Viana and Bobby Robson may have once regarded each other as Maxima and Bole, but after getting along, in the face of the cruel reality, they can only compromise, or even part ways, as strangers.

Professional football, especially the four major leagues, will not show mercy and sympathy to anyone at all.

"Mendez wants to work for him to La Liga?" Ronnie asked again.

"Yeah." Su Dong nodded. This was what Mendes told him personally. "He has just started in La Liga. He is more sure about Valencia, so Hugo asked me about the situation in Valencia."

"What do you think?"

Su Dong shook his head, "I don't know, but I think it will be difficult for him to play as the main player when he comes to Valencia."

"Baraja and Albelda are also the world's top defensive midfielders, and they are also Spanish players. Competing with them, Hugo really has no advantage." Ronnie also felt quite embarrassed.

Ugo Viana was once the target they looked up to, and he was once the most successful player in the Sporting Lisbon youth academy. He landed in the Premier League with Bobby Robson's high hopes. Everyone felt that he would become the second Rui Costa.

But who would have imagined that in just two years, everything has changed.

Suddenly, all three fell silent.

"I think you've all changed a lot." After a long time, Pepe suddenly broke the silence.

The Brazilian central defender let out a long sigh, "Ricciardo was also depressed last night. He couldn't wait for his chance in Barcelona. And Ronnie, you don't look as happy as before. And Sue, you are the best in our group, but it feels like you are carrying a lot of heavy burdens."

Neither Su Dong nor Ronnie answered, but they couldn't help but think about Pepe's words.

They do all change.

In the past, when they were in Lisbon, they could play football without any worries, 24 hours a day, except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time could be used for playing football and playing games.

But now, they have to think more. They all have their own pressure to survive and face fierce competition.

From the day he left Sporting Lisbon, no, even from the day Su Dong joined Sporting Lisbon, he seemed to have embarked on a road of no return, and could only bury his head and rush forward until one day, he couldn't move forward.

He is, Ronnie is, and Pepe must be.

All professional players should be like this!

"I met Jose a few days ago." Pepe laughed suddenly.

Jose Semedo, who used to be their best friend, is now on loan to play for a Portuguese League team. His performance is quite satisfactory. After all, he is a player from the Youth Training Camp of Sporting Lisbon.

"He should be the most comfortable in our group now. Apart from training and competitions, he just picks up girls every day. I heard that he almost fucked the belly of an adult. He was so scared that he didn't dare to go out for a week."

Su Dong and Ronnie laughed.

No waves for a week, which really frightened Jose Semedo.

After laughing, there was another silence.

"A lot of people left the youth team, Hugo Pina also left, and Fabio Costa said he would not play football..."

Pepe introduced what happened in the Sporting Lisbon youth academy and the second team in a very flat tone.

These are the friends and teammates of Su Dong and Ronnie when they were in Sporting Lisbon. They should be very familiar names, but now they sound so strange.

"From the day we made the choice, there is no choice!" Su Dong said suddenly.

Ronnie turned his head to look at him when he heard it, and then turned back to look at the sky, showing a thoughtful expression.

Su Dong is quite right, after choosing, there is no choice.

Ugo Viana chose Newcastle, and the high-speed rise of his career was cut off. Whether he can get back on track or not depends on his own luck and hard work; Quaresma went to Barcelona, ​​and his upward momentum was also suppressed.

Right now, among the group of people going out of Sporting Lisbon, Ronnie is barely in the middle of the law at Manchester United, with mixed results. Only Su Dong is in the limelight in Valencia, but what does this mean?

Now that the limelight is on the rise, what's next?
This season is good, what about next season, next season?

They had no choice but to grit their teeth and rush forward!

No matter what is in front of you, you must overcome and overcome it!

…………

"Frankly, I'm a little jealous of you!"

Back at the hotel, after showering and changing into dry clothes, Su Dong and Ronnie went to the breakfast room for dinner.

The two sat by the window, facing the beautiful scenery outside the window, enjoying a delicious breakfast.

Ronnie suddenly said this for no reason.

Su Dong was slightly taken aback, then laughed, "Then I'm very happy, because I've been jealous of you since the first time I saw you."

Ronnie couldn't help laughing too.

This smile seemed to melt the iceberg between the two and bring them closer together.

"Manchester United is a very special team. Ferguson is also a very special head coach. And those players are all top stars in the world. Queiroz is gone. I don't have any friends in this team. I can only train every day and keep training."

"I understand." Su Dong nodded.

It was the same feeling when he first landed in Portugal.

"Manchester United fans don't like me because I'm completely different from any player they've ever known. You know, Beckham never lets the ball stick to his feet, but I'm different. I like to dribble.

There was strong dissatisfaction in Ronnie's tone, obviously unable to understand Ferguson's decision.

"Sometimes I even wonder, what did he like about me in the first place?" Ronnie was confused.

Su Dong knew that Ronnie was indeed at a very dangerous critical moment at this moment. If he was not careful, he might repeat the mistakes of Hugo Viana. If he couldn't stay at Manchester United, his career would be in danger.

"Are you scared?" Su Dong asked suddenly.

Ronnie frowned, and looked at Su Dong in disbelief, "I'm afraid? Am I afraid?"

"Then what are you worried about? What are you struggling with?" Su Dong asked back.

"When Ronaldinho played in Ligue [-], his style was not liked by the head coach, so he was also very depressed. But when he arrived in Barcelona, ​​he met Rijkaard. Rijkaard told him to dribble the ball boldly and in the key areas of the opponent. If they foul, we can get a free kick in the frontcourt."

Ronnie thought about Su Dong's words, as if he had grasped something, but he seemed to have grasped nothing.

"The key issue is not others, but you. What do you think you like and what you are good at, then look for a direction to do it. Maybe Ferguson asked his teammates to shovel you, not because he wants you to take fewer penalties, but because he wants to help you adapt to the defensive strength of the Premier League?"

"Have you talked to him about it?"

Ronnie fell silent.

Obviously, he didn't talk to Ferguson about it.

"I still remember when the two of us were promoted to the first team together. At that time, you were younger than me, but you pestered the coaching staff every day to ask for playing time, but now? You are afraid!"

Ronnie was speechless.

Su Dong was right, he was indeed a little scared.

Perhaps because of joining Manchester United, he got too much and began to worry about gains and losses.

"Ronnie, you are not the most talented genius I have ever seen. I even think that Quaresma's talent is higher than yours, but why have you made it this far?"

Before Ronnie could answer, Su Dong took the initiative to reveal the answer.

"Because you are more diligent than anyone else, you treat yourself harder than anyone else, you have speed, explosive power, skills, and strong physical strength. I believe that Ferguson's vision will not be wrong."

"Not only Ferguson, but also Scolari. He gave you the starting position for the national team. You are the only one. Even though this is just a warm-up match to inspect players, do you think Scolari will aim for nothing?"

After listening to Su Dong's words, Ronnie fell into deep thought for a long time, and when he raised his head again, he seemed to have untied some knots in his heart.

"I understand."

Or maybe he knew it all along, just wasn't quite sure.

Su Dong's words made him see the direction more clearly.

"You invited me yesterday, today it's my turn to treat you!" Ronnie laughed.

Su Dong smiled and nodded, "That must be."
