i want to be king

Chapter 276 Who is he?
"Why are you being so nice to me?"

When Su Dong heard David Silva suddenly asked this question, his first reaction was to laugh.

"Because I like you!"

"Huh?" David Silva was so surprised that he jumped up and looked at Su Dong in disbelief.

From his eyes, Su Dong read shock.

I treat you like a brother, yet you have such unreasonable thoughts about me?
"Fuck!" Su Dong slapped him directly, and slapped him on the head, "Where the hell are you thinking? Am I that kind of person?" He felt particularly wronged.

I, 1.9 meters five, 93 kilograms of handsome man, do you think I might be bent?
David Silva was patted on the head, instead of being annoyed, he laughed, "Let me just say, I am not your type, you are so tall and I am so short, we are not suitable."

Su Dong pointed at David Silva speechlessly, and said seriously, "I don't like men!"

"How do you prove it?"

Su Dong is speechless, how can I prove it?

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about this with you." Su Dong was a little depressed.

He originally just wanted to make a joke with David Silva, which 20-[-]-year-old boy didn't say a few nasty words of love to his best friends of the same sex?

In the end, I didn't expect that I couldn't get along with this short guy more and more.

"No, actually, what I want to ask is, why do you take care of me so much?" David Silva asked seriously.

"Do I take good care of you?" Su Dong replied angrily.

David Silva nodded seriously. Although he didn't say anything, Su Dong could read gratitude from his eyes.

This immediately made Su Dong calm down.

"To tell you the truth, I just take care of you because I like to touch your head, right? Look at Aimar's head and don't let me touch it." Su Dong couldn't help laughing at the end.

That's the benefit of being tall.

Although it's a reciprocity, the question is, can they touch Su Dong's head?
"I'm serious." David Silva was a little depressed.

Now Su Dong also saw his distress, thought about it, and became serious.

"To be honest, we first met because of swimming. Later, when you trained with me, I felt that you were a persistent person, and you played football very well. You are still a player of the Spanish National Youth Team, right?"

David Silva nodded, these are the facts.

"You know, when I was at a loss on the streets of Lisbon, I met my best friend. He helped me train and improve together. Without him, maybe I wouldn't be where I am now!"

Su Dong is very clear that the reason why his strength is constantly improving is because the Road to King system is constantly improving his potential, but along the way, Ronnie has really helped him a lot, especially at the beginning.

"So, I am willing to help more people who are waiting for opportunities within my ability, and I think that you are a player with great strength and great potential. You know, I never say those hypocritical polite words. I really think you can, so I suggest Benitez give it a try."

"Since Benitez also talked to you, it proves that he also thinks you can give it a try. Since this is the case, why do you doubt yourself? Is there anything else to worry about?"

Su Dong's rhetorical question left David Silva speechless.

Since the head coach decided to use him, why should he worry?

The young player who played in such an important game, all the pressure should be on the head coach.

Even if he played badly, hardly anyone would blame him, right?
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's good to be responsible, but it's not good to think wildly!" Su Dong smiled and stretched out his hand, touching David Silva's head, feeling really comfortable.

"Also, don't worry, if you're on the court and I'm standing in front of you, what are you afraid of?"

At the end, Su Dong raised his head confidently and laughed.

David Silva raised his head and saw two words in Su Dong's eyes.

trust!

…………

No one thought that Monaco would be able to break into the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Just like after the first round of the knockout round of the quarterfinals, no one expected that this Ligue [-] team could reverse Real Madrid.

Regarding its own strength positioning, Monaco still knows well.

Before leaving for the away game, Monaco held a press conference and announced the team's 18-man roster for Valencia.

Coach Didier Deschamps said in an interview with the media that Valencia is one of the best teams in Europe this season. It not only has an unbreakable defense, but also has the best scoring firepower in Europe.

"Sudong scored [-] goals in La Liga this season, together with Vicente and Rufete, this is the most powerful attacking striker in Europe this season, and it is also the biggest challenge we face in away games!"

Deschamps said that how to defend the attack of Su Dong and others will be a problem that Monaco needs to solve at the Mestagna Stadium.

For Aimar's absence, Deschamps couldn't hide his inner joy.

The Monaco coach said that he has fully prepared for Valencia's formation. With Aimar or without Aimar, Monaco has the confidence to deal with it.

"Of course, Aimar's absence did have a big impact on Valencia, but we can't be paralyzed by it."

As for away games, Deschamps said he didn't want too much.

"Even if Valencia scores first, we will not be surprised, because at the Mestagna Stadium, Valencia's offensive power is indeed very strong. We are confident that we will retreat from the away game when the opponent scores first."

What Didier Deschamps meant was clear, Monaco didn't want an away win, but a draw and away goals.

This is also a very pragmatic tactical thinking.

With away goals, back at the Stade Louis II, Monaco will play more confidently.

……

In order to better prepare for the game against Valencia, Monaco arrived in Valencia at noon the day before the game.

In the afternoon, they got Valencia's 18-man squad.

By convention, Monaco has always arranged for scouts to follow and spy on Valencia's intelligence.

Getting the list of 18 people is just the final confirmation.

But this time there was a slight change.

"David Silva?"

Deschamps saw a strange name that should not have appeared on it.

"Who is he?"

Jean Pettit is an old courtier of Monaco. He is 11 years older than Didier Deschamps. He has always been an assistant coach. He has been assisting the head coach of Monaco since the 80s. He is a veteran of many dynasties and has rich experience.

"A young player who was selected for the Spanish youth team. He looks good, but he is thin and short. He seems to be replacing Aimar. He is also very close in height. But so far this season, he has played very few games. He has performed well in the second team."

Deschamps nodded, frowned and asked, "Will it be there?"

"Probably not!" Gene Pettit guessed, "Benitez has always disliked risks and strives for stability when using troops, so he never uses players he is not familiar with, and rarely takes risks. I guess, it is likely to be a substitute, just in case, as a surprise soldier for a change."

Football is known as a war without gunpowder.

In a football game, it is not only necessary to study the opponent, but also to study the opponent's coach.

What kind of character Benitez is and what kind of tactics he likes, these are the opponents must focus on research.

Deschamps is fairly familiar with Benitez, and he also agrees with Pettit's guess.

Benitez, who has always been cautious, suddenly took the risk of letting the teenager play?

"It seems that Canobio is really not liked by him." Deschamps said with a chuckle.

In terms of qualifications, the substitute should also be Canobio. Now Canobio has not even entered the squad, but this David Silva has entered.

"Canobio is still very capable." Petit followed with a smile.

"Professional players are like this. Once the confidence is lost, it is very difficult to rebuild it. Now Canobio has no confidence in Valencia. Maybe changing a team will be completely different."

Deschamps is a very successful professional footballer!

……

In the two rounds against Real Madrid, Monaco adopted four-four-two tactics, but there was a big difference.

At the Bernabeu, Deschamps adopted the double striker combination of Morientes and Giuly, with Cisse and Gilvie on the right. As a result, Monaco completely lost the advantage of wing attack at the Bernabeu.

After returning to the Louis II Stadium, Deschamps made decisive adjustments. The right back Ibarra from Porto started, Giuly served as the right midfielder, and Pursau and Morientes formed a double forward.

This style of play allowed Monaco to give full play to its advantages.

Evra and Roten on the left, Ibarra and Giuly on the right, Monaco's two sides completely suppressed Real Madrid.

On the bench, Monaco also sits two generals, Adebayor and Roundup, both of whom have good strengths.

Facing Valencia this time, Monaco once again came to Spain. He still decided to continue the style of play against Real Madrid in the previous game. He believes that this is Monaco's strongest combat power at the moment.

"The biggest problem right now is with the centre-backs."

Deschamps has not yet made a final decision, that is, who will be arranged to freeze Sudong?
This is the biggest problem facing Valencia.

The player Su Dong is too troublesome.

Gilvey, Squillac and Rodriguez, these are the three central defenders that Deschamps trusts.

In terms of height, Gilvey is two centimeters shorter than the other two, only 1.8 meters three, but he is a left-footed player, and he has been in pretty good form recently.

Squillage is more stable, but his condition is not very good, while Su Dong is proficient in both left and right feet, and the two right-footed central defenders are indeed not very advantageous. This is also a detail that must be paid attention to.

It is precisely because of their own advantages and disadvantages that Deschamps has not yet decided on who will start to take on the burden of freezing Su Dong.

This is the key to whether Monaco can retreat from the Mestagna Stadium in this game!
