i want to be king

Chapter 307

On the evening of the [-]th of July, the Stadium of Light in Lisbon.

When the referee Merk from Germany blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Stadium of Light was filled with mourning.

Portugal missed a great opportunity to reach the top of the European Cup at home!

Throughout the game, Portugal was besieging Greece, but the Greek Legion trained by Emperor Otto relied on an unbreakable overall defense to block Portugal's offensive.

In 7 minutes, the Greek team relied on a corner kick, and Charisteas beat Carvalho to score with a header.

Afterwards, Portugal's offensive became more violent, almost directly over the halftime.

No.80 minutes, with a long pass from Rui Costa, Ronnie inserted very quickly. After stopping the ball on the left side of the penalty area, he dribbled the ball directly into the penalty area and volleyed with his right foot, equalizing the score for Portugal.

This goal once made Portugal see the hope of reversal!
The entire Stadium of Light is also calling for the birth of heroes!
The score of [-] to [-] entered overtime. The two sides continued to fight hard, but neither of them could score again, and finally entered the penalty shootout.

The brutal penalty shootout was frightening, but the Greeks were clearly more prepared.

Otto the Great's team was very stable in the penalty shootout, but Portugal's penalty kick rate was not high.

In the end, the Greek team won the penalty shootout, and Portugal lost regrettably!

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, countless people in the Stadium of Light were crying bitterly.

On the court, Ronnie, who missed many good opportunities, cried bitterly.

……

Accompanied by Messi, Pepe and Jose Semedo, Su Dong sat in the stands of the Stadium of Light.

He watched his best friend lose on the court, and he burst into tears, and he felt very uncomfortable.

Perhaps, at this moment, the fans and media all over the world are cheering for Greece to create a miracle, or criticizing Ronnie for missing good opportunities in a row, but in the eyes of Su Dong, Ronnie really tried his best!
Maybe he's crazy, maybe he missed a lot of opportunities, but he really did his best!

No one can criticize a person who has tried his best to do better, it is difficult for others.

"It's been a difficult season for him!" Pepe sighed.

Su Dong sighed and nodded. He knew more than anyone else, so he knew how difficult it was for Ronnie.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that in this European Cup, Portugal's ability to reach the final is due to Ronnie's outstanding performance.

But in the final, the Greeks didn't give him too much space to dribble the ball. Their impregnable walls made it difficult for Ronnie's sharp speed and sidewalk breakthrough to be a threat. Even so, he still created several opportunities.

It is indeed regrettable that Pauletta and others missed the opportunity.

Looking at Portugal's offensive lineup, Figo is old and Pauleta is not strong enough. Now it is barely supported by Deco and Ronnie.

Passing by the European Cup champion is considered a failure for Portugal, but not necessarily for Ronnie.

His performance is obvious to all.

Sometimes, missing opportunities is also a manifestation of strength.

Otherwise, how to explain that others are not even entitled to miss the opportunity?

…………

…………

She wiped away her tears, but could vaguely see her slightly red and swollen eyes.

When seeing Su Dong, Ronnie obviously almost cried again, but soon sniffled his nose again, greeted him with a smile, and hugged Su Dong vigorously.

"So glad you came to see me play, sorry dude I screwed up!"

Su Dong didn't see his expression at this moment, but from his slightly trembling body, he could feel that he was suppressing his urge to cry, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"It's okay, there is still a chance, and we will make a comeback in four years!" Su Dong patted Ronnie on the back and comforted him.

After Ronnie took a deep breath, he let go of Su Dong.

"You have to ask Jose for this kind of thing." Su Dong smiled and pointed at Semedo.

"Me?" Semedo was taken aback, "How did I have this experience?"

He is a player who can't even play in the Portuguese Super League. How can he play in the European Cup final?
"It's not the experience of competition, but the experience of picking up girls." Su Dong laughed.

Everyone was taken aback, what is this and what?
"The championship trophy is like a beautiful woman. The better you treat her, the harder you pursue her. If you are a licking dog, the more she will ignore you. But look at Jose, the secret to picking up a girl is to be indifferent. On the one hand, he is humorous and active to you, and teases you from time to time, but on the other hand, he deliberately keeps a distance. The distance creates beauty and imagination."

Ronnie was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and turned to look at Jose Semedo, and then back at Su Dong. He didn't quite understand, but he seemed very powerful. Is it true?

Jose Semedo wanted to cry, "I just want to pick up girls, how can there be so much reason?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and even Ronnie couldn't help smiling, which greatly diluted the impact of the defeat in the European Cup final.

……

After Su Dong introduced Messi to Ronnie, a group of people went to Pepe's house near Wanguo Park.

After going around, Pepe moved into Su Dong and Ronnie's house.

They sat on the familiar but somewhat unfamiliar balcony, staring blankly at the riverside park downstairs and the Da Gama Bridge in the distance, full of memories.

They have all changed!
In just over a year, they have changed a lot.

Su Dong is already the hottest super talent in Europe, creating the highest transfer fee record in football history.

Ronnie also performed better and better at Manchester United. His dazzling dribble moves became less and less, but his performance became sharper and sharper. He began to become a sharp weapon.

Pepe has become the backbone of Sporting Lisbon's defense. He is not yet well-known for the time being, but he has established a firm foothold in the Portuguese Super League and has performed well. Some media have even begun to call for Pepe to be naturalized as a Portuguese international like Deco.

Jose Semedo hasn't changed much. Picking up girls is still his main job, and playing football is just a part-time job. God knows how this kid's body can be so good, and he can bear it after working so hard every day.

"I think we are like kites in the sky. We used to be led by a looming thread. At that time, we were very impatient and always wanted to get rid of this thread. We wanted to fly to higher and farther places."

"But now, the thread is broken, and we are drifting farther and farther away, but our hearts are getting more and more panicked, and we are starting to miss those days when we were held by the thread."

Pepe suddenly expressed a series of emotions very poetically.

Su Dong and Ronnie looked at each other, both of them were surprised by Pepe's poetic charm.

Is this the reckless man who was nicknamed "Monk" by his opponent?

"Pepe, are you in a relationship?" Jose Semedo asked suddenly.

Unbelievably, after showing a little panic, Pepe became shy.

Su Dong and Ronnie were even more shocked.

Needless to say, one can tell by looking at his face that this kid is probably in love.

"Oh, my dear, which girl is so unlucky that you have taken a fancy to it?" Ronnie immediately sat up.

At this time, he has temporarily let go of the pain caused by the defeat in the European Cup final, and turned to care about the love of his friends.

"What?" Pepe was dissatisfied, "Am I so bad?"

"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me, who?" Ronnie asked impatiently.

Pepe waved her hands embarrassingly, "We haven't officially started yet."

"Unrequited love!" Jose Semedo pointed to the point.

Under the "siege" between Ronnie and Jose Semedo, Pepe finally couldn't bear the torture and confessed with leniency.

It turned out that he was secretly in love with a girl, but he refused to say what kind of occupation and name it was.

However, this was enough to surprise Su Dong and others.

Pepe, who works so hard on the court, meets a girl she likes, but she doesn't even dare to confess her love.

"I'll go, you're so cowardly!" Ronnie complained disdainfully.

Since breaking up with Jordana, Ronnie has been in the UK like a duck to water, and there is never a shortage of girls around him. Coupled with the gossip spirit of the British media, his love life is exposed from time to time, which leads to him now tending to develop in the direction of a prodigal son.

Su Dong also felt subversive, but it also fit his impression of Pepe.

Although the Brazilian is quite fierce on the court, but off the court, he is really a very nice person, even a little shy.

Life forced a shy child to play his life on the court, but deep down, he still retains the innocent character of the year, which is somewhat embarrassing.

The same goes for Messi.

He is even more introverted than Pepe, but in order to get into the first team, he is also very hard on the pitch.

When Su Dong turned his head and looked at Messi, the Argentine was looking at them enviously.

Since childhood, he has never had many friends, even Cesc Fabregas and Pique, they are more teammates in the team. There are really no friends who really make friends, and he is always alone.

But also because of this, he was particularly envious of Su Dong and Ronnie, who were able to speak freely and even tease and sarcasm each other. Only true friends could do this.

"Leo, have you seen it? When you meet a girl you like in the future, don't be like Pei, you should express your love bravely and boldly, otherwise it will be a pity if you miss it, you know?"

At the end, Su Dong was like a big brother, persuading him earnestly, and reached out to stroke his hair.

Messi didn't know what he thought of, but he showed a smile of sweet memories, which made the well-informed Jose Semedo immediately aware of the abnormality.

"No, Su, he also has a girl he likes!"

"Ah?" Su Dong immediately turned to look at Messi.

Messi is more shy than Pepe, and looks like he doesn't pretend to be self-confident.

"Fuck, I didn't expect that you are pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. If you don't make a show, you will become a blockbuster. How old are you, and you are in love?"

Messi nodded slightly shyly, as a tacit consent.

Su Dong suddenly became very desperate, especially when he saw the malicious eyes of the people around him, he had the feeling of picking up a brick and hitting himself in the foot.

The other three all have girls they like, or have many girls they like, but he is the only one.

This is indeed a world that is extremely unfriendly to single dogs!
