i want to be king

Chapter 323 Can't Wait Any Longer!
Ronaldinho, Ronaldo Jr. in Portuguese.

Once upon a time, Ronaldo was also "Ronaldinho", because when he first debuted, there was another famous Ronaldo in Brazil.

But gradually, Ronaldo used his performance on the court to turn the Brazilian surname Ronaldo into his exclusive noun.

As soon as Ronaldinho made his debut, he was hailed as Ronaldo Jr. Everyone expected him to follow in Ronaldo's footsteps, and he himself was the same, eager to change from Ronaldinho to Ronaldo like his predecessors.

From Gremio to Paris Saint-Germain, Ronaldinho has always lived in the shadow of Ronaldo Jr.

This situation did not improve slightly until the 3 World Cup in Korea and Japan, when he formed a [-]R combination with Ronaldo and Rivaldo and helped Brazil win the World Cup. However, many people still call him Ronaldo Jr.

He doesn't like the fine print!

From Paris Saint-Germain to Barcelona, ​​there are many reasons.

For example, officially, he has said many times that he is eager to succeed in Barcelona like Ronaldo, he is eager to achieve results in this giant team, and to prove his strength on the stage of the Champions League.

And things like he wasn't having a good time at Paris Saint-Germain.

But in the deepest part of his heart, he has a purpose that he has never told anyone about.

European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year!

These two awards are the key to his transformation from Ronaldinho to Ronaldo. Only when he wins will others give him recognition.

Russell was a friend he had known for a long time, who knew his thoughts and tried every means to persuade him to come to Barcelona.

Although, in the first season of joining, Barcelona couldn't even play in the Champions League, but he didn't care.

Because he believes that he can help this giant team usher in a revival.

Sure enough, Russell fulfilled the promise he made to him at the beginning. After a season of adjustments, Barcelona began to gradually get on the right track, and began to spend a lot of money to introduce Brazilian players, so that Ronaldinho could stay here very comfortably.

During the period, although there were disputes that Rijkaard almost dismissed get out of class, in general, it was still controllable.

But all of this changed after Su Dong joined!

If it is said that Ronaldinho has been Ronaldo Jr. for several years, whether it is the media, fans, or even Ronaldo himself, it has been certified, then Su Dong's turning out is like a sudden appearance.

Before he debuted in Portugal, no one had even heard his name.

As if overnight, he suddenly made his debut from Sporting Lisbon and suddenly became famous.

After that, the development of Sudong was out of control.

Sporting Lisbon won the Portuguese Super League and the UEFA Cup double. After switching to Valencia, he won the La Liga and Champions League double in the first season. What is even more frightening is that in the past two seasons, he won the Portuguese Super League, the UEFA Cup, La Liga and the Champions League, and the European Golden Boot.

Just turned 20, Su Dong is even younger and better than Ronaldo back then.

Overnight, the whole world frantically pursued Su Dong.

What Ronaldo enjoyed back then, and what he never enjoyed, all flocked to Sudong.

But all of this has nothing to do with Ronaldinho. He is still the number one star of Barcelona and still enjoys the privileges of the Barcelona team. Many people even say that Barcelona suffers from a terminal illness, Ronaldinho dependence.

But Su Dong, who had nothing to do with him, got involved with him after an 8000 million euro transfer of the century.

Su Dong came to Barcelona!
From the first day Su Dong joined Barcelona, ​​the whole world was discussing, which of the two will become Barcelona's top card?
The two are good friends, but they haven't reached the point of heart-to-heart communication. The cooperation on the court is more due to professional ethics.

Ronaldinho told Sudong that he doesn't mind what people say, he just wants to play football happily.

This is indeed what he said.

However, behind the happy playing is that he has to be happy.

He's been under a lot of pressure since his ankle injury.

He was eager to play, whether it was against Racing Santander or Sevilla, and repeatedly asked the team doctor to re-examine his ankle, but the final results were not passed, which prevented him from participating in the game.

But in the Brazilian national team, he has played and played two games in a row. He is in good condition and performed well.

Why can't I play in Barcelona?
More importantly, when he couldn't play, Su Dong shined in the game. How could this make him not anxious?
He knew very well in his heart that without him, the better Su Dong performed, the easier it would be for the fans to forget him.

So, the day after Barcelona played Sevilla, Ronaldinho came to the Sports City very early.

He made an appointment with the team doctor for another reexamination of his ankle.

This time, he must get a pass for the comeback game.

…………

…………

When Ronaldinho went to the medical room and passed the gym, he could see what was happening inside from the outside.

He saw a burly man with his back turned to him, doing pull-ups on the machine, over and over again, without stopping.

Each time, his arms, shoulders, and back flexed awe-inspiring muscles.

Even though he was sweating profusely from training, Su Dong was still meticulous. He didn't even notice Ronaldinho outside the window next to him. The Brazilian was watching him, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly with every pull-up he did.

This kid is a training madman!

It's hard to imagine that he just played a league game in the torrential rain last night.

If you really want to be convinced, what Ronaldinho admires most about Su Dong is the gym, because he doesn't like the gym at all, and even if possible, he hopes not to set foot in this place for the rest of his life.

It was hard for him to imagine what a person who spent all day in the gym was thinking?
Ronaldinho also understood in his heart that Su Dong was able to achieve what he is today, entirely by practicing hard.

He even admired Su Dong's training intensity.

but……

……

"Or not!"

After a detailed examination, the team doctor shook his head, "According to the current situation, your ankle has only recovered 70.00% at most. Before it reaches [-]% recovery, I definitely dare not issue a proof for you."

Ronaldinho let out a sigh of relief, "Please, I played two games with the national team and I feel good."

"It's because of the national team's two games with injuries that your recovery speed was delayed, you know?" the team doctor reminded.

But obviously, Ronaldinho didn't listen.

Like most Brazilians, he is wary and distrustful of European team doctors.

After bidding farewell to the team doctor and walking out of the medical room, Ronaldinho went straight to the office of coach Frank Rijkaard.

Half an hour later, when the team was about to practice, he left.

Afterwards, he continued his rehabilitation training alone.

"How about it?"

After the training, the Brazilian players surrounded Ronaldinho, and Belletti asked with concern.

Ronaldinho shook his head, "He still didn't agree, but he agreed that I will go to Amsterdam with the team. Whether I can play depends on the review before the game. If it goes well, he will let me play."

While speaking, Ronaldinho lost the joy of the past and frowned.

He knew that he couldn't waste any more time.

If Su Dong continues to perform like this, his status in the team will only be shaken constantly. If Su Dong really wins the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or, it will be tantamount to confirming Su Dong's status in Barcelona.

At that time, how will he deal with himself?

"Ankle injuries are very troublesome, and you really can't be careless." Sylvinho persuaded.

Everyone nodded one after another. The situation is really urgent now, but if there are injuries left, the loss outweighs the gain.

"I heard that Su Dong's physical therapist, Grant Downing, is very good at rehabilitation training. Why don't you ask him?" Deco suggested.

He has a good relationship with Su Dong, and he is familiar with Su Dong's personal coaching team. In addition, he is also a professional player, so he naturally paid more attention.

"It's useless to ask, do you think he will lend his personal trainer to the number one competitor?" Edmilson asked back.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Although no one said it, everyone knew that Su Dong and Ronaldinho were indeed competitors.

What the two are fighting for is the number one star position in the team.

"Actually, he's pretty good. I think he'll borrow it." Deke asked himself, knowing Su Dong quite well.

But no one else believed it.

Who would be willing to help a person who competes with himself?

"Anyway, I don't believe it." Edmilson shook his head.

Deco still wanted to defend Su Dong, but Ronaldinho had already stopped by this time.

"Okay, don't talk about this matter anymore, anyway, I will go with the team to the away game, and we will talk about it then."

While talking, he vaguely heard the conversation between Su Dong and Harvey and others not far away.

They made an appointment and planned to play in the impromptu indoor football field on the other side of the corridor of the sports city.

The two sides made a three-on-three agreement. Su Dong planned to form a team with Xiaobai Iniesta and Messi, and Harvey wanted to form a team with Puyol and Gerard.

Watching them walk by, Ronaldinho and the others didn't look very good.

That field was hired by him not long ago, the purpose is to fight with several Brazilian players in the team.

But all Brazilian players are basically trained on indoor football fields.

But now, they are not used, but are used by Su Dong and others.

This made him feel as if he was making a wedding dress for someone else.

No, we must not wait any longer!

If he waited any longer, he probably would have no status in this team.

In the middle of the week, the Champions League away game against Ajax, this game must be played!

Not only to play, but also to perform well, to show your own strength, and let everyone know that Ronaldinho is still the number one star of Barcelona!
