i want to be king

Chapter 43

"Good job!"

When Su Dong walked off the court, the head coach Jean James greeted him with a smile, gave him a solemn hug after giving him a high five, to show his excitement at the moment.

Two to zero, Sporting Lisbon defeated Chavez at home.

Su Dong, who represented the team for the first time, scored two goals and scored twice.

Could there be a more satisfying debut than this?
After Sudong hugged James, he turned around and gave Cardoso and other coaches a high-five, and then hugged Jose Semedo.

The Cape Verdean sat on the bench throughout the game, didn't even have 1 minute of playing time, and the expression on his face was very depressed.

But when Su Dong told him that Ronnie had lost the mopping task for three weeks, Semedo was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"That's the best news I've heard today! Thank you Ronnie! Thank God!"

Ronnie quietly appeared behind him, grabbed his neck suddenly, and was so angry that he wanted to punch him twice.

His foot wind is really not smooth tonight.

As the first brother in the team, he has a lot of power to fire. He took five or six shots in the audience, but he didn't hit a single one.

I have to say, this is indeed a very regrettable thing.

One of the main reasons is that he is really too rough.

Sometimes it is obviously not a very good opportunity, and he has to force his kick. How can such a hit rate be so high?

However, judging from the overall game performance, Ronnie's strength is still outstanding among the two teams.

It looked sour on the surface, but in fact, Ronnie was very happy for Su Dong's brace.

As he said before, if there is anyone in the team who can make him willing to lose, it is only Su Dong.

"For the sake of me assisting you, shouldn't you help me with some housework?" Ronnie asked bitterly.

Su Dong was taken aback for a moment, and immediately looked at Semedo, "By the way, Jose, have you seen my shoes?"

"Shoes? What shoes?"

"Didn't I ask you to collect it for me just now?"

"Have it?"

"do not have it?"

"It won't be lost, will it?"

"Then you have to find it quickly."

"I'll help you."

The two walked away shoulder to shoulder, leaving Ronnie hanging there, full of confusion.

It's all the fault of the waves!
…………

…………

Two goals beat the opponent, and the players of the second team celebrated the victory in the locker room.

Everyone spoke highly of Su Dong, the hero of the goal, and many players even ran over to celebrate with him.

There is no faster way to integrate into the team than to score goals and help the team win.

Su Dong was also in a good mood.

Before the game, he himself did not expect that he would be able to score twice in the game.

He originally set his own goal to have an assist, but the best result was just to score a goal.

Unexpectedly, he scored two goals in the end.

The main reason is that Chavez is not as strong as he imagined.

……

"Chavez is roughly equivalent to the level of a strong team in the Portuguese League Two."

After the game, Pontes came to the locker room immediately and talked to Su Dong about the gains and losses of this game.

"The Portuguese League has always had a problem, that is, the strong are strong and the weak are weak. This mainly depends on the financial resources of the team. As long as there is sufficient financial strength, it is easy to build a set of teams in the lower reaches of the Portuguese Super League, or even in the middle of the Portuguese League. But like Chavez, they are also at the level of the strong teams in the Portuguese League Two."

Su Dong played in the Portuguese Second South group for half a year, and he agrees with Pontes' analysis.

"So, you must pay attention. Although you are happy to score twice in the first game, it is not something to be proud of. After all, the opponent is weaker. Next, you should try to adapt to the intensity of the Portuguese League, train and improve yourself, and show a better performance in the dialogue between the strong."

Su Dong nodded, he understood this very well.

"If you can perform well against strong teams such as the University of Coimbra, the Portuguese National, Morelense, Amadora or Rio Avi, I believe you will be able to enter Bologna's sight."

The teams mentioned by Pontes are the top ones in the current Portuguese League.

Among them, Morelense, University of Coimbra and Portuguese National are among the top three in the Portuguese League, and the lead is quite obvious. It can be said that they are the three most popular teams to be promoted to the Portuguese Super League.

If he can show a convincing performance in the process of playing against these teams, it will prove that Su Dong has the ability to play in the Portuguese Super League, which will undoubtedly make him an additional choice for coach Boloni to line up.

Of course, it is difficult to do this.

In addition to affirming Su Dong's performance and giving him some advice, Pontes also reminded and corrected some of the problems Su Dong exposed during the game.

After all, he is still a newcomer, and there is still a lot of cooperation between him and his teammates that cannot be achieved tacitly.

The important reason for defeating Chavez in this game was that they were playing at home and the opponents were not strong. After the start, the team played very well in offense. Marcelino returned to the second team, and together with Ronnie, this gave Sporting Lisbon a clear advantage on both wings.

With Su Dong sitting in the middle of the frontcourt, the team's offense was very active from the very beginning.

But the real test lies in the strong dialogue.

……

After chatting with Pontes, Su Dong welcomed Mendes and Manuel.

When the two saw Su Dong, they were all smiling, obviously in a very happy mood.

This round of Mendes can be described as a bumper harvest.

For the first team, both Viana and Quaresma entered the starting lineup. Sporting Lisbon also performed well, beating their opponent away. In the second team, Su Dong scored twice and Ronnie also performed well.

All of these make Mendes feel good.

"I suggest that you should find a way to share your goals with your teammates." Mendes suggested.

Su Dong didn't quite understand this, how to share the goals?

"You know, football is an eleven-man game, and you scored the goal. That's true, but think about it, would you be able to score without Ronnie's assist?"

Su Dong shook his head, he understood the truth.

"What about before Ronnie? Without the defense of Jose Fonte and others, without the assistance of Ugo Pina and others, do you think Ronnie can pass that assist?"

Su Dongdeng understood what Mendes meant immediately.

Football is a team game, and goals are also the contribution of the team.

He grasped the last kick and sent the ball into the goal. This is certainly his glory, but in fact it is the support of the whole team behind him. Without his teammates behind him, there would be no goal for him.

As the hero of the goal, he no longer needs to get more praise. Not only that, he should also take the initiative to distribute the credit for the goal to the unknown teammates behind him, and take the opportunity to build a good relationship with them.

In this kind of team sport, it is difficult for a lone goal scorer to be accepted by the whole team.

This is why Pontes reminded him that Marcelino could not gain a foothold in the first team.

If you are not accepted, it becomes more difficult to fit in.

"Then what should I do?" Su Dong stared blankly.

This is the first time he has encountered such a thing, and he didn't need it in Portugal before.

"It's actually very simple. Your salaries are not high, so treat everyone to a meal. You don't need to spend as high-end as Romario's Seafood Restaurant. You just need to go to some delicious mid-range restaurants and treat your teammates, and that's it."

"that's it?"

"Yeah." Mendes nodded, "But you have to remember, don't go to the dinner party in the name of an individual or the whole team, and then you will pay for it."

Su Dong is not stupid, he is more just unskilled in some ways of the world.

Mendes woke up a little bit, and he immediately understood the difference between the personal name and the team dinner, and immediately nodded to his agent with a smile and said thank you.

The more he got in touch, the more he realized Mendez's shrewdness.

This kind of shrewdness is not an all-pervasive calculation, but an appropriate all-round service without dead ends.

"I went to Jose Semedo and asked him to invite his teammates to dinner."

Seeing that Su Dong was transparent, Mendes and Manuel looked at each other and smiled.

"He's really smart." Manuel looked at Su Dong's back and praised with a smile.

Mendes nodded and smiled, "You don't need to be smart to be a professional player, but if you want to be a good professional player, you have to be smart."

The locker room is like a small society, where there are twenty or thirty young people from all over the world, with different cultural backgrounds, different education levels, different living habits, and different personalities. These people play football with different goals and ideas.

If you want to survive in the locker room in this environment, you must learn to be smart, and you must learn how to make your teammates willingly surround you, pass the ball for yourself, and assist yourself.

A twisted melon is not sweet, so if you are unwilling, you will be reluctant.

The biggest problem for many teams is not that the players are not strong enough, or that the head coach does not allocate reasonable tactics, but that there are conflicts in the locker room, and the players are unwilling to obey and execute, and are unwilling to cooperate.

A striker is born to be the face and banner of a team, because he is responsible for scoring goals and always attracts everyone's attention.

But the more this is the case, the more the forward needs the support from the whole team.

Mendes knew this very well, so he reminded Su Dong, hoping that he would notice this.

It is far from enough to rely on outstanding performance on the field, because there is a saying on the football field: the outcome of a game is decided the moment the players on both sides walk into the field.

……

Su Dong quickly found Jose Semedo and Ronnie and mentioned the matter.

Obviously, Mendes had also coached Ronnie before, so he was very supportive.

But Jose Semedo said with a smile that his teammates don't care about eating and drinking, because they can't eat and drink casually.

"Remember? I said before, as long as you score a goal, I will take you to have fun."

"Instead of inviting everyone to eat and drink, it's better to invite us to have fun. I believe everyone will be happier."

happy?

The pink light appeared in Su Dong's mind.

　Begging for rewards, collections and recommendation tickets!Thank you!
