i want to be king

Chapter 880
Manchester City did not actually take the bus back to Manchester from London in the end.

Although it is only more than 300 kilometers, it takes four or five hours to walk, and it is all in the middle of the night.

If it is normal, it doesn't matter, but then the team will rush to Dublin non-stop to participate in the Europa League final, the players' rest is very important, let alone a few hours, even a few minutes are precious.

After the game, the team bus took everyone to the nearby Heathrow Airport, took the chartered flight arranged by the club, and flew directly back to Manchester from London.

Families of players and employees, as well as guests invited by the team, flew back to Manchester from London in batches.

They are also going to Dublin with the team.

This can also be regarded as the welfare of the players' families and club celebrities.

As long as the team's performance is good, no one will care about it. After all, winning a championship is more important than anything else.

What professional teams compete for is influence, which can also be said to be fame, and this needs to be consolidated by results.

No matter how famous the name is, it is in vain to be beaten by the opponent to reveal its true colors on the court.

This is especially true for a newly emerging team like Manchester City.

……

On the night of arriving in Manchester, the team did not disband, but directly checked into the hotel booked in advance.

The next morning, the team gathered at Carrington for recovery training.

Restorative training on the second day of the game is a timetable that scientifically trained teams will adopt, and Guardiola pays more attention to this. He will assign different training items according to the physical condition of each player during the restorative training.

It can be said that a good recovery is the basis for playing well in the next game.

That's what strength and conditioning coach Lorenzo Buenaventura does best.

Before the training, Sudong's personal coaching team Nuno Cruz and Grant Downing will communicate and coordinate with Guardiola's coaching staff, exchange some ideas with each other, and work together to formulate Sudong's recovery training.

Everyone is also accustomed to this, and they don't think that Su Dong is playing big and special.

After all, whatever problems they encounter in their daily life, they often learn from Su Dong.

More importantly, Su Dong's combat effectiveness is there, and the value of his team cannot be doubted, especially Su Dong's attendance rate, this is the best proof, nothing is more convincing than this.

Guardiola also said that other players are welcome to hire high-level personal trainers like Su Dong, but the question is, can high-level personal trainers be so expensive?

After the training, the first team held a brief meeting, mainly to explain some precautions.

Guardiola decided to give the team a half-day holiday, so that everyone can adjust their bodies and minds and spend time with their families.

As the captain, Su Dong had to stay when everyone else was gone.

Mainly still some things on the next trip to Dublin.

According to the usual practice, the FA Cup may not be used, but to participate in the Europa League final, which is considered a heavyweight European final, the club usually invites some players to the scene.

Needless to say, those in the first team who are not included in the big list, these will definitely accompany the team, as well as some outstanding players from the youth team, they will all be invited to participate, and the younger ones may have to arrange family members to accompany them.

There are also some players who are on loan.

Like other Premier League teams, Manchester City actually has many youth team players on loan, but most of them play in low-level leagues. If Guardiola hadn't promoted them, teenagers like Trippier should actually be loaned out.

And now, there are two young players from Genk, Belgium, De Bruyne and Courtois.

Inviting loaned or interested players to participate in the final is actually a method often used in the transfer market. It is mainly to cultivate players' sense of identity with the club. As for winning or losing the game, it is hard to say.

As the captain of the team, Su Dong should come forward at this time, not only to receive these players, but also to establish a good relationship with them.

After all, they may stay in Manchester City at any time and become teammates in the locker room.

What Su Dong got in his hands was the list of players invited by the club to watch the final.

In addition to De Bruyne and Courtois of Genk in Belgium, Douglas Costa of Shakhtar Donetsk, Eden Hazard of Lille in Ligue [-], and winger Royce of Borussia Mönchengladbach in Bundesliga have attracted Sudong's attention.

In addition, Lukaku's agent politely declined Manchester City's invitation. This talented Belgian center who is also valued by Manchester United and Chelsea obviously does not want to have too much contact with Manchester City to avoid misunderstandings.

From this list, Su Dong saw the results of Manchester City's transfer department in the past few months.

It is a "secret" known to the whole world that Manchester City wants to introduce wingers, and this time they invited three players to participate in the Europa League final, obviously they have all been in contact in the past.

Needless to say, Douglas Costa is a Brazilian genius, which is a golden sign in itself; Lille is the champion of Ligue [-] this season. Eden Hazard is not actually a winger, but a midfielder, but he can play left, center and right positions. Guardiola likes this player very much and thinks he is very similar to Barcelona's Messi.

As for Royce, let alone Su Dong's old acquaintance, the Bundesliga Rockets.

"Why was Royce invited to participate?" Su Dong felt very strange.

He and Royce are very familiar, and even have each other's mobile phone numbers. In his memory, Royce is a very loyal Dortmund fan. He once said that he is eager to return to Dortmund.

Isn't it contradictory to accept Manchester City's invitation now?

Su Dong even wondered if Manchester City offered a very high salary?

Estiyat came over, looked at the information in Su Dong's hand, smiled and said: "His agent said, he is your fan, since he was in Red and White Allen."

Su Dong smiled wryly.

Now that Royce has become popular, the meeting between the two at Red and White Allen was hyped up by the media, but in fact, who would have thought that Royce could become a talent?I'm afraid even Royce himself doesn't have confidence?

Of course, no one would break through such spoiling words.

Sometimes this world really needs some romance, to dilute some cold ruthlessness.

Su Dong combined the information in his hand, nodded, "Okay, leave it to me."

……

When I walked out of the Carrington training building, I happened to see the red Audi R8 parked opposite.

After the car window was rolled down, Wang Chuqing's charming smile was revealed.

"Did the driver miss work? Did you bother Her Majesty the Queen to come pick you up in person?" Su Dong asked with a smile after getting into the car.

Wang Chuqing, who drove away from the training base, took a blank look at him. Su Dong's index finger was moved by his charming appearance.

"My parents, uncles and aunts are studying our family's century-old plan at home."

"A century-old plan?" Su Dong was taken aback.

What the hell?

"Where does our family have a century-old plan?" Su Dong asked in a daze.

Wang Chuqing took the time to glance at him again, "Ten years of trees."

Su Dong suddenly realized.

Ten years of trees, a hundred years of trees.

The so-called century-old plan is actually to study the next generation.

Needless to say, it is birth.

"I said, it seems that we only got the certificate, and haven't held the banquet yet?" Su Dong asked.

In the traditional customs of his hometown, it is not considered a marriage if there is no banquet, even if a marriage certificate is obtained.

"Uncle said, as long as you are willing to give birth, it doesn't matter whether you have a banquet or not. Who can look down on us just because our family doesn't hold banquets, right?"

Su Dong was puzzled in his heart.

He vaguely remembered that when he was young, the old man didn't say that.

What he said back then was that if a person has a face, he must take care of it no matter what, so that the neighbors in the neighborhood will not look down on him.

In the local dialect, if you eat someone else's food, you have to return it.

"When did he become so enlightened?" Su Dong found it very interesting.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand, the social status is different.

The past is the past, and the present is the present. Many concepts are changing unconsciously, and no one is static.

"What about your dad? He's only a girl like you, is he willing?" Su Dong asked.

Wang Chuqing curled her lips helplessly, "My dad said that now he is responding to the call of the country and rejecting extravagance and waste. He is a party member and a leader, and he must lead by example and resolutely suppress this bad social atmosphere, so he firmly supports your dad's decision."

What the hell!

Su Dong was a little dumbfounded.

When did my future father-in-law have such an awareness?
Why didn't you know before?

"Then what do you say?" Su Dong asked with a smile.

Of course he is not worried, now that the decisive battle is imminent, the elders in the family will definitely not bother him with these things, they are more just joking, and no one will take it seriously.

The current Su Dong is no longer the Su Dong of the past.

"They won't bother you, they will only bother me. If I knew what to do, I wouldn't run out." Wang Chuqing said distressedly.

Su Dong laughed straight, "Or, you can tell them that you can't give birth."

"How can this be done?" Wang Chuqing immediately protested.

She still attaches great importance to the matter of having a child, and she can't just joke about it.

"Then just say, I can't." Su Dong said with a playful smile.

Wang Chuqing's pink face immediately turned red, she just thought that this bad boy had something else to say, so she stretched out her pink fist and hit him.

After the two quarreled for a while, Su Dong made a decision.

"Don't go home, it's rare to have a vacation, let's enjoy the world of two people, let them stay at home and slowly study the century-old plan!"

Needless to say, Su Dong's proposal immediately got Wang Chuqing's response.

……

Three hours later, in the courtyard of Sudong Manor in Cheshire, the two old men were sitting in the gazebo drinking tea. They glanced at the gate every one or two minutes, but found no movement, and they were very puzzled.

"Didn't you say that you can come back in a little more than an hour? Make a call and ask?"

"It's on, turn off the phone."

"Is something wrong?"

"Probably not. Just now she called her mother and said that she had something to come back later."

"Oh, young people nowadays, they still don't know how to do things."

"That's right, that's right, I don't know how to think about my own future at all, and we have to worry about them."

"Yeah, raising a child to be a hundred years old means worrying about 99 years."

"Stop talking, drink tea, drink tea."
