I Want to Be the King of Football

Waking up one night, all cities in China started a busy day.

Some people got up in a hurry. After brushing their teeth and washing their faces, they rushed out of the house like wind, bought a random breakfast at the breakfast stall downstairs, and hurried the bus while eating; some were urging the slow children to go to school soon. Late; there are still people playing Tai Chi, chess, and shuttlecock in the park leisurely...

Similar scenes are happening repeatedly in every city.

Until a sudden news spread in the air.

China News Service Europe reported that in the UEFA Cup second-round knockout just ended in the early morning, in the match between Portuguese Super League giants Sporting Lisbon and Czech powerhouse Slavia Prague, 18-year-old Chinese teenager Su Dong started the game.

After that, Su Dong continued to perform well, assisting two teammates to score goals, helping Sporting Lisbon 3-0 at home, reversed Slavia Prague 4-3 with a total score, and successfully advanced to the third round of the UEFA Cup.

After the game, the teenager Su Dong was not only elected as the best player of the game, but also received rave reviews.

Ma Dawei, our reporter stationed in the Iberian Peninsula, is contacting Sporting Lisbon to learn about the current situation of Sudong, and will bring you more detailed reports about Sudong in the near future.

...

As news spread on TV and radio, people across the country who saw or heard the news were extremely surprised.

An 18-year-old Chinese player played in the UEFA Cup?

Is the news true or false?

Why haven't I heard any relevant reports before?

This is the first Chinese player in the European war!

In less than half an hour, the search volume for Su Dong on the domestic Internet has skyrocketed, and countless fans are looking for the answer with a doubt, that is, is the news report true?

The answer was soon revealed.

Although many domestic football newspapers only supplemented the Champions League games and paid little attention to the UEFA Cup on Thursday, there are still some reports about Sporting Lisbon and Slavia Prague on the Internet.

Especially on the largest domestic portal website, there are several news reports translated from Portuguese media. The biggest cover of the sports homepage is the cover of the Morning Post where Su Dong celebrates after scoring a goal.

With black hair and yellow skin, he looks like his own!

Countless netizens and fans were in tears.

The first person in the European war in China!

Chinese football has finally produced a genius!

Especially when they see so many media reports from Portugal, from Europe,

They really started to believe that this 18-year-old compatriot really has a lot of potential, really a genius!

This was played in the Portuguese Super League and in the UEFA Cup, highly praised by European media reporters and professionals, a genuine genius, not those who rely on youth team competition and more domestic news to hype.

But gradually, more and more people began to wonder about one thing.

That's why no one in China knows about Su Dong?

This is already his second season in the Portuguese Super League. Even before, he played in the UEFA Cup and even helped Sporting Lisbon win the Portuguese Cup final, but why does no one know about him?

Why didn't the media report it?

As netizens dig deeper and deeper, they gradually learned more.

First, in the first half of the year, a report written by China News Agency reporter Ma Dawei mentioned Su Dong, who played for the Portuguese Super League.

Not only that, Ma Dawei also introduced the reason for Su Dong's suspension, believing that it was just a deception by an unscrupulous intermediary.

However, this report has fallen into disrepair in China, and few people have seen it at all.

Look at the time, yes, everyone in the country was looking forward to the upcoming World Cup.

All over the country, from the Football Association to the players, from the media to the fans, are fantasizing about the national team reaching the World Cup for the first time, stepping on Costa Rica, punching Turkey, and even overthrowing the five-star Brazil...

How many rhetoric, in today's view, it is more like Yelang arrogance.

At that time, the country was full of impetuousness, and everyone was blinded by the first World Cup. As a result, in the World Cup, not only Brazil, but even Costa Rica and Turkey taught young Chinese football to be a good person.

So, now, domestic football is in a slump.

Milou was dismissed amid the nationwide scolding, and the Football Association once again launched the European coach selection.

The cruel lesson made everyone soberly realize that Chinese football is so vulnerable.

But because of this, when they saw the reports from European media, when they saw that the 18-year-old Su Dong shined in the UEFA Cup and was elected as the best player of the game, they really did. Impressed.

Most people still dare not hold out hope, but there are also a small number of people who believe that Su Dong will become the hope of Chinese football.

He is only eighteen!

…………

…………

Sudong, who is as far away as Lisbon, is not aware of what is going on at home.

He still got up early every day, did a simple physical training in the apartment room, then did an hour of yoga with Ronnie and Pepe, and then went downstairs to the riverside park to run and practice ball.

When he came back, he received a call from his parents, and only then did he know the domestic news.

The parents were very excited on the phone, and the mother even broke down in tears while talking.

It's okay, Dad, Mom, everything is fine with me here. The coach and teammates trust me very much. You don't have to worry.

Su Dong still adhered to the mentality of reporting good news but not bad news. Seeing that his parents were a little unconvinced, he simply changed the subject and asked about the money that he transferred back every month, whether they received it, how to spend it, and so on.

Sure enough, when it came to this issue, the parents' thinking was diverted.

They are all ordinary citizens who don't know anything about investment and financial management, but they also have their own set of life wisdom.

What do you do when you suddenly get a lot of money?

They don’t understand investing in business, and they don’t dare to take that risk; depositing in a bank has no interest, so they feel at a loss; as for lending to others to earn interest, it’s not very reliable, and they always feel that the risk is too great…

In the end, they really couldn't think of a way, so they made the most conservative decision.

Buy a house!

Really bought it all? Su Dong was very surprised.

He has sent back his salary for a few months now, but his parents actually took it all to buy a house.

Actually, it's not much. Just in our city center, we bought three houses with the full amount, all of which are one hundred and sixty-seven square meters, but the house price is too expensive. One square meter costs one thousand and fifty-six square meters.

Su Dong smiled bitterly. He could completely imagine that in order to buy a house, his parents must have invested all their hard-earned savings, and they must be frugal on weekdays.

Don't buy so much, and you won't be able to live. Su Dong hopes that his parents can enjoy life.

Who said we couldn't live? The mother was not happy when she heard it. You think, we live in one set, and you will need another set when you get married. If you have children in the future, when the children grow up, you will need another set when you get married. Three The set is just right.

Then what if I have a second child? Su Dong couldn't help laughing.

He is only eighteen years old, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend, so he is concerned about the marriage room where the children will grow up in the future?

Oh, yes, it makes sense. It's not enough to keep one set for the child. The mother suddenly realized, Old Su, quickly take out the bank book and see if you have enough money to buy another set?

It seems almost.

Hey, what should we do then?

Su Dong was on the phone, listening to the conversation between his parents on the phone, he was very broken.

Mom and Dad, we're not talking about the house, it's about the two of you enjoying life.

Also, schools in third-tier cities like ours are not very good. I heard that some people are now going to big cities to buy school district housing. The educational resources in big cities are much better than ours here. Are we too? Gotta get ready?

Well, our company leaders think so too.

That must be implemented quickly.

Do you want to buy a car at home?

Don't buy a car, what kind of car do you want for a part-time worker? Save some money and quickly arrange the school district housing.

Su Dong felt both warm and funny.

This is his parents, everything they do is always thinking about him and his future, never thinking about himself.

In the end, on the phone, his mother urged him not to spend money indiscriminately, and to transfer it home as soon as the salary was paid.

You can spend the money that should be spent, but don't mess around with the money that shouldn't be spent, send it home, we will save it for you, and when our family buys a house in a big city, you will get married and have children in the future. In the city, we also follow the past to enjoy happiness.

Understood. Su Dong agreed without hesitation.

After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but laugh.

In the hearts of my parents' generation, there is a very simple concept that going to a big city is a blessing.

But what Su Dong didn't know was that when his parents were struggling with the money to buy a house in a big city, someone sent money to the door as soon as they turned around.
