I Want to Be the King of Football

In the next few days, Su Dong's life was full and monotonous.

He wakes up at 4 am every day, and after scrubbing, he starts strength training at home.

Pontes arranged training programs for him such as push-ups, squats, sit-ups, pull-ups, and handstand support. He did 3 sets of each item, and each set of 20 at the beginning. take a break.

This may seem like a lot, but it's actually not the case at all.

The first is to move slowly.

It's like push-ups. With Su Dong's ability, it is very easy to complete 20, but Pontes has a lot of requirements. He asked Su Dong to sink slowly, pause for a second or two, then slowly prop up and finish. An action is about 6 seconds, and the action should be standard in place.

At the beginning, I didn't feel it, but when I finished one group, Su Dong found that it was more tiring than usual to do two groups in one breath.

Not just push-ups, but squats, sit-ups, pull-ups, and handstands.

Ronnie relayed what Pontes said that these exercises can be done in the dormitory, which is very simple, but it can train every muscle in the body, and the handstand support is mainly to train the balance and coordination of the body.

After being able to steadily complete the 3*20 training tasks, the next step is to increase the number and difficulty.

Needless to say the number, from 20 to 30, and finally to 50, according to your own training situation, slowly add.

The difficulty is mainly reflected in some skills, such as push-ups. First, the hands are on the ground, as wide as the shoulders, and then the distance is gradually shortened, and finally it becomes one-handed. The difficulty can be said to be progressive.

The same goes for exercises like pull-ups and squats.

In the end, these seem to be simple, and the exercises that everyone is familiar with will turn into some difficult movements.

Pontes originally asked Su Dong to practice once a day. At the same time, he warned Su Dong that if he practiced too much, he was afraid that his body would not be able to bear it, which might lead to injury. Practice twice a day in the morning and evening.

In the system store, the amount of nutritious meals exchanged for King of the Balls seems to be small, but it is strange to say that after Su Dong has eaten three meals a day, no matter when, no matter how much he trains, he will not be hungry. feeling, without feeling full.

There is also the bull drink. After drinking it, the physical recovery rate is significantly faster.

With them, Su Dong has the confidence to practice twice a day.

...

After training at home, Su Dong went out after breakfast.

He would strap heavy sandbags to his legs and waist and run all the way to Edward VII Park.

Here, he would undergo basic training overseen by Ronnie, followed by a pair of pairings.

In order to achieve a better training program, Su Dong wears weight-bearing sandbags during basic training.

Jose Semedo has also been here once, but the Cape Verdeans are still carrying out his plan to pick up girls.

Sudong and Ronnie would stay in the park until the afternoon before parting ways, returning to their teams to practice.

After the training, Su Dong had to receive an hour of special training from Mattello, and he could not return to the dormitory until nightfall.

At this point, he will perform the second physical training of the day.

Finally take a shower and go to bed.

Such days are repeated every day, monotonous and boring, but full and compact.

Su Dong felt his progress every day, especially on the personal attribute panel of the system, he could clearly feel that the numbers were improving, and this feeling brought him great encouragement and stimulation.

It also made him more meticulous in his execution.

...

On Saturday, Atlético de Portugal ushered in the first game of the new season.

Since Su Dong has just come to the team,

He was unfamiliar with his teammates, and at the same time he was playing away from home, so the head coach Antonio Pereira arranged for him to stay in the team and did not follow the team to the away game.

But he promised that in the second round of the home game next week, Su Dong will be arranged to play.

Although Su Dong also wanted to play an official game in his heart, he could only accept the arrangement of the head coach.

Although Pereira and the team were fully prepared, the first game of the new season was ultimately lost, and it was lost to a team that was close to the relegation zone last season. The final score was 1-2.

Teammates felt uncomfortable after losing, but they didn't feel sad for too long. After all, this is only a semi-professional league team. For the players of Atlético de Portugal, playing football is more of an interest and enjoyment.

As long as they can avoid relegation, they don't really care about winning or losing.

Anyway, the team will not be promoted to the Portuguese League.

Even after returning to Lisbon, many teammates have been impatient to invite friends and make an appointment to go to a nearby bar in the evening to go to the nationally focused battle.

In the opening game of the Portuguese Super League of the new season, Sporting Lisbon vs. Porto.

…………

…………

Some people say that Lisbon is like God's overturned palette.

Vivid is the most beautiful and moving color in the city.

Even the subway that travels has a different elegance than others.

Each platform is decorated with different themes and is known as the largest art museum in Lisbon.

The four subway lines come in four different colors, and the names are very interesting.

The blue line is called the seagull, the green line is named after a Caravelle sailboat developed in Portugal in the fifteenth century, the yellow line is called the sunflower, and the red line is called the Great Voyage of the East.

Marquis de Pombal Square is just the transfer station of the yellow line and the blue line, and through these two lines, you can transfer to the red line and the green line after two stops, which is very convenient.

Take the yellow line from the Marquis de Pombal Square, six stops to the Alvalade Stadium.

This happens to be the transfer station of the yellow line and the green line.

...

When Su Dong, Ronnie and Semedo walked out of the subway station amid the crowds, they were greeted by the magnificent Alvalade Stadium, which is currently the largest football stadium in Lisbon.

But soon it won't be.

In order to prepare for the European Cup in 2004, the Stadium of Light in Benfica, another giant team in Lisbon, will be demolished and rebuilt after the end of this season. At that time, the stadium with a capacity of up to 64,000 people will be expanded, which is larger than the renovated Al Vallad Field is bigger.

The perimeter of the Alvalade Stadium, which is being renovated, is covered with steel frames, except for the entrance channel for fans.

The training ground for our youth team is right across the road, called the Sports Tower training ground, but it has already been sold. After the season is over, we will move to Alcocheti on the outskirts of the city, and the Sports Tower will be transformed. into an equestrian field.

Ronnie walked side by side with Su Dong, pointing to the dark place across the road.

Su Dong listened silently, still quite shocked in his heart.

This stadium is really big.

On the first day he came to Lisbon, he passed the stadium by car from the airport, but he was driving on the viaduct at the time and looked at it from a distance, but now he is walking under the stadium, and it feels as if he is dormant. Behemoth.

Both Ronnie and Semedo are very familiar with this place, because last year Sporting Lisbon's youth academy dormitory was located at Gate 10 of the stadium. When the stadium began to remodel, they moved to the apartment on the Duke of Lore.

Followed the crowd, followed the instructions on the ticket, entered the stadium, and easily found the place.

It happens to be on the second floor of the main stand with the most fans of Sporting Lisbon, the front row to the right of the center, and the position is very good.

When the three found their positions, the two teams of players on the pitch were warming up.

Semedo secretly bumped Sudong lightly with his elbow and pointed in the direction of Sporting Lisbon, See? The one with the ball is Ricardo Quaresma. He is in the squad.

Following Semedo's gesture, Su Dong saw a young Portuguese player who was short in height and looked a little thin. He was very skilled in dribbling and fast, and shot a curved shot, but was blocked by the goalkeeper. .

The two tall ones with dark skin are Jardel. We used three main players from last season to replace him. I have always heard that he is going to Inter Milan.

Before Semedo finished speaking, he saw Jardel get a pass from a teammate in the penalty area, lightly dunked a teammate in front of him, volleyed his right foot vigorously, and smashed the ball directly into the goal, winning the enthusiasm of the fans. applause.

He is the number one star of Sporting Lisbon in the new season.

The other white player is Marius Nikulei, who cost us nearly five million euros in transfer fees. Semedo said, Last season we were the weakest attacking team among the top three teams. Yes, this season is determined to strengthen the offense.

Sudong has seen reports before. It is said that Nikulei is the top scorer in the Romanian league. He scored 20 goals last season and performed very well. The head coach of Sporting Lisbon happens to be Romanian Boloni.

It can be seen that the competition between the giants is really fierce and cruel.

Looking to the other side, Su Dong easily recognized Pena from Porto's players. He was the top scorer in the Portuguese Super League last season. At the age of 26, he was in his prime.

In addition to Pena, there are also midfielder Costinha and central defender Andrade. Among them, Andrade is the second youngest central defender in the history of the Portuguese national team, second only to Cotto, only 20 two years old.

The young central defender Ricardo Carvalho, who played very well in Arvika on loan last season, and Postiga, a talented 18-year-old who has just been promoted from the youth academy this season.

If Quaresma is hailed as Portugal's most talented winger, then Postiga is the super genius of the striker that Portugal has high hopes for in the next ten years. Both are hailed as the hope of Portuguese football. .

In the midst of the crowd, Su Dong sat in the stands, looking at the familiar players in the stadium, he was full of envy.

This is the first time in his life that he watched the top game of the mainstream European league live. When these well-known stars appeared in front of him, he really felt his insignificance and insignificance.

The surrounding stands were filled with more than 50,000 fans of Sporting Lisbon. From a distance, they were densely packed and particularly spectacular.

And these 50,000 people walked into this stadium and sat here just to watch them play and see them decide the winner.
