I Want to Be the King of Football

When teammates, coaches and staff were still celebrating the championship on the court, Su Dong finally broke free from everyone, holding the trophy of the best player of the season in one hand, and the wine of the best player of the game in the other, and walked quickly. Run into the player tunnel.

He wanted to go back to the locker room to call.

But not far from entering the player tunnel, he saw his agent Mendes smiling at him from the corner of a staircase.

Hey Jorge, I was about to ask you...

Su Dong stopped before he finished speaking.

He saw his parents and Ma Dawei.

Although he had just spoken on the phone not long ago, at this moment, when he saw his parents whom he hadn't seen in two years, Su Dong was a little stunned.

An indescribable emotion rushed into his heart quickly, his nose was sour and he wanted to cry.

Dad, Mom!

After shouting, Su Dong blinked his eyes hard, he tried very hard not to let his tears fall, but in the end, he still couldn't live up to his expectations.

Su Wenji and his wife had already burst into tears at this time, especially Yang Xiuyu, who had cried many times tonight.

After hearing Su Dong's shout, both of them rushed forward and hugged Su Dong hard.

Good boy! Good boy! Su Wen complimented his precious son in a collection of words.

Mother Yang Xiuyu was even more sobbing, but hugged Su Dong hard.

We haven't seen each other for two years, and the feeling of being reunited after a long absence makes their family of three completely forget that there are people around.

Ma Dawei was also moved with red eyes, and even Mendes and others who couldn't speak the words felt this feeling, and their hearts were full of sighs.

Playing football is never easy.

...

It's grown a lot taller.

After finally calming down, the family of three went to a remote place to talk.

The parents looked at Su Dong with concern and found that the baby son had really grown taller.

Su Dong was already tall among his peers, but now he is even more burly.

Of course, Mom, I'm eighteen,

According to the domestic algorithm, I am nineteen. Su Dong laughed.

I've gotten a lot stronger. It looks like I'm really practicing. Su Wenji lightly hit Su Dong's deltoid with his right fist and smiled with relief.

That is, not only do I practice in the gym every day, I practice with the team, but I also swim every day, practice yoga, and some simple physical training.

In front of his parents, Su Dong proudly introduced his life.

It's like this every day, isn't it tiring? Yang Xiuyu is more concerned about Su Dong's health.

Don't worry, Mom, I'm scientifically trained, it's fine.

Su Wenji and his wife did not understand these things, but they all knew that Su Dong hired a professional personal trainer more than a year ago, who is said to be a professor at the best university in Portugal, so there should be no problem.

By the way, Dad, this bottle of wine is for you.

It was only at this time that Su Dong realized that he was still holding a bottle of wine and a trophy in his hands.

Give it to me? Su Wenji was a little excited, and took the bottle of Portuguese wine from Su Dong with slightly trembling hands.

It was written in words that he couldn't understand, but he didn't realize it, and he always felt that this bottle of wine was heavy and had a lot of weight.

How about that? I have to cherish it well and use it as a family heirloom in the future. Su Wenji laughed.

Su Dong smiled wryly and shook his head, It's alright, Dad, I still have a lot of bottles at home. If you like them, I'll give them all to you.

He doesn't drink himself, so every time he gets the best of the game, he either gives it to his teammates or keeps it.

How can it be the same? It used to be before, and this bottle is different tonight.

When my father said this, Su Dong didn't say anything more. Anyway, his father was happy.

Mom, this is for you. Su Dong handed the Player of the Season trophy to his mother.

The mother was even more excited than the father, and clutched the trophy with both hands, for fear that it would accidentally fall to the ground.

The two couples hugged Su Dong from left to right, and they looked extremely proud and proud.

Even at this moment, they still have a feeling of dreaming, and they can't believe that their son can achieve such a result, which is really surprising.

But the more so, the more they make them proud of Su Dong.

Portugal is not a big country.

From Porto to Lisbon, it is only 300 kilometers away, and it takes about three hours by car.

When the news of Sporting Lisbon's reversal of Porto's victory was rapidly fermenting in Portugal, the entire Sporting Lisbon team also took the bus from Porto to return to Lisbon overnight.

In the Portuguese capital, there are thousands of fans of the Green Lions waiting for the victory of the team, in a frantic celebration of the championship.

In addition to the fans' self-driving cars and the bus, there were also Su Dong's parents and Ma Dawei who followed the Lisbon Sporting bus all the way back. They all followed Mendez's car all the way south.

Sporting Lisbon did not organize celebrations as they had to go to Sevilla to play the UEFA Cup final three days later.

After the team arrived in Lisbon, although they were greeted by fans at the gate of Alcocheti, they only stayed for a while.

Technical director Aurelio has already communicated with the fans that the team will prepare for the UEFA Cup final next, and I hope the fans can exercise restraint and not affect the team’s preparations and games.

To celebrate, it's not too late to wait until the team has won the UEFA Cup from Sevilla!

The team disbanded shortly after arriving in Alcochete, and the players went home.

...

Unlike Su Dong and others who went to Alcochete, Mendes took Su Dong's parents and his party directly to their home in the Park of Nations.

Su Wenji and his wife visited this apartment and were very satisfied with the environment and facilities, but when they walked into Su Dong's room, they almost cried again.

Yoga mats, dumbbells, barbells...

In Su Dong's room, in addition to the bed and table, all kinds of fitness equipment were piled on the floor.

Not only Su Dong's parents were surprised, but Ma Dawei was even more stunned.

The reporter from China News Agency was very curious about why Su Dong was able to be today, and why he was able to make rapid progress in just two years, but at this moment, looking at this room, he really understood.

He basically gets up at 4:30 in the morning to train. The wind and rain don't change. After returning from the training base every night, others go out to play and make girlfriends. He still stays at home to train.

Mendes introduced Su Dong's situation to Su Dong's parents, and Ma Dawei came to translate.

He is the most diligent and hard-working player I have ever seen, so I am not surprised that he can achieve what he has achieved today, and I am also convinced that he can achieve higher and better results in the future.

Ma Dawei was a little surprised by Mendes' evaluation of Su Dong, because he knew that now Mendes has faintly been able to keep pace with Portuguese agent Vega, and even has a tendency to replace it, because Mendes' players are younger.

And being able to get such a high praise from such an agent shows how exciting Su Dong's strength and potential are.

Different from others, Su Dong's parents are very distressed.

Of course, they are very happy that their son can achieve such a result, but seeing that he has suffered so much, but never revealed a single word on the phone, it makes them feel very uncomfortable and very distressed.

This should be normal for all parents.

...

Su Dong's parents did not live in Su Dong's house, but chose to stay at the nearby World Expo Sailing Hotel.

Very close, just across the road.

Mendes helped find the hotel, and the agent paid for it.

Not only that, Mendes even offered to be responsible for all the expenses of Su Dong's parents during their stay in Europe, but Su Dong politely refused. He did not like to take advantage of others and cause trouble to others.

This is true of Su Dong's parents as well.

Su Dong handed his salary card to his parents, so that they could eat, drink and play in Lisbon at will, just swipe his card, and Ma Dawei was in charge of the guide and translator. In return, Su Dong agreed to accept Ma Dawei's exclusive interview after the UEFA Cup final. .

This will be Su Dong's first exclusive interview with domestic media.

In the next three days, Ma Dawei took Su Dong's parents to travel around Lisbon and the surrounding area.

Su Dong did not have a vacation, and began to resume training and prepare for the UEFA Cup final the next day.

Sporting Lisbon reversed Porto to win the championship, and Sudong became the youngest player of the season in Portuguese football history. Both of these news caused an uproar in Portugal and were even reported in European football.

In addition to those professionals who have been paying attention to the Portuguese Super League and Sudong for a long time, more and more media and fans have also realized that the Portuguese Super League's Sporting Lisbon also has the number one figure in Sudong.

Especially when the news came back to China, it caused a huge earthquake.

They all know that Su Dong played well in the Portuguese Super League, but they never thought that he would be able to win the best player of the season in the Portuguese Super League, and he also created Portuguese football history. He is only 18 years old!

The domestic fans were extremely excited, and the media reported and hyped it wildly. Everyone named Su Dong as a genius and believed that he would become the hope of Chinese football.

Many people also began to pay attention to the UEFA Cup final, and the authoritative national TV station also decided to broadcast this event live.

But only in the national team, the news of Su Dong was coldly dealt with, which puzzled everyone.

A talented center who even Ferguson favors, why can't he get into the national team for a long time?

Could it be that the national team does not need Su Dong?

Are we that strong?

...

When the best player in the Portuguese Super League in the Soviet Union was hyped up in China, the AFC also announced the latest news on its official website.

Japanese international Nobuji Ono won the 2002 Asian Footballer of the Year, South Korea won the best national team, and Hiddink honored the best coach. These three awards are all considering the performance of the World Cup in Korea and Japan.

Su Dong was shortlisted for the Asian Footballer of the Year and is the only Chinese player to be shortlisted, but unfortunately, because it was a big year, Su Dong could not compete with Ono Shinji, but in the competition for the best rookie, Su Dong defeated South Korea. Player Li Tianxiu won the Rookie of the Year.

In this regard, the domestic media was once again in an uproar.

Missing out on the Asian Footballer of the Year is a sign, but Su Dong's ability to win the Rookie of the Year is enough to prove his performance.

Even many media, including those from Japan and South Korea, contend that Su Dong will be the strongest contender for the 2003 Asian Footballer of the Year.

If you can win the UEFA Cup, it will be even more certain.
