I Want to Be the King of Football

Compared with Beckham's landing in Real Madrid, Madrid was crowded to greet him, and the momentum shook the world. The news of Sudong joining Valencia is just one of the media reports, and it is a small wave in the European transfer market.

Only in Valencia, the addition of Su Dong has aroused heated discussions among the fans of the Bat Legion.

As a well-known local rich man in Valencia, the Roig family is quite influential in Valencia. His two younger brothers run a basketball team and a football team respectively. The name of the football team is Villare. you.

And this is not the first time that Roig has served as the president of Valencia. He had served once as early as 1994, but after only three years in office, he stepped down in 1997 because of his poor performance. Here comes Cortez.

It was during Cortes' administration that Valencia ushered in three tactical masters, Ranieri, Cooper and Benitez, which established Valencia's status as a strong team in La Liga in one fell swoop, including two kills. into the Champions League final.

Now that Roig is making a comeback, and partnering with club legend Subirac, he has fulfilled his promise at the beginning of taking office and signed the talented center Su Dong from Sporting Lisbon, which undoubtedly makes Valencia fans excited.

But there are also many people who worry about whether Su Dong, who is only 18 years old, will be like Karoo, Salwar and others before, who will first bring hope to people, and then be ruthlessly crushed quickly?

Su Dong's transfer did not cause much movement, but Valencia and Sporting Lisbon announced on their official websites, and then passed the press release to major newspapers, announcing to the world that the two teams had reached an agreement.

Su Dong's transfer fee is 10 million euros, the contract lasts for five years, and the penalty is as high as 120 million euros.

As for Su Dong's annual salary and personal treatment, it has not been announced to the public.

The outside world can only learn about Su Dong’s transfer through the press releases of the two clubs. As for other things, we can only dig it out later. After all, in the entire European football world, only Real Madrid will treat the superstars as if they were all. The superstar players who joined have held a huge fan meeting.

The transfer of personnel from other teams is basically a matter of issuing a press release.

...

Sudong returned to Europe a week before Valencia's summer training camp.

Instead of going to Lisbon, he flew to Valencia.

The agent Mendez picked up the plane, and then the group went directly north on the highway and entered Patna.

The town where Valencia's Paterna training base is located next to the airport is also a villa area for the wealthy.

Mendes drove Sudong and Nuno Cruz to the Posadas Hotel in Paterna.

This will be the residence of Su Dong before moving into the rented house, and Valencia's training base is separated by a wall. Almost all Valencia players will be arranged to live here before they find a place to live.

After checking in at the hotel and putting away the luggage in the room, Mendes drove Su Dong north.

To the north of the hotel and training base is a lively business district, where schools and hospitals are located, and the business district is surrounded by wealthy villas.

The security system here is in place, and the law and order is still very good. It is also close to the Paterna training base, which meets your requirements. The only trouble is that I have seen many rental villas. The private swimming pool is very small. It's only fifteen meters long.

Hearing Mendez's complaint, Su Dong and Nuno Cruz in the back row looked at each other and both smiled bitterly.

Swimming and yoga have become indispensable daily training items for Su Dong, and the effect is also very obvious.

Especially in the last season, Su Dong hardly suffered any injuries, which also made him taste the sweetness.

Is there a swimming pool in the hotel? Su Dong asked.

Yes, the 50-meter standard swimming pool is on the same floor as the gym.

Su Dong nodded, That's fine. If you want to swim in the future, just go to the hotel.

He had seen it just now. From the southeast gate of the Paterna training base, it was only a few dozen meters away from the hotel, which was very convenient.

...

Most of the villas in Valencia are of Andalusian architectural style, which should be characteristic of Spain, which is in line with the taste of local rich people, but for Sudong, it seems a bit too old-fashioned.

After reading two sets, although they are decorated magnificently, they really do not meet Su Dong's taste.

I prefer simple, bright ones.

Not to mention, the intermediary really has a set on hand. It is also in the villa area. The floor area is not very large, but the entire architectural style is very modern, the interior decoration is also extremely simple, the materials are quite good, and the floor-to-ceiling windows and new coatings are used in a large area. , so that the entire interior space is very simple and bright.

It was also when the intermediary recommended this villa that Su Dong learned that Valencia had a nickname called the Capital of Cement.

If you build a reinforced concrete defense in the capital of cement, then...

The outdoor garden area is not large, but it is suitable for practice ball or something.

The biggest disadvantage of this villa is that it does not occupy a large area, so the courtyard area is limited, there is no private swimming pool, and the rent is not cheap. After all, this is a new house, which has just been renovated and has not been lived in yet.

It is said that in the villa area, many people invest in villas for rent, which is also a business.

Su Dong is most concerned about the basement, which has two floors, one of which can be properly remodeled and used as a gym.

When he was in Lisbon before, he was limited by the living environment, and there was really no way to let go of his hands and feet at home. Now that he rents a villa, he can completely transform one of the basements into a private gym and purchase some equipment.

This is also one of the plans that Sudong talked to Nuno Cruz before.

The location is right and the price is right. Mendes has carefully inspected it before, and there is no problem, so Su Dong decided to rent it on the spot.

…………

…………

The day after Sudong arrived in Valencia, the personal trainer team contacted by Nuno Cruz also arrived.

Interestingly, the three members are from three different countries.

Personal trainer Vito Scala is from Italy and has been working as a personal trainer for a long time. He has served as a personal trainer for many Italian stars including Roman Prince Totti. Nuno Cruz believes that his training ability is better than A lot of teams have strength and conditioning coaches who are better than that.

This is mainly due to the direction of individual specialization.

The team's fitness coach is more for everyone, while the personal trainer is responsible for one-on-one, a bit like a personal order, so a personal trainer like Vito Scala really needs to be on the team as a fitness coach. Coach, but not necessarily suitable.

Of course, the reverse is also true.

In European football, Italy's physical training is a must. Nuno Cruz had visited Italy before and met Vito Scala there. The two found that they had a lot in common with each other, so for several years Always keep in touch.

Before, Nuno Cruz handed over his summer preparations and training plan for the new season tailored for Sudong to Scala, and the Italian also brought his own implementation plan to Valencia this time.

Whether it is Sudong or Nuno Cruz, I am satisfied after reading it, but the specific effect still needs to be confirmed by practice. I believe that Scala's ability should be no problem if he can become the personal coach of Totti and other stars.

...

Unlike Vito Scala, who is well-known in the industry, Grant Downing, a physiotherapist from the United Kingdom, seems to be somewhat unknown. He is a classmate of Nuno Cruz at Loughborough University, and the two major in different majors.

Grant Downing is not only good at physical training, but is actually better at physiotherapy and recovery. These two fields can be said to complement each other. Nuno Cruise also highly respects his abilities. More importantly, Tangning is only 31 years old. .

He had been working for Glasgow Rangers in Scotland before, and he was also the team's physiotherapist, but he was too young to be reused, and he was more of a deputy. This time he received an invitation from Nuno Cruz, and he almost He agreed without hesitation.

The growth trend of Su Dong over the past year was obvious to all, which made Tangning optimistic about Su Dong's future, and Su Dong's salary was higher than what Glasgow Rangers offered him. Naturally, he would not miss this opportunity.

...

A nutritionist is a very advanced subject, and almost all experts in the industry are well-known.

Among the three positions in the Sudong team, nutritionists were the most difficult to find, but they were the first to be finalized.

Nuno Cruz had a target from the start, a colleague of his at the University of Lisbon.

Paul Lacasco, Professor of Clinical Nutrition, Dietetics, Medicine and Clinical Research Program, Faculty of Medicine, University of Lisbon, Portugal.

This is a well-known expert and scholar from the University of Lisbon and a well-known nutrition expert in Europe. He is regarded as an authoritative person in the industry. Unlike Scala and Downing who always follow Su Dong for training and competition, Paul Lacasco is more of a consultant. , according to Su Dong's situation, customize recipes and meals for him, so that he can play better in training and competition.

In addition to flying to Valencia once a week, he still teaches at the University of Lisbon.

But even so, Nuno Cruz personally flew to Lisbon, after all, he finally persuaded Paul Lacasco to agree to take up this position.

...

Although there is an employment relationship, Su Dong treats professionals with full courtesy and respect, and does not show the style of an employer, but asks for advice humbly, hoping that the three new team members can do their best to help themselves improve.

Subsequently, Su Dong, accompanied by Paul Lacasco and Grant Downing, and with the help of Valencia Club, went to a famous private hospital in Valencia for a very detailed general examination.

This will be an important basis for the private team to tailor training preparations for him and the training plan for the new season. It took two days to complete the inspection.

In the past two days, the private team has been constantly running in, not only running in with each other, but also running in with Su Dong.

After all, the training arrangements they gave also need Su Dong to implement.

The day before the Valencia summer training camp, Su Dong, accompanied by Mendes, came to the Paterna training base.

He also ushered in the first important task after joining Valencia.

That was the first meeting with coach Benitez.
