I Want to Be the King of Football

Valencia city, Aragon Street.

It's here.

Mendes stopped in front of a restaurant and said to Su Dong in the passenger seat.

Su Dong looked sideways and found that this high-end restaurant by the road had a very interesting name.

Austria number seven.

It is said that this is the place where Valencia players often gather for dinner, and it is quite famous locally.

Su Dong looked around through the car window, and found that there were reporters waiting at the door. Obviously, he also received wind.

Paparazzi are everywhere, and there must be someone in the team's locker room leaking information, which is normal.

Players, clubs and media reporters, the interests of these three are often entangled with each other. As long as it is not a big matter, basically no one will investigate who has disclosed the rumors.

Su Dong looked at the time, said goodbye to Mendes, opened the door and went out.

...

Vicente!

Someone in the group of reporters shouted, and they all looked over immediately.

Vicente, I'm a reporter from the Valencia daily, I would like to ask you, what do you think of this captain's election?

Do you think Benitez's reforms are inhumane?

Who do you think you will consider to be the captain?

The reporters swarmed around Vicente, and although they dared not really block his way, they really made it impossible for him to move.

Su Dong took advantage of this opportunity, of course, quickened his pace, hurried to catch up, tried to sneak through the border, and rushed into the restaurant.

Unexpectedly, there was another person who had the same thoughts as him, and the sharp-eyed reporter quickly noticed them.

It's Su Dong! New aid Su Dong!

He's so tall! He's handsome!

And Aimar!

When did he return to Valencia?

The reporter immediately shook off Vicente,

All rushed towards Su Dong and Aimar.

The two of them did not expect that this group of reporters would become so fast. Instead, it was Vicente, who sighed in relief, looked back at Su Dong and Aimar, smiled and nodded, and entered the restaurant without any reluctance. .

Thank you for your courageous action!

Originally wanted to muddle through, but unexpectedly they were blocked at the door, and Su Dong and Aimar were also helpless.

Su, you just joined the team yesterday, do you know what you are going to do today?

Did Canizares call you? Did he solicit your votes?

You met Benitez, did he tell you who to vote for?

Aimar, you are one of the popular candidates for the captain. You appeared at the same time as Su. Does this mean that you have already won this precious vote from Su?

Su, what do you think of Ayala's previous remarks about Barcelona?

Su Dong kept pushing away the media reporters in front of him, but the group of guys still held back.

Also in an awkward situation is Aimar. The Argentine player seemed a little overwhelmed when facing reporters. It seems that he doesn't like dealing with media reporters on weekdays.

Seeing that the door of the restaurant was close at hand, but there were so many people in the middle, Su Dong and Aimar felt a little bitter in their hearts.

The two looked at each other, and they were somewhat tacit, and both had an idea.

Aimar was short and walked in front of Su Dong and was responsible for getting out of the gap, while Su Dong was burly and strong and followed Aimar. As soon as the gap opened, he rushed over and pushed the crowd away.

In this way, the two tacitly rushed through the crowd and got into the restaurant.

...

call!

Aimar let out a sigh of relief and looked back at the reporters who were still waving at him, very frightened.

If he was alone, he would probably be submerged among reporters.

Although there are only more than 20 people, he can't stand his small strength and is usually bullied.

They pick me up every time, and sometimes they won't let me go after being blocked for a long time. Fortunately, you are here this time. Aimar smiled gratefully at Su Dong.

He is not tall, but he is very handsome, especially when he smiles brightly.

Su Dong! Su Dong smiled and stretched out his hand.

Aimar. Aimar also smiled and shook hands with Su Dong.

After the two new teammates formally met, they walked into the restaurant together.

At this time, the players of the first team are basically all in, and the seats are based on first-come-first-arrival and closeness to each other.

Canizares, Albelda, Baraja, Vicente, Marchena, and Albiol all got together.

After Aymar swept around, he slowly walked to the area where Ayala, Pellegrino and others were.

Su Dong hesitated for a moment, and followed him, because he found that the new aid Mohamed Sissoko was also in this area.

There are factions in the locker room, which is very normal. The key is whether there are conflicts between factions.

As the saying goes: things gather like like, people are divided into groups.

Spanish local players are in groups, and Argentina and South American players are in groups. This is very normal. It is even estimated that there are other small factions in their respective groups.

Su Dong sat down next to Aimar, still observing the situation at the scene, and found that the atmosphere was still very good, and there was not much tension, which made him relieved.

Don't worry, it's not as terrifying and bizarre as the outside media reporters said. Aimar next to him said softly.

Su Dong nodded slightly, and he also noticed.

Although Valencia has made outstanding achievements in the past few years, a group of foreign players headed by Ayala, but a group of local players headed by Canizares, Albelda and Baraja are still the backbone.

Before the team was a captain and three vice captains, Ayala is one of the vice captains.

But not long ago, Benitez believed that the configuration of the four captains was too bloated, which was not conducive to the management of the locker room, so he decided to abolish the two captains and become one officer and one pair.

The consequent problem is that Valencia's players have been seduced by the outside world.

Not long ago, Arsenal's Wenger publicly expressed his interest in Canizares, because the old goalkeeper Seaman, who was unwilling to be a substitute, moved to Manchester City on a free transfer. Arsenal must introduce an experienced main goalkeeper. Wenger Grid wants to get Canizares.

With Valencia's financial resources, if Wenger forces a shot, it is unlikely that Canizares will be forced to stay.

Fortunately, Canizares has publicly expressed his loyalty to Valencia and expressed his determination to stay in the team.

But at the same time, he also announced his withdrawal from the captain's election.

Obviously, Canizares may not have the idea of ​​leaving the team, and giving up the captaincy is also a consideration for this.

If Canizares, as the captain, is still relatively secretive, then when Ayala accepted the poaching of Barcelona, ​​he publicly stated that he was honored to receive the invitation from Barcelona, ​​which caused Valencia fans to of dissatisfaction.

As the team's vice-captain, Ayala's statement is undoubtedly disappointing.

Because of this, in this election, everyone basically concluded that Ayala missed the competition between captain and vice captain, but Aymar, the core of the team's midfield, was pushed to the front.

But as far as Su Dong observed, Aimar was not here.

Wait a minute, it's a secret ballot, and new players can choose to abstain. Aimar reminded.

Su Dong responded with a smile.

In fact, he had already decided long before he entered the door, and he would abstain from voting, or a blank vote, regardless of whether there was an abstention statement.

It's only been a day since he joined the team, and he has no reason to get involved in this kind of dispute.

However, it was a great opportunity for him to look inside the Valencia dressing room.

So far, although there are factions in the team, the atmosphere of the captain election is still very friendly. I don't know if it is because of the dominance of the Spanish local faction.

...

After the 28 players of the first team have all arrived, the outgoing captain Canizares presided over the dinner and announced the start of a secret ballot on the captain and vice-captain.

The way to vote is very simple. Everyone will be assigned an identical folded card. After opening it, write the jersey number of the candidate for the captain and vice-captain in his mind. After closing it, he will throw it into the cardboard box in Canizares' hands. .

When distributing the jam, Su Dong said he abstained, and Canizares also agreed with Su Dong to abstain.

Another new aid, Mohammad Sissoko, followed suit and announced that he abstained and did not intend to participate.

They are all newcomers, and no one is willing to do such offending things at this time.

However, it is surprising to say that the atmosphere at the election site was surprisingly good.

Whether it's the winning Spanish players or foreign players such as Ayala and Pellegrino, they all talk to each other very much, and even joke with each other, there is no smell of competition.

The final election results were not unexpected, and the captain was the least suspenseful.

As one of the three previous vice-captains, when Canizares announced his withdrawal from the election and Ayala was disqualified from the candidacy due to the transfer incident, Albelda was elected as the captain with almost no suspense.

As a local youth training player in Valencia, Albelda is the team's flag and benchmark, well-deserved.

The competition for the vice-captain is fierce.

According to the selection rules, the captain of Valencia has to consider qualifications. The 38-year-old Italian veteran Carboni is the oldest, but he is also too old. The teams that joined in 2008 have also made important contributions, so both of them are popular candidates for vice captains.

However, Aimar announced his resignation early, saying that he did not have the ability to be the captain.

In the end, between the two players, Baraja and Carboni, Baraja became the team's vice-captain without a hitch.

It is also interesting to say that Valencia's pair of double midfielders is a world-class combination, and now they have become the team's captain and vice-captain, both on and off the field, they have become the best partners.

Sudong has been watching, and he began to believe that the internal atmosphere of Valencia's dressing room is still very good.

Albelda and Baraja were both elected captains, no doubt once again proved the backbone of the Spanish local players.

As a new aid, he doesn't need to worry too much about this.

He believes that as long as he works hard and improves his strength, no matter who is the captain, it will not affect him.

But after this captain's election, Su Dong felt the atmosphere of Valencia's locker room, which further convinced him that this team has great potential.

Only a team with concerted efforts in the locker room and a team with the same mind can be successful!
