I Want to Be the King of Football

The south gate of Edward VII Park is directly opposite the Marquis of Pombal Square, which is the meeting point of five important transportation routes in Lisbon, as well as an important subway station.

Go around the circular square and cross two intersections, turn east into Rue du Duc Lore, and walk another 600 meters to the Don Jose apartment.

This is the dormitory that the team arranged for Ronnie.

Through the access control, I went straight upstairs to the door of the dormitory. Just as I was about to get the key, the door suddenly opened from the inside.

Ah, Ronnie, why are you back now? Where have you been without seeing anyone all day?

The speaker was a tall, strong, dark-skinned African-American teenager.

His name is Jose Semedo, from Cape Verde.

It's nothing, I was bored alone, so I went to practice in the park. Ronnie replied lightly.

Semedo shrugged. Everyone on the team knew that Ronnie was a training freak. He could even practice in the gym until more than two in the morning, only to be chased away by club security.

However, he is also a leader in the team's youth academy.

When the two passed by, Ronnie smelled the thick cologne on Semedo and frowned.

José, where are you going?

Semedo turned around, grinned, and smiled with dazzling white teeth: Ugo said to introduce a few hot beauties to us, are you interested in going together?

Now that the league is suspended, there is no training in the youth academy, and their activities are very free.

Ronnie shook his head with a look I knew it was.

Please, Ronnie, you are the most handsome of us. Don't always think about your Madeira girl. When you come to Lisbon, you should let go of your arms and accept new and better things, right? Semei More advice.

Ronnie shook his head, Go ahead, I'm not interested in this.

That's because you haven't tasted its good taste. Semedo seduced.

Ronnie was noncommittal and walked straight into the dormitory.

He and Semedo are teammates in the academy, and he is the only friend he can count on the team.

Because both have Cape Verdean blood.

Ronnie's father's grandmother was from Cape Verde.

This makes them feel a little closer by nature, becoming friends and roommates, but that's about it.

...

Semedo is gone, but the air of the dormitory is still filled with the smell of hormonal cologne.

Ronnie smiled helplessly, walked over to the phone, and dialed a familiar number.

Hello, I'm Pontes. As soon as the call was connected, a familiar voice came from there.

Hey Lionel, I'm Ronnie. Ronnie greeted kindly.

Oh my God, Ronnie, why did you suddenly think of calling me? God, it's been a long time since I heard from you.

Lionel Pontes over the phone was excited.

Over the years, he has been boasting to everyone that Ronnie is the most talented and most powerful genius he has ever brought.

Moreover, the two came from the same place and were considered hometown people.

Ronnie is not a person who is very good at chatting with others, even in the face of a fellow who has led him in the youth team for four years.

Soon, he shifted the conversation to the purpose of the call.

It's like this, Lionel, you have a lot of experience in youth training. I have some training questions that I want to ask you. I hope you can help me.

I'm afraid it won't work, Ronnie. Pontes over the phone felt regretful, You know, I'm only good at cultivating the age group of 10-15 years old, and I have taught you all my skills before. , I'm afraid there is no way to answer your question now, I suggest that you'd better ask Aurelio, or Nuno.

Aurelio Pereira, Ronnie's mentor, is also the team's youth training director.

Nuno Nare was Ronnie's former youth coach, so it shouldn't be the case in the new season.

All I want to ask is about this age group. Ronnie was a little embarrassed.

Oh, then let's hear it.

That's right, if there is a 16- or 17-year-old player, many basic technical movements are not standard and non-standard, is there any way to correct it and help him improve?

Sixteen or seventeen years old? Pontes over the phone shook his head in embarrassment, I'm afraid it will be difficult, because it has become a habit and formed muscle memory, but Ronnie, your technical movements are quite standard. Yes, you don't have to worry about this issue.

Lionel, I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about a friend of mine.

That shouldn't be the case. Normally, if the technology is not standardized, it will not pass our team's assessment and will not be able to enter the youth training camp.

He's not on our team.

Other teams?

Um.

Your friend?

Just met today.

Oh my god, it's absolutely unbelievable, but delightful, that you have a new friend, haha...

Ronnie was embarrassed on the phone because he didn't think he was lonely.

At best, he doesn't interact much with other teammates.

A person who works hard all day, has no time to make friends?

Speaking of business, Lionel, is there any way?

He's missed the best age for technology to shape.

I know you must have a way, this one is your specialty, isn't it?

Well, there is a way, but it's really difficult, because it takes a lot of effort to change a person's habits. Do you think he can do it?

I don't know. Ronnie shook his head. He and Su Dong had known each other for just a day. But I have a good relationship with him. He is an avid football fan, and it seems like he will die when training.

same as you?

almost.

There is still a chance. Pontes replied, It can be corrected through training equipment and props, and the training needs to be slightly modified. I will think about it tomorrow and send another information to your mailbox.

Tomorrow? Ronnie frowned. Come on tonight, okay? Thank you, Lionel, I'll treat you to dinner another day.

Are you in a hurry?

Well, an appointment for tomorrow morning.

What time is it?

Five o'clock.

When answering, Su Dong's words sounded in Ronnie's mind: Have you seen Lisbon at 5 in the morning?

There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, I have seen it at two in the morning.

Sure enough, they are like you. They are all lunatics. Pontes said on the phone.

…………

…………

As a Virgo, Su Dong demands perfection from himself.

When he returned to the dormitory, took a shower, and lay on the bed, he entered the system of the road to the king, and firstly increased the potential values ​​of the four attributes of technology, shooting, speed and strength to the full value of 99 points.

Later, it was found that he still had a lot of ball king value left, so he worked hard to fill up the potential values ​​of the two attributes of defense and stealing.

All of a sudden, 27,000 penalty points were spent, and the points that Su Dong accumulated this afternoon were almost spent.

However, looking at the personal attribute panel, the potential value is all 99 points, and the mood is suddenly much more comfortable.

Virgo men are so unpretentious and boring.

Today's one-on-one duel with Ronnie, although the strength has improved slightly, but the progress is not great.

Su Dong feels that he still needs to receive more professional youth training guidance, especially for some of his unprofessional technical movements and skills, which need to be corrected.

But don't underestimate this.

Unprofessional technical movements and skills will not only affect the stability of play, but also easily cause injuries.

Many people say that Ronaldo's frequent injuries have something to do with his playing habits, especially the pendulum.

Many South American players are like this. To say it is good is a flash of creativity or randomness, and to say it is ugly is that the technical movements are irregular and unscientific. Everyone acts recklessly.

Of course, the players trained by the more standardized and scientific European youth training are somewhat ingenious and lack some spirituality.

These are all too far away from Su Dong, and he has not yet reached that level.

Now, he still hopes to be down-to-earth and improve his strength as soon as possible.

At the very least, he has to work harder to get a foothold in the youth team of the Portuguese Atlético de Portugal, even if it is only the youth academy of the third-tier teams.

...

After practicing all day, he was tired and tired, and Su Dong fell asleep early.

The next morning, before five o'clock, he was woken up by an alarm.

After brushing his teeth, washing his face and changing his clothes, he ran all the way to Edward VII Park.

At the south gate of the park, he saw Ronnie walking from the east in the distance.

There was no one around, and the two easily saw each other and smiled at each other in unison.

What is this? Su Dong saw that he was carrying a lot of things in his hand.

Agility ladders, obstacle cones, obstacle bars... Ronnie introduced the equipment in his hand, They are all used in the training later. This is what I carefully prepared for you, hell-style devil training.

After he finished speaking, Ronnie gave him a threatening look, It's too late for you to regret it now.

Su Dong snorted twice, didn't talk to him, walked over, took the equipment from Ronnie, and walked straight into the park.

He didn't know that this was what Ronnie wanted to help him correct those technical movements.

Although the two have only known each other for a day, they have similar interests, especially when he feels Ronnie's thoughts, Su Dong feels warm in his heart.

This was the first warmth he felt after coming to Portugal.

Ronnie didn't say much, and followed Su Dong into the park.

He did this purely because he admired Su Dong, a peer with a similar personality, and didn't even think about getting anything in return.

He just took Su Dong as a friend very simply.

Isn't that what a friend should do?

The two did not go to the three-person training ground yesterday, but went directly to the largest seven-person training ground.

Let me tell you, I learned this training method from Lionel Pontes. Ronnie introduced the origin to Su Dong while setting up the venue and equipment.

You sure don't know Lionel Pontes, do you?

Let me tell you, he is the best academy specialist in Portugal, especially at the age of 10-15.

When he said this, Ronnie stopped specially, turned his head, and hit Su Dong with a smile, Your current basic skills are probably equivalent to a 10-year-old child, and you are still quite far from defeating me.

Su Dong was clear in his heart, but he did not show weakness.
