I Want to Be the King of Football

Which rock did this kid jump out of?

In the stands of the Joaquin Almeida Freitas Stadium in Morelense, a bald old Spanish stared at Su Dong on the pitch with interest and asked curiously.

Sporting Lisbon's second team was still forced to go on the defensive after Sudong scored the second goal.

No way, the overall strength is far inferior to the opponent, and they are fighting on the road. When the opponent is aggressively attacking, they have to defend.

Morelense also strengthened his emphasis on and marking Su Dong. Both central defenders stuck to Su Dong, which temporarily stopped Sporting Lisbon's counterattack momentum, but it also made his offense more difficult. No longer strong.

This is the offensive and defensive game of professional football.

As soon as the old man Xie Ding finished asking, a middle-aged Spanish man sitting next to him opened the materials in his hand and quickly found a name from it, His name is Su Dong, he is from China, and he started playing for the Portuguese Athletic Club in Lisbon last summer. , this is a team in the third tier and will be transferred to Sporting Lisbon during the winter break.

Chinese? The old man Xie Ding was surprised and nodded again: This kid is very good, he has the body, skills and speed, and he is very calm and decisive in his two-footed shot, especially the emergency stop. Such a height can stop Hold on, your skills are pretty good.”

Middle-aged Spain was a little surprised. I didn't expect the old man Xie Ding to rate an unknown Chinese player so highly.

who is he?

Luis Suarez.

The only legendary superstar in Spanish history to have won the European Ballon d'Or, he played for Barcelona and Inter Milan and other giants successively.

After retiring from the coaching position, he did not fade out of football, but went behind the scenes to serve as a senior advisor to Inter Milan President Moratti, providing valuable advice on Inter Milan's management, coach selection and signings.

When Inter Milan introduced Ronaldo from Barcelona, ​​it was Luis Suarez's most famous handwriting.

Not only that, but he is also the head of Inter's scouting network on the Iberian Peninsula.

Today, he made a special trip from his home in Spain to Porto, and then took a car for dozens of kilometers to arrive at Moreira de Conigs, just to inspect the nationally renowned talented young Cristiano in the second team of Sporting Lisbon. Ronaldo.

But unexpectedly, the old man accidentally discovered Su Dong.

The middle-aged Spanish picked up a pen, drew a circle on Su Dong's name, and remembered the name.

...

The match ended in a 2-2 draw.

Sporting Lisbon's second team did not upset the road.

Although the team is currently ranked sixth, its overall strength is behind Morelense, and it is very satisfying to be able to play two to two. No one can put forward more stringent requirements on this group of young teenagers.

Su Dong, who scored twice, performed very well and continued the excellent state of the past few rounds.

Ronnie also showed his outstanding personal strength.

After training with the first team, Su Dong has improved a lot, and Ronnie has also improved rapidly.

Whether it is the Portuguese media or the fans of Sporting Lisbon, they have high hopes for the local talent of the youth academy.

With Quaresma in the first team, Ronnie emerged again, and the formation of golden wings has become the wish of countless Sporting Lisbon fans.

What no one knew at all was that after the game, Sporting Lisbon II returned to the locker room. After washing, they got back on the bus and set off to return to Lisbon with Luis Suarez standing in the distance.

Watching the bus leave, Luis Suarez picked up the mobile phone in his trouser pocket, found Moratti's phone number, and called directly.

Ha, Louis, I heard that you went to Portugal? Moratti's hearty laughter came from the phone.

Yes, Massimo, I'm here to investigate the Portuguese genius.

I told you, Louis, you don't need to go in person, just find a scout. On the phone, Moratti's tone was caring, and it was obvious that the relationship between the two was unusual.

Besides, we have Ronaldo, why should we introduce a mini Ronaldo?

Luis Suarez smiled bitterly, Sports Lisbon should value him at around one million euros, and no more than two million euros at most. It's a good deal now, Massimo.

Potential?

Well, the physical condition, the speed, the technique and the ability to change direction are all excellent.

But only seventeen, isn't it?

We want to invest in the future, Massimo. Suarez advised.

Of course, Luis, you're right, we need to invest in the future, but he's only seventeen, and I think in three more years, when he's more mature, it'll be a better fit for us.

But it will definitely be more than this price by then.

Of course, as long as he has the strength. Moratti said boldly.

Luis Suarez can't do anything about it either, which falls under the club's transfer strategy.

Introducing a semi-finished product like Cristiano Ronaldo does have certain risks, so many giant teams would rather wait until the player grows up, become more mature and stable, and spend a higher price to introduce him, rather than work hard to cultivate.

That's how the giants work.

I also had an unexpected surprise, Massimo.

There aren't many that can surprise you.

A Chinese player, seventeen years old, has nothing to say about his body, technique and consciousness. He gives me a very complicated feeling.

How to say? Moratti was also interested.

He is tall and has a very obvious tactical effect, and his feet are very thin, a bit like Kluivert back then, but when he kicks up to hit the goal, he looks a bit like Batistuta, and his movements are also very smart...

Wait, wait, Louis, are you sure the person you're talking about is seventeen?

certainly.

That's kind of interesting. Moratti laughed.

I think so too, he should also be around a million euros.

You're here again, Louis. Moratti became impatient. He looks like Kluivert? But we have Vieri, he looks like Batistuta, but the problem is, the real god of war is in Rome. , if we need a scorer, why not Batistuta and go for a little Ares?

Luis Suarez was speechless.

He prefers to help Inter Milan spend less and get more in return.

But Moratti is more willing to introduce superstars, rather than semi-finished products.

Of course, Inter Milan is not short of money right now.

The morning after the game against Morelense, after training with Nuno Cruz in the gym, Sudong was called aside by head coach Boloni when he returned to the first team.

Boloni said the team was satisfied with his recent performance and hoped that he would continue to work hard.

I want you to be ready at all times.

In the past Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon drew at home with their opponents, and Jardel was injured in the game.

It was the first time he didn't score in a game since the scoring spree in January.

Nalizis, who replaced Jardel, played for nearly an hour, with a poor performance and no goals.

Now is the critical moment for Sporting Lisbon to hit the league title. Sporting Lisbon's advantage is not obvious, especially after this round of draws, followed by Boavista.

After that, Porto led by Mourinho was even more eyeing.

Not only that, but there will be a Portuguese Cup semi-final next, and the pressure on Sporting Lisbon, who are fighting on two fronts, is very high.

The four teams that have reached the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup are Sporting Lisbon against Maridimo and Porto against Lesos.

Sporting Lisbon and Porto are both playing at home, and the winner will be determined in one battle, and whoever wins will advance to the final.

It also made the game full of suspense.

But, at this terrible time, Jardel was injured.

The team doctor's test results after the game showed that Jardel was not seriously injured and would not affect his continued playing, but it was also a hidden danger.

After listening to Boloni's words, Su Dong didn't know how he should react.

are you happy?

Really happy, after all, he saw the opportunity in front of him.

But it's more stress.

...

As soon as Boloni left, Pontes followed and handed Su Dong a newspaper.

In an inconspicuous corner of the freshly released sports page of the Portuguese Public News, the score of yesterday's Portuguese League was introduced. Sporting Lisbon's 2-2 away draw with Morelense appeared on it.

Su Dong's name [SU] and the two goal times appear below the score in smaller font.

What does it feel like to report for the first time? Pontes asked with a smile.

Su Dong smiled slightly and shook his head, he didn't know how he felt.

If you insist on saying yes, it is a very unreal feeling, like a dream.

Keep going, I believe it won't take long, you will not only find your name on it, but also get a report of your own, and even see your own photo. Pontes encouraged.

He watched Su Dong come step by step with his own eyes, and he was very optimistic about Su Dong's future.

Holding the newspaper, Su Dong raised his head and stared blankly at the blue sky without a trace of clouds.

After playing Morelense on Saturday, Mendes arrived at the apartment with two Spanish guests on Tuesday night.

Sudong, Ronnie and Jose Semedo stayed at home and waited because they received the call ahead of time.

Luis Suarez and his friend, Garcia.

Frankly speaking, Sudong didn't know Luis Suarez before.

Because he played football too long ago, let alone Su Dong at that time, it is estimated that even his father was not born.

But Mendes reminded Sudong and Ronnie on the phone that Luis Suarez is not only a respected position in Spanish football, but also in European football, and is a senior adviser to Inter Milan president Moratti.

He has won the European Ballon d'Or.

This is the first time in Su Dong's life that he has seen a player who has won the highest honor in football.

Even if he looks old.

But this still made Su Dong feel very excited.

Especially Luis Suarez brought a gift he simply couldn't refuse.
