I Want to Be the King of Football

Su, do you want to beat him?

Pepe was shocked when he heard Ronnie's words.

Enemies have a narrow road, and they meet on a narrow road, but this is not the case.

Do it without saying a word?

After all, we are all playing in the Portuguese Super League, and it is not a good thing to fight in person.

Besides, I have something to do!

The expression on Pepe's face changed a few times, and finally he made a decision that surprised Su Dong and others.

The Brazilian central defender, who was fierce on the pitch and seemed to want to eat people, turned around and ran away without hesitation after listening to Ronnie's harsh words.

Yes, that's right, he turned around and ran, and he was so fast!

Su Dong and Ronnie looked at each other in disbelief.

Is it necessary to be frightened like this?

Su. Ronnie gently bumped Su Dong's arm with his elbow, Am I so fierce now?

With a ruthless word, let Pepe, the mad dog, run away?

Su Dong shook his head dazedly. He also felt very puzzled. There was no reason, wasn't he?

I guess he's not afraid of you being fierce, but that he thinks you're ugly. Su Dong thought for a while and replied.

Ronnie turned his head, looked mournfully at his buddy, and then burst out laughing.

It's okay, look at him, I guess he lives in Falcao Village. Although I have been away from home for many years, there are still legends about my brother back then. Finding someone is as simple as going home for dinner. Ronnie was very quick. Think about it.

Isn't Pepe a substitute for Maridimo? Why is he here? Nuno Cruz asked in surprise.

Ronnie smiled and pointed to the north of the village, Maridimo's home court is in the city, but their training base is just north of our village. Seeing how cowardly Pepe is, I don't think they would do well in the team.

It's a matter of course that a young player who's not doing well is renting at a fan's house next door to the training base.

Su Dong has also experienced such a situation, and naturally he can understand it.

Let's go, let's go, don't have the same knowledge as him, anyway, we won the game. Su Dong said.

Ronnie pouted, but he didn't really want to beat Pepe, he was just playing hard.

...

Just as the three entered Ronnie's house, Pepe, who ran out of Falcao Village in one breath, stopped panting.

Sitting on the side of the road, the Brazilian central defender kept patting his chest and breathing hard.

It's unfortunate, how did you meet these two guys when you went out?

After speaking, Pepe looked back cautiously, and he was relieved when he was sure that no one was chasing after him.

Fortunately, I didn't chase after him, otherwise...

Ronnie is about the same size as Pepe, Su Dong is about 1.9 meters tall, and next to him is a middle-aged man who looks like a teacher. Pepe is definitely not afraid of one-on-one, but the problem is that there are three of them.

Besides, don't look at how ruthless Pepe is on the court, in fact, he is quite gentle on the court.

Don't go that way in the future. Pepe said to herself.

For a stranger like him, it's best not to cause trouble.

This is also what Pepe learned after leaving home as a child.

Walk down the mountain along the village road and enter the most prosperous neighborhood of Funchal.

Pei Pei came to a newly opened restaurant with familiarity and pushed the door directly in.

Hey Pepe, you're late.

As soon as you enter the door, you are greeted with an accusation.

I'm sorry, boss, I accidentally encountered some accidents when I went out. I promise not to do it next time. Pepe quickly explained.

No, being late means being late, and you will be fined half your wages today.

Half? Pepe pulled her face down.

He was already very fierce, and when his face was pulled, he looked even more fierce.

The boss was also terrified, but he still asked sternly: What? You don't agree? Do you still want to do it?

Pepe clenched his fists with both hands, gritted his teeth, and nodded with all his strength, Okay, I'll take it, listen to the boss. After that, the Brazilian squeezed out a stiff smile.

Get to work now!

...

Two hours later, the restaurant began to usher in the lunch rush.

Pepe, dressed as a waiter, was busy in the restaurant.

He not only has to clean the table, serve dishes, but also be responsible for washing dishes in the back kitchen. He moved a little slower, and the shout came.

There's a guest in Box 3, quickly wipe the table.

Come on. Pepe just stood up straight and didn't catch her breath. After hearing the shout, she could only reply and walk over quickly.

Just as he was about to enter the door, he saw that the guests sitting inside were Su Dong and others who had just met in the village.

It's just that there were only three of them just now, but now there are eight of them.

This restaurant is newly opened. I heard that it is delicious. You can try it later. Ronnie's mother said.

Everyone's attention was not on the waiter, only when Su Dong turned his head and glanced at the entrance, he saw Pepe.

The Brazilian central defender knew that Su Dong recognized him, and immediately pulled down the brim of his hat.

Sorry, it's been a long wait, I'll help you clean the table.

When Pepe came over, she kept praying in her heart.

Don't say it!

He swore that if Su Dong called him at this time, it would definitely be the most embarrassing and shameful thing in his life.

He really didn't want to be recognized.

Okay, keep the things, we will clean them ourselves, you can go out. Su Dong said.

Pepe Rumeng was pardoned, and after giving Su Dong a grateful glance, she quickly turned around and exited.

From the beginning to the end, Ronnie only focused on talking to his family, and didn't notice who the waiter who came in and went out was.

...

The food in the restaurant is really good, but Su Dong has no taste.

He could understand Pepe's situation.

According to previous information, Pepe has always been a youth team player since he came to Maritimo. He didn't play the main team until the end of the season due to injuries in the team, but because of this, it is conceivable that his situation is not not ideal.

During his time at the Portuguese Athletics Club, Su Dong's life depended on the support of his parents in China to survive.

Without the support of his parents, he would have to work part-time to earn money.

Don't look at the fact that Maritimo is a Portuguese Super League team, but the salary they give to a young player like Pepe may not be as high.

To put it bluntly, Pepe and the others came to Madeira from Brazil just to find a dream.

Isn't that the case with Su Dong?

But even so, Su Dong didn't plan to help him because he didn't like Pepe.

Especially Pepe, who is like a mad dog on the court and does everything he can to his opponents.

Things in the world are sometimes so strange.

After lunch, the three of Su Dong accompanied Ronnie's family to the villa they rented to rest and visit.

After parting in the afternoon, Nuno Cruz took Su Dong and Ronnie to the gym, saying that they had to get acquainted with the venue first, and they would start formal training tomorrow.

This is a gym with well-equipped equipment, a large venue, and a variety of professional coaches. It is said that it has also cooperated with Maritimo, which is why Nuno Cruz chose it.

But what really surprised Su Dong was that he ran into Pepe again in this gym.

In just one day, after three encounters, Su Dong really didn't know how to react.

Pepe was also very surprised when he saw him, and even forgot to avoid it, and was directly seen by Ronnie.

Why are you here?

Pepe was a little embarrassed, I work part-time here.

Aren't you a Maridimo player?

Yes, there is cooperation with our team here, and I haven't signed a long-term contract yet, so when the league is suspended, I always have to find myself a job and make some money, right?

Su Dong and Ronnie suddenly realized.

Although Europe is the core of professional football, the Portuguese Super League can be regarded as a major league in European football, and Maritimo is a Portuguese super team, but in fact, they still have many small tricks that outsiders can't imagine. .

For example, what Pepe said, during the suspension of the league, Maritimo obviously did not pay him a salary, or only a small amount, which could not even meet the living expenses of him and his family, so he needed to work part-time to make money.

How much to pay depends on how the club's contract to the player stipulates.

For a Brazilian player like Pepe who has left his hometown, he is the one with the least bargaining power.

Unless he can kick it out.

I wanted to beat you up, let out my anger, but now that you are like this, forget it. Ronnie was happy.

In fact, even in the village just now, he never thought of actually beating Pepe.

Are you here for training? Pepe asked with concern.

Mmmm. Ronnie nodded and pointed to Nuno Cruise not far away, That's our personal trainer.

Pepe's eyes were full of envy, all of which had a personal trainer.

Then can I watch while you train? Pepe asked again.

What? It'll be fine if you don't beat you up, but you still want to steal your lessons? Ronnie was ruthless again.

No, no, I just want to see how to practice, but I won't mess around. I promise not to disturb you, and I can be your sparring partner for free. Pepe said.

Ronnie pondered for a while and looked at Su Dong, It seems that we are still at a disadvantage.

Su Dong smiled. Compared with the mad dog Pepe on the court, he preferred this Pepe off the court.

I don't care, you decide. Su Dong replied.

He did remember that when he was playing Maridimo, Pepe's physical fitness was very good, and the defense was a little frizzy, but the physical confrontation was quite amazing. Ronnie fell to the ground after being hit by him.

He has just mastered Vieri's [Invincible], and on weekdays, he just needs to have a player with super physical confrontation like Pepe to accompany him, so that he can master the ability and skills of physical confrontation faster.

If Su Dong did not object, it was basically acquiescence.

Pepe once again cast a grateful look at Su Dong.

Ronnie simply used Pepe as a sparring coach, and reluctantly agreed to Pepe's request.

Of course, Nuno Cruz has no objection, because with one more sparring partner, he can do a lot less, such as setting up venues and equipment, and he doesn't mind someone stealing lessons.

In this way, the four reached an agreement on the spot.

Go to yoga every morning and go to the gym every afternoon.
