I Want to Be the King of Football

Late at night, although Lisbon International Airport is not as busy as it is during the day, there are still people coming and going.

Pontes and Jose Semedo waited patiently at the airport exit.

It was not until the sound of the airport broadcast that the flight from Madeira had arrived that the two noticed.

Not long after, they saw Su Dong and his party of four dragging their suitcases and walking out.

Su, Ronnie! Jose Semedo, who was the first to spot them, shouted and immediately greeted them.

Just rushing to the front, the Cape Verdean boy stopped and looked at the two old friends in front of him with a relatively unfamiliar look.

What's the matter? Ronnie felt very strange.

Not only was Jose Semedo strange, Pontes also looked at the two with wide eyes, very surprised.

You tanned. Jose Semedo laughed.

He has dark skin himself, but now Su Dong and Ronnie are both tanned.

Normal, you thought we were going on vacation? Shall we train under the scorching sun every day? Ronnie said of course.

Su Dong also thought it was funny.

Maybe it was because I watched it every day, so I didn't notice anything different, but two months apart, the reactions of Jose Semedo and Pontes were enough to prove that they were indeed tanned a lot.

It's good to get tanned. Pontes liked it on the side. The whole person looks a lot more energetic, and the muscles are also developed. Not bad, not bad, really good.

It can be seen that Pontes is still very satisfied with the training results of the two people during this period.

The tanned skin is a testament to their hard work, but more importantly, both have grown stronger.

The current height of Su Dong is 1.95 meters, which is quite a shocking height, but what is even more terrifying is that he has been gaining weight since before, especially in the past two months, he has increased his weight to eight fifteen kilograms.

This makes him still look a little thin, but compared to half a year ago, his muscles are really impressive.

Pontes is the clearest.

Originally, with the hard training level of Su Dong and Ronnie, they could add more weight and develop more amazing muscles, but Nuno Cruz didn't want them to do this, but wanted to do it step by step.

Su Dong's ideal weight should be between 90kg and 95kg. At present, there is still a certain distance.

But watching him walk all the way, he was full of wind, and compared to two months ago, the whole person can be said to be completely reborn.

Not only Su Dong, but Ronnie as well.

It can be seen that the vacations of these two boys were not in vain.

...

You're Pepe? Pontes turned his attention to Pepe.

Yes, hello, Mr. Pontes. Pepe extended her hand politely.

I have read your information, Sue and Ronnie have told me about you many times, and the head coach Boloni is also very impressed with you. During the pre-season training, you should seize the opportunity and show your strength. The coach is satisfied, and will not be recruiting in the central defender this summer, understand?

Sporting Lisbon doesn't have much money to invest in the transfer market, and now they need to introduce a midfielder. If Pepe can meet the team's needs and Andre Cruz stays in the team, I believe there will be no problem with the back line in the new season. .

Pepe has long known the situation of Sporting Lisbon from Su Dong and Ronnie. He knows very well that this is definitely a rare opportunity for him. If he seizes it, it is entirely possible for him to make a breakthrough in Sporting Lisbon. .

Therefore, the Brazilian central defender kept nodding his head, assuring that he would do his best.

At the same time, he did not forget to turn his head and nodded gratefully towards Su Dong and Ronnie.

On the contrary, Jose Semedo was a little lost.

He is also a center back.

The first team also inspected him, but Boloni was not satisfied with him, and even the second team coach Jean James was a little dissatisfied with him, which made Jose Semedo's situation in the team in the new season not too bad. As one wishes.

Let's go, go home quickly, and speak slowly. Jose Semedo quickly changed the subject and concealed his loss.

Su Dong and Ronnie glanced at each other, and both saw what the other was seeing, but there was nothing they could do about it.

As friends, they have persuaded Jose Semedo more than once. Even two months ago, when they set off to Madeira, they advised him to go with him several times, but Semedo refused.

Although professional football also has its own sophistication, in the final analysis, it still relies on strength to speak.

If Jose Semedo himself can't meet the requirements, is it possible that Sudong and Ronnie can still let the team continue to use him? keep him?

...

Back in Madeira, Su Dong and Ronnie had made a deal with Pepe.

When they came to Lisbon, the Brazilians lived with them temporarily.

Anyway, they still have a guest room, just for Pepe.

Although it is a guest room, it is actually much better than Pepe's rental in Madeira.

When the Brazilian central defender entered, he was a little confused.

I've never lived in such a nice house! Pepe said excitedly.

Best of all, no rent is required.

You'll live here in the future, it's better to stay here forever. Su Dong encouraged with a smile.

Isn't it? The four of us just made a table of mahjong. Ronnie also smiled.

Mahjong?

Pepe apparently never played this thing, and it was Jose Semedo who finally explained what mahjong was.

Of course, this is also purely a joke.

Su Dong and Ronnie are busy training on weekdays, so how can they have time to play mahjong?

However, after arriving in Lisbon, returning home, and packing up, Ronnie ran out alone and did not return overnight.

In this regard, Su Dong and Jose Semedo have long been used to it.

Early the next morning, when Su Dong and Pepe came back from running training outside, they found Ronnie walking against the wall with weak hands and feet.

Cough, as a human being, you still can't be too rude!

Sporting Lisbon won a historic double last season, which made every move of the team attract attention.

Especially in the case of Porto's frequent purchases and Benfica's proper operation, it makes the Green Lions seem to have a dim prospect, which makes fans feel quite worried.

The good news is that Romanian center Nikulei, who is trusted by coach Boloni, is back from injury, and midfielder Sa Pinto is also returning from injury after surgery. These are all help to Sporting Lisbon.

But the team is desperate to bring in a midfielder after missing out on Giovanni and Petit.

Either a young and powerful player, or an experienced veteran, this is the signing strategy of Sporting Lisbon.

The team is currently looking for candidates.

The first game of the new season will start on August 14th.

Due to the points in the European war, although it is the champion of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon still needs to participate in the third round of the Champions League qualifiers. Only by defeating the opponent in the qualifiers can Sporting Lisbon successfully advance to the group stage.

However, the Champions League qualifiers are not easy to play. The opponents include such giants as the Bundesliga Bayern Munich, La Liga Barcelona, ​​Premier League Newcastle and Serie A Milan duo, and even Premier League Manchester United have to play the third round of qualifiers.

So, the next step is to see the luck of the draw.

If you are lucky and draw an opponent of comparable strength, Sporting Lisbon is more likely to advance. If you are unlucky to draw a giant, you can only rely on upset.

The qualifiers are divided into two rounds, with a Portuguese Super Cup interspersed in the middle. After the second round, it will be the first match of the Portuguese Super Cup of the new season, so throughout August, the competition pressure of Sporting Lisbon is still very high.

...

On the first day of the training camp, Su Dong and Ronnie became the focus of everyone watching.

It's not that they became stronger, but more importantly, they got a full layer of tan, which made them ridiculed by their teammates.

I'm black, and I've become stronger! Su Dong smiled confidently.

Jardel naturally didn't believe it, with an expression that no matter how strong you are, he waved his finger at Su Dong.

The Brazilian center did not make much transfer rumors this summer.

It was reported before that a Premier League team wanted to invite him, but Jardel rejected the invitation from the Premier League team because the team could participate in the Champions League. It is said that this disappointed the management of Sporting Lisbon.

His annual salary is too high, and the pressure on Sporting Lisbon is really high.

Romanian center Nikule is still like a lone ranger. He has been with the team for a year, but so far, apart from the head coach Boloni, he seems to have no other friends, and he has always acted alone.

If it is said that he was still recovering from an injury before, then after his return from injury in the new season, when Jardel and Su Dong and others got together, talking and laughing, he would just quietly pack up there by himself.

Captain Barbossa wanted to help him and called him several times, but he only perfunctory words and remained the same.

However, in the subsequent training, Su Dong and Ronnie showed the results of their hard work in the past two months.

Especially in the team training, Su Dong faced Andre Cruise, although he was still suppressed, but in terms of physical confrontation, he was no longer at a disadvantage, and even had the advantage of height and long legs. Bring out your own characteristics.

This also convinced Andre Cruz that Su Dong had made great progress during this period.

The same is true for Ronnie. His several breakthroughs with the ball on the wing are very sharp. It is the old problem of sticking the ball that makes him a little bit deducted, but overall, compared with last season, Ronnie has also improved a lot. big.

It's just pre-season training and preparations, and the state has not been adjusted yet, so the specific performance will not be known until the preparations and warm-up matches.

Su Dong is more concerned about his status in the team.

Jardel stayed in the team, Nikulei returned from injury, Lawrenzo and Gisvi both entered the first team to participate in the training camp, Su Dong was caught in the middle, and the situation was still a bit embarrassing.

He was not afraid of Laurenceo and Gisvi, mainly Jardel and Nikulei.

One is the European Golden Boot last season, whose status in the team cannot be shaken.

At this moment, Su Dong began to feel fortunate. He tried his best to show himself at the end of last season, and finally left a good impression on the head coach Boloni. Otherwise, he would only be like Lawrenzo and Gisvey. ,to be observed.

On the second day of the team's training camp, the long-running midfield signings of Sporting Lisbon came quietly.

Alcochete is boiling!
