SYSTEM: I Want to Be the King of Football

chapter 14

Edward VII Park in the morning was very peaceful.

On the indoor soccer field near the South Gate, Su Dongzheng regarded the barrier pole in front of him as a defensive puppet, training his shooting action repeatedly.

Either slap one leg and then fire an angry shot, or turn around to reach the goal after holding the ball in the back.

The difference is that each kick will simulate a different situation and choose different footwork and angles.

This kind of training was extremely boring, but Su Dong did not seem to feel that way, repeating it over and over again on the field, sweating like rain.

Not far away in the shade by the sidelines, Ronnie and Jose Semedo were both sitting on the ground, watching in silence.

“Have you noticed something was wrong with him lately?” Ask Semedo suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

"It's hard to say, it just feels like he's training harder than ever."

"Maybe stimulated," guess Ronnie.

"You mean, that opener?"

Ronnie did not reply, and Su Dong did not say it, but he guessed it.

In fact, after the opening game, Ronnie himself has trained harder than before.

He was already behind Quaresma, and he didn't want to get any further.

If you work hard, you may not be able to catch up, but if you don't work hard, you can never catch up.

“It's a good thing, isn't it?” Ronnie looked at Semedo deeply, his roommate for years was a little lazy, “To be honest, Jose, you have to think about it, and if this continues, don't ' "Don't talk about it. The team is out, I think you'll be loaned out sooner or later."

Jose Semedo did not perform well at Sporting Lisbon's youth academy, otherwise he would not have been eliminated.

After returning, he still did not seem to have learned any lessons.

After Semedo listened, there was a hint of avoidance in his eyes, but his expression was feigning indifference, and he smiled: "It's not bad to go on loan. Maybe you can't play in a team. Going out will be the main force. "

After he finished speaking, he himself laughed flatly.

Ronnie doesn't seem to have heard what he said. He sighed and got up from the ground, "Don't say, you still have to practice. One day, I'll kill Quaresma!"

After speaking, he quickly rushed to the court.

"Su, I'll practice with you!"

……

Jose Semedo lay lazily on the sidelines, watching Sudong and Ronnie fight one-on-one on the field, the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a kind of jealousy, and at the same time, the smile on his face gradually faded away, replaced by a kind of jealousy, a deep sadness.

He was born in a poor immigrant family of Cape Verde in Setubal, and has played football on the streets since he was a child.

Despite his short stature, only 1.83 meters, but with the muscle and speed of an African player, he has been faster and stronger than his peers since he was a child. It makes sense that he would gradually stand out and be admired by some people. He came to giants like Sporting Lisbon to receive training early.

That year, he was twelve.

According to Sporting Lisbon's youth training standards, Semedo's ability is still not good, even failing to meet the team's requirements. His playing habits since childhood depend heavily on his body and speed.

This was very effective in the junior team, but if his body and speed could not benefit, then he could not help it.

Sporting Lisbon did not fail to see this problem. They had adjusted the training program targeted at him from the start, but Semedo was not Ronny, he could not stand the boring and boring training.

During the period when he retired by Sporting Lisbon, he once learned from the pain and was determined to change his mind.

Because he knew that he bore the hopes of the whole family.

His family members all relied on him to be able to play games, become a professional player, even become a star, earn more money, and completely change the fate of the family.

This determination allowed him to return to Sporting Lisbon, but unfortunately it did not last long.

The outside world is beautiful.

There was a group of beautiful women who took the initiative to give and cuddle as long as they heard the name Sporting Lisbon; there was a group of reporters who were ready to take them to eat, drink, dance and sing whenever and wherever, and just wanted to hear some team secrets from their mouths; there were also some excited Follow them, and fans with Rongyan ...

Isn't this fragrant?

Why do you have to train so hard?

Even running to the curb in the old town and listening to the street buskers is much more fun than practicing, right?

Semedo doesn't understand.

The children of poor families mature prematurely, he understands, knows better than anyone else.

Every time he saw Su Dong and Ronnie, he wanted to take a decision and work hard with them, but every time he could not hold on.

It's too bitter!

He could not understand, why could Su Dong and Ronnie survive?

It seemed like Su Dong and Ronnie couldn't understand it, why couldn't they survive?

Perhaps, as Su Dong had said, the weak could never comprehend strong desires, and the strong could never comprehend weak sorrows.

And thinking of this, Semedo stood still, and did not say a word to his friends who were fighting on the field, bowed his head, and left Edward VII Park quietly.

The two facing each other on the field seemed attentive, but did not notice it.

…………

…………

Portugal Second is the third level of the Portuguese league, divided into three groups by region, namely North, Central and South.

It is also a method of play adopted by the Portuguese Football Association given the financial pressure of the lower-level leagues, but the pressure in the Southern Group is relatively high, as there are several teams from the Madeira Islands, west of the African continent.

The Portuguese Athletics club won the home game in the second half, and the opponent was Loletano, who snatched all three points in the first half.

The team hails from the town of Rollei on the southern coast of Portugal and has a very long history. Supported by the two major cities of Rollei and Faro, Loletano has a strong financial resource. It is one of the few professional teams in the Portuguese League The aim this season is to influence Portugal.

Of course this team still survives in second place Portuguese so far, seen from the goals that have not been achieved.

But as a full professional team, his strength is not bad.

……

It is the first home stadium in the new season, and arena fans are still very popular.

It has 8,000 seats, plus standing tickets, a total capacity of up to 15,000 people at home, with a total of over 3,000 fans.

They were all seated in the stands on both sides, but of a certain size.

Don't dislike, according to team statistics, this kind of presence is already very high.

For competitions where the average ticket price is around one euro, the average number of fans per game is around one thousand.

In other words, these are known as the three main revenue channels of European clubs, match days, broadcast and business operations costs, and all competitions are completely missed. And just relying on income of over 1,000 euros per game is simply not enough to feed the ball. From tim.

Therefore, sports clubs will need to open more side businesses, including training courses, or contract some training ventures from the government, and the government will also provide appropriate financial support and various subsidies, he said, such as stadium maintenance costs and so on.

And this was why Gorba suddenly appreciated Su Dong so much after the appraisal.

If Su Dong played well and sold him to a big team, he could get a five-figure or even six-figure transfer fee every minute.

It is basically impossible for a team like JJJ to resist this temptation.

So, Su Dong was included in the competition list naturally.

He's getting better and better in training, and Matello has a high evaluation of him, but he's still sitting on the bench in this game.

“Consider your opponents, I hope you can perform well after playing.” Antonio Pereira cheered.

Su Dong nodded in silence.

……

Loletano leads in tee off.

Even before the game, Athletic Club players satirize the team in the dressing room and made it through to the league year after year, but from the other side, the strength of this team is good, that is to have enough confidence and confidence to hit.

As expected, at the beginning of the match, Loletano took advantage of the situation.

Although the Athletics Club struggled at home, he took a defensive position on the scene.

But even so, Loletano is still often attacked up to an area of 30 meters, even near the forbidden area.

Matello's long-standing captain role comes into play at the moment, in addition to standing in front of the competition's goal, he also actively directs his teammates to defend and instructs the team's defensive line to move.

Looking at Matello, who was like the commander-in-chief in the field, and then at Antonio Pereira, who was like an old monk on the sidelines, Su Dong finally understood why everyone believed that Matello would replace Pereira.

Is a third level team, when the defensive line is stable, it is difficult for Loletano to create a threat.

Su Dong also started to care about the opponent's defensive line.

The two opposing team defenders were slightly taller than Su Dong. One of them is over 1.9 meters high. Both of them were clearly stronger than Su Dong. Seeing them running and kicking, Su Dong guessed it. If it was still fighting against them, it would definitely not work.

Their speed was too slow and they were not flexible enough, so they had to run more, but the frontrunner in the competition was like a stubborn donkey, trying to compete directly with each other, needless to say, he suffered and ate.

Maybe not because he has veins, UU reads www.uukanshu.com, but he can only do this.

Su Dong suddenly realized at this moment that the overall situation was very important.

……

"Hey, Sue, why did they tell you to sit here?"

Suddenly a familiar scream was heard behind him.

Su Dong stood up from the bench, turned his head and looked around, and found Ronnie and Jose Semedo sitting in the stands behind him, smiling a thief at him.

“Why are you here?” Su Dong was very surprised and walked over.

"Find the reason and ask permission." Ronnie said nonchalantly, "That's you, why don't you play? That guy plays a lot worse than you, and he can't even hold the ball."

In the end, Ronnie felt disgusted.

Although he disliked Su Dong every day, it was a dislike among friends, but in his heart, Su Dong had made great progress, far better than the attackers in the competition. The head coach did not allow Su Dong to play. It's pure talent.

“The coach asked me to make an observation first, and it is expected to happen in the second half,” replied Su Dong.

"What to observe? Those two people are stronger than you, but they are awkward, slow, and inflexible. You just kick them like Jose."

Jose Semedo at the side was not happy.

No, brother, what do you mean by that?

How do the two of them compare to me?

Also, let alone I seem easy to deal with, okay?

Even though I am not your opponent, I shouldn't have hurt me like this.

"Su, hurry up and talk to your coach, go up and kill them both."

Semedo did not dare to get angry at Ronnie, so he could only vent his complaints to the two unfortunate centre-backs in Loletano.
