SYSTEM: I Want to Be the King of Football

chapter 23

At the weekend, the Tapatinia Stadium.

In the fourth round of Portugal's group, Atletico Portugal will sit at home against strong opponents Olhanessen.

The team is from Olhao, a southern port city. It belongs to Faro districts such as Faro and Rollei. Like the rich and powerful Rollei, this team is also a team of professionals committed to reaching the top.

But unlike Rollei, Olhanesson's youth training has been excellent and he has established satellite club links with Porto, Benfica and Sporting at the same time, that allowed them to get a powerful blood transfusion from the top three teams.

Unlike Rolle's goals every year, Olhanesson has always been a Portuguese side, but was relegated last summer.

Facing such a strong team, the Athletic Club of Portugal had no way of doing so.

The opponent scored two goals in the first half and was very passive on the scene, early in the second half, the opponent scored again.

Zero third, the Portuguese Athletics Club does not even have the ability to fight.

It was also the game that Su Dong experienced the most and the distance between strength and weakness was the greatest.

Portuguese Athletic Club is like a soft persimmon, let the opponent knead at will.

Even Matello's solid goalkeeper in the first three halves was helpless this time around.

Coach Pereira replaced Su Dong in the 65th minute of the second half.

……

Su Dong's surrogate appearance did not change the difference in strength between the two sides.

But in the 73rd minute, he shocked his opponent, and at the same time everyone on the scene could not help but applaud him.

It was a pass from midfielder Canelas, who was sent right behind two Olhanesson centre-backs.

Su Dong lagged behind the opponent's centre-back, but suddenly started, late serve came first, passing between the two centre-backs at a faster pace, stop the pass in the penalty area first, and lean towards the opponent's centre-back with his body. The right leg immediately pulled out the leg and shot furiously.

This kick is quick and sudden, but the opposing goalkeeper swoops to the side and blocks the ball with one hand.

After a brilliant shot, the brilliant fly saves the danger.

After Olhanesen's goal lifted off the ground, he shouted to the two centre-back teammates. Obviously, Su Dong's angry shot just now caused him considerable danger and almost scored a goal.

……

"This scene just now, has it been filmed?"

Benfica scout Abel Silva asked carefully to the colleague next to him, who was holding a small video camera.

"I took it, I almost missed it. The activation speed is very fast."

Abel Silva nodded, who would say no?

Looking at that height, it should be over 1.5 meters, he didn't look too strong, but he could lean on the opposing centre-back with his body. It proved that his strength was fine. The key is its speed and explosive power.

It rarely has such height and speed.

More importantly, seeing him catch and pass the ball a couple of times, he is very concise, and his leg ability is also very good.

With technology, speed, and body, such a center was even rarer.

“Atletics Portugal has found a treasure!” Abel Silvazan.

……

At the end of the game, he again took advantage of the opportunity.

This time a diagonal pass from the left, Su Dong turned his back on the attacking direction and used his speed to forcibly get rid of the opposing centre-back.

Centre-back Olhanesson used both hands and feet completely to try to hold Su Dong back, but he failed to do so.

However, Su Dong also experienced a delay for his best time.After catching the ball, another central defender was already in front of him.

Under the front and back attacks, Su Dong was not a coward. After a sudden stop, he suddenly accelerates and throws the ball past the opponent's centre-back at high speed. Outside the penalty area arc, he exploded again with his right foot and fired a powerful long-range shot.

This time his shot was clearly less threatening than the angry shot in the penalty area just now, and he was immediately thrown into his arms by the opposing goalkeeper.

Despite failing to score, Su Dong's attack again received applause from the crowd.

The supporters of the Portuguese Athletics Club can naturally see clearly.After Su Dong enters the field, two consecutive shots can be said to be the most threatening shot in the Athletics Club game.

In addition, competition will be passive.

……

"He's Su Dong!"

In the main stands of the stadium, among the fans of the arena, there was a middle-aged Portuguese in a suit and leather shoes looking at the stadium. Su Dong, who got lost and walked back, smiled in admiration.

“For a 17-year-old player, he is indeed very capable.” A friend in casual clothes beside him nodded with a smile.

The eyes of the middle-aged Portuguese had always focused on Su Dong, "Do you think Ronnie's statement is worth accepting?"

"It's a fact that I scored three goals in the previous two games. Even though I didn't score in this game, I was able to shoot those two shots against the stronger Olhanesson, which showed that my strength was not weak. The characteristics of the ball are very similar to the Battle God Batistuta. "

"So ..." The middle-aged Portuguese looked at his friend suspiciously.

"Maybe Ronnie's right. He's a buried genius, but it just so happens to be discovered by the Portuguese Athletic Association."

"In less than three months, his strength had increased tremendously, which was truly something to look forward to." The middle-aged Portuguese laughed.

Seeing that the game time was about to arrive, he also exhaled heavily.

I'm used to watching top-level competition in the Portuguese Super League, and then watching a low-level league with this poor level of competition torment anyone, and I felt aggrieved for too many passes and accepted the error.

"Let's go, the game's over, let's talk to him."

…………

…………

The match ended in a home defeat of zero to three by the Portuguese Athletics Club.

Su Dong who scored two consecutive rounds failed to score again in this game, but his two-foot shot still left a deep impression, the fans who were at the location were also satisfied with his performance.

After all, the crushing defeat was due to the fact that the overall strength of the Portuguese Athletics Club was much worse than his opponent.

This was the defeat of the first official game Su Dong, and it was inevitable that I felt somewhat depressed.

Especially lately, I played relatively smoothly, but this game is closely guarded by opponents, I have not been able to display my strength normally and my mood is bad.

Back in the dressing room with his team-mates. After bathing and changing her clothes, Su Dong took off the sandbag he had removed before the match and then walked out of the changing room.

The Tapatinia Stadium is now empty.

……

"Hello, Su, can you give me some time, can we talk?"

A strange sound suddenly came from behind.

Su Dong turned his head, only to find two middle-aged Portuguese chasing after him.

One was a little shorter, about 1.7 metres tall, with a suit and leather shoes, dressed up like in a downtown working in a big company; the other with sportswear, which was more casual.

"You are ..." Su Dong frowned.

"My name is Jorge Mendes. I am a registered agent of the Portuguese Football Association and FIFA." The middle-aged man in a suit and the leather shoes introduced himself with a smile. After speaking, he pointed to himself. Friends beside me.

"This is my partner, Jorge Manuel."

Su Dong's brows were still not open, as he did not know these two people.

Mendes felt Su Dong's alertness, he knew it, smiled and added: "We are Ronnie's friends."

Su Dong would understand now.

Ronnie had previously said that he would change his agent, but he did not tell him who it was, He was probably the two people in front of him.

“Halo, Mr. Mendes.” Su Dong took the initiative to extend his hand.

Mendes hurriedly held onto it, smiled and sent out an invitation, "My car is there. Let's find a quiet place to talk?"

"of course you can."

The three men took a car from the parking lot opposite the stadium and drove towards the Belem Tower.

Jorge Manuel was in charge of driving the car, while Jorge Mendes sat in the back row with Su Dong and took the initiative to talk to him about his career so far.

In Portuguese football at the moment, Mendes is not a big man.

Previously, he was more of a partner at the well-known Brazilian broker Feigel. It's a better way to say it. The bad way to say it was that he was more helpful to Feigel running the business.

Everyone knows that the Portuguese Super League is a popular place for Brazilian players to land in Europe ~As the world's leading football agent, the, Figel sends many Brazilian and South American players to the Portuguese Super League every year. Back then, one needed to help him deal with a business and provide various services to the players at the same time.

Mendes is one of them.

But now he was trying to get rid of Figel, wanting to go out and do it himself.

His first goal was at Sporting Lisbon, as the youth academy of the team has had a high level of success of late and his player standards are pretty good, except for first-team players like Quaresma and Edgar Marcelino. In addition to the talented players, the youth teams of Cristiano Ronaldo, Hugo Viana and Jose Wonte are also quite good.

Although he had only met Mendes for the first time, the Portuguese agent had a pretty good impression on Su Dong, and from his words, Su Dong could vaguely guess the blueprint the other party had drawn.

For famous stars like Figo, Simao and Quaresma, Mendes did not have the strength to compete with Jose Vega, so he took another approach, which was to rob Jose Vega. For a while, he could not keep the young players with great potential. He wants to unlock a breakthrough from this group of players.

“I am not afraid to say frankly, I have signed Hugo Viana and I am currently actively in touch with a Premier League team. I also have a partner there. What I want to do right now is help. Viana entered the first team, it is best to play in the game and show a good performance, then I will have a way to take him to the Premier League. "

"Not only the Premier League, but also in Serie A, La Liga and the Bundesliga, I have a good partner. As long as I have the power, I can take players to any team in the top league."

Mendes looked very confident and persuasive when he said this.
