SYSTEM: I Want to Be the King of Football

chapter 39

Maybe because he had just been in the break area of the second team, Su Dong really liked the first team dressing room.

That is depression.

The resting place of the second team is lively jumping in, players gather in groups, chatting about various topics, Jose Semedo and the others can talk excitedly, even saying that magic laughter YD.

But none of this can be seen in the first-team dressing room.

Everyone sits in front of their closet, packing their own things, or sitting there listening to headphones, or doing nothing, closing their eyes and taking a break, and some just look around and see other people.

The only thing is no one is talking.

The feeling was very strange, as if this group of people was not a team at all, but like strangers who did not know each other.

Su Dong stepped into this dressing room for the first time. To him, all these players made him stand tall, and his heart was filled with excitement. At the same time, he was a little nervous. Seeing that others were not talking, he had nothing. He said, approaching Ronnie.

As soon as he got closer, he discovered that the Madeira boy was not improving, and he was also nervous.

The two young people who had just arrived and were both nervous and at a loss as to what to do, after looking at each other, they both smiled bitterly.

"Hi, Ronnie."

Someone finally broke the silence and walked over to greet Ronny gently.

"Hey, Ugo." Ronnie patted his shoulder after a tos to the opponent, "This is our new teammate, Su Dong."

"Su, this is Ugo Viana."

Of course Su Dong had heard about him, Mendes' most potential player now, as well as the talented midfielder Mendes valued most now. Known as Rui Costa II, he has been cornering and overtaking since October. Passed Quaresma and became the number one genius on the Sporting Lisbon team.

Perhaps because they were all Mendes players, Hugo Viana was also very friendly with Su Dong. After doing her tos and shoulders, she sat down between Su Dong and Ronnie.

“Why doesn't everyone talk?” Su Dong asked strangely.

Ugo Viana smiled, "Indeed always this way, you will slowly get used to it."

After a pause, seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of Su Dong and Ronnie, Ugo Viana smiled and explained.

"The "junior team and the first team are two completely different worlds. Although the youth team has some competitive pressure, it's not too big, but when it comes to the first team, it's different. Everyone here has some kind of worry, their heart, and they're fine. My future is full of worries, because no one knows what he will do in the next game? No one can guarantee what will happen next. "

Su Dong nodded, a hint of understanding in his heart.

This kind of existential crisis did indeed keep everyone on their toes at all times and did not dare to care at all times.

Like Quaresma.

In the first game of the season against Porto, the player shone and was touted as the number one genius at Sporting Lisbon, Portugal's hopes for the next ten years, and then he was reused by the club.

But who would have thought after a few rounds, he could still only wander between the main style and the round.

Even more unexpectedly, since October, the junior-promoted Ugo Viana occupied the first position of the team's midfield in one fell swoop, and became the number one star of hope in the starter team.

There are many reasons for all this, not only the opposing factor, but also the team's own reasons, and the head coach's desire to change.

Who can think of this clearly? Who could have predicted it?

The survival crisis can easily make people anxious, but it also leaves everyone unnerved.

Just with a sense of amazement, I will do my best in every game and every training session.

Beyond that, they have no other intention of doing unnecessary and meaningless things, including small talk in the dressing room.

Su Dong had not been able to feel the pressure from the first-team competition for now, but he had already seen it.

…………

…………

The composition of the Sporting Lisbon core team is actually very interesting.

Including Su Dong, there were a total of 30 players.

These players are mostly divided into two parts, both adult players aged around 30 years or more, such as 28-year-old Jadel, and Sa Pinto, who is 29 years old, respectively, even veterans of Ba Bosa and Cruise and so on.

They all have the same traits, they all have experience in the top four leagues. Either they retire, or they run into various problems and are up for grabs. However, in the Portuguese Super League, these players are still quite strong.

There are also some players who are young players, such as Quaresma, Marcelino, Viana, Ronnie and so on.

These players could be their own young coaches, or they are rookies with high expectations, such as fellow head coach Bologna, 20-year-old Romanian midfielder Nicule, he is a goalscorer who was introduced strongly by Bologna.

It can be said that these two halves of players almost occupied most of the ranks, there were only a handful of players who were actually around twenty-five years old and in the golden age of their careers.

What attracted Sudong's attention was the introduction of a high central attacker during the winter break. 25-year-old midfielder Dimitris Nalits of Greece was first moved from Thessaloniki, Greece in July. Udinese, who will be in Serie A, moved to Perugia in October and moved to Sporting Lisbon during the winter break.

In just a few months, he has moved to three teams.

During Serie A, he played only three matches, including two league matches and one cup match.

Anyone can tell that this is because Boloni is not satisfied with the attacking configuration of the team. Both Gisvey and Lawrence are still relatively young, so they have signed Nalizis, who is in his prime, as a substitute for Gadel and Nicolet.

It's not hard to see from Sporting Lisbon's first-team configuration that this team is still the same as the other teams in the Portuguese Super League.

The reason why he did not have a backbone in his time was because the better performing backbone was sold.

This is the current situation of the Portuguese Super League.

Sporting Portugal will not be able to keep its players, and Sporting Lisbon will not be able to keep it either.

Of course, the premise is that the players have to perform pretty well.

……

Captain Barbosa broke the silence in the dressing room.

He introduced three new teammates who had just joined to everyone present.Sudong, Ronnie and Nalezis stood up and greeted the teammates one by one under the name of the captain, but very few responded.

The more people looked at them carefully in their eyes, clearly worrying about competition.

Like Marcelino.

The player who also has African descent is a prestigious player in the youth team.He is also known as the Three Musketeers of Sports Tower with Quaresma and Ronnie, but after entering the first team, his development was much worse than Quaresma., and was even overtaken by Viana.

So far, he hasn't played for the first team for even a minute.

This is another sad story.

“I heard that his performance in the first team was very bad.” Ronnie leaned into Su Dong's ears and said softly.

Su Dong frowned, "Why?"

“I heard it doesn't match, who knows?” Ronnie shrugged.

Marcelino's form in the youth team was no worse than Quaresma, but after entering the first team, the two were quite different.

It's very confusing.

Most of the adult players, including top players in teams like Jarder, looked at Su Dong and the others with cold eyes. It felt like they were not looking at their teammates at all, but like standing on the street and watching people passing by - by.

Su Dong understood that in their eyes, he had not been recognized by them, and he was not qualified to be their teammate.

Each of them must be wondering how long these new people can stay?

This is not only for the players, but also for the Boloni coach.

Unlike the second team coach Jean James who specifically accepted Su Dong and had a long conversation, Boloni's first team coach did not have time to talk to three people Su Dong. He just went to the sidelines before training started. Conversation with .

The content of the conversation is very simple, even perfunctory.

Boloni encouraged Sudong, Ronnie, and Naliqis to work hard to increase their own strength and show their best conditions in training.

"I'll watch your performance in training, and arrange for you to play at the right time and in the right match. I hope you can show a satisfactory performance at that time."

Su Dong could not help but nod, but the truth is ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ he knew very well in his heart that he said this was equivalent to not saying it.

Boloni will not give them an easy chance, like Marcelino.

The player entered the first team at the start of the season, but so far he has not played a single minute.

Also short of chances were Gisvey and Lawrence, but Nicule, the Romanian midfielder who was the focus of Bologna's introduction, was always reused and trusted by Bologna.

Even if Nicolai's performance isn't as good as Jardel's.

Boloni was careless, and the three of them didn't care much either.

After the cutscene conversation, the head coach introduces the three people, Su and Dong, through his pre-training speech, and hopes everyone can help them and work hard to help them integrate into the team.

The response is still very little.

Su Dong and Ronnie did not care either.

The two looked at each other, and they all saw disobedience and stubbornness in each other's eyes.

There is never indifference and a cold look around them, but they always prove themselves with performance.

It was the same before, and now it's the same.

So, they performed really hard in the next training.

Early in the warm-up period and recovery practice, they can keep up with the big teams, which makes them think that first-team training seems like nothing.

When actually entering a high-intensity workout, the two felt tremendous pressure, let alone upon entering the team's training, they simply could not keep up with the rhythm.

Body, technology, consciousness ...

All cannot follow.

...^^^Su Dong felt like he had returned to a bad situation when he first participated in the training of the Portuguese Athletics Club, even worse than before.^^^...
