I Want to Be the King of Football

"Su, here!"

When Su Dong walked into Barcelona’s Santalo Avenue, an inconspicuous Argentine restaurant named Quartz, Aimar stood up in the distance, raised his hand high, and called his name.

Su Dong was too high, especially conspicuous in the restaurant, raised his hand slightly to indicate that he saw it, and walked straight over.

"It's not easy to find here, right?" Aimar smiled and greeted Su Dong to sit down in the empty seat beside him.

"The location is OK. There are many restaurants and hotels here. The driver found it all at once. It's the specific location of the restaurant..."

Su Dong shook his head and sat down with a wry smile. It was really hard work to find an unremarkable Argentine restaurant in the street where restaurants from all over the world gathered in the busiest city center of Barcelona.

But anyway, I finally found a place.

...

This restaurant has been around for a few years. The tables, chairs and benches look a bit old, but the pure white tablecloths and the tableware placed on them are neat and tidy, which makes people feel very comfortable, but it has a very retro feeling.

A rectangular table for four, Su Dong and Aimar sit on one side, and a stranger sits on the opposite side.

I don’t look very old, I feel like an Argentine, because there are not many people who have long hair these days, especially if I mix with Aimar, I guess they’re pretty close.

What's more interesting is that this person's height is very close to Aimar, so that if three people sit together, Su Dong appears to stand out from the crowd. Aimar is especially pocket-sized.

Two dwarfs and a hunk!

Su Dong couldn't help but pop up such a picture in his mind, and it felt very funny.

"Sue, let me introduce you, Leo Messi, my little brother."

Aimar took the initiative to introduce his friends to Su Dong, and then pointed at Su Dong, "Leo, Su Dong."

"Hello!" Su Dong took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

"Hello!" Messi shook Su Dong's hand.

After the two shook hands courteously, the topic came to this restaurant.

"It's also the first time I've come here to eat. I heard Rio say that this is one of the best Argentine restaurants in Barcelona."

Messi nodded, "Yes, I often come here because it is only about three kilometers away from La Masia. It is very convenient to take a bus, and it is the first Argentine restaurant I found after coming to Barcelona."

Both Sudong and Aimar came at the same time, so Messi was naturally responsible for ordering.

Even though he is only sixteen years old, he is very familiar with this restaurant, and he has been living in Barcelona a few years earlier, so he is relatively independent.

Su Dong is not particularly particular about what he eats, and he does whatever he wants, just sneaking up to Aimar.

"Pablo, he is what you often mentioned, the little fan of Barcelona?" Su Dong muttered.

"He's the one in the Barcelona youth academy!" Aimar nodded and gave a thumbs up.

"But are you too stingy? How do you say that you are also our Valencia's first-tier salary, you let a youth team invite you to dinner?" Su Dong looked at Aimar with some "contempt".

Aimar chuckled, "It's not my idea. Messi took the initiative to invite me to dinner and call you by the way."

Seeing Su Dong frowning, Aimar knew in his heart that Su Dong is actually a very worthy friend, because he always considers others, even if this person is Messi the first time he meets.

"Don't worry, he just signed a new contract. The annual salary is pretty good, and the penalty is higher than yours."

"Really?" Su Dong didn't believe it, his penalty was as high as 120 million euros.

Can a Barcelona youth team’s penalty be higher than his own?

"His highest is 150 million euros."

"how can that be?"

"Isn't it?" Aimar laughed. He liked seeing Su Dong's deflated appearance, because in the football field, Su Dong was always prestigious and omnipotent. In private, I saw him suffer a bit. It is also a pleasure.

"Stepped liquidated damages, didn't you expect it?"

"How to say?" Su Dong was very curious, he really didn't expect it.

"He played for the youth team, and the penalty was 30 million euros, but if he was transferred to the second team of Barcelona, ​​the penalty would automatically be increased to 80 million euros. If he was promoted to the first team, the penalty would be doubled, reaching one Fifty million euros, is it more than you?"

After Su Dong listened to this, he turned his head and looked at the "child" in front of him who looked immature, but had the long hair of the iconic Argentine player. He was a little stunned. Is this much better for Barcelona?

You know, the higher the liquidated damages, the higher the salary will be.

In other words, according to this contract, if Messi enters the second team, his salary will automatically increase by one stop. If he enters the first team, his salary will increase again, and there is no need for contract negotiations at all.

"Barça is very optimistic about him?"

Aimar smiled proudly and nodded, "The contract is signed in 2012, what do you think?"

Nine-year contract!

Su Dong is an eye-opener.

Isn't this kid really a legendary super genius?

...

Messi heard the two people murmured, but he focused on ordering.

He ordered three of his favorite dishes for Su Dong and Aimar: Milanese veal, Empanadas burritos and Milanese Messi.

Milan Messi is his nickname for this dish, that is, the meat is dipped in eggs and breadcrumbs mixed with tomato sauce, and then baked in the oven with ham and cheese.

Empanadas burritos are a bit like fried dumplings, wrapped in lamb and cheese.

Frankly speaking, none of these three dishes seem to be very tasty, but Messi and Aimar ate them with relish. They admired them again and again, which made Su Dong wonder if they were eating the same dish?

"Why? Afraid of eating these things, when you go back, Nuno Cruise embarrassed you?" Aimar asked with a smile.

Su Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was not afraid, but he seldom touched these foods, especially such a big piece of roast beef. He knew it was difficult to digest.

More importantly, these foods did not meet his tastes and were not tasty at all.

The gluttonous food of Messi and Aimar made Su Dong feel hard to swallow.

But now that it is ordered, eat some politely.

While eating and chatting, the topic soon talked about the game that just passed.

Valencia relied on Su Dong’s goal to beat Barcelona 1-0. This gave the Bats a three-point advantage and topped La Coruña, and Real Madrid followed them with 13 points. Rear.

After six rounds of play, Barcelona currently only scored nine points, ranking eighth in La Liga.

This report card is really difficult to satisfy, and Rijkaard's coaching has also been questioned.

Before coaching Barcelona, ​​the legendary superstar's coaching resume was lacklustre.

"Now there are many problems within the club, including the youth team. My best friend left this summer and went to the Premier League."

Speaking of his future in Barcelona, ​​Messi seemed very worried.

Even Iniesta, a rookie in the first team who has already made an appearance in the first team, almost left the team this summer. It is conceivable that youth team players like Messi are pessimistic about the future, and that is natural.

"What are your plans?" Aimar asked concerned.

Messi curled his lips, "You know, they invested a lot to treat me, so I signed a long-term contract with them. It is impossible to leave. I am planning to find an opportunity next year or the next year. Let’s go out on loan, let’s play the game first."

He is only sixteen years old, and he will be only seventeen years old next summer.

"If possible at that time, I will tell Valencia that there is no one on our right."

Rufite and Angulo are both fierce players. This is true, but the two players are more diligent on the right. Compared with Vicente on the left, they still lack some flavor.

Messi smiled and didn't take the word. If there is a real need, he will definitely contact Aimar.

"By the way, Sue, you did so well in Sporting Lisbon. There should be many teams who want to sign you. Why did you go to Valencia?" Messi asked curiously.

Su Dong smiled.

Among the teams that were interested in him at the time, Valencia was indeed the most inconspicuous, even worse than Deportivo.

"I have studied carefully. Valencia is actually very strong. There are a lot of outstanding players here, but the striker is a little worse. I think I can fill this short board, so I am here."

After listening, Messi nodded, "Ricardo mentioned you to me."

"Oh?" Su Dong was curious.

Will Quaresma mention him in front of others?

"I feel he regrets joining Barcelona."

When talking about this, Messi's tone was obviously a little sad.

In this turbulent team, he sees no hope.

Many people did not see hope, so they chose to leave.

Su Dong can feel that Messi is also interested in the same, the difference is that there is a long-term agreement between him and Barcelona.

What disease did Barcelona treat him? Is it worth asking him to sign this nine-year long contract?

"Don't talk about it, you can practice in La Masia for another year with peace of mind, and wait until next summer. If you have the opportunity, I will help you figure out a solution, whether it is on loan or transfer, I will always help you find a kicker. The team that has the ball."

Aimar has been famous in European football and Argentina for many years, and he has a wide range of paths. He must be sure.

"By the way, Sue, in the future, if you run into a guy named Gerald Pique on the football field~www.wuxiaspot.com~Don't be merciful, help me teach him severely!" Messi Suddenly snorted and said with a smile.

"Why?" Su Dong and Aimar were both very curious.

"He bet me. He said that the two central defenders of Real Madrid were too useless, so you were beaten up by you. If it was him, he would definitely be able to crush you to death, and I think he can't do it, so We made a bet."

Su Dong and Aimar looked at each other, and they showed bitter smiles.

Su Dong himself did not expect that eating a meal would turn out to be a gambling game.

"Gerard Peak? Which team is from? I haven't heard of him."

"Still playing for La Masia's youth team, but he said that he wants to become the best central defender in the world. He is about the same height as you, and he was almost driven out of La Masia because of his height.

Su Dong smiled slightly and nodded: "Don't worry, Gerald Pique, I remember it! If you have a chance to meet on the court, I will help you beat him so hard that he can't recognize his father!"

"Thank you!" Messi smiled expectantly.
