I Want to Be the King of Football

Chapter 39: This is a sad story

   Perhaps it was because of having just been to the second team's rest area, Su Dong had a particularly strong feeling for the first team's locker room.

   That is depression.

The rest area of ​​the second team was as lively as jumping di. The players gathered in groups and chatted on various topics. Jose Semedo and others were able to talk vigorously, and even said that YD's magical laughter.

   But all of this can't be seen in the locker room of the first team.

   Everyone is sitting in front of their cabinet, packing their own things, or sitting there listening to headphones, or doing nothing, closing their eyes and resting, and some simply just look around and look at other people.

   The only thing is that no one speaks.

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

Su Dong stepped into this locker room for the first time. For him, all these players made him stand up high, and his heart was full of excitement. At the same time, he was a little nervous. Seeing other people not talking, he didn't have anything. Said, got closer to Ronnie.

  As soon as he approached, he found that the Madeira boy was not getting better, and he was also nervous.

   Two young people who had just arrived and were equally nervous and at a loss 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 softly.

   "Hey, Ugo." Ronnie slapped his shoulder after high-fiving the opponent, "This is our new teammate, Su Dong."

   "Su, this is Ugo Viana."

Of course Su Dong has heard of him, Mendes’s most potential player now, is also the talented midfielder that Mendes values ​​most now. Known as Rui Costa II, he has been cornering and overtaking since October. Passed Quaresma and became the number one genius in the Sporting Lisbon team.

   Perhaps because they were all Mendes’s players, Hugo Viana was also very friendly to Su Dong. After high-fiving and bumping his shoulders, he sat down between Su Dong and Ronnie.

   "Why don't everyone talk?" Su Dong asked strangely.

  Ugo Viana smiled, "It's always been like this, slowly, you will get used to it."

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

"The youth team and the first team are two completely different worlds. Although the youth team has some competitive pressure, it is not that big, but when it comes to the first team, it is different. Everyone here has a kind of worry in their hearts, and they are all right. My future is full of worries, because no one knows what he will behave in the next game? No one can guarantee what will happen next."

   Su Dong nodded, a little understanding in his heart.

   This kind of existential crisis does make everyone stay vigilant at all times and dare not care about it at any time.

   is like Quaresma.

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

   But who would have thought that after a few rounds, he can still only wander between the main force and the rotation.

What is even more unexpected is that since October, Ugo Viana, who was promoted by the youth team, occupied the main position of the team's midfield in one fell swoop, and became the number one star of hope in the team. Take control of the starter.

   There are many reasons for all of this, not only the opponent's factors, but also the team's own reasons, and the head coach's desire for change.

  Who can think of this clearly? Who can predict it?

   Survival crisis can easily make people anxious, but it also keeps everyone in awe.

  Only with awe, will I do my best in every game and every training session.

   Outside of this, they have no other intentions to do any unnecessary and meaningless things, including small talk in the locker room.

   Su Dong hasn't been able to feel the pressure from the first team competition for the time being, but he has already seen some.

  …………

  …………

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

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

These players are mainly divided into two parts, either mature players around 30 years of age or older, such as Jadel, who is already 28 years old, and Sa Pinto, who is 29 years old, and more veteran players. Bosa and Cruise and so on.

   They all have a common feature. They all have experience in the four major leagues. Either they retired, or they encountered various problems and were contested. 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 are either their own youth training or rookies with high expectations, such as the coach of Bologna's fellow, the 20-year-old Romanian center Nicule, he is the scorer that Bologna strongly introduced.

   It can be said that these two players almost accounted for the vast majority of the lineup. There are only a handful of players who are really around twenty-five years old and in the golden age of their careers.

What caught Sudong’s attention was the introduction of a high center forward during the winter break. The 25-year-old center Dimitris Nalits from Greece was first transferred 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 only played three games, including two league games and one cup game.

Anyone can tell that this is because Boloni is not satisfied with the team’s striker configuration. Both Gisvey and Lawrence are still relatively young, so they have brought in Narizis, who was in his prime, as a player for Gadel and Nicolet's substitute.

   And Su Dong noticed him not only because he is one of the few players in the team, but also because this will be one of his competitors, even for the time being, he is far from seeing the hope of the first team.

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

  The reason why he lacked the backbone of his time is because the backbones that performed better were sold.

   This is the current situation of the Portuguese Super League.

   Sporting Portugal will not be able to retain players, and Sporting Lisbon will not be able to retain either.

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

  ……

   Captain Barbosa broke the silence in the locker room.

   He introduced the 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 there were very few responders.

   More people look at them with caution in their eyes, obviously worrying about competition.

   such as Marcelino.

This player, who is also of 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. However, after entering the first team, his development is far worse than Quaresma. , And was even followed by Viana.

   So far, he has not played for the first team for even a minute.

   This is another very sad story.

   "I heard that his performance in the first team was terrible." Ronnie leaned to Su Dong's ear and said softly.

   Su Dong frowned, "Why?"

   "I heard that it's unsuitable, who knows?" Ronnie shrugged.

   Marcelino's performance in the youth team is not worse than Quaresma, but after entering the first team, the two are quite different.

   This is really puzzling.

   The vast majority of adult players, including the top players in the team such as Jarder, look at Su Dong and others coldly. It feels like they are not looking at their teammates at all, but like standing on the street and watching passers-by.

   Su Dong understands that in their eyes, he has not yet been recognized by them, and he is not qualified to be their teammate.

   Each of them should be wondering how long these new guys can stay?

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

Unlike the second team coach Jean James who specially received Su Dong and had a long conversation, the first team coach Boloni didn’t have time to talk to Su Dong three people. He simply went on the sidelines before the training began. Had a conversation.

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

   Boloni encourages Sudong, Ronnie and Naliqis to work hard to improve their own strength and to show their best state in training.

   "I will pay close attention to your performance in training, and arrange for you to play at the right time and in the right game. I hope you can show a satisfactory performance by then."

   Su Dong couldn't help but nodded, but in fact ~www.wuxiahere.com~ he knew very well in his heart that he said this is equivalent to not saying it.

   Boloni will not give them a chance easily, just like Marcelino.

   This player entered the first team at the beginning of the season, but so far, he hasn't even played for a minute.

   Also lacking opportunities are Gisvey and Lawrence, but Nicule, the Romanian center is the focus of Bologna's introduction of fellow, has always been reused and trusted by Bologna.

   Even if Nicolai's performance is not as good as that of Jadel.

   Bologna was perfunctory, and the three of them didn't care too much either.

   After the cutscene talk, the head coach introduced the three people, Su and Dong, through his pre-training speech, and hoped that everyone could help them and work hard to help them integrate into the team.

   The response is still very few.

   Su Dong and Ronnie didn't care about it either.

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

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

   It was the same before, and it is the same now.

   So, they performed very hard in the subsequent training.

   At the beginning of the warm-up and recovery training, they can keep up with the big team, which makes them think that the training of the first team seems to be nothing.

   When they really entered the high-intensity training, the two felt tremendous pressure, especially when they entered the team training, they couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.

  Body, technology, consciousness...

   Everything can't keep up.

   Su Dong feels like he has returned to the bad situation when he first participated in the training of the Portuguese Athletic Club, even worse than it was then.
