I Want to Be the King of Football

　　He is a man with a story!

　　 Su Dong looked at Pepe silently, thinking to himself.

　　After getting along, he felt that Pepe under the court is actually a very good peer.

　　 At least, his character is far less disgusting than what he showed on the court.

　　 "Can you tell me about your hometown?" Su Dong broke the silence and asked softly.

"my hometown?"

　　 Peipei looked at Su Dong strangely, wondering why he was interested in his hometown.

　　 "Yes, I am interested in everything from the football kingdom." Su Dong said with interest.

Pepe shook his head and smiled bitterly: "My hometown is not as interesting as football. It is the most economically backward area in Brazil. It is in the northeast, called Maceió. By the way, Rivaldo, who plays for Barcelona, ​​also comes from Here."

　　 After a pause, Pepe seemed to be searching for his own memories in his mind, but soon, he smiled bitterly again.

　　 "Actually, to tell you, I don't know much about it."

　　 "Why?" Su Dong was very strange.

　　 "I left my hometown when I was twelve years old and went south to play in Corinthians, São Paulo."

　　 is twelve years old again.

　　 Su Dong couldn't help turning his head and glanced at the tent behind him. Ronnie also left Madeira at the age of twelve and went to Lisbon to receive the training of the Green Lions.

　　 This seems like an age node in the youth training system.

　　 "In my memory, Maceió, like other Brazilian cities, has charming beaches. There are many five-star hotels and hot girls in bikinis on the beach."

　　 At this point, Peipei's conversation turned, "But those don't belong to us."

　　 "It's like the mountains and the bottom of Madeira Island. Can you understand the difference?" Peppa asked with concern.

　　 Su Dong shook his head, he still couldn't understand.

"The mountains on Madeira are all villages like Falcao. They are like slums. Although there are government-built houses, the residents drink and even drugs. Fortunately, they live in Maceió, my hometown. There are many gangs in the slums over there. They fight all day long. In my memory, gunshots can be heard almost every day."

　　 Su Dong can't imagine that kind of childhood, but he absolutely believes that it must be a nightmare that will be hard to let go of all his life.

"You know, in Brazil, reading is actually a very extravagant thing. We kids like to play football, and we only allow us to play football at home. I often skip classes, jump over the fence and leave school, and go to the street to compare with those who are better than me. Five or six-year-old kids play football and play against them. I have to make myself stronger."

"In the beginning, I played in the community team. They taught me how to play and how to play. Then gradually, I performed well. At the age of twelve, there was a ball from Corinthians from São Paulo in the south. The team fell in love with me."

"You may not know it. In fact, this is a very glorious thing on our side. My friends even beat the gongs and drums to celebrate, because they think I might become the first professional player beside them. In the future, he may even be selected for the national team and become a superstar."

　　 When Su Dong heard this, he had a faint feeling. It should be like a situation where a kid from someone in China was admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, and the whole village beat gongs and drums to send him to school.

"In Corinthians, I found that I am actually not good at all. They have countless children like me from all over Brazil. We play and compete together. Compared with them, I am so ordinary. ."

At this time, Pepe changed the conversation again and smiled proudly: "But you know what? Su, the people of Maceió in the northeast have one characteristic, that is, hard work and hard work. There is a saying in our hometown, only Only those who endure hardship can get the favor of the **** of destiny."

"My parents have been educating me this way since I was young, and I have incorporated it into my blood, so I am very diligent, practicing non-stop every day, resting when I'm tired, and continuing to practice when I'm resting. Day and night."

　　 Su Dong has also experienced such a day, and even now is still experiencing it, so he understands.

“Last summer, Maritimo’s scouts were selected in Brazil. They didn’t have much money. They only had one requirement for the players, that is, they were young and cheap. It’s better not to have a transfer fee. The salary subsidy they gave was pitiful. Can promise to give a hope, a hope to play in Portugal."

"Deco, currently playing in Porto, is the eldest brother in our Corinthians youth academy. He came to the Portuguese Super League in the same way, and there are many players coming out this way every year, and some mix well. , Like Deco, some won’t work. I went back soon.”

　　 Peipei talked about these past events, as if to say something very natural, isn’t it the survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest?

　　 I heard from Su Dong, this is still somewhat cruel.

　　 "I happened to have no contract with Corinthians at the time, and they thought I was in good health, so I came to Maritimo and followed them to train seriously and learn how to play in European football."

"I don’t have the skill of others, and I’m not as good as Deco. I’m stupid and my brain turns slowly. My only advantage is that my body is stronger. So they told me that if you want to stay, you have to show yourself. His strengths allow everyone to see his own advantages, so I have to do my best every time I play, because I don’t know that after this one is finished, there will be no next one."

　　 When Su Dong heard this, he suddenly felt that he might have misunderstood Pepe.

　　 Of course, it's not that Pepe on the court is not annoying, but Pepe under the court is the real Pepe.

　　He on the court is just a tool that struggles to survive and gain a foothold.

　　 "Where is your family?" Su Dong asked.

Pepe smiled, “Actually, I’m better than Ronnie. My father doesn’t drink alcohol and no one at home takes drugs, but our family is very poor. They are waiting for me to send money back every month. So, I have to I have to stay because I don’t know. If I am forced to return to Brazil, how will my family and I continue to live?"

　　 At the end, Pepe looked worried and sad.

　　 He doesn't have a skill, he can only play football.

　　If he can't play football, what else can he do?

　　 "Maritimo still didn't notify you to renew the contract?" Su Dong asked concerned.

　　 This is why Peipei wants to work part-time.

　　Pepe shook her head, "I heard that they are considering whether it is possible to sell us?"

　　 "What do you mean?"

"It's very simple. I came here for free last year, and the salary they gave me was pitifully small. If I sell me now, even if the transfer fee is only a few hundred thousand euros, they have picked up the money for nothing. "

　　 Su Dong understood, "Then what if it can't be sold?"

Peipei smiled bitterly, "Then renew the contract. I can only accept how much they will give at that time. Otherwise, what else can I do? Here, at least there are games to play, and when you are done, you will be famous. Only then will there be a bargaining chip, right?"

　　 This is the most realistic professional football.

　　 There is no mercy, no tenderness, but all kinds of profit calculations.

"Actually, you don't need to feel sorry for me, really." Peipei smiled freely, "Most of the people who came out with me only stayed for two months, and the longest is only half a year. I am considered lucky. , Not only stayed, but also played a few games."

　　 Su Dong was also amused by him. If that is the case, then Pepe is indeed lucky.

　　 Suddenly, Pepe took a deep breath, stood up, walked forward, and came to the guardrail of the observation deck, looking at Funchal in the south, as if he had exhausted all his strength and shouted.

　　 The echo lingered for a long time.

"Don't worry, Sue, we Maceió have never been defeated so easily. I will continue to persist until the day I achieve success, because I always know that playing football is not only for my love of football, but also for Let my family no longer be poor!"

　　 Su Dong came to him, listening to his sonorous voice, it seemed as if he was speaking to Su Dong, but it seemed to be speaking to himself and encouraging himself.

　　 "Trust me, Pepe, you are a player with great strength and potential. You will be successful."

　　 Su Dong’s words are not false.

He has competed with Pepe on the court and practiced in private. It is not easy to determine how strong he is. However, based on the feedback from the Road to the King’s system, the system gave 500 penalties for each matchup between Su Dong and Pepe. The reward of the king value is quite high~www.wuxiahere.com~ Based on this, it can be predicted that Pepe's strength and potential are definitely not simple.

After hearing this, Pepe turned back to look at Xiang Su Dong, grinned, and laughed, "So are you, Su, you and Ronnie are younger than me, but both have played in Sporting Lisbon and performed well. You are more promising than me, and more importantly, you work harder than me, and you will surely succeed!"

"Then wait until the future, we are all successful, you invite us to go back to your hometown, stay in those five-star hotels, soak up those hot beauties on the beach, and eat your best Brazilian food." Su The host suggested.

　　 "No problem." Peipei readily agreed, "However, it is estimated that you will succeed one step earlier than me. You should go to China first."

　　 Su Dong laughed and nodded.

　　 He felt that he was more fortunate than Ronnie and Pepe.

　　 At least he can study in the country, he didn't live in the slums where he struggled all day, and he didn't have the messy things in his childhood, which made him feel a sense of warmth.

　　 For the first time, he felt proud and proud of his motherland from the heart!

　　 The next morning, the three of them watched the sunrise from the highest peak, and then went down the mountain after having breakfast in a nearby hotel.

　　 When they reached Santana, the three of them walked west along the north coast, south from San Vicente, and entered the mountain again.

When 　　 arrived in Tabua, it was a little early, so the three of them did not take the car, and continued to walk east for eleven rounds.

　　 When they returned to Funchal, Nuno Cruz also came back from Lisbon.

　　 After listening to the experience of the three, the personal trainer was speechless.

　　 "It's really three lunatics!"
