i want to be king

Chapter 38

Although the Portuguese Super League's winter break is two weeks, in fact, the players' vacation is only one week.

Just after Christmas, the team ushered in the training camp immediately.

This week's training camp is crucial for all teams, because this is a rare time to recharge in the middle of the season.

For the Premier League, which has no winter break, it has been complaining about the difficult schedule.

On the morning when the team resumed training, the three of Su Dong and Ronnie arrived in Alcocheti in Pontes' car.

On the way, Pontes told Su Dong that he had been officially notified by the club, and that he and Nare would continue to be responsible for the intensive training of Su Dong and Ronnie, and they would focus on tracking their training.

This is definitely good news for Su Dong, who is unfamiliar with the place where he lived.

Ronnie also had a very good impression of this fellow from Madeira, so naturally he didn't object.

After arriving in Alcochetti, the four parted ways.

Ronnie and Semedo took Su Dong to wander around Alcochetti, because Su Dong didn't have time to take a good walk during the last medical examination, so that he couldn't tell which was the first team and which was the youth team.

Both the second team and the youth team train and compete in the north, while the south is the exclusive place for the first team. There is only a barbed wire fence between them, but it seems like two different worlds.

For example, Semedo, when he was in the second team and the youth team, he usually only needs to participate in training in the afternoon.

But it's different if you train with the first team. You have to have two training sessions a day.

The times are at 09:30 am and 04:30 pm respectively.

Although both Su Dong and Ronnie were arranged to train with the first team, the game was still in the second team, so they went directly to the second team and asked the head coach Jean James to report.

……

"Although you spend most of your time in the first team training, I will temporarily transfer you back to the second team during some important training sessions, such as some tactical drills and running-in training, which is very important."

As soon as Jean James met, he vaccinated Su Dong and Ronnie, two players who had been transferred to the first team.

After entering the first team, many players are very resistant to the training and competition of the second team or the youth team. This is also a normal phenomenon. People go to high places, and water flows to low places. It is a good thing for players to have ambitions.

But it is not a casual thing for young players to enter the first team lineup.

Even if he is as strong as Quaresma, he still occasionally returns to the second team to participate in the competition.

The reason is simple, he needs to rely on the game to maintain the state.

If you can't play in the first team for a long time, no matter how talented the player is, he will die one day.

Su Dong didn't resist this at all, because he was still playing for a third-tier team like Sporting de Portugal before.

"Su, I believe you should also know some things about the team from Ronnie. Our second team is full of young players, and the first team also has many young players. The atmosphere in the team is very good, the competition is fierce, but the team is very united, especially when the team performed well this season."

Su Dong nodded, but he was dubious about this sentence.

Because the outside world has been rumoring that Jardl will leave the team during the winter break, and the goal of the transfer is the four major leagues.

Perhaps seeing the doubts on Su Dong's face, James smiled and said: "I know, you must have seen some news reports, but what I can tell you is that before the club made an official announcement, Jardl was still a player of Sporting Lisbon. He is a smart guy and he knows to abide by the rules of the team."

Su Dong understood.

Yesterday, Mendes told him personally that every professional team has rules, and some rules are universal, while others are different characteristics of each team.

For example, many people know that anything that happens in the locker room should not be disclosed casually.

This is an iron law, whoever violates it will be excluded from the locker room.

Another point is that any player should try his best to maintain the unity of the locker room in front of outsiders.

Many players like to blast the media or fans in the locker room, which is actually very disgusting.

"Before the training of the first team has started, you should go to the second team first." James suggested.

……

Accompanied by Ronnie and Semedo, two veteran horses who know the way, Su Dong went directly to the rest area of ​​the second team.

Before I went in, I heard the noise of playing inside from a distance outside.

"Hello everyone, I'm back!"

As soon as Jose Semedo entered the rest area, he immediately opened his arms and greeted everyone with a smile.

"Hey, Jose, you're almost late." Someone greeted him first.

Seeing the two warmly embrace each other with open arms, Su Dong looked at Ronnie in astonishment, and then at Semedo.

When Su Dong's eyes returned to Ronnie, the Madeira boy shrugged his shoulders with an expression of "I don't care."

It never occurred to me that Jose Semedo was more popular than Ronnie in the locker room.

Isn't Ke Luoni the ace player of the second team?A talented new star that Sporting Lisbon attaches great importance to?
This was a mistake Su Dong made subconsciously.

The best player isn't necessarily the most popular player in the locker room.

To put it bluntly, even in a team like Sporting Lisbon, geniuses will always be very few.

A genius like Ronnie is indeed invincible on the court, but he can't get along with others off the court, because he is still very proud in his bones, and he trains like desperately. It is difficult for anyone to make friends with such a person.

On the contrary, Jose Semedo, he has the unique cheerfulness and optimism of black people. He laughs at everyone, hugs everyone, and hangs around in the locker room, just like a fish entering the sea.

When Su Dong realized this, he found that he really had to change some views.

Perhaps, every team needs a talent like Ronnie, but also a character like Semedo.

"Come on, Su, let me introduce you. This is Ugo Pina."

Semedo quickly brought an old friend to Su Dong.

Su Dong is no stranger to this name. It is said that Jose Semedo often goes out with him to pick up girls.

"Hi, Ugo, hello, I'm Su Dong." Su Dong quickly stretched out his hand.

"I've heard of you, Su. Jose has often told me about you. I'm glad you came to Sporting Lisbon." Hugo Pina is also very friendly to Su Dong, obviously because of Semedo's relationship.

"Ugo, Sudong's transfer fee has equaled your record, so stop showing off." Semedo laughed.

Ugo Pina obviously heard about it too, and shrugged, "I was only 15 years old."

The implication is that I now have more than 30 euros.

Su Dong didn't care about it, he laughed.

"Su, let me introduce you. This is Jose Fonte, our main central defender."

Semedo pulled Su Dong to a tall player, "Jose, he is Su Dong. He is about the same height as you, but his speed is much faster than yours, and his foot skills are better than yours. You probably won't be able to guard him."

Feng Te didn't have much expression on his face, he stretched out his hand, shook Su Dong symbolically, and said provocatively: "There is a chance, let's compete on the training ground."

After finishing speaking, he deliberately glanced at Semedo.

The Cape Verdean shrugged, "Anyway, I can't keep Su Dong."

Following Jose Semedo around the rest area, Su Dong found that Sporting Lisbon is really full of talents.

So far, he has not seen the three talents of Quaresma, Marcelino and Viana entering the first team, nor has he met the two forwards Giswi and Lorenzo who are in the same position as him, but the second team still has many talents.

Fabio Costa, who claims that after Ronnie enters the first team, will officially take over the scepter of the first brother of the youth team, Andrés Cruz, who was once the second stalwart of the sports tower, is very strong, and the midfielder Miguel Paixon who took over the authority of Viana, and Hugo Piña, who has maintained the transfer fee record of the youth team so far...

These people are very young, but they don't look simple.

For example, Andres Cruz, when he walked in from Sudong, he saw that he had been practicing with dumbbells.

Fabio Costa practiced like a juggler, dazzled Su Dong.

However, he soon discovered that as soon as Jose Semedo, Hugo Pina, and Miguel Paixon got together, they immediately started talking about women. It was nothing more than a topic of a beautiful woman, and they all talked with great interest, just like a group of roosters overflowing with male hormones.

After getting acquainted with a group of people, Su Dong sat back beside Ronnie.

He began to understand now why Ronnie seemed so out of place.

It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to integrate into these people in the future.

At least, so far, he hasn't met a girl who makes his heart beat.

Or, it is not an easy task to impress a picky Virgo man.

…………

…………

After staying in the second team for a while, Su Dong followed Ronnie and left.

The two walked through the barbed wire side by side and came to the dressing room of the first team.

The captain of the team is the veteran Pedro Barbosa. This midfielder has played for the team since [-] and has made great achievements for the team. He belongs to the kind of boss who will retire from the team and enter the management team in the future.

Barbosa obviously knew Su Dong a long time ago, not to mention Ronnie, a talented young player in the youth training camp. He had already arranged everything for them, and brought them into the locker room to introduce other players.

Su Dong was very nervous and excited all the way.

A few months ago, he was just in the stands, watching the players of Sporting Lisbon's first team play, how envious he was at that time, and how far away these people were from him.

Who would have thought that a few months later, he entered the Sporting Lisbon first team and got a valuable opportunity to train with them.

Today, he is still far away from playing in the first team. Being able to train with these famous European players is already quite a rare thing for Su Dong.

Because of this, he followed Barbosa nervously all the way into the door of the locker room.

For him, this is not just a door, but a brand new future.
