i want to be king

Chapter 34 The Dust Settles
"Sit casually for a while, I will finish the last group."

When Mendes arrived at Sudong's rental, he was practicing a one-armed handstand.

I saw Su Dong standing upside down, his body arched, only the heels of his feet were in contact with the wall, and then he slowly lifted his left hand off the ground and straightened it on his left side.

It took about ten seconds to ensure that his body was in a balanced state, and then he slowly bent his right arm until the top of his head touched the ground, paused for another five or six seconds, and then slowly raised it until the entire right arm was straight.

From beginning to end, the whole body remains very straight.

Mendes sat across from him, looking a little shocked. This was the first time he had seen such a physical training method.

But he knew that this was a suggestion from Sporting Lisbon's youth training expert Pontes.

Each set should be completed five times, and the left hand should be changed after the right hand is done.

What's more, the pace is slow.

This allowed Mendez to see the muscles of Sudong's arms and shoulders clearly, while also marveling at the balance of his body.

From start to finish, his body and legs remained perfectly straight.

It definitely took a lot of hard work, and it lasted a long time.

Every time from bending the arm to supporting, it seems like a very long process.

Not only Su Dong thought so, but even Mendes, who was watching from the sidelines, thought so too.

He could fully imagine that after such hard training, Su Dong's physical strength, especially the strength of his arms and shoulders, as well as his body's balance ability, were quite excellent.

After finally waiting for Su Dong to finish the training, he himself breathed a sigh of relief, and Mendes also felt a burst of relief.

This kind of arduous physical training, the people who practice it are hard, and the people who watch it are also hard.

……

"How? How's the progress?" Su Dong panted and handed over a bottle of Bull.

This drink is really good, but only available here at Sotong.

Mendes asked several times, but Su Dong just told him that he was brought here by his family.

Ronnie wanted to bring this drink into the Sporting Lisbon stadium, and even took a bottle for testing, there was no problem.

Mendes also likes to drink very much, and he does not refuse anyone who comes. He opened it and took two sips, and he immediately felt refreshed.

"I negotiated with Bellerences. Sporting Lisbon gave up Fernandez's priority. I was responsible for helping them get Anjoe, and they let you go to Sporting Lisbon." Mendes was very satisfied with the result.

Su Dong nodded, he was also very satisfied with the result.

Joining Sporting Lisbon, this was decided as early as a month ago.

At that time, Mendes personally communicated with Sporting Lisbon's technical director Aurelio Pereira, which is why Sporting Lisbon has been silent for a long time. They are more inclined to advance secretly.

The reason why Sudong and Mendes are inclined to join Sporting Lisbon is not only because the team is a Portuguese giant with strong youth training, but also not only because of Ronnie, but more importantly, Sudong has been training with the youth training experts of Sporting Lisbon such as Pontes and Nare.

No one knows Su Dong better than Pontes and others.

In the same way, Sporting Lisbon favors Su Dong so much because they know Su Dong well.

Not only Ronnie, Pontes and Nare, but also recommended Sudong in front of Aurelio Pereira many times.

The whole deal has nothing to do with Sporting Portugal from the beginning to the end. The benefits they want are nothing in front of the big teams. The real trouble is the priority that Belerences has.

Now that this is done, Su Dong's joining Sporting Lisbon is a certainty.

"What about the Portuguese Athletic Association?" Su Dong asked with concern.

Mendes smiled slightly, "30 euros, far more than what they wanted before."

Sporting Lisbon's shot is quite generous and not stingy.

Especially compared to Belerences.

"How does Sporting Lisbon plan to help me?" Su Dong asked seriously.

This is what he cares most about.

"Same as Ronnie, the monthly salary is 2000 euros, the contract lasts for four years, and the liquidated damages are as high as [-] million euros."

"2000 million euros?" Su Dong was a little surprised.

"Yes, Ronnie is also in this gear." Mendes said.

Before he knew it, Su Dong had reached a position similar to Ronnie's.

After Su Dong heard this, he felt a little unbelievable.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that he was different from Ronnie.

Ronnie is a youth training player of Sporting Lisbon, but Su Dong was a player of other teams before, and was favored by teams such as Belerences and Benfica. Sporting Lisbon must give more bargaining chips if they want to poach corners.

The liquidated damages of 2000 million euros is nothing. For the current Su Dong, he has never thought about it, and it is impossible to think about the future. Even if the contract is completed, he will only be 21 years old after four years.

"I talked to Aurelio. You will also participate in the training of the first team during the winter break training camp, but unlike Ronnie, they are not sure whether they can let you participate in the second half of the game. After all, there is no shortage of strikers in the first team."

Su Dong understood that being able to train with the first team was already a pretty good condition for him.

Especially learning from a famous European player like Jardel, this is a rare opportunity.

When the transfer matter was settled, Su Dong breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, I'm going to call my parents and tell Ronnie the good news. He's pestered me almost every day to ask about the situation. I need to tell him quickly." Su Dong laughed.

Mendez nodded with a wide smile.

Today's Su Dong is different from the previous Su Dong.

In the positioning of Sporting Lisbon, Su Dong is the star of hope that they spend 30 euros and pay a salary of [-] euros a month. Such players will definitely be focused on training.

More importantly, Jadl and Nikule are in stable positions, Giswie and Lorenzo are important substitutes, but Jadl has been thinking about leaving Sporting Lisbon, maybe this winter, or next summer, who knows?

Once Jadr leaves the team, as long as Su Dong continues to maintain this momentum of progress, he will soon be able to take advantage of the momentum.

Su Dong, Ronnie, Hugo Viana, if Quaresma and Marcelino can be signed again, then the entire Sporting Lisbon team will become Mendes' world, and this will be the worst blow he gave Jose Vega.

……

Su Dong called his parents and told him about his transfer.

Since he had been hiding it before, his parents were very surprised and pleasantly surprised when he said it suddenly. They even wondered if Su Dong deliberately lied to them to make them happy.

But Su Dong repeatedly assured that he did join Sporting Lisbon, he just signed the contract, and promised to mail the money home every month in the future, which made his parents feel relieved.

The monthly salary is [-] euros, which is [-] yuan if converted into RMB, which is definitely a high salary.

His father was an honest man, he quickly got out of the surprise, and urged Su Dong to concentrate on playing football. With such a high salary, he must not be proud and work hard with humility.

Mother is more concerned about Su Dong's life, and when to go home.

In this regard, Su Dong really has no plan, after all, he will report to Sporting Lisbon next.

After hanging up the phone with his parents, before Su Dong could call Ronnie, there was a knock on the door.

Mendes went to answer the door, and it was Ronnie and Jose Semedo.

The two guys got the news from the club, and immediately rushed to Su Dong's rented house to celebrate.

"You two are really good enough to hide it from me." Ronnie punched Mendes pretending to be angry, and hugged Su Dong hard, smiling from ear to ear.

He had always hoped that Su Dong could be on the same team as him, and now he finally got his wish.

"As I said before, if you go to Sporting Lisbon, you will have to change your position as the first brother of the youth team." Su Dong teased.

Ronnie didn't care, "Anyway, I'm going to the first team to compete for the first brother."

This kid has never been willing to be inferior to others, no matter where he goes, he wants to be the first.

"But to be honest, those in our youth team may not be enough for you to play. After I go to the first team, you will be the first brother."

Sporting Lisbon's youth academy still has a lot of talent, but the best ones have all gone to the first team.

After a while of joking, Ronnie mentioned another thing.

"Alcochetti has been basically completed. Our sports tower will also be closed. Next, the youth team will go to Alcocheti. It is very inconvenient to go there. I just told Jose that we plan to live in another place."

"Where should I go?"

"Wanguo Park over there." Ronnie replied, "It's a new type of commercial community over there, with complete supporting facilities. The most important thing is that you can go directly to the Da Gama Bridge from Wanguo Park. It used to be Alcocheti, which is relatively close."

After finishing speaking, Ronnie raised his eyebrows at Su Dong with a smile, "How about it? When the time comes, the three of us will rent a large apartment together?"

The Park of Nations was built in Lisbon a few years ago to host the World Expo, and later it was transformed into a high-end residential community and a tourist block. There is not only the largest aquarium in Europe, but also the largest shopping center in Portugal, hospitals, schools, etc., are very complete.

Su Dong is now a person with a monthly salary of [-] euros, so he should definitely rent a better house.

Moreover, Sporting Lisbon will have a monthly rental subsidy.

For example, the Don Jose apartment where Ronnie and the others live now, Sporting Lisbon contracted all the rent.

Although Su Dong didn't have high requirements for living conditions, it would be a good thing to be able to live with Ronnie.

So, he reached a consensus with Ronnie on the spot.

Jose Semedo's salary is very low, mainly because his performance in the youth team is not satisfactory, and the club seems to have no intention of improving his contract, but Su Dong and Ronnie still decided to help him pay the rent.

The three of them are so familiar, why can't Su Dong live with Ronnie and let Jose Semedo live in the club dormitory?

　A new journey is about to start, Xiaosu is very happy and needs everyone's support!
