i want to be king

Chapter 40 If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!
Technology: Poor; Physical: Poor; Tactics: Poor; Psychology: Average.

When the whistle sounded for the end of training, Su Dong slumped down on the grass, panting like a cow.

Coach Lionel Pontes came over and handed him a fresh assessment, and the results were dismal.

Su Dong shook his head helplessly, and smiled wryly at Pontes.

Madeira's coach casually took out another assessment report and handed it to Ronnie.

The youth team talent wasn't much better off either.

Technology: Good; Physically average; Tactics: Poor; Psychology: Poor.

"Lionel, did you make a mistake? Why is my mentality so bad? I worked very hard the whole time. I didn't even stop for a moment in the 15-minute confrontation." Ronnie looked very aggrieved.

Pontes nodded and said, "That's true, but it's not enough just to concentrate and devote yourself. You can read the comments."

Su Dong leaned over and looked at the comment with Ronnie.

"The concentration is acceptable, playing football is too selfish, obsessed with expressing oneself, and easily impatient."

Ronnie was speechless for a moment.

It was his first training session with the first team and it was really bad.

If it is said that the worst player in the team is Su Dong, then he must be ranked second to last.

Ronnie has more opportunities to get the ball than Sudong, because Sudong, as a striker, has been facing Brazilian veteran Cruz.

This defensive central defender came from AC Milan. Although he was a little old, he was rich in experience. It was not easy to deal with a rookie like Su Dong. The entire team was frozen without the ability to struggle.

This is why the three major categories of Sudong are all poor.

The main thing about Ronnie is the psychological aspect, he is too anxious to express himself.

"Sometimes the more anxious you are, the easier it is to go wrong. This is a big trouble, and we must try our best to overcome it." Pontes advised.

Ronnie nodded, not sure if he listened.

He was still very proud in his bones, and he didn't think he would lose to anyone, but today's training with the first team made him feel powerless.

"I used to watch from the sidelines, and I always felt that training with the first team seemed to be the same thing. It was quite easy. Sometimes I even felt that those mistakes were too stupid, but when I personally participated in it, my feelings were completely different." Ronnie said with a frown.

Obviously, the first training session of the first team brought him a big touch, or blow.

"What about you?" Pontes looked at Su Dong.

"Me?" Su Dong smiled bitterly, "My only feeling is tiredness. I have tried everything to get rid of Cruise, but there is still no way. I think he seems to be able to guess what I'm thinking and always be one step ahead of me. This is very depressing. I even feel like I want to collapse."

"That's right." Pontes laughed.

Both Su Dong and Ronnie felt very strange, how could it be right?
Pontes squatted down in front of the two and looked at the two immature young players in front of him. Even though they performed poorly in the training just now, he was still full of confidence in them.

"You know? Whether it's the media, fans, or youth team players, it's easy to think of the first team too simply. It's so simple that when you are in the youth team, you will take it for granted that you can do the same when you are in the first team, but in fact, it is not the case at all."

The expression on Su Dong's face became serious.

He is good at listening to other people's suggestions, which is a very good advantage of him.

"You may think that the gap between you and the first team is the gap in strength between you and Quaresma, and a little more is the gap in strength between you and Jardl, but in reality?"

Pontes didn't intend to ask them to answer, so he gave the answer himself.

"The gap between you and the first team is you, and the gap between you and the twenty-odd Quaresma and Jardel. There is a very huge gap between you, and even many people can't bridge it in their lifetime."

At this time, Su Dong suddenly thought of Edgar Marcelino.

He was a genius in the youth team, but he seemed to be unstable in the first team, and he might be sent back to the second team at any time.

"The first team has never been the place to cultivate talents, but the youth team and the second team. When it comes to the first team, whether it is training or competition, everyone will try their best to express themselves. Every touch, every defense, and even every run, they are doing their best."

"So you will find that even in training for the first team, the rhythm is very fast. The pass is so fast that you can hardly catch it. The players run very fast. If you hesitate a little, the chance is gone and the ball is cut off."

What Pontes said was indeed the personal feelings of Su Dong and Ronnie.

"You are the best in the youth team, but when you reach the first team, you will find that you can only be at the bottom. Do you know why?"

Su Dong and Ronnie both shook their heads.

"Strength is part of the reason, and the other part is that you are used to the way and rhythm of youth teams. You need to integrate yourself into the first team, desperately keep up with the teammates around you, keep up with the pace and rhythm of the whole team, and keep up with other people's way of playing, and then integrate into it and show your own strength."

Su Dong understood.

Why did Marcelino and Quaresma enter the first team at the same time, but one was brilliant, but the other was in a downturn?

Perhaps at the moment of entering the first team, the strengths of the two were similar, but Quaresma integrated quickly, and quickly improved his game ability, and then showed his strength.

Unfortunately, Marcelino has done so poorly in this area that he has been underperforming so far.

To be able to enter the first team, the most basic strength is not a big problem, at least it is not out of reach. The key is to be able to integrate into the team, keep up with the pace and rhythm of the team, and exert one's own strength. This is the most difficult.

"Do you know why the whole team, including the head coach, is cold to you?" Pontes asked.

Su Dong and Ronnie shook their heads again.

"The reason is very simple. From the youth team to the first team, there are always very few who can cross this gap. Failure is a high probability event. Therefore, it is normal that no one is optimistic about you."

After hearing this, Su Dong and Ronnie looked at each other again, seeing the dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.

It has not been easy for them along the way, and they will never admit defeat easily.

"Lionel, generally speaking, how long does it take to integrate into the first team?" Ronnie asked with concern.

"I'm not sure, some are fast, some are slow, and you came in in the middle of the season, which is not good, because the entire technical and tactical system of the first team has been established and is very stable, and others have figured it out, but you are still at a loss. This is why many teams don't like signings during the winter break."

"Ricciardo has an advantage, that is, he had nearly two months of summer training and warm-up matches, but you didn't have any at all. Therefore, there is no way to use his standards to measure and demand yourselves, but Edgar's lessons are worth learning from."

Although it is intuitive to use Quaresma and Marcelino as positive and negative cases, it is somewhat inappropriate, so Pontes spoke very quietly, afraid of being heard by others.

"You should have half a year, no later than summer training, if you still can't integrate..."

Pontes didn't finish his sentence, but the answer was very clear.

The first team gathers the best and highest-quality resources of Sporting Lisbon and gives the players the best environment. It is impossible to keep those players who cannot contribute to the team.

If by the summer training camp, Su Dong and Ronnie are still unable to integrate into the first team and cannot prove their strength in training, Sporting Lisbon will certainly not give up on them, but they can only be sent back to the second team for further training.

And soon, the club issued a warning.

…………

…………

On the first morning of the team's winter break training camp, after the training session, Edgar Marcelino was called to the office of the first team coach Boloni.

Not long after returning to the dressing room, he silently walked to his closet, packed his things, and left.

Su Dong stood at the door of the locker room, watching him pass through the barbed wire with his backpack, his back was extremely frustrated and frustrated.

"I don't know, after suffering such a blow, can he return to the first team?" Su Dong said with concern.

Ronnie shook his head, "If it was me, I would come back even if I tried my best, but the others... who knows?"

After speaking, the Madeira boy turned and left.

Su Dong looked at the barbed wire fence. Marcelino was no longer there, but he seemed to see the struggle and loneliness of this African-American player on the other side of the barbed wire fence.

If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!
……

In the first lesson of the training session, he was hit by a blow, and Su Dong's vision for the first team was also awakened a lot.

Even his whole body calmed down.

Although he has the help of the road to the king of the ball, although he has some advantages that others do not have, but in the final analysis, he is still not enough.

But what's interesting is that with the improvement of the training level of the first team, his strength is also climbing up bit by bit.

Although it is slow, it is at least faster than when it was in Portugal.

In addition, the value of the king of the ball comes faster, especially his matchup with Cruise, the efficiency is not lost to Ronnie.

After a training session, he can often earn several thousand, or even over [-] champion points.

For Su Dong, this is a very gratifying harvest.

The only trouble is that he still seems out of place with his first-team teammates and can't keep up with the rhythm.

Pontes reassured him that this kind of thing cannot be rushed, and the more urgent it is, the more likely it will be counterproductive.

"Keep calm and rational, maintain a normal heart, work steadily, improve yourself step by step, and slowly, you will reach that step."

Although Su Dong was impatient, he knew that Pontes was right.

In this way, he trained with the first team for a week and was abused by Cruise for a week. Su Dong forged ahead in the intertwining of pain and happiness, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

After entering [-], the Portuguese Super League quickly rekindled the war.

Su Dong also ushered in his first game joining Sporting Lisbon.
