i want to be king

Chapter 5 The Desire of the Strong
Lionel Pontes' training programs are all the most basic and common, and the training is also the most boring. Even if you are facing some ten-year-old children, you need to combine some interesting activities to start.

And for Su Dong's age, it was undoubtedly even more boring and unacceptable.

Not only that, but changing one's habits is quite difficult and at the same time extremely painful.

Just like that sentence said, if a man even quit smoking, how cruel would he be?
And changing a person's playing habits and the muscle memory formed by playing football for a long time is definitely more difficult than quitting smoking. Even Pontes thinks it is impossible to accomplish.

But in the next period of time, Su Dong used practical actions to prove his determination. He made Ronnie believe that he was not just talking about it, but really wanted to change and improve himself.

In the face of Pontes' training programs, even the most boring and basic things, he is meticulous in implementing them.

Instead of discounting, he also took the initiative to increase his training volume.

He spends most of his time in Pontes' basic training every day. Only in the morning and afternoon, he will spare part of his time to go to the indoor court to fight one-on-one with Ronnie, accumulating some champion points.

At first, Ronnie was still a little skeptical, wondering if Su Dong could handle it.

But gradually, he began to find that Su Dong not only carried it, but also did more, and even doubled the amount of training required by Pontes. Sometimes even he who was watching couldn't bear it, but Su Dong still gritted his teeth and persisted.

This made Ronnie begin to agree and even admire Su Dong's tenacity.

Not to mention anything else, just focusing on this momentum, he firmly believes that if a person like Su Dong can't play professional football, it is really God's disapproval.

And how did he know that what supported Su Dong's persistence in training was not only his own willpower, but also from the system.

Since the potential values ​​of the six attributes have been filled up, for Su Dong, the most important priority now is to tap the potential and improve his own strength through training.

The Pontes training plan that Ronnie brought him is undoubtedly the best gift.

The first period is undoubtedly the most difficult.

On the one hand, it was because Su Dong's foundation was really bad. Some problems and bad habits brought about by unprofessional youth training in China restricted Su Dong's strength, and at the same time made him implement the Pontes training plan, which was particularly painful.

The improvement in strength was slow, and the training was hard. Su Dong was in a difficult mood.

But as long as he thinks of the domestic waste of money to send him to Europe for training, his parents who are full of expectations for him, and the football path he has determined to pursue since he was a child, Su Dong just gritted his teeth and persisted.

After the first week, the training is getting better.

Not only did the number of various attributes increase faster on the personal attribute panel in the system, Su Dong was also more calm in coping with Pontes' training plan, which changed Su Dong's mood and saw a gratifying future.

Especially in the third week, he began to become more calm, more comfortable, and his personal strength improved faster.

Ronnie is also happy for Sudong's progress. At the same time, he also keeps in touch with Lionel Pontes at any time, communicates with him about Sudong's entry and situation, changes and adjusts Sudong's training programs at any time, and helps Sudong continue to improve.

Although it was just over the phone, Lionel Pontes was full of curiosity and anticipation about the Su Dong that Ronnie said.

"He definitely blew my mind, but I'm even more curious now, how far can he go?"

No one knows, including Ronnie.

In a one-on-one contest, Ronnie still maintains a crushing strength advantage over Su Dong.

This not only made Su Dong admire him, but also made him more motivated.

With a strong man like Ronnie whipping and stimulating him, he couldn't accept that he was too bad.

……

Time slowly came to mid-July.

European football has begun to usher in the preparation period for the new season, and it is also the peak period of pre-season warm-up matches.

As a semi-professional team, Athletic Portugal does not have strict pre-season preparations. Many of their first-team players are not even professional players. Everyone has their own work to do. They just go to the team to train and compete after work.

The first team is like this, and the youth team is more free.

According to Su Dong, this doesn't look like a youth team, but more like a domestic football training class.

Because of this, Su Dong never went to the team to report, but practiced in Edward VII Park under the supervision of Ronnie.

The two met at the gate of the park on time at five o'clock in the morning every day, and then stayed in the park all day, with football as companions.

Until one day, Su Dong couldn't wait for Ronnie at the south gate of the park, so he went to the indoor football field to train by himself, but he still didn't wait for Ronnie.

Just when he was full of surprises, a dark-skinned African-American boy appeared.

……

"You are Su Dong?"

The African teenager watched Su Dong train for a while from the sidelines before Shi Shiran stepped into the court.

"I am, who are you?" Su Dong asked strangely.

On weekdays, there are not too many people in this park, and there are more students in pairs from the surrounding University of Lisbon.

"Jose Semedo, I'm Ronnie's teammate." The African teenager introduced himself with a smile.

His smile makes him seem relatable.

Su Dong stopped training, walked towards him, and asked with concern: "What's the matter with Ronnie today?"

"Don't worry, he's fine." Semedo smiled, "It's just that there is something urgent at home. He flew back to deal with it overnight last night. He asked me to come over and inform you, saying that he might not come back for a few days and let you train yourself."

"Oh." Su Dong was somewhat disappointed, after all, he had been training with Ronnie during the previous month.

However, knowing Ronnie was fine, he wasn't worried.

"By the way, is there anything wrong with his family?" Su Dong asked with concern.

Semedo shook his head, "I don't know, he didn't say it, so it's not easy for me to ask."

Su Dong nodded, this is someone else's privacy.

"Did he train with you here for the past month?" Semedo asked suddenly.

"Yeah." Su Dong nodded.

"But I see you..."

"Not strong enough?"

Semedo scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and smiled foolishly.

"Is Ronnie great on your team?"

As soon as Su Dong finished asking, Semedo immediately looked at him with a strange look, as if he had asked a stupid question.

"So, you don't know?"

"Yes, I just know his name is Ronnie, he's a good football player, that's all."

Semedo immediately laughed, "It turns out he likes this tune."

"You haven't answered my question yet," Su Dong reminded.

"Oh, yes, he is indeed very good. He should be the strongest in our team, but this is controversial because there are three people who think that they are the best in the team at the same time, and Ronnie is one of them."

"Then you are..."

"You can ask him this yourself in the future." Semedo smiled mysteriously.

Su Dong is depressed, is this necessary?
Maybe it was because he saw Su Dong training just now, his feet were a little itchy, or because he wanted to show off his skills, Jose Semedo didn't give Su Dong any time to ask questions, and walked directly into the court.

"Come on, I haven't played indoor football for a long time, let's play with you."

Of course Su Dong would not refuse.

Ronnie's teammates are definitely not bad in strength, and the efficiency of getting the king of the ball is also leveraged.

……

Although Jose Semedo is about the same height as Su Dong, he is obviously a lot bigger.

He played as a central defender, and occasionally played as a full-back and a defensive midfielder, which made his playing style very different from Ronnie.

Ronnie is a technical player, and his dribbling skills rely more on dribbling skills and changing speed and direction, but Semedo is different. He is simpler, rougher and more direct, and always crushes Su Dong with his body.

What the two have in common is that they are both very fast, and Su Dong can't keep up with their rhythm and pace at all.

The biggest difference is that every confrontation with Ronnie can bring Su Dong a 200-point capped ball king value, while against Jose Semedo, each time he only has 100 point ball king points.

That is to say, Jose Semedo is far inferior to Ronnie in strength.

Of course, even so, Semedo is definitely more than enough to deal with Su Dong.

This guy is probably very depressed in the team. It is rare to meet Su Dong who is weaker than him, and he has a lot of fun.

Su Dong didn't mind either, for the sake of the champion, despite being crushed, he still refused to admit defeat and challenged again and again.

Gradually, Jose Semedo felt Su Dong's tenacity, and couldn't help wondering why Ronnie liked Su Dong so much, because the two were so similar.

I still remember that when he first came to the team more than two years ago, Ronnie was as thin as a monkey. His skills were good, but he was not good at playing football, especially his physical fitness was even worse.

Because both of them have Cape Verdean blood, they got very close.

Ronnie helped Semedo integrate into the team, and Semedo took Ronnie to the gym, which is what Semedo is most proud of.

At the beginning, Ronnie's performance in the gym was extremely weak, but he was always unconvinced and always challenged his limits time and time again. He spent almost all day and night in the gym, practicing hard.

There was even one time when he stayed until two o'clock in the morning when he was spotted by the club's patrolling security guards, who drove him away.

But relying on this tenacity and persistence, Ronnie's physical fitness has improved by leaps and bounds in just two years, and his speed and strength are comparable to those of a defender like Semedo.

With this, Ronnie has also become the best performing and most talented hopeful star in the team.

Today, what Jose Semedo once saw in Ronnie can also be seen in Su Dong.

But he has to say that Su Dong's future is not bright.

At least, to become a professional player, Su Dong missed too many things, and it was also very, very difficult.

Jose Semedo didn't even understand, what was Su Dong insisting on?
When night fell and the two were lying on the sidelines panting from the fight, Semedo finally couldn't help asking his doubts.

"This is the sorrow of you weak people." Su Dong laughed and replied, "Because you will never understand the desire of the strong."

It's too much.

Semedo was so angry that he jumped up on the spot and fought him for another [-] rounds.
