Chapter 59 We Are Not Bad For Money

"Which rock did this kid jump out of?"

In the stands of the Joaquin Almeida Freitas stadium in Morelense, a bald old Spaniard stared at Su Dong on the field with interest and asked curiously.

Sporting Lisbon's second team was still forced to take the defensive after Sudong scored the second goal.

There is no way, the overall strength is far inferior to the opponent, and it is an away game. When the opponent is aggressively attacking, they have to defend.

Morelence also strengthened his focus on and marking Sudong. The two central defenders stuck to Sudong at every step, which also temporarily curbed Sporting Lisbon's counterattack momentum, but this also made his offense less strong.

This is the offensive and defensive game of professional football.

As soon as the old man Xieding finished asking, a middle-aged Spanish man sitting next to him flipped through the materials in his hand and quickly found a name. "His name is Su Dong. He is from China. He started playing for Sporting de Portugal in Lisbon last summer. This is a third-tier league team. He moved to Sporting Lisbon during the winter break."

"Chinese?" The old man Xie Ding was surprised, and nodded again: "This kid is very good, he has body, technique and speed, and he is very calm and decisive when shooting with two feet, especially when he made an emergency stop. He is able to stop at such a height, and his skills are quite good."

The Spanish middle-aged man was a little surprised. He didn't expect the old man Xie Ding to have such a high opinion of a little-known Chinese player.

who is he?

Luis Suarez.

The only legendary superstar in Spanish history who has won the European Ballon d'Or, he has played for Barcelona and Inter Milan and other giants. After hanging up his boots, he has coached Inter Milan, Deportivo and the Spanish national team, with outstanding achievements.

After retiring from the coaching position, he did not fade out of football, but moved behind the scenes to serve as a senior consultant to Inter Milan Chairman Moratti, providing valuable advice for Inter Milan's management, coach selection and signings.

When Inter Milan introduced Ronaldo from Barcelona, ​​it was Luis Suarez's most commendable handwriting.

Not only that, but he is also the head of Inter Milan's scouting network in the Iberian Peninsula.

Today, he made a special trip to fly from his home in Spain to Porto, and then traveled tens of kilometers to reach Moreira de Coniges, just to inspect the nationally-renowned genius in the second team of Sporting Lisbon, Cristiano Ronaldo.

But unexpectedly, the old man discovered Su Dong by accident.

The middle-aged Spanish picked up a pen, drew a circle on Su Dong's name, and remembered the name.

……

The game ended in a two-to-two draw.

The second team of Sporting Lisbon failed to upset the away game.

Although the team is currently ranked sixth, its overall strength is behind Morelence, and it is already very satisfying to be able to score [-]-[-]. No one can put more demanding demands on this group of young players.

Su Dong, who scored twice, performed very well, continuing the excellent state of the past few rounds.

Ronnie also showed outstanding personal strength.

After training with the first team, Su Dong improved a lot, and Ronnie also improved rapidly.

Whether it is the Portuguese media or Sporting Lisbon fans, they all have high hopes for this local talent from the youth academy.

With Quaresma in the first team, and Ronnie coming out again, forming golden wings has become the wish of countless Sporting Lisbon fans.

What no one knew at all was that after the game, the second Sporting Lisbon team returned to the locker room, washed up, boarded the bus again, and when they set off back to Lisbon, Luis Suarez was standing in the distance.

Watching the bus leave, Luis Suarez picked up the mobile phone in his trouser pocket, found Moratti's number, and called directly.

"Ha, Luis, I heard you went to Portugal?" Moratti's hearty laughter came from the phone.

"Yes, Massimo, I'm here to inspect that Portuguese genius."

"I told you, Luis, you don't need to go in person, just find a scout." On the phone, Moratti's tone was concerned, and it was obvious that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.

"Besides, we have Ronaldo, why should we introduce a mini Ronaldo?"

Luis Suarez smiled wryly, "Sporting Lisbon should value him at around 100 million euros, at most no more than 200 million euros. It's a good deal now, Massimo."

"Very potential?"

"Well, the physical condition, the speed, the technique and the ability to change speed and change direction, are all very good."

"But it's only 17, isn't it?"

"We want to invest in the future, Massimo," Suarez advised.

"Of course, Luis, you're right that we need to invest in the future, but he's only 17 and I think in three more years, when he's more mature, that's going to suit us better."

"But it will definitely be more than this price by then."

"Of course, as long as he has strength." Moratti said boldly.

There is nothing Luis Suarez can do about it either, and it falls within the realm of the club's transfer strategy.

The introduction of a semi-finished product like Cristiano Ronaldo does have certain risks, so many wealthy teams would rather wait until the player grows up, become more mature and stable, and pay a higher price to introduce him, rather than work hard to train him.

This is how the rich teams live.

"I also encountered a surprise, Massimo."

"There are not many things that can surprise you."

"A Chinese player, 17 years old, has nothing to say about his body, technology, and consciousness. He gives me very complicated feelings."

"How to say?" Moratti also became interested.

"Big body, very obvious tactical role, very delicate feet, a bit like Kluivert back then, but when he kicked the goal, he looked a bit like Batistuta, and he moved very smart..."

"Wait, wait, Louis, are you sure the guy you're talking about is 17 years old?"

"of course."

"That's kind of interesting." Moratti laughed.

"I think so too, he should be around 100 million euros too."

"Here you are again, Luis." Moratti was a little impatient, "Is he like Kluivert? But we have Vieri, he is like Batistuta, but the problem is, the real God of War is in Rome, if we need a scorer, why not Batistuta, and choose a little God of War?"

Luis Suarez was speechless.

He hopes to help Inter Milan spend less and get more in return.

But Moratti is more willing to introduce superstars rather than semi-finished products.

Of course, Inter Milan is not short of money now.

…………

The morning after the match against Morelense, Sudone was called aside by coach Boloni as he returned to the first team after training with Nuno Cruz in the gym.

Boloni said that the team is satisfied with his recent performance and hopes that he will make persistent efforts.

"I want you to be ready at all times."

In the Portuguese Super League that just passed, Sporting Lisbon drew with their opponents at home, and Jardel was injured in the game.

This is the first time he has failed to score in a game since his scoring frenzy in January.

Nalicis, who replaced Jadr, played for nearly an hour, but did not perform well and did not score.

Now is the critical moment for Sporting Lisbon to hit the league championship, and Sporting Lisbon's advantage is not obvious, especially after this round of draw, Boavista, who followed closely behind, caught up again.

In the future, Porto led by Mourinho is even more eyeing.

Not only that, but there will be a Portuguese Cup semi-final next, and Sporting Lisbon, who is fighting on two fronts, will be under a lot of pressure.

The four teams currently in the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup are Sporting Lisbon against Maritimo and Porto against Lessos.

Both Sporting Lisbon and Porto are playing at home, and whoever wins will enter the final.

This also makes the game full of suspense.

However, at this fatal time, Jardl was injured.

According to the team doctor's post-match test results, Jardl's injury is not serious and will not affect his continued playing, but it is somewhat of a hidden danger.

After hearing Boloni's words, Su Dong didn't know how he should respond.

are you happy?
He was really happy, after all, he saw the opportunity in front of him.

But it's more about stress.

……

As soon as Boloni left, Pontes followed and handed Su Dong a newspaper.

In an inconspicuous corner of the sports section of the freshly released Portuguese public newspaper, yesterday's Portuguese League score was introduced. Sporting Lisbon's [-]-[-] away draw with Morelense appeared on it.

Su Dong's name [SU] and the time of the two goals appear below the score in smaller fonts.

"What's it like to report for the first time?" Pontes asked with a smile.

Su Dong smiled slightly and shook his head, he didn't know how he felt.

If you insist on saying yes, it is a very unreal feeling, like dreaming.

"Keep working hard, I believe it won't be long before you can not only find your name on it, but also get a report of your own, and even see your own photo." Pontes encouraged.

He watched Su Dong walk step by step with his own eyes, and he was very optimistic about Su Dong's future.

Holding the newspaper, Su Dong raised his head, staring blankly at the blue sky without a trace of cloud.

…………

…………

After playing Morelense on Saturday, Mendes arrived at the apartment with two Spanish guests on Tuesday night.

Su Dong, Ronnie and Jose Semedo all stayed at home and waited because they had received the call in advance.

Luis Suarez with his friend, Garcia.

Frankly speaking, Su Dong didn't know Luis Suarez before.

Because the time when he played football is too long ago, let alone Su Dong, it is estimated that even his father was not born yet.

But Mendes reminded Su Dong and Ronnie on the phone that Luis Suarez is not only respected in Spanish football, but also in European football. He is also a senior adviser to Inter Milan chairman Moratti.

He once won the European Ballon d'Or.

This is the first time in Su Dong's life that he has seen a player who has won the highest honor in football.

Even if he looks very old.

But this still made Su Dong very excited.

Especially when Luis Suarez brought a gift he simply couldn't refuse.
