Chapter 67 Who is Su Dong?

Madrid, Spain.

Ma Dawei, a reporter from an authoritative Chinese newspaper in Spain, walked out of the Calderon Stadium following the ecstatic crowd.

In the magnificent football stadium behind him, a wonderful feast of goals has just ended.

In the fifth round of La Liga No.30, Atletico Madrid defeated visiting Murcia [-]-[-] at home.

This victory has completely established Atletico Madrid's status as the leader of La Liga, and it is only one step away from returning to La Liga.

Ma Dawei could clearly see that all the Atlético fans who walked out of the Calderon Stadium were full of excitement and smiles on their faces, and everyone was full of infinite longing for the future.

This traditional Spanish team has finally returned to La Liga!

Ma Dawei does not have much empathy for the feelings of Atletico Madrid fans around him.

He came to watch this game with a mission.

Not long ago, some Spanish media revealed that Atletico Madrid intends to introduce a young Chinese international footballer. This has caused a great shock in the country, and countless fans are full of expectations.

The national youth team performed well in the Argentina World Youth Championship, and the national team has entered the World Cup finals in history. Everyone in the country is full of hope for the future of Chinese football, especially for this young star of hope.

It is undoubtedly what the Chinese people are eagerly looking forward to to study abroad in Spain.

In the next ten years, he will also hold up the banner of the national team and become an iconic figure in Chinese football.

Everything will get better and better!

Ma Dawei thought to himself.

……

As the crowd left the Calderon Stadium, Ma Dawei came to a coffee shop on the street.

There is no tranquility in the past here. Everyone is enthusiastically discussing the past La Liga game and the upcoming La Liga journey, discussing young Fernando Torres and Antonio Lopez, and discussing veterans Aguilera and Stankovic.

There is also the old coach Aragones who rushed to put out the fire before the season, but led the team all the way to the second division.

Everything is getting better and better.

Just like Chinese football.

Ma Dawei thought to himself.

He picked up the phone, found a familiar name in the address book, and hesitated whether to dial it.

This is a very well-connected scout in Spain. It is said that his relationship network can not only connect with Atletico Madrid, but even local giants like Real Madrid and Barcelona have his friends, and his relationship network even reaches as far as Serie A giants such as Inter Milan.

It was also after many setbacks that Ma Dawei got to know this scout through the introduction of a friend of a friend.

The relationship is not deep, but Ma Dawei hopes to hear some news from the other party.

For example, how far has Atletico Madrid's plan to introduce this Chinese star of hope progressed?

Will it work this summer?

If successful, it will be the first Chinese player in history to land in the Spanish League and La Liga.

Just thinking about it makes people feel excited and excited.

Ma Dawei deliberated for a long time, and finally called.

"Hi, hello, Mr. Garcia, I'm David Ma."

"Which David?"

"No, it's David Ma, Ma Dawei, a Chinese reporter, I had dinner with you once before, remember?"

"Oh, yes, of course."

"That's it, Mr. Garcia, I wonder if you are free these two days? I want to treat you to a meal and ask you about the transfer of Chinese players to Atletico Madrid. Is it convenient for you?"

"Sorry, David, I came to Portugal with my friends."

"Really?" Ma Dawei couldn't hide his disappointment, "That's okay, I can wait for you to come back."

"I know what you want to know, David, but I want to tell you that the possibility of this transfer is very low."

Ma Dawei was taken aback, "Why?"

"Atletico Madrid don't need a player like that."

"But that's not what the media said before, they said..."

"Yes, David, but you must know that the vocation of the media is sales, but the sales of the media will not be considered in the club's signings. Even if it is the introduction of superstars like Real Madrid, the first consideration is definitely not what the media says."

Ma Dawei seemed to have been poured a bucket of cold water, with disappointment written all over his face.

"Is there really no chance?"

"As far as I know, no." Garcia replied affirmatively, "You know, they already have a Fernando Torres, he is younger, more capable, and more talented."

"But he hasn't scored many goals this season and he's still in the Second Division."

"Don't look at it that way, David." Garcia smiled slightly on the phone. "You have to know that Torres participated in the U16 European Youth Championship last summer. As the main force, he helped Spain win the championship and won the Golden Boot."

"After that, he skipped the U17 and U18 national teams and directly entered the U19, and performed very well in the Danish European Youth Championship qualifiers. He is currently the main striker of the U19 national team and is also one of the youngest players. The other is Barcelona's genius Iniesta."

"Such players are what Atletico Madrid need and are willing to focus on cultivating."

Now that we've talked about this, what else can Ma Dawei say?

If even Garcia finds it impossible, then this transfer will basically be difficult to make.

Just when Ma Dawei was full of disappointment and wanted to terminate the call, Garcia on the other end of the phone suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, David, if I remember correctly, you are from China, right?"

Ma Dawei was a little embarrassed to find that the other party probably forgot who he was.

"Yes, Mr. Garcia, I am Chinese."

"I don't know if you've heard of Su Dong, a player who studied abroad?"

"Su Dong?"

"Yes, how is he doing in China? What is his family background? How did he come to Portugal?"

Ma Dawei felt Garcia's concern on the other side of the phone, and he was very surprised.

He had never heard of the name Su Dong, let alone who Su Dong was.

"Wait, Mr. Garcia, I don't understand, who is Su Dong?"

"Oh my God, David, you don't know Su Dong?" Garcia seemed to have heard a strange thing.

"Who is he?"

Garcia did not answer the question, "Are there many Chinese players studying abroad in Europe?"

"Not many, three in total."

"Then you don't know Su Dong?" Garcia was even more surprised.

"Mr. Garcia, may I ask, who is Su Dong?"

"I suggest that instead of paying attention to Atletico Madrid's improbable transfer, you might as well pay attention to Su Dong of Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League. He just made his debut in the Portuguese Super League. With one pass and one shot, he helped Sporting Lisbon reverse Setubal and shocked everyone."

"This is a key battle for the Portuguese Super League this season. Su Dong's performance is better than the Portuguese geniuses Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo. He has even attracted the attention of Inter Milan. Luis Suarez is full of praise for him and thinks he will become an excellent center forward."

"This...how is this possible?" Ma Dawei was shocked.

When did China produce such a player?
This is impossible, there is no news at all in the country.

"It's true, David, just wait and read the Portuguese papers tomorrow."

After Garcia chuckled, he hung up the phone.

Ma Dawei sat there dumbfounded, unable to digest the information Garcia just brought.

He quickly took out his notebook, opened the webpage, and searched for the news of the Portuguese Super League on the portal website, and sure enough, he found several real-time news at once.

"The Chinese God of War shines in the Portuguese Super League!"

"The 17-year-old genius center made a stunning debut, and his debut staged a lore scene!"

"One pass and one shot, the director of the young Sporting Lisbon player went crazy!"

"Coach Setubal: He reminds me of Kluivert!"

"The substitute young player shined in the audience, and Boloni praised him: he still has a huge potential that has not been tapped!"

"Jardl rarely responds to being out of the national team list: Ronaldo who has not scored is not as good as Su Dong!"

……

Ma Dawei was dumbfounded, and he found a lot of news at once.

The name Su Dong suddenly popped up in Portugal as if overnight.

17-year-old Chinese player?

Ma Dawei didn't have any impression at all. Where did he come from?Which team is it from?When and how did you stay abroad?

After finally calming down, Ma Dawei immediately called the editor-in-chief of an authoritative domestic football newspaper.

But what surprised Ma Dawei was that the other party had never heard of the name Su Dong.

"It's impossible! There are only a few Chinese players studying abroad, and each of them looks like a baby bump. If there are really Chinese players playing for a European team like Sporting Lisbon, how can there be no rumors in China?"

"Is it an overseas Chinese?"

Ma Dawei shook his head and denied it. Garcia told him clearly that it was a Chinese player, and there were more than a dozen pieces of news on the Internet, and even more and more.

Unwilling to give up, Ma Dawei found the phone number of a friend inside the Football Association, and he wanted to find out.

"Su Dong? I don't know, I haven't heard of it, I don't know, it's definitely not a Chinese player." The opponent immediately denied it.

But when Ma Dawei talked about Su Dong in detail, especially when he mentioned Portugal, the other party was taken aback.

"It can't be him, can it?"

"Who?"

"A player who was banned last year."

"Banned and banned?"

Following the advice of his friend, Ma Dawei quickly found a rather inconspicuous piece of news on the domestic Internet, and the number of hits was only in single digits.

The general content of the news is that a Chinese player illegally transferred to the Portuguese Athletic Club in Lisbon, Portugal, and the Football Association banned him from the game, and the period of the ban was not even listed.

"What's going on?" Ma Dawei was shocked.

Why is a talented rookie who shined in his debut in the Portuguese Super League and even Inter Milan paid attention to, but was banned in China?

Illegal transfer?

But they were able to transfer from Sporting Portugal to Sporting Lisbon and successfully landed in the Portuguese Super League.

Where is this illegal?

Ma Dawei's continuous questioning got nothing but an awkward wry smile.

This is a muddled account.
