i want to be king

Chapter 9 Nirvana
When you come, you are unknown, and when you leave, you hold your head high.

Su Dong liked the envious, even jealous eyes when he looked around, it fascinated him.

Once upon a time, he also looked at these teammates with this look.

He has been in Portugal for so long, and he has never received so much recognition and appreciation like today, whether it is from fans, coaches and teammates, or the promise of head coach Gorba.

All of these made him so excited that he wanted to yell.

He wanted to find someone to share this joy and achievement with.

The first thing that comes to mind is Ronnie.

So, after the assessment was over, he immediately ran to King Edward VII Park, two kilometers away.

What surprised him even more was that in the park he thought should be empty, in his familiar indoor football field, that familiar figure who had been away for a week unexpectedly appeared.

"Ronnie? When did you come back?" Su Dong ran over excitedly.

Ronnie, who was waiting for Su Dong in the stadium, turned around after hearing the shout, and was very happy to see Su Dong.

"I just arrived at midnight last night, so I woke up a little late in the morning."

After the two met, there was a warm hug immediately.

Although it's only been a week, it seems like it's been a long time.

"Have you been lazy recently? Why are you here so late?" Ronnie asked with concern.

It was almost noon now, and Su Dong came at this time, which made Ronnie a little disappointed.

"I'll be here at five o'clock." Su Dong said with a smile, "Today we have a team assessment."

Ronnie suddenly realized, he just said, Su Dong didn't look like the kind of person who would be lazy.

"How about the test results?" Ronnie asked with concern.

"good."

"It's okay?" Ronnie was a little dissatisfied, "How can you say that you have practiced with me for so long, so it's okay?"

Although Ronnie never told Sudong which team he was in, Sudong told Ronnie that he was a youth team player of Athletic Portugal.

In Ronnie's impression, this third-tier team is not bad.

The first team is not doing well, and the youth team is even worse.

Su Dong laughed, "Actually, he performed pretty well. After the assessment, the club immediately wanted to sign with me."

"That's great, you can stay here in the future." Ronnie was also very happy.

Su Dong nodded heavily, and looked at Ronnie with gratitude.

Although his rapid progress is due to his career as the champion, Ronnie also helped him a lot.

He couldn't have progressed so fast without Ronnie.

Perhaps because he sensed Su Dong's eyes and knew what he wanted to say next, Ronnie said first, "Since you can stay, don't say any more. Let me see if you have made any progress this week."

With that said, Ronnie kicked the ball directly to Su Dong.

In the football field of Edward VII Park, there was another news of the two contesting.

……

After being promoted to the third level, Su Dong and Ronnie can get 300 points for each match.

This surprised Su Dong, because it proved that Ronnie's strength was beyond his imagination.

How strong is he?

Su Dong was full of doubts, but also full of admiration.

But he didn't know that Ronnie was equally surprised by Su Dong's progress.

In the past, he was tired of being with Su Dong every day, and he got used to it naturally, but he didn't have much impression of Su Dong's progress.

But this time they separated for a week, when he saw Su Dong again, he could obviously feel Su Dong's progress.

Especially in a duel, when Su Dong suddenly took the ball a small step away and hit a powerful shot that hit the bottom of the goal net, Ronnie was very surprised.

"Barty GOL!" Ronnie praised.

Su Dong nodded cheerfully, "This is the nirvana that I have secretly practiced recently."

But soon, Ronnie returned him a Batty GOL, and shook his finger at him provocatively, as if to say: Isn't it Batty GOL?I can do it too.

Su Dong was speechless, this arrogant kid would not admit defeat in anything.

In the following duels, whenever Su Dong had a chance, he kicked the goal and scored a few goals, which was unimaginable before.

It can also be seen from this point that his recent progress has indeed been great.

Of course, there is still a big gap from Ronnie.

……

"Here, here you go, drink some water first."

At noon, the two of them were exhausted and rested on the sidelines out of breath. Su Dong threw him a bottle of Bull.

"Well, where did you buy this drink? It's delicious."

After taking a sip, Ronnie gulped down the entire bottle of Brutal Bull in one breath.

"If you like it, I will provide it for free." Su Dong said proudly.

Ronnie was not polite to him, and instead changed the topic to the duel just now.

"Your Batty GOL is still not powerful enough, the shooting accuracy is lacking, and the strength is not enough. You still need to strengthen it."

Su Dong nodded, and he also felt the same way, "Our club doesn't have a gym, only some simple equipment. I dare not practice casually. You know, if you get injured accidentally, you will be in trouble."

"It's right to be careful." Ronnie nodded, "I'll take you to a gym I often go to later, and the trainers there are very professional."

"Okay." Of course Su Dong is fine.

After getting in touch with him, he knew that Ronnie was a very demanding person. Even if there was a small flaw in his training, Ronnie would be picky and asked him to do it again, so that Su Dong complained about him. An Aquarius man is more perfectionist than a Virgo.

"By the way, what happened to you when you came home this time?" Su Dong asked with concern.

Ronnie, who was smiling at first, flashed a trace of worry, but quickly shook his head and said: "There was a little accident, it should have been resolved, don't worry about me." After finishing speaking, he smiled gratefully at Su Dong.

"It's you, now that you have passed the assessment, what do you think?"

Su Dong is also in trouble, and this is his biggest headache now.

Gorba talked to him just now, and Sporting Portugal wants to sign a youth training contract with him, paying him a living allowance of 50 euros a month, as well as various bonuses for participating in competitions.

Not only that, Gorba promised to promote him to the first team, follow the team to train and play.

Su Dong is very clear that he is currently at the ball level, which is roughly equivalent to a semi-professional level, similar to the level of the first team of the Portuguese Sporting Club, and this team is not outstanding among the third-tier teams, relatively mid-range.

Unlike the previous liar company, Gorba did not hide Su Dong. He told Su Dong clearly that the club would give him as much help as possible to let him grow and improve as soon as possible, and at the same time give him plenty of opportunities to practice in games. The only purpose was to sell him after he performed well.

This kind of words may sound uncomfortable, but in fact, this is professional football.

The way for Athletic Portugal to survive is to sell the players it has dug out.

"It sounds like the conditions are okay." After hearing this, Ronnie commented, "The monthly salary and bonus are both at the normal price. I also received a subsidy of 50 euros in the youth team before, but I will be a caddy during home games, 5 euros per game."

"The most attractive thing is the training and competition opportunities of the first team. If you perform well, you will have the opportunity to go to other better and higher-level teams. Of course, you can also choose to go to other teams for trial training now, but I think that even if you pass, I am afraid it will be difficult to get the chance to play immediately."

No matter how you say it, Sporting Portugal is also a third-tier league team. For Su Dong, who is only 16 years old, this level of competition is still very valuable.

"Yeah, so I'm thinking, it's better to stay." Su Dong also thought so.

"Don't worry too much. I found that you have made great progress during this period of time. If you maintain this momentum, I believe that Sporting Portugal will not be able to keep you soon. By then, you will not only realize your dream of becoming a professional player, but even if you have the opportunity, I hope we can become teammates."

"Teammate?" Su Dong couldn't believe it.

"Yes, our team has been rebuilding a new stadium in the past two years and built a new training base on the outskirts of the city. It is clinking poorly. The offensive ability was too weak last season. In order to introduce a powerful striker this summer, we had to sell three generals to raise enough money to operate."

"So, in the future, we will definitely vigorously improve the youth training, and our youth training is very strong, and we only accept the best young players in Portugal." Ronnie said proudly.

Su Dong was a little surprised. He had already guessed that Ronnie's team was very good, but he didn't expect it to be so good.

"Benfica, Sporting Lisbon, or Belerences?" Su Dong asked curiously.

Ronnie replied with a joking smile, "Guess."

…………

…………

The two fought again in the indoor football field.

At noon, Su Dong consumed some King Points, exchanged two western meals in the mall, and then pretended to order takeaway by himself, and treated Ronnie to a meal. As a result, the Portuguese still ate with relish and was full of praise.

The two stayed in the park all day and did not separate until nightfall.

Before leaving, Ronnie also said that he would ask Pontes and another coach named Naley about Sudong's training, and he would continue to help Sudong with special training.

However, with the arrival of the new season, the two probably won't be able to stay together all day long like before.

Back in the dormitory that night, Su Dong received a call from head coach Gorba.

Gorba obviously attaches great importance to Sudong's signing, and has repeatedly emphasized the treatment that Sporting de Portugal will give him. At the same time, he promised that as long as he signs the contract, he can immediately train and compete with the first team.

"We will arrange you to play every game and give you enough opportunities to exercise."

Su Dong had already decided to sign the contract, and immediately agreed without thinking too much.

Since when Su Dong went to the Portuguese Athletic Club, the agent he entrusted was the liar, so this time he clearly told Gorba that he did not have an agent, and he would sign the contract in person.

Gorba didn't care about this either. Anyway, as long as the players are willing to sign, it doesn't matter whether they have an agent or not.

After signing the contract, Su Dong also received a signing fee of 100 euros.

It was a windfall.
