i want to be king

Chapter 92 Pepe
"Su, do you want to beat him?"

Pepe was shocked when he heard Ronnie's words.

Enemies have a narrow road and meet each other on a narrow road, but it doesn't look like this.

Hands on a disagreement?
How to put it, we all play in the Portuguese Super League, and fighting face to face is not a good thing.

Besides, I still have something to do!
The expression on Pepe's face changed a few times, and finally he made a decision that surprised Su Dong and others.

The Brazilian central defender, who was ferocious on the court and as cruel as if he wanted to eat people, turned around and ran away without hesitation after hearing Ronnie's ruthless words.

Yes, that's right, he turned around and ran, really fast!

Su Dong and Ronnie looked at each other in blank dismay, a little in disbelief.

Is it necessary to be scared like this?
"Su." Ronnie gently bumped Su Dong's arm with his elbow, "Am I already this fierce?"

To let Pepe, a mad dog, run away with a single ruthless word?

Su Dong shook his head in a daze, he was also very puzzled, there is no reason, isn't it?
"I guess, he is not afraid of you being fierce, but thinks you are ugly." Su Dong thought for a while and replied.

Ronnie turned his head, looked at his buddy plaintively, and then giggled.

"It's okay. Look at him like that. He probably lives in Falcao Village. Although I have been away from home for many years, the legend of my brother is still circulating here. Finding someone is as easy as going home for dinner." Ronnie quickly thought about it.

"Isn't Pepe Maritimo's substitute player? Why is he here?" Nuno Cruz asked in surprise.

Ronnie smiled and pointed to the north of the village, "Maritimo's home court is in the urban area, but their training base is just north of our village. Seeing how cowardly Pepe is, he probably doesn't do well in the team."

It is also a matter of course for a young player who is not doing well to rent at the fan's house next to the training base.

Su Dong has also experienced such a situation, so he can understand it naturally.

"Let's go, let's go, don't be as knowledgeable as him, anyway, we won the game." Su Dong said.

Ronnie curled his lips. He didn't really want to beat Pepe up. He was just playing hard just now.

……

Just when the three of them entered Ronnie's house, Pepe ran out of Falcao Village in one breath and stopped panting like a cow.

Sitting on the side of the road, the Brazilian central defender kept patting his chest and took a deep breath.

"It's unlucky, why did I meet these two guys when I went out?"

After finishing speaking, Pepe looked back very cautiously, and he didn't feel relieved until he confirmed that no one was chasing after him.

"Fortunately, I didn't catch up, otherwise..."

Ronnie is about the same size as Pepe. Su Dong is about 1.9 meters tall, and there is a middle-aged man who looks like a teacher next to him. In terms of one-on-one, Pepe is definitely not afraid, but the problem is that there are three of them.

Besides, regardless of how cruel Pepe is on the court, he is actually quite docile on the court.

"Don't go that way in the future." Pepe said to herself.

For a stranger like him, it's best not to cause trouble.

This is also what Pepe has learned since leaving home since childhood.

Walk down the mountain along the village road and enter the most prosperous neighborhood in Funchal.

Pepe came to a newly opened restaurant familiarly, opened the door and went in.

"Hey, Pepe, you're late."

As soon as you enter the door, there is an accusation at the beginning.

"I'm sorry, Boss, I accidentally encountered some accidents when I went out, I promise I won't do it next time." Pepe hurriedly explained.

"No, if you are late, you are late, and you will be fined by half of today's wages."

"Halved?" Pepe pulled her face down.

He was originally very fierce, but when he pulled his face, he looked even more fierce.

The boss was also apprehensive, but he still asked sternly: "What? Don't accept it? Do you still want to do it?"

Pepe clenched his fists with both hands, gritted his teeth, and nodded with all his strength, "Okay, I'll take it and listen to the boss." After finishing speaking, the Brazilian squeezed out a stiff smile.

"Hurry up and go to work!"

……

Two hours later, the restaurant began to usher in the lunch rush.

Pepe, who was dressed as a waiter, was very busy in the restaurant.

He not only has to clean the table, serve the dishes, but also wash the dishes in the back kitchen. His movements are a little slower, and the shouts are transmitted.

"There are guests in Box No. [-], please wipe the table quickly."

"Coming." Pepe had just stood up straight and hadn't taken a breath. After hearing the shout, she could only reply and hurried over.

Just as he was about to enter the door, he saw that the guests sitting inside were Su Dong and others whom he met in the village just now.

It's just that there were only three of them just now, but now there are eight of them.

"This restaurant is newly opened. I heard it's delicious. Please try it later." Ronnie's mother said.

Everyone's attention was not on the waiter, only when Su Dong turned his head and glanced at the entrance, he suddenly saw Pepe.

The Brazilian central defender knew that Su Dong recognized him, and immediately pulled down the brim of his hat vigorously.

"Sorry for the long wait, I'll help you clean the table."

When Pepe walked over, she kept praying in her heart.

Don't say it!

He swore that if Su Dong called out to him at this time, it would definitely be the most embarrassing and shameful thing in his life.

He really didn't want to be recognized.

"Okay, leave the things behind, we'll wipe them ourselves, you can go out." Su Dong said.

Pepe was pardoned, and after giving Su Dong a grateful look, she turned around and left.

From the beginning to the end, Ronnie was so focused on talking to his family that he didn't notice who the waiter was coming in and going out.

……

The food in the restaurant was really good, but Su Dong didn't have much taste for it.

He can understand Pepe's situation.

According to previous information, after Pepe came to Maritimo, he has always been a youth team player. It was not until the end of the season that he became the main player due to injuries in the team. But because of this, it is conceivable that his situation is not ideal.

During this period of time in the Portuguese Athletic, Su Dong's life relied on the support of his parents in China to survive.

Without the support of his parents, he probably would have to work part-time to earn money.

Although Maritimo is a Portuguese Super League team, the salary they give to young players like Pepe may not be very high.

To put it bluntly, Pepe and the others came to Madeira from Brazil just to find a dream.

So why not Su Dong?
But even so, Su Dong didn't intend to help him, because he didn't like Pepe.

Especially Pepe, who is like a mad dog on the court and does everything to his opponents.

Things in the world are just so weird sometimes.

After lunch, Su and Dong accompanied Ronnie's family to their rented villa to rest and visit.

After parting in the afternoon, Nuno Cruz took Su Dong and Ronnie to the gym, saying that he wanted to let them get acquainted with the venue first, and the formal training would start tomorrow.

This is a well-equipped gym with a large venue and all kinds of professional coaches. It is said that it also cooperates with Maritimo, which is why Nuno Cruz chose it.

But what really surprised Su Dong was that he ran into Pepe again in this gym.

In just one day, after meeting three times, Su Dong really didn't know how to react.

Pepe was also very surprised when he saw him, and even forgot to avoid it, and was directly seen by Ronnie.

"Why are you here?"

Pepe was a little embarrassed, "I work part-time here."

"Aren't you a Maritimo player?"

"Yes, there is cooperation with our team here, and I haven't signed a long-term contract yet, so when the league is suspended, I always have to find a job for myself and make some money, right?"

Su Dong and Ronnie suddenly realized.

Although Europe is the core of professional football, the Portuguese Super League can be regarded as a major league in European football, and Maritimo is a Portuguese super team, but in fact, they still have many small tricks that outsiders can't imagine.

For example, what Pepe said, during the suspension of the league, Maritimo obviously did not pay his salary, or only paid a small part of it, which could not even meet the living expenses of him and his family, so he needed to work part-time to make money.

How much to pay depends on how the club's contract to the player stipulates.

For Brazilian players like Pepe who have left their hometown, they are precisely the ones who have the least bargaining power.

Unless he can kick it out.

"I wanted to beat you up to vent my anger, but now that you are like this, forget it." Ronnie was happy.

In fact, even in the village just now, he never thought of really beating up Pepe.

"Are you here for training?" Pepe asked with concern.

"Yeah." Ronnie nodded, pointing to Nuno Cruz not far away, "That's our personal trainer."

Pepe's eyes are full of envy, there is a personal trainer here.

"Then when you are training, can I watch from the side?" Pepe asked again.

"What? It's fine if I don't beat you up, and you still want to learn?" Ronnie became ruthless again.

"No, no, I just want to see how to practice, but I won't mess around, I promise not to disturb you, and I can be your sparring partner, free of charge." Pepe said.

Ronnie pondered for a while, then looked at Su Dong, "It seems that we are still at a disadvantage."

Su Dong smiled. Compared with the mad dog Pepe on the court, he prefers this Pepe off the court.

"I don't care, you decide." Su Dong replied.

He did remember that when he played Maritimo, Pepe's physical fitness was very good, and his defense was a little frizzy, but his physical confrontation was quite amazing. Ronnie fell to the ground after being hit by him.

He has just mastered Vieri's [Invincible], and he also needs a player like Pepe with super physical confrontation to accompany him on weekdays, so that he can master the ability and skills of physical confrontation faster.

If Su Dong didn't object, it was basically a tacit consent.

Pepe once again cast a grateful look at Su Dong.

Ronnie simply used Pepe as a sparring partner, and "very reluctantly" agreed to Pepe's request.

Of course, Nuno Cruz has no objection, because with one more partner, he can do a lot less things, such as arranging the venue and equipment, and he doesn't mind if someone steals it.

In this way, the four reached an agreement on the spot.

Go to yoga every morning and hit the gym every afternoon.
