I Want to Be the King of Football

Su, here!

When Su Dong walked into Barcelona's Santalo Avenue, an inconspicuous Argentine restaurant called Quattro, Aimar stood up in the distance, raised his hand high, and called out his name.

Su Dong was too tall and stood out in the restaurant. He raised his hand slightly to signal that he saw it, and walked straight over.

Is it hard to find here? Aimar greeted Su Dong with a smile and sat down in the vacant seat beside him.

The location is okay, there are many restaurants and hotels here, but the driver found it all at once, which is the specific location of the restaurant...

Su Dong shook his head and sat down with a wry smile. In the most lively city center of Barcelona, ​​where restaurants from all over the world gathered, it was really hard to find an inconspicuous Argentine restaurant.

But anyway, I finally found a place.

...

This restaurant is a few years old, the tables, chairs and benches look a little old, but the pure white tablecloth and tableware placed on it are neat and tidy, making people feel very comfortable, but it has a very retro feel.

A rectangular table for four, Su Dong and Aimar sat on one side, and a stranger sat opposite.

He looks young and feels like Argentine, because there are not many people with long hair these days, especially when they mix with Aimar, it is estimated that they are inseparable.

What's more interesting is that this person's height is very close to Aimar's, so that three people sit together, Su Dong seems to stand out from the crowd, and Aimar's two are especially pocket-sized.

Two little dwarves and a dwarf!

Su Dong couldn't help but pop out such a picture in his mind, it felt very funny.

Su, I'm here to introduce you, Leo Messi, my little brother.

Aimar took the initiative to introduce his friend to Su Dong, and then pointed to Su Dong, Leo, Su Dong.

Hello! Su Dong took the initiative to extend his hand.

Hello! Messi held Su Dong's hand.

After the two politely shook hands, the topic came to this restaurant.

It was my first time to eat here, and Leo said it was one of the best Argentinian restaurants in Barcelona.

Messi nodded.

Yes, I come here often, because it is only about three kilometers away from La Masia, it is very convenient to take the bus, and it is the first Argentine restaurant I found after coming to Barcelona.

Su Dong and Aimar both came at one time, so of course Messi was in charge of ordering.

Although he is only sixteen years old, he is very familiar with this restaurant, and he has been living in Barcelona a few years ago, so he is relatively independent.

Su Dong didn't pay much attention to food either.

Pablo, he is the one you always mentioned, the little fan of Barcelona? Su Dong asked in a murmur.

He's the one from the Barcelona youth academy! Aimar nodded and gave a thumbs up.

But are you too stingy? How can you say that you are also our Valencia player in the first tier of annual salary. You asked a teenager from the youth team to invite you to dinner? Su Dong looked at Aimar with some disdain.

Aimar smiled, It's not my idea, Messi took the initiative to invite me to dinner, and called you by the way.

Seeing Su Dong frowning, Aimar knew in his heart that Su Dong was actually a very good friend, because he always thought of others, even if this person was Messi who met for the first time.

Don't worry, he just signed a new contract, the annual salary is not bad, and the penalty is higher than yours.

Really? Su Dong didn't believe it. His liquidated damages were as high as 120 million euros.

Can a Barcelona youth team player's penalty be higher than himself?

His maximum is 150 million euros.

how can that be?

Don't you know? Aimar laughed. He liked to see Su Dong slumped, because on the football field, Su Dong was always majestic and omnipotent. He watched him suffer in private. It is also a pleasure.

Ladder-style liquidated damages, didn't expect it?

How? Su Dong was very curious, he really didn't expect it.

He played in the youth team, and the penalty was 30 million euros, but if he was transferred to the Barcelona second team, the penalty would automatically increase to 80 million euros. If he was promoted to the first team, the penalty would double directly to one. Fifty million euros, is it more than you?

After listening to Su Dong, he turned to look at the child who looked immature but had the long hair of the iconic Argentine players.

You know, the higher the liquidated damages, the higher the compensation will be given.

That is to say, according to this contract, when Messi enters the second team, his salary will automatically increase a bit, and when he enters the first team, his salary will increase again, and there is no need for contract negotiations at all.

Barcelona is very optimistic about him?

Aimar nodded with a proud smile, The contract is signed for 2012, what do you think?

Nine-year contract!

Su Dong was an eye-opener.

This kid is not really the legendary super genius, right?

...

Messi heard the two people on the opposite side muttering, but he focused on ordering.

He ordered three of his favorite dishes for Sutong and Aimar: Milanese veal, empanadas and Milanese Messi.

Milanese is his nickname for this dish, which involves dipping meat in eggs and bread crumbs mixed with tomato sauce, and baking it in the oven along with ham and cheese.

Empanadas are sort of like fried dumplings, wrapped in lamb and cheese.

Frankly speaking, none of these three dishes looked very delicious, but Messi and Aimar ate them with relish and praised them, making Su Dong wonder if they were eating the same dish?

What? I'm afraid to eat these things. After returning, Nuno Cruz will embarrass you? Aimar asked with a smile.

Su Dong shook his head with a wry smile. He was not afraid, but he rarely touched these foods on weekdays, especially such a large piece of roast beef, which was difficult to digest at first glance.

More importantly, none of these foods were to his taste, not tasty at all.

The gourmet food of Messi and Aimar made Su Dong feel hard to swallow.

But since it's ordered, eat it as a courtesy.

While eating and chatting, the topic soon turned to the game that just passed.

With the goal of Sudong, Valencia defeated Barcelona 1-0 away, which allowed the Bats to top the La Liga table with a three-point advantage, suppressing Deportivo Deportivo, and Real Madrid followed closely with 13 points. back.

After six rounds, Barcelona has only scored nine points, ranking eighth in La Liga.

The report card is indeed unsatisfactory, and Rijkaard's coaching has been called into question.

Before coaching Barcelona, ​​the legendary superstar's coaching resume was lackluster.

There are also a lot of problems inside the club, including the youth team. My best friend left this summer to go to the Premier League.

Speaking of his future in Barcelona, ​​Messi seems very uneasy.

Even a rookie like Iniesta, who has already made his mark in the first team, almost left the team this summer. It is conceivable that young players in the youth team like Messi are pessimistic about the future.

What are your plans? Amar asked with concern.

Messi curled his lips, You know, they have invested a lot in treating me, so I signed a long-term contract with them. It is impossible to leave. I am thinking about it myself, looking for an opportunity next year or the year after. Go out on loan and play the game first.

He is only sixteen years old, and he will only be seventeen next summer, which is the age when he needs to mention the competition.

If possible, I'll tell Valencia that we don't have anyone on the right.

Ruffit and Angulo are both strong players, which is true, but the two players are more diligent on the right. Compared with Vicente on the left, they still lack some flavor.

Messi smiled and didn't answer. If he really needed it, he would definitely contact Aimar.

By the way, Su, you performed so well in Sporting Lisbon. There should be many teams wanting to sign you. Why did you go to Valencia? Messi asked curiously.

Su Dong smiled.

Among the teams that were interested in him at the beginning, Valencia was indeed the most inconspicuous, even worse than Deportivo.

I studied it carefully, Valencia is actually very strong, there are a lot of outstanding players here, but the striker is a little worse, I think I can fill this shortcoming, so I am here.

After listening, Messi nodded, Ricardo mentioned you to me.

Oh? Su Dong was curious.

Would Quaresma still mention him in front of others?

I think he regrets joining Barcelona.

Speaking of this, Messi's tone was obviously a little sad.

He sees no hope in this volatile team.

Many people could not see hope, so they chose to leave.

Su Dong felt that Messi also had the same intention to leave. The difference is that he still has a long-term contract with Barcelona.

In the end what kind of disease did Barcelona treat for him? Is it worth getting him to sign this kind of nine-year contract?

Don't talk about this, you can practice in La Masia for another year in peace, wait until next summer, if there is a chance, I will help you find a way, whether it is a loan or a transfer, I will always help you find a kicker. The team that gets the ball.

Aimar has been famous in European football and Argentina for many years, and he has a wide range of ways. He must be sure.

By the way, Su, if you meet a guy named Gerard Pique on the football field in the future, don't be merciful and teach him a lesson! Messi suddenly snorted and laughed said.

Why? Su Dong and Aimar were very curious.

He made a bet with me, he said that the two central defenders of Real Madrid were too useless, so they were beaten to death by you. If it was him, he would definitely be able to press you to the death, and I don't think he could do it, so We made a bet.

Su Dong and Aimar looked at each other and both showed wry smiles.

Su Dong never thought that eating someone else's meal would turn out to be a gamble for them.

Gerard Peake? Which team? Never heard of him.

Still playing in La Masia's youth team, but he said he was going to be the best centre-back in the world, he was about your height, and he was almost kicked out of La Masia because of his height.

Su Dong smiled slightly, nodded and said, Don't worry, Gerald Peake, I remember it! If you have a chance to meet on the court, I will definitely help you beat him so that he can't even recognize his father!

Thank you! Messi smiled expectantly.
