There is a passage from the President's Stand at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium that leads down to the players' locker rooms.
During the game, this passage is closed and is guarded by dedicated personnel before and after the game.
At this moment, Su Dong and others followed Garcia from this passage to the players' passage.
The young guys from Sporting Lisbon all have a kind of nervousness and excitement on their faces. For them, from the stands to the player tunnel, every inch of the place, no matter how inconspicuous the corner, is unusually fresh, even with a sense of excitement.
An indescribable holiness, as if it had legends written all over it.
Receiving them in the player tunnel was Real Madrid's deputy sports manager, the former Real Madrid legendary superstar and one of the five eagles, Butragueno, who is now the right-hand man of General Manager Valdano.
"Welcome to the Bernabeu, kids!"
When he saw Su Dong and others appearing, Butragueno came up to them with a smile.
Su Dong and others were excited again, this was another legendary figure.
Especially when he held Butragueno's hand, Su Dong wanted to give himself two slaps to calm down.
Why are you so excited?
That's it when you meet the vulture Butragueno. What will it be like when you meet Ronaldo later?
Real Madrid is really a very special team, from the chairman to the management, from the coaching staff to the players, there are legendary stars everywhere.
It is said that Real Madrid president Florentino's wish is to build a team filled with superstars from top to bottom.
The whole world was stunned by this beautiful blueprint!
…
Real Madrid actually welcomes young players like Su Dong and Ronnie to visit the Bernabeu.
For them, this is definitely an excellent opportunity to improve Real Madrid's status in the minds of the players, especially this group of young players with unlimited potential, so when Butragueno received the call from Garcia, he did not hesitate to
Arrangements have been made.
From game tickets to post-game visits, they even invited Su Dong and others to have dinner together, providing one-stop service.
Butragueno took Su Dong and others all the way to the home team's locker room. Assistant coach Tony Grand stood at the door, nodding towards Butragueno from a distance, and reported to Su Dong and others.
with a smile.
"Sorry, there's a meeting going on inside, please wait a moment."
Everyone understands it.
After the game, the locker room often has to summarize the game and reflect on the problems exposed.
After waiting for nearly ten minutes, the door to the locker room was opened from the inside.
Immediately afterwards, Real Madrid coach Vicente del Bosque, who looked a bit like Coach Anzai from Slam Dunk and was affectionately called "Dad" by Real Madrid players and the media, walked out.
"Hey, Emilio." Bosque saw Butragueno.
The vulture stepped forward, said a few words to his father, and pointed at Su Dong and others.
Bosque looked at Su Dong and others with some surprise and walked over.
"Welcome to the Bernabeu." Bosque extended his hand towards Su Dong.
"Thank you. Nice to meet you, Mr. Del Bosque." Su Dong stretched out his hands and shook the Real Madrid coach.
Having won the Champions League twice in three years, Del Bosque is the leading coach in world football today, and his coaching ability is beyond doubt.
"I just watched the game. It was really great. The timing of the substitutions was so clever." Su Dong praised full of praise.
Del Bosque chuckled, "That's because we replaced Ronaldo."
This is true, but it is really a bit modest.
Many people say that Bosque's on-the-spot command is his weakness, but judging from the substitutions just now, both substitutions played a key role. Needless to say, Ronaldo scored twice, and McManaman also came on as a substitute.
Contributed an assist.
Del Bosque made people feel very kind, and his tone of voice was also very comfortable. He didn't have the aura of a big-name coach. Instead, he seemed like an amiable neighbor and grandpa. When he was about to leave, he even specifically explained to Su Dong and others that he wanted to
Rushing to attend the post-match press conference.
All in all, Bosque is a good, wonderful person.
…
Real Madrid's home team dressing room is very spacious.
This is the first impression of Su Dong, Ronnie and others.
The players inside had obviously packed up a long time ago, and some had already changed their clothes. Only Roberto Carlos was shirtless, wearing only a pair of underwear, and his two iconic thick thighs were particularly conspicuous.
Only such a thick thigh can make such a powerful long-range shot.
Real Madrid's dressing room should be visited frequently, so the players have long been used to it.
After seeing Su Dong and others coming in, many players took the initiative to wave.
Su Dong and Ronny originally thought that no one would know them, but they guessed wrong.
Not only had Del Bosque at the door heard of them, but many players in the Real Madrid locker room also recognized them.
Figo even stood up and walked towards them.
"Hey Sue, Ronnie, welcome to our locker room."
"Ha, Luis." Ronnie was very happy that Figo still knew him.
As a former Sporting Lisbon player, Figo occasionally returned to Sporting Lisbon and met Ronnie once or twice.
More importantly, as a Portuguese, he will also pay attention to the news of the Portuguese Super League, so naturally he will be familiar with Su Dong and Ronnie.
"Ronnie, my little brother is also called Ronaldo." Figo joked towards Ronaldo.
"I know, I heard before that Sporting Lisbon also has a Ronaldo." He didn't seem to care about it.
Ronaldo is his name, but there are thousands of people named Ronaldo in the world.
"Are you Su Dong?" Ronaldo seemed to be more interested in Su Dong.
"Yes, Ronnie." Su Dong was a little surprised and his voice was trembling. He finally met his idol in person, "I...I am your die-hard fan. I have liked you since many, many years ago."
"Thank you." Ronaldo smiled and showed his iconic front teeth, which was particularly friendly.
"Luis Suarez made a special trip from Portugal to Milan, Italy last time and asked me for a signed jersey. Is it for you?"
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Well, thank you and Louis very much for the gift, I have always treasured it."
Ronaldo laughed, "Luis is very optimistic about you. He said your nickname is Little God of War, but many people also say you look like Kluivert..."
Su Dong smiled awkwardly. In front of Ronaldo, his false reputation seemed insignificant.
"Believe me, Su, don't chase stars, try to be the brightest star." Ronaldo encouraged.
Su Dong was a little flattered, "Can I do it?"
Ronaldo smiled playfully, "Who knows?"
"I never think about whether I can succeed, or whether I can succeed, because there is no point in thinking about it. Since you have chosen a direction, then don't worry about anything else, just go through the ups and downs!"
Su Dong nodded vigorously. He felt that Ronaldo's words came from the true heart and had weight.
"Let me give you another gift."
After saying that, Ronaldo turned and walked to his closet, took out the jersey and shorts he had just changed into, put it into the laundry bag in the locker room, and turned to hand it to Su Dong.
Su Dong was shocked.
This is the jersey that Ronaldo just wore for his Real Madrid debut and scored twice. It's still wet and full of commemorative value. So you gave it to me?
"Hey, Ronnie, I have a question." Carlos, who was shirtless, smiled and came over from the side. "You gave this wet jersey to someone as a gift. Should he wash it when he gets back or not?"
Everyone in the locker room laughed after hearing this.
Right, to wash or not to wash?
If you wash it, it won't be the original flavor. If you don't wash it... the taste will be too strong, right?
…
I met my idol Ronaldo and chatted for a while.
Then Su Dong ran towards Zidane again.
He was full of praise for Zidane's opening goal. In addition, he often moved around the front of the penalty area. Batty Gol was very threatening in this area, so Su Dong took the initiative to ask this question.
Zidane didn't say much, but told Su Dong that as long as every action was well connected, there was no need to consider defensive players at all.
"It's like waiting to pass a traffic light while driving, and there is a car next to you that wants to get in the way. In fact, as long as you keep a close enough distance from the car in front, the car next to you can't get in at all."
"Your movements are like a car, and the defensive players' movements are like a blocking car. As long as the connection between your movements is tight enough and exquisite, they will have no other choice but to foul."
Can you understand?"
This was said in a profound and simple way, and Su Dong could understand it clearly.
But it’s not easy to do it.
"Take your time, accumulate experience, and keep polishing."
Su Dong just bought the jerseys of Real Madrid players in Real Madrid's honor room. Of course, he took them out and asked them to sign them. Then he took the signed jerseys and took photos with Real Madrid's superstars one by one. Even the veteran central defender Hierro
Neither goalkeepers Casillas nor Su Dong were spared.
At the end of the visit, Raul and Morientes also came to the locker room.
Su Dong also admires these twin stars of Real Madrid and will certainly not miss the opportunity.
At the end, several young players from Sporting Lisbon took a group photo with the Real Madrid players in the locker room.
…
Since they had to fly back to Lisbon overnight, Su Dong and others did not accept Butragueno's dinner invitation.
But Figo offered to take them to the airport because he also had a late flight to report back to the Portuguese national team.
Along the way, Su Dong and Ronnie kept asking Figo some things about Real Madrid and some football problems.
As one of the most successful football players in the world, Figo has an understanding of football that no coach can teach, unless it is a famous star-turned-coach like Cruyff, Ancelotti or Valdano.
But these people's current status is too lofty.
Figo was born in Sporting Lisbon, and he was very fond of Su Dong and others. He treated Su Dong and others with the same mentality as a junior brother, and naturally he knew everything and talked about everything.
From the Bernabeu to the airport, from Madrid to Lisbon.
Along the way, Su Dong, Ronnie and others have learned a lot from Figo and Real Madrid stars.
Especially Su Dong.
The troubled experience of idol Ronaldo made his words more convincing and touched Su Dong even more.
