After Su Dong saw off Garcia and Subilac and returned to the training ground, Pepe asked curiously.
This guy is also very gossipy.
"Javier Subirac."
Pepe looked around blankly and found that no one around him had heard of this name.
This is what professional football is like, it updates and iterates too fast.
Except for a very small number of players whose names remain in history, who can cherish the stars of the past?
It would be nice to be able to remember the stars from five or ten years ago.
Eighties?
Su Dong and the others had just been born at that time. Who had heard of Subilac?
"He is said to be a famous figure in Valencia. I don't know why he is here." Su Dong introduced.
Pepe suddenly laughed and asked: "You are not really here to buy Tonito, are you?"
Su Dong also reacted and laughed, "It's possible."
Quaresma also shook his head and laughed, but the two young players Nani and Moutinho were confused.
Isn’t it normal for Valencia to fall in love with Tonito?
You know, the Spanish midfielder has performed well this season.
Tonito often boasted in the team that he was born in Tenerife, and now Valencia's head coach Benitez once coached Tenerife. At that time, Benitez almost bought him back to the Canary Islands.
go.
The Spanish midfielder's mantra is, "He still misses me to this day."
The tone of his voice is quite a bit like that of a passionate man recalling his romantic past, which makes people want to laugh every time they listen to it.
But let's not talk about it. Tonito has performed well for two consecutive seasons, but it is unlikely to join Valencia.
"They already have Amar," Quaresma reminded.
Argentinian genius Aimar is currently the core of Valencia's offense and is heavily used by Benitez.
"If it's not Tonito, then is it you?" Pepe looked at Su Dong.
Garcia is a friend of Su Dong. He brought Subilac to Sporting Lisbon, saying it was for Su Dong, which is really possible.
"Don't be kidding, they have a powerful high center in John Carew, and a Spanish center named Mista who came from Tenerife to pursue Benitez. There is no shortage of people in this position." Su
Dong reminded.
At this time, everyone turned their attention to Quaresma.
There is no shortage of players at the center and attacking midfielder positions, and there is no shortage of left wingers. Who doesn't know that Valencia's left winger is Vicente, the main player of the Spanish national team?
Therefore, the most lacking thing may be the right winger.
The current right wingers of the Bat Legion are Angulo and Rufete, but neither of them seems to be satisfactory. If Quaresma is introduced and forms a devil's wing with Vicente, what will happen...
Being kicked like this by everyone, Quaresma was a little overwhelmed.
"I haven't had any contact with any team so far, except..."
Su Dong and others raised their ears, waiting to hear the gossip.
"Barcelona!"
"Barcelona?" Su Dong and others were all moved.
Quaresma nodded, "They have contact with Jorge, but I'm very confused."
"Why?" Pepe was surprised.
That's Barcelona.
Although Barcelona has been in decline in recent years, it is still Barcelona, the super giant of La Liga. How many people can't covet it?
"It is not unprecedented for Barcelona to introduce wingers from our team, such as Figo and Simao."
Everyone nodded.
Figo can be regarded as a successful case of Barcelona's winger recruitment, but he left Barcelona with painful memories because he switched to his arch-rival Real Madrid. So so far, every time Figo returns to Camp Nou, Barcelona fans hit him with a pig's head.
Simao is a failure, and now he has moved to Benfica.
There are successes and failures, which is indeed very worrying.
"The most important thing is Hugo. After he went to Newcastle, he didn't get a chance at all. He couldn't integrate into the rhythm of the Premier League and the Newcastle dressing room. Not only did he not kick the ball, but he also lost his confidence.
I lost my heart and looked very depressed. It is said that I might be loaned back."
Su Dong was also very familiar with Ugo Viana, and he knew that this was another sad story.
He still clearly remembered that in the summer, when Hugo Viana officially joined Newcastle, Su Dong called him to congratulate him. At that time, Viana also told Su Dong that he had in-depth communication with Newcastle coach Robson.
He also mentioned Su Dong and Ronnie, looking forward to the two of them landing in the Premier League as soon as possible and getting together with friends.
At that time, Hugo Viana was full of expectations for his trip to the Premier League, full of passion, and full of hope for the future.
But who would have thought that in just a few months, Viana might be back.
Only those who have played football know how terrible it is when a player loses his confidence.
If you don’t talk about far away, let’s talk about Nikolai.
Does he have the strength?
There is no doubt about it.
Even now, he is stronger than Su Dong.
But he didn't have confidence.
When a player loses self-confidence, it is easy to worry about gains and losses on the court, and then doubt himself. This is very fatal for a football game where the pace of the game is ultra-fast and opportunities are fleeting.
A player without confidence will never succeed.
This is Su Dong’s experience during this period of time.
In his opinion, if there is no improvement in the second half of the season and Hugo Viana's trip to the Premier League fails, the biggest blow to him will not be the wasted year, but the loss of self-confidence.
When Quaresma mentioned this, he was obviously struggling.
Barcelona is a wealthy club, and it is the top wealthy club.
This is the hall that all professional players in the world dream of, and no one will refuse it.
But if you go to Barcelona and can't play football, and you don't get trust and support, what's the use?
Some people choose to take risks and fight hard, while others choose to play it slow and steady, step by step.
In the long journey of life, you are making choices all the time. Who can say that your choice will always be the right one?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! For professional players, the most terrible thing is that making one wrong choice may ruin your career.

No one knows why Garcia and Subilac came to Sporting Lisbon, and no one knows what they talked about with Aurelio. Not even outside media reporters knew they were here.
Things passed quickly.
Su Dong still insists on training every day, but on Christmas Day, he and Pepe had a meal together in the apartment and went out to the city for a while to feel some of the Christmas atmosphere.
On the day before Christmas, Mendes sent a congratulatory message to Su Dong.
His operation finally bore fruit.
During the negotiations with many sports brands such as Reebok, Puma, Nike and Adidas, Mendes finally signed Su Dong with Nike from the United States. This sports brand was very optimistic about Su Dong's prospects and was also willing to invest in Su Dong.
Invest resources into yourself.
The contract is worth 1.5 million euros per year for three years. After three years, Nike has the priority to renew the contract.
This is the second sponsorship contract that Mendes has negotiated for Su Dong.
Prior to this, Su Dong signed a sponsorship contract with Pepsi-Cola. The sponsorship contract was one million euros per year. This was the price Pepsi-Cola offered for NBA Yao Giant, but unlike Nike, this contract lasted for four years.
The two sponsorship contracts earned Su Dong 2.5 million euros in sponsorship fees, and even Su Dong himself was shocked.
Ronnie and Pepe were so surprised that their jaws dropped.
"My dear, I only get six thousand euros every month." Ronnie said with a sad face.
The Madeira boy counted on his fingers for a long time, but as he had never passed a math test, he couldn't figure out exactly how many years Su Dong's two sponsorship contracts would allow him to earn.
Anyway, in the end, there were only two words left in his heart, and he felt tired.
"I don't care, I've got you anyway. From now on when we go out to eat, you'll be the one to treat us!" Ronnie was very sad.
It’s hard to say anything about his career, but when it comes to making money, he can’t even catch up with Su Dong now.
Su Dong was also brave and agreed on the spot.
He knew that without Ronnie, he would not be where he is today, so he would never be stingy with Ronnie.
Pepe and Jose Semedo also have mixed feelings, especially Semedo.
There was a time when he was a bit dissatisfied with Su Dong's poor playing skills, but what was the result?
A year and a half later, Su Dong is now Sporting Lisbon's main center, but he is still hanging out in the second team.
Even when it came to making money, Su Dong was far behind him.
That's 2.5 million euros. If you give it to him, his family will become rich immediately.
When he heard that Sudong had signed two commercial sponsorship contracts, Semedo was determined to work hard and work hard to become stronger.
But this determination quickly disappeared after the beautiful woman called.
"On the road of professional football, it would be difficult for the great Semedo to achieve success, but on the noble road of picking up girls, which is related to the future of mankind and the earth, he has no hesitation, moves forward unswervingly, and is determined to move forward.
, you are truly a role model for our generation!”
Hearing Ronnie's words being so exaggerated and funny, Su Dong and Pepe both laughed.
Damn, don’t you just have more girls and change your girlfriends more frequently?
Is it necessary to be so damaging?
…
Although Sporting Lisbon's jersey sponsor is Reebok, Su Dong's signing with Nike does not violate the team's regulations.
Mendes only needs to go to Sporting Lisbon to handle some formalities in person, and then Su Dong can play wearing Nike shoes.
When they heard that Su Dong signed with Nike and the sponsorship fee was as high as 1.5 million euros, the management of Sporting Lisbon were also shocked.
This is definitely a huge price!
Let alone Sporting Lisbon, looking at the Portuguese Super League and the four major leagues, how many stars can sign such a heavy sponsorship contract?
Several directors of the club even regretted it.
Because when they signed Su Dong, they never thought about signing the image rights.
If they had signed Su Dong's image rights in the first place, they would be able to enjoy profit sharing from every sponsorship contract signed by Su Dong.
But now, Su Dong has obviously realized the commercial value of his portrait rights, so how could he let go so easily?
It was amid this chaos that the players returned one after another and winter break training began.
