143 Football Philosophers

3-4 away game, 4-4 total score, Sporting Lisbon eliminated Besiktas with away goals!

This piece of news quickly detonated the entire European football world after the game.

This is a rare reversal. When trailing 4-0, he actually scored three goals in a row to achieve the final reversal. This has to be said to be very shocking, especially to create such a shocking reversal.

The protagonist.

Sudong passed, shot and planned. Sporting Lisbon's three goals were all inseparable from him. This made him the most shining player in the game. Even players such as Quaresma and Ronnie were overpowered by him.

Underneath.

While the whole of Europe, and even China, was excited by this shocking reversal and shocked by Sudong's wonderful performance, the entire Sporting Lisbon team was making a long journey back to Lisbon.

By the time they returned to Lisbon, it was already the night after the game.

After the team returned to Alcoschetti, it was disbanded on the spot. Except for head coach Boloni and several core coaching staff members, all other coaching staff and staff were off work.

Boloni and others also have to go to a meeting with the technical team to discuss the gains and losses of this away game.



"I'm back!"

Personal trainer Nuno Cruz dragged his exhausted body, opened the door to his house, put the keys on the entrance cabinet while changing his shoes, and shouted weakly.

"Back!" His wife poked her head out of the kitchen and smiled at him.

The children were doing homework in the living room. When they heard their father's voice, they all ran over quickly and hugged him from left to right, appearing very intimate. This made Nuno Cruz, who was exhausted both physically and mentally, couldn't help but look happy.

A satisfied smile.

"How have you behaved during the past few days when I've been away from home?"

"Be good!" the two children shouted in unison.

"It's him who often plays with my toys secretly."

"It was you who broke my robot."

"You broke it yourself..."

"It's you……"

When Nuno Cruz saw the two babies starting to fight again, instead of being angry, Nuno Cruz felt very happy. He touched the children's heads affectionately and signaled them to go do their homework quickly, while he went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes.

.

He took a nice hot bath and changed into his home pajamas. When he went downstairs, his wife and children were already waiting for him in the restaurant while eating. There were paella and several other home-cooked dishes on the table, all of which were served by Nuno.

· Cruise and the kids’ favorite food.

"To be honest, the food in Turkey is not delicious. I really miss the taste at home." Nuno Cruz said with a wry smile.

Not only him, but no one in the entire Sporting Lisbon team is used to it.

"The hotel we stayed in was slightly better than the one we stayed in in Greece. After all, we had more time to prepare this time, but it was still not good. The club had a limited budget and the hotel's soundproofing was so bad that we couldn't sleep well all night."

At the end of the sentence, Nuno Cruz couldn't help but shake his head.

"It's really dangerous to be able to reverse Besiktas in an away game this time!"

After hearing this in silence, the wife took over with a smile, "Today, the whole of Lisbon is lively. People are celebrating everywhere early in the morning. The game is all about this game in newspapers and on TV. Even the Lisbon sports clubs in the market

Fans are discounting, celebrating the team's comeback and promotion, saying that last night's game was too dangerous."

"Who says it's not the case?" Nuno Cruz sighed softly, "Fortunately, there is Su Dong."

When it comes to Sudong, Nuno Cruz's eyes show a hint of pride.

After being together for a year, he was really satisfied with Su Dong. He even felt that Su Dong would become his proudest work.

Seeing her husband's expression, the wife thought of something and hesitated, but finally spoke.

"Professor Manuel Sergio came to see me."

Nuno Cruz was stunned for a moment, his expression a little complicated.

Professor Manuel Sergio is the dean of the School of Human Dynamics at the University of Lisbon. As early as the 1970s, he was already an authoritative expert in sports science in Portugal. He has published many papers and articles in some authoritative newspapers and periodicals.

Research results.

The most famous among them, and the one with the most far-reaching influence on Portuguese football, is that he proposed the concept and theory of human body dynamics, which triggered a revolution in Portuguese football. He advocated studying football as a science, and it was a subject involving

to interdisciplinary subjects such as body and psychology.

Professor Sergio's two most proud disciples are Carlos Queiroz, the current right-hand man of Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson, who coached the Portuguese youth team and created the golden generation. He is an academic and graduated from Lisbon Sporting High School.

College, which later became the School of Human Dynamics of the University of Lisbon.

After graduation, Queiroz stayed at the school to teach and began to engage in youth training. Among the students who listened to his lectures was Jose Mourinho.

In addition to Queiroz, the person who had the greatest influence on Mourinho was Professor Sergio. The football concept that the latter advocated to consider all aspects of physical, technical, tactical and psychological aspects profoundly influenced Mourinho, so much so that

Many people now say that Mourinho is actually a psychological master.

Queiroz created the golden generation of Portugal's youth training and made outstanding contributions. Mourinho's coaching of Porto is quite famous. Apart from the two of them, most of the football coaches in Portugal have studied and researched with Professor Sergio.

He is not a professional football person, but he is known as a "football philosopher".

Nuno Cruz's wife teaches at the University of Lisbon, which is why they live near the school.

"What does he want from you?" Nuno Cruz asked.

"Professor Sergio thinks that your training of Su Dong and Ronnie this year has been very successful. He hopes that you can consider teaching at the University of Lisbon. The School of Human Kinetics is willing to set up relevant courses for you and provide you with funds.

Continue to study."

"full time?"

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The wife nodded, reached out and gently held her husband's warm hand, "Nuno, I know that you are invested in Su Dong."

He has learned a lot, and he is indeed outstanding, but you have also seen that being a personal coach has to often follow the team to away games. It is too hard and tiring. Sometimes you play away games continuously, and the children and I cannot see you for several days.

."

"Didn't you always hope to teach in a university, go to and from get off work on time every day, be at home with your children on weekends, and live a relaxed and comfortable life? Isn't this good?"

Nuno Cruz rubbed his thumb on the back of his wife's delicate hand. This was indeed what he had expected, but that was a year ago, when he could not find a job. His biggest wish was to teach at the University of Lisbon

.

If the Institute of Human Kinetics had come to find him at that time, he would have flocked to it.

But now...

"I know you and the children have worked hard this year." Nuno Cruz said softly.

"Then you agreed?" the wife asked happily.

Nuno Cruz shook his head, "Please help me tell Professor Sergio that I am very grateful for his trust. I can agree to teach at the University of Lisbon, but not full-time. I only accept to take time out in my free time."

Go to class, because the job I want most now is to help Su Dong continue to improve."

The wife was very surprised when she heard this. This was different from the husband in her impression.

In her memory, her husband should be a very family-oriented man, and she never imagined that he would be rejected.

"You know, Su Dong is the first player I trained. He is very special. He is full of Eastern mystery and seems to have endless potential. Many times, I feel that his potential has been almost tapped.

But it didn’t take long for him to show his shocking potential again.”

"I don't know if he is a legendary genius, but I really feel that with him, I may be able to realize my original ideal. He even gave me a feeling that when I look back in the future, he

It would be remiss of me not to be the best professional player I can be."

"Can you understand how I feel?"

The wife looked at her husband blankly, she understood a little bit.

This is actually like the feeling of a teacher facing a talented student and trying his best to cultivate him into a talented student.

She had heard her husband praising Su Dong more than once, thinking that he was diligent and always cooperated meticulously, which gave her husband a feeling of being able to put into practice what he had learned.

As a personal trainer for professional players, he is indeed very tired and hard-working. He often travels long distances, flies thousands of kilometers to play away games, sleeps in hotels with poor soundproofing, and eats exotic food that is not to his liking at all...

But so what?

All of these are more satisfying than watching the players you have trained grow step by step. Are you still more excited? Are you more proud?

"I understand, I will convey your message to Professor Sergio."

Nuno Cruz nodded happily.

He knew that he might have missed a very good opportunity, but he was even more eager to show what he had learned on Su Dong and train Su Dong to become the best professional player in the world.

This is far more meaningful than letting him stay and teach in the university.

Even from a utilitarian point of view, as long as Su Dong plays well and becomes famous, is Nuno Cruz afraid that he will not have better opportunities?

Professor Sergio looked down on him at first, but what about now?

In the final analysis, it was not because of his talent, but because Su Dong's success made people see the value of his talent.

The more successful Su Dong is, the higher his value is.

He understood this clearly.



Su Dong didn't know that such a conversation had happened at Nuno Cruz's house.

He worked hard every day according to the training plan of his personal trainer, and gradually it became a part of his life, a habit, such as one hour of yoga every morning and evening.

Nuno Cruz is preparing a summer training plan for him, and this summer, Su Dong plans to return to China.

He hasn't been back for two years and must go home for a visit.

Nuno Cruz also said that this summer's training and next season's training will be more intense than this season.

This also indirectly proves that Su Dong has indeed been making progress.
