The spacious balcony faces the Riverside Park, and in the distance is the Vasco da Gama Cross-Sea Bridge, which looks like a creeping dragon. The scenery is extremely beautiful.
In the gentle breeze, both Pepe and Jose Semedo sat comfortably on their chairs, crossing their legs.
Semedo held a stopwatch in his hand and looked at it from time to time.
"Seven minutes."
"Come on." Pepe shouted with a smile.
There are two yoga mats spread between the two, with a person standing upside down on each mat.
Both Su Dong and Ronny crossed their hands and fingers to protect their heads. Their elbows were the same width as their shoulders. Their wrists, elbows and heads were close to the mat, in a balanced state, and their bodies and legs were straight in a straight line.
This is the king of yoga poses, handstand.
As one of the most difficult postures in yoga, handstand has very high physical requirements on the practitioner, not only the core strength of the waist and abdomen, head strength, and muscle strength of shoulders and arms, but more importantly, the body's balance ability
.
Pepe has also been practicing yoga with Su Dong and Ronnie for almost a year. Although his body muscle strength is very good, his flexibility and balance are insufficient, which makes it difficult for him to achieve the same standards as Su Dong and Ronnie.
Upright handstand.
Every time she sees the two of them doing handstands, Pepe always looks envious.
"Eight minutes." Jose Semedo was in charge of timing.
Su Dong always maintained a gentle breathing rhythm, and his mind was empty.
Elbow stand looks very dangerous, and you will be scared when you first start practicing it, but after practicing for a long time, it is actually nothing.
The wrists, arms and elbows basically bear most of the weight of the body, and the head bears the lightest weight. However, this pose can train the whole body, and the effect is very good. At the same time, it can keep the mind calm, overcome fear, and improve
Self-confidence.
Every time he finished doing a handstand, he would feel a sense of comfort all over his body.
"Nine minutes, keep it up," Jose Semedo shouted.
Su Dong still maintained a straight and stable posture, but Ronnie seemed to be leaning a little.
Slowly, as time passed bit by bit, after ten minutes of hard work, Ronnie came down first.
Su Dong followed closely and came down.
This best friend's move made Ronnie feel quite comfortable.
In fact, he knew that Su Dong could persist for a longer time. For example, he could stand on his head in the room for a long time every morning, but in order to accommodate him, Su Dong ended almost at the same time every time.
Every time, Ronnie smiled and gave him a gentle punch, tacitly understanding what he was doing.
"I heard that Bologna wants Niculai to play in the weekend league." Ronnie took the towel from Jose Semedo and said while wiping his sweat.
Su Dong nodded, he also heard about it.
"This is the direct line, we people can't compare." Ronnie sneered.
In fact, it’s normal to think about it.
Nikolai came to Sporting Lisbon for Bologna. If Bologna didn't protect him, what would others think?
But as Nikolai's competitor, Su Dong must be very unhappy with this differential treatment.
"Don't worry, I don't care at all how he performs in the weekend league, I only care about Porto." Su Dong replied.
"You're right, at least for this season, Nikolai can't shake your main position in any way." Pepe said.
From the Portuguese Super League and the UEFA Cup until now, Sudong's role is obvious to all. Whether it is considered from the perspective of the locker room, or from the perspective of the media and fans, Boloni does not have the courage to win Sudong.
Even if Nikolai is used on the weekend, the reason is just that Su Dong is too tired and needs a good rest to prepare for the second round of the UEFA Cup next week.
In other words, Nikolai came on as Su Dong's substitute.
"Mourinho is very good at organizing defense. Have you figured out how to do it?" Ronnie asked with concern.
Su Dong nodded and sighed, narrowing his eyes slightly and looking straight ahead at the Vasco da Gama Cross-sea Bridge.
"I want to practice my left foot!"
…
After returning to the room, after taking a shower and changing into dry pajamas, Su Dong lay back on the bed.
After closing my eyes and resting my mind, I entered the system store of The Road to the King of Football.
There are two star ability cards placed in the shopping cart, one is Ronaldo's [Flying Fairy], and the other is Maradona's [God's Left Foot]. These two star ability cards are what Su Dong dreams of.
The former is his idol Ronaldo, and the latter is the football king Maradona. They are both extraordinary.
Su Dong today is no longer what he was a year ago.
Now, he has fully developed the skills and physical attributes of a footballer, but unfortunately, his defensive attributes are still a little bit behind, and he has not met the conditions for promotion. He still needs to play a few more games and be more active in defense.
At the current speed, Su Dong believes that upgrading to [Ball Earth] is just around the corner.
Originally, he wanted to wait until he upgraded before redeeming a star ability card, but now it seems that time waits for no one.
Porto under the coaching of Mourinho has really nothing to say about their defensive ability.
Especially Carvalho.
This guy is not tall, but he is very difficult to defend. During the game, he was specifically responsible for Su Dong's right foot.
It can be said that Carvalho played a major role in freezing Soviet Union.
Su Dong also discovered that Porto's defensive focus was on his header and right foot, but not on his left foot. They obviously made sufficient preparations before the game and made targeted arrangements.
But Mourinho had a good plan, and Su Dong also had a trick.
"Don't be too surprised when the time comes!"
Thinking of this, Su Dong chose Maradona's [Left Foot of God].
"Congratulations, you successfully redeemed the star ability card [Left Foot of God]!"
Following a message from the system, Su Dong felt as if he was bathing in the warm spring sunshine, feeling lazy and extremely comfortable.
There seemed to be a warm current in the body, spreading rapidly throughout the body along the blood vessels throughout the body.
Feeling comfortable all over, Su Dong fell asleep unconsciously.
…
When I opened my eyes again, it was already the next morning.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The biological clock made Su Dong wake up on time at 4:30, but what was different from the past was that he lay on the soft bed and was in a daze for a long time.
It was a feeling that was difficult to understand, and he couldn't describe what he was feeling at this moment.
Just like his eyes.
His eyesight has always been very good, but now he seems to have a wider field of vision and sees more things.
And his ears seem to be able to hear more sounds.
Left hand, left foot...
Gradually, Su Dong adapted to this change, and he had a very special feeling.
If a person's body is divided into two parts, the left half seems to be pressed down by something. Seeing, hearing, picking up, and even walking seem to be slower than the right half.
But now, the things that were holding me down were removed, and I felt a sense of relief and relief.
And my brain seems to be spinning faster, and whatever I see, I will have some inspiration that I never had before.
"Could it be that the right side of the brain of left-footed players is really more developed?"
Su Dong was very excited. He had heard of this rumor before but didn't pay much attention to it, but now he felt it for himself.
The left brain controls the right half and is responsible for logical reasoning and mathematical calculations. The right brain controls the left half and is responsible for emotion, rhythm, imagination and inspiration. When both the left and right brains are developed to a certain extent, people will have super-fast reactions.
Originally, Su Dong just wanted to get Maradona's left-foot ability, but he didn't expect that this ability card would also help him develop his right brain. This was definitely an unexpected surprise.
Su Dong lay on the bed for half an hour before he could fully digest the surprise.
Entering the Road to the King of Football, open the personal attribute panel, and the left foot ability is still only 15 points.
This is the result of Su Dong's repeated practice over the past two years.
In other words, limited by the ability of his left foot, he was unable to fully exert the peak strength of Maradona's [God's Left Foot], but it was enough to benefit him a lot, especially the development of his right brain.
…
After getting off the bed, washing up and changing into sportswear, Su Dong did some physical training in the room and practiced yoga for a period of time as usual.
When they went out, Ronnie and Pepe were already waiting in the living room.
"Why is it a little late today?" Ronnie was a little surprised.
Su Dong found an excuse to deal with it.
As usual, the three of them went out early to run and train in the Riverside Park downstairs.
Su Dong still needs some time to adapt to the changes brought about by the development of his right brain, especially through training and competition, but he can already clearly feel the changes.
"Have you noticed that Su seems to be different from usual." Ronnie noticed something strange.
Pepe had thick lines. After looking at it blankly for a while, he shook his head and asked, "What's the difference?"
Ronnie shook his head. He couldn't explain it, but he just felt something was different.
The training is actually the same as usual. For example, Su Dong still likes to perform high-leg sprint training on open grass. This is a training method to improve speed and explosive power. There are also other items to train flexibility and balance.
But at the end of the training, Su Dong added another training to himself, which was to ask Pepe to guard him and focus on his right foot. This proved that he really wanted to strengthen his left foot.
But is it too late?
…………
…………
Over the weekend, the 28th round of the Portuguese Super League.
Sporting Lisbon faces Guimarães at home.
Romanian center Niculai played, and Boloni announced that Sudong and Dong had been fighting on multiple fronts for a long time and were too tired and needed time to rest in preparation for next week's UEFA Cup final.
But Nikolai, who had high hopes, failed to prove himself well in the competition.
In the 14th minute of the opening game, Guimarães scored a sneak attack. It was not until the 61st minute of the second half that Pepe made up for it and equalized the score for Sporting Lisbon with a header from a corner kick.
After that, the game fell into a stalemate until the 75th minute, when Albertini came on to replace Quaresma.
In the final stage of the game, the Italian veteran relied on Ronny's free kick in the frontcourt and used a precise falling ball to reverse the game for Sporting Lisbon.
Two to one!
Sporting Lisbon wins another three points!
On the other side, Porto played with half of their main lineup and defeated Setubal 3-0 at home.
