When Su Dong took a shower and changed clothes in the locker room, and walked out with a duffel bag on his back, Jose Semedo rushed over unceremoniously and grabbed his neck with force, looking like I was so envious and jealous.
Toothache.
"Be quiet and score twice. You're not a bad boy."
Su Dong smiled from ear to ear and let Semedo hold him, which was not uncomfortable anyway.
"It's not bad, it didn't embarrass me." Ronnie nodded pretendingly.
At this time, Su Dong almost kicked out and kicked this bumbling guy to death.
Fortunately, Ronnie had already guessed that he had this intention, so he stayed far away and refused to come close.
By this time, most of the fans at the sports club had left, but no one noticed the three of them.
They played around outside the stadium for a while, then left arm in arm.
"Where to go next?" asked Jose Semedo.
Their youth team also has a game, but it's not today, and they have taken leave in the afternoon, and they will be in trouble if they go back.
"Let's eat." Su Dong said matter-of-factly, "Don't you want to treat me to dinner?"
"When did I say I wanted to treat you to dinner?" Jose Semedo asked inexplicably.
"Just before the game, didn't you shout that you wanted to invite me to Indendent?"
After hearing this, Ronnie and Semedo looked at each other and laughed in unison.
This guy doesn't even know.
"Come on, Sue, that's a place to have fun, not a place to eat." Ronnie shook his head.
“Isn’t the Romario Seafood Restaurant over there?”
"Yes," Semedo replied, "but the most famous thing there is not the seafood restaurant, although there are many restaurants founded by immigrants from Asia, Africa and the Americas, because most of them are apartments and hotels."
Su Dong still didn't react.
Seeing his appearance, Ronnie smiled helplessly and shook his head, urging Semedo, "Tell him, tell him quickly."
Jose Semedo laughed so hard that he almost died, "That is the most famous red light district in Lisbon. Do you understand what a red light district is?"
Su Dong is not stupid, he doesn't understand the red light district.
After figuring it out, he immediately understood why Martello didn't tell him.
This is a bit embarrassing!
It’s so embarrassing!
"How dare you play tricks on me!" Su Dong flew towards Semedo with a kick. The Cape Verdean boy didn't have time to dodge and was directly kicked in the butt.
Semedo screamed and ran away as fast as he could, constantly shouting for mercy.
In fact, whether it was a seafood restaurant or a red light district, Semedo had no money to hire Su Dong.
He can get a monthly subsidy of about two hundred euros from Sporting Lisbon, but most of this money has to be handed over to his parents to supplement the family's income, because their family is really poor and they have many brothers and sisters.
Ronnie was even worse.
His subsidy is quite large, with a monthly guarantee of three hundred euros. But the problem is that the money never passes through his hands. The club transfers it directly to his mother, and his mother will give him five hundred euros every month.
Ten euros pocket money.
Therefore, he is actually not well-off at all.
Let alone having fun, the three paupers don't even have enough money to have a seafood dinner.
After some final discussion, the result was...
…
"I told you a long time ago that Su is a good person."
At the edge of the indoor court at Edouard VII Park, Jose Semedo gnawed on a sandwich that Su Dong had exchanged for his soccer championship value and pretended to buy it outside, praising Su Dong vaguely.
Ronnie, on the other hand, was chewing bread, drinking beef, and nodded his head in agreement.
Recently, he was with Su Dong every day, and Su Dong was basically responsible for three meals a day.
The food is quite simple, just takeaways, but the taste is very good, and there are some twists in every meal, so Ronnie never gets tired of eating it.
Why have you never heard of such delicious takeout before?
Ronnie always asked Su Dong which store he bought it from, but Su Dong always told him not to ask so many questions.
"If you want to eat, come to me, why bother buying it yourself?"
And every time, Su Dong sneaked out to buy it by himself, not letting Ronnie follow him at all.
This made the young man from Madeira very touched, but also a little ashamed, because he was embarrassed to ask Su Dong to treat him every time.
As the saying goes, eat people with soft mouths and take people with short hands.
Because he has always been eating Su Dong, Ronnie would come over to practice with Su Dong whenever he had time. At the same time, he also tried his best and tried every means to help Su Dong improve.
"Frankly speaking, your speed of progress is indeed impressive." Ronnie gave Su Dong a rare thumbs up.
When he first met Su Dong, he thought Su Dong was just an amateur player who was diligent and hardworking at best, but he never thought he could improve so quickly.
Up to now, he feels that Su Dong has the strength to be the main force of the first team in Sporting CP. Even in Sporting Lisbon's youth training camp, it is probably no problem for the U16 to be the main player, and even the upper age groups can gain a foothold.
"That's because you taught me well." Su Dong casually threw out a flattery.
Ronnie was not polite and accepted Su Dong's praise calmly.
"There are also Mr. Pontes and Mr. Naray. I should really thank them if I have the opportunity." Su Dong is grateful to these two youth training experts who have never met before. Many of their training methods have greatly helped him.
Not to mention some training items, Pontes' physical training is very practical for him.
There is no need to go to the gym, it can be done in the dormitory, and it is relatively safe. It is no problem to practice alone.
"Don't worry, I'll call them later." Ronnie patted Su Dong on the shoulder and said with a smile.
…
After eating and drinking, the three of them had nothing else to do.
In fact, whether you are a professional player or a youth training player, if you do not violate the rules, life will be really boring.
Especially when it comes to the adult team, it becomes even more boring.
You can't just eat whatever you want, you have to pay attention to balanced nutrition, and you even have to control your preferences in many cases and eat some foods that you hate very much, not to mention tobacco and alcohol, and you can't touch anything with self-discipline.
Private life is also very troublesome.
Not to mention anything else, even a player like Jose Semedo, who is not top-notch in the youth team, has a lot of women when he walks outside. Fans and reporters flock to him, but which one of them does not have a purpose?
Ronnie has been persuading Semedo because he knows this.
It’s not that Semedo doesn’t know it, but this kind of life is indeed quite attractive.
As a professional player, if you follow the rules completely, you will be like an ascetic.
Instead of going back to the dormitory and staring into each other's eyes, it would be better to continue practicing at King Edward VII Park.
Not only did Ronnie stay to practice with Su Dong, Jose Semedo also rarely took the initiative to stay.
Although Su Dong had just played a game and consumed a lot of energy, under the influence of Manniu, he walked from the home court to King Edward VII Park and rested for a while, and his energy had basically recovered.
The three of them practiced in the park until around nine o'clock in the evening, then reluctantly said goodbye and dispersed.
…
Back at Don Jose's apartment, Ronnie took a shower first, and then called his family in Madeira.
He has to call his family every day, especially recently, a lot of things have happened at home, which makes him very worried. He is concerned about the progress every day, for fear that something will happen again accidentally.
When Semedo came in after taking a shower, he heard Ronnie's last words.
"Don't worry, second sister, I will go to the mall to buy a game console and send it home, so I won't be bored anymore."
After hanging up the phone, Ronnie called Lionel Pontes again.
Because of Su Dong, the two have been in frequent phone contact recently.
As soon as the call was connected, Ronnie got straight to the point and talked about the afternoon game.
"What? Score twice?" Pontes was shocked on the phone.
Since it is only a Portuguese Second Division game, let alone a live TV broadcast, it is estimated that it will not even be published in tomorrow's newspapers. It would be good to have a score of all Portuguese Second Division games. No one will care about this except the respective fans.
kind of competition.
Therefore, Pontes had never heard any news before, so he was so surprised that he lost his voice.
"Yes, it's really surprising." Ronnie smiled.
Pontes hummed, "It seems that he is progressing very quickly indeed, and his talent is very good."
No one knows that Su Dong can improve his talent. Everyone thinks that he should have good talent to begin with, but he was hindered by poor youth training before. Now he has received formal youth training. Although he is older, he has made progress.
Still very fast.
"If it had been three or four years earlier, he would have definitely become a genius on par with you and Ricardo." Pontes said with regret.
Ricardo is Quaresma, and he is also a player brought out by Pontes.
Ronnie didn't mind, because Su Dong was his best friend. No matter how much Pontes praised Su Dong, he wouldn't mind.
But Quaresma was different, that was his opponent.
"Lionel, I was wondering, is it possible to recommend him to the club?" Ronnie asked with concern.
"Based on his current performance and the speed of improvement during this period, I think Sporting CP will soon be unable to accommodate him, and by then he will definitely go to other higher-level leagues and teams."
As a friend, Ronnie really hopes that Su Dong can come to Sporting Lisbon.
"It's difficult, Ronnie." Pontes shook his head and sighed, "You know, we don't have much interaction with Sporting CP. More importantly, this team belongs to Belerenses.
Satellite club, over the past many years, the players that have emerged from this team have basically gone directly to Belerenses, and only one has gone to Benfica."
Ronnie was a little disappointed when he heard that. He knew that the satellite club had a contractual relationship.
There was some regret in his heart. Why wasn't Su Dong at Sporting Lisbon's satellite club?
It would be much easier to come directly to Sporting Lisbon.
Now that I have gone to Sporting CP, it will be much more troublesome to come to Sporting Lisbon.
The best-case scenario is that neither Belerenses nor Benfica are interested in Sudong, and Sporting Lisbon will directly pursue it.
But is this possible?
A player that could interest Sporting Lisbon, would Belerenses and Benfica not be interested?
Looking at it from another perspective, as long as Sporting Lisbon shows interest, Belerences and Benfica will compete for it no matter what.
This is also part of professional football.
