"What happened?" Su Dong was surprised and asked quickly, "What happened?"
"You don't know?" The driver was a little confused.
"Hurry up and tell me." Su Dong urged with concern.
"There are two boys and two girls in their family, with a total of four children. The first boy is named Ugo. He also played football. Later he changed his career to become a painter's apprentice. However, he failed to do a good job and ended up hanging out with the random people in the village.
I was arrested by the police not long ago, saying that I was causing trouble after taking drugs."
"Drug taking?" Su Dong was shocked.
This is a very, very serious matter in China, and it can even be said to be ruining one's reputation.
The driver looked at Su Dong's reaction and was a little surprised.
Isn't it just taking drugs?
As for the huge response?
"Don't be nervous. It's okay. I heard that Ronaldo came back and forcibly sent his brother to a drug rehabilitation center."
Even so, Su Dong still had lingering fears.
Living in China since he was a child, the education he received was to keep him away from drugs.
For him, drug addicts should definitely be kept at a distance.
"But, frankly speaking, the situation is not optimistic either."
"Why?"
"Ask around, who doesn't know Falcao Village? There are immigrants here. The houses are social welfare houses built by the government and rented to them at very low prices. Most of the villagers rely on tourist areas.
Work, but there are also some people who have nothing to do and make trouble all day long. Ugo hangs out with these people all day long, and he might get involved again one day."
When he said this, the driver reminded Su Dong with a serious face.
"Alcohol and drugs are very common in Falcao Village. Drunks and drug addicts can be seen at any time, so after you enter the village, go directly to their house and don't wander around."
The driver also kindly reminded Su Dong.
Su Dong nodded blankly, feeling really shocked by this incident.
This should be the reason why Ronnie took a week off not long ago and was nowhere to be seen.
Even if Su Dong and Jose Semedo tried their best, they never imagined that it would be because of his brother's drug abuse.
This kind of thing seems to be very common in Madeira. Judging from the driver's tone, it seems that if there is no trouble, taking drugs will be fine.
But for Su Dong, who had lived in China since childhood, it was really shocking.
Thinking of Ronnie again, Su Dong suddenly felt that everyone has their own difficulties.
No wonder he had to save money and save his fifty euros monthly pocket money to buy a Sony game console for his family.
Ultimately, I just want to kill time for my brother and prevent him from becoming addicted to drugs again.
…
As minor celebrities in Funchal, Roni's family also has a lot of gossip circulating here.
It turned out that his father had participated in the Portuguese war in Africa. Although he returned safely, he suffered from the sequelae of the war. For so many years, he had been anesthetizing himself with alcohol.
"It is said that he was even late for the baptism of Ronaldo, his own son, because he went to drink."
There is also Ronny's mother. It is said that she was sent to an orphanage since she was a child and suffered all kinds of abuse. Later, she finally met Aveiro and fell in love with her. As a result, her husband was sent to the battlefield at a young age. After he came back, he borrowed money all day long.
Alcohol numbs oneself.
It can be said that she raised four children single-handedly.
Ronnie's eldest sister and brother have not read many books. The second sister has read books, but not much.
It is not an exaggeration to describe their family as impoverished.
In other words, almost all families living in Falcao Village are impoverished.
And Su Dong could feel that Ronnie almost carried their family's hopes.
If he cannot become a professional player, then his parents, siblings, will be like the rest of Falcao Village, and the family will never be able to escape this tragic fate.
If he hadn't come here and heard this from the taxi driver, Su Dong would have never known that Ronnie, who always showed himself arrogant and confident, had such a life experience hidden behind him.
Perhaps, his arrogance and self-confidence are just disguises, and he never lets his true heart show to others.
This should also be a kind of protection for oneself.
…
When Su Dong arrived at Falcao Village in a taxi, the driver stopped the car at the intersection.
As soon as he got off the car, a beautiful woman in her twenties on the roadside looked at him for a while, then came up to him and asked if he was Su Dong?
Su Dong nodded hurriedly, and after asking, he found out that this was Ronnie's second sister.
The two took their things out of the trunk and walked along the narrow village road to Ronnie's house.
This is a two-story house, exactly like the surrounding houses. It should be, as the driver just said, a social welfare house built by the government.
As soon as you walk in, the strong smell of alcohol hits your face.
In the living room, Ronnie's father was already drunk early in the morning.
Later, Su Dong met Ronnie's mother and brother. The latter was very skinny, just like the drug addict Su Dong saw on TV.
Su Dong did not stay at Ronnie's house for too long. After all, he was on leave and declined the hospitality of Ronnie's family. Su Dong returned to the intersection and took the car back to the hotel.
Along the way, he was thinking about Ronnie's family.
Everyone has a compelling reason to succeed.
Jose Semedo has it, Ronnie has it, Sudong has it too.
Su Dong still clearly remembers that when his father decided to spend all his money to send him abroad, many people around him laughed at him, thinking that he was wishful thinking. It was impossible for China to produce a football genius, let alone Su Dong.
But his father believed in him and was willing to give everything for Su Dong.
Su Dong has never told anyone that he is determined to become a professional player. He just wants to return to his hometown and face his father one day and tell him personally that his original choice was a wise one.
In this way, his father can stand upright in front of relatives and friends.
Of course, now, Su Dong wants more.
He longs to be like Jader and win the cheers and applause of the fans.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He knows that he is still far away from this goal, but he is willing to work hard and try for it.
He hopes that he can move forward like Ronnie, rather than being crushed like Jose Semedo.
Thinking of this, Su Dong's eyes became firmer.

…………
The match against Maritimo II was held in the stadium at the training base and did not attract many fans.
There were only a few people in the stands, probably only three or four hundred people.
The competition was quite intense.
The second team of Maritimo played at home and showed an aggressive momentum from the beginning. It was indeed slightly better in terms of strength. Not long after the start, they took advantage of a defensive mistake in the competition and scored a goal.
After that, Athletic Club will barely gain a foothold and struggle to maintain its defense.
Maritimo's second team continued to maintain pressure on the scene, constantly planning opportunities and striving to score again.
This time Pereira did not replace Su Dong at halftime. Instead, he replaced Su Dong in the 60th minute of the second half. However, he did not replace the team's center and switched to a two-forward tactic.
Although he came on the field late, Su Dong still performed very positively after he came on the field.
The center is still at the forefront, while Su Dong actively retreats to support and pull out to the side. He has a relatively wide running range and avoids direct physical confrontation with the opponent's defender. This is not his advantage.
The teammates are obviously more familiar with Su Dong, and they have a better understanding whether they are passing to him or receiving his passes.
Especially Canelas.
When the game reached the 73rd minute, the score was still zero to one.
Su Dong once again ran back from the front, received a pass from his teammate, and passed it back to Canelas who ran into the open space.
While passing the ball, Su Dong, who had his back to the goal, stretched out his left hand and pointed to his team's right side.
Canelas understood this and immediately turned to dribble the ball to the right. He saw a gap in the defense of Maritimo's second team on the left, and Balu was already ready to go.
The midfielder of the Athletic Club hesitated and passed the ball diagonally to the right. Balu sprinted as fast as he could, broke away from the defense, caught up with the ball on the right side of the penalty area, passed the ball and sent it into the goal.
restricted area.
Center Sammy tried to rush over to grab the first point, but he collided with the opponent's center back, and neither of them could grab the point.
The ball tremblingly fell towards the center.
Su Dong, who had just retreated to respond, turned around and sprinted. When he saw Sami going to grab the front point, he immediately changed direction and rushed to the middle, ready to respond to the second point at any time.
Sure enough, the ball fell to the center, and Su Dong rushed over. Facing the falling ball, he shot with his right foot directly into the lower left corner of the opponent's goal.
Scored a goal!
The referee's whistle sounds when the goal is valid!
Su Dong was so excited that he turned around and rushed out of the penalty area, sprinting towards the sidelines.
Being in an away game, there were no cheers from the fans or even boos from the opponent's fans, but this did not hinder Su Dong's excitement at all, because this was his second official game.
He scored again!
…
"yes!"
Head coach Pereira clenched his fists excitedly.
Su Dong's positioning this time was really smart. He did not choose to compete with Sami for position, but chose to fight for the second spot. What he didn't expect was that the two people in the front spot actually missed.
This is certainly luck, but is it not strength?
"I scored two goals in a row." Pereira shook his head with a wry smile.
Su Dong's performance surprised them more and more. This was certainly a surprise, but it also meant that the day when they lost Su Dong was getting closer.
It is said that inspecting Sudong has been put on the schedule of the Belerenses scouting team.
…
Players from the Athletic Club also rushed over to celebrate Su Dong's goal.
It is not easy to score goals in two consecutive games, especially for a sixteen-year-old player.
"What a beautiful fight!" Martello ran over and hugged Su Dong, praising with a smile.
"Work harder and try to score another goal." the captain encouraged.
Su Dong smiled and nodded.
However, Maritimo's second team reacted quickly and did not give Su Dong a chance to continue to perform.
In the end, Sporting CP drew 1-1 away from Maritimo II.
Su Dong scored in two consecutive rounds.
