213 Football is everything!

The straight-line distance from Barcelona to Valencia is less than 300 kilometers.

After Su Dong had dinner with Messi, he embarked on the return journey with Aimar.

As for the Valencia bus, it went back not long after the game. Since the national team matches are coming up in the next two weeks, many players who are rushing back to play for the national team take a plane directly from Barcelona.

This is also the reason why Su Dong can stay and have dinner with Messi.

On the way back, Aimar told Su Dong a lot about Messi, such as his condition. This also made Su Dong better understand this "kid" he had just met and sympathize with his situation.

If Ronnie is trapped by his family background and is forced to persevere on the road of football, then Messi is trapped by his illness. He has no choice. Only Barcelona is willing to pay the high medical expenses for him.

.

Of course, Barcelona is not doing this out of charity, but because they see the potential in Messi and are willing to make a big bet on it. If Messi’s potential is not seen, Barcelona will not hesitate to sell him.

Expelled from La Masia.

This is why Messi did not dare to take that step easily and had to accept the huge liquidated damages and nine-year contract offered by Barcelona. He could only do this!

"For club operators, football is a business; for fans, football is entertainment; for media reporters, football is a tool to attract readers; for many players, football is a hobby.

It’s a means of making a living…”

"But for people like Messi, football is the only hope for their family!"

Su Dong kept nodding.

Ronnie is like this, Messi is like this too, they both carry so much that they have to try their best to play football.

If they cannot play on a professional football field, their end will be very tragic.

Thinking of this, Su Dong suddenly missed Ronnie very much.

That kid doesn't seem to be doing well in the UK.



Aimar suffered a muscle strain.

This is not only the diagnosis given by the Valencia team doctor, but also the conclusion given by Nuno Cruz.

Su Dong's personal physiotherapist Grant Downing developed a detailed rehabilitation plan for Aimar. The Valencia team doctor also agreed with this plan and said that if it goes well, Aimar can fully recover during the two weeks of national team matches.

, and get back into shape to participate in the competition two weeks later.

Aimar also decided to follow Grant Downing for restorative training, but Su Dong took this opportunity to propose that Aimar could strengthen physical training, especially muscle strength training.

This made Aimar hesitate and even resist.

As a passionate Latin American player, Aimar has a natural resistance to the gym.

Su Dong was good at persuading, and he brought in Nuno Cruz as a lobbyist, and even promoted Vicente in the end.

"I guarantee that as long as you strengthen your physical training, Vicente will not be able to run away. This kid is fast, has been violated a lot, and injuries are common. If you don't strengthen your physical training, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later."

So, the two cutest guys with the height difference in Valencia got together and conspired for half a day, and came up with a conspiracy to drag Vicente into the water. In the end, they laughed mischievously.

Ghost horse.

So much so that Vicente, who was training with the Spanish national team, couldn't help but shudder, feeling baffled.

"Am I sick?" Vicente hurriedly ran to the team doctor for examination.

…………

…………

On the evening of October 11th, the Restaro Stadium in Lisbon, Portugal.

When the referee blew the final whistle, more than 6,000 Portuguese fans cheered for the visiting team Albania, with roars of dissatisfaction among the fans.

"Scolari get out!!"

The number of fans attending the game was small because it was a game of great disparity.

While all the national teams in Europe were fighting desperately for the right to qualify for the European Cup, the host Portugal advanced easily and arranged a warm-up game at home with an opponent that was far weaker than itself.

But the crux of the problem is that this warm-up doesn't seem to be going well.

One to two, this is the score at the end of the first half.

After the opening, Portugal launched a massive attack on Albania. In just seven minutes, Figo received an assist from Paulo Ferreira on the right and opened the scoring for Portugal.

But just five minutes later, Albania successfully equalized the score.

Before the end of the first half, Albania scored another victory and reversed the score.

This angered the fans at the scene. They shouted frantically for Scolari to be dismissed from get out of class, and at the same time cheered for the away team.

Portugal's stars seemed to be playing absent-mindedly, especially the two young players who Scolari had high hopes for, Cristiano Ronaldo and midfielder Thiago.

So, during the halftime break, Scolari changed three players in one go.

Benfica winger Simao replaced Cristiano Ronaldo and partnered with Pauleta and Figo in the striker. Hugo Viana replaced Thiago and partnered with Costinha and Rui Costa in the midfield.

.

Ricardo Carvalho replaced Jorge Andrade and partnered with Cotto as a central defender.

After some operations, Portugal began to exert strength in the second half.

Simao, Rui Costa and Pauleta scored successively. Although Albania also pulled a goal back, Miguel soon sealed the victory for Portugal.

In the end, Portugal defeated the visiting Albania 5 to 3.

But the entire game process was unsatisfactory.

Even though they had won the game, the fans at the scene were still very dissatisfied with Scolari.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who came on the field but only played the first half, became the most depressed person in the game.

Because his rival Simao scored immediately after coming on as a substitute to equalize the score for Portugal.



Ronnie carried his luggage depressedly and walked out of the national team's training camp.

In October, Portugal only arranged one warm-up match and disbanded after the match.

Walking out of the training camp, Ronnie's face was full of depression.

Even though he won, he didn't enjoy the game at all because he performed so poorly.

Whether in Manchester United or the Portuguese national team, he did not play ideally.

Needless to say, he didn't play in the two games of the Portuguese national team in September. He finally played in October, but his performance was a mess, which made him doubt his prospects in the national team.

Simang is more mature and more stable.

The same is true at Manchester United.

At the beginning of the season, Ferguson arranged for him to appear as a substitute many times, but after only two rounds, he was arranged to become the team's main force.

But in the last two rounds, he was first included in the squad against Leicester but did not play. In the last Premier League game before the national team match, he was not even included in the squad.

Although he played the entire game against Stuttgart and had one assist, the team lost 2-1 away from home.

It can be said that Ronnie's old habit of being too attached to the ball and having too flashy playing style has made him controversial.

British fans don't like this type of style. They like it to be full of speed, explosiveness, simplicity, directness, and roughness!

Sometimes Ronnie thinks that if Su Dong goes to the Premier League, his Barty GOL will definitely make the fans happy.

But he...



Dudu!!

Just when Ronnie was feeling worried, two car horns suddenly sounded in front of him, startling him.

When he raised his head, he saw a black car parked in front of him. Behind the open left and right doors, there were Su Dong and Pepe standing respectively, looking at him with smiles.

"Brother, long time no see!" Su Dong shouted.

Ronnie saw Su Dong's smile and listened to his greetings. Suddenly, his nose felt sour. He was full of grievances and wanted to talk to his best friend, but for some reason, he held back.

Sniffing hard, Ronny forced the tears back into his eyes. He smiled and ran towards Su Dong with long strides.

"Damn brat, why didn't you call me in advance when you were coming?" Ronnie threw away his luggage, hugged Su Dong hard, and pointed at Pepe from afar.

Pepe is still playing in the Portuguese Super League, so there are still many opportunities for the two to meet.

"Isn't this a surprise for you?" Su Dong said with a smile.

"Go away, you almost scared me to death." Ronnie said angrily.

Three best friends who hadn't seen each other for months met again and started chatting on the street.

It wasn't until they saw other international players walking out that they quickly got in the car and left.

If we really meet Figo and others, there will definitely be another round of pleasantries, and we can't expect to get together quietly for a long time.

"Pepe!"

"arrive!"

"At full speed, attack Romario!"

"receive!"

"Today, everything you two eat and drink is mine!"

"Got it!" Ronnie and Pepe shouted in unison.

The three of them sat in the car laughing and rushed towards the city center.

After his performance last season, Pepe re-signed a contract with Sporting Lisbon, and his salary was significantly increased. Now he also rents a house in Lisbon, brings his family over, and buys a car.

Quite petty bourgeoisie.

However, the one who did the best was Su Dong.

Apart from anything else, since the start of La Liga, he has scored in six consecutive rounds and scored eight goals. Such a record is quite rare not only in La Liga, but also in the entire European football world.

Nowadays, the whole of Europe knows that there is an upstart like Sudong in Valencia.

Under such circumstances, it is only natural for Su Dong to treat guests.

The three brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they rarely got together. They ate at Romario Seafood Restaurant for nearly three hours, chatting while eating. There seemed to be endless topics to talk about, but nothing seemed to get started.

Su Dong never mentioned his situation in La Liga, and Ronnie refused to talk about his experiences in the Premier League. Everyone who was happy or unhappy seemed to be trying to avoid it, especially Ronnie.

he's changed!

In the past, he would complain on the phone, but now, when we meet in person, he doesn't even say a word.

Su Dong understood that the arrogant Ronnie didn't want him to see his unsatisfactory side, so he never talked about it and only talked about the happy things in the past.

Finally, we got excited about chatting, so we just called Quaresma, Ugo Viana and others who happened to be in Lisbon, and we went to a sky bar near the Park of Nations to get together.

Just like a few months ago.
