Although Su Dong showed great enthusiasm for Ronaldinho and Deco, and also spoke highly of Puyol and Xavi, in fact, he deliberately kept a distance from both parties.
This is not because he is unsociable, but a decision made after discussions with Mendes.
Su Dong admires the skills of Ronaldinho and Deco very much. Both of them are outstanding stars on the court. There is no doubt about this, but outside the court, neither Ronaldinho nor Deco are the same.
Good things are fun.
Needless to say about Ronaldinho, as a Brazilian, coupled with his character, it is his nature to be playful. Even in Barcelona, he often appeared in nightclubs and even sponsored a three sisters in Brazil.
band combination.
When Ronaldo held his birthday party, he invited them to perform there.
Deco looks dull, but in fact, he is also very good at playing.
Ronnie's ex-girlfriend Jordana once said that Deco was famous in Porto's nightclubs. He was young, rich and famous. Men like him were the favorites of all nightclub women. How many women took the initiative to throw themselves at him?
hug.
Deco broke up with his childhood sweetheart because he cheated on his mistress.
Su Dong had no interest in knowing about his teammates' private lives, let alone getting involved. He felt more that he should maintain self-discipline and work hard to maintain everything he had gained, rather than squandering it as much as he wanted.
Therefore, whether it is Ronaldinho or Deco, they can become good friends, but it is difficult to become close friends.
Puyol and Xavi are in another situation.
As local youth training in Catalonia, both of them have a strong local flavor and often participate in some local activities, which are far away from Sudong.
He just comes to play football, to improve himself, to use the platform of Barcelona to improve his career. There is no need to get involved in this kind of thing. What is it for?
Because of this, Su Dong deliberately stayed away from downtown Barcelona when choosing a house.
He followed the advice of Messi's father, Jorge, and selected properties in the areas around Gava and Casteldefels.
This area is 30 kilometers away from the city center, and it is a closed villa community halfway up the mountain. It allows Su Dong to stay away from too many distractions after training and competition, and it is also in line with his clean living habits.
Ronaldinho introduced a mansion next door to his home to Su Dong. The rent was not expensive, about 10,000 euros a month. However, Su Dong did not choose to be neighbors with Ronaldinho, but was polite.
He said that he really didn't like that house.
As soon as Su Dong refused, he was rented by Deco.
But Su Dong was not too far away. He chose a single-family villa in the same community, halfway up the mountain.
It covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters and has a private garden of more than 2,000 square meters. It is a two-story modern architectural style villa with an outdoor swimming pool. When swimming, you can overlook the Mediterranean Sea at the foot of the mountain.
The only drawback is that the owner of this house did not allow Su Dong to modify the basement and private garden during the lease period.
With no other option, Su Dong had no choice but to take the plunge and buy the house directly.
It cost him a total of 1.5 million euros, and including the cost of renovation and renovation, the budget was 2 million euros.
For Su Dong, who has just received a signing fee of 1.5 million euros and an annual salary of 5 million euros after tax, this expense is completely affordable.
With this house, Su Dong's personal team will also have an office space.
This is also a major feature of Sudong.
From Sporting Lisbon to Valencia, and now to Barcelona, Su Dong has always been the only one in the team who has a personal coaching team. Even when he was negotiating with Barcelona, he included the personal coaching team in the negotiation scope.
It's not that he can't trust Barcelona's coaching staff, but that he cooperates better with the private team.
…
Messi has been busy with Su Dong these days, like a little follower.
Especially these days when he arrived in Barcelona, his father Jorge even worked as a part-time driver.
Standing on the balcony of the single-family villa that Su Dong just bought, with the mountains at his back, there is no higher villa behind him, and in front of him, he overlooks the entire Castelldefels, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the beach.
, it seems that you can even hear the laughter and laughter coming from the beach.
"What a great place!" Messi praised with envy.
"Then work harder and try to buy a building here in the near future!" Su Dong encouraged.
Messi smiled shyly. He thought about it very much, but the distance was too far and he didn't dare to think too much.
"I have already told the team, and they have agreed to help you customize a body strengthening plan. You must strictly follow the recipes formulated by Dr. Lacasco, and strictly implement the recipes formulated by Nuno Cruz and the others.
With the training plan, I believe that it won’t take long before you can reach a higher level!”
Messi couldn't help nodding and looked at Su Dong gratefully, "Thank you, Su!"
"Why are you being polite?" Su Dong smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Messi's head. This has become a habit.
"If you really want to thank me, give me more passes and assists when you get to the first team!"
"Don't worry, whether it's training or competition, I will definitely help you score more goals!" Messi promised.
He is not an ungrateful person, on the contrary, he knows how to be grateful, so when others left Barcelona, he chose to stay because he was grateful for Barcelona's investment in him over the years.
Now, Su Dong spares no effort to help him, and Messi is very grateful. He secretly promises in his heart that he will follow Su Dong's lead no matter what in the future, help him score more goals, and repay his help to him.
Su Dong smiled and didn't take it to heart.
The gap between Messi and him now is too huge, just like the gap between David Silva and him in Valencia.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Strictly speaking, there is no competitive relationship between them at all.
This made Su Dong's assistance more simple and unsophisticated, and he only helped because of their good friendship with each other.
And whether it was David Silva at the time or Messi now, he could feel this, and his feelings towards Su Dong would become more sincere.
Help without any interest is the most touching!

Barcelona’s training location this summer was Peralada, about two hours’ drive from Barcelona.
This is a small village located in Figueres, Girona Province, northeast of Barcelona. It is most famous for its wine and music festival. In April this year, after the Chinese team lost a 0-6 warm-up match to Barcelona, it is where they live.
here, and depart from here for France.
In the King's Cup last season, Barcelona also played a game in Peralada and was very satisfied with the environment and life here. Therefore, Rijkaard and the club unanimously decided to set up the summer training camp in this small town.
rural.
The advantage of doing this is that you can avoid external distractions to the greatest extent and focus on training and preparations for war.
Su Dong still brought his own personal coaching team into the camp. Since they had received the news earlier, no one at Barcelona was surprised. After all, this is a team that Su Dong established with his own money.
After going through Sporting Lisbon and Valencia, Nuno Cruz and others already knew clearly how to cooperate with the professional coaching team, and had early contact with Rijkaard's chief assistant coach Tenkat.
Rijkaard's training intensity is actually not that high compared to that of Benitez's Valencia. Pre-season training is also mainly focused on physical reserves and condition adjustment. Obviously, he is somewhat accommodating to the stars in the team.
As well as those international players who participate in national team competitions.
This also made Su Dong realize that the more wealthy you are in such a wealthy team, the more rare it is for you to practice extra time.
Every player is very professional. They come to train at the right time and leave after the training is over.
This is true even during pre-season training in Peralada.
On the contrary, in the eyes of the Barcelona stars who seem to be taking a leisurely vacation, Su Dong's striving style is simply an alternative.
Not only Su Dong was surprised, Nuno Cruz and others were also surprised. Could it be said that the stars of wealthy teams do not need to train hard?
But then I thought about it, which player who can join a wealthy club is not of superior strength and talent?
The most important thing for such a player is to maintain competitive status, without thinking about working hard to improve.
To use a sentence on the domestic Internet: If these talented stars still work so hard, how can others survive?
Su Dong has no control over other people. Anyway, he still maintains his own style and practices more on his own after training every day, because Rijkaard's training volume is not enough for him.
Only Messi in the team still accompanies Su Dongjia for training, while the others go to and from get off work on time.
Ronaldinho even brought up the Brazilian F4 in the Barcelona team in Peralada, which are Deco, Sylvinho, Belletti, and Thiago Motta who came from the Barcelona youth training camp.
.
Brazilian F4 is closely united around Ronaldinho, giving full play to the Brazilian's happy and positive character, advocating freedom and unrestrainedness, making the daily training range of the team very active, and life after training is also quite happy.
This atmosphere has also infected everyone in the team, and Ronaldinho's status in the locker room has also increased.
Due to the retirement and departure of the two old captains Cocu and Luis Enrique, the team held a vote for the captain election during the training camp in Peralada.
This is also a consistent tradition of Barcelona. This is how Puyol was elected as captain, and this time he was still elected unanimously.
In the subsequent vice-captain election, Ronaldinho and Xavi received the same number of votes, which was somewhat surprising.
But in the end, coach Frank Rijkaard gave his valuable vote to Ronaldinho and appointed Xavi as the third captain.
As new players, several youth team players such as Su Dong and Messi received Rijkaard's permission in advance and did not need to participate in the voting.
