Although the Portuguese Super League's winter break is said to be two weeks, in fact, the players' vacation is only one week.
Christmas has just passed and the team is about to start training.
This week of training is crucial for all teams because it is a rare recharge time in the middle of the season.
For example, the Premier League, which does not have a winter break, has always complained about the difficulty of the schedule.
On the morning when the team resumed training, Su Dong and Ronnie arrived in Alcocheti in Pontes' car.
On the way, Pontes told Su Dong that he had officially received notice from the club, and that he and Naray would continue to be responsible for the intensive training of Su Dong and Ronnie, and they would focus on tracking their training.
This is definitely good news for Su Dong, who is unfamiliar with this place.
Ronnie also had a very good impression of this fellow from Madeira Island, so he naturally had no objections.
After arriving in Alcocheti, the four of them went their separate ways.
Ronnie and Semedo took Sudong around Alcocheti, because the last time he took a physical examination, Sudong didn't have time to take a walk, so he couldn't tell where the first team was and where the youth team was.
.
The second team and the youth team train and compete in the north, while the first team is in the south. There is only a barbed wire fence between them, but they seem to be two different worlds.
For example, Semedo, when he was in the second team and youth team, usually only needed to participate in training in the afternoon.
But if you are training with the first team, it is different. There are two training sessions a day.
The times are at 9:30 am and 4:30 pm respectively.
Although both Su Dong and Ronnie were arranged to train with the first team, the game was still with the second team, so they went directly to the second team and reported to head coach Jean Yames.
…
"Although you spend most of your time training with the first team, I will also temporarily transfer you back to the second team during some important training sessions, such as some tactical drills and running-in training. This is very important."
As soon as Jean James met, he vaccinated Su Dong and Ronny, the two players who were transferred to the first team.
After many players enter the first team, they are very resistant to the training and competition of the second team or the youth team. This is also a normal phenomenon. People move to higher places and water flows to lower places. It is a good thing for players to be ambitious.
But if young players want to enter the first-team lineup, it is not a casual matter.
Even though he is as strong as Quaresma, he still occasionally returns to the second team to participate in games.
The reason is simple, he needs to rely on competition to maintain his condition.
If you cannot play in the first team for a long time, no matter how talented the player is, one day he will fall.
Su Dong didn't resist this at all, because he had previously played for a third-tier team like Sporting CP.
"Su, I believe you should also know some things about the team from Ronnie. Our second team is full of young players, and there are also many young players in the first team. The atmosphere in the team is very good, and the competition is fierce, but the team
We are very united, especially when the team is performing well this season.”
Su Dong nodded, but he was dubious about this sentence.
Because the outside world has been rumored that Jardel will leave the team during the winter break, and the transfer target is the four major leagues.
Perhaps seeing the doubts on Su Dong's face, James smiled and said: "I know, you must have seen some news reports, but what I can tell you is that before the club makes an official announcement, Jared is still Sporting Lisbon.
He is a smart player and he knows how to abide by the team's rules."
Su Dong understood.
Yesterday, Mendes told him personally that every professional team has rules, and some rules are universal, while others are unique to each team.
For example, many people know that anything that happens in the locker room cannot be disclosed to the outside world.
This is an iron rule. Anyone who violates it will be excluded from the locker room.
Another point is that any player should try his best to maintain the unity of the locker room in front of outsiders.
Many players like to reveal harsh information about the locker room to the media or fans, which is actually very offensive.
"While the training of the first team hasn't started yet, you should go to the second team first to have a look." Yames suggested.
…
Accompanied by Ronnie and Semedo, two old horses who know their way around, Su Dong went directly to the second team's rest area.
Before I even walked in, I heard the commotion inside from a distance outside.
"Hello, everyone, I'm back!"
As soon as Jose Semedo walked into the rest area, he immediately opened his arms and greeted everyone with a smile.
"Hey, Jose, you were almost late." Someone was the first to greet him.
Seeing the two people hugging each other affectionately, Su Dong looked at Ronnie and then Semedo in surprise.
When Su Dong's eyes returned to Ronnie, the boy from Madeira shrugged with an expression of "I don't care."
I really didn't realize that Jose Semedo is more popular than Ronnie in the locker room.
Isn't Ronny the ace player of the second team? A talented new star that Sporting Lisbon attaches great importance to?
This was a mistake Su Dong made subconsciously.
The best player is not necessarily the most popular player in the locker room.
To put it bluntly, even in a team like Sporting Lisbon, geniuses are always in the minority.
A genius like Ronnie is indeed invincible on the court, but he is not sociable off the court, because he is still very arrogant at heart, and he trains as if he is desperate. It is difficult for anyone to make friends with such a person.
On the contrary, Jose Semedo has the cheerfulness and optimism unique to black people. He laughs at everyone he sees, hugs everyone, and hangs out in the locker room, as comfortable and natural as a fish entering the sea.
When Su Dong realized this, he found that he really had to change some views.
Perhaps, every team needs a talent like Ronnie, but also a character like Semedo.
"Come on, Sue, let me introduce you, this is Ugo Pina."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Semedo quickly pulled an old friend and came to Su Dong.
Su Dong is no stranger to this name. It is said that Jose Semedo often goes out with him to pick up girls.
"Hi, Ugo, hello, I'm Su Dong." Su Dong quickly stretched out his hand.
"I've heard about you, Su, and Jose has often told me about you. I'm glad you came to Sporting Lisbon." Ugo Pina is also very friendly to Su Dong, obviously because of Semedo's relationship.
"Hugo, Su Dong's transfer fee has tied your record, so don't show off anymore." Semedo laughed.
Ugo Pina obviously heard about it too, and shrugged, "I was only fifteen years old at the time."
The implication is that I now have more than 300,000 euros.
Su Dong didn't care about this and laughed.
"Su, let me introduce to you, this is Jose Fonte, our main central defender."
Semedo pulled Su Dong to a tall player and said, "Jose, he is Su Dong. He is about the same height as you, but he is much faster than you and has better foot skills than you. You probably won't be able to defend him."
he."
There was not much expression on Wundt's face. He stretched out his hand, shook Su Dong's hand symbolically, and said provocatively: "If we have a chance, let's compete on the training ground."
After saying that, he deliberately glanced at Semedo.
The Cape Verdean shrugged, "I can't guard Su Dong anyway."
Following Jose Semedo around the rest area, Sudong discovered that Sporting Lisbon is really full of talents.
So far, he has not seen the three talents of Quaresma, Marcelino and Viana entering the first team, nor has he met the two forwards Gisvi and Laurence who are in the same position as him.
, but the second team still has a lot of talent.
Fabio Costa, who is said to officially take over the leadership of the youth team after Ronnie enters the first team, and Andres Cruz, the former sports tower No. 2 hunk who is very strong, and
Miguel Paichon, the midfielder who took over the reins of Viana, and Ugo Pina, who so far holds the youth team transfer fee record...
These people are all very young, but they all look extraordinary.
For example, when Andres Cruz walked in from Sudong, he had been practicing with dumbbells.
Fabio Costa was practicing juggling on the side, leaving Su Dong dazzled.
However, he soon discovered that as soon as Jose Semedo, Ugo Pina, Miguel Paichon and others got together, they immediately started talking about women, and they just picked up another one.
Topics such as beauties were discussed with great enthusiasm, just like a group of cocks overflowing with male hormones.
After Su Dong got to know a circle of people, he sat back next to Ronnie.
He was beginning to understand now why Ronnie seemed so out of place.
It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to blend in with these people in the future.
At least, he has not met a girl who makes his heart beat so far.
Or, it is not an easy thing to seduce a picky Virgo man.
…………
…………
After staying in the second team for a while, Su Dong left with Ronnie.
The two walked through the barbed wire fence side by side and arrived at the first team's locker room.
The captain of the team is veteran Pedro Barbosa. This midfielder has been playing for the team since 1995 and has made great achievements for the team. He is the kind of player who will retire from the team and become a player in the future.
A big boss who will enter management.
Barbosa had obviously known about Su Dong for a long time, not to mention Ronnie, the talented young player from the youth training camp. He had already arranged everything for them, and took the two of them into the locker room to introduce them to other players.
Su Dong was very nervous and excited all the way.
A few months ago, he was just in the stands, watching the players of Sporting Lisbon's first team playing. He was so envious at that time, and how far away these people were from him.
Who would have thought that a few months later, he would enter the Sporting Lisbon first team and get the valuable opportunity to train with them.
Today, he is still far away from playing in the first team. Being able to train with these famous European players is already a very rare thing for Su Dong.
Because of this, he followed Barbosa nervously all the way into the locker room door.
For him, this is not just a door, but a new future.
