Su Dong was ecstatically holding the Inter Milan No. 9 jersey in front of him, with Ronaldo's autograph on it. This made him overjoyed and couldn't put it down.
"Oh my god, it's really Ronaldo's signature." Su Dong was so excited.
Luis Suarez and Mendes also laughed when they saw his reaction.
Obviously, the former legendary superstar specially prepared it for Su Dong after knowing his preferences.
"Luis went to watch your game away from home. He flew to Milan to ask Ronaldo for a signed jersey, and then flew back to Lisbon." Suarez's friend, Spanish scout Garcia, said with help.
After hearing this, Su Dong thanked him very gratefully. He really liked Ronaldo.
"To be honest, since I was a child, I have always dreamed of competing with Ronaldo. I long to play like him, but unfortunately, I am drifting away from him now." Su Dong said with a wry smile with regret.
What he meant was that as he got taller and taller, he became less and less like Ronaldo.
Suarez laughed, "Style seems to be secondary, but I think your tenacity is very similar to his. He can suffer serious injuries many times and come back many times. This will is worth learning."
Everyone nodded.
Anyone who has played football knows that other players may have ruined their careers due to serious injuries like those suffered by Ronaldo, but he has come back again and again, and has always maintained a very high level after his comeback.
Behind this, it is impossible to say that it has not gone through hardships that ordinary people cannot imagine.
Su Dong is now more and more able to understand that talent is important, but hard training is the key to a player's success.
A genius like Ronnie still has to work hard and practice hard?
Which of the talented players such as Quaresma does not need hard training?
…
Luis Suarez came here specifically to visit.
He prepared a gift for each of Su Dong and Ronnie, but it was obvious that Su Dong was extremely excited to receive Ronaldo's autographed jersey, but Ronnie's reaction was much duller.
Because there is no such idol in the Inter Milan team.
He likes Figo.
Suarez said that after watching the game, he was very surprised by the performance of the two. At the same time, he had written a scouting report and submitted it to Inter Milan's scouting department. He believed that they would continue to track the performance of the two.
.
"Su, keep working hard, I believe you will have a chance to fight alongside Ronaldo."
Going to Inter Milan?
Su Dong was also full of expectations for this.
But he knows even more clearly that he is still far from that strength.
The topic quickly moved elsewhere.
Suarez will ask about the lives and training of the two people with concern, learn about some things about them, and even give some of his own suggestions on certain things.
He is not only a legendary superstar who has won the European Ballon d'Or, but he is also a successful head coach with extremely rich experience. In addition, he has been working in front of and behind the scenes for many years, and he is also very familiar with the current professional football world.
Have your own independent opinions.
After some exchanges, both Su Dong and Ronnie benefited a lot.
After more than half an hour, Suarez stood up and left.
…
"Su, from the look on your face, are you in trouble?"
Su Dong, Ronnie and Mendes sent Suarez downstairs, but Su Dong and Suarez lagged behind.
The Spanish old man seemed to be very concerned about Su Dong and noticed his expression.
Su Dong hesitated for a moment and expressed his complicated feelings at this moment.
"Is it because I'm not strong enough?" Su Dong asked with concern.
Suarez laughed after hearing this, patted Su Dong on the shoulder, and smiled happily: "This is normal, no one can avoid it, because people always grow up with self-doubt."
"Believe me, if one day you no longer doubt yourself, there are only two possibilities. Either you are so strong that you are fearless and nothing or any opponent can shake your confidence; or you are so arrogant and ignorant.
To the point where I’ve even been deceived.”
"I have always believed that self-doubt is a good thing for a professional player, because it means that you are ambitious and motivated, and it also means that you attach great importance to the profession of playing football."
"Every time you overcome self-doubt, it is a rare progress for you."
Suarez's words had a great impact on Su Dong.
Since joining Sporting Lisbon, in the eyes of everyone, his performance has been rising steadily, and he has even begun to serve as the offensive core of the second team. However, with greater power comes greater responsibility.
As a player from a weak football country, Su Dong has a sense of insecurity and lack of confidence in his bones.
The better he performs, the more praise he receives, and the higher his status in the team, the stronger his fear and lack of confidence will become, and he will always be tempted to doubt himself.
Can I?
When playing against Amadora, Jean James also asked Su Dong this way. At that time, he said without hesitation that he could.
But in fact, he had doubts in his heart.
Now, Boloni asked him to be prepared at any time, and the insecurity and lack of confidence in his bones came out again.
But Suarez told him that this was a good thing.
As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but this fearlessness is based on ignorance.
As they gradually gain knowledge and understand more, they will have more awe of the world, feel their own insignificance, and doubt or even deny themselves again and again.
Is this a bad thing?
not necessarily.
Some people are defeated by fear and lack of confidence, so they start to stop moving forward.
They will stay in their comfort zone and are unwilling to make changes. They lack the courage.
But some people will overcome their inner awe and self-doubt again and again, making themselves stronger and more confident.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The more ambitious you are, the more you must be afraid."
"Competitive sports, to put it bluntly, are not about competing against your opponents, but about fighting against yourself!"
When Suarez finished saying these two sentences, he smiled and patted Su Dong's shoulder, feeling very pleased.
Being able to think of this at the age of seventeen proves that Su Dong is a precocious and independent young man. This will undoubtedly be a good thing for his career, because there are countless players who are not lacking in talent or poor environment, but have inner hearts.
Not strong enough, not mature enough, but Su Dong is very mature and becoming more and more powerful.
"You have done well enough. Don't have any unnecessary pressure or burden, and don't doubt or deny yourself. Let go and let your light shine."
"I believe you will become an excellent professional player."
Su Dong watched Suarez get into the car. He couldn't believe that he could get such high expectations from the legendary superstar. He could hear the sincerity in the tone, which was not a false courtesy.
Of course, to achieve it, Su Dong still needs to put in more efforts and sweat.
…
After Mendes sent Suarez away, he looked at Su Dong with some surprise, then turned to look at Ronnie.
He had received news before that Suarez was very interested in Ronnie.
Then he tried to persuade Suarez to come to watch the game.
Things are progressing very smoothly. Suarez is very satisfied with Ronnie. Although Inter Milan is not interested in buying Ronnie so early, Mendes knows very well that Suarez's interest will facilitate this deal sooner or later.
No one can influence Inter Milan president Moratti like Suarez.
But during tonight's visit, Mendes unexpectedly discovered that what Suarez was most interested in was not Ronnie, but Su Dong.
Especially when he went downstairs just now, although he didn't stop, he kept paying attention. Suarez deliberately walked at the end to talk to Su Dong, and what he said was undoubtedly some experience of Suarez's career.
and understanding.
Before parting ways, Suarez's words, deeds, and expressions all revealed his appreciation for Su Dong.
This surprised Mendes.
Perhaps, Su Dong's value and potential should really be re-evaluated.
…………
…………
Suarez's visit did not attract any attention.
He has been retired for many years, and no one cares about where he has been or what he has done.
Su Dong was only excited for a night, and then he collected Ronaldo's autographed jersey like a treasure. As for the others, he didn't care about it.
Suarez's words helped Su Dong a lot, making him understand that not only he was like this, but everyone else would be like this, and would doubt themselves under heavy pressure.
Once he understands this, he will no longer be afraid.
There is nothing to be afraid of.
If you don’t want to become a loser who stands still, you can only keep moving forward and constantly break through yourself.
In the following days, Su Dong still trained with Nuno Cruz every day and participated in first-team training.
Jader trained alone and did not return to the team until Thursday.
Ronnie became more aware of his uncle's injury. He secretly told Su Dong that it was not very serious, but rather troublesome.
"Not only can he not play all the games now, he is not allowed to play the whole game."
This is something that has symptoms early on.
Whenever Sporting Lisbon wins, without exception, it is after the team secures the victory that Jared is replaced by Nalikis. Previously, Su Dong and others thought it was a kind of protection for Jardel.
But now it seems that the club probably knew that he had an injury on his foot.
It is common for players to get injured, but some hidden dangers are still very difficult.
It's a pity that after Nalikis joined Sporting Lisbon, he played almost every game in the entire second half, ranging from an hour at most to 20 minutes at least, but he didn't even score a goal.
This also made everyone at Sporting Lisbon very disappointed with him.
Many people in the team are speculating that he will not be retained by the team after this season.
None of this has anything to do with Su Dong. He is still working hard to improve himself.
But just after the training session on Friday afternoon, when the coaching staff announced the squad for Saturday's away game against Setubal in the locker room, Sudong and Ronnie were on the list.
