Ma Dawei, a reporter from the authoritative Chinese newspaper in Spain, followed the ecstatic crowd and walked out of the Calderon Stadium.
In this magnificent football stadium behind him, a wonderful goal feast had just ended.
In the 35th round of the Spanish Second Division, Atletico Madrid defeated the visiting Murcia 4-2 at home.
This victory completely established Atletico Madrid's status as the leader of La Liga, and is only one step away from returning to La Liga.
Ma Dawei could clearly see that all the Atletico Madrid fans walking out of the Calderon Stadium had smiles on their faces with excitement, and everyone was full of infinite longing for the future.
This traditional Spanish powerhouse finally returns to La Liga!
Ma Dawei does not have much empathy for the feelings of the Atletico Madrid fans around him.
He came to watch this game with a mission.
Not long ago, Spanish media revealed that Atletico Madrid intends to introduce a young Chinese international. This caused a huge shock in the country and countless fans are full of expectations.
The National Youth Team performed well in the World Youth Championship in Argentina, and the national team reached the World Cup finals historically. Everyone in the country is full of hope for the future of Chinese football, especially for this young star of hope.
With high hopes.
It is undoubtedly what the Chinese people are eagerly looking forward to for Spain to become a powerful country abroad.
In the next ten years, he will also hold up the flag of the national team and become an iconic figure in Chinese football.
Everything will get better and better!
Ma Dawei thought to himself.
…
As the crowd left the Calderon Stadium, Ma Dawei came to a cafe on the street.
The tranquility of the past is gone here. Everyone is enthusiastically discussing the La Liga game that just passed and the upcoming La Liga campaign, discussing young Fernando Torres and Antonio Lopez, and discussing veterans Aguilera and
Stankovic.
There is also the coach Aragones who rushed to put out the fire before the season but led the team all the way to the top of Segunda División.
Everything is getting better and better.
Just like Chinese football.
Ma Dawei thought to himself.
He picked up the phone and found a familiar name in the address book, hesitating whether to call it out.
This is a scout who is very well-connected in Spain. It is said that his network can not only connect Atletico Madrid, but also local giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona. He has friends, and his network even reaches as far away as Inter Milan in Serie A.
Rich family.
Ma Dawei also met this scout through a friend's introduction after many twists and turns.
The relationship is not deep, but Ma Dawei hopes to get some information from the other party.
For example, where is the progress of Atletico Madrid's plan to introduce this Chinese star of hope?
Can it be done this summer?
If successful, he will be the first Chinese player in history to land in the Spanish League and La Liga.
Just thinking about it makes people feel excited and excited.
Ma Dawei thought about it for a long time and finally decided to fight.
"Hello, Mr. Garcia, I'm David Ma."
"Which David?"
"No, it's David Ma, Ma Dawei, a Chinese reporter. I had dinner with you once before. Do you remember?"
"Oh, remember, of course."
"That's it, Mr. Garcia, are you free these two days? I would like to treat you to a meal and ask you about the transfer of Chinese players to Atletico Madrid. Is it convenient for you?"
"Sorry, David, I came to Portugal with my friends."
"Really?" Ma Dawei couldn't hide his disappointment, "That's okay, I can wait for you to come back."
"I know what you want to know, David, but I want to tell you that the probability of this transfer is very low."
Ma Dawei was stunned, "Why?"
"Atletico doesn't need a player like this."
"But that's not what the media said before. They said..."
"Yes, David, but you have to know that the media's bounden duty is sales, but the club's recruitment does not consider the media's sales. Even if it is recruiting superstars like Real Madrid, the first consideration is definitely not what the media says."
Ma Dawei felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him, with disappointment written all over his face.
"Is there really no chance?"
"As far as I know, no." Garcia replied affirmatively. "You know, they already have a Fernando Torres. He is younger, more powerful, and more talented."
"But he hasn't scored many goals this season, and he's still in Segunda División."
"Don't look at it that way, David." Garcia smiled slightly on the other end of the phone. "You have to know that Torres participated in the U16 European Youth Championship last summer. As a main force, he helped Spain win the championship and won the Golden Boot Award."
"After that, he skipped the U17 and U18 national teams and directly entered the U19. He performed very well in the qualifiers of the European Youth Championship in Denmark and is currently the main forward of the U19 national team.
He is also one of the youngest players, the other being Barcelona’s genius Iniesta.”
"This is the kind of player Atletico Madrid needs and is willing to focus on cultivating."
Having said this, what else can Ma Dawei say?
If even Garcia thinks it's impossible, then it will basically be difficult for this transfer to happen.
Just when Ma Dawei was filled with disappointment and wanted to end the call, Garcia on the other end of the phone suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, David, if I remember correctly, you are from China, right?"
Ma Dawei was a little embarrassed to find that the other party had probably forgotten who he was.
"Yes, Mr. Garcia, I am Chinese."
"I wonder if you have ever heard of Su Dong, a player who studied abroad?"
"Su Dong?"
"Yes, how is he doing in China? What is his family background? How did he come to Portugal?"
Ma Dawei felt the concern from Garcia on the other side of the phone, and he was very surprised.
He had never heard of the name Su Dong, let alone who he was.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Garcia, I don't understand, who is Su Dong?"
"Oh my God, David, you don't know Su Dong?" Garcia seemed to have heard something weird.
"who is he?"
Garcia asked instead, "Do you have many Chinese players studying abroad in Europe?"
"Not many, three in total."
"Then you don't know Su Dong?" Garcia was even more surprised.
"Mr. Garcia, may I ask, who is Su Dong?"
"I suggest that instead of paying attention to Atletico Madrid's unlikely transfer, you should pay attention to Sudong of Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League. He just made his debut in the Portuguese Super League. He helped Sporting Lisbon reverse the situation with one pass and one shot.
Tubal's skills astound everyone."
"This is a key battle for the Portuguese Super League this season. Sudong's performance is better than that of Portuguese geniuses Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo. He has even attracted the attention of Inter Milan. Luis Suarez is interested in him.
I am full of praise and think he will become an excellent center."
"This...how is this possible?" Ma Dawei was shocked.
When did China produce such a player?
This is impossible, there is absolutely no news in the country.
"It's a fact, David. Just wait and read tomorrow's Portuguese newspaper."
Garcia laughed and hung up the phone.
Ma Dawei sat there dumbfounded, unable to digest the information Garcia had just brought.
He quickly took out his notebook, opened the web page, and searched for news about the Portuguese Super League on the portal website. Sure enough, several real-time news items popped up at once.
“The Chinese God of War shines in the Portuguese Super League!”
"The seventeen-year-old genius center made a stunning appearance and performed a killer show in his debut!"
"With one pass and one shot, the young director of Sporting Lisbon made a crazy comeback!"
"Coach Setubal: He reminds me of Kluivert!"
"The young substitute shined in the audience, and Boloni praised him highly: He still has huge potential that has not yet been tapped!"
"Jader gave a rare response to the fact that he was not selected for the national team list: Ronaldo who did not score goals is not as good as Su Dong!"
…
Ma Dawei was stunned. He found a lot of news at once.
The name Su Dong suddenly appeared in Portugal as if overnight.
Seventeen-year-old Chinese player?
Ma Dawei has no impression at all. Where did he come from? Which team did he come from? When and how did he become a foreigner?
After finally calming down, Ma Dawei immediately called the editor-in-chief of an authoritative domestic football newspaper.
But what surprised Ma Dawei was that the other party had never heard of the name Su Dong.
"This is impossible! There are only a few Chinese players studying abroad, and each of them is like a baby. If there are Chinese players playing for a strong European team like Sporting Lisbon, how can there be no news at all in China?"
"Are they overseas Chinese?"
Ma Dawei shook his head and denied it. Garcia told him clearly that he was a Chinese player, and there were more than a dozen news items searched online, and even more and more. Some of them were accompanied by photos of Su Dong, a sunny and handsome Chinese boy.
, wearing a Sporting Lisbon jersey, how could it be fake?
Unwilling to give up, Ma Dawei found the phone number of a friend within the Football Association and wanted to find out.
"Su Dong? I don't know him, I haven't heard of him, I don't know, he's definitely not a Chinese player." The other party denied it immediately.
But when Ma Dawei talked about Su Dong's affairs in detail, especially when he mentioned Portugal, the other party was shocked.
"It can't be him, right?"
"who?"
"A player who was banned last year."
"Block and ban?"
Following the guidance of his friend, Ma Dawei quickly found a rather inconspicuous piece of news on the domestic Internet, with only single digit clicks.
The general content of the news is that a Chinese player illegally transferred to Sporting CP in Lisbon, Portugal, and the Football Association banned him. The period of suspension was not even listed at the end.
"What's going on?" Ma Dawei was shocked.
Why was a talented rookie who made a splash in his debut in the Portuguese Super League and even Inter Milan focused on him, but was banned in China?
Illegal transfer?
But he was able to transfer from Sporting CP to Sporting Lisbon and successfully landed in the Portuguese Super League.
Where is the violation?
Ma Dawei's continuous questioning only elicited an awkward wry smile.
This is a confusing account.
