"Su, someone is looking for you at the gym."
Just as Su Dong hung up the phone with Ma Dawei, Jose Semedo poked his head out of the door.
This kid's chances of joining the first team are slim, but he's doing pretty well in the first team.
With Semedo's character, he can get along pretty well wherever he goes.
"Who is looking for me?" Su Dong was surprised.
From the time he joined Sporting Lisbon until now, someone interviewed him on the phone for the first time, and now someone comes to visit him again. He is really strange and feels very uncomfortable.
"Mendes and Manuel are here and talking to Nuno Cruz in the gym."
Su Dong said oh and immediately quickened his pace.
…
When Su Dong came to the gym, he found that not only Mendes and Nuno Cruz were there, but also Ronnie.
This guy probably just went to talk on the phone with Jordana.
A man who falls in love is so unpretentious and boring.
At Mendes's greeting, Su Dong walked over and sat in a circle with them on the floor.
"I just came from the office and met with Aurelio Pereira." Mendes said straight to the point.
"Why are you looking for him?" Ronnie felt strange.
Su Dong also frowned and looked at Mendes, guessing his intention to find the technical director.
"Don't be nervous. I didn't make any demands. I just went over to find out how the technical team plans to arrange your playing time and train you. This is very necessary." Mendes explained.
They say they understand, but in fact they are hinting and reminding the other party that the two players performed well and the club should pay more attention to them and invest more resources in cultivating them.
As the saying goes, a child who cries gets milk.
Nowadays, the era of being honest, keeping a low profile and doing one's duty has long passed.
There are many things that players cannot come forward for, so agents have to do it.
For example, when Mendes met with Aurelio, he did not mention a salary increase or a contract extension. He was only "concerned" about the club's arrangement of players' playing time. This was actually a reminder to them to give them more opportunities to practice in games.
"Thank you." Su Dong said lightly.
Mendes smiled at Su Dong. He knew that Su Dong was a smart man and understood the mystery behind this.
Of course, Ronnie is not stupid either. He will understand after a little exposure.
"Aurelio gave me a clear commitment. He said he would take it seriously and increase your playing time. However, he would have to discuss the details with Bologni and try to come up with a plan as soon as possible."
This is also the proper answer.
But if that's all, then you can just make a phone call at night and say something.
Su Dong didn't think that Mendes would come all the way to see them because of this, especially in the gym.
"Is there anything else?" Su Dong asked curiously.
Mendes nodded and smiled pretending to be mysterious, "This is the purpose of my coming here."
After a pause, Mendes came over and lowered his voice, "I just heard the news. The current state of the first-team players is generally not very ideal. Needless to say, those who are injured are absent. The state of many players
None of them are very good. Even Jardel has scored a lot of goals, but he is injured, which also affects his performance."
After playing in the league for several months, Sporting Lisbon's first team's lineup is not generous. There is no huge lineup, and Boloni cannot play the rotation system. Main players like Jardel, Andre Cruz and other main players are basically dead.
use.
Anyway, as long as you are not injured or sick, you should go.
As a result, by April, the players were already tired and tired, but at this time, it was also a critical moment for the end of the league. Not only was the competition for the Portuguese Super League championship fierce, but even the Portuguese Cup had entered the crucial semi-finals.
For example, Hugo Viana, another player under Mendes, has played in almost every game since he became the main player in October and performed very well. He was named Rui Costa II.
, but in the game against Setubal, he failed to play and was only included in the squad.
This is certainly due to the team's tactical needs, but Viana's recent state is indeed relatively poor.
Of course, this is normal. After all, Viana is young and will definitely not be able to stand playing like this for a long time.
There is also Quaresma. Apart from being amazing at the beginning of this season, this player's performance has been mixed at other times.
Sometimes he can perform very eye-catchingly, but sometimes he can perform completely badly.
That's what young players are like, their performance is ups and downs and their form is very unstable.
"What I want to tell you is that the game against Setubal was a good start, whether it was against Su or Ronnie, but the key lies in the following period."
Mendes reminded Su Dong and Ronnie very seriously.
"There are still four rounds of the league, one semi-final of the Portuguese Cup, and if everything goes well, there will be a final, up to six games."
"These six games will determine the results of Sporting Lisbon this season. Not only the club pays attention to it, but the coaching staff also pays attention to it. Even Bologna is more nervous than anyone else and has more pressure than anyone else, because if they are empty-handed, they may be dismissed after the season.
"
"So, at this time, you should maintain the state you had against Setubal, perform well in training and games, and completely establish your position in the first team, in the club, and in the mind of coach Boloni.
Only then can we gain a firm foothold.”
"For teams like Sporting Lisbon, many young rookies emerge every season. Some of them continue to perform and soon become the main force, and even go abroad to play, while others are like shooting stars, fleeting."
"Summer preparations are a very critical period. At that time, the team will make transfers and recruitments, and technical and tactical adjustments will be made, and even reorganized. If you cannot prove your worth and stand firm in the remaining five or six games,
position, then when you prepare for the summer, you will still be just young players."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "At most, it is a star of hope with potential."
“But you have to know that in European football, in the Portuguese Super League, and in teams like Sporting Lisbon, there is never a shortage of stars of hope. Only by performing better can we secure our place in the 18-man first team roster.
, you can continue the current development momentum in the new season, otherwise you will have to start over."
Mendes's reminder came very timely.
Su Dong and Ronny both benefited a lot and even had a kind of enlightenment.
In fact, Su Dong had thought about this before, but he didn't understand it. Now when Mendes said it, he understood it completely.
This is the reason why many players have been switching between the main and substitute roles.
"Nuno." Mendes looked at Nuno Cruz, "During this period, we must adjust their condition no matter what, and make sure they can give their best performance every time they play."
That's why Mendes chose to meet at the gym.
Nuno Cruz is regarded as the personal coach hired by Sudong and Ronnie. Although Sporting Lisbon subsidizes half of the cost, can borrow Alcoschetti's gym, and maintains communication with the first-team coaching staff, in fact he is still
He was hired by Su Dong, and he was on Su Dong's side.
"I will adjust the training plan according to the schedule and try my best to stabilize their condition." Nuno Cruz nodded.
The status of a player is very elusive and no one can fully control it.
Nuno Cruz can only say that he will try his best.
"I can continue training in the afternoon and tomorrow morning." Su Dong said.
Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle!
According to the club's arrangements, on the first morning after the game, after recovery training, the team can have one day off, from noon today to noon tomorrow. This is a one-game-a-week situation.
If there is a game in the middle of the week, then there is no holiday.
"Me too." Ronnie also said.
Now they are in the rising stage of their careers. If they seize the opportunity, their future will be much easier.
Faced with the coveted first-team position, Ronnie would not easily miss it no matter what.
Nuno Cruz nodded approvingly. Both Sudong and Ronnie were very hard-working players who completed his training programs meticulously. Even in gyms that others were afraid of avoiding, they were very
Work hard.
This is also what Nuno Cruz is most satisfied with.
"Don't worry, as your agent, I can guarantee that the better you perform on the court, the more benefits I can get for you at the negotiation table off the court. As long as you win in the next five years,
If you perform well in six games, I can win you a new contract and a position in the team this summer."
After a pause, Mendes continued: "Of course, if you can't perform on the court, then what I can achieve off the court will be less or even nothing. I hope you can understand this.
"
Agents put it bluntly, they exist depending on the players.
So much so that some people say that agents are like vampires.
This may be slightly derogatory, but it vividly describes the role of an agent.
If there is anyone in the world who wants players to succeed the most, it is agents.
Of course, many agents will not interfere or supervise players excessively, because once they annoy a player, they will send you a fax in minutes. Therefore, how to balance this will also test the agent's ability.
So far, Su Dong believes that Mendes' agent has done a good job.
At least it allows him to focus on training and competition without any distractions.
In the next round, Sporting Lisbon will face Beira Mar.
This team is very interesting. The current ranking is similar to that of Setubal, but its offensive ability is much better than that of Setubal. The number of goals scored can even rank sixth in the league. It is better than strong teams such as Maritimo. It can defend
It's very bad, conceding one more goal than Wazim, who is in the relegation zone.
Sporting Lisbon is playing at home. Facing such an opponent, if nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to win.
Especially when the opponent's top scorer, Senegal forward Fari Faye scored twice in a 4-2 victory over Braga, but was injured in the final stage of the game and missed the next two games, resulting in a draw.
One loss, zero goals.
This also makes Sporting Lisbon more confident.
