i want to be king

Chapter 72 Can't Lose!
"What an impressive player!"

From the grandstand at the Alvalade Stadium, Luis Suarez was full of praise for Sudong.

If he could call the shots, he would sign Su Dong without hesitation.

As for whether to return to Sporting Lisbon on loan to continue training after signing, or to play for the Inter Milan youth training camp, this will be discussed later, but such young talents must be caught as soon as possible no matter what.

He even had a premonition that within two years, Su Dong's worth would skyrocket.

But unfortunately, he can't be the master.

Moratti is more inclined to introduce mature players who are able to fight. Even a Brazilian genius like Adriano has been loaned to Parma, let alone the 17-year-old Su Dong.

Inter Milan is a giant, not interested in training young players, they only want to become famous stars.

This made Suarez feel very depressed, always feeling as if he had missed something important.

Aurelio Pereira, the technical director of Sporting Lisbon, was sitting next to Suarez. After listening to the legendary star, he smiled and nodded again and again, "He seems to have endless potential, which has not been fully tapped yet."

Aurelio watched Su Dong's rise with his own eyes, but just a few months ago, he would never have imagined that the teenager he signed would make such a significant contribution to the team at the end of the season.

In two games, two shots and one pass helped the team get precious six points.

If he can really win the championship this season, then Su Dong must be one of the most important contributors.

But what really surprised Aurelio was that Su Dong's momentum of progress was still very strong, and he didn't even show signs of slowing down.

"Yes." Suarez agreed with Aurelio's judgment. "Compared to the game a week ago, he has improved a lot, especially the confidence on the court. He didn't dare to use it in the last game."

At the end, Suarez couldn't help laughing.

He is old, and the thing he is most interested in is watching the young players he admires slowly grow up.

In his opinion, compared with a week ago, Su Dong's biggest change is his self-confidence.

Obviously, that one pass and one shot made Su Dong more confident.

Confidence is the key factor for players to show their strength on the court.

A player who lacks self-confidence will definitely be swallowed up by his opponent when he arrives on the court.

Don't think that Ronnie and Quaresma are too sticky to the ball, but on the other hand, this just reflects their strong self-confidence.

If they don't dare to hold the ball on the court, don't dare to dribble to break through and pass others, then no matter how good the skills are, no matter how talented they are, what's the use?

Young players just have to dare to express themselves.

The reason why many young talented players fail to succeed is that their self-confidence has been knocked out, and they have fallen into a vicious circle of less self-confidence, worse performance, and worse performance, less self-confidence.

Compared with Ronnie and Quaresma, Su Dong is still much worse in this respect.

"This is also a normal phenomenon." As the technical director, Aurelio still has a lot of research on the psychology of young players.

"He is from China and was tricked into Portugal. After joining Athletic de Portugal, he has not been taken seriously. He didn't even participate in a few training sessions with this team. Most of the time he trains by himself in the Edward VII Park."

"A 16-year-old boy, far away in a foreign country, unfamiliar with his life, was deceived, and practiced in the park alone. How lonely and helpless it is, but this also just highlights Su Dong's tenacity. He is not a person who is easily defeated."

"Since he came to Portugal, he has been in a state of insecurity. He lacks a sense of security and lack of confidence in his ability. These have seriously affected his personality growth."

"Our youth training camp often encounters various situations. For example, some children cannot adapt to the lonely life away from their families, so no matter how talented they are, we can only regret to send them back. In a situation like Su Dong, we can only take it slowly and help him build up his self-confidence step by step."

Luis Suarez nodded again and again, Sporting Lisbon is still very strong in youth training.

"Actually, sometimes I think that one of the important reasons why Ronnie and Su Dong hit each other so well is probably because they are both lonely, but very brave and tenacious. Ronnie also has a strong inferiority complex in his bones, but he behaves very flamboyantly."

"Kids are like this." Suarez laughed.

Many times, children always think that adults will not easily see through what they do, but they don't know that their every move is not a secret at all in the eyes of adults, but no one is willing to expose it.

Not to puncture, this is also a kind of protection for young players.

"Aurelio, let me tell you the truth. For the time being, I can't promise you anything, but I hope you can notify me in advance when you receive Su Dong's offer. Can you?" Suarez asked.

Aurelio raised his eyebrows, smiled and said nothing.

Friendship is friendship, but there is no free lunch in the world.

If Inter Milan is interested, they can sit down and talk. There is no player in the Sporting Lisbon team that cannot be bought.

But if you want to be an empty-handed white wolf, even if it's just a piece of news, it's a bit difficult.

After Suarez saw it, he sighed in his heart, of course he understood.

He is really optimistic about Su Dong, but unfortunately, this does not conform to Inter Milan's transfer strategy.

…………

…………

The match ended with a two-to-one victory over Sporting Lisbon's visiting Beiramar.

Su Dong scored the second and most critical goal.

This allowed him to receive warm applause from the Sporting Lisbon fans when he walked off the pitch after the game.

As a rookie and his first home appearance, Su Dong's performance has been affirmed by the fans.

"If you keep playing like this, I'm afraid I'll have to hang out with you in the future." Ronnie said enviously and jealously.

"Don't worry, if you can't get along in other places, I will always open the door for you here." Su Dong was very bold.

Ronnie punched him directly angrily, and laughed out loud.

As a winger, his performance is actually very good, but not as critical as Su Dong's goal.

After all, scoring a goal is always the most eye-catching moment on the football field.

After scoring two consecutive games, Su Dong's performance was further recognized by the locker room.

Everyone began to believe that Su Dong has become an important part of the team, can contribute to the team in the game, and even play a key role in changing the situation.

This recognition earned him respect in the locker room.

Whether it is a player, an employee, or the coaching staff, they will greet him politely when they see him. Even the head coach Boloni will nod and smile every time he sees Su Dong to show his appreciation and affirmation.

If there is no accident, in Boloni's coaching resume at Sporting Lisbon, Su Dong, Ronnie, Quaresma and Hugo Viana will be his strong pen and ink for training young players. The better these young players perform, the higher the future achievements, Boloni will benefit from this.

At least, when everyone mentions these players in the future, they will remember that their Bole is the Romanian head coach Ladislau Boloni. Many teams that aim to train young players may favor him because of this.

Players and coaches often achieve each other in this way.

……

"Tonight's game, everyone worked hard."

After everyone arrived, Boloni walked among the players and said loudly.

"Thanks to the goals of Jardl and Sudong, and everyone's joint efforts, we defeated the visiting Beiramar, scored a valuable three points, and defended our position as the league leader. This will have an immeasurable impact on our next game, and may even change the situation of winning the championship."

After winning the game, every player is in a good mood, even those substitute players who cannot play.

"But I also hope that everyone will always keep in mind that now is the critical moment to hit the championship, and we must not relax no matter what."

"In three days we will play Maritimo at home, in the semi-final of the Portuguese Cup."

"If there is no accident, Porto will play against Lessos in the other game. Porto has a high probability of winning, so we must work harder to win Maritimo and rush to the Portuguese Cup final."

At the end of Boloni's speech, he raised his right hand and clenched his fist vigorously, showing his determination and fighting spirit.

The players were also infected to a certain extent and nodded one after another.

"On the weekend, in the No.30 second round of the Portuguese Super League, we will welcome Vazim, but then we will face Boavista and Benfica in succession. The former is our number one opponent for the championship. In the penultimate round, if we can beat the opponent in the away game, what is the significance? I believe I don't need to say more, everyone knows."

"The last round is the derby, against Benfica at home, which is also a tough game."

When Boloni said this, he adjusted his stance and glanced at every player in the locker room.

"What I want to tell everyone is that as long as we win all the last five games of this season, it will be the double crown."

"In the history of the club, we have won the double championship five times. The last time was in the 20-[-] season. It has been [-] years since now."

"I hope that we can work together to realize the dreams that have not been realized in the past 20 years for this group of fans who have been supporting us. This is not only the honor of the team, but also my honor, and it will be your honor!"

Boloni said that in the end, he was obviously infected by his own mobilization.

His pressure was the greatest among all the people present, because he couldn't lose!
If this season ends up being empty-handed, then the probability of his getting out of class is extremely high.

Whether in order to keep the handsome position, or to add glory to his coaching resume, he has to fight hard.

Whether it is a dragon or a worm, it depends on how the last few games can be spelled out.

Thinking of this, Boloni couldn't help turning his gaze to Su Dong.

After saving the team in two consecutive games and saving him, Boloni's expectations for Su Dong are even higher.
