Thirty-Eight Locker Room Boss

Although the Portuguese Super League's winter break is two weeks, in fact, the players' vacation is only one week.

Just after Christmas, the team immediately ushered in the training camp.

This week's boot camp is crucial for all teams, as it's a rare recharge time midway through the season.

For the Premier League, which has no winter break, there have been complaints about the difficulty of the schedule.

The morning the team resumed training, Sudong and Ronnie arrived in Alcochete in Pontes' car.

On the way, Pontes told Su Dong that he had officially received a notice from the club, and he and Nare would continue to be in charge of the intensive training of Su Dong and Ronnie, and they would focus on tracking the training of the two.

This is definitely good news for Su Dong, who is not familiar with his life.

Ronnie also had a very good impression of this fellow from Madeira, and naturally he did not object.

After arriving in Alcochete, the four parted ways.

Ronnie and Semedo took Su Dong around Alcochete, because Su Dong didn't have time to walk around during the last physical examination, so that they couldn't tell which was the first team and which was the youth team. .

The second team and the youth team both train and compete in the north, while the south is the exclusive area for the first team. There is only a barbed wire between the two, but it seems like two different worlds.

For example, Semedo, when he was in the second team and the youth team, generally only needed to participate in training in the afternoon.

But if you are training with the first team, it will be different, and you will have two training sessions a day.

The times are 9:30 am and 4:30 pm respectively.

Although Su Dong and Ronnie were both arranged to train with the first team, the game was still in the second team, so they went directly to the second team and asked the head coach Jean James to report.

...

"Although you spend most of your time training with the first team, in some important training sessions, I will temporarily transfer you back to the second team, such as some tactical drills and run-in training, which is very important."

As soon as Jean James met, he vaccinated Su Dong and Ronny, two players who were drafted into the first team.

After entering the first team, many players are very resistant to the training and competition of the second team or the youth team. This is also a normal phenomenon. People go to high places and water flows to low places. It is a good thing for players to have ambition.

But young players wanting to get into the first-team squad is not something to be taken lightly.

Even as strong as Quaresma, he still occasionally returns to the second team to participate in the game.

The reason is simple, he needs to rely on the game to stay in shape.

If you can't play in the first team for a long time, even the most talented players will fall one day.

Su Dong did not resist this at all, because he had previously played for a third-tier team like Atlético de Portugal.

"Su, I believe you should also know some things about the team from Ronnie. Our second team is all young players, and the first team also has many young players. The atmosphere in the team is very good, and the competition is fierce, but the team It's a lot of unity, especially when the team is doing well this season."

Su Dong nodded, but was dubious about this sentence.

Because the outside world has been rumored, Jardel will leave the team during the winter break, and the transfer goal is the four major leagues.

Perhaps seeing the doubts on Su Dong's face, James said with a smile: "I know, you must have seen some news reports, but what I can tell you is that before the club made an official announcement, Jardel was still Sporting Lisbon. The player, he's a smart guy, he knows how to play by the rules of the team."

Su Dong understood.

Yesterday, Mendes himself told him 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 casually.

This is an iron law, whoever violates it will be excluded from the locker room.

Another point is that any player should be in front of outsiders as much as possible to maintain the unity of the locker room.

A lot of players like to make news about the dressing room from the media or fans, which is actually very distasteful.

"Before the training of the first team starts, you should go to the second team first." James suggested.

...

Accompanied by Ronnie and Semedo, two familiar horses, Su Dong went directly to the rest area of ​​the second team.

Before I even walked in, I heard the sound of playing inside from far outside.

"Hello everyone, I'm back!"

As soon as Jose Semedo entered 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 lovingly embraced with open arms, Su Dong looked at Ronnie in astonishment, and then at Semedo.

When Su Dong's gaze returned to Ronnie, the Madeira teenager shrugged with an expression that I didn't care about.

I really didn't see that Jose Semedo was more popular than Ronnie in the locker room.

Coroni is not the ace player of the second team? The talented young star that Sporting Lisbon attaches great importance to?

This is a mistake that 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, there are always very few talents.

A genius like Ronnie is indeed invincible on the court, but he doesn't fit in with the crowd off the court, because he is still arrogant in his bones, and he trains like he is dying. It is difficult for anyone to make friends with such a person.

On the contrary, it is Jose Semedo, who has the unique cheerfulness and optimism of black people. He laughs at everyone, hugs everyone, and mixes in the dressing room. It is as comfortable and natural as a fish in the sea.

When Su Dong realized this, he found that he really had to change some opinions.

Maybe, every team needs a talent like Ronnie, but also a role like Semedo.

"Come on, Su, let me introduce you, this is Ugo Pina."

Semedo quickly pulled an old friend and came to Su Dong.

Su Dong is no stranger to the name, and it is said that Jose Semedo often goes out with him to pick up girls.

"Hi, Ugo, hello, I'm Su Dong." Su Dong hurriedly stretched out his hand.

"I've heard of you, Su, Jose often told me about you, and I'm glad you came to Sporting Lisbon." Hugo Pina was also very friendly to Su Dong, apparently because of Semedo's relationship.

"Hugo, Su Dong's transfer fee equals your record, so don't show it off in the future." Semedo laughed.

Ugo Pina apparently heard of it too, and shrugged, "I was fifteen years old then."

The implication is that I am now more than 300,000 euros.

Su Dong didn't care about it, he laughed.

"Su, let me introduce you, this is Jose Fonte, our main defender."

Semedo pulled Su Dong to the front of a tall player, "Jose, he is Su Dong, he is about the same height as you, but his speed is much faster than you, and his foot skills are better than yours, you probably won't be able to keep it. he."

Feng Te's face didn't show much expression, he stretched out his hand, shook Su Dong symbolically, and said provocatively, "If there is a chance, let's have a fight on the training ground."

After speaking, he deliberately cast a glance at Semedo.

The Cape Verdean shrugged, "I can't keep Sudong anyway."

Following Jose Semedo around the rest area, Sudong found out that Sporting Lisbon is really full of talent.

So far, he has not seen the three talents of Quaresma, Marcelino and Viana make the first team, nor has he encountered the two strikers who are in the same position as him. , but the second team still has a lot of talent.

It is said that after Ronnie enters the first team, Fabio Costa, who will officially take over the scepter of the first brother of the youth team, and Andres Cruz, who used to be the No. Midfielder Miguel Paischen, who took over the power of Viana, and Hugo Pina, who holds the record for the transfer fee of the youth team so far...

These people are very young, but they don't look simple.

For example, Andres Cruz, when he walked in from Sudong, saw that he had been practicing dumbbells.

Fabio Costa was practising like a sideshow, dazzling Su Dong.

However, he soon discovered that José Semedo, Hugo Pina, Miguel Paisan and others just got together, and they immediately chatted about women, nothing more than whoever and whoever got one The topics of beauty, etc., are talked about with great interest, like a group of roosters overflowing with male hormones.

After Su Dong met 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 integrate into these people in the future.

At least, so far, he has not met a girl who makes his heart move.

Or, trying to impress a picky virgin man is not an easy task in itself.

…………

…………

After staying in the second team for a while, Su Dong left with Ronnie.

The two walked side by side through the barbed wire to the dressing room of the first team.

The captain of the team is veteran Pedro Barbosa. This midfielder has been with the team since 1995 and has made great achievements for the team. The big guy who will enter the management.

Barbosa obviously knew about Su Dong for a long time, let alone Ronnie, a talented teenager in the youth training camp. He had already arranged everything for them, and brought the two into the locker room to introduce other players.

Su Dong was very nervous and excited along the way.

A few months ago, he was just in the stands, watching the players of Sporting Lisbon's first team play, how envious he was at that time, and how far away these people were from him.

Who would have thought that a few months later, he entered the first team of Sporting Lisbon and got a valuable opportunity to train with them.

Today, he is still a long way from playing in the first team. It is quite rare for Su Dong to be able to train with these famous European players.

Because of this, he followed Barbosa nervously all the way to the door of the locker room.

For him, this is not just a door, it is a brand new future.
