Chapter 37: Can your body bear it if you are so extravagant?
After testing his physique and speed, Su Dong's physical examination was basically fine.
In terms of personal skills, Sporting Lisbon knows him best because he has worked hard according to the training plan provided by Pontes and Nare. This also sounds unscientific, but it is something Sporting Lisbon has known and accepted for a long time.
Although it was just a simple physical examination, Su Dong brought a huge shock to everyone at Sporting Lisbon.
Too many incredible or unscientific things happened to him.
For example, his basic skills are very solid.
This is incomprehensible. Why can a person, at ?
This is neither common sense nor scientific.
The same goes for his speed.
There are people who are over 1.9 meters tall and very fast, but they usually appear on track and field fields.
In a football game, it is rare to see a player who is over 1.9 meters tall and very fast.
It's like a combination of Vieri and Owen.
If it was before meeting Su Dong, everyone would have scoffed at this situation because it was not scientific at all.
But now, Su Dong was standing in front of them alive.
The happiest person was the head coach of the second team, Jean Jamès.
After the start of this season, he watched his ace players being called into the first team one after another, from Quaresma to Marcelino, from Ugo Viana to Cristiano Ronaldo.
All these made the second team coach feel helpless.
But now, with Su Dong here, he has regained confidence.
…
The entire physical examination process lasted for a whole morning.
The next step was for the coaching staff to tailor a training plan for Su Dong, including some intensive training on a daily basis.
This is a youth training feature of Sporting Lisbon.
They will tailor intensive training programs specifically for outstanding youth players to make up for their shortcomings or strengthen their strengths.
Among them, Sporting Lisbon is best at training wingers.
These were not what Su Dong was concerned about. After completing the physical examination, he went to Aurelio's office to sign the contract.
Over the past period of time, Pontes and Nare have given Sudong a lot of help, so after signing the contract, Sudong took the initiative to invite them to dinner, and by the way, he also extended invitations to coaches such as Aurelio, Jean James, Cardozo and Osvaldo. The two directors left after witnessing the signing.
Although Aurelio is the team's technical director, he is also a kind old man in his fifties. Su Dong took the initiative to to dinner. Ronnie and Jose Semedo were also there, as well as Mendes and Manuel. Of course, he did not refuse.
So, the group drove back to the city from Alcochete and came to the famous Romario seafood restaurant.
Ever since he had eaten there last time, Su Dong couldn't stop thinking about the seafood here, but it was too expensive.
This time, when he signed the contract with Sporting Lisbon, in addition to a monthly salary of 2,000 euros and corresponding game bonuses, he also received a signing fee of 10,000 euros. He can still afford to spend this money on treating people to a meal.
Everyone feasted at Romario Seafood Restaurant and didn't leave until the afternoon.
The food is delicious and the prices are equally delicious.
The group ended up spending more than 300 euros, which was the most expensive meal Su Dong had ever had.
However, they also received a special treatment. Pontes also lived in the city and commuted to Alcochete every day. He promised to pick up Sudong and Ronny and their group for free.
When Aurelio heard that the three of them were going to rent a house together, he immediately said that the team could pay all the rent for them.
As the technical director, he still has this power, but the prerequisite is that he cannot rent a house that is too expensive.
If Su Dong and the other two wanted to rent those luxurious detached villas, that would definitely be impossible.
Speaking of renting a house, after dinner, Mendes took the three of them to the vicinity of Park of Nations while they had time.
…
The rent in Lisbon is actually quite expensive, after all, it is the capital of a country.
The city center is where the rent is the most expensive. The area around Marquis of Pombal Plaza where they rented before is exactly the most expensive area, but it is also the area with the oldest houses, commonly known as the old town.
The area around Wanguo Park is an emerging commercial district. Not only are the houses new, but all the supporting facilities are new as well.
For example, the Vasco da Gama Shopping Center is definitely very attractive to young people like Sudong and Ronny.
As young people, who doesn’t like a lively place?
Even when you have nothing to do, it's good to walk around.
Mendes had researched the surrounding area for them before, and found that there were many parks around, scattered in various communities, and none of them were very large.
Originally, it was thought that Sudong and Ronnie would have to pay the rent themselves, so the houses Mendes chose were all in the Moshcavide area, which is a residential area with small houses, only three or four stories high, but they are too densely packed.
But now that Sporting Lisbon is paying the rent, there is no need to be polite.
So Mendes took them to see the core areas of the Parque des Nations, which is near the Vasco da Gama Shopping Center, especially the area along the Tagus River. From there, one can see the Vasco da Gama Bridge from afar and the Riverside Park on the Tagus River. The scenery is magnificent.
After spending an afternoon choosing, they finally chose a large apartment less than one kilometer north of the Vasco da Gama Shopping Center.
This apartment is located on the fifth floor, equipped with an elevator and underground parking lot, with an area of 230 square meters. The most attractive feature is the side facing the Tagus River, with a 12-meter-long extra-large viewing balcony, from which you can see the entire Tagus River, the Vasco da Gama Bridge in the distance, and the riverside park downstairs.
The side unit, which originally could have had five bedrooms, was converted by the owner into a unit with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Two luxury suites sandwich the balcony, leaving a very spacious living room and dining room.
Both luxury suites have separate bathrooms and dressing rooms, and their large floor-to-ceiling windows face the Tagus River, which is quite acceptable. The only drawback is that the specifications of the two guest rooms on the north side are much worse, facing the road below, so it is inevitably a bit noisy.
The rent of this house is not cheap, four euros per square meter per month, but it has all the furniture and appliances, so you can move in right away.
What's even better is that the community downstairs is equipped with a standard-sized swimming pool. There is a gym just south of the building. There is also a five-a-side court in the riverside park downstairs. If you are in the mood, you can even run a mini pony along the river.
"The transportation here is very convenient and the security is very good, but the property fee is a little bit expensive." The agent was very frank.
Sudong, Ronnie and Semedo were all very satisfied with the house.
The three of them stood on the 14-meter-wide balcony, looking out to the other side of the Tagus River. The view was very passable.
"Except that it's a bit expensive, there's nothing wrong with it." Su Dong praised.
Compared to the two apartments he had rented before, this could be considered a palace.
Ronnie also kept nodding his head, thinking that this place was really great.
The Don José apartment they lived in before was a very old house with very poor facilities. It was nothing like this one, which had very complete facilities, especially the big TV in the living room.
"I'm already itching to buy a Sony game console." Ronnie laughed.
"With such a big living room, I can definitely entertain a few friends, invite a few beautiful girls, and have a party right away. That would be really great." The first thing that came to Jose Semedo's mind was beautiful girls.
Su Dong was wondering whether he should move his own fitness equipment over.
It would be a waste if there were no fitness equipment in such a big living room.
Mendes stood nearby, watching the satisfied expressions of the three young men with a smile, and he felt happy in his heart as well.
As an agent, his job is to serve his players.
The quality of service is reflected in the details, and whether it is in place depends on whether the players are satisfied.
When the three of them had finished their discussion, Mendes stopped talking.
"If there are no problems, then just sign it. I will go back and ask the club to reimburse me. The club will be responsible for the rent and property management fees of this house in the future."
All three of them nodded hurriedly.
It can be reimbursed anyway, so what’s there to be afraid of?
However, a problem soon arose.
Although this house has four rooms, they are actually two luxury suites and two guest rooms.
Not to mention the luxury suites, which have separate bathrooms and dressing rooms, but the guest rooms do not have such treatment.
Who's staying in the suite? Who's staying in the guest room?
Jose Semedo quickly realized this problem and immediately took the initiative to say that he preferred the house on the side of the road, so he chose one of the two guest rooms.
Obviously, he knew that he could live here mainly because of Su Dong and Ronnie.
The two luxurious suites naturally belong to Su Dong and Ronnie.
…
After choosing the house, we started moving in the next two days.
Although we are all relatively young and don't seem to have much luggage on weekdays, when we actually move, we find that we have quite a lot of things.
They then hired a housekeeper to clean the house, and the three of them were busy until Christmas Day when they officially moved into the house.
When the whole of Lisbon, and even the whole world, was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of Christmas, three teenagers from foreign countries were also immersed in the joy and excitement of just moving into their new home.
After nightfall, the three of them moved chairs and sat on the spacious balcony, looking at the river surface dotted with glittering scales, feeling particularly touched.
This was the best and most luxurious house they had ever lived in.
"I swear, I must buy one, no, four houses like this, and give them to my parents, my brothers and sisters, so that they can all have their own mansions!" Ronnie shouted loudly towards the lake.
Semedo laughed out loud, "I'm not as ambitious as you. I just want to buy one set, and then take turns bringing different women home to spend the night every day. That would definitely be the most comfortable thing in the world."
Su Dong and Ronnie looked at each other, and shook their heads and smiled bitterly at the same time.
"Can your body bear it if you're so promiscuous?" Su Dong scolded with a smile.
The laughter of the three men floated into the night sky, drifting over the Tagus River.
