Chapter 77 What a vampire!

"Hello, could you give me a copy of the Public Newspaper, please?"
In the morning, when passing by a street newsstand, Nuno Cruz habitually stops to buy a newspaper.
On the stalls in the newsstand window were some of Portugal's best-selling newspapers. Without exception, the front page of every newspaper reported last night's match in which Sporting Lisbon defeated Maritimo 3-2.
This is a Portuguese Cup semi-final, attracting national attention.
Public newspaper even published Su Dong's photo on the front page, giving the young Sporting Lisbon player extremely high treatment and also giving him a new nickname - Mr. Key!
"In the past three games, the 17-year-old Chinese player Su Dong has scored four goals and one assist for Sporting Lisbon. This is an incredible achievement."
"These five goals brought Sporting Lisbon two crucial league victories, six valuable points, and a place in the Portuguese Cup semi-finals, earning them a ticket to the Portuguese National Stadium."
"No one expected that when Sporting Lisbon encountered an unprecedented predicament, the key figure who stepped forward to save the team was not the top star Jardel, not the core midfielder Joao Pinto, not the talented teenager Quaresma, not Rui Costa II Ugo Viana, but an unknown rookie player."
"In the past half month, the name Sudong has spread through the streets and alleys of Lisbon at an incredible speed, becoming the focus of discussion among all Sporting Lisbon fans."
"Almost all professionals agree that this young Chinese player nicknamed 'Little God of War' is rapidly becoming the most important core player in Sporting Lisbon."
"Technical director Aurelio Pereira also praised the young Chinese player in an interview with our reporter, believing that he will become the Kluivert of Sporting Lisbon and will also play a more important role."
Nuno Cruz read the cover story and a slight smile appeared on his face.
He is Su Dong's personal trainer and they share a common interest. The better Su Dong performs, the more he will benefit.
Of course, for the time being, he cannot see any benefits, but he believes that as Su Dong's status and influence in Sporting Lisbon and even in the Portuguese Super League increase, the name Nuno Cruz will appear in the newspapers sooner or later.
After paying for the newspaper, Nuno Cruz bought breakfast with satisfaction, then went to the market to buy vegetables for the whole day, and then returned home leisurely.
Half an hour later, he put his daughter on the school bus and drove to Alcochete.
After parking the car, Nuno Cruz went straight to the gym.
As soon as people walked to the door, they heard bursts of noise coming from inside.
Through the window, Nuno Cruz saw Su Dong doing pull-ups in the gym.
He has a football between his thighs, and when he does pull-ups, he has to keep his legs close together to ensure that the football does not fall out.
After doing a set of pull-ups, his legs loosened and the football between his hips fell down, so he stretched his legs to practice juggling.
During the whole process, his hands never left the horizontal bar. He relied entirely on the strength of his hands and body to maintain the training, which had the effect of exercising the muscles all over the body.
Finally, he kicked the ball into the basket not far in front of him and completed a "shot".
After resting for 15 seconds after landing, Su Dong clamped a football between his legs and thighs, jumped up again, and started a new round of training.
Nuno Cruz stood beside the bed, watching Su Dong training hard and sweating, and he was very impressed.
What others saw was Su Dong's sudden rise on the field, and the four goals he scored in the last three games, but as a personal coach, what he saw was that Su Dong arrived at the training base an hour and a half earlier than others, left an hour and a half later than others, and got up early every morning to train...
If players like this cannot succeed, then God is really blind.
After seeing Su Dong complete another set of pull-ups and dribbling, Nuno Cruz walked into the gym.
"Okay, Sue, we played for an hour last night, so today's training should be a little less intense."
Nuno Cruz came to Su Dong. He knew that Su Dong must have completed the routine warm-up exercises by himself, such as spider crawling, lizard crawling and so on, and he didn't need to worry too much about these.
"Where's Ronnie?" He felt a little strange.
Ronnie is also a player who trains extremely hard. He always works together with Su Dong on weekdays, but he was nowhere to be seen today.
Su Dong wiped his sweat with a towel and said with a smile, "He didn't go home last night. I don't know where he went. I guess he hasn't gotten up yet."
Nuno Cruz thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but laugh too.
It was no secret within Sporting Lisbon that Ronnie was dating Jardel's sister Jordana.
One is a strong teenager who is in puberty with excessive testosterone, and the other is a hot and energetic girl. Just think about it, and you can imagine that when these two get together, nothing they do will be surprising.
"You still have to remind him to be restrained." Nuno Cruz winked at Su Dong mischievously.
Su Dong smiled helplessly. Having a girlfriend is really a waste of time and energy.
When Ronaldo dragged his tired body and returned to the team on time to participate in recovery training, his agent Jorge Mendes also appeared in front of the desk of Sporting Lisbon's technical director Aurelio Pereira.
In fact, Aurelio Pereira didn't like dealing with Mendes.
how to say?
Mendes gives people a very complicated impression. If you say he is smart, he is not annoying. If you say he is easy to get along with, he often does things that give his "opponents" a headache.
After several times of getting along, Aurelio had to admit that Mendes, a rising star who could force Vega into such an embarrassing situation, had outstanding abilities and character, even better than Vega.
But is this a good thing for club operators?
"Jorge, the main reason I asked you to come here today is to talk about the players."
As Aurelio spoke, he couldn't help but think of the fact that there are already four Mendes players in the team, and Quaresma has officially joined Mendes not long ago.
This is a bit troublesome.
Sudon, Ronaldo, Ugo Viana and Quaresma, the four young players that Sporting Lisbon values ​​most, are all Mendes' players. This also means that Mendes has a considerable influence on Sporting Lisbon.
Of course, if Mendes is smart, he should know that the goals of players, clubs and agents should be consistent.
"I have already contacted partners in the UK and Italy, and I plan to get Ugo Viana out first."
Of the four players, Hugo Viana is the oldest at nineteen, eight months older than Quaresma.
"From the feedback we have received so far, teams in England and Italy are very interested in Ugo Viana, so you should be mentally prepared to lose him this summer."
Aurelio frowned and nodded. He was prepared for this.
Even when Mendes arranged for Hugo Viana to play abroad, they fully supported it.
Sporting Lisbon relies on this to make a living.
"We are still short of midfielders in the second team. Ugo Pina and Miguel Paichon are still lacking in talent, and Boloni is not very satisfied with them. If there are good young players in China and Brazil, you should also help us keep an eye out for them." Aurelio said to Mendes.
Mendes was once a partner of Brazilian football godfather Figel and has many connections in Brazil.
"Both Porto and Benfica are competing fiercely for players. The more outstanding ones, such as Thiago and Maniche, are very popular. I will keep an eye on Brazil." Mendes also felt a headache about this.
After sending away Ugo Viana, Sporting Lisbon's midfield must be supplemented. If he can recommend a capable player, he will continue to maintain his influence on Sporting Lisbon.
"If it doesn't work, then bring in or rent a veteran." Aurelio revealed the management's intention.
Either young players or experienced veterans, this is the team building strategy of Sporting Lisbon.
In addition, Sporting Lisbon also has a Spanish midfielder Tonito who is on loan to Santa Clara. This player has performed well this season and if he returns to the team, he will also be a strong addition to the midfield.
"And one more thing."
"you say."
"We are considering re-signing a professional contract with Su Dong and Ronnie."
Both players have performed well recently and have been given consecutive opportunities to play in the first team, especially Sudong, who has been in the limelight recently. The management of Sporting Lisbon has also realized the importance of Sudong, and it is appropriate to sign a new contract with him.
Usually, when a club says this, it means they are going to increase salaries.
In professional football, if you want players to work hard for you, the prerequisite is to pay them enough.
If you give it yourself, it shows sincerity and represents your respect. If the agent comes out to ask for it, that would be a bit unkind.
Mendes stared at Aurelio for two seconds, then suddenly smiled. "Aurelio, they have only signed the contract for less than half a year. Now they are renewing it. Isn't it a bit hasty?"
"Indeed, but considering their recent performance, we think it is necessary to reward . We hope they can keep up the good work and perform better." Aurelio groaned in his heart.
The club took the initiative to renew the contract, but the agent politely declined. There are basically two meanings.
Either they want to leave the team, or they want more.
From the current perspective, there is almost no possibility that these two 17-year-old young players will leave the team, because they are in a critical period of growth. Leaving the team at this time will easily interrupt their upward pace.
Then there is only one possibility left.
Mendes, the old fox, wants more.
What a vampire!
Aurelio cursed angrily in his heart.
