Strength and technology are eternal themes in the world of football.
If legendary superstars such as Pele and Maradona represent the height of football technology, then in the history of football, there has never been a lack of violent aesthetics that excel in strength.
Su Dong’s first star ability card [Bati GOL] describes this kind of violent aesthetics.
The skills of the God of War Batistuta are not good, and even many people are full of doubts about his Batistuta GOL, because Batistuta's scoring efficiency is not high enough.
To use Su Dong's words to mock Ronnie for being too reckless, shoot when there is a chance, and shoot even if there is no chance to create chance!
In fact, many of Batistuta's wonderful goals were scored with just a little effort, and he didn't know how many very good scoring opportunities he had wasted.
The data is there, and how to understand it depends on each person's preferences.
But one thing is undeniable, that is, one of the important reasons why Batistuta can attract so many fans from all over the world is that his football is full of strong male hormones and masculine wildness.
To put it simply, watching Batistuta score goals is just awesome!
It can be said that Batistuta is definitely one of the two banners of powerful center forwards in world football in the past decade.
And the other one is Inter Milan’s center forward, Vieri!
Someone once said that if Ronaldo is an alien, then Vieri is the closest person to an alien on this earth.
The two formed the world's top 2 striker combination at Inter Milan, but unfortunately, in the Serie A season that just ended, the two were just a little bit short and ultimately failed to bring Inter Milan the coveted league title.
Gazzetta dello Sport said Vieri's tragedy was like one of his football games at Atletico Madrid.
He scored four goals by himself, but the team still lost the game 4-5.
This is undoubtedly a tragedy.
…
Vieri is undoubtedly the top center forward in world football today and a model of a power player.
He is very strong, especially good at power confrontation, has superb heading ability, excellent shooting skills, and is good at catching the ball with his back. He also has good footwork, the ability to protect the ball, and even has no problem running long distances.
These characteristics make him more comprehensive than Batistuta and more terrifying in physical confrontations.
His playing style is extremely tough, and he is very good at using his incredibly strong body to crush his opponents. Whether with or without the ball, his playing style is full of oppression and impact.
So much so that some people say that Vieri is like a giant axe. No matter how solid the opponent's defense is, he can always cut a path through it and lead directly to the goal.
In the current or past few years of European football, center forwards like Vieri are rare.
Ronaldo has great personal abilities, but his physique is not an advantage, and he doesn't play as a center forward.
Trezeguet, Crespo, Van Nistelrooy, Roy Makaay and others are physically strong, but their strengths on the football field lie more in their ability to score in the penalty area.
Although there are also aerial center forwards in the current European football, they are not as good as Vieri in terms of ability, influence, or comprehensiveness. As for AC Milan's Shevchenko, although he is comprehensive, he is not as good as Vieri in terms of physical strength.
Su Dong also pays attention to European media reports and watches some football matches.
In his impression, if there is anyone who is more like Vieri, it should be Adriano, the Brazilian center forward on loan to Florence by Inter Milan in Serie A.
He even believes that if Adriano develops well, he is fully capable of surpassing Vieri.
The Brazilian center has a perfect body!
Whether it's strength confrontation, speed, explosiveness, balance, flexibility... or even footwork...
Adriano has almost all the qualities required of a perfect center forward. Not only the Soviet Union, but the whole of Europe and even the whole world are full of expectations for him.
And Adriano is the goal that Su Dong is striving to catch up with!
…
In the Star Ability Card Store, Su Dong quickly set his sights on Vieri.
Indestructible!
This is one of Vieri's star ability cards, which brings together some of his body skills, abilities and awareness.
Su Dong knew very well that he had not yet been able to fully unleash the maximum effect of this star ability card, but he was not in a hurry.
Over the years, the training level of professional football has been getting higher and higher, especially the physical training of players has become more and more scientific.
Nuno Cruz once said that if Pele and Maradona were born now, they would not be unable to adapt, but would be stronger and better than ever before, because the current training and medical levels are far unimaginable in their era.
Professional football is always on an upward spiral.
Therefore, Su Dong would not blindly want to train himself to be the second Vieri. He wanted to gain Vieri's experience in physical strength confrontation and heading competition, and then combine his own hard work to train his own body, and finally integrate it into his own thing.
Su Dong has every reason to believe that with his current training level, when that time really comes, he will definitely be stronger than Vieri!
This is the path he wants to take.
Thinking of this, Su Dong no longer hesitated and directly used his exchange qualification to exchange Vieri's [Invincible] from the store. Then he felt warm all over, and some things that did not belong to him emerged in his mind, and some strange feelings appeared in his body.
…
…
When Ronnie and Nuno Cruz got up, they saw Su Dong lazily lying on a beach chair basking in the sun.
That comfortable and relaxed look made them very envious.
Madeira is like a carefree, secluded place.
Some people say that this is a paradise, but others say that it is like a prison without doors.
Some even say that this is a crossroads and a springboard.
Different people will have different fantasies when they come to this island.
Ronnie was a little envious and jealous because Su Dong's current monthly salary was 4,000 euros higher than his, which made him seriously psychologically unbalanced. After seeing Su Dong's lazy appearance, he threw a football directly from the second floor. It fell into the swimming pool in front of Su Dong, splashing water and scaring Su Dong.
"You kid are looking for death!" Su Dong scolded with a smile.
Ronnie laughed and ran back to the room. Before closing the door, he urged Su Dong, "Hurry up and change your clothes. My mom said she wants to treat you to lunch at noon."
When Ronnie's father went to Lisbon for medical treatment, it was Su Dong who took the initiative to lend him all his belongings, and only then was he able to raise enough money for the medical expenses.
Because of this matter, after hearing that Sudong was coming to Madeira to live for two months, Ronnie's mother kept talking about treating him to a meal to thank him for his generous help.
After hearing this, Su Dong couldn't help but think of that poor and dilapidated mountain village.
The village of Falcao on the mountainside and the city of Funchal at the foot of the mountain seem like two completely different worlds.
Sometimes he wondered, if Ronnie hadn't played football, would he have been unable to leave that mountain village?
…
According to Nuno Cruz's request, during these two months, all the food and drinks of Sudong and Ronnie had to follow his recipe. As for beverages, he only allowed Sudong to drink his favorite Bull.
Therefore, what to eat for lunch also needs to be communicated in advance.
It just so happened that Su Dong hadn't visited Ronnie's father for a long time, so after the three of them finished breakfast, they changed their clothes, hailed a taxi, and went home with Ronnie.
The route is a bit similar to the last time we went into the mountains, but this time we don’t have to go through the city, so it’s relatively faster.
In less than ten minutes, the taxi arrived at Falcao Village near San Antonio Cemetery.
Originally, Su Dong and Nuno Cruz were planning to prepare some gifts or something, but Ronnie refused, so he had to come empty-handed, which made them somewhat embarrassed.
“Once we enter the village, follow me and don’t look around or wander around,” Ronnie reminded.
He spoke very seriously, and Su Dong and Nuno Cruz heard it clearly.
"The last time I came here, the taxi driver warned me that many people were drinking early in the morning and some were even taking drugs."
Nuno Cruz was shocked when he heard this.
He also didn't expect that Ronnie came from such a village.
Ronnie is used to it. "We have a kind of strong liquor here, mixed with honey, lemon, passion fruit and other fruits. It was originally used by fishermen to refresh themselves. It is very strong. After two glasses, you will enter the state. Later, more and more people use it to numb themselves. Of course, the main reason is that it is cheap."
At the end, Ronnie's mouth corners slightly raised.
Su Dong suddenly remembered that his father seemed to be drinking this kind of wine when he went to their house last time.
"When I was a kid, I had a friend who was taught by his father to drink this kind of wine since he was four years old. They call it inheritance."
Ronnie's tone was filled with a disdainful sneer.
Su Dong didn't know what to say. In fact, there were also such people in the countryside of his hometown in his motherland, but with the development of the economy, there were fewer and fewer such people.
…
The three of them walked side by side on the cement road in the village and didn't meet anyone along the way.
It was not until they were about to turn into Ronnie's intersection that a person came towards them from a distance.
"Hey, Su, look, that person looks so familiar." Ronnie patted Su Dong gently with his hand.
Su Dong looked in the direction of his hand and saw the person coming towards him, and he also felt that he looked familiar.
When the other party came closer, Su Dong's eyes lit up, "Pepe!"
The man opposite heard Su Dong's shout and suddenly raised his head, only to see Su Dong, Ronnie and the other two. He was also shocked, "Why are you here?"
But soon, the hapless Brazilian realized the danger.
"What a coincidence!" Ronnie laughed, enemies always meet again.
When Sporting Lisbon played against Maritimo, this kid was ferocious and deliberately knocked down Ronaldo. Now, he actually bumped into the guns of Su Dong and the other two.
"Su, do you want to beat him up?" Ronnie asked, rubbing his hands.
