I Want to Be the King of Football

　　Who is the best in Portugal?

　　 This award has always been controversial.

　　Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and Porto all have supporters, but overall, Sporting Lisbon is basically ranked last and has the weakest momentum. Benfica has the most audience and is even the most recognized traditional giant.

　　 Judging from the number of titles, Benfica has won 30 top league titles in Portugal and two Champions League titles at the same time. These two statistics are second to none in Portugal.

　　 But the problem is that after winning the top league championship for the last time in 1994, Benfica fell into turmoil.

Porto is currently recognized as the No. 1 team in the Portuguese Super League. From 1994 to the present, in seven years, Porto has won five top-level league titles, thereby winning 18 top-level league titles, surpassing 17 Sporting Lisbon.

　　 Not only that, Porto also won the European Cup in 1987.

　　Sporting Lisbon is also a traditional strong team. It has won two top league titles in the past seven years. However, whether it is in the total number of championships or the most golden UEFA Champions League, Sporting Lisbon lacks a lot of honor.

　　 Therefore, in the competition for the first giants, Sporting Lisbon’s voice is the weakest. At present, it is basically a competition between Porto and Benfica. The former is upstart and the latter is traditionally powerful.

Su Dong walked into the honor room of the Stadium of Light and saw a dazzling array of championship trophies. From this you can easily see the background of Benfica, as well as legendary stars and world-class players such as Eusebio and Rui Costa. , Are all from this team.

　　 Argentine son of the wind Caniggia and Czech genius Poposki and many other geniuses have left their footprints here.

　　 The one who is in charge of receiving is the scout Abel Silva.

　　 Since this time, he has been in contact with Su Dong and Mendes.

　　 Although the Portuguese Athletic Club is a partner team of Belerences, Belerences was a bit sloppy towards Sutton at the beginning, so that it was a bit behind Benfica in many aspects.

　　 Of course, as a satellite team, Bellerences still has an advantage in the transfer period.

　　The employees in the honor room are responsible for introducing the history of some important trophies to Su Dong, as well as the legendary stars behind them.

　　 At the end of the visit, he still looked forward to Su Dong and said, "I hope I can see your name here in the future."

　　 Although it is a bit old-fashioned, I have to say that it is really exciting.

　　 This is Benfica, Portugal's most well-established traditional giant.

　　……

　　 After visiting the honor room, Abel Silva took Su Dong and his party to the home team's locker room before the game started.

　　 The current head coach of Benfica is legendary player Tony.

　　 If you want to say that his career is quite brilliant, but if you want to coach, it is really not good.

　　 Before coaching Benfica twice, he only took nine games at a time and only twelve games at a time. Of course, both times were firefighting midway.

　　 Later, he went to Bordeaux in Ligue 1 and Sevilla in La Liga, and his results were very average. Among them, Sevilla only took ten games and ended get out of class.

　　 But even so, he still became the head coach of Benfica.

　　 Tony apparently knew that Su Dong and his party would come to visit, but his expression looked very solemn when the competition was about to come. This has something to do with Benfica's unsatisfactory performance this season and the failure to meet outside expectations.

More than 10 million euros were spent on buying Simao back, and more than 20 million euros were invested in the transfer market. This is definitely a huge investment for the Portuguese Super League team, but so far, Benfica is only ranked in the league. Fifth, still behind tonight's opponent Leiria.

　　 Tony just maintained his demeanor, shook his hand with Su Dong courteously, and then sent him away.

　　 Then Su Dong met the long-famous Benfica star Simao.

　　 This is definitely a European-level star, and Benfica is currently the strongest player.

　　 "I've heard that you behaved very well recently." Simang was quite polite to Su Dong.

　　 Su Dong also responded modestly, taking out the pen and paper he had prepared, and asking for an autograph and a group photo.

　　 In addition to Simao, the Portuguese internationals Thiago and Maniche, who performed well this season, are also on the list of Sutton’s autographs and photos. There is also German goalkeeper Robert Enke.

　　 The German goalkeeper has performed very well this season. He has already received the attention of giants including Barcelona and Manchester United. It is only a matter of time before joining the giants.

　　Walking around in the locker room, Su Dong asked for a few autographs and took a group photo. He got a familiar face in front of the players of Benfica's first team, which can be regarded as fulfilling the purpose of this trip.

　　 But when they walked out of the home team's locker room and were about to go to the fan stand upstairs, they met Leiria's coach, Jose Mourinho, from Portugal, outside the visiting team's locker room.

　　 "Hey, Jorge, why are you here?"

　　 Jose Mourinho saw Su Dong and his party from a distance, and shouted at Mendes.

　　 "Ha, Jose." Mendes immediately greeted him, "The war is coming, do you still have the mind to stay here?"

　　 Mourinho raised his eyebrows and raised his chin confidently, "Who else knows Benfica better than me?"

　　 The scout Abel Silva was a little embarrassed and couldn't say anything.

　　 Mendes smiled politely without comment.

　　 "If I didn't guess wrong, you are Su?" Mourinho's gaze fell on Su Dong.

　　 Among the group of four, Su Dong is the tallest and the most eye-catching.

　　 "Hello, Mr. Mourinho, this is Su Dong." Su Dong took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

　　 For this season's best coach in the Portuguese Super League, Su Dong still respects him very much.

　　 Leiria itself is not a strong team. Before Mourinho coached, their results were not bad, but they are currently ranked fourth in the league, which is absolutely surprising. Mourinho's coaching strength can be seen.

　　 Some media even broke the news that Porto coach Machado's coaching results did not meet expectations, and it is very likely that he will be dismissed. Once Machado dismisses, it will be Leiria's young coach Mourinho who will replace him.

　　 This is the man who is about to take over Porto.

　　 Although there was some excitement in his heart, Su Dong's attitude was calm on the surface.

　　 To put it bluntly, Mourinho is not good, and has nothing to do with him.

　　 "Jorge, we haven't seen each other for a long time, after the game, sit down and have a drink?" Mourinho issued an invitation.

　　 "Of course there is no problem." Mendes readily agreed.

　　 "Sue, do you want to be together?" Mourinho invited.

　　 Su Dong looked at Mendes and nodded immediately, "Of course, thank you."

　　 After making an appointment with the meeting place, Mourinho bid farewell and left and walked into the visiting team's locker room.

　　……

　　 "He stayed on purpose to block us."

　　Walking up the stairs to the stand, Mendes whispered to Su Dong.

　　 This surprised Su Dong, and was even flattered.

is it possible?

"Don't think too much, it doesn't mean they value you too much, because every team is very interested in making this kind of future investment. You are only seventeen years old. The cost of signing you at this time is very low and very low. , But as long as you can become a professional player, that is a profit of hundreds of thousands or even millions of euros, what do you think?"

　　Mendez’s words are like pouring a bucket of cold water on Su Dong’s head.

　　 To put it bluntly, it's all about profit.

　　 "Leiria is only a hundred kilometers away from Lisbon. If they have never heard of you, then there must be a fake. Now it seems that they are also very interested in you, which is a good thing."

　　 Sudong understands what Mendes meant. The more the team is interested, the more popular this player is and the more bargaining chips it has to negotiate.

　　 Of course, the premise is to be able to clearly know your own upper limit and where the opponent's bottom line is.

　　 For example, with the current strength of Su Dong, it is basically impossible to forcefully ask for a spot in the first team.

　　 At this time, Su Dong felt the benefits of the agent.

"Mourinho is very capable. I have been in contact with him for the past two years. He used to be an assistant to Robson, Van Gaal and others in Porto and Barcelona. He coached Benfica before and achieved very good results, but later because of Benfica. In the presidential election, the president who supported him dismissed get out of class, and the new president replaced him with Tony."

　　 When he said this, Mendes smiled at Su Dong, "This guy must report it. Benfica will suffer a bit tonight."

　　…………

　　…………

　　 It turns out that Mendes’ guess is correct.

　　 Benfica not only suffered a bit, but suffered a lot.

Mourinho’s team is indeed inferior to Benfica in terms of strength, but this team responded with four or three, but the defense was quite good, the players were insufficient, and the tactical execution was in place, which allowed the original offense to exist. The problem with Benfica is very depressed~www.wuxiaspot.com~ On the contrary, it was Leiria. With two counterattacks, Brazilian player Delle scored twice and helped Leiria defeat Benfica in a two-to-zero away game.

　　 This makes Abel Silva feel very embarrassed.

　　 Originally invited Su Dong to watch the game on the spot, just because he wanted him to see the team's victory, but he did not expect to lose like this.

　　 If it weren't for Leiria's insufficient ability to grasp opportunities, this would definitely be a fiasco.

　　 In combination with the player channel just now, Mourinho's confident look is really a bit...

　　 Mendes actually smiled in his heart and raised his brows at Su Dong, as if he was saying, see, am I right?

It was also the first time that Su Dong saw the game coached by Mourinho. It felt very stable. There were not many surprises and surprises. It completely restricted Benfica. In addition to Simao made several dangerous situations, Thiago had a few passes. Outside the ball, Benfica was not given the slightest chance in the entire game.

　　 is really a very capable head coach.

　　 Su Dong thought to himself.

　　……

　　 After the game, Su Dong and his party did not leave.

　　Mendez didn't even lie to Abel Silva, telling each other that he just wanted to stay and meet Mourinho, and Abel Silva could not help it.

　　 After waiting for about half an hour in the cafe next to the stadium and across from the parking lot, Mourinho was late.

　　 He first apologized to everyone, and everyone understood very well. After all, as the head coach, there are still many things to be busy after the game.

　　 But no one thought that the Portuguese, who had to report to him, had just finished apologizing, and immediately turned his head to look at Su Dong.

　　 "Su, if I were you, I would definitely not consider joining Benfica."
