Chapter 309 Struggle Pen and the Brazilian Tiantuan
Although Su Dong showed great enthusiasm for Ronaldinho and Deco, and gave Puyol and Harvey a very high evaluation, in fact, he deliberately kept a distance from both parties.
It wasn't because he didn't fit in, it was a decision made after discussions with Mendes.
Su Dong admires the skills of Ronaldinho and Deco very much. Both of them are outstanding stars on the court. There is no doubt about it, but outside the court, Ronaldinho and Deco are not good at it.
Needless to say, Ronaldinho, as a Brazilian, coupled with his personality, is inherently playful. Even in Barcelona, he often appears in nightclubs, and even sponsored a three-sister band in Brazil.
When Ronaldo held a birthday party, he invited them to perform.
Deco looks dull, but in fact, he is also very good at playing.
Ronnie's ex-girlfriend, Jordana, once said that Deco is famous in the night scene in Porto. He is young, wealthy, and famous. A man like him is the favorite of all night scene women, and many women take the initiative to throw themselves into his arms.
Deco broke up with his childhood sweetheart girlfriend because he cheated on the mistress.
Su Dong is not interested in knowing the private life of his teammates, let alone participating in it. He thinks that he should maintain self-discipline and try to maintain everything that he has hard-won, instead of squandering.
Therefore, whether it is Ronaldinho or Deco, they can become good friends, but it is difficult to become best friends.
Puyol and Harvey are another situation.
As local youth trainees in Catalonia, both of them have a strong local flavor and often participate in some local activities, which are respected and kept at a distance for Sudong.
He just came to play football, to improve himself, to use the platform of Barcelona to improve his career, there is no need to participate in this kind of thing, what is he trying to do?
Because of this, Su Dong deliberately stayed away from the urban area of Barcelona when choosing a house.
He listened to the advice of Messi's father, Jorge, and picked houses in the surrounding areas of Gava and Casteldefels.
This area is [-] kilometers away from the city center, and it is a closed mountainside villa complex, which allows Su Dong to stay away from too many disturbances during training and competitions, and also conforms to his clean living habits.
Ronaldinho introduced a mansion next door to Su Dong. The rent is not expensive, about [-] euros a month, but Su Dong did not choose to be neighbors with Ronaldinho, but euphemistically expressed that he really did not like that house.
Su Donggang refused, and was rented out by Deco as soon as he turned his head.
But Su Dong was not too far away, he chose a detached villa in the same community, halfway up a higher mountain.
Covering an area of more than 3000 square meters, the private garden has more than 2000 square meters. It is a two-story modern architectural style villa with an open-air swimming pool. When swimming, you can overlook the Mediterranean Sea at the foot of the mountain.
The fly in the ointment is that the owner of this house does not allow Su Dong to remodel the basement and private garden during the lease period.
With no other choice, Su Dong could only choose to make a move and buy the house directly.
It cost him a total of 150 million euros, with a budget of 200 million euros including refurbishment and remodeling.
For Su Dong, who has just received a signing fee of 150 million euros and an annual salary of 500 million euros after tax, this expense is completely affordable.
With this house, Su Dong's private team will also have an office.
This is also a major feature of Sudong.
From Sporting Lisbon to Valencia, and now Barcelona, Su Dong has always been the only person in the team who has a personal coaching team. Even when he negotiated with Barcelona, he included the personal coaching team in the negotiation category.
It's not that he can't trust Barcelona's coaching staff, but that he cooperates better with the private team.
……
These days, Messi has been busy with Su Dong, like a little follower.
Especially these days when he arrived in Barcelona, his father Jorge even came to work as a part-time driver.
Standing on the balcony of the single-family villa that Su Dong just bought, with the back against the high mountain, there is no higher villa behind this one, while the front overlooks the entire Castelldefels, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea and the beach, and even seems to be able to hear laughter from the beach.
"What a great place!" Messi exclaimed enviously.
"Then work harder and try to buy one here in the near future!" Su Dong encouraged.
Messi smiled shyly. He thought about it, but the distance was too far, so he didn't dare to think about it.
"I have already told the team, and they all agreed to customize a body strengthening plan for you. You must strictly follow the recipes formulated by Dr. Lacasco, and strictly implement the training plan formulated by Nuno Cruz.
Messi couldn't help nodding, and looked at Su Dong gratefully, "Thank you, Su!"
"Why are you polite?" Su Dong smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Messi's head, which has become a habit.
"If you really want to thank me, when you get to the first team, give me more passes and assists!"
"Don't worry, whether it's training or competition, I will help you score more goals!" Messi promised.
He is not a person who does not know how to be grateful, on the contrary, he knows how to be grateful, so when others left Barcelona, he chose to stay, because he is grateful for Barcelona's investment in him over the years.
Now, Su Dong spared no effort to help him, Messi is also very grateful, secretly promised in his heart, in the future, no matter what, he will follow Su Dong as the leader, help him score more goals, and repay him for his help.
Su Dong smiled, but didn't take it seriously.
The gap between Messi and him today is too great, just like the gap between David Silva and him in Valencia.
Strictly speaking, there is no competition between them at all.
This made Su Dong's assistance more simple and simple, and he only helped because of his friendship with each other.
And this point, whether it was David Silva at the beginning or Messi now, can feel it, and the feeling for Su Dong in his heart will be more sincere.
The most touching thing is the help without any benefits!
…………
…………
Barcelona's summer training location this year was chosen in Peralada, about two hours' drive from Barcelona.
This is a small village located in Figueres, Girona Province, northeast of Barcelona. It is most famous for its wine and music festivals. In April this year, after the Chinese team lost to Barcelona in a warm-up match [-]-[-], they lived here and set off for France from here.
In the Copa del Rey last season, Barcelona also played a game in Peralada and was very satisfied with the environment and life here. Therefore, Rijkaard and the club unanimously decided to set the summer training camp in this small village.
The advantage of doing this is that you can avoid the disturbance of the outside world to the greatest extent and focus on training and preparing for the battle.
Su Dong still brought his own personal coaching team into the camp. Since he had received the news earlier, everyone in Barcelona was not surprised. After all, this team was formed by Su Dong at his own expense.
After the previous Sporting Lisbon and Valencia, Nuno Cruz and others have already clearly known how to cooperate with the professional coaching team, and they have connected with Rijkaard's chief assistant coach Ten Carter early.
Compared with Benitez's Valenci, Rijkaard's training intensity is actually not too great. The pre-season training is also mainly based on physical reserve and state adjustment. Obviously, it is somewhat accommodating to the stars in the team and those who participate in the national team competition.
This also made Su Dong realize that the more he is in such a wealthy team, the more rare it is to practice extra.
Every player is very professional, come to train at the right time, and leave after the end.
This was the case even during preseason training in Peralada.
On the contrary, Su Dong's struggling pen is simply an alternative to the Barcelona stars who seem to be on vacation.
Not only Su Dong was surprised, but Nuno Cruz and others were equally surprised. Could it be that the stars of the rich teams don't need to train hard?
But after thinking about it, which player who can join the giants is not superior in strength and talent?
The most important thing for such a player is to maintain a competitive state, and there is no need to think about working hard to improve.
To use a sentence on the domestic Internet: If these talented stars still work so hard, how can others live?
As for the others, Su Dong couldn't take care of them. Anyway, he still maintained his own style, and practiced after training every day, because Rijkaard's training volume was not enough for him to eat half.
In the whole team, only Messi is still training with Su Dongjia, and everyone else goes to and from get off work on time.
Ronaldinho even pulled up the Brazilian F4 in the Barcelona team in Peralada, namely Deco, Sylvinho, Belletti, and Thiago Motta from the Barcelona youth academy.
Brazil F4 is closely united around Ronaldinho, giving full play to the happy and positive character of the Brazilians, advocating freedom and unrestrained, making the daily training scope of the team very active, and life after training is also quite happy.
This atmosphere has also infected everyone in the team, and Ronaldinho's status in the locker room has also risen.
Due to the retirement and departure of the two old captains Cocu and Luis Enrique, the team conducted a captain election during the training camp in Peralada.
This is also a consistent tradition of Barcelona. Puyol's captain was selected in this way, and this time he was still elected unanimously.
In the ensuing vice-captain election, Ronaldinho and Harvey got the same number of votes, which is a bit surprising.
But in the end, manager Frank Rijkaard's valuable vote went to Ronaldinho, while Xavi was named third captain.
As new aid, several youth team players including Su Dong and Messi have received Rijkaard's permission in advance and do not need to participate in voting.
