Chapter 213 Super Genius [Fourth Explosion, Begging for a Monthly Ticket! ]

"Su, here!"

When Su Dong walked into an inconspicuous Argentine restaurant called Quatrain on Santaro Street in Barcelona, ​​Aimar stood up in the distance, raised his hand high and called his name.

Su Dong was too tall and stood out in the restaurant. He raised his hand slightly to indicate that he had seen him and walked straight over.

"Is this place hard to find?" Aimar smiled and invited Su Dong to sit in the empty seat next to him.

"The location is OK. There are many restaurants and hotels here. The driver found it right away. The specific location of the restaurant..."

Su Dong shook his head and sat down with a wry smile. It was really difficult to find an inconspicuous Argentine restaurant in the busiest city center of Barcelona, ​​on a street where restaurants from all over the world gathered.

But anyway, I finally found the place.

…

This restaurant is quite old, and the tables, chairs and benches all look a bit old, but the pure white tablecloth and the tableware on it are very neat, making people feel very comfortable, and it has a very retro feel.

There was a rectangular table for four people. Su Dong and Aimar sat on one side, and a stranger sat opposite them.

He doesn't look very old and feels like an Argentine, because not many people have long hair these days, especially when he hangs out with Aimar, so he's probably quite similar.

The more interesting thing is that this person's height is very close to Aimar's, so when the three of them sit together, Su Dong stands out from the crowd, while Aimar and the other two are particularly small.

Two dwarfs and a hunk! Su Dong couldn't help but think of this picture in his mind, which he found very funny.

"Su, let me introduce you to Leo Messi, my little brother."

Aimar took the initiative to introduce his friends to Su Dong, and then pointed at Su Dong, "Leo, Su Dong."

"Hello!" Su Dong took the initiative to extend his hand.

"Hello!" Messi shook Su Dong's hand.

After the two shook hands politely, the topic turned to this restaurant.

"This is my first time eating here too. Leo told me that this is one of the best Argentinian restaurants in Barcelona."

Messi nodded. "Yes, I come here often because it's only about three kilometers away from La Masia. It's very convenient to take the bus. It's also the first Argentine restaurant I found after coming to Barcelona."

Su Dong and Aimar both came at the same time, so naturally Messi was responsible for ordering the food.

Although he is only sixteen years old, he is very familiar with this restaurant. He has also started living in Barcelona a few years ago and is relatively independent.

Su Dong was not particularly particular about food, so he followed the host's wishes and just secretly moved closer to Aimar.

"Pablo, is he the little fan boy of Barcelona that you often mention?" Su Dong asked in a mutter.

"He's from Barcelona's youth training camp!" Aimar nodded and gave a thumbs up.

"But aren't you too stingy? After all, you are the player with the highest annual salary in Valencia, and you let a young player from the youth team treat you to a meal?" Su Dong looked at Aimar with some "contempt".

Aimar chuckled and said, "This is not my idea. Messi took the initiative to invite me to dinner and invited you along."

Seeing Su Dong frown, Aimar knew in his heart that Su Dong was actually a friend worth making close friends with, because he always thought about others, even if that person was Messi whom he met for the first time.

"Don't worry, he just signed a new contract with a good annual salary, and the penalty for breach of contract is higher than yours."

"Is it true?" Su Dong didn't believe it. His penalty for breach of contract was as high as 120 million euros.

Could the penalty clause for a Barcelona youth player be higher than mine? "His maximum is 150 million euros."

"How is this possible?"

"Are you ignorant?" Aimar laughed. He really liked to see Su Dong being humiliated because on the football field, Su Dong was always so majestic and omnipotent. It was also a pleasure to see him suffer in private.

"Tiered liquidated damages, didn't expect that, did you?"

"What do you mean?" Su Dong was very curious. He really didn't expect it.

"He plays for the youth team and his penalty is 30 million euros. But if he is transferred to Barcelona's second team, the penalty will automatically increase to 80 million euros. If he is promoted to the first team, the penalty will double to 150 million euros. Isn't it more than yours?"

After hearing this, Su Dong turned around and looked at the young boy with the iconic long hair of an Argentine player. He was impressed. How much will Barcelona think of him? You know, the higher the penalty, the higher the salary.

In other words, according to this contract, if Messi joins the second team, his salary will automatically increase, and if he joins the first team, his salary will increase again. There is no need for further contract negotiations.

"Barca is very optimistic about him?"

Aimar nodded with a proud smile, "The contract is signed until 2012, what do you think?"

Nine-year contract! This really opened Su Dong's eyes.

Could this kid really be the legendary super genius?

…

Messi heard the two people across from him whispering, but he was focused on ordering food.

He ordered three of his favorite dishes for Sudon and Aimar: Veal Milanese, Empanadas and Messi Milanese.

Milan Messi is his nickname for the dish, which consists of meat dipped in eggs and breadcrumbs mixed with tomato sauce and baked in the oven along with ham and cheese.

Empanadas are like fried dumplings filled with lamb and cheese.

Frankly speaking, none of these three dishes looked very delicious, but Messi and Aimar ate them with gusto and praised them repeatedly, which made Su Dong doubt whether he was eating the same dishes as them?

"What? Are you afraid of eating these things? Will Nuno Cruz make things difficult for you when you go back?" Aimar asked with a smile.

Su Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was not afraid, but he seldom touched such food on weekdays, especially such a big piece of roast beef. It was obvious that it was not easy to digest.

More importantly, none of these foods suited his taste and were not tasty at all.

Messi and Aimar's delicious food was hard for Su Dong to swallow.

But since you have ordered it, just eat it out of courtesy.

While eating and chatting, the topic soon turned to the game that had just passed.

Valencia defeated Barcelona 1-0 away thanks to Sudon's goal, which allowed the Bats to top the La Liga table with a three-point advantage, surpassing Deportivo La Coruna. Real Madrid followed closely behind with thirteen points.

After six rounds, Barcelona has only scored nine points and ranks eighth in La Liga.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This report card is indeed difficult to be satisfactory, and Rijkaard's coaching has also been questioned.

Before coaching Barcelona, ​​the legendary superstar's coaching record was unremarkable.

"There are a lot of problems within the club, including the youth team. My best friend left this summer and went to the Premier League."

Talking about his future in Barcelona, ​​Messi seemed very nervous.

Even Iniesta, a rookie who has already made a name for himself in the first team, almost left the team this summer. It is understandable that it is natural for a young player in the youth team like Messi to feel pessimistic about his future.

"What are your plans?" Aimar asked with concern.

Messi curled his lips and said, "You know, they invested a lot in my treatment, so I signed a long-term contract with them. Leaving is impossible. I am planning to find a chance to loan him out next year or the year after and play in the game first."

He is only sixteen years old and will be seventeen next summer, which is the right age to participate in competitions.

"If possible, I will talk to Valencia. We don't have many people on the right side."

It is true that Rufete and Angulo are both strong players, but the two players can only be regarded as diligent on the right. Compared with Vicente on the left, they still lack some flavor.

Messi smiled and didn't respond. If there was a real need, he would definitely contact Aimar.

"By the way, Su, you performed so well in Sporting Lisbon, there should be many teams wanting to sign you, why did you go to Valencia?" Messi asked curiously.

Su Dong smiled.

Among the teams that were interested in him at the time, Valencia was indeed the least impressive, even worse than Deportivo La Coruna.

"I have studied it carefully. Valencia is actually very strong. There are many outstanding players here, but the forward line is a little lacking. I think I can fill this shortcoming, so I came here."

Messi nodded and said, "Ricardo mentioned you to me."

"Oh?" Su Dong was very curious.

Will Quaresma still mention him in front of others?

"I think he regrets joining Barcelona."

When he said this, Messi's tone was obviously a little gloomy.

He sees no hope in this turbulent team.

Many people saw no hope, so they chose to leave.

Su Dong could feel that Messi also had the intention to leave, but the difference was that he still had a long-term contract with Barcelona.

What illness is Barcelona trying to cure him? Is it worth it for him to sign such a nine-year contract? "Don't talk about this. Just stay in La Masia and train for another year. Next summer, if there is a chance, I will help you find a way, whether it's a loan or a transfer, to find a team where you can play."

Aimar has been famous in European football and Argentina for many years and has many connections, so he must be confident.

"By the way, Su, if you meet a guy named Gerard Pique on the football field in the future, don't show mercy and help me teach him a lesson!" Messi suddenly chuckled and said with a smile.

"Why?" Su Dong and Aimar were very curious.

"He made a bet with me. He said that the two central defenders of Real Madrid were too useless, so they were beaten badly by you. If it was him, he would definitely be able to pin you down. But I think he can't do it, so we made a bet."

Su Dong and Aimar looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Su Dong himself didn't expect that eating someone else's meal would actually become a gambling game for them.

"Gerard Pique? Which team is he from? I've never heard of him."

"He was still playing for the youth team at La Masia, but he said he wanted to be the best central defender in the world. He was about the same height as you, and he was almost kicked out of La Masia because of his height."

Su Dong smiled slightly and nodded, "Don't worry, Gerard Pique, I've got it in mind! If we meet on the court, I'll help you beat him up so badly that even his father won't be able to recognize him!"

"Thank you!" Messi smiled expectantly.
