Chapter 177 Upgrade: Ball Soil! [The third update of the explosive temper, begging for monthly subscription! ]
"I have decided to sell Salva to Malaga or Atletico Madrid."
When Su Dong received the call from Benítez, he was training hard in the gym of the hotel with Nuno Cruz. He did not expect that the Valencia coach would call him personally.
What he didn't expect was that after a few pleasantries, Benítez told him such a shocking secret.
Who is Salva? La Liga Golden Boot!
In the 1999-2000 season, which was the most chaotic season in La Liga, Salva, who played for Racing Santander, became the winner of the La Liga Golden Boot with 27 league goals. This made the Spanish center forward, who came from the Sevilla youth training camp and had always been unknown, instantly famous.
After winning the La Liga Golden Boot, Salva resolutely left Racing Santander and joined Atletico Madrid, which had been relegated to the Spanish Second Division at the time. In his first season with the Colchoneros, he scored 20 goals in the Spanish Second Division.
Unfortunately, Atletico Madrid failed to be promoted that season and Salva transferred to Valencia.
During his two years with the Bats, Salva's performance was very poor, especially in the past season, he only played twice in La Liga and was not liked or trusted by Benítez.
Every head coach has his own preference for his lover, and Benítez is undoubtedly the most stubborn.
As early as the winter break, Salva was loaned to Bolton in the Premier League, but he also failed to show his strength in the Premier League. Like Su Dong's former teammate Jardel, both of them sank in the Premier League.
Perhaps for Salva, leaving Benítez's Valencia is also a relief for him.
"In addition to Salva, I have also decided to sell Kalou. His most likely destination is Serie A or the Premier League."
Benítez seems to be trying to shock people with his words. He just announced Salva's transfer and now he mentioned Carew.
The problem of the Norwegian center is long-standing. Benítez believes that he does not meet his tactical requirements, but Kalou is the team's top scorer.
Of course, the title of top scorer is meaningless, because Carew only scored eight La Liga goals throughout the season, tied with attacking midfielder Aimar and left back Aurelio, and only one more than another striker Mista.
Carew's most exciting game for Valencia was the last match of the second group stage of the Champions League this past season. Valencia defeated Arsenal 2-1 at home. Carew scored twice, especially the amazing header in the second half after receiving a cross from Vicente on the left.
The two goals completely sniped Arsenal, and the Gunners were once again eliminated from the quarter-finals.
Although he has many shining points, Benítez has never been interested in Carew. The main reason is that Carew's technical characteristics cannot match Benítez's requirements. At the same time, Carew's salary is very high, which makes it difficult for Valencia to accept him as a substitute.
In this case, it is understandable that Benítez chose to sell Carew.
But what Su Dong was more interested in was why Benítez told him this? "After selling Salva and Kalou, we only have Mista and veteran Juan Sanchez on the front line."
Benítez paused deliberately at this point.
"No matter who wins the club's presidential election next, they must recruit players on the front line, and I have sent a very clear signal to both parties. I just want to bring you to my team!"
Su Dong was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Benítez would value him so much.
Of course, he couldn't possibly know that the reason why the Bats' coach was so eager to recruit talented players was because he had always suffered from the pain on the front line, and he finally met a center who was a perfect match for his technical and tactical requirements, and he would never let him go easily no matter what.
"Thank you very much for your trust in me, Mr. Benítez." Su Dongxian expressed his gratitude.
Regardless of success or failure, it is only right to express some gratitude since the other party values you so much.
"I hope you can give us a little more patience. The results of the presidential election will be announced soon. Roig promised me personally through Subiraz that once he wins the election, the first thing he will do is to sign you. If he fails, I will definitely do my best to convince Jaime Oti to sign you."
"So, during this period of time, I hope you don't make a decision too early."
Benítez's words revealed a sense of crisis, and he was obviously affected by the current rumors in the transfer market.
Valencia is not the only team interested in Sudong.
Sevilla has been very active, and Bayern Munich and Deportivo La Coruna are also interested in getting involved. These three teams are very likely to join, so Benítez called Su Dong and wanted to personally persuade Su Dong to buy more time for Valencia.
…………
…………
After hanging up the phone with Benítez, Su Dong began to think about it carefully.
The teams that have really been in contact with him now are Sevilla and Valencia. Bayern Munich and Deportivo La Coruna are also in the rumors, and Real Madrid is even less likely to appear.
Queiroz has met with Mendes and talked about Sudon and Ronaldo, but he has almost no transfer power in Real Madrid.
The head coaches in La Liga are different from those in the Premier League. The former have almost no transfer rights, unless they are meritorious and strong head coaches like Benítez, but they can only make requests and suggestions.
It is only June now and the transfer period is still long, so Su Dong is not in a hurry.
Mendes would call Su Dong at least once a day, and he also told Su Dong not to be too anxious now.
It was impossible for Su Dong to say that he was not anxious, but he also knew that it was easy to make mistakes when one was anxious.
…
After briefly discussing the content of Benítez's call with Nuno Cruz, Su Dong trained for a while and completed today's training task.
After dinner, Su Dong returned to the room, surfed the Internet for a while and read the news.
Beckham's transfer soap opera is about to come to an end. Now fans all over the world are discussing this transfer enthusiastically, even more than Barcelona's introduction of Ronaldinho and Eto'o.
This is the style of a top team! Barcelona had previously been rumored to be interested in Su Dong, but in fact, they valued immediate combat effectiveness more, so they chose Eto'o.
Su Dong believes that Bayern Munich also trusts Roy Makaay more.
The Sun, which has always been known for its accurate revelations, has vowed that Beckham's transfer to Real Madrid has been finalized and Manchester United has decided to let him go. After selling Beckham, Ferguson will introduce talented winger Cristiano Ronaldo from Sporting Lisbon for a transfer fee of 12.5 million pounds.
This is quite consistent with the information Su Dong received.
However, Su Dong knew more. For example, no matter whether Beckham transferred to Real Madrid or not, Ronnie would definitely transfer to Manchester United, because the transfer had been settled as early as when Ferguson personally stepped in to persuade Ronnie to join Manchester United.
Not only that, Su Dong also knew that Sporting Lisbon only got part of the transfer fee of 12.5 million pounds, and the other part was divided by agent Mendes and his partners in the UK.
It's just like when Mendes arranged for Ugo Viana to transfer to Newcastle.
This is how European football works!
…
After closing the webpage and computer, Su Dong lay on the bed and entered the Road to Football King system.
After several days of hard work, he finally mastered his defensive attributes.
"Current level: Ball Worker, next level: Ball Soil, upgrading requires 6,250,000 Ball King points, do you want to upgrade?"
The [Yes] option below finally turned green.
Su Dong chose [Yes] without hesitation.
"Upgrading, please wait..."
It took Su Dong a full year to be promoted from a ball worker to a ball player.
Obviously, as the level increases, the difficulty of each level is increasing, and it tends to be more and more difficult.
Perhaps, we don’t know when the next upgrade will come.
"Congratulations, you have successfully upgraded!"
"Current level: Soccer, next level: Warrior. Upgrading requires 31,250,000 points of King of Balls. At the same time, at least one of the following conditions must be met."
When Su Dong first saw the name "Ball Player", he was obviously stunned.
He didn't understand why the next level of "ball player" was called "ball player"? Ball player, ball player, ball manager, ball player, ball worker, ball player, ball player...
What on earth is this? Su Dong was a little confused. Is there any connection between these names?
Well, maybe not, it's just someone's bad taste.
However, Su Dong wanted to know what the next level of [Ball Player] was called. But soon, Su Dong had no time to think about it because he found a serious problem.
In the system's upgrade interface, the conditions and requirements for upgrading from a ball player to a ball player are clearly listed.
In addition to improving your strength, you must also meet one of the four conditions.
Win a league championship trophy from one of the four major leagues; win the Champions League trophy; win the European second-tier league championship trophy and the European Golden Boot Award; win the European second-tier league championship trophy and the European Cup championship trophy.
Each of the four conditions is extremely difficult.
Among them, the easiest ones seem to be the second-tier league championship and the European Golden Boot Award, but for Su Dong, this is still as difficult as climbing to the sky, because the European Golden Boot Award is not so easy to win.
Jardel scored 43 goals for Sporting Lisbon before winning the European Golden Boot.
Last season, Roy Makaay scored 29 La Liga goals and won the European Golden Boot. If the points are converted, if Su Dong wants to compete with Makaay in the Portuguese Super League, he must at least score the same number of goals as Jardel.
Except for the third one, the remaining three are obviously more difficult.
Although Sporting Lisbon won the Portuguese Super League and the UEFA Cup last season, with the departure of Ronaldo and Quaresma, and the departure of Andre Cruz and Albertini, can the Green Lions reproduce the glory of last season in the new season?
Don't be kidding! Maybe, there is a chance to go to Porto! But this tempting idea was quickly suppressed by Su Dong.
His first choice is still the four major leagues.
It would be best to go to La Liga.
