Chapter 276 Who is he?
"Why are you so nice to me?"
When Su Dong heard David Silva suddenly ask this question, his first reaction was to laugh.
"Because I like you!"
"Ah?" David Silva jumped up in surprise and looked at Su Dong in disbelief.
Su Dong read shock in his eyes.
I treat you as a brother, and you actually have such unreasonable expectations of me? "Fuck!" Su Dong slapped him directly, hitting his head lightly, "What the hell are you thinking? Am I that kind of person?" He felt particularly wronged.
I am a handsome man who is 1.95 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms. Do you think I could be gay? David Silva was patted on the head, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he laughed and said, "I told you, I am not your type. You are so tall and I am so short. We are not suitable for each other."
Su Dong pointed at David Silva speechlessly and said seriously, "I don't like men!"
"How do you prove it?"
Su Dong was speechless, how could I prove it?
"Forget it. I'm too lazy to argue with you." Su Dong was a little depressed.
He originally just wanted to play a joke on David Silva. What boy in his teens or twenties hasn't said a few cheesy words of love to his best friend of the same sex?
Unexpectedly, the argument with this short guy became more and more confusing.
"No, actually, what I want to ask is, why do you take care of me so much?" David Silva asked again seriously.
"Do I take good care of you?" Su Dong replied unhappily.
David Silva nodded seriously. Although he didn't say anything, Su Dong could read gratitude in his eyes.
This immediately calmed Su Dong down.
"To be honest with you, I only take care of you because I like to touch your head, right? You see, Aimar doesn't let me touch his head." Su Dong couldn't help laughing at the end.
That's the advantage of being tall.
Although it is a courtesy, the question is, can they touch Su Dong's head? "I'm serious." David Silva was a little depressed.
Now Su Dong also noticed his distress, thought about it, and became serious.
"To be honest, we first met because of swimming. Later, you trained with me, and I felt that you were a persistent person. You were also a good football player. You are also a player of the Spanish national youth team, right?"
David Silva nodded, these were facts.
"You know, when I was at a loss on the streets of Lisbon, I met my best friend. He helped me train and improve together. If it weren't for him, maybe I wouldn't be who I am today!"
Su Dong is very clear that the reason why his strength is constantly improving is because the Road to King of Football system is constantly improving his potential, but Ronnie has indeed helped him a lot along the way, especially when he was just starting out.
"So, I am willing to help more people who are waiting for opportunities within my ability. I think you are a very capable and promising player. You know, I never say those hypocritical and polite words. I really think you can do it, so I suggested Benítez to give it a try."
"Since Benítez also talked to you, it proves that he also thinks you can give it a try. If that's the case, then why do you doubt yourself? Is there anything to worry about?"
Su Dong's question left David Silva speechless.
Since the head coach has decided to use him, what does he have to worry about?
For an 18-year-old player to play in such an important game, all the pressure should be on the head coach.
Even if he played badly, no one would blame him, right? "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's good to be responsible, but it's not good to have wild thoughts!" Su Dong smiled and reached out to touch David Silva's head. It felt really comfortable.
"Also, don't worry. When we get to the court, I'll be there to support you. What are you afraid of?"
At the end of his speech, Su Dong raised his head confidently and laughed.
David Silva raised his head and saw two words in Su Dong's eyes.
trust!

No one expected that Monaco could make it to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Just as after the first round of the quarter-finals, no one expected that this Ligue 1 team would be able to reverse Real Madrid.
Monaco is well aware of its own strength positioning.
Before leaving for the away game, Monaco held a press conference and announced the team's 18-man roster for the trip to Valencia.
In an interview with the media, head coach Deschamps said that Valencia is one of the best teams in Europe this season. It not only has an unbreakable defense, but also has the best scoring firepower in Europe.
"Sudon has scored 30 goals in La Liga this season. Together with Vicente and Rufete, this is the most powerful striker in Europe this season and the biggest challenge we face in away games!"
Deschamps said that how to defend against the attacks of Sudon and others will be a problem that Monaco needs to solve at the Mestania Stadium.
Deschamps could not hide his happiness about Aimar's absence.
The Monaco coach said that he has made sufficient preparations for Valencia's lineup, and Monaco is confident of coping with it with or without Aimar.
"Of course, Aimar's absence has had a big impact on Valencia, but we can't be complacent about it."
As for away games, Deschamps said he didn't want too much.
"Even if Valencia scores first, we won't be surprised because Valencia's attacking power is really strong at the Mestalla Stadium. We are confident that we can escape unscathed from the away game even if the opponent scores first."
Deschamps' meaning is very clear, Monaco does not want to win away, but wants a draw and away goals.
This is also a very pragmatic tactical approach.
With the away goal, Monaco will play more confidently when returning to the Stade Louis II.
…
In order to better prepare for the match against Valencia, Monaco arrived in Valencia at noon the day before the match.
In the afternoon, they got Valencia's 18-man roster.
As usual, Monaco has always arranged scouts to track and spy on Valencia.
Getting the 18-man roster is just the final confirmation.
But this time there were some changes.
"David Silva?"
Deschamps saw a strange name that shouldn't have appeared there.
"who is he?"
Jean Petit is an old servant of Monaco. He is eleven years older than Deschamps. He has always been an assistant coach. He has been assisting the head coach of Monaco since the 1980s. He can be said to be a veteran of many dynasties and has rich experience.
"An 18-year-old young player was selected for the Spanish youth team. He looks good, but he is skinny and short. It seems that he is going to replace Aimar. His height is also very close. However, he has played very few games so far this season. He has performed well in the second team."
Deschamps nodded, frowned and asked, "Will it be held?"
"Probably not!" Gene Pettit guessed. "Benitez never likes taking risks when using his troops, and he strives for stability, so he never uses players he is not familiar with, and rarely takes risks. I guess it is very likely that he will be a substitute, just in case, as a surprise weapon for changing the formation."
Football is known as a war without the smoke of gunpowder.
In a football game, you should not only study your opponent, but also your opponent's coach.
What kind of personality does Benítez have and what kind of tactics does he like are all things that opponents must focus on studying.
Deschamps is quite familiar with Benítez and he also agrees with Petit's speculation.
Why would Benítez, who has always been cautious, suddenly take the risk of letting an 18-year-old player play?
"It seems that he really doesn't like Canobbio." Deschamps laughed.
If we really talk about seniority, Canobio should be the substitute. Now Canobio is not even on the roster, but David Silva is.
"Canobio is still very capable." Petit laughed.
"Professional players are like this. Once confidence is gone, it is very difficult to rebuild it. Canobbio has lost his confidence in Valencia. Maybe changing teams will be completely different."
Deschamps is a very successful professional player!
…
In both rounds of the match against Real Madrid, Monaco adopted a 4-4-2 tactic, but there were big differences.
At the Bernabeu, Deschamps adopted a double striker combination of Morientes and Giuly, and put Cisse and Gilvert on the right. As a result, Monaco completely lost the advantage of wing attack at the Bernabeu.
After returning to the Stade Louis II, Deschamps made decisive adjustments. Ibarra, the right back from Porto, started the game, Giuly played as the right forward, and Pulso and Morientes formed a double striker.
This style of play allowed Monaco to fully utilize its advantages.
Evra and Rothen on the left, Ibarra and Giuly on the right, Monaco completely suppressed Real Madrid on both flanks.
On the bench, Monaco also has two key players, Adebayo and Nonda, both of whom have impressive strength.
This time facing Valencia, Monaco once again came to Spain. He decided to continue the style of play from the previous game against Real Madrid. He believed that this was Monaco's strongest force at the moment.
"The biggest problem now is the centre-backs."
Deschamps has not yet made a final decision, that is, who should be arranged to freeze Su Dong? This is the biggest problem facing Valencia.
Su Dong is such a troublesome player.
Gilvert, Squillacci and Rodriguez are the three central defenders that Deschamps trusts.
In terms of height, Gilgeous-Alexander is two centimeters shorter than the other two, only 1.83 meters tall, but he is a left-footed player and he has been in pretty good form recently.
Squillaci is more stable, but his condition is not very good, while Su Dong is proficient in both feet. Two right-footed central defenders are indeed not very advantageous. This is also a detail that must be paid attention to.
Precisely because of the pros and cons, Deschamps has not yet decided who will start and take on the heavy responsibility of freezing Su Dong.
This is the key to whether Monaco can escape from the Mestalla Stadium unscathed!
