Chapter 361 Su Dong's Strongest Challenger
Before the Christmas holiday, Su Dong gathered his team together for a meal.
Before he knew it, there were already ten people gathered around him and working for him.
Some are personal trainers, some are personal chefs, some are full-time housekeepers and drivers...each of them is an elite in the industry.
These are just the people who had close contact with him. If we count those who were further away, the number would be even greater.
Su Dong usually didn't feel anything, but at this moment he suddenly realized that so many people were relying on him for their livelihood, and behind each of them was a living family that depended on him for their livelihood.
"I won't say much more than you are polite. Anyway, thank you all!"
Su Dong raised a glass of boiled water and held it high towards everyone.
"In the past year, thanks to everyone's hard work, I hope we can continue to maintain it in the future!"
As Su Dong finished his drink, everyone else stood up and toasted.
As an employer, Su Dong may not be the best, but it is definitely very good.
He has neither the temper of a big-name star nor the arrogance of bossing people around, and he is always polite in dealing with people.
Of course, if someone under him neglects his duties and delays his work, he will get angry and even fire them directly.
But overall, Sudong is a very good employer as long as you do your job well.
Treating people to a meal is obviously not enough. Offering high salaries is what Su Dong should do on normal days. This time, he also followed Chinese traditional customs and gave each employee a big red envelope before the European Spring Festival.
He won the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or thanks to the silent work of these employees behind the scenes, so he gave red envelopes to everyone, just to tell them that while he was eating meat in the front, they could follow behind and drink soup.
People always have selfish desires.
If they are the ones who are in the spotlight at the front, but the team is left starving behind, they will change jobs sooner or later.
Su Dong is a man with high demands. He prefers experienced people to new ones. He would rather take the initiative to pay more money and retain employees with high salaries than wait until the employees want to change jobs in the future and then argue with them, which would also damage the relationship between them.
Of course, the red envelopes given by Su Dong cannot be treated equally.
For example, Nuno Cruz, as the head of the private coaching team, obviously gets more red envelopes, and no one will complain about this, after all, he is the core backbone behind Su Dong.
Everyone else also received generous red envelopes, even the housekeepers and the driver. After receiving the red envelopes, each of them weighed them and smiled from ear to ear, obviously very satisfied.
When it comes to money, Su Dong is never stingy.

After the team went on holiday, Su Dong also ushered in the Christmas holiday.
His best friend Cristiano Ronaldo had originally invited him to spend Christmas in Manchester, where his family were also.
The Premier League did not stop. On the contrary, the Christmas holidays ushered in the busiest schedule.
Even if Su Dong went, Ronnie didn't have much time to entertain him, so Su Dong politely declined.
He called Messi and Iniesta and prepared to follow David Silva to the Canary Islands to spend the winter.
After hearing the news, Pepe of Portugal also took the initiative to follow.
So, the group headed towards the Canary Islands in a mighty manner. Su Dong even asked David Silva to help him rent a luxury cruise ship in advance, planning to go out to sea to relax.
After swimming in the swimming pool for a long time, Su Dong really wanted to go for some waves on the sea, let Messi, Iniesta and others pull him around, open his eyes and see what it means to swim in the sea.
David Silva said that the Canary Islands is a famous diving destination. Sudong has never tried diving and wants to give it a try. Messi, Pepe and other friends are also eager to try.
However, this means that my original idea of learning to drive during the Christmas holidays has been ruined.
…
Su Dong went to the Canary Islands, and other people in Barcelona were also busy.
Ronaldinho was the most generous. He directly paid for a private plane to go home. He was accompanied by several Brazilian players from the Barcelona team. They will all follow Ronaldinho back and participate in a commemorative match in his hometown to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the founding of a club. Ronaldinho's agent brother is also a shareholder of this club.
Deco is going back to Portugal to receive the Player of the Year award. The Portuguese Football Association believes that he is the best Portuguese player in the past year. This can be regarded as a recognition of Deco. After all, they do not treat him as an outsider.
Rijkaard took his wife and family to Malaga in southern Spain for vacation.
Of course, there were also some injured players who were unable to celebrate the New Year, such as Giuly, Gerard and Motta, who all had to report to the club every day. Among them, Giuly's situation was the most troublesome.
Giuly has the ability, and it's good. In the first few rounds of the league, he formed a front trident with Su Dong and Ronaldinho, and his performance was remarkable. However, after the injury, Giuly has never been able to regain his best form.
Iniesta's rise has made Giuly's position in the Barcelona locker room very awkward.
Xiaobai's characteristics are ball control. He is not fast, but he has a strong ability to connect the front and back fields. He is not strong in breaking through the wing, but he will take the initiative to retreat and assist in defense when Belletti advances, or when Xavi and Deco press forward. These are what Giuly does not have.
As for Messi, he also performed well on the right side, but he still lacks some skills and is too young.
The situations of Gerard and Motta are also very different. Both of them are direct products of Barcelona's youth training. Gerard has proved his strength in Valencia, but after joining Barcelona, he has never shown the outstanding performance he had in Valencia.
Su Dong believes that if Marcos Senna can successfully join Barcelona and demonstrate his strength, he will have no problem becoming a main player. After all, the player is already 28 years old.

When Barcelona started to recruit midfielders, their arch-rivals Real Madrid were also busy.
Camacho's sudden resignation disrupted Real Madrid's deployment. Goalkeeper coach Raymond then took over as acting head coach, but Real Madrid's results were not ideal, and signings have always been the focus of outside attention.
But before signing any new players, Real Madrid took the lead in finalizing an important appointment.
The legendary godfather-level figure Sacchi has officially moved into the Bernabeu and will serve as the technical director of Real Madrid.
This is definitely a surprising appointment, because Sacchi's reputation makes people dare not be careless.
In order to show his importance to Sacchi, Real Madrid legend Vulture Butragueno will give up his position as technical director to Sacchi, and he will only serve as Real Madrid's vice president, specializing in the public relations department.
The first thing Sacchi did after taking office was to select a head coach for Real Madrid.
At first, everyone thought that Sacchi would choose the Italian head coach, after all, this also fits Real Madrid's current needs.
Everyone knows that the Italian coach is good at defense, and the weakest link of Real Madrid today is defense.
Appointing Sacchi as technical director and hiring an Italian head coach is absolutely normal.
So, famous Italian coaches from Ancelotti to Lippi, Mancini and others were favored one after another.
But no one expected that AS suddenly released the news before Christmas that Real Madrid had turned over the sign of Brazilian coach Luxemburgo.
Who is Luxemburg?
Many people feel very unfamiliar with him.
The Brazilian head coach has led Corinthians, Palmeiras and Santos to win the Brazilian League championship five times, including the Sao Paulo State Championship in 1996 with Palmeiras.
From 1998 to 2000, he coached the Brazilian national team and helped them win the America's Cup in 1999, but was fired after performing poorly in the subsequent World Cup qualifiers.
What the Spanish media has publicized the most about Luxemburgo is his relationship with Ronaldo. The two once worked together in Cruzeiro, but Ronaldo refused to comment on Luxemburgo's coaching.
According to Ronaldo's friends, Ronaldo and Luxemburgo do not have a good relationship, not only because they did not get along well in Cruzeiro, but also because Luxemburgo had a fight with Ronaldo when he coached the Brazilian national team.
At that time, the Brazilian team was going to Asia to play two unimportant friendly matches. Ronaldo was still playing for Inter Milan and had a tight schedule. He told Luxemburgo that he could only play one game, but unexpectedly, Luxemburgo was furious. When Ronaldo traveled a long distance to the game venue, Luxemburgo sent him back directly.
Needless to say, Ronaldo was immediately annoyed.
In addition to the grudges of the past, it is also because Luxemburg is very demanding on the players. There have been reports that he is very dissatisfied with the obese Ronaldo and will target the Real Madrid superstars after taking office.
This undoubtedly casts a shadow on Luxemburg's coaching prospects.
Marca revealed that the reason why Florentino hired Luxemburgo was because of the recommendation of the famous Brazilian agent Figel, and his purpose was to sign the Brazilian football genius Robinho, who is known as the new Pele.
"When Barcelona signed the 19-year-old Su Dong for 80 million euros, Real Madrid searched the world for a super talent who could compete with Su Dong. Finally, they selected Robinho, who was known as the new Pele, from the football kingdom."
"Almost everyone who has seen Robinho play believes that he is a genius. Everyone believes that this genius, who is only 20 years old but has helped Santos win the Brazilian League championship, the Libertadores runner-up and many other honors, is the most talented striker in Brazil after Ronaldo."
"Real Madrid has high hopes for Robinho. We believe that after he joins La Liga, he will be able to challenge Su Dong and become the standard-bearer of the younger generation of Real Madrid, and then lead Real Madrid to achieve revival, just like what Su Dong did in Barcelona."
"New Bailey will become the strongest challenger to Sudong!"
Marca believes that it was precisely in order to sign Robinho and pave the way for Robinho's joining that Real Madrid decided to invite Luxemburgo to coach, because both of them were represented by Figel.
"As the superstars of the 1970s grow old, the players born in the 1980s will usher in a new era for La Liga."
"Su Dong and Robinho will undoubtedly be the best among them!"
I was busy all day today, sorry for the late update.
