i want to be king

Chapter 145 Su Dong's First Time

Facts have proved that not only Albertini and other veterans are worried, but coach Boloni is even more worried.

Although he still formed a four-three-three lineup, he adopted a three-back configuration.

At the same time, in the locker room before the game, he urged the team to stabilize their defense after the game started.

"Remember, this is the Olympic Stadium in Rome, Italy, so don't be careless at any time!"

But when the players walked out of the locker room and went to the player tunnel, Su Dong, Ronnie and Quaresma got together.

"I think everyone looks too lacking in confidence." Su Dong raised his concerns.

"Normal, compared with us, Lazio is indeed too strong." Quaresma said.

The disparity between strength and weakness is indeed an objective existence, and it is normal for players to appear unconfident because of this.

Using the most obvious comparison in the media, the gap between the Portuguese Super League and Serie A is that the champion of the Portuguese Super League and the fourth team in Serie A will participate in the third round of the UEFA Champions League qualifiers together.

A little more in-depth comparison, the salary of Lazio's star star can almost be equal to the entire Sporting Lisbon team.

This is indeed a disparity that is difficult to make up!
But if you play with such a mood, how can you win?

Ronnie looked at Su Dong and asked with a slight smile, "What are you going to do?"

The two buddies are very understanding with each other, what Su Dong is thinking, Ronnie can guess right.

"How about trying to play a wave of offense after the opening?"

Ronnie laughed happily: "Try whether Lazio is really that strong?"

"Of course!" Su Dong also laughed.

The two looked at Quaresma in unison. The latter didn't have much courage, but seeing that Su Dong and Ronnie had reached a consensus, one-on-two, he could only nod in support.

"I will fully cooperate with you!"

Upon hearing this, Su Dong and Ronnie walked over, holding Quaresma on the left and right.

"Take it easy, Ricardo, when you are nervous, your movements will become stiff, and you will be half a beat behind others, how can you perform well?"

"That's right, Favalli is a 30-year-old man, can't you beat him to death?"

All three laughed.

Andre Crews was walking behind them, and when he heard their conversation, he couldn't help feeling a little bit sad.

His and Albertini’s thoughts are, to put it mildly, mature, but to put it badly, they are looking forward and backward.

Although Su Dong and the others are a little bit of a newborn calf, they don't want to win the game, so why don't they need their vigor?

It's good to be young!

…………

…………

How do you feel about facing the world's top superstars?
Su Dong's answer was that he was getting a little nervous.

The moment I saw Stam, I really started to get nervous.

The Dutch central defender is tall, with a full face, and looks not easy to provoke, especially when he glanced at Su Dong mightily and domineeringly, his sharp eyes seemed to warn, "Boy, don't mess with me, I can't control myself when I get angry!"

This was once the world's top central defender who was still rated as one of the world's top central defenders by Albertini after a serious injury.

How strong is he?

Su Dong has no concept at all, because he has never played against such a central defender.

Tonight is his first time!
Just when Su Dong hesitated, wondering if he should take the initiative to go forward, say a few words to Stam, express his admiration for him, and say something like I grew up watching your competition, Su Dong felt a chill in his heart.

Following the feeling, I found that there was another person in the Lazio queue peeping at me.

NO.14 player, Diego Simeone.

Su Dong is no stranger to this guy. Of course, the most impressive thing is the [-] World Cup in France, the red card that caused Beckham to become the public enemy of the UK, and Simeone was the instigator.

Of course, Beckham did commit a foul, but on the flip side, Simeone's playing style is indeed too dirty.

This gangster-like appearance is not a good person at first glance!

"Did you know? They say that this kid is like a hyena from the Pampas grassland. He only eats meat, especially when he is eyeing his prey. He will never let go until he bites off a piece of meat." Andre Cruz reminded him from the side.

Su Dong saw that what he said was a little scary, and smiled slightly: "Aren't all hyenas in Africa?"

Andre Cruz was taken aback for a moment, at this time, he could still bar?

But yes, it's a good mood.

"Anyway, be careful with this guy!" Andre Cruz cursed angrily.

Su Dong will not take Diego Simeone lightly.

In the pre-match preparation meeting, the materials submitted by Sporting Lisbon's scouts focused on reminding players to pay attention to Simeone.

Although it is said that he plays a late midfielder, in fact, Simeone is not a rough and reckless man. On the contrary, he is an Argentine midfielder with both offensive and defensive skills and delicate feet, and can even play on the wing.

Simeone's back-up is very threatening, because he generally does not go forward, as long as he goes forward, he must achieve results.

Either on offense or on defense.

In this game, Mancini's double forwards are Chiesa and Lopez, who are not tall. The former has scored 22 goals in Serie A twice, and even almost won the Serie A Golden Boot. The latter is Lazio's top scorer this season.

Also sitting on the bench is Inzaghi's younger brother, Inzaghi Jr.

All in all, tonight's battle, the test of Sporting Lisbon is not lost to the battle against Porto.

…………

…………

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially kicked off.

Sporting Lisbon put on a defensive counterattack posture from the beginning, but Lazio was not aggressive from the beginning.

Albertini was quite right. Bologni was a conservative, and Mancini was not radical either.

As the game started, Sporting Lisbon quickly had a chance to advance to the opponent's 30-meter area.

When the ball hit the left side, Su Dong immediately ran to the left side of the penalty area, got stuck, and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Ronnie saw the right moment, made a diagonal pass, and sent the ball into the penalty area.

Generally speaking, the next development of the plot should be that Su Dong grabs the landing point, hits the goal with a header, or makes a ferry.

But when the ball flew over, Su Dong felt a huge force from behind, clinging to his back, pushing him to stagger forward, and directly lost his position.

The ball just flew over his head.

Su Dong turned around, but saw a figure wearing the No. 31 jersey.

Yap Stam!
With just one click, the Dutch central defender completely squeezed him away, causing him to lose his position. This feeling has not been experienced by Su Dong for a long time in the past.

But for Stam, it seems that he has done a very trivial thing.

This made Su Dong a little ashamed.

……

Soon, Sporting Lisbon tried to break through from the wing and earned a corner kick.

Albertini quickly served a corner kick and played tactically. Su Dong ran over to catch the ball.

As soon as he received Albertini's pass, Su Dong turned around and tried to pass, but unexpectedly, Stam, who was marking him behind him, suddenly blocked the ball with his foot and directly blocked it.

Foul ball.

The Dutch central defender slowly backed away again, not stopping at Su Dong.

This made Su Dong feel a wave of contempt.

Perhaps, in Stam's eyes, Su Dong is just a fledgling kid.

……

Sporting Lisbon took two consecutive throw-ins and was forced by Lazio to retreat near the center line.

Quiroga stood out of bounds, holding the ball with both hands.

Quaresma was close to the right line, while Su Dong saw an opportunity, took the initiative to leave the central defender's area, and ran directly to catch the ball.

Quiroga also threw the ball to Su Dong immediately.

Lift your foot to stop the ball, turn around and start...

Just as Su Dong was about to rush forward, his legs were about to exert force, but he felt that he lost his center of gravity.

I saw Diego Simeone ramming hard from the side, causing him to lose his balance and leap forward.

The Argentine midfielder raised his hands high, indicating that he had not fouled.

The referee only gave Sporting Lisbon a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

Su Dong sat up on the grass, surrounded by Lazio players, and everyone looked at him with good intentions, as if he was about to tear himself to pieces at any time.

Does this count as slaughter?
Su Dong got up from the grass, and looked at these rare football stars in front of him, which he could only see in newspapers and TV, but now they were playing against him.

But they are not cute at all.

It was also at this moment that Su Dong really realized that it turned out to be like this to fight against these stars.

They are doing everything they can to deal with themselves!
But I am not a fuel-efficient lamp!
Su Dong gritted his teeth, seeing that Queiroga was about to take a free kick, he ran over immediately and raised his hand for the ball.

Quiroga quickly kicked the ball to Su Dong who was in the open space.

After Su Dong stepped out to stop the ball, without waiting for Simeone to approach, he slammed the ball with his right foot, and the ball passed Lazio's retreat side Cesar, and fell behind.

Before the left back Favalli, Quaresma stopped Sudong's pick pass with his chest, and quickly kicked out his right foot again, and picked the ball back to Sudong from midair.

Su Dong sprinted at a very fast speed. At the front of the penalty area, despite Mikhainovic's forceful pull, he just opened a gap for him. He headed Quaresma's pass to the penalty area. He broke free from Mikhainovic's entanglement and accelerated into the penalty area.

The ball is ahead.

Su Dong chased after him as fast as he could. He stabilized his left foot, swung his right foot, and was about to kick up.

But at this critical moment, a majestic figure burst out from the slanting stab, and with a sliding shovel, he took a step ahead of Su Dong, shoveled away the football in front of him, and at the same time tripped Su Dong so that he lost his balance again and fell into the penalty area.

After rolling twice, Su Dong sat up on his knees and saw that the ball had been scooped away.

Stam was not far in front of him, and he just got up from the grass, staring at him fiercely, obviously very angry at his sudden penetration just now and almost making a threat.

At this moment, the Dutch central defender is like a lion, staring at the enemy who invaded his territory in front of him, his eyes are frightening.

Su Dong stood up from the grass, grinned and smiled.

Finally, he is willing to face up to his opponent!
