i want to be king

Chapter 74 Tonight, you are dead!
"Maritimo has never been an easy drive."

In front of the coach of the home team, Boloni shook his head in disappointment, disappointed with the situation on the field.

"Although Nello Vengada, an old fox, has been coaching the Portuguese national youth team, he is still very capable, especially in the season from [-] to [-], when the famous English coach Souness coached Benfica. He was hired as an assistant coach. That year had a great impact on his coaching style."

As an assistant, Pontes is also very familiar with the situation in Portuguese football, and he is naturally no stranger to a head coach like Nelo Vengarda.

"Although Souness's coaching experience was not successful, he was the captain of the peak Liverpool team in the 80s, and then he successively achieved success in the Scottish Premier League and the Premier League, especially his strong 80s Liverpool dynasty style. This has a great influence on Nelo Vengarda, as can be seen from the Maritimo team he coached."

The style is tough and sturdy, this is the style of Souness leading the team, and it is also the style of the current Maritimo.

This should also be the reason why Vengada appreciates Pepe.

At this point, Pontes turned his head and glanced at Boloni, thought for a while, and said, "In fact, this kind of competition is not suitable for Su Dong. He is still young after all, only 17 years old."

Boloni turned his head, took a deep look at the assistant, smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, Lionel, even if I really lose, I won't let a 17-year-old substitute player take any responsibility."

In the last three games, the reason why Su Dong has been placed on the bench one after another is because Sporting Lisbon's bench is not strong enough.

Nikulei is still recovering from his injuries, Nalicis has not been able to integrate into the team for a long time, and his performance is not satisfactory. On the contrary, Su Dong, who came off the bench for two consecutive rounds, turned the situation around. In this case, can Boloni exclude Su Dong from the squad?

Pontes was right. An opponent like Maritimo was too fierce and his style was too tenacious, especially a central defender like Pepe, who was like a mad dog. This was not suitable for Su Dong to play at all.

But things have come to this point, and Boloni has no choice.

If he really loses, he will bear all the responsibilities, which is his dignity as a head coach.

But he still had some hopes that Su Dong could create surprises and surprises again.

Thinking of this, Boloni gritted his teeth secretly.

No. In 60 minutes, Sporting Lisbon made two more substitution adjustments.

Ronnie and Hugo Viana came off the bench successively.

Joao Pinto returned to the midfield, Su Dong as the lone striker, Ronnie and Quaresma separated the two wings, and Hugo Viana dragged his organization and passed the ball.

This is definitely a give and take!
Maritimo coach Nello Vengarda was a little dumbfounded when he saw two young substitutes walk to the sidelines.

This is exactly the rhythm of gamblers losing red eyes!

"Is Boloni a little irrational?"

"In such an important game, two young players were replaced in one breath. Now, although there are veterans like Barbosa and Joao Pinto in the midfield at the Sporting Lisbon Stadium, Su Dong, Quaresma, Cristiano Ronaldo and Hugo Viana are all under 20 years old."

"These two substitutions are still very debatable."

"If Sporting Lisbon loses this semi-final, Boloni's substitution will definitely become the focus of everyone's criticism."

"Is he so sure that this group of young players under the age of 20 can help him reverse Maritimo?"

No one will believe it!
Not only the commentator of Bora TV station didn't believe it, Maritimo's head coach Nello Vengarda didn't believe it, even Boloni himself didn't believe it very much.

He was more like a gambler who was driven to a desperate situation and had to fight to the death.

beep! ! !
Referee Lucilio Batista blew the whistle for a foul.

Pepe raised her hands innocently, and slowly backed away.

Su Dong fell down on the grass, clenched his hands into fists, and beat the grass vigorously, but quickly stood up again.

"How? Are you okay?" Batista ran over and asked.

Su Dong shook his head, indicating that he was fine.

Just now, he turned his back to catch the ball, but Pepe caught up with him from behind, hit him hard, knocked him to the ground, and fell into a very embarrassing situation.

The Brazilian central defender's physical fitness is indeed very good, the best of all the players Su Dong has seen.

If it is said that Andre Cruz blocked Sudong relying on defensive skills, awareness and experience, then Pepe's cost of freezing Sudong in the second half was his body.

Whether it is the ground or high altitude, whether it is in front of or behind him, he can handle it.

Even when he missed the best timing, he could jump from behind and knock Su Dong down in mid-air.

Speed, explosive power, flexibility, bounce...

This guy has almost a perfect football player's body.

This also made Su Dong hardly perform any performance after coming off the bench in the second half, except for a few times to support the ball.

……

"How is it? Is it still enjoyable?"

Seeing Su Dong approaching, Pepe asked with a sneer.

He knew very well that if he wanted to convince head coach Wen Jiada, he had to step on Jadell, Su Dong in front of him, or even anyone to take the position.

Su Dong stared at Peipei, smiled coldly, and asked, "Is that all you have?"

"not enough?"

"Hmph, maybe you don't know, I have survived like this for the past few months, do you think you can bluff me with your little trick?" Su Dong sneered.

Pepe's smile froze, and he snorted twice, "Just keep being stubborn, and all you have left is being stubborn!"

"Then try again!" Su Dong pointed at Pepe and said provocatively, "I am not as good as you for the time being in terms of body, and I am not superior in technology, but when it comes to protracted battles, you can't do it!"

Being provoked face to face like this made Pepeden a little annoyed.

When Su Dong tried to catch the ball from behind again, he hit him directly from the side and rear, and directly knocked Su Dong away with his shoulder.

But this time, the referee Batista whistled directly.

foul!

Batista also specifically called Pepe over, reminding him, "Be careful, I've been paying attention to you for a long time!"

Pepe shook her hands dismissively, and stepped back.

Su Dong came over again, he laughed, "I asked them to pass the ball to me as much as possible, you are dead tonight!"

A stern look flashed in Pepe's eyes.

Soon, another attack from Sporting Lisbon passed the ball to Su Dong again.

Su Dong has been running in the gap, this time he finally got rid of Pepe's dog skin plaster, and turned around directly after stopping the ball.

Just when Su Dong was about to accelerate, Pepe suddenly came out from a slanting stab, directly tackled him, dribbled the ball and knocked him to the ground, and then pointed at Su Dong provocatively, with a ferocious expression as if saying: This is the end of intimidating me!

But referee Batista whistled again and reached into his breast pocket at the same time.

yellow card!

Pepe glared at Batista angrily. He felt that his action just now was not a foul at all. How could it be a foul if he tackled the ball first?

If he hadn't been pulled away by his opponent, he would probably be very interested in rushing forward to argue with the referee.

"He's getting anxious!"

Su Dong grabbed Ronnie's hand, got up from the grass, and said with a smile.

Of course Ronnie could see it too, but...

"81 minutes, not much time left." Ronnie was a little anxious.

Su Dong nodded. He also knew that time was running out, but he had to deal with Pepe.

……

Nello Vengada watched from the sidelines and shook his head.

Pepe, a central defender, is good at everything, but he lacks a string in his mind.

He has amazing physical fitness, which can only make up for his immature defensive awareness and lack of game experience to the greatest extent.

And the problem of personality makes him execute the head coach's tactics meticulously without any discount, but at the same time, it also makes him easy to be irritated by opponents in fierce competitions.

For a central defender, this is not a good thing.

"Jorge." Nello Vengada walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly towards the back line.

Central defender Jorge Soares looked over immediately.

"Remind Pepe not to get too hot-headed."

Soares immediately made an OK gesture, indicating that he would pay attention.

The 30-year-old Jorge Soares is from Benfica. He only moved to Maritimo in [-]. He has always been the team's main central defender and the core of the defense.

Taking the young Pepe with him is one of the tasks assigned to him by head coach Wen Gada.

"There are still 10 minutes, stay vigilant, and then you will watch that young Chinese kid, and don't let Pepe touch him again."

Vengarda still looks uneasy because he knows his players.

Now Pepe is already hot-headed. If he is allowed to stare at Su Dong again, he may be sent off with a red card at any time.

This is not a good thing.

The score of [-] to [-] defended the whole second half, it is impossible to be ruined at the last moment, right?

Another 10 minutes, this game will be won!
Reaching the final, or even winning the title, would be the first color on Nello Vengarda's lackluster coaching resume.

…………

…………

Su Dong noticed that the defensive players around him had changed.

This made him a little disappointed, but also aware of an opportunity.

It is disappointing to fail to strike while the iron is hot and get rid of Pepe, but it is also an opportunity to change someone to defend.

In a midfield pass, Joao Pinto took a step forward after receiving a pass from Ronnie on the left.

He noticed Su Dong's gesture.

The Sporting Lisbon midfielder made a gesture to pass the ball to the right, but suddenly dunked the ball back and passed the ball forward.

Su Dong quickly ran out of Soarez's defense zone and retreated to the 30-meter area to receive the ball.

Although Soarez's attention was on Su Dong, when he reacted and caught up again, Su Dong had already stopped the ball and turned around quickly.

Soarez wanted to stand still at the first moment, but Su Dong stabbed the ball behind Soarez the moment he turned around, and he stretched out his hand to block Soarez and sprinted forward from the other side.

"A beautiful goal pass!!!"

The scene boiled again.
