I Want to Be the King of Football

On the training ground of the Alcochetti first team, Boloni stood with his hands behind his back.

His eyes were fixed on the players in training, but his thoughts flew far, far away.

The current situation is very unfavorable for Nikulei, and the same is true for Boloni.

Su Dong's performance is getting better and better, and Boloni can no longer hold back.

Not to mention Su Dong's agent, even the outside media and fans are calling for him to be the leader.

He is handsome, looks amazing, has a burly and fit body, and has a pleasing style of play on the court, especially that kick of Barty GOL, which makes many Lisbon sports fans dote on him.

In its report this morning, the Public Daily questioned Boloni from the air.

When other teams are dreaming of a young player like Su Dong, why do you always pretend you can't see him? Why do you keep him on the bench and focus on that player The guy who doesn't have the ball?

On the football field, as strikers, performance is their duty.

Either score goals or have a tactical role.

Sudong has both, while Nikulei's tactical effect is not obvious, and he can't score goals yet.

Thinking of this, Boloni sighed secretly in his heart, a little hated that iron is not steel.

Midweek is the UEFA Cup, the weekend is against Morelense, another newly-promoted team.

Thanks to having played in the Portuguese League before, Su Dong is familiar with Cobra Yingluck University and Morelense.

More importantly, judging from the current situation, the three newly promoted horses this season, Morelense, the Portuguese National Team and the University of Cobuyingla, are all in the middle and lower reaches of the Portuguese League. The key depends on these three teams. of the overall performance.

In the face of such a team, Sporting Lisbon should be directly harvested.

Instead, it's the UEFA Cup in midweek.

The Belgrade guerrilla team is not bad. Previously, Sporting Lisbon suffered a 2-2 draw at home and was at a disadvantage in promotion. They had to win the away game with all their strength. In comparison, this game was much more difficult to gnaw.

Su Dong has been in good shape recently, and the voice of the main force is also very high. It is reasonable to let him play in the UEFA Cup. Even if he really loses, the head coach does not need to make too many arrangements for the blame.

Nikolai recharged his energy and concentrated on preparing for the weekend against newly-promoted horses, striving to break the scoring drought as soon as possible.

Thinking of this level, Boloni already had a decision in his heart.

...

On the court, recovery training is over.

In the morning after each game, a recovery training session is carried out, the purpose is to adjust the physical state of the players.

Due to the UEFA Cup in the middle of the week, there is no rest due to the double game in a week.

If it's a one-week game, there will be a break in the afternoon and tomorrow morning.

After training, it was clear how close the players were to each other.

Boloni was surprised that Sudong, Ronnie and Pepe were always together.

Because when he played Maridimo last season, Pepe almost had a big fight with Ronnie. Who would have thought that when he turned his head, it was Sudong and Ronny who recommended him to Sporting Lisbon.

The friendship of young people is so nonsensical.

Andre Cruz is also very close to Su Dong. He took the initiative to accompany Su Dong in training last year, and now he is personally guiding Pepe's defense. It seems that he appreciates the Brazilian compatriot very much.

Tonito and Su Dong are also very close. The Spaniard has been with the team for a long time. He was loaned out last season, but his relationship with Ronnie is still very good, so they got together.

Although the captain Barbosa, Albertini and Quaresma are slightly distant, they have a good relationship with Su Dong.

Seeing this, Boloni turned to look aside.

His compatriot Nikulei was alone and headed towards the locker room.

This made Boloni feel helpless.

Football is an eleven-man sport that relies on teamwork.

The premise of teamwork is that you must integrate into the team.

Only when you are truly integrated into the team, if you perform well, everyone will praise you and recognize you more. Even if your performance is not ideal, everyone will understand and help you instead of complaining and accusing you.

Obviously, Su Dong understands this, so he is always uniting the majority.

Nikulei didn't understand. He still wanted everyone to take the initiative to turn around him, as he did when he played football in Romania. Therefore, he was placed by everyone and became a very small number.

With this in mind, Boloni finds it hard to be optimistic about Nikulei.

What Boloni didn't know was that when Su Dong was a junior high school student in China, political courses were compulsory.

…………

…………

After the training session in the afternoon, Su Dong and his teammates practiced regularly.

This is his daily habit.

One of the extra exercises was to practice long passes with Albertini.

The former Milan vice-captain's long pass is quite good, his vision is also very broad, and he is extremely experienced.

But Albertini's requirements were very strict, always asking Su Dong to stop the ball.

This requires Su Dong to repeatedly sculpt his feet and study various techniques of stopping and unloading the ball.

After more than two months of training, it is finally quite effective.

But today, Su Dong is eyeing another ability of Albertini.

...

Demi, so far this season, our team doesn't seem to have scored a set-piece.

After practicing the long pass, Su Dong suddenly said when he was resting.

Albertini was stunned for a moment, then looked at Su Dong thoughtfully, Just say something.

It's that Belgrade partisan centre-back, Milan Stojanovic, do you remember?

Well, the one you hit the face with the back of your hand.

Su Dong smiled bitterly, Don't say that, I really didn't mean it.

But you did hit people in the face.

Su Dong was speechless and could only surrender.

Okay, let's play, but that's not the point, the point is, we're going to play in Yugoslavia in the middle of the week.

and then?

That kid is only 1.83 meters.

Um?

I am 1.95 meters tall, and I am twelve centimeters tall.

Then you mean...

In their entire back line, the tallest is another central defender, Savage, who is 1.86 meters tall, still shorter than me.

Albertini immediately understood that Su Dong wanted to use his height advantage.

There's a problem, you never seem to score a header.

Su Dong clapped his hands vigorously, You finally got to the core. My header was actually pretty good, but no one passed it to me.

1.95 meters tall, burly, strong against a high center forward, no one gave a header, what is going on?

Albertini heard Su Dong's grief, and he wanted to prove that he was comprehensive.

Su Dong's goal basically came from his right foot, but Albertini knew that he had been working hard on his left foot. The assist of the wonderful pass Quaresma scored before came from his left-footed cross, although there are still some problems, But at least it will come in handy.

Only this header...

Perhaps the technology under your feet is so conspicuous and the speed is so fast that everyone forgets that you actually have a head.

Su Dong sounded a little awkward, what do you mean I still have a head?

And how it sounds, the meaning of Albertini's words is a bit like: You can eat with your face, but you have to work hard.

But now, Su Dong can't care.

Demi, I heard that your set-piece is a must, let's practice?

I'm good at scoring goals with direct free-kicks.

There will always be some positions that are off, or corner kicks or something, you know, the guys in our team, the free kicks are like crippled, last season in Porto, a dozen free kicks in the frontcourt, no threat at all No.

Sudong was desperate for the free-kick skills of other Sporting Lisbon players.

With a sneaky flattery, Albertini sounded quite comfortable.

Tell me, how do you want to practice?

You come to the free throw, I let Pepe stare at me, try to cultivate a little tacit understanding.

Albertini pondered for a while, nodded and said: My free kick is called the falling leaf ball. It was first invented by the Brazilian superstar Didi, who was at the same time as Pele. As the name suggests, this kind of ball is like falling leaves, and it will be a little erratic in the air. It doesn't spin itself, but after flying a certain distance, it will fall faster and more suddenly than a normal ball.

Perhaps seeing that Su Dong did not understand, Albertini simply demonstrated it on the spot.

The fallen leaf ball, which was 30 meters away, crossed a beautiful arc and fell into the blind corner of the unguarded goal.

Perfect!

Most importantly, handsome!

Demi, how did this kind of ball come out? Su Dong asked curiously.

Falling leaves, this is Albertini's forte.

Want to learn?

certainly.

It's not that easy, at least it takes a few years of hard work. In addition to the essentials of technical movements, free kicks rely on practice and repeated training over time.

I can do it.

Albertini didn't doubt it, and didn't want to hide it. Now let's talk about set-piece coordination first.

Su Dong nodded hurriedly, this is the top priority right now.

If you want to compete for the spot of the fallen leaf ball, you must pay attention to the speed of the ball. The speed of the ball is fast, and the falling point will appear later. Sometimes when you hit the goal directly, the ball will fly out of the field, it has not fallen yet, and the speed of the ball will appear. Slow, the drop point usually comes early, but the ball doesn't have much power.

Whether it is a set-piece or a direct free kick, the falling ball must control the kicking force according to the distance between the goal and the contact point, and the receiver must know his teammates, with what kind of strength to kick out, the speed of the ball Fast or slow, where is the drop point, and then use this to push the drop point...

The field is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to have enough time to think about this problem slowly, so this requires the usual cooperation and practice in the usual training.

Seeing Su Dong thoughtful, Albertini smiled slightly and suggested, Let's practice?

He also wants to give full play to his own advantages and make himself perform better to prove to everyone that he is not old yet.

Of course Su Dong would not refuse, and immediately called Pepe over.

Ronnie and Andre Cruise had heard about it and were equally interested, so they followed.

For a while, a very funny scene appeared on the field.

Albertini took an indirect free kick. Su Dong, Ronnie, Pepe and Andre Cruz went to grab some points.
