I Want to Be the King of Football

I definitely won't take the initiative to talk to him!

In the Romario seafood restaurant in downtown Lisbon, Su Dong said loudly, with a very firm attitude.

Ronnie, Pepe, Albertini and Andre Cruz who were sitting in front of him all felt his non-negotiable determination, and he had decided not to give in an inch!

Albertini's proposal was to be old-fashioned and prudent. He believed that Su Dong should take the initiative to ask Boloni to talk, communicate some of each other's ideas, and ease the current tension.

Everyone can see now that Sporting Lisbon's problems are acute.

Boloni wanted to help his confidant Nikulei get out of the quagmire, but Nikulei did not perform well, but Su Dong shined.

Then comes the problem.

The better Su Dong performed, the more he would be roasting the head coach Boloni over the fire.

Boloni has always attached great importance to team discipline, even a little stubborn, so he also reused Nikulei almost in a fit of anger.

The more suspicious the outside world, the more he trusted Nikolai.

He wants Nikolai to prove his strength, but also his coaching ability.

In fact, there is no way to resolve it, that is, Su Dong took the initiative to take a step back and ease the relationship with Boloni.

After all, the opponent is the head coach of the team.

But Su Dong was unwilling to do so.

Yes, he gave me a first-team appearance last season, he trusted me and even started me in the Portuguese Cup final, which made me very grateful to him at one point, but so far this season, I don't think I There was nothing wrong with it, and I never even said a bad word about him outside.

But what did he give me in return?

The problem of Su Dong and Boloni is never an accident.

Except in Sporting Lisbon, in Porto, in other teams, even in all teams, there is a similar situation.

There are only eleven players on the field, and the head coach has his own ideas and preferences for employing people, and it can even be said to be stubborn. This will inevitably bring about some unfairness, which will lead to conflicts within the team. This is also normal.

What is more unusual is that Su Dong is only 18 years old. Boloni thinks that he should suppress this young teenager, otherwise the authority of the head coach will be affected, and he also has to help his compatriot Nikulei regain his confidence and state.

But now, can Su Dong still hold back?

From the day I decided to take the initiative to request to return to the second team in front of everyone, I knew that I had no way out.

As long as I don't perform well, he will take him out of the roster at any time, or even demote him to the second team to show his authority as head coach, so I have no choice but to keep trying to perform better. .

For me, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Su Dong spoke very hard, and people like Albertini and Andre Cruz could understand his mood and situation.

Ronnie was even more indignant, I think Su Dong is right, why does Nikolai act like that, but he can still be trusted and get so many opportunities, but Su Dong can't?

Since he is unfair to us as the head coach, why do we have to compromise and find him to reconcile?

If you want me to say, even if you want to reconcile, Boloni took the initiative to seek reconciliation with Su. The big deal is that we go to other teams to play football. As long as we perform well, we are afraid that there is no place to play? Ronnie said at the end, even the remarks about leaving the team said it.

Pepe on the side also nodded indignantly.

Albertini and Andre Cruz looked at each other with helpless expressions.

They are not afraid, but want to help Su Dong ease the relationship with the head coach, but now it seems that this group of young people have completely different ideas from them.

Or should I say, they all have more personality.

That's right! Albertini nodded and smiled.

Seeing you like this, I really feel like I'm getting old.

Andre Cruz nodded with a wry smile, he felt the same way.

Demi, Andrei, I know you have good intentions.

Su Dong also understood the feelings of the two veterans, But don't worry, this is not a bad thing for me!

He is holding back his anger now, and he is going to fight against Boloni face to face. If he takes the initiative to reconcile, then the anger will be vented.

I will prove it to him and show everyone!

…………

On October 20, the seventh round of the Portuguese Super League.

Sporting Lisbon hosts Belerenses at home.

Since the international players have all returned to the country, Boloni was a little stretched in the formation of this game.

Against Bellerences tonight, he lined up a front three of Joao Pinto, Sudong and Ronnie.

All the players who participated in the national team games and training camps were excluded from the starting lineup by him. Nikulei did not even enter the squad, but everyone knows that this is because Boloni is protecting his compatriots.

After Su Dong made his debut, he performed as hard as ever.

In the 29th minute, Su Dong deftly ran out of space in the penalty area and received a pass from Joao Pinto. He made it in the penalty area overnight and opened the scoring for Sporting Lisbon.

These are his three goals in the Portuguese Super League this season.

Then, the game entered a stalemate. It was not until the 89th minute that Quaresma, who replaced Ronnie, was on the right side of the penalty area. After receiving a pass from Su Dong, he passed the defender with his personal ability, and the outside of his instep A volley hit, another victory for Sporting Lisbon.

Two to zero!

With goals from Sudong and Quaresma, Sporting Lisbon beat Bellerences with two goals.

...

The focus of this round is Porto vs. Benfica.

Only four minutes into the opening, midfielder Thiago opened the scoring for Benfica, but then Benfica defender Bonfim made an own goal.

In the 71st minute of the second half, Deco scored a goal to seal the victory.

In the end, Porto reversed Benfica 2-1 at home.

After seven rounds, Porto and Guimaraes are tied for the top spot with 17 points.

Mourinho's side have been outstanding so far this season.

With this round of victory, Sporting Lisbon followed with 16 points and ranked third, with Benfica, Bellerences and Braga all scoring 13 points.

After playing seven rounds, the situation of the Portuguese Super League season has taken shape.

Mourinho's Porto, relying on the summer buy buy buy, the overall strength by leaps and bounds, the performance of the new season is very stable.

Guimaraes has yet to meet a strong team, and the top spot is more like a weekend day trip.

Sporting Lisbon and Benfica are still the most promising teams to challenge Porto's dominance, while last season's top three team Boavista is currently only ranked ninth, and its performance has plummeted.

This is not accidental either.

Boavista transferred and sold a number of core main players this summer, resulting in a major loss of the team’s overall strength. Coupled with the two-line battle, it is difficult for them to focus on the Portuguese Super League front.

Like Sporting Lisbon, Boavista participated in the UEFA Cup after being eliminated from the Champions League and also advanced from the first round.

The first leg of the second round is at the end of October, and Sporting Lisbon's opponent is Slavia Prague from the Czech Republic.

Porto's opponent was Austria Vienna from Austria, while Boavista met An Roxas from Cyprus.

...

On October 26, the eighth round of the Portuguese Super League.

Sporting Lisbon away to Boavista.

Last season's championship and runner-up encounter, now times have changed, and the two teams are in completely different situations.

Boloni arranged for Sudong to start again, but this also made it clear to everyone in the Lisbon locker room that Nikulei would start in the UEFA Cup away game against Slavia Prague, Czech Republic in midweek.

Sudong was paired with Quaresma and Joao Pinto.

As the so-called broken ship still has three pounds of nails, Boavista's strength has been greatly damaged, but the strength of the strong dialogue is still there.

They have also suffered from Su Dong, so they pay special attention to Su Dong.

It wasn't until the 44th minute that Su Dong relied on Tonito's cross from the wing to beat the Boavista defender and headed the goal from close range, opening the scoring for Sporting Lisbon.

But Boavista equalised in the 70th minute of the second half.

Ronnie replaced Quaresma in the 82nd minute. Just five minutes later, in the left rib area of ​​the frontcourt, he received a dexterous heel knock pass from Su Dong, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and stabbed the goal. , two to one!

The tacit cooperation of the two young teenagers at the last minute of the game earned Sporting Lisbon another three points.

As Porto lost 2-2 away to Leiria in this round, Guimaraes lost to Vazim 2-3 at home. Sporting Lisbon successfully reversed Porto and Guimaraesden with three points in this round. Top Portugal.

This is also the first time Sporting Lisbon has rebounded strongly after a poor start to the top of the Portuguese Super League standings.

The entire Portuguese football world, all Sporting Lisbon fans, have given a very high evaluation to a group of teenagers led by Sudong, Ronnie and Quaresma, as well as Pepe, who has started as a central defender in recent games.

These four teenagers are all under the age of 20 and are in a period of rapid ascent.

In an interview with the media, technical director Aurelio highly praised the performance of these young players in the team, believing that they showed the outstanding youth training level of Sporting Lisbon.

A lot of people say that with young players we will have nothing, but I don't see it that way.

I think with this talented group of young players we can win everything!

But just when Aurelio was complacent and ambitious, in the UEFA Cup in midweek, Sporting Lisbon flew away to challenge Slavia Prague.

The starting lineup was as expected, Boloni arranged for Nikolai to start and rotated the starting lineup.

As a result, in the away game, the goal was conceded in the first ten minutes.

Drop one more at 40 minutes, and a third at 87 minutes.

Fortunately, at the last minute of the game, Quaresma pulled a game back for the team.

In the end, Sporting Lisbon took away a dismal 3-1 defeat from Prague.

Although there is an away goal in hand, it is undoubtedly a rather unfavorable dilemma for the two-leg match.

Boloni's use of soldiers has once again been severely criticized by the outside world, especially his behavior of benching Su Dong, who is in good shape, has caused confusion among the media and fans.
