I Want to Be the King of Football

Sporting Lisbon is back! !

Why say it again?

Because this is not their first European comeback this season.

A 4-0 rout of Thessaloniki at home, with a total score of 4-1 and a smooth promotion, earned Sporting Lisbon a full house of applause after the game, and unlike the previous reversal, this time everyone directly ignored the away game.

Everyone knows that the long-distance travel away from the European war will consume a lot of players and seriously affect the team's game status.

Therefore, the outside world basically maintained an objective attitude towards the zero-to-one loss of Sporting Lisbon in the first round of the two sides.

But after returning home, they won 4-0, which is amazing enough.

Especially Su Dong's two shots and one pass.

Before playing against Slavia Prague, Su Dong played two passes and one shot, and played a key role. Now, facing Thessaloniki, Su Dong has once again played a heroic role, two shots and one pass, and he won again. Best in the game.

They all lost in the first round away, and they all reversed their opponents after returning to the home court. In two key reversal battles, Su Dong contributed three goals and three assists, and played a key role in making the entire Portuguese football aware. to his growth and progress.

At the same time, everyone is beginning to realize that Su Dong, who is only 18 years old, has become the core force of Sporting Lisbon.

The Portuguese Morning Post commented on the newspaper the next day, thinking that Su Dong was relying on his excellent performance to grab the starting position bit by bit, At least now, no one will question whether Su Dong is Deserving of a starting centre-forward position for Sporting Lisbon.

The Morning Post reporter also interviewed the senior executive of Sporting Lisbon. According to the senior executive who did not want to be named, Su Dong’s performance is attracting the attention of many teams in European football, especially the teams from the four major leagues.

There are no secrets in European football. As long as he emerges a little, he will appear on the scout list of other teams as soon as possible. As early as the end of last season, Su Dong's performance has attracted a lot of attention.

Since this season, Sudong has played well on both fronts. The Portuguese Super League has scored six goals and four assists so far, and the UEFA Cup has scored five goals and three assists. Such data reflects the comprehensiveness of Sudong.

He doesn't only score goals, but he also assists. Not only does he have a burly and strong body, but he also has lightning speed and delicate foot skills, and the frequency of movements is also very fast.

Some people say that his shot is very similar to Batistuta, for which he has won the reputation of the little God of War, but some people say that he is very similar to Kluivert, the tactical effect is very obvious, and some people say that he runs His sense of smell and his grasp of fighter aircraft are very similar to Romario the wolf of the restricted area, and now, some people are beginning to say that he charges like an Italian tank Vieri...

No one can clearly outline the characteristics of Su Dong, because he is very, very comprehensive.

He is like a type of player that European football has never seen before, and no one knows what he will develop into in the future, but everyone is full of expectations and curiosity about him.

...

Sporting Lisbon head coach Boloni also publicly mentioned Sudong for the first time in an interview with media reporters at the post-match press conference. He said he was satisfied and surprised by Sudong's performance this season.

He doesn't look like an 18-year-old rookie at all.

Boloni said that there are a group of outstanding young players in the Lisbon team, such as Quaresma and Ronnie, but no one is like Sudong, His growth rate is amazing, almost every game is improving, which is The most incredible thing is that he seems to have endless potential.

For the starting battle between Sudong and Nikulei, Boloni made a statement for the first time. He believes that he has no prejudice against Sudong.

As a head coach,

I can't just think about one player, I need to think about the whole team. Sudong is very good, but Nikulei is also an important young player in the team. Both of them are the objects that I need to focus on.

But Boloni also admitted that now Nikolai has encountered problems, his state is at a low point, and he needs time to adjust.

I will give Sudong more game time.

Reversing Thessaloniki, Su Dong made two shots and one pass, fulfilling his pre-match rhetoric, and Boloni was satisfied.

This is the Su Dong we are familiar with. He is like never tired, always running hard, always creating surprises and surprises. No one will reject such a player.

But Boloni also reminded the players of Sporting Lisbon that after reaching the UEFA Cup round of 16, each opponent will be stronger and the game will be more difficult.

There is also the Portuguese Super League.

At present, the Portuguese Super League has played 13 rounds. We are five points behind Porto and two points ahead of Benfica. This is a very awkward position. We need to invest more, go further to win more wins, catch up with Porto, and at the same time throw away The pursuers behind.

Boloni also said that Porto does have a certain advantage in the competition for the Portuguese Super League championship, but Sporting Lisbon still has a chance, provided the team is united and played well in every next game.

I need the support of every player.

...

The dressing room responded positively to Boloni's interview.

Especially on the morning after playing in Thessalonia, Boloni had a brief exchange with Sudong outside the training ground for a few minutes before training.

The main topic is the timing of appearances.

Boloni said that the reason why he reduced Su Dong's playing time was mainly due to the advice of the team doctor. Considering Su Dong's age, he did not want to give him too much pressure and burden in the game, so as not to cause long-term irreversible physical damage to him.

But Su Dong's reply was, I think my body is very good, I need more competition exercise!

He is very, very serious.

Mendes advised Sudong to focus on the UEFA Cup, but Sudong sees it differently.

The UEFA Cup is very important and he will definitely take it seriously, but the Portuguese Super League is also very important.

Whether it's the UEFA Cup, the Portuguese Super League, or the Portuguese Cup, as long as it's a match, I can play!

No matter how others choose, Su Dong doesn't care, he wants it anyway!

For the first time, Boloni felt a strong possessiveness and aggression from Su Dong.

Obviously, with the accumulation of the game, the experience is gradually enriched, and the self-confidence is gradually built up. Su Dong has become more and more like a wolf who has been hungry for an unknown number of days, shedding saliva and staring at the prey with blood-red eyes.

At the weekend, in the 14th round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon played away to Leiria.

Due to the UEFA Cup in midweek, Su Dong came off the bench in this game.

In the 24th minute of the first half, Leiria took the lead in scoring, and central defender Miolo used a corner kick to open the scoring.

Six minutes later, Joao Pinto pulled one back for Sporting Lisbon.

After changing sides in the second half, striker Doyala scored another goal for Leiria in the 64th minute, and five minutes later, midfielder Anguia scored with a long-range shot to overtake the score, 3-1.

Three minutes later, Su Dong came off the bench and replaced veteran Barbosa to strengthen the offense.

In the 80th minute, Pepe, who had performed unsatisfactorily before and made repeated mistakes, finally atone for his sins. Taking advantage of a corner kick, he received a pass from Albertini and regained a goal for Sporting Lisbon, 2-3.

In the closing stage of the game, the knockback from Su Dong made his serious injury recover, and Sa Pinto, who has dropped sharply this season, broke into the penalty area and equalized the score for Sporting Lisbon, three to three.

The score was eventually maintained until the end of the game.

Sporting Lisbon had a tough draw away from Leiria.

...

After this round of games, Benfica successfully reversed Sporting Lisbon and ranked second in the Portuguese Super League with the dual advantages of mutual record and goal difference.

This is undoubtedly a rather hopeless gap.

The problem exposed by Sporting Lisbon is obvious, that is, in the multi-line battle, the team's lineup is a bit too thin, and the several rotation players arranged by Boloni are not in very good condition.

For example, Joao Pinto and Sa Pinto, these two players were the main force last season, but this season they have been reduced to substitutes, and their state is also very unstable, especially Sa Pinto, who basically failed after surgery. Get back to your best.

There is also the back line. After Phil Babu left the team, although Pepe's arrival made up for this position, Pepe is young, sometimes too reckless and prone to mistakes.

Fortunately, Sporting Lisbon retained Andre Cruz before the season, otherwise, the situation would have been even worse.

With the evaluation of the public newspaper, Sporting Lisbon's bench lineup will barely cope with the Portuguese Cup.

…………

…………

In the middle of the week, the fourth round of the Portuguese Cup.

Lisbon hosts Oliveira.

Nikolai shined in this game, scoring a hat-trick to help the team beat the opponent 8-0.

Substitute Ricardo Fernandez and veteran Barbosa both scored twice.

It is a good thing to win the promotion at home, but no one will take such a game too seriously.

…………

…………

On the weekend, the fifteenth round of the Portuguese Super League is also the last game before the winter break.

Sporting Lisbon host the Portuguese Nationals at home.

This team is Ronnie's former club. Before he joined Sporting Lisbon's youth academy at the age of 12, he had been receiving youth training in this team, but in the game, Ronnie played very excitedly.

Quaresma and Ronnie's wings became more and more tacit, and their performances became more and more brave, so that in many cases, Su Dong only needed to be responsible for outflanking and grabbing points in the penalty area.

In the 20th minute and the 58th minute, Su Dong flanked twice in front of the goal, sent the ball from the flank of Ronnie and Quaresma to the goal of the Portuguese National Team, and scored two goals for Sporting Lisbon. .

Two to zero!

Sporting Lisbon finally beat the Portuguese national team with a brace from Su Dong and took all three points.

In this round, Benfica drew with Boavista 0-0 away and gave up the second place in the league.

However, Mourinho's Porto defeated Wazim 2-0 away, taking all three points and still leading.

After this game, UEFA held the draw for the round of 16 of the UEFA Cup in Nyon, Switzerland.
