I Want to Be the King of Football

On the evening of May 21, the Olympic Stadium in Seville, Spain.

Beep!!!

With the whistle of the Slovak referee Rubes Michael, the players of the two teams quickly separated.

Su Dong grabbed Ronnie's hand and got up from the grass, his face full of unwillingness.

Just now, he took the initiative to switch positions with Ronnie, and after pulling to the wing to catch the ball, he passed one of the opponent's defenders, tried to dribble the ball and cut inwards. Abby trips for a foul.

If he was killed just now, it would definitely be a pretty good opportunity.

What a pity! Su Dong shook his head and sighed.

Ronnie nodded again and again, he was already waiting in the middle, and there was Quaresma on the right. Su Dong was about to pass Muyabi, forming a three-on-two situation. As a result, the opponent fouled decisively.

This is the Celtics strategy tonight!

...

Albertini's free-kick was not a hit.

At least, only eight minutes into the game, Su Dong earned this free kick opportunity from the left side of the frontcourt, but the Italian veteran failed to grasp the opportunity.

From the start of the game, the situation seemed to be like what happened to Su Dong just now, which was a disaster.

Sporting Lisbon are well aware of their strengths and weaknesses, especially when it comes to fitness.

Porto has just been slaughtered, resulting in the physical strength of Lisbon's players is not as good as Celtic. If it really enters overtime, this will be very unfavorable to Lisbon.

Therefore, the opening strategy of Sporting Lisbon is to take the initiative.

Boloni is conservative, and did not arrange for a front midfielder like Sa Pinto or Tonito to play, but continued to use a three back midfielder.

The Celtics maintained a steady posture from the beginning and did not attack rashly.

Martin O'Neal knew very well that his team was weak in technology and coordination, so he adopted aggressive and destructive tactics and fouled frequently.

This makes the game start, the scene has become a disaster scene.

The referee's whistle came one after another,

An endless stream.

The Celtics are very particular about their fouls. They are on the edge of winning and not getting a card, like a scumbag, rubbing at the door and not going in.

It was not until Muyabi's foul that the Swedish central defender got his first yellow card of the game.

Albertini, Barbosa, Andre Cruz and others have a lot of experience. They know that the Celtics are well prepared to guard against Sporting Lisbon's active attack, and also know that the attack is difficult to work, so they take the initiative. Slowing down the offensive, the formation gradually retracted.

Teams must take into account the issue of physical distribution.

Blindly madly attacking is astonishing to consume physical energy. In the second half, what should I do when my physical strength is unsustainable?

How to control the rhythm of the game has always been a profound knowledge.

...

From the tenth minute, the game was deadlocked, but it was still intense.

Rui Jorge collided heavily in a fight with the opponent's right midfielder Agathe. Both were carried off the court for treatment. Fortunately, they were all right and soon returned to the game.

Intense and dull, it makes one wonder if the silver ball system will be used for the first time tonight.

Sporting Lisbon took the initiative to retreat, but the Celtics had little willingness to invest in offense.

The two forwards, one high and one fast, did not create much threat in the frontcourt. Sutton did not seem to be in the best shape. Hartson's absence had a great impact on the striker. Larson was like a swimming fish. Sporting Lisbon's defenses shuttled between the lines, looking for opportunities.

Both teams played relatively stable, but the pace of the game was not slow.

The Celtics are very clear that what they are best at is impact and speed. It is a typical British style of play. If the rhythm of the game is handed over to Sporting Lisbon, it will be quite unfavorable for them.

Therefore, every time the defense is successful, as long as there is a chance, they will decisively play a quick counterattack.

It's also a way they use up the energy of Sporting Lisbon's players.

It doesn't matter if the attack is not threatened, as long as it can be defended and the opponent's physical strength is consumed, the Celtics will have the advantage.

Sporting Lisbon knew the opponent's intentions, but there was nothing they could do. The midfielder couldn't control the rhythm and possession of the ball, so he could only fight against the opponent. In the final analysis, Boloni was too conservative.

If Tonito or Sa Pinto are present, it will be easier for the midfielder to hold the ball, but in this way, the midfielder's interception is bound to be weakened, and Boloni is worried that it will affect the stability of the back line.

Sometimes, tactics are about trade-offs.

...

Su Dong faced the most fouls.

The Celtics defenders have no good way to take him, only fouls.

He also created two chances, one was a wonderful pass by Ronnie, but his small angle shot was confiscated by goalkeeper Douglas.

Another time was passed to Quaresma, but the latter failed to move forward in time and missed the opportunity.

After receiving a pass from a teammate, Su Dong suddenly turned around, and when he dashed forward with the ball, he was double-teamed by two Celtic defenders. When he was about to rush out of the opponent's defense, he was left by the two of them. A shot from the right and the right simultaneously pulled him to the ground.

Su Dong once again fell out of the 30-meter area.

The referee blew his whistle again, but did not give a card.

Sporting Lisbon quickly sent a free kick to Ronnie on the left.

Su Dong ran over to respond, but Ronnie failed to pass the ball in time and was successfully stolen by the opponent.

The Celtics immediately launched a counterattack, and under Su Dong's pressing step by step, they teleported to the front court.

Larson scored the ball in the middle to the right, and Agat crossed into the penalty area.

Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Ricardo strikes decisively, grabbing the ball from mid-air before Sutton.

The Portuguese goalkeeper held the ball in his left hand, raised his right hand high, and stretched out his index finger, signaling his teammates to press forward.

Sports Lisbon still has to try to invest more troops on the offensive end and give more support to Su Dong.

Celtic have a lot of defenders. Sporting Lisbon's attack relies more on the trident, but it is easy to fall into the opponent's encirclement. If the midfield and the wing of the back line can provide more support, I believe it will be easier. Open up.

But Boloni doesn't seem to have such an idea. He has been admonishing Rui Jorge. As soon as the Portuguese left-back moves forward, Boloni is calling for him to go back.

Of course, the same is true for the Celtics. Neither side is willing to invest enough troops on the offensive end.

Look this time, Sporting Lisbon tosses.

Albertini came back and raised his hand for the ball, received it, turned around and made a long pass.

A very beautiful long pass, sent to the left side of the frontcourt.

Ronnie figured out where he landed, ran back, and headed the ball away.

Ronnie jumped high in the face of Albertini's long pass, and the ball immediately changed direction and fell to the middle.

Su Dong ran over quickly to grab the second landing spot, facing the flying ball, he first stopped the ball with his chest out, raised his left foot high, unloaded the ball, and then picked it gently, the ball was picked immediately own right foot.

The entire action was completed in one go, without giving the opponent any chance to intervene.

After stopping the ball with his right foot, Su Dong took advantage of the situation to pass another defender, and then suddenly accelerated, after throwing off the double-team of the two defenders, he quickly sent the ball to the right side of the frontcourt.

Quaresma received a pass from Su Dong in the outer right corner of the penalty area, and just stopped, the Belgian central defender Valgaren of the Celtics was already blocked on the inside.

One on one!

Quaresma didn't have to look to know that after passing the ball, Su Dong would go straight into the penalty area and wait for his winger to pass the ball.

Even, it is estimated that even Ronnie rushed back.

This is the tacit understanding formed since the three played football, and it is also their trust in Quaresma.

They all believed that Quaresma could break through Valgaren's defense.

The Portuguese winger didn't give his opponent any chance to breathe and think, and he took the ball in small steps and approached Valgaren.

I saw that after he approached Vargar, he was skillful with his left and right feet on the ground, and after his body continuously swayed left and right, he easily swayed Vargalen away, and dashed directly to the baseline with the ball.

In just one face-to-face, Valgalen was cleaned up by Quaresma.

But the Celtics guard is still in hot pursuit.

After Quaresma broke through the opponent's defense, he sent a low ball with his right foot and sent the ball to the middle of the goal.

He knew that Su Dong would definitely be there!

Sporting Lisbon's breakthrough on the right.

Quaresma is very crisp and agile, making a pass from the bottom.

Is there anyone in the middle...

Su Dong!!!!

The ball is in!!!!

GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!

In the 36th minute, Sporting Lisbon opened the scoring!

Little God of War... Su Dong!

Sudong easily flicked Balder in front of goal and sent Quaresma's low cross into the net.

In fact, even if he didn't grab the spot, there was still a Ronnie at the back.

After Su Dong scored, the whole person rushed out of the stadium inexplicably excited, went straight to the Lisbon Sporting fans stand on the sidelines, jumped high on the billboard, and clenched his fists at the fans in the stands.

The Green Lions fans in the stands were also inexplicably excited, and they were all frantically shouting Su Dong's name.

Behind him, the teammates rushed forward one by one, surrounding Su Dong in groups.

beautiful!

Sporting Lisbon's front trident solo show!

These three players not only cooperate well, but also have excellent personal abilities. One-on-one is a must.

We can see that Ronnie grabbed the first landing spot, and Su Dong then controlled the second landing spot and the ball very delicately. He used his skillful and delicate foot technique, and suddenly changed his direction to break through. Double-teamed three defenders and moved the ball to the right.

Quaresma's breakthrough on the right flank was very crisp, and it passed in an instant, and the opponent didn't even have time to foul.

This is the front trident of Sporting Lisbon!

One to zero!

Now, the game has been completely broken!

I believe that in the future, it will be difficult for Celtic to be conservative, and Sporting Lisbon will do its best to keep the lead.

The game should get better.
