I Want to Be the King of Football

Jorge Jesus has always thought he would make a great professional head coach.

Although in the past ten years, his coaching resume has always been described as bland.

Without a stellar career, Jorge Jesus made up his mind early on to become a head coach and worked towards that goal, and then got the chance to coach Fergueiras in the Porto district.

In the following years, he moved to a number of Portuguese lower league teams, including coaching Madeira United.

It was during his half-year coaching in Madeira United that he got the opportunity to coach the Portuguese Super League team Amadora.

He is ambitious to establish his achievements in the Portuguese Super League. In the three seasons in Amadora, his coaching performance has always ranked in the middle of the league and is quite stable, which makes people recognize Jorge Jesus' coaching ability.

The Amadora coached by him is based on the formation of 442 and adopts high-position pressing and pressing tactics, which makes them very in line with the current mainstream trend of European football, and has become a new force that cannot be underestimated in the Portuguese Super League.

After his success at Amadora, Jorge Jesus, eager to take his coaching resume one step further, left the financially limited Amadora for the ambitious Setubal and led the team. The team was successfully promoted from the Portuguese League to the Portuguese Super League, but in this season's Portuguese Super League, Setubal's performance in the first half was not satisfactory.

In the end, Jorge Jesus failed to survive the cold winter break. He and Porto coach Machado were both dismissed from get out of class and became the troubled brother of the Portuguese Super League. However, unlike Machado, Jorge Jesus As soon as Si got out of class, he was invited back by his former employer, Amadora.

At this time, after sending Jorge Jesus away, Amadora dropped from the original mid-tier team to the bottom of the points in just one season. Not to mention the bleak relegation, in the first half of the Portuguese League The performance is not ideal, and the league ranking is not even as good as Camp Maio and Ives, the same relegated teams.

The return of the past achievements has greatly boosted the morale of the team.

Jorge Jesus led Amadora in a strong rebound back to the Portuguese Super League after the winter break.

This time, he vowed to bring Amadora back to the Portuguese Super League and prove his coaching ability in the Portuguese Super League.

After the winter break, Amadora looked unstoppable.

Sporting Lisbon's second team was unfortunate enough to stand in front of a team aspiring to overtake.

…………

…………

Amadora is about ten kilometers north of Lisbon, and the two teams are very familiar with each other.

Sporting Lisbon is still a trident combination of Marcelino, Sudong and Ronnie, but the situation is completely different from before.

Amadora under Jorge Jesus is very different from the Portuguese teams it has encountered before.

They used high pressure to press, and even directly over half the court.

In the case that the strength is not as good as that of the opponent, the second team of Lisbon Sporting has no way to be too effective.

In addition to pressing from a high position, Jesus adopted a quick attack, focusing on the flanks. During the winter break, he introduced the Argentine high center Campos, who could not play the ball, from the Portuguese Super League Alvika with a lot of money to improve the team's attacking power.

At the beginning of the game, Amadora launched a fierce attack on the second team of Sporting Lisbon.

Under the alternating impact of the attacking lineup headed by high center Campos, Jose Fonte's defense finally broke in the 33rd minute. What is even more unacceptable is that the second team of Lisbon Sporting organized the entire first half. Can't afford an effective offense.

...

There was silence in the locker room.

Everyone, including Su Dong, wrote disappointment on their faces.

It's an asymmetrical game, all-around.

After the change of coaches, Jorge Jesus carried out a comprehensive reorganization of Amadora, showing strong execution and control.

It's a team that's going to overtake.

What about Sporting Lisbon?

Limited by the existence of the first team, it is impossible for the second team of Sporting Lisbon to overtake, so this team's first task in Portugal is to avoid relegation. As long as the relegation is completed, they have basically completed the task.

From the current point of view, the pressure of relegation is not great.

Different mental outlook, showing different fighting will, coupled with the different coaching styles, made Amadora show aggressive momentum from the very beginning.

Sporting Lisbon's second team is relatively conservative, even weak.

We must be able to hold the ball on the front line. This is the only way for us to solve the passivity of the audience. Only by playing a threatening attack in front can the opponent not dare to press too much.

Head coach Jean James said with some distress.

His eyes first fell on Ronnie.

The top star of the second team is indeed very good at holding and dribbling the ball, and his speed is also very fast, but he is too sticky with the ball.

Marcelino is slightly better, but also has the same problem.

The overall strength of the second team of Sporting Lisbon is far inferior to that of their opponents. They managed to grab the ball. Once they cannot form an effective direct threat, it will only make their opponents more reckless.

But it's clear that Ronnie is a pretty good breaker and winger, but can't break the deadlock with the ball.

So does Marcelino.

Jean James' eyes swept over Ronnie and Marcelino and fell on Su Dong.

Su, can you?

Following a question from Yames, everyone in the locker room turned their attention to Su Dong.

For a time, Su Dong seemed to feel the pressure of Wan Jun, like a mountain, pressing heavily on his shoulders.

Can I?

This is the first time coach James has asked him that.

Su Dong looked at Ronnie, and found that the latter had encouragement in his eyes, and nodded to himself, as if to say: You can do it, brother, I will definitely help you.

Paul Fonseca and Raul Oliveira are big and strong, especially Paul Fonseca, he's very smart, he's the core of this team's defense, and I need to expand my range to avoid Open their defense.

When he said this, Su Dong felt a little excited in his heart.

This is equivalent to asking for the power of a frontcourt offensive core.

Yes. Jean James nodded and agreed, Edgar and Ronnie, as well as Hugo and Miguel, you should pay close attention to Su's running lines and match his movements.

As far as possible, try to pass the ball to me on the ground and fight my body. I have no advantage. Su Dong reminded his teammates.

Everyone around them nodded.

After all, Su Dong is only seventeen years old. Paul Fonseca and Oliveira are both twenty-eight years old. They are in their prime. One is from Porto, and the other is Brad, who was transferred to the British Championship from the World Cup. Ford, after returning to Portugal, has been playing for Amadora.

In the face of such an experienced player, it is normal for Su Dong to have no physical advantage.

After the head coach James explained the task, everyone began to prepare separately.

Su Dong walked over, gave Ronnie a high five, and bumped his shoulder.

Brother, wait a moment and pay attention to my gestures, and rush when you have a chance.

Ronnie nodded and patted Su Dong on the shoulder again.

Before he knew it, Su Dong was already a teammate who could fight side by side with him, help him at the same time, and sometimes even perform better than him.

In today's Su Dong, Ronnie can't see a trace of the figure who couldn't play in the amateur league half a year ago.

He is very happy for Su Dong's progress, but at the same time he is also encouraging and motivating himself to become stronger.

…………

…………

After changing sides in the second half, Amadora still took advantage of the overall strength to suppress the second team of Sporting Lisbon.

The team was even forced to retreat into the 30-meter area to defend from the start.

In such a passive situation, Sporting Lisbon Second Team is also difficult to create opportunities.

The scene is almost one-sided.

Su Dong kept running, back and forth, left and right, whenever there was a gap, he would run over.

He's waiting patiently to see when his teammates can get the ball out of the box.

This wait, a full wait for nearly twenty minutes.

Jose Fonte made a beautiful card position in the penalty area and blocked the opponent's center Campos with his body. After breaking the ball, he looked up at the front and quickly made a long pass.

The ball flew inside and outside the most densely populated restricted area and landed at the front of the 30-meter area.

Su Dong has been judging the placement of the ball and grabbed the spot before Paulo Fonseca.

Paul Fonseca took a step slower, and his whole body hit Su Dong's back, trying to squeeze Su Dong away.

After more than a month of physical training, Su Dong's body has also been greatly improved. When he was hit by Paul Fonseca, he was almost knocked out of position, but he reacted quickly and leaned back. , leaning on Fonseca with his body.

When the ball arrived, Su Dong raised his right foot, touched the ball lightly in mid-air, and slowed it down.

After the ball fell, it happened to be on the right side of Su Dong, and he turned around, bumped Fonseca with his shoulder, and stretched out his hand to block him.

It's one of those little tricks that Cruise taught him to harass opposing defenders very effectively.

Paul Fonseca was delayed by a series of actions by Su Dong, which made Su Dong successfully turn around.

Once you turn around, that's fine.

Su Dong kicked his legs hard and stabbed the ball forward with his right foot. The whole person moved like a rabbit and quickly swept past Fonseca.

Ronnie on the right had a very good tacit understanding with Su Dong. As soon as he saw Su Dong holding the ball with his back, he pressed forward.

The moment Su Dong threw away Fonseca, Ronnie also started.

Beautiful turn around and get rid of! Jean James shouted excitedly on the sidelines.

Two fast players quickly formed a counterattack in the frontcourt, forming a two-on-one situation.

After Su Dong shook off Fonseca, he regretted that he had not been able to train his left foot well, otherwise, a direct left foot pass would be the most threatening.

But now, he can only keep approaching Oliveira with the ball, forcing the opponent to keep retreating.

On the periphery of the opponent's penalty area, Su Dong realized that the opponent was not willing to retreat, and immediately distributed the ball with his right foot and passed it to Ronnie who was plugged in.

Unexpectedly, Ronnie rushed too fast, and the first ball stopped.

Su Dong was a little stunned.

Brother, don't worry about your usual waves, at the critical moment, don't make trouble!
