Chapter 15 I love you, Su Dong!
Although Antonio Pereira was sitting like an old monk in meditation, it didn't mean that he was unaware of the situation around him.
When Su Dong left the bench and ran to the back, Pereira thought at first that he was going to warm up and didn't pay much attention to it. But after waiting for a while, he found that Su Dong had not come back yet. He immediately stood up and looked back, just in time to see Su Dong discussing something with two people in the stands, as if he had completely forgotten that he was in the game.
This guy……
etc!!!!
When Pereira saw someone in the stands clearly, he was shocked.
Cristiano Ronaldo!
Oh my goodness! Why is he here?
Moreover, it seemed that he and Su Dong were very familiar with each other. The two of them sometimes pointed at the court, sometimes pointed at a dark-skinned young player next to them, and their relationship seemed very close.
How is this going?
How come Sporting Lisbon's youth talent came to Sporting Lisbon to watch the game?
Is it because of him?
Pereira looked at Su Dong again, and his eyes suddenly became different.
As a football practitioner in Lisbon, although he is only the head coach of a third-level team, Antonio Pereira also knows a lot of people, especially the three Portuguese Super League teams in the same city.
Many fans may only know Quaresma and Edgar Marcelino, two youth training talents who have just been promoted to the first team, or Laurenzo who has performed well after being loaned to Bristol in English League One, but Pereira knows that Cristiano Ronaldo is not inferior to any of them, including Quaresma.
But how could this Madeira boy, who was rumored to have a somewhat aloof personality, know Su Dong and seem to get along particularly well with him?
It seems that we really need to re-evaluate this Chinese boy.
…
The first half ended with the score at zero to zero.
Atletico kept the goal intact with tenacious defense, while Loretano was not threatened much.
In the entire first half, Athletic Club only had one shot on goal.
The ball is cut off when it reaches the forward point, so naturally no chance can be created.
Head coach Pereira did not continue to sit back and relax, but instead welcomed the players down and went all the way with captain Mateello.
"There's no threat in our attack from the front. If this continues, we won't be able to defend," Pereira said.
Ma Tai nodded, "Yes, if we keep defending like this, it will take a lot of effort on our physical strength, if nothing else."
"I think, let's try Su as the substitute, what do you think?" Pereira asked.
"Su?" Matthew looked at the head coach with a little surprise.
As the captain who personally trained Su Dong, Matelos was naturally aware of Su Dong's strength. He even wanted to put Su Dong in the roster as early as the first round of the game, but Pereira did not trust Su Dong very much.
Before the game, the head coach told him that he planned to give Su Dong only about fifteen minutes.
But why has it changed now?
"I trust your judgement, Marco," Pereira explained his reasons.
Although, that sounds a bit far-fetched.
Matelos didn't think much about it. He felt that it was more likely because the starting striker performed so badly and couldn't hold the ball at all.
" What do you plan to exchange?"
"Switch at halftime, what do you think?"
Well……
Ma Tai was slightly stunned. His intuition told him that this was a bit radical, but not unacceptable.
If we continue playing, there will be no changes in the second half. It would be better to let Su Dong come on earlier, maybe there will be a turning point?
This kid's shooting skills are getting better and better with practice.
…
Su Dong was called back to the locker room by the coach during halftime training.
This surprised and delighted him, and he vaguely guessed what was going to happen.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the locker room, Matelo told him what head coach Pereira meant.
"Your task is to deal with the two central defenders and seize every opportunity to shoot. Everything else is up to us. We will all pass the ball to you."
Martello said this very seriously, and it made no sense for anyone else around him.
You know, in the entire first half, Atletico only had one shot, which was an anti-aircraft cannon from the midfielder.
Although third-tier teams have poor ability to create chances and fewer shots, this is still too little.
"Don't have any pressure, just play normally like you usually do in training, understand?" Matelo encouraged.
Su Dong nodded heavily.
He was somewhat excited, but more of it was anticipation.
He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
His chance has finally come!
…
…
"Su Dong!!!"
"Come on Su Dong!!!"
When Su Dong followed his teammates out of the player tunnel, he immediately heard the shouts of Ronnie and Semedo from the stands.
The coquettish Cape Verdean even shouted out loud: "I love you, Sudong!"
Su Dong, who was standing at the player's tunnel, almost fell over when he heard this and gave him a middle finger. As a result, this shameless guy shouted at him, "If you can score a goal tonight, I'll treat you to a good time at Indenton."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ronnie pushed him down on the seat and scolded him with a smile: "Are you crazy?"
Many fans of the competition stared at the black boy with wide eyes, as if they were shocked. This is too blatant, isn't it? What do you want to do?
On the contrary, Su Dong in the stadium was confused.
Indentonte is a station on the Green Line subway, not far from the Marquis of Pombal Square. The Romario restaurant where he had treated Ronnie and others to a seafood dinner is nearby.
Is Semedo going to treat himself to a meal?
"Your friend is risking his life." Captain Matelo said with a smile.
Su Dong nodded. Isn’t it?
Semedo really tried his best as he spent more than 70 euros on a meal.
"Wait, you don't know?" Martello asked curiously.
Su Dong was slightly stunned. Could it be that he had misunderstood?
Martello laughed out loud immediately. "It seems that you really don't know."
"what do you know?"
"I'll tell you after you score a goal." After saying that, Matelos waved at him and walked towards the goal with a smile on his face.
Su Dong looked at him, then looked back at Jose Semedo, still confused.
Why are these two guys so weird?
…
The two central defenders of Loletano felt a little strange when they saw Su Dong slowly walking towards them.
This young boy looks silly. Is Sporting CP out of money? Why did they replace him?
Su Dong was wondering what happened in Indentonte. As he walked, he looked back at Ronnie and Semedo who were waving at him in the stands. Then he turned back and found that he had accidentally walked into the opponent's half.
Feeling the contemptuous looks from the Lorettano players, Su Dong himself felt a little embarrassed.
It's so fucking embarrassing!
According to the rules, the second half should be kicked off by the Atletico team, and as a forward, Su Dong should stand in the center circle.
It’s over. My identity as a rookie is completely exposed.
Never mind, just focus on playing football first.
But Loretano's two central defenders looked at each other and shook their heads in their hearts at the same time.
This guy looks much easier to deal with than the one in the first half.
When Su Dong stood in the center circle and was about to kick off, he hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to take drugs.
After all, it is the first game, so it is safer to fight with full buffs.
Fortunately, he has accumulated a lot of King of Football Points by competing with Ronnie recently. A bottle of King of Football Points potion costs 10,000 points. Although it hurts a bit, he can still afford it.
After using up three bottles of potions in the system, three buffs immediately appeared on the personal attribute panel, and the attributes also increased by 10%.
Su Dong suddenly felt much more at ease.
…
kick off.
Su Dong kicked the ball to his teammate and ran forward.
He is 1.86 meters tall and thin, but his height makes him look like a center.
The two central defenders of the other team did not take him too seriously. They all thought that this kid was stupid and not very good.
Just as Su Dong rushed to the defense line, the Athletics Association's midfielder made a mistake in passing the ball, the ball was intercepted, and he had to run back.
The ball was quickly retrieved, but still could not be passed across the center line.
After being intercepted twice, Su Dong saw clearly the team's problems.
When the team snatched the ball again, Su Dong did not continue to stay in front like he did in the first half or just now, but took the initiative to retreat and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Under the opponent's tight pressure, the ball was like a hot potato.
Soon, the ball came to Su Dong's feet. He stopped and passed it to the other side without waiting for the central defender behind him to get close.
Even though it was just a transition, at least the ball was not intercepted this time.
Su Dong ran to the right side immediately, and the ball soon came to his feet again. This time he passed it back to the middle.
The ball was delivered securely in both touches.
This is also the result of Su Dong's hard training over the past period of time.
And every time he touches the ball, he will get 50 points of King of Football value.
Obviously, he can also gain some King of Football value in official matches.
The two central defenders of the opposing team were tall and strong, and players like them don't like running too much, so they were not interested in Su Dong running around. At the beginning, one of them tried to catch up with him, but later they just stared at him from a distance.
Su Dong once again received an impatient pass from his teammate, but found that the opponent's central defender did not keep up and there were no defensive players around. So he did not hesitate to stop the ball, turned around, and moved forward while gesturing to his teammates.
Come on, brothers, follow me!
The core of Atletico's midfield came from Benfica's youth training. He reacted immediately and rushed forward at the fastest speed.
Su Dong had just taken two steps forward when the opponent's center back rushed forward.
Without waiting for the opponent to get close, Su Dong gently sent the ball with his right foot in front of the core of the midfield, and he smiled at the opponent's central defender, exerted force with his legs, and started quickly.
The opposing central defender had always thought that Su Dong, who was 1.86 meters tall, should also be a power center. However, he did not expect that Su Dong suddenly started running at a very fast speed, leaving him behind in an instant.
After Su Dong started, he moved forward as fast as he could.
Another central defender of Loretano was retreating quickly, while his teammate made a straight pass and sent the ball behind the defense line.
The pass was a little off target. Although Su Dong got the ball first, the opponent's central defender also returned to his position .
Su Dong had no choice but to stop the ball with an emergency stop, and the opponent's central defender also stopped as well.
But immediately afterwards, Su Dong made a fake move, pretending to start again, and dribbled the ball into the penalty area, tricking the opponent's central defender into trying to block him immediately, but Su Dong suddenly pushed the ball sideways with his right foot, changed direction and cut inside, and chased after him again.
In an instant, Su Dong forced his way through the opponent's defense line.
