Chapter 16 The feeling of scoring a goal
At the front of the penalty area, he would dribble the ball sideways, cut inside to shake off the defender and then shoot. This is Batistuta's specialty and an important part of Batistuta's GOL.
During the past period of time, whether it was extra training within the team or in his own private training, Su Dong had been practicing hard. He even used this trick to score many goals against Ronnie when facing her .
It can be said that Su Dong is already familiar with this tactic.
When he dribbled past the defender and cut inside, his mind and body naturally followed the rhythm he had trained for some time , and he completely forgot that he was in a game.
Finally, at the forefront of the arc, after firmly standing on his left foot, his body tilted slightly to the left. His whole body seemed like a tightly drawn crossbow, and all the strength of his body was gathered on his raised right foot at the fastest speed.
Then, he kicked out quickly with his right foot and hit the rolling ball.
The ball was like a crossbow arrow, flying out at an extremely fast speed, with the force of thunder, straight into the right side of Loletano's goal and broke into the goal.
The opponent's goalkeeper was stunned!
Everyone in the audience was stunned!
The referee was slightly stunned, and then blew the whistle to indicate that the goal was valid.
A clear whistle sounded above the stadium, waking everyone in the stadium up suddenly.
Immediately afterwards, cheers broke out in the stadium.
More than a thousand Atletico fans were cheering. They didn't even know the name of the player who had just come on as a substitute. The only thing they remembered was his jersey number.
Number 36!
You don't need to look to know that this is the substitute among substitutes.
But this sudden shot was so amazing and unexpected!
It’s also so addictive!
"Wow, so beautiful, Sudong!" Ronnie jumped up excitedly in the stands and shouted loudly.
"So handsome, Sudong, I love you so much!" Jose Semedo covered his mouth with his hands and shouted loudly.
Su Dong on the court also reacted.
Goal?
He actually scored a goal!
His mind was completely blank. The buzzing sound made it completely impossible for him to think. The only thing he could think of was doubt.
is this real?
Did I really score a goal?
His teammates rushed over and hugged him.
It was he who just passed the ball to Su Dong. Although the quality was not high, it was still well-placed.
But Su Dong had no idea what his name was, and they had never even spoken a word to each other before.
"It's so beautiful! This goal is like Batistuta!" teammates shouted excitedly.
More and more teammates came running over.
Celebrating goals for teammates is a common practice in all teams unless there is a conflict between players.
"Yes, he really looks like the God of War Batistuta."
"It's so exciting. Such a goal is so exciting."
"Wow, that's pretty cool, isn't it?"
"Boy, I didn't expect you had a trick up your sleeve. That goal was so beautiful."
His ears were filled with the congratulations of his teammates, but Su Dong just stood there blankly.
Over the years, he had imagined countless times what would happen if he scored a goal in an official match.
He has thought of countless fantastic goal celebrations, such as a somersault or a kneeling slide?
If all else fails, a glider can always do, right?
If it really doesn't work, just pretend to have a girlfriend and it's okay to kiss the finger without a ring.
But when Su Dong really scored a goal, he found himself completely stunned.
My mind went blank and I couldn't remember anything.
He just stood there stupidly, accepting the congratulations from his teammates and listening to the cheers from more than a thousand fans in the stadium. No one called out his name because they didn't know him at all.
There was no worship from the entire stadium when Jardel scored, no majestic appearance as imagined, and there was not even a long sound of the goal from the live commentary. He just stood there stupidly, smiling stupidly.
So this is what it feels like to score a goal!
It's a little silly, but it's so wonderful!
He enjoyed this feeling, enjoyed this beauty.
"Are you completely crazy?" Matelos was the goalkeeper and the last one to run over. He first hugged Su Dong and then walked back side by side with Su Dong, who had regained some consciousness.
"It's a bit silly." Su Dong said with a wry smile.
"It's always like this for your first goal," Matelo laughed. "It proves you haven't scored enough goals."
"Yeah." Su Dong agreed deeply.
I forgot who said this to him before, but scoring a goal is like doing something indescribable. The first time is always nervous and exciting, but gradually, you get used to it, and may even become a little numb.
Turns out it’s true.
…
Loretano's two central defenders were embarrassed and annoyed.
Before, they all thought that the young player who had just been substituted on was stupid, but in the end they found out that they were the stupid ones.
Su Dong's goal put Loretano into a passive position.
This is how it is in low-level leagues, with limited levels and weak chance creation. Whoever can seize more opportunities will often win, but many times, seizing one or two opportunities in a game is already quite good.
Su Dong's goal almost made Loretano's pre-match goal of winning three points away from home fail.
The head coach was furious on the sidelines.
Just like all the professional players in the team, Loletano's head coach had previously coached in the Portuguese First Division and was considered a bit famous in Portugal. But because of this, he looked down on the Portuguese Second Division from the bottom of his heart.
Facing the mediocre Sporting CP, he originally aimed for three points, but Su Dong's goal seemed to give him a slap in the face. How could he not be annoyed?
What should you do if you have the advantage in strength but fail to defeat your opponent and instead concede a goal through a surprise attack?
Loletano's choice is to continue to increase the attack, and the defense line, especially the two central defenders, should pay attention to following the kid who scored the goal.
But the people on the athletic board are not fools either.
Pereira changed his previous meditative look and excitedly directed the team's defense on the sidelines. At the same time, he signaled Su Dong to try to stay in the front and gain more counterattack opportunities.
Looking at him, it was as if he had scored the goal himself.
One side played at home and had the lead, so they defended more tenaciously, while the other side replaced two players but still failed to create a threat, and became more anxious as they attacked.
result……
…
There is a flaw on the right side!
When Loletano's left-back pressed forward to attack and had no time to come back, and the Athletic Club's midfield core decisively passed the ball to the right, Su Dong reacted immediately .
Loletano's left center back moved to the side, and Su Dong followed behind him.
When the time came, Su Dong immediately pointed in front of him and shouted, "Pass it forward!"
Before he could finish his words, he pushed his legs hard and rushed forward at the fastest speed.
Loletano's right center back remained alert and followed Su Dong all the way. When he saw Su Dong start, he also started, and pressed his shoulder with one hand and grabbed his arm with the other, trying to stop him.
Su Dong reacted quickly and struggled hard with his left hand to break free from the opponent's entanglement.
But the other party didn't grab the arm and shoulder, but instead reached out to grab the jersey.
Su Dong was not unfamiliar with this situation. It was exactly like when he was defending Ronnie. He knew there was no other way, so he had to give it a try and use both hands and feet, regardless of whether he committed a foul or not.
Besides, what if the referee didn’t notice?
Su Dong clearly felt that his jersey was almost torn by the opponent, and he was unable to sprint with all his strength, but he took the opportunity to shake his hands and slapped the opponent's hand that was holding the jersey with his left hand.
The jersey was soaked with sweat and was slippery to begin with. Su Dong slapped it hard, and as soon as his hand loosened, the jersey slipped off.
Su Dong quickly came back and received a diagonal pass from his teammate on the right outside the penalty area.
As soon as the ball entered the penalty area, the opponent's central defender chased after him, and the goalkeeper decisively abandoned the goal and attacked.
Su Dong had no extra time to think. His stop of the ball was not solid enough. He did not stop the ball well the first time. He had to quickly adjust his foot gently, then chase after it and shoot with his right foot.
The ball passed through the goalkeeper's lower right corner.
Although Loletano's goalkeeper bent down to block the ball, he was not as fast as the ball.
The opponent's central defender chased back desperately, but could only watch the ball go into the net again.
Two to zero!
After the shot, Su Dong lost his balance and slipped on the grass.
But when he saw the ball go into the net again, he quickly got up from the ground and rushed to the sidelines excitedly, shouting all the way, "I scored! I scored! I scored again!!!"
The fans of Atletico Madrid in the stands cheered again, and many even rushed out of their seats and shouted at Su Dong who was running on the sidelines.
"Good job, boy, well done!"
"That's a beautiful entry, what's your name?"
“What a great kick!”
"You scored twice! You actually scored twice!!!"
Su Dong rushed all the way to the bottom of the stands where Ronnie and Semedo were, panting, with his hands on his hips, looking at his friends on the stage and laughing.
"Tsk, it's just two goals. How dare you show off in front of me?" Ronnie said with disdain.
Semedo laughed and gave Su Dong a thumbs up, "Well done, you are worthy of being my brother, and you have made great progress."
He really admired him, because he knew very well that Su Dong did not have the strength he had now a month ago.
"That's right. Look who has been training him these days!" Ronnie said proudly.
Teammates ran over one after another to celebrate the goal with Su Dong. Some people recognized Cristiano Ronaldo and realized that he had a close relationship with Su Dong.
Martello was surprised by this.
He knew that Su Dong had been training outside and had a friend who played in the youth training camp of a Portuguese Super League team, but he did not expect that it would be Cristiano Ronaldo.
This is the number one talent in Sporting Lisbon's youth training, and is in no way inferior to Quaresma who has become very popular recently.
When he thought of the recent progress of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, Matellio felt relieved.
Of course, he didn't know that it was not only Ronnie who was guiding Su Dong, but also Pontes and Nare, the leading youth training experts of Sporting Lisbon and even in Portuguese football.
Otherwise, Martelli would have been even more surprised.
