Chapter 42 I have a date with Mei Kaier
Chavez's two central defenders are both short, which makes them very passive in defense when Su Dong has the ball with his back to the goal.
There was nothing they could do. They were short and had short legs. As long as Su Dong's long legs stopped the ball, they would be out of reach.
But they also have their own advantages, that is, they are small, fast and flexible.
Whenever they have the chance, they will try to push the defense forward. On the one hand, this can relieve the pressure on the penalty area, especially the goal, and on the other hand, it can also provide more support to the midfield and even the frontcourt in a timely manner.
Both coach Chavez on the sidelines and the players on the field knew very well that blindly defending would only make them more passive and eventually lead to the goal being breached.
In this situation, as soon as they had the chance, they would launch a counterattack and push the defense line forward.
Su Dong didn't mind. He was always running and running non-stop as the opponent's defense line and the situation changed.
Whether moving left or right, or retreating to support the midfield, he never stopped for a moment.
This gave Chavez's two central defenders an illusion, could this guy be a solar-powered robot?
Otherwise, how to explain his 1.9-meter-tall body, yet he ran at such a high speed?
But when I thought about it, it didn’t make sense. It was evening now and the sun was about to set, so the solar energy wouldn’t last much longer.
Seeing Su Dong running like this, Chavez's two central defenders couldn't keep up.
In their view, as long as the Soviet Union and East China did not cross the defense line, they would be safe.
In terms of speed, how could they, who are just over 1.8 meters tall, lose to the tall guy who is 1.9 meters tall?
…
During a defensive retreat, Sporting Lisbon successfully .
As soon as Jose Fonte grabbed the ball, he passed it diagonally to the right.
Ronnie stopped the ball and headed towards the middle. After getting rid of the defensive players around him, he dribbled the ball diagonally towards the center circle.
Chavez's defense line kept retreating, and the two central defenders sandwiched Su Dong on the left and right.
Su Dong was also patiently waiting for an opportunity.
When Ronnie dribbled the ball to the center circle, he was blocked by the midfield defender. He quickly dribbled the ball back, turned to the right, and kicked a long pass over the top with his right foot.
The ball quickly passed the opponent's defense line and fell to the right.
The moment Ronnie passed the ball, he had already understood what he meant, and pushed his legs hard, sprinting forward at the fastest speed.
The opponent's two central defenders also started at the same time and rushed forward quickly.
The three of them were competing in speed at the same time, especially the left center back, who was closest to Su Dong, and both of them were rushing towards the ball.
Under the eyes of everyone at the scene and in the stunned gaze of the opponent's two central defenders, Su Dong, who was originally far behind the opponent and was considered safe by the two central defenders, actually gradually closed the distance after sprinting.
When he reached the 30-meter area of Chavez, the left center back even watched Su Dong catch up with him and gradually surpass him.
This...how is this possible?
Totally unscientific!
Chavez, the left center back, didn't even have time to shout or collapse. When he realized that Su Dong was about to overtake him, he immediately reached forward with both hands, grabbed the jersey behind Su Dong and pulled it hard.
This pull slowed down Su Dong a little. With the help of this pulling force, Chavez, the left center back, caught up and kicked forward with his right foot to clear the ball.
As long as you kick it to your teammates, you'll be safe.
Although Su Dong's jersey was pulled, he still rushed forward.
He has been doing running training under Pontes' guidance in the past week.
It was mainly aimed at the problems he had revealed during his previous running, such as the fact that he tended to stumble when sprinting at high speeds.
This may seem like a small problem, but it actually has a huge impact, because staggering will make it impossible for him to perform other movements when sprinting at high speed, and his technique will easily go awry.
Although the one-week special training is short, it still has some effect.
After Su Dong stabilized his body, he took the lead in kicking the ball forward gently during a high-speed sprint.
The opponent's clearance hit the sole of his sneakers.
Being kicked in the sole of the shoe is not uncommon in football matches. After Su Dong was kicked, he just staggered for a moment and quickly regained his balance. On the contrary, after the opponent kicked Su Dong, his body stagnated, and then he lost his balance and fell directly outside the penalty area.
Su Dong took another step forward and caught up with the ball on the penalty area line.
At this time, the opponent's other central defender had also chased to Su Dong's left side.
The ball cannot be stopped. Once it is stopped, the opponent will block the shooting angle. Plus, the goalkeeper will block it, so this shooting opportunity will be gone.
Such a judgment emerged in Su Dong's mind. He almost didn't think twice. Without waiting for the other party to react, he chased after him, bent his bow and drew his arrow, and shot with his right foot.
Batty GOL!!!!!!
This powerful shot from the right side of the penalty spot in the penalty area surprised the opponent's central defender and goalkeeper.
Although the goalkeeper dived to the right, he still couldn't prevent the ball from hitting the right side of the goal.
One to zero!
"Wow!!!!!"
Su Dong jumped up on the spot, clenched his fist and shouted.
The Sporting Lisbon fans watching on the sidelines also cheered.
"Who was the player who scored this goal? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"Was he promoted from the youth team?"
"He looks really tall. I had no impression of him before. He doesn't look like he's from the youth team either."
"Brought in during the winter break?"
"I've heard of him. I think he was brought in from Sporting CP. He performed well in the Portuguese Second Division before. But I don't know his specific name. His jersey number is 36."
"Wow, he was so fast just now."
"Isn't it? The other two central defenders couldn't outrun him. It's so scary."
"I remember now, isn't he the Little God of War?"
"Little God of War?"
"Yes, his shot is very similar to Batistuta's GOL, so everyone calls him the Little God of War."
"Little God of War!"
"Little God of War!!!"
When Su Dong was celebrating the goal with his teammates on the court, he heard the fans on the sidelines shouting "Little God of War". He was a little surprised, and then he smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that this nickname from the Portuguese Sporting Club would follow him to Sporting Lisbon.
"Oh my God, you've stolen all my limelight." Ronnie felt aggrieved and cried, and came over to hug him.
The first shot resulted in a goal, and the whole process was quite exciting. This made Ronnie, the sports tower, oh no, how should Correira's number one brother deal with it?
"I don't mind the limelight, but I have to clean the floor for three weeks. It's a good way to save some housekeeping fees."
Ronnie was speechless.
At this moment, he wanted to slap himself and then step on himself hard.
What are you doing when you have nothing to do?
Now, after three shots, none of them went in. Su Dong scored with the first shot, and was forced to sweep the ball three times. This life is really miserable.
"Can you give me a discount? I just had two shots on target." Ronnie tried to bargain.
"Talk to Jose about this."
Jose?
Ronnie was desperate.
This guy who is determined to devote all his energy to picking up girls, the greatest career in human history, hates cleaning the most. As long as he knows that Ronnie has to sweep the floor for three weeks, he means that he can't miss a day.
…
Su Dong's goal made James on the sidelines smile from ear to ear.
This goal not only broke the deadlock on the field, but also started a good start for Sporting Lisbon II.
The most feared thing in a football match is the situation where the team fails to score after a long attack and is counterattacked by the opponent, because the rate of conceding goals is too high.
But now, Su Dong's goal also came from a counterattack, which is equivalent to putting a tight ring on Chavez, telling the opponent, if you dare to counterattack, I will counterattack your counterattack at any time.
"This kid is really fast, and as Pontes said, he can really get faster and faster," Cardozo exclaimed.
Su Dong, who is 1.9 meters tall, was pulled by the opponent with both hands when he rushed forward. The whole jersey was pulled like a taut bowstring. If it were not for its good quality, it would have torn long ago.
But even so, it still couldn't stop Su Dong's charge.
"He can pass the ball in high position, has the speed to counterattack in low position, has excellent running ability, can play on the wing or in the middle, and has the ability to break through..."
As Jean Yames spoke, his eyes were fixed on Su Dong, his tone full of admiration, "This kid is really unscientific, but it also makes people look forward to it."
Cardozo and Silva also nodded.
As coaches, their greatest wish is to train excellent players.
Quaresma and Ronaldo belong to this list, while Sudong has just been included.
…
…
With Su Dong breaking the deadlock, the situation on the scene suddenly became clear.
Chavez was still passive, but was also trying to find opportunities for counterattacks and attacks, which caused Chavez's players to no longer focus on defense but to be distracted by offense.
If there is no consensus on the field, it is easy for players to have disagreements.
This became even more obvious in the second half.
In the 53rd minute of the second half, Su Dong got the ball with his back again. When Ronnie was blocked, he turned around and passed the ball to Marcelino who ran into an open space on the left. The latter drove straight into the penalty area, shook off the defender on the left side of the penalty area, forced a breakthrough to the end line and made a cross.
In the penalty area, Su Dong leaned his back against the defender, facing to the left, stopped the ball with his chest, and then volleyed it into the air with his right foot.
This light shot easily sent the ball into Chavez's goal again.
Two to zero!
Scored twice!
Su Dong was so excited that he ran around the field.
He could never have imagined that he would score twice in his first game for Sporting CP, and now in Sporting Lisbon, he scored twice in his first game again.
Could it be that his career will be marked by scoring twice in his debut?
Su Dong is hard to say what will happen in the future, but the feeling of scoring a goal is really great!
The only regret is that there are too few spectators for the second team's game, only a mere one or two hundred people, and the cheers are not shocking enough.
If it was at the Alvalade Stadium with 50,000 people cheering in unison, it would have been amazing!
But the goal was still wonderful after all. Su Dong ran around the field excitedly, high-fived Jose Semedo on the bench, and then picked up Ronnie who was running over and hugged him by the waist.
"It seems like you really want to snatch the top spot from me." Ronnie complained sourly.
