Chapter 8 Is this Su Dong?
"Su, what position do you usually play?"
On the sidelines, the temporary guest coach asked Su Dong.
"forward."
After hearing this, the coach frowned, looked at the other players, and when his sight returned to Su Dong, he said, "I'm afraid we can't let you play as a striker today. We already have two strikers and three wingers."
This is also a major feature of youth training, almost everyone is aiming to be a striker.
"Well, I see that you are in pretty good physical condition, how about you temporarily play as a central defender?"
"Central defender?" Su Dong was a little surprised.
He is a forward, how can he be a central defender?
These two positions are one in front and one behind, how can they be guest stars?
"Coach, I..."
"Okay, that's it for now." The coach waved his hand and interrupted him, obviously not taking his opinions and ideas to heart. "Get ready and do your best in a while. Don't take the results too seriously, the most important thing is participation."
They are the weakest team, and the only thing they can comfort themselves is that the most important thing is participation.
Su Dong was angry.
He refused to accept.
…
In the personal warehouse of the Road to King of Football system, Su Dong chose to use the Titan mixture.
Suddenly, he felt a warm current flowing rapidly in his blood and quickly spreading throughout his body.
"Using Titan's flask, the host's strength is enhanced and lasts for 120 minutes."
Su Dong was helpless. He always felt that the system was operating behind the scenes because it didn't tell him how much this Titan potion had improved.
But he quickly entered the personal attribute panel and found that his strength had increased from 37 points to 41 points.
In other words, it increased by about 10%.
Afterwards, he immediately used the Swiftness Potion and the Energy Potion, both of which lasted for 120 minutes.
Both potions also increased his speed, explosiveness, and endurance by ten percent.
It may seem insignificant when picked out individually, but after full buff, the overall improvement is still very obvious .
"Hey, hurry up, what are you doing dawdling on the sidelines?"
Seeing Su Dong dawdling on the sidelines, the coach couldn't wait to urge him on.
Everyone around looked at Su Dong at the same time, and they all felt that this Chinese boy was a bit of a drag.
Su Dong didn't pay attention to everyone's gaze. He grabbed a bottle of Manniu, drank a few sips, and then walked onto the stage leisurely.
He had tried it in the morning and found that the Bull drink could help his body recover faster than usual .
Playing as a center back?
Just wait and see!
When Su Dong came on the court, he made a secret decision in his heart.
…
…
Game start.
Although they are all young players around 15 or 16 years old, there is a huge gap in their strength.
The team wearing yellow vests that Su Dong was in was obviously weaker and was at a disadvantage from the start.
Not long after, the opponent scored a goal.
This made the coach on the sidelines so angry that he jumped to his feet.
"Su, what's wrong with you? That should be your defensive position."
Su Dong looked back at the head coach on the sidelines. He wanted to explain, it was clearly his partner who ran out of position and he was forced to move with him, so how come it was my fault in the end?
But he knew that this was a prejudice.
So he didn't explain any more.
The red vests team is indeed stronger and their cooperation is better. On the other hand, the yellow vests team where Su Dong is located are not only weaker, but also have poor cooperation, and the players make many mistakes in passing and receiving the ball.
Under the opponent's tight pressure, the midfielder made a mistake in passing the ball and passed it directly to the opponent's forward.
Isn't this an assist?
Su Dong was very depressed, but there was nothing he could do about such a stupid teammate, so he could only return to his position as soon as possible.
The opposing forward had just scored a goal and was very confident. After getting the ball, he turned around and rushed towards Su Dong.
It seemed that he wanted to defeat Su Dong alone and score another goal.
Su Dong was paying close attention to the opponent's movements and kept retreating.
Over the past month, he has fought with Ronnie countless times, all of which were one-on-one PKs.
At this moment, looking at the opponent approaching with the ball, he had a feeling - the opponent was too weak .
He was used to the intensity of competing with Ronnie, and suddenly when he met a much weaker opponent, he found that no matter what the opponent planned to do, he had a way to defend or even steal the ball.
This feeling was so strong that when the opponent rushed into his defense area with the ball, Su Dong, who was originally retreating, did not want to delay any longer and suddenly took a step forward.
The two men almost brushed past each other, the other staggered and almost lost his balance, but the ball under his feet disappeared.
There was a burst of exclamations from all around.
Nice steal!
After Su Dong intercepted the ball, he quickly dribbled forward.
The central defender suddenly dribbled forward with the ball and quickly disrupted the opponent's defensive deployment.
The tactics of the youth team's games are not rigorous, and once chaos breaks out, there are loopholes everywhere.
Before the defensive players approached, Su Dong passed the ball to a teammate in the midfield and quickly pointed it forward.
"Pass it forward."
The ball was like a hot potato. The teammate had just got the ball and was afraid of being entangled and intercepted by the opponent, so he wanted to pass it anxiously. But when he heard Su Dong's shout, he didn't think much and just kicked the ball forward.
Su Dong, who was originally dribbling forward with the ball, sprinted forward at the fastest speed at the moment of the pass. He was like an arrow, piercing through the two defensive lines of the red vests' center and backcourt.
The opposing team also had a defender chasing back quickly, but Su Dong still got there first and stopped the ball outside the penalty area.
One on one.
Su Dong did not give the opponent any chance to react. After controlling the ball, he immediately moved forward with the ball while keeping an eye on the goalkeeper behind him.
Step by step……
When the opponent couldn't help but kick the ball first, Su Dong suddenly moved the ball to the right, chased after him, and shot.
There was only a bang heard at the scene, and the ball flew into the goal behind the goalkeeper at lightning speed like a cannonball.
From beginning to end, Su Dong did not give the players of both sides and the fans on the sidelines any time to react. It was not until the ball went in that everyone reacted.
Warm applause soon broke out from the sidelines.
"Wow, that's a great goal!"
"Too fast and too powerful!"
"I never thought he could make a shot like that."
Not only were the fans around exclaiming in praise, the players on both sides were also very surprised, and even the coaches and head coach Gorba on the sidelines were shocked.
Is this Su Dong?
"Just a coincidence?" The coach couldn't believe it.
Gorba also found it hard to believe, because in his memory, Su Dong did not have such ability.
If there was, he couldn't have no impression of it.
"It must be a coincidence, it must be." The coach said with certainty.
As a guest coach for the Yellow Vests, he does not believe in his players.
Gorba tried hard to recall everything that had just happened, from intercepting the ball to running in from behind, and especially the sudden and quick run after passing the ball, Su Dong's performance made him feel unbelievable.
Not to mention in the youth team, even in the first team, many players may not be able to do it.
Is this really just a coincidence?
"Let him play as a striker." Gorba said. He wanted to see if it was a coincidence.
Before the coach could react, the head coach reminded again: "Let other players pass the ball to him more."
Two instructions were quickly delivered to the court.
By the time the red vests were ready to kick off again, Su Dong was already standing in the forward position.
…
Another attack by the Yellow Vests.
Su Dong was at the front of the penalty area, using his body to block the opponent's central defender, and he stopped a little too long when he received the ball.
But it didn't matter. He turned around quickly, chased forward, and kicked again.
Once again, the ball was blasted into the red vests' goal like a cannonball.
"pretty!"
Gorba, who was watching the game on the sidelines, became excited.
It's not just because of Su Dong's goal.
The fans around were also excited because such a goal was so satisfying and full of violent aesthetics.
"His goals remind me of Batistuta," Gorba said excitedly.
Once is an accident, but twice is inevitable.
He is now 100% sure that Su Dong's goal was not accidental.
Why is this kid suddenly behaving so well?
Could it be that he has really been practicing hard for more than a month?
Gorba did not intend to delve into this issue because he saw a sharp knife in the hands of Sporting CP.
A young player who stands out among his peers.
No one knows better than Gorba what this means.
…
In just sixty minutes of play, Su Dong scored four goals.
Two goals were scored in each half.
Although it is not difficult to score goals in youth team matches, it is very rare to score four goals in a single game in a team like Sporting CP.
Gorba had already forgotten who the previous one was.
But one thing he was sure of was that the man left not long after.
Sporting CP is destined to not be able to keep such players. As soon as they emerge, they are often targeted by other high-level teams, especially Belarence.
As part of the partnership, Belarence has priority rights to players from Sporting CP.
Of course, every player who leaves will leave a considerable fee for Sporting CP, ranging from 100,000 euros to 30,000 or 40,000 euros. The key depends on how the player performs.
This amount of money is a drop in the bucket for big teams, but it is a huge sum of money for Sporting CP.
Gorba was already familiar with this kind of thing.
As soon as the team match was over, he ignored everything and went straight to meet Su Dong.
…
"Su, your performance just now was really great!" Gorba praised with a smile on his face, "If I remember correctly, your training contract with us has expired, right?"
Su Dong nodded and said that it would expire in two days.
"Are you interested in renewing the contract?" Gorba asked with concern.
That attentive attitude seemed like two different people from before.
Su Dong immediately understood that the team wanted to keep him because of his performance.
This was within Su Dong's expectations, but it still made him happy.
He had no feelings for the Portuguese Football Association, and he didn't even have any good feelings towards Gorba and others.
But he needs a team and a stage to show himself.
"Of course, you don't have to answer me right away. Come to my office later and listen to our arrangements and plans for you, as well as our sincerity. Then go back and discuss it with your family and agent, and then it won't be too late to give me an answer."
Gorba's words made Su Dong feel relieved.
He really couldn't make a decision at this moment.
