Chapter 86 Boy, you’re not that capable yet!
Marco Martello sits in the stands .
Around him, most of the players of Sporting CP's first team were present, and head coach Gorba and first-team coach Antonio Pereira were also present.
Fortunately, they are not famous, otherwise, it might be mistaken for a group activity.
For Sporting CP, which is in the third level, the Portuguese Cup final is already a hall-level event they have always dreamed of. In order to be able to come to the scene to watch this game, they also tried every possible way. In the end, Matelos found Su Dong and got the twenty or so tickets from Su Dong.
At this moment, the players of Sporting CP were sitting in the stands, looking at the young Sporting Lisbon player No. 36 running on the field. They had different feelings in their hearts, but one thing was certain, that was admiration.
Half a year ago, Su Dong played with them in the third-level Portuguese Second Division League 2, but now, he has entered the league and became the youngest starting player in the history of the Portuguese Cup final.
Anyone who has ever played football would think that Su Dong relies on luck.
He relied on hard training day and night to get to today and walk into this stadium.
…
"I still have some doubts. Is that really Su?" asked Canelas, who had passed many good balls to Su Dong.
As Su Dong's former partner, he felt proud to see Su Dong starting.
But more of it is admiration, and a kind of unbelievable illusion.
The same is true for everyone else .
In fact, since Su Dong joined Sporting Lisbon, he has never returned to Sporting CP. After moving his home to Parque des Nations, Su Dong only left his home phone number for Matelos, because the captain of Sporting CP was the first senior who took the initiative to help him with special training and taught him a lot of things.
Sporting Lisbon and Sporting CP, these are two completely different worlds.
Even if there is a chance to meet in a cup competition in the future, it would just be a chance encounter.
Given Su Dong's age and the momentum he has shown in recent times, there is no way he will return to Sporting CP.
"Did you see that? He was actually directing Quaresma!"
Baru was also very excited.
That's Quaresma!
Figo II is a talented winger recognized by Portugal and even the whole of Europe.
But now on the court, he followed Su Dong's gestures and listened to Su Dong's instructions.
Others also saw this scene and found it unbelievable.
This looks like a young player who has only played four games?
"There must be something we don't know. In fact, Su Dong's performance at Sporting Lisbon may be much better and more outstanding than what we see in the newspapers and games."
After all, Matelos has worked in a Portuguese Super League team and understands the operating rules of the Portuguese Super League team's locker room.
It is a place where strength speaks louder than words. No matter who you are, if you don’t have enough strength and don’t show good performance, no one will respect you.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about Sporting Lisbon’s Romanian center forward Nicolaj, a star player that head coach Bologna has focused on introducing. He is young and has high hopes. He was even used to suppress Jardel in the opening game against Porto.
But what about now?
Even without injuries, Nikulai could not shake Jardel's position at all.
To put it bluntly, he is just not as skilled as others.
Without strong enough strength, no matter how powerful your background is, no one will be convinced when you are on the court.
But Su Dong made Quaresma submit to him, which was not easy and quite difficult.
"Sporting Lisbon's first shot just now, Quaresma's volley with the outside of his foot, came from Su Dong's pass."
Head coach Antonio Pereira, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Although he has always been mistaken for being a figurehead, Pereira still has vision.
Matelo nodded repeatedly, "Yes, only by contributing to the team and helping his teammates to perform better can he gain recognition and support so quickly. Fighting alone will not work on the football field."
"He has really changed a lot from before. He is no longer the Su Dong we remembered." Canelas exclaimed.
Everyone nodded in unison again.
Today's Su Dong is still a little childish and still looks familiar, but his playing style and demeanor are completely different from half a year ago. It can be seen that he has made great progress in the past six months.
While everyone was talking, head coach Gorba kept looking at the court with a smile on his face.
He didn't say anything, but he was very happy in his heart.
The better Su Dong performs, the better it will be for Sporting CP.
In fact, he could fully foresee that as long as Su Dong could gain a foothold in Sporting Lisbon, more young players would come to the youth training camp and training classes of Sporting CP in the future.
This is how European football works.
Su, you must succeed!
…
Just as Gorba was shouting in his heart, Sudong once again cooperated with Quaresma on the right on the field.
After Su Dong got the ball, he kicked it behind the defense line.
Quaresma sprinted quickly along the right, while Sudong himself also sprinted forward at the fastest speed.
The talented winger was clamped by the defenders, but still managed to send a high ball diagonally to the front point.
Su Dong was very fast and jumped high in the right corner of the penalty area, but unfortunately, he ran too far and was caught in the best position by Carvalho, so he failed to get a header.
This made Su Dong in the stadium look very regretful, and he was so angry that he grabbed his head and roared on the spot.
"Sporting Lisbon's offensive tasks are basically all invested in Su Dong. This is certainly a kind of trust, but it is also a pressure, because it is difficult for Su Dong to complete the work of several people alone."
"Just now, Jardel was basically not involved. He was always running around looking for opportunities and waiting for his teammates to pass the ball."
"He is a keen opportunist with an excellent ability to seize opportunities, but his tactical role does need to be improved."
"If he could have worked together with Su Dong just now, perhaps Sporting Lisbon's counterattack would have been more impressive."
The analysis of the commentator of Bora TV made the situation on the field clear.
But everyone knows that this is something that is difficult to change.
Sudong is a rookie who can make Quaresma listen to him, but he can't convince Jardel.
Unless Jardel himself is willing to cooperate with him.
…
…
Jardel walked out of Porto's penalty area and slowly walked back.
In front of him, his teammates were already quickly returning to defense.
There is no need to return to defense, which is his privilege as the team's top scorer.
All he needs to do now is to recover some strength and prepare for the next round of sprint.
But just now, he heard Su Dong's roar, and even in the crowded stadium, he could still hear it very clearly.
Su Dong was not complaining about anyone, but rather about himself.
But the experienced Jadel knew in his heart that Su Dong had done enough and well enough.
No one could ask him to sprint from the front of the 30-meter area to the outside of the penalty area in such a short time, surpass Carvalho in the fight for position, and then head the ball into the penalty area to create an opportunity for Jardel.
This is unrealistic!
Su Dong is fast enough, hardworking enough, and fierce enough!
But Carvalho's defense was flawless and he didn't leave him any chance.
As he was walking back, Jardel looked up and saw Su Dong actively returning to defense.
Looking at the young Su Dong, it was as if I saw myself when I was young, full of energy and vigor.
Suddenly, Jardel realized that he was old.
He was only 29 years old, but he seemed to have lost the motivation to pursue his goals.
His only thought now is to prove himself in the four major leagues.
In the Portuguese Super League, he no longer needs to prove anything to anyone.
He, Jardel, is the super scoring champion in the Portuguese Super League!
…
"Wait a minute, I'll go to the front and you go to the back."
Near the center line, Jadel met Su Dong and spoke softly.
Su Dong stopped unexpectedly and looked at Jadel with a puzzled look on his face.
"Don't think of carrying the attack alone and acting like a hero, kid, you're not that good enough!" Jadel's mouth corners slightly raised.
Su Dong felt warm in his heart, he understood what Jadel meant.
"You'd better run faster, my ball won't wait for anyone." Jardel smiled rather proudly.
Su Dong also smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely shoot the ball you pass!"
Jadel smiled and nodded, as if to say, that's more like it!
…
The game went back and forth near the midline.
Porto's midfield advantage is very obvious, and Deco plays a very important role.
This versatile midfielder has shown amazing energy in the attacking midfielder position. He can always create threatening balls in places that others would never expect, which makes Sporting Lisbon's defense exhausted.
Almost everyone concluded that as long as Sporting Lisbon continued to play like this, it was only a matter of time before they conceded a goal.
Facing a team like Porto and losing the ball first is extremely scary.
Head coach Boloni no longer had the ease he had at the start of the game, because he knew that Sporting Lisbon's counterattack was not going well.
He knew what the problem was, but he couldn't say it.
Nowadays, Jardel even has to support his head coach.
That's how football is, the head coach needs players to play for him, especially the best players like Jardel.
But then, Sporting Lisbon launched another attack.
This time it was João Pinto on the left who got the ball, pushed it past the center line, and then passed it back to the midfield for organization.
Porto did not retreat and still held on near the center line, trying to block this attack from Sporting Lisbon.
Su Dong once again moved to the outside of the 30-meter area and raised his hand to ask for the ball. He was still close to Swedish midfielder Soderstrom.
He was smart and knew that the Swedish midfielder had a yellow card in hand, so his defense would inevitably be restricted.
Sure enough, Su Dong retreated and received the ball with his back, but Soderstrom just held him from behind and prevented him from turning around.
But Su Dong quickly transferred the ball to the right.
Quaresma once again rushed forward quickly along the right side. After receiving the ball, without waiting for the defensive players to approach, he glanced at the penalty area and his eyes flashed with a strange color.
Because he saw that Jardel actually ran to the outside right corner of the penalty area and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
what happened?
What about Su Dong?
