Sixty-Four Debut

"The biggest problem with Sporting Lisbon is the lack of a fulcrum to get the ball up front, especially from behind."

Luis Suarez saw through the most essential crux of Sporting Lisbon's attack at a glance.

"Without having the ball behind their backs, all players can only play their role in the direction of the goal. Once the wing is unfavorable, the whole attack will be greatly reduced. This is why Sporting Lisbon performed poorly in the European competition."

Speaking of this, Luis Suarez shifted his attention slightly and looked at the visiting team's bench.

Although he could only see the ceiling, he seemed to be able to see Su Dong sitting inside.

"Does Boloni have such courage?"

Luis Suarez is very confused, because it is a very difficult choice to be himself.

Su Dong is too young and has never played in the first team. Is it possible to replace him at this time?

There are still 40 minutes in the game. If he goes up and plays abnormally, it will not only be a waste of a substitution opportunity for the team, but also tantamount to losing an arm in the game.

"Is there no one else? For example Ronnie." Scout Garcia felt very strange.

Luis Suarez shook his head, "Ronnie is also a frontal impact player. He is very fast and explosive, but it is really embarrassing for him to get the ball behind his back. It is estimated that he will do better than Joao. Pinto is worse, not much better than Jardel."

"The most valuable thing about Su Dong is that there are too few centers like him. He should be the tactical fulcrum of the team's frontcourt and the core of the attack. Even if he scores few goals, he is equally valuable. ."

Garcia did not expect that Suarez's evaluation of Su Dong would be so high.

But he has been immersed in European football for many years, and he also knows how difficult it is for Boloni to gamble on a professional rookie like Su Dong at such a critical moment, especially now that the second half has just begun.

"Maybe, we should wait." Garcia analyzed.

Luis Suarez shook his head, "To put it bluntly, the 90-minute football game is a competition for the consumption of the players of the two teams. For a major tactical variable like Su Dong, it should be faster. If you wait until both teams are exhausted, then How much effect can it have if it is replaced?"

"Frankly speaking, Jardel's scoring ability is indeed very strong, but it does not consume much of the two central defenders. It will be more detrimental to Sporting Lisbon if it drags on, and it may even slowly lose the chance to win."

As an experienced player and manager, Luis Suarez has his own unique analysis of football.

The current situation is very clear. Setubal leads two-to-one, aiming for stability. Sporting Lisbon is behind and must try his best to fight for three points, so he must take the initiative to change.

Sudong is the only player in Boloni's hands who has the potential to change the game.

The only question is, when does Boloni plan to switch?

Just as Suarez was guessing, Boloni moved on the sidelines.

"This kid is still a bit brave."

"Su!"

Boloni turned back and shouted hard at the bench.

Only he himself knew how much energy and embarrassment he used to shout this.

Before his butt was hot, Su Dong quickly jumped up from the bench again, and in the envious eyes of Ronnie and others, he quickly ran to the side of head coach Boloni.

"Can I play?" Boloni asked.

Su Dong took a deep breath and nodded, "Any time, sir."

"Have you seen that Paolo Ferreira?" Boloni asked again.

"He pressed ahead in the second half."

"Because he knows that none of our players can hold the ball under his close combat." Boloni said fiercely.

how pitiful it is,

What an annoying thing.

But in fact, this is precisely the sadness of many mid- and lower-level teams, because they simply do not have the huge talent pool of the giants, nor can they collect such a variety of different types of players.

So many times, they can only watch the team lose.

It's not that they don't know how to win, it's that they can't win.

"Your task is to hold the ball in the left half of the frontcourt after you are on the court, and give full play to your characteristics. You can either take the ball from the front or take the ball from your back. The point is, you have to work hard to hold the ball and understand. ?"

Boloni's words were very forceful, almost gnashing his teeth.

Putting on Su Dong, he made an unprecedented gamble.

Especially when the second half has just started.

"I understand." Su Dong didn't say anything, but nodded heavily.

...

Su Dong walked back, taking off his coat as he walked.

He kept taking deep breaths, adjusting his inner mood swings, trying to calm himself down.

He tried to convince himself that it was just a simple league game, as in second-team games and first-team training.

But in fact, this is self-deception.

"How's it going? Going up?" Ronnie greeted him with envy in his eyes.

Su Dong nodded, "I can't open the situation, he wants me to go up and catch the ball."

"This is what you are best at, isn't it?" Ronnie took over Su Dong's jacket with a smile, "Don't be nervous, after you go up, just kick as hard as you can. No one will tell you if you are good or bad."

Su Dong smiled slightly, but shook his head and said, "No, I want to show my best side."

He straightened his back and turned his head to look at the court, "Because I can't be sure, if this game doesn't go well, when will the next opportunity wait, so I won't let it miss it!"

In the end, his expression became extremely determined.

At this moment, he no longer cares about nervousness and anxiety, and no longer doubts himself.

He only had one thought, and that was to play and give full play to his strength.

Let the head coach, let the teammates, let the opponent, let everyone see him!

…………

…………

"It's 50 minutes and Sporting Lisbon still hasn't been able to make a threat."

"From the second half until now, they haven't even had a chance to threaten the opponent's penalty area."

"Boloni on the sidelines was in a hurry and looked like he was going to make a substitution."

"Player No. 36, replaced No. 3 Rui Bento."

"Let me see, the No. 36 player is Su Dong, a Chinese player who has just joined the team during the winter break. It is said that he performed well in the second team. He is only seventeen years old. This is also his first time representing Lisbon. Competitive play."

"Boloni replaced a 17-year-old teenager when the team was unable to open the situation. Is he making a big gamble?"

"We don't have any information about Su Dong at the moment, we only know that he performed well in the second team and is a center."

"Look at Su Dong who is standing on the sidelines. His height is okay, but he is a little thin."

"We replaced Rui Bento with a teenager. What will Sporting Lisbon do next?"

...

Captain Barbosa ran to the sidelines, listened to the coach's arrangements, and made adjustments immediately after returning to the court.

Jardel is still at the top. He is currently the player who can suppress the opponent's central defender in Sporting Lisbon.

Su Dong played on the left wing, Quaresma played on the right wing, Joao Pinto returned to his best attacking midfielder position, and Barbosa and Paulo Bento formed a double midfielder.

Sporting Lisbon adopted a more pressing attacking tactic.

...

Paul Ferreira looked at Su Dong who ran into the pitch with a frown.

So high!

Although he was about 1.8 meters tall, Su Dong was more than half a head taller than him.

His legs looked slender, and when he ran into the court, Ferreira also noticed that he was very agile and looked different from those tall, awkward players.

Just a little thinner.

Observing this, Ferreira turned to look at the coach Campos on the sidelines, wanting to get some signals from the coach.

Campos also noticed the substitution of Sporting Lisbon, but they didn't know much about Sudong.

According to initial impressions, Campos gave Ferreira an order to strangle him.

Although he was only twenty-three years old, Ferreira was very experienced, and immediately decided to give Su Dong a blow.

As for young players, you just can't let them do whatever they want, you have to curb their performance from the beginning.

After a blow to the head, they are often easily out of balance.

Thinking of this, Paulo Ferreira suddenly looked at Su Dong with malicious eyes, thinking to himself: Unlucky little brat, don't blame me, who made you so unfortunate?

...

Once again the attacking organization was frustrated and forced to pass back through the center line.

Sporting Lisbon resumed their next attack at the back.

This has become the norm in the game, I don't know how many times it has happened.

The Setubal fans in the stands all booed, apparently thinking that Sporting Lisbon was too timid.

Is this the style a strong team should have?

When the ball came to Andre Cruz's feet, the Sporting Lisbon defender stopped the ball and looked up.

Su Dong saw the difficulty of playing the ball in the midfield and backcourt, looked around, saw the problem immediately, and ran back immediately.

Andre Cruz saw Su Dong, immediately passed to the left, and shouted at Rui Jorge.

After the left back stopped the ball, he took two steps forward, just as Su Dong came to the center line and immediately made a straight pass.

The pass was quick, but accurate.

Before playing just now, Su Dong drank three bottles of potions, Swiftness, Titan and Energy, which temporarily improved his ability and made him more confident.

Fighting with full buffs and making his first-team debut, he became extremely excited.

Facing Rui Jorge's pass, Su Dong not only judged the coming of the ball, but also felt the threat from behind him.

The malicious Paul Ferreira also retreated with him, and when he turned his back to stop the ball, the whole person accelerated to catch up from behind, and the whole person directly hit Su Dong's back.

In Ferreira's opinion, the thin Su Dong should have been knocked away by him at once.

After all, he was only seventeen.

If it was an African player, Ferreira would still be a little afraid, but Su Dong's body is obviously not strong.

Facts have also proved that Su Dong's body is indeed not dominant.

Boloni told him to avoid the middle and play Ferreira's side, just to consider his body.

When Su Dong concentrated his attention and controlled his right foot to stop Rui Jorge's direct pass, Paul Ferreira suddenly bumped up from behind. Although Su Dong was prepared, he still stumbled. Fall forward.
