At the 70th minute, no more time, no less time, Su Dong slowly walked to the sidelines.
At this moment, Sporting Lisbon fans at the Alvalade Stadium have already received the news.
It’s finally time to change!
Su Dong, the little god of war who repeatedly stepped forward to save the team at critical moments last season, is finally going to play again.
No one knows what exactly happened in the locker room, and the media outside are also chasing rumors and rumors, but one thing is certain, that is, Su Dong has not played so far this season.
This is his first show of the new season!
This makes Sporting Lisbon fans full of expectations.
They expect Su Dong to inject fresh blood into the dull Sporting Lisbon like he did last season.
In the stands, sitting among the fans, Jorge Mendes is also looking forward to it.
"It's finally time!" Mendes' voice was a little nervous.
Jorge Manuel also looked solemn, "Can he really do it?"
They all knew exactly what Su Dong did in order to be able to play.
To put it lightly, he took the initiative to ask for playing time; to put it more seriously, he took the lead in forcing the head coach.
How to distinguish the severity depends on Su Dong's performance in the next game.
"Jorge, we are agents, not gods. Our mission is to help players and serve them well, so our creed should be that we must trust our players at any time."
Mendes looked firmly at Su Dong who walked to the sidelines and waited for the substitution. He was still wearing jersey number 36.
"Su Dong made a brave choice. All we need to do is support him and handle everything for him to the best of our ability, including his future situation in the team after tonight's bad performance."
"So, you have a dinner date with Aurelio Pereira?"
Mendes chuckled and said, "No matter how you perform tonight, this meal will be very meaningful."
If the performance is good, of course it is just a rush, but if the performance is average, then Aurelio can completely mediate. Even if the performance is very bad, there is a completely different explanation to avoid coach Boloni taking the opportunity to suppress.
This is what a broker should do.
As for what's on the court, just leave it to the players.
"Don't worry, he has been preparing for today for a long time, and you may not have noticed."
"What should you pay attention to?" Jorge Manuel was a little surprised.
Mendes smiled slightly and said, "Today is his birthday."
…………
…………
September 13th is Su Dong’s birthday.
Su Dong stood on the edge of the court, took a deep breath, and tried to adjust his breathing.
The benefits of learning yoga are evident. He can easily make his breathing smooth and smooth, and at the same time throw away all distracting thoughts in his mind and focus on the game.
On the sidelines, the fourth official held up his number plate.
No. 36 Su Dong replaced No. 7 Nikolai.
This is the first time this season that the Romanian center has been substituted.
In the stands, there was a burst of warm applause from Sporting Lisbon fans. It was obvious that they had endured Nikule's disastrous performance for a long time.
If Jadel hadn't left, they would have shouted Jadel's name.
Nikolai walked to the sidelines very frustrated.
He failed in his performance. This was not the first time, and it probably won't be the last time.
He works very hard to express himself, but the people around him don't cooperate with him at all.
This made him feel very annoyed, but also helpless.
He felt isolated.
Except for coach Boloni, no one in the team seems to trust him.
If you replace yourself and replace yourself with a young general, will the situation get better?
Nikolai snorted coldly. He didn't think a seventeen-year-old boy could change anything.
Therefore, when he walked off the field, he didn't even want to give Su Dong a high-five and just walked past him.
Su Dong was originally planning to give him a polite high-five and a hug, but he was let go and felt a little annoyed.
"Just sit on the sidelines and watch carefully!" Su Dong said.
Nikolai suddenly stopped and his face became angry. Isn't this kid too arrogant?
But he forgot that ignoring Su Dong when leaving the field was also quite impolite in itself.
…
Su Dong's first step into the court was a sprint and he quickly rushed to the frontcourt.
He didn't rush with all his strength, he just wanted to find the feeling of sprinting.
"Yeah! Su, come on!"
Ronnie, who had just replaced Tonito, shouted excitedly.
Su Dong raised his right fist high, looking very confident.
Captain Barbosa, veteran Albertini, Andre Cruz, and even Quaresma, who was boring on the right, all gestured towards Su Dong from a distance or shouted encouragement.
"Come on! Come on! Pass the ball to me!" Su Dong shouted with all his strength.
…
The first touch of the ball after coming on the field occurred less than a minute later.
Sporting Lisbon made a clearance in the penalty area and kicked directly near the midline.
Sudong retreated into his own half and used his body to block Santa Clara's deep-lying midfielder Parva.
Parva desperately tried to squeeze Su Dong away from behind, but found that he couldn't do it at all.
After suppressing Parva with his body, Su Dong stopped the ball with his chest. He turned around calmly and poked the ball with his foot. He accelerated and his legs burst out with amazing power. In an instant, he swept away the ball.
Passed Parva.
His special training throughout the summer finally showed results at this moment.
After passing through Parva, Su Dong strode straight to the Santa Clara penalty area with the ball, quickly forming a three-on-four situation in the frontcourt.
Su Dong dribbled the ball wildly in the middle, and Ronnie and Quaresma, one on the left and one on the right, advanced in tandem.
This scene made Sporting Lisbon fans in the stands scream in surprise.
"Sporting Lisbon's most threatening attack since this game, look at how Su Dong passes the ball."
"Su Dong used his dribbling to attract two defensive players and passed the ball diagonally behind him on the right side."
"Quaresma comes up and hits the door directly!"
"Goalkeeper Jorge Silva has made a great contribution!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Santa Clara's goalkeeper saved Quaresma's one-on-one goal at the critical moment."
"But Sporting Lisbon's attack was very beautiful!"
"Su Dong is indeed a key player in Sporting Lisbon. After coming on as a substitute, he planned a beautiful counterattack with his first touch of the ball, which put Santa Clara's goal in danger."
…
Amid the cheers from the entire audience, Nikolai's face turned gloomy to the extreme.
He felt as if he had been slapped hard.
But he didn't think it was because Su Dong was stronger than him.
"Why did these guys in Santa Clara act so difficult just now, and now they are deliberately letting things go?"
"And Quaresma, he has always been unwilling to cooperate with me, but now he takes the initiative to get close to Su Dong. Why?"
Nikolai wanted to rush onto the court and ask them questions, but he couldn't.
He could only sit on the bench and watch the game coldly.
Also on pins and needles was Boloni in the home team's coaching bench. He was also in an embarrassing situation.
From a professional point of view, Su Dong's ability and tactical effect after coming on as a substitute are really eye-catching.
Even the most ordinary fans can see this.
Boloni was happy that Su Dong had changed the situation after he came on the field, but on the one hand, he was worried about what would happen next.
He wants to win, but is afraid of winning. He is very torn!
…
Santa Clara once again attacked Sporting Lisbon's penalty area.
Portuguese Super League teams still attach great importance to offense.
But this time the attack was intercepted by Andre Cruz. Albertini made a long pass from the right side of the penalty area and sent the ball across the center line and directly towards the back of Santa Clara.
Line of defense.
Near the center line, Su Dong sprinted forward like a sharp arrow.
Responsible for marking him is Santa Clara defense core Sergio Nunes.
This central defender who has played for Benfica and Porto has the quickest reaction and is a typical Portuguese central defender. He is 1.84 meters tall, but he is very fast and has a very flexible body. He was the first to stop Su Dong and catch up.
The ball landed and went away.
In his impression, as long as he blocked Su Dong and quickly passed the ball back to the goalkeeper, he would be safe.
After the two of them crossed the center line, they advanced together.
Seeing that he was about to miss the perfect opportunity, a thought flashed through Su Dong's mind.
Knock him away with your body!
This definitely comes from Vieri's [Indestructible] consciousness, full of domineering power.
Su Dong almost without thinking, while running fast, bullied Nunes with his body, and bumped Nunes hard with his shoulder.
The Portuguese central defender staggered and his steps were messed up, but he still stopped in front of Su Dong.
Su Dong reacted faster, and with a lunge, he penetrated from the left side of Nunes, squeezed Nunes away with his shoulder, and took the first step to poke the ball towards his side with his right foot.
As a result, the situation is reversed.
Nunes, who originally had an advantageous position, was at a disadvantage.
But the Portuguese central defender was also a thief. He directly reached out and grabbed Su Dong's right hand and refused to let go, trying desperately to entangle Su Dong.
Su Dong tried his best to increase the speed, but his right hand was tightly held. He had no choice but to drag Nunes forward. This situation was very similar to Nuno Cruz's design for Su Dong.
a training program.
And Sudong really dragged Nunes forward and sprinted a few steps before sending a diagonal pass with his left foot.
The ball slid to the left side of the penalty area.
A green lightning bolt quickly penetrated the penalty area, and Ronnie rushed to it.
Once you stop, hit again!
The ball is scored!!!!
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!"
"In the 74th minute, Sporting Lisbon successfully equalized the score!"
"A crucial goal from Cristiano Ronaldo!"
The Madeira boy roared excitedly, turned around and rushed to the sidelines, jumped directly onto the billboard, and roared crazily at the fans in the stands.
Su Dong let go of Nunes's hand, quickly rushed to the sidelines, and hugged Ronnie forcefully.
Ronnie is really fast.
In Nuno Cruz's words, this is a talent given to him by his ancestors' African descent.
At this moment, Ronnie vigorously pulled up his jersey in front of all the fans in the audience.
The white vest inside didn't have his love for Jordana written on it, but a piece of cake with the number eighteen on it.
"Happy birthday, brother!"
"Happy birthday!"
Sporting Lisbon players who ran over to celebrate the goal also came forward to congratulate him.
