October 3rd, the second leg of the first knockout round of the UEFA Cup.
Sporting Lisbon faces Partizan Belgrade away from home.
This is the first time Su Dong has played in the UEFA Cup in his career, which makes him very excited.
As soon as the game started, he dropped back to catch the ball, turned around and got rid of it, dribbling the ball to the front of the opponent's penalty area, and fired a furious shot, threatening the opponent's goal and giving Sporting Lisbon the lead.
This kind of individual running the ball over long distances and attending meetings alone is a great boost to morale.
Subsequently, Sporting Lisbon turned away and launched a fierce attack on Partizan Belgrade.
Ronnie, Sudong and Quaresma in the frontcourt formed a trident, taking turns to attack Partizan Belgrade's back line.
In the midfield, Tonito served as the attacking midfielder, responsible for delivering cannonballs to his teammates in the frontcourt. Barbosa and Rodrigo Tello were separated on both sides, and Albertini trailed behind to form a small diamond midfield.
Three, four, three, Boloni showed determination to attack to the end in the away game.
After a two-game draw at home and conceding two away goals to their opponents, Sporting Lisbon could only sink their boats.
Su Dong was particularly active.
In addition to the opening shot, he then began to continuously create opportunities for the team, connecting the two wings of Ronnie and Quaresma, connecting with Tonito behind him, and connecting the frontcourt offense.
.
This gave Sporting Lisbon a surge of offensive power after the game started.
In the twelfth minute, Su Dong suddenly pulled to the left wing. After receiving Ronnie's pass, he turned around and dribbled the ball along the left wing. After penetrating two opponent's defensive players in one breath, he cut inside with the ball and diagonally
Killed diagonally towards the penalty area.
Central defender Milan Stojanovic faced the fast-moving Su Dong who was approaching with the ball and had no way to retreat.
When he tried to step forward to intercept Su Dong, Su Dong kicked him in the crotch.
The ball passed under Stojanovic's crotch, and Su Dong quickly passed by him.
When Su Dong was about to leave, Stojanovic took action decisively and grabbed the jersey on Su Dong's chest.
…
"Beep!!!!"
"The referee Fritz Sturrick from Austria blew the whistle."
"Milan Stojanovic committed a foul and was shown a yellow card by Sturrick."
"Judging from the slow-motion replay, this is an indisputable penalty."
"At that time, Sudong had already broken through Stojanovic's defense, but the center back of Partizan Belgrade made a move and committed a foul."
"Stojanovic should thank his partner Savic. If Savic had not returned to the deepest position in time, he would have been the last defensive player. This would not have been just a yellow card."
"The 18-year-old young player from China, the little god of war Su Dong, performed very well tonight."
"His speed was clearly reflected in this attack on the wing."
"Look at Sporting Lisbon's set-piece coordination this time."
…
When Tonito walked to the penalty spot and was about to take the free kick, Albertini and Barbosa also came over.
The three of them gathered together and muttered for a while. It was not until the other side's wall was set up that Barbosa left.
Albertini and Tonito stood side by side, making it unclear who was taking the penalty.
Among the crowd in front, Su Dong, who was 1.95 meters tall, stood out from the crowd, being much taller than the others around him. This also made him a key target for the guerrillas' defense.
Although Su Dong has never scored a header, with his height, it goes without saying that he is intimidating.
Ronnie, Pepe and Andre Cruz were also among the crowd.
Before the kick-off, Ronnie walked up to Su Dong and whispered: "I just told Pepe and Andre that you invite us to have a meal in Romario and we will help you create opportunities.
."
Su Dong raised his eyes, "You kid... can you use this to negotiate business?"
"It's necessary." Ronnie laughed confidently, "As you said, brothers will settle the score, not to mention we are not even close."
Su Dong was speechless.
"Hurry up, it's about to start."
"Okay, if you succeed, I'll treat you, but you'd better remember it for me." Su Dong threatened.
Ronnie grinned widely, he didn't care about the threat from Su Dong.
Soon, Ronnie winked at Pepe and Andre Cruz, and they understood each other tacitly.
…
The wall was set up, and Tonito and Albertini were preparing to run.
The atmosphere inside and outside the stadium tightened, as if even the air had solidified.
When the two Sporting Lisbon penalty kickers started running, the offensive players also started running.
The person responsible for guarding Su Dong was Savage, the tallest central defender of the guerrilla team. He was originally holding on to Su Dong's jersey. When Su Dong started running, he also wanted to follow him, but he was stopped by a full-back player midway.
The evil man with curly hair and a fleshy face was blocked hard, and the jersey in his hand slipped.
Oops! It's a pick-and-roll!
Several other guerrilla players were in the same situation. Only the short Milan Stojanovic reacted. He was responsible for filling in and rushed towards Su Dong immediately.
At the penalty spot, Tonito ran over quickly but did not touch the ball. Albertini followed up and kicked the ball directly.
The ball quickly climbed up and flew straight into the penalty area.
While Su Dong was watching the flying ball, he was judging the landing point. At the same time, he also noticed Stoyanovic who was closely guarding him, and smiled secretly in his heart.
This kid is really unlucky!
When the ball flew into the penalty area, it suddenly dropped and was extremely fast, which caused many people to make misjudgments.
But Su Dong was already in place, leaping high into the air.
Next to him, Stojanovic had just reached his position. Before he could take off, he saw Su Dong jumping up. It felt like a skyscraper suddenly rose up from the ground, and then jumped up again.
It seemed as if a towering mountain was collapsing towards him, which gave him a sense of awe in his heart.

Su Dong didn't pay attention to what the defensive player next to him was thinking. After he jumped up high, he clearly saw the ball flying towards him. He exerted all his strength on his waist and abdomen, pushed his head forward hard, and hit the ball directly.
The football flew over.
After the ball received force, it immediately changed its original flight trajectory and went directly into the goal not far away.
Goalkeeper Latisha Ilic swooped in sideways, extending his arms as much as possible, but was still out of reach.
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!!"
“In the 13th minute, Sporting Lisbon’s talented young player Su Dong scored with a header, opening the scoring for the team!”
As soon as Su Dong landed, he ignored the stunned Stojanovic beside him, turned around and rushed out of the stadium, running wildly, shouting and celebrating his goal.
Behind him, his teammates rushed to catch up one after another.
"This is a set piece from Sporting Lisbon."
"Albertini kicked a very high-level penalty kick. Su Dong in the penalty area was like a god descending from heaven. He hit the goal with a header from close range. This was his second UEFA Cup goal this season."
"At the same time, this is also his first header."
"It's really surprising."
"You can see from the slow-motion replay that Sporting Lisbon played the set piece very cleverly. Both Pepe and Ronnie participated in the pick-and-roll, which created opportunities for Su Dong."
"Su Dong's header was also very beautiful this time. It jumped very high. Stojanovic beside him was stunned and unable to stop it. He could only watch helplessly as he scored with a header."
"He is indeed the little God of War!"
"This Su Dong is really unstoppable!"
…
After Sudong opened the scoring, Sporting Lisbon's offensive kicked even harder.
The first half ended with Sporting Lisbon leading by one goal.
But in the second half, the sides changed sides and the battle resumed. Not long after, Su Dong created another opportunity at the front of the penalty area. He turned back and got the ball back. Tonito sent a diagonal pass to the right. Quaresma got the ball and threw it away.
The defensive player hit the goal with an outside instep.
The ball hit the net!
Two to zero!
Sporting Lisbon's talented winger finally hit his signature outside-instep volley!
You know, what Quaresma practices most often is the outside instep volley.
He scored two goals in a row and took the lead. At the same time, he reversed the decline in the first round. The whole situation was great.
But Sporting Lisbon coach Boloni insisted on creating some surprises.
In the 74th minute, he replaced two players in one go.
Niculai replaced Sudong and Rui Bento replaced Ronnie.
The former is a matchup substitution, and the latter is to strengthen the midfield defense.
As a result, just four minutes after the substitution, Partizan Belgrade pulled a goal back, and the game was once again full of suspense.
Then the home team launched an almost crazy offensive against Sporting Lisbon, especially in the 80th minute, with continuous substitutions to strengthen the attack. Tubakovich obviously wanted to score another goal.
But in the 82nd minute, Quaresma returned the favor and took advantage of a quick counterattack to assist Tonito to score near the penalty spot in the penalty area, sealing the victory for Sporting Lisbon.
This goal also completely sentenced Partizan Belgrade to death.
Two to two at home and three to one away from home. According to the away goal rule, even if Partizan Belgrade scores two goals in a row, Sporting Lisbon can advance on away goals.
In less than ten minutes, three goals were scored. Is this possible?
Even the Belgrade Partisans themselves find it unrealistic.
In the end, Sporting Lisbon defeated its opponent 3-1 and advanced to the second knockout round of the UEFA Cup with a total score of 5-3.
But for Bologna, this is obviously not a good result.
Nikolai's performance was still sluggish when he came on the field. More importantly, without this substitution, it would have been difficult for the guerrillas to score the goal. Would the game have less twists and turns?
More importantly, everyone in the locker room clearly saw that Boloni was still doing everything possible to create opportunities for Nikolai.
Every head coach will have his own hiring preferences, which is normal.
But is it really just because Boloni trusts Niculai so much that he likes players like Niculai?
