Sporting Lisbon's Romanian coach Boloni is a very serious person and has always been calm in his tactics.
Facing Porto at home in the first round of the league, he did not dare to be careless at all, and arranged the most popular double midfielder formation of 4, 2, 3, 1, hid the newly joined top scorer Jardel, and let Nikule play as center.
This is seeking stability.
On the contrary, Porto led by Machado performed very actively in the away game, forming a four-three-three formation, with top scorer Pena, Postiga and Nuno Cappuccio forming a trident, showing their offensive firepower.
of absolute confidence.
After all, they are mortal rivals in the Portuguese Super League, and the showdown between the two teams was very heated from the very beginning.
…
After the game started, everyone focused on the court.
Watching football live and watching it live on TV are two completely different experiences. To a certain extent, the eyes can capture fewer details. There is neither replay nor slow-motion footage. Everything is fleeting.
fleeting.
But without the isolation of live TV cameras, when watching the game live, you can feel the fast pace of the game. It is very fun, very enjoyable, and very exciting. It is easy to scream out loud from the sudden action of a certain player.
For Ronnie, watching the game on the court, he was more dissatisfied.
But for Su Dong, it was more of a shock and a deep feeling of the gap between himself and professional players.
If nothing else, if he were to play, he would be completely unable to keep up with the rhythm of the game, let alone touch the ball.
"Bologna hides Jardel, which is a big gamble on Nikule." Next to Su Dong, Jose Semedo said loudly.
The scene was so noisy that even if they were sitting very close, if they didn't turn up the volume, they wouldn't be heard at all.
Niculai, like Boloni, is a Romanian and was introduced by coach Boloni.
"Niculai's characteristics are very similar to Jardel. Last season for Dinamo Bucharest, he scored 23 goals in 30 games, including 27 goals in the domestic league and two in the Champions League.
Scoring one goal, two goals in one domestic cup match, very efficient, if he can kick out, Jardel will be very uncomfortable." Semedo analyzed.
Ronnie nodded and said: "This is the club's double insurance. It is said that Jardel does not want to return to Lisbon."
As people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. Jardel is now a famous player in Europe and has received the attention of many wealthy teams including Inter Milan. If it were not for special reasons, he would definitely not want to return to Sporting Lisbon.
Therefore, to a certain extent, Bologna's push to introduce Nikule and entrust the 20-year-old Romanian center with a heavy responsibility in a focus game like Porto in the first round was also to put pressure on Jardel.
But after seeing Nikolai miss a good opportunity, Ronnie shook his head and said: "He is far worse than Jardel."
Maybe it’s a new arrival, maybe I’m not used to it, maybe…
But no matter what, in the warm-up match Rijarder scored goals and was in good form, but Nikolai seemed average.
When the game reached the 22nd minute, right midfielder Ricardo Sa Pinto was injured in a scramble, and the team doctor signaled for a substitution.
When Su Dong saw Sa Pinto being carried off on a stretcher, he immediately turned his attention to Ronnie.
Sure enough, the face of the genius boy from Madeira became very ugly.
The fourth official on the sidelines held up his number plate, and No. 20 Ricardo Quaresma replaced No. 10 Sa Pinto.
There were cheers of encouragement from the fans at Alvalade Stadium.
No Sporting Lisbon fan will be unfamiliar with the star of hope from their youth training, let alone a talent like Quaresma.
Now that Quaresma has made his debut for the first team, he is naturally looking forward to it.
…
Anyone who sees Quaresma playing football for the first time will be amazed and amazed.
This is genius!
Although Su Dong had praised Ronnie before, he really realized it when he saw Quaresma come on the field, carrying the ball on the right wing as if there was no one in the field, and disrupting Porto's entire left wing.
The horror of genius.
Just a few minutes ago, No. 10 player Sa Pinto was restricted by his opponent on the right.
Since Sporting Lisbon has youngster Jorge on the left, its defense is extremely fragile. Therefore, Porto focuses on attacking on the right, while the left is more defensive.
Previously, Sa Pinto's right wing failed to put enough pressure on Porto's left wing, causing the team to be very passive. However, after Quaresma came on the field, the stalemate on the field was completely broken.
Just fifteen minutes later, Porto's single midfielder Costinha received a second yellow card and was sent off with a direct red card.
Porto, who was missing one player, fought hard and changed two players during the halftime break to strengthen the midfield defense.
But as a result, Porto was completely passive.
The young player Quaresma continued to show his bravery in the second half and won the applause of the whole house. It can be said that he became famous in one battle.
It is foreseeable that what will follow will be overwhelming praise from the media and fans, and Quaresma is likely to use this battle to occupy a place in the main lineup of the first team.
Even if he can't play the main role, he will at least become a key player in the first team.
This is professional football!
Years of accumulation on the training field, even ten or twenty years, in the end are just for the brief ninety minutes of flash on the field.
Su Dong envied Quaresma, but more than anything, he admired him.
He deserves it.
There is no room for opportunism in the competition. If your strength is not up to that level, even if the opportunity comes, you will not be able to seize it.
Quaresma is a genius, even more talented than Ronnie.
…
Boloni finally couldn't bear it and replaced Nikolai who frequently missed good opportunities in the 60th minute.
The Romanian center's performance in this game was indeed unsatisfactory and seemed very clumsy. When Quaresma messed up the opponent's defense, he failed to seize the opportunity.
Jardel stood on the sidelines as a matter of course.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The audience burst into thunderous cheers.
Just a year ago, Jardel was the darling of the Portuguese Super League. Although he played for Galatasaray in Turkey in the past year, his legend is still circulating here.
It can be said that Sporting Lisbon's weak offense last season made everyone look forward to Jardel even more.
The Brazilian star did not live up to everyone's expectations. After only nine minutes on the court, he moved forward from the outside of the penalty area, received a pass from forward Joao Pinto, squeezed Andrade away with his body, and kicked hard in the penalty area.
Volleyed and broke Porto's goal.
In an instant, the entire Alvalade Stadium erupted!
Sudong, Ronnie, Semedo, and all the Sporting Lisbon fans rushed out of their seats, shouting loudly at Jardel who was running down the field, and kept chanting his name.
Su Dong, in particular, was so excited that he cheered loudly.
This goal came suddenly, but it was too crucial.
Although Porto lost one player early on, the performance of the two central defenders was very good.
Needless to say, Andrade is the young international center back that Portugal has high hopes for. Although Carvalho performed well last season, he is not well-known. In this game, the two teamed up to completely freeze Niculai.
But Jardel is obviously more impactful and lethal than Nikolai.
His key goal saved Sporting Lisbon at home.
It's not that Andrade and Carvalho are too weak, it's that Jardel is too strong!
Su Dong grasped the railing tightly with both hands, his eyes fixed on the Brazilian striker below who rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, and his ears listened to the deafening shouts from the audience.
More than 50,000 people, all shouting the same name.
Jardel!
The feeling is simply indescribable.
At this moment, Su Dong was like what was said in the history books. When Liu Bang saw Qin Shihuang on patrol, he sincerely admired him.
As a man, you should be like this!
He has a strong desire from the bottom of his heart. He hopes to become a professional player, a professional player like Jardel who can conquer the city for the team and be cheered by the fans in the audience!
This desire is stronger than ever.
He used to like Ronaldo and longed to play like Ronaldo, but that was more of a young boy's fantasy, separated from the TV screen that was out of reach, but tonight, for the first time, he felt this shock and felt the majesty of the scene.
strength.
One goal conquered 50,000 people!
…………
…………
The game ended with Sporting Lisbon beating Porto by one goal.
Jardel came on as a substitute and scored a goal. The rest of the time was restricted by Andrade and Carvalho. These two central defenders are also very strong. Carvalho also won the best player of the game.
Sporting Lisbon also has another player who performed very well, and that is youngster Quaresma.
For him, this game was like coming out of nowhere. His ball-taking and breakthrough on the wing, as well as his dazzling skills, are all amazing, although there are still many things he needs to do in handling the ball and passing the ball.
question, but overall, Quaresma really lives up to his reputation as a genius.
On the contrary, Postiga, opposite Porto, looks a bit bleak compared to Quaresma.
He had to make way for Pena in the middle, which forced him to play in Pena's shadow.
The duel between the two Portuguese geniuses will definitely become the focus of major media reports tomorrow.
When the three people left the Alvalade Stadium with the ebbing tide, Sudong was still immersed in the live game, especially the shock brought by Jardel's goal, while Ronnie looked more indignant.
His mortal enemy entered the first team earlier than him, made his professional debut earlier, and performed very well. On the other hand, he himself is falling behind step by step.
This makes him, who has always been competitive, feel uncomfortable?
The three of them had their own thoughts and said nothing during the whole journey. After returning to the Marquis de Pombal Square, they divided their things.
…
After returning to the dormitory, Su Dong still insisted on physical training.
After practicing for a few days, he can now complete three sets of 40 reps each, which is an improvement over before.
But all he could think about was Jardel's goal just now.
That kind of shock cannot be given by watching live TV. Only by being on site and seeing that scene with your own eyes can you feel the power and shock.
I must become a professional player!
A great professional player like Jader!
