When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the entire Alvalade stadium burst into deafening cheers.
All Sporting Lisbon fans shouted for Su Dong in unison.
The scoreboard showed the final result of this game, two to zero!
With Sudong scoring twice in the first half, Sporting Lisbon defeated the visiting Porto with two goals. The total score was 2-0 and they successfully advanced to the UEFA Cup finals at the Olympic Stadium in Seville, Spain.
How could the fans at the scene not be excited?
You know, as the traditional top three of the Portuguese Super League, Porto and Benfica have won many European championships.
Needless to say, Benfica won two Champions Leagues in the early 1960s, reached the Champions League finals five times, and reached the UEFA Cup final once. These are all heavy achievements. Porto is slightly inferior, but it also has a Champions League and a European Cup.
The Super Cup and Toyota Cup rank second among the top three in the Portuguese Super League.
Only Sporting Lisbon has only one European Cup Winners' Cup in history, and it was only 40 years ago when the Cup Winners' Cup was first created and its gold content was obviously not very high.
The lack of results in the European war is also the doubt of Sporting Lisbon from the outside world, and it is the heart knot of Sporting Lisbon fans.
Now, the team has reached the UEFA Cup final, which makes fans full of expectations.
After 40 years, things have changed, and it should be Sporting Lisbon’s turn, right?
And Su Dong in the stadium was the number one contributor in leading this team to the UEFA Cup final. Naturally, he received fanatical support from Sporting Lisbon fans, and the cheers were loud.
…
After Sudong celebrated with high fives with Ronny, Quaresma, Pepe and others, he went to the stadium stands under the leadership of captain Barbosa to thank all the fans who came to the scene and dedicated 90 minutes to the team.
of cheers.
Defeating Porto and advancing to the UEFA Cup final, everyone is proud!
Especially when the players came to the sidelines and bowed to thank, the fans in the stands shouted "Champion!"
This is what is expected of the players!
Head to Sevilla and take back the UEFA Cup!
Su Dong did not have an intuitive understanding of the fans' mood and feelings. He was more excited.
I have to say that the power exerted by Maradona's [God's Left Foot] surprised him.
After all, it is the ability card of the ball king, which is extraordinary.
Of course, this is also related to the ability of Su Dong's left foot reaching 15 points. I believe that if he continues to practice diligently and continue to improve the proficiency of his left foot, the power of Su Dong's left foot will continue to improve, and his strength will also rise to the next level.
Floors.
…
"You boy!"
Deco came over and punched Pepe directly in the chest.
In this game, Pepe performed very well and blocked Deco's performance many times. Especially in the second half, Deco got an opportunity to hit an empty goal. It was Pepe who came to the rescue on the goal line and saved Sporting Lisbon.
.
Although it was Su Dong who was elected the best player of the match in the end, Pepe played a huge role.
After losing the right to advance to the UEFA Cup, Deco seemed a little depressed, but he was not too disappointed.
He is already a very mature professional player. He treats winning and losing and controls his emotions very well.
After chatting with Pepe for a few words, Deco walked towards Su Dong, with a helpless smile on his face, and asked complainingly, "Do you really hate our Porto so much?"
Su Dong smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking it with Deco, "It is my duty to score goals!"
Faced with this kind of universal answer, Deco was speechless, but he had to admit, "Your performance tonight was really great. I don't know how many scouts from big teams are staring at you in the stands."
It’s going to be popular!”
Su Dong raised his head, glanced at the surrounding stands, smiled and shook his head, "I didn't think about being too hot or not. I wanted to play football with peace of mind and continue to improve my strength. I feel like I'm not strong enough yet."
Deke was a little surprised. He didn't expect Su Dong to have such mature ideas.
He is now twenty-five years old. He has played professional football for so many years, experienced ups and downs, and experienced many coaches. It is normal for his thoughts to mature, but Su Dong is only eighteen years old.
"No matter what, I hope I can fight alongside you in the new season!" Deco hugged Su Dong politely.
Deco left, but Carvalho came.
The central defender was tormented by Su Dong a lot in this game. Apart from Ferreira, the unluckiest daughter-in-law, Carvalho also suffered the most, which made him look at Su Dong with resentment in his eyes.
"Tell me frankly, during the first round, did you deliberately hide your left foot and not use it?" Carvalho was worried.
Su Dong was stunned, "Why do you think so?"
"Did you really practice this week?"
"Of course not. I have been practicing with my left foot for the past two years, but I was never used to using it before."
It took practice, but in his heart, Su Dong was still a right-footed player. It wasn't until he got Maradona's [God's Left Foot] that he was truly considered a two-footed player.
"Then what?" Carvalho asked concerned.
Su Dong thought for a while and said, "I've been very aggressive this week, and I have some insights and breakthroughs."
Carvalho was even more devastated.
The Portuguese central defender automatically thought about the causes and consequences of Su Dong's words, and came to the conclusion that Su Dong had never thought of using his left foot before, but after being blocked from heading the ball with his right foot, he began to consciously use his left foot. As a result,
Just scored twice.
Damn it, isn't this so disappointing?
"If you don't come to Porto this summer, I won't be done with you!"
After Carvalho said a harsh word, he left directly.
On the contrary, Su Dong was a little surprised. Why did everyone feel that they had to go to Porto?
"It's very simple. Porto is rich and powerful. If Chairman Costa takes action personally, almost no one will refuse." Ronnie answered Su Dong's question.
"real or fake?"
Ronny smiled and said, "You don't know the status and influence of the chairman of Porto in Portuguese football. There is news that it was Mourinho who arranged for Mourinho to coach Leiria, and as early as coaching
Before Leiria, he had promised Mourinho to take over Porto in the future."
"So, you see, as soon as Machado gets out of class, Mourinho will automatically take over. Everyone knows this."
Su Dong thought about it and felt it made sense.
The Portuguese Super League is actually not as orderly as it appears from the outside. There are actually many hidden rules and dark sides. There have been constant scandals in recent years. However, as a professional player, Su Dong only needs to concentrate on playing football and nothing else.
Need to participate.
"If possible, I still want to go to the four major leagues." Ronnie said with longing.
Su Dong knew that he was full of ambitions and wanted to prove himself on a broader stage. This was partly because of money.
Just like Su Dong, despite his current momentum, his salary is not high. His monthly salary is only 10,000 euros, and Ronnie's is only 6,000 euros. This is considered an upper-middle income level in the Portuguese Super League, but in the four major leagues
But very inconspicuous.
For example, Everton in the Premier League, Chinese international Li Tie joined Everton on loan. After playing for a year, he performed well. Everton wanted to officially buy him out, and the salary offered was a weekly salary of 10,000 pounds.
It's fifteen thousand euros.
Everton's England youngster Wayne Rooney earns £15,000 a week.
Note that Li Tie and Rooney both earn weekly wages, while Su Dong earns monthly wages.
In other words, Su Dong's salary alone is less than one-sixth of Li Tie's.
Not to mention Ronnie, his salary is several miles behind compared to Rooney.
Transferring to the four major leagues will not only give you a broader stage, but also get more generous income. Therefore, even if there is a precedent of Hugo Viana's defeat, Su Dong, Ronnie and others will continue to work without hesitation.
Take this path.
Thinking of this, Su Dong firmly hugged Ronnie's shoulders and looked forward with a smile.
"let's work hard together!"
…………
…………
Sporting Lisbon eliminated Porto with a total score of 2-0, which attracted some attention in European football, but not much.
In terms of influence, the UEFA Cup is still far inferior to the Champions League.
Su Dong scored twice, which also attracted media coverage, but it was still limited.
If you want to go further, it can only be in the UEFA Cup final.
The opponent in the final was Celtic from the Scottish Premiership.
The Scottish Premiership team coached by Martin O'Neill performed very well this season and also relied on an upset to advance.
This also makes the media look forward to this UEFA Cup final, because both teams have frequently suffered upsets.
Needless to say about Sporting Lisbon, Celtic upset Liverpool and the strength of this team should not be underestimated either.
As for the semi-finals, Celtic defeated Boavista 1-1 at home and 1-0 away.
Last season's rival for the Portuguese Super League title, this time it was Sporting Lisbon's first try at the opponent, which made Sporting Lisbon more confident in dealing with it.
The final is scheduled three days after the last round of the Portuguese Super League, which also puts a bit of pressure on Sporting Lisbon.
The current standings of the Portuguese Super League are very tight. Sporting Lisbon is only one point behind Porto. If the two teams fail to determine the winner in the next six rounds, then the final round will determine the championship.
focus battle.
After the away game against Porto, they will go to Spain to play the UEFA Cup final. Such a schedule will be a big test for Sporting Lisbon.
But there was no other way. After waiting for forty years, the team finally reached the European finals again. Not only were the fans outside happy, the Portuguese media was very excited, and even the club management was very excited.
Even the day after the team eliminated Porto, club president Dias couldn't wait to issue a so-called statement calling on all 18 Portuguese Super League teams to support Sporting Lisbon and share the same hatred. This received an enthusiastic response.
If Sporting Lisbon wins the championship, the Portuguese Super League's European points will be further improved, which will be of great help to the entire Portuguese Super League, especially the top teams.
While the Portuguese Super League teams are working together to support Sporting Lisbon, in the calm European football world, Su Dong's name has exploded in the professional football circle.
