The second team drew 1-1 away with Gondomar, and the first team drew 2-2 away with Porto.
On the same day, both teams retired from the away game, which made Sporting Lisbon fans basically satisfied.
But the price paid by the team is also very heavy. Three players, including captain Barbosa, will face suspension.
For a time, the media and fans close to Sporting Lisbon were worried, but the atmosphere within the team was ready to stir.
Especially in the first team, many players have sensed opportunities.
This was directly reflected in the training session on the second day, where everyone worked harder.
During a counterattack after losing the ball in the frontcourt, Ronnie made a fierce tackle on Irish defender Phil Babb, knocking the 31-year-old veteran to the ground.
Phil Barb got up from the grass angrily, rushed forward, reached out and patted Ronnie on the face, "Calm down, little brat, use your strength at our opponent, don't get me into trouble!"
Ronnie also realized that he was not calm enough and slowly backed away, but he said without any sign of weakness, "When I become the best player in the world, I'll see if you still dare to call me a brat."
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smile.
Su Dong was near the incident and immediately pulled away from Ronnie. At the same time, he also felt the tension in the team atmosphere.
The competition is so fierce that everyone seems like a shark that has smelled blood and is waiting to swarm up.
And everyone's goal is to make the roster, or even position.
Even players like Su Dong who have not yet had a chance can't help but have some daydreams in their hearts.

In the middle of the week, the Portuguese Cup quarter-finals will be an away game against Real City.
Although the opponent was just an amateur team in a low-level league, Boloni arranged half of the substitute lineup and beat the opponent 4-0 away from home, but Su Dong and Ronnie were still excluded from the squad.
Of course, the two of them don't have too many complaints about this, after all, they have just entered the first team.
It is worth mentioning that Jader scored twice.
The Brazilian forward's scoring momentum seems to be unstoppable.
…
At the weekend, in the 19th round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon faced Belerenses at home.
The team suffered from two red cards and suspensions, and its overall strength was greatly affected.
But at the critical moment, Jardel stepped forward again, scoring two goals in the 28th and 82nd minutes respectively, and scored three points for Sporting Lisbon at home.
After scoring twice in two consecutive games and scoring five goals in three games, Jardel's scoring momentum is out of control.
…
A week later, in the twentieth round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon challenged Alvica away.
Jader opened the scoring for the team in the 27th minute, and then scored two goals in the 50th and 80th minutes, completing a hat trick. This was also his first hat trick this season.
With eight goals scored in four rounds, anyone could see that Jardel was completely crazy.
External media have reported that this is Jardel's attempt to send the strongest signal to all teams interested in him before the transfer market closes during the winter break.
That is, he is still the Brazilian striker who scores a lot of goals!
…
As if to confirm outside speculation, on the last day of January, in the 21st round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon faced Leiria at home.
After the visiting team sent away coach Mourinho, its overall strength was greatly affected. Sporting Lisbon took advantage of their home court advantage to launch waves of attacks against their opponents.
Jardel scored a goal in the 21st minute, and three minutes later Quaresma scored his first Portuguese Super League goal in his career, which was also his first goal this season.
Before the end of the first half, it was Jardel who scored another victory for Sporting Lisbon with this penalty kick.
After a change of sides in the second half, Leiria regained the game, but Jader's goal in the 87th minute sealed the victory for the team.
Another hat trick!
Scored a hat trick in two consecutive league rounds.
Scored 11 goals in five rounds, is there any crazier data than this?
…
Jardel's consecutive goals made his transfer a hot topic.
Not only the Portuguese media are reporting frantically, but even the media from the four major European leagues are paying close attention to it.
Almost all teams that are eager to strengthen their offense will have scandals with Jardell, and some media even continue to release fierce news, concluding that Jardell will join a certain wealthy team at some point.
What surprised everyone was that until the last moment when the transfer market closed, no team made an offer to Sporting Lisbon, and Jardel's winter break transfer also failed.
…………
…………
While Jardel was scoring goals like crazy in the first team, Ronnie, who was in the second team, finally broke his scoring drought since the winter break.
In three games in mid-to-late January, Sporting Lisbon's second team achieved one win, one draw and one loss.
These four points gave the team a solid step on the road to relegation.
Su Dong scored one goal in three games and also had one assist.
Ronnie's goal came from Su Dong's assist.
The cooperation between the two is getting better and better, and they have gradually established a tacit understanding of playing on the court with the players of the second team. This has also greatly improved Su Dong's status in the locker room of the second team.
Many people agree with his performance and position.
And everyone began to believe that it was only a matter of time before Su Dong and Ronnie, two players who were training with the first team, would play for the first team.
Su Dong is not very concerned about when he can play in the first team. He prefers to believe that as long as he has the strength, playing will be a matter of course and natural.
Training with the first team and playing games with the second team has greatly helped Su Dong improve his strength in both training and games. Coupled with his unremitting hard training on weekdays, these have made his performance better.
The better.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Among the three major categories of attributes, the highest speed and explosive power have reached 86 points, and other offensive attributes have basically exceeded 75 points.
In just one month, Su Dong made a lot of progress compared to when he first joined.
This also makes him unswervingly believe that as long as he continues to maintain this momentum, he will soon be able to fully master both technical and physical categories at the [Ball] level.
But if you want to be in Dzogchen this time, you probably won’t be able to do it.
Because he is a forward, Su Dong develops his defensive attributes very slowly.
This is obviously forcing him to make plans for his career and appropriately give up defensive attributes.
He is already struggling if he only practices technique and body. If he also practices defense, when will he be able to upgrade?
Besides, he is a center, not a central defender. As long as his defense is passable, there is no need to be too demanding.

Night, sky bar.
Su Dong sat on the sofa in the bar, raised his head, and saw dots of stars under the black screen. They were so beautiful that they could not be described. He even looked a little crazy.
Tonight is a meeting of the first team.
Jader, who has been scoring a lot of goals recently, took the rare opportunity to invite all his teammates to gather here during the team's holiday.
Head coach Boloni gave the green light, but Niculai did not come.
The Romanian center was troubled by injuries after the winter break and did not even play a minute. On the contrary, Nalizis had several opportunities to replace Jardel, but he failed to show enough strength.
It can be said that the current forward line of Sporting Lisbon is really supported by Jardel.
Recently, they have won consecutive games and started to gradually widen the gap with Boavista and Porto. The atmosphere in the team is also much more relaxed than before. The players gathered in the bar, and the atmosphere was quite warm, which was different from the cold winter outside.
Oh, it's really warm as spring in the bar.
Ronnie and Jordana were inseparable in the corner, and their relationship was developing by leaps and bounds. Many other players also brought girlfriends or wives, and there were also many singles like Su Dong who played games in the distance.
Or play tabletop football, with genuine exclamations from time to time, and the atmosphere is quite lively.
Su Dong ordered a drink, sat on the sofa, raised his head, and counted the stars in the sky.
He began to realize that he should probably learn to play games, otherwise, he would have less and less common topics with them.
However, playing games is also a waste of time.
He now wished he had forty-eight hours a day so that he could continue to practice hard and improve his strength as soon as possible.
Why is there such a big gap in strength between him and his first-team teammates?
But there is no way, time is fair to everyone.
Andre Cruz, who was still watching table football, finally left the crowd. He first went to the bar to order a drink, then found an empty table and tasted it with gusto.
When Su Dong saw that he was alone, he immediately picked up the drink cup he had placed on the table and walked towards Cruise.
Since he joined Sporting Lisbon, he has been training with the first team, and as a center, he always inevitably faces off against Andre Cruz, and not surprisingly, he is tormented by Cruz every time
Perfectly groomed.
It can be said that in the past month, he has not taken advantage of Cruise at all.
This made him feel in awe of the Brazilian central defender.
It was a rare opportunity, and he really wanted to clarify the questions in his heart.
Cruise looked at Su Dong sitting down in front of him, and an unexpected look flashed in his eyes.
"Is something wrong?" the Brazilian central defender asked strangely.
Su Dong placed the drink cup on the table, nodded and said, "Yes, I want to ask you something."
Andre Cruz is a veteran who has experienced many battles. He has played for Standard Liege, Naples, AC Milan and other wealthy teams, and he has extensive experience. When he saw Su Dong's expression, he immediately guessed what was going on.
The Brazilian central defender smiled and nodded, "Just ask, I will tell you everything I know."
Su Dong felt Cruise's honesty. After pondering the words, he asked seriously: "Why do I always feel like you can guess what I want to do in advance? Are my movements really that easy to guess?"
By the end of the question, Su Dong's brows were already furrowed.
Sometimes he even feels that Cruise can predict the future.
