What Andre Cruz said brought so much surprise to Su Dong.
So much so that when he got home that night, he couldn't sleep.
This is really unusual for Su Dong, who is always sleepy and has a high quality of sleep.
He lay in bed all night, leaning on his side, looking at the Tagus River outside the house through the open curtains.
Cruz's analysis of players is reasonable. Some players are born to be core players. For example, Zidane is born to play like a core player. However, no matter how well some players do, their characteristics are destined to
Can only be a supporting role.
Generally speaking, the core players are usually in the middle.
Although Zidane is said to be on the left, he actually plays the role of an attacking midfielder on the left.
Kluivert is indeed one of the best centers in the world, as are Vieri, Crespo, Trezeguet, Van Nistelrooy, Mackay and other players. But if you analyze it carefully, it is not difficult to find that Kluivert is one of the best centers in the world.
Ruivert's playing style is completely different from theirs.
From Ajax to the Dutch national team, he is like the center of the team's frontcourt. All the players around him revolve around him. He is like a key node. Everyone will follow his actions and wishes.
as a reference.
Of course, the premise is that he has such comprehensive abilities and excellent physical fitness.
So did he have this ability first, or did Ajax train him in a targeted manner based on the team's tactical needs?
This should be an unanswerable answer.
But what is certain is that Kluivert is indeed a near-perfect center.
Cruise suggested that Su Dong learn from Kluivert, which was an affirmation and encouragement to him.
The Brazilian veteran is already 33 years old. At the end of the conversation, he told Su Dong that after the end of this season, he will leave Sporting Lisbon, leave European football, and return to his hometown in Brazil.
The reason why he told Su Dong so much was because he felt that Su Dong had such potential and qualifications.
This made Su Dong a little flattered and confused at the same time.
He is just a professional rookie who has just debuted. Some people say he looks like Batistuta, and Cruz said he looks like Kluivert. So who does he look like?
Or maybe he doesn't look like anyone?

The next morning, Su Dong rarely stayed in bed.
This surprised both Ronnie and Semedo, especially when they saw Su Dong's bloodshot eyes, they were shocked.
"You have to be more restrained. If you do that kind of thing too much, it will harm your body." Semedo reminded him "righteously".
Faced with the joke, Su Dong was too lazy to respond.
After washing up and changing clothes, Pontes' car arrived.
We arrived in Alcocheti in silence all the way.
Ronnie and Semedo scrambled to get out of the car, while Sudong stopped Pontes in the parking lot and told him his confusion.
"Cruz's career was not very successful, but I didn't expect that he was still a smart player." Pontes was a little surprised.
Cruz is a white Brazilian player, but his playing style does not seem smart.
At least in the AC Milan team, Cruz has never been the main player. He has always been suppressed by seniors such as Maldini and Costacurta, so that he did not play many games during his two-year trip to the red and black, and finally transferred
It took me to Standard Liege to regain some of my status.
"Actually, he is right. Core players are much higher than role players in terms of tactical value and historical status. But you have to understand that it is not that easy to become a core player."
"Just like Kluivert, he could be the core at Ajax, but when he arrived at AC Milan, Capello was unable to give him such a status. Coupled with the chaos in the locker room, he was not as good as before. Now
When he arrived at Barcelona, the situation was not very good either. Van Gaal trusted him, but after Van Gaal dismissed get out of class, his situation also went from bad to worse."
Su Dong understood what Pontes meant.
Rich teams have particularly high requirements for core players. Only the top stars in the world are qualified to serve as the core players of rich teams, especially the offensive core in the frontcourt.
Even someone as strong as Kluivert cannot get enough trust in Barcelona.
"I understand, this is too far away." Su Dong is not stupid, he is not too ambitious, but because Sporting Lisbon's traditional formation is also four, three, and three, and it also needs a center, just like Ajax.
Pontes smiled and said, "Do you know why Boloni doesn't like Jardel?"
Su Dong shook his head, he also felt very strange.
Jardel is the team's top scorer, has a high scoring efficiency, and is very familiar with the Portuguese Super League. In order to get him, Sporting Lisbon even did not hesitate to exchange three main players such as Mponza. Why is such a player not
What does Bologna like?
"Like Cruz said, he only scores goals."
Su Dong was a little stunned, but he quickly figured it out.
"Actually, as early as when Jardel was playing for Porto, many wealthy teams were paying attention to him. He scored goals very efficiently. But gradually, everyone discovered that he could only score goals. Apart from scoring goals, he did not do anything else.
They can’t do it well, they can’t even do it.”
Su Dong thinks that this should be the reason why after Jardel left Porto, he went to Turkey instead of landing in the four major leagues. After going to Turkey, he wanted to return to the mainstream leagues, but in the end, there was no place in the four major leagues.
The team was willing to get him, but in the end they had no choice but to return to Sporting Lisbon.
Age, salary and transfer fees are all reasons, but only part of them.
The final analysis is that he is not substantial enough.
The weight here includes the player's strength and tactical value.
Even during the winter break, he scored goals like crazy, but in the end no team was willing to bid for him and take him out of the Portuguese Super League.
It's not that other teams are blind and ignorant, but because there are many, many players who can replace Jardel.
Core players are irreplaceable, and role players can be picked up easily.
Inter Milan, who are rumored to be closest to him, include Ronaldo, Vieri, Recoba, Ventola, Pandev, Martins, Adriano and Caron. There are so many masters on the offensive line. Do they need Jardel?
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If you ask me for my opinion, I can only say that different head coaches will have different views on players. They will use or even transform players according to their own preferences.
, but players should also have their own opinions in their hearts, that is, what kind of player do you want to be?"
"Pele scored a lot of goals, but this is not the main reason why he became the world champion. Maradona did not become the world champion by scoring more goals, and neither did Ronaldo or Zidane."
"On the football field, strength will speak for itself after all. Whether you want to be a role player or a core player, in the final analysis, only when your strength reaches your level will you have the opportunity to prove your worth."
"It's like boiling an egg. You first need to know that you want to boil an egg. Then you need an egg, a pot, water and a gas stove. You have all these. Put the ingredients in and start cooking.
But you need to wait, wait for the water temperature to rise, wait for the water to boil, and then the eggs can be cooked slowly."
"The whole process is indispensable, but in the final analysis it still lies in the earliest stage when you have an idea and want to boil an egg."
Su Dong understood a little bit.
What Pontes said actually told him that he was nobody.
Neither Batistuta nor Kluivert, he is Su Dong, the unique Su Dong.
Anyone who wants to be someone else is destined to be a loser.
After clarifying this point, Su Dong should figure out what kind of player he wants to be?
After figuring it out, he can work hard in this direction to improve and improve himself.
As for when the egg can be cooked, it depends on when Su Dong prepares all the ingredients, puts it in the pot, and boils it.
There is no need to rush this step.
Ronnie is very anxious. He is looking for opportunities every day to show his face in front of the coaching staff. He can't wait to become a first-team player. This may not be a good thing.
From the communication with Pontes, Su Dong also realized that Boloni's requirements for the center were not just to score goals.
This is probably why he suppressed Jardel and reused Nikolai at the beginning of the season. Later, after poor results, he even did not hesitate to switch to a double forward and did not easily let Jardel serve as a lone forward.
He vaguely sensed that this might be his opportunity.
"Thank you, Lionel." Su Dong felt that the knot in his heart was untied.
Pontes smiled and said, "No need to thank me. In fact, you already have the answer."
"How do you say that?" Su Dong was curious.
"The reason why Virgos get entangled easily is because you want everything."
Su Dong laughed awkwardly.
Virgo men are so unpretentious and boring.

After Su Dong made his thoughts clear, Pontes' special training plan tailored for him had to be modified accordingly.
For example, the intensity of physical training has been increased from two classes per week to four classes per week.
Originally, Su Dong wanted to train every day, but Pontes refused Su Dong's proposal due to physical fatigue.
There is also the training of center ability, which Cruz promised to help.
The veteran Brazilian central defender promised that if Su Dong is willing, he can stay with him after training every afternoon to practice extra. This is definitely super VIP treatment. Pontes needs to arrange some training items and equipment.
The training content mainly focuses on the use of the body, picking up the ball behind the back under high pressure, turning around and getting rid of the ball after picking up the ball, etc.
The center is always active in the most densely defended area of the opponent. He is like a thick rivet, which must be able to firmly nail the most important position in the opponent's defensive position and exert a threat.
This is the most difficult position to play on the court, and it is also the position that requires the highest player ability.
In addition, Pontes also suggested that Su Dong read the first-team scouting reports every week, as well as the opponent's defensive player reports and some game videos provided by the scouts for the forward players, which would allow him to better understand the opponent.
Improve his tactical literacy and game analysis capabilities.
But this alone, Su Dong felt, was not enough.
So he entered the system store of King of Football and began to look for star ability cards that suited him.
