Jorge Jesus always thought he would be an excellent professional head coach.
Although in the past ten years, his coaching resume can always be described as mediocre.
Without an outstanding career, Jorge Jesus made up his mind to become a head coach early on and worked hard towards this goal. Then he got the opportunity to coach at Fergueiras in the Porto District.
In the following years, he moved to a number of Portuguese low-level league teams, including coaching Madeira United.
It was during his six months coaching at Madeira United that he got the opportunity to coach the Portuguese Super League team Amadora.
He is ambitious to establish achievements in the Portuguese Super League. In the three seasons at Amadora, his coaching performance has always been ranked in the middle of the league, which is quite stable. This makes people recognize the coaching ability of Jorge Jesus.
Amadora, who was coached by him, used a 4-4-2 formation as the basic formation and adopted high-position pressing and pressing tactics. This made them very in line with the current mainstream trends in European football and became an emerging force that cannot be underestimated in the Portuguese Super League.
After the success of Amadora, Jorge Jesus was eager to take his coaching resume one step further, so he left Amadora, which had limited financial resources, and switched to the ambitious Setubal, and led this team
The team successfully promoted from the Portuguese Liga to the Portuguese Super League, but Setubal's performance in the first half of this season's Portuguese Super League was not ideal.
In the end, Jorge Jesus could not survive the cold winter break. Both he and Porto coach Machado were dismissed, becoming brothers in distress in the Portuguese Super League. But unlike Machado, Jorge Jesus
As soon as Si finished class, he was immediately invited back by his former employer Amadora.
At this time, after Amadora sent away Jorge Jesus, in just one season, it fell from the original mid-range team to the bottom of the points. Not to mention the despicable relegation, in the first half of the Portuguese Liga
The performance was not ideal, and the league ranking was even lower than that of Camp Maio and Ives, the same two relegated teams.
The return of past achievements greatly boosted the morale of the team.
Jorge Jesus led Amadora to launch a strong rebound back to the Portuguese Super League after the winter break.
This time, he vowed to bring Amadola back to the Portuguese Super League and prove his coaching ability in the Portuguese Super League again.
After the winter break, Amadora looks unstoppable.
Sporting Lisbon's second team unfortunately stood in front of a team that aspired to reach the top spot.
…………
…………
Amadora is just about ten kilometers north of Lisbon, and the two teams are very familiar with each other.
Sporting Lisbon is still the trident combination of Marcelino, Sudong and Ronnie, but the situation is completely different from before.
Amadora, coached by Jorge Jesus, is very different from the Portuguese Liga teams they have encountered before.
They used a high position to press and press, even pressing past half court.
With their strength inferior to that of their opponents, Sporting Lisbon's second team had no effective way to deal with this.
In addition to pressing high up the pitch, Jesus adopts a fast attack, mainly from the wing. During the winter break, he spent a lot of money to introduce the Argentine high center Campos from the Portuguese Super League Alvica, who was unable to play the ball, to improve the team's offensive power.
At the beginning of the game, Amadola launched a fierce attack on the Sporting Lisbon second team.
Under the successive attacks of the offensive lineup headed by high center forward Campos, Jose Fonte's defensive line finally broke in the 33rd minute. What is even more unacceptable is that Sporting Lisbon's second team organized the entire first half.
Can't afford an effective attack.
…
There was silence in the locker room.
Everyone, including Su Dong, had disappointment written on their faces.
This is an asymmetrical game, all around.
After the coaching change, Jorge Jesus carried out a comprehensive reorganization of Amadora and showed strong execution and control. He rejuvenated the Amadora team with vitality and fighting spirit.
This is a team that aims to reach the top spot.
What about Sporting Lisbon’s second team?
Limited by the existence of the first team, it is impossible for Sporting Lisbon's second team to surpass the league, so the top priority of this team in the Portuguese Liga is to avoid relegation. As long as they can avoid relegation, they have basically completed the task.
From the current point of view, the pressure to relegation is not great.
Different mental outlooks, showing different fighting will, coupled with the different coaching styles of the head coach, made Amadora show an aggressive momentum from the beginning.
Sporting Lisbon's second team is relatively more conservative, even weak.
"We must be able to hold the ball on the front line. This is the only way we can solve the passive situation in the whole game. Only by playing threatening offense in front can the opponent not dare to press too much."
Head coach Jean Yames said with some distress.
His eyes first fell on Ronnie.
The top star of the second team is indeed very good at holding and dribbling the ball, and his speed is also very fast, but he is a little too sticky with the ball, and it is easy to get into a stalemate and hard battle on the wing, and be trapped by the opponent.
Marcelino is slightly better, but he also has the same problem.
The overall strength of Sporting Lisbon's second team is far inferior to that of their opponents. They finally managed to win the ball. Once they fail to form an effective direct threat, it will only make their opponents more unscrupulous.
But it is obvious that Ronnie is a very good breakthrough player and wide player, but he cannot break the deadlock with the ball.
The same goes for Marcelino.
Jean James's eyes swept from Ronnie and Marcelino to Su Dong.
"Sue, can you do that?"
Following Yames' question, everyone in the locker room turned their attention to Su Dong.
For a moment, Su Dong seemed to feel a huge pressure, like a mountain, pressing heavily on his shoulders.
Can I?
This is the first time head coach James has asked him this.
Su Dong looked at Ronnie and found that the latter had encouragement in his eyes and nodded towards him, as if to say: You can do it, brother, I will definitely help you.
"Paul Fonseca and Raul Oliveira are both tall and strong, especially Paul Fonseca. He is very smart and is the core of this team's defense. I need to expand my running range to avoid
Open up their defense."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When he said this, Su Dong felt slightly excited.
This is tantamount to asking for the power of a frontcourt offensive core.
"Okay." Jean James nodded in agreement, "Edgar and Ronnie, as well as Ugo and Miguel, you must pay close attention to Su's running route and cooperate with his movement."
"Pass the ball to me as far as possible on the ground and use your body. I have no advantage." Su Dong reminded his teammates.
Everyone around him nodded.
After all, Su Dong is only seventeen years old. Paulo Fonseca and Oliveira are both twenty-eight years old and in their prime. One is from Porto and the other is Brad who moved from the Premier League to the English Championship.
Ford, after returning to Portugal, has been playing for Amadora.
Facing such experienced players, it is normal for Su Dong's body to have no advantage.
After head coach James finished explaining the task, everyone began to prepare.
Su Dong walked over, gave Ronnie a high five, and bumped their shoulders.
"Brother, please pay attention to my gestures and rush if you have the chance."
Ronnie nodded and patted Su Dong's shoulder again.
Unknowingly, Su Dong has become a teammate who can fight alongside him, help him, and sometimes even perform better than him.
In today's Su Dong, Ronnie can no longer see a trace of the figure who was unable to play football in the amateur league six months ago.
He was very happy with Su Dong's progress, but at the same time he was also encouraging and spurring himself to become stronger.
…………
…………
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Amadola still relied on its overall strength advantage to suppress Sporting Lisbon's second team.
The team was even forced to retreat into a thirty-meter zone to defend from the beginning.
In such a passive situation, it was difficult for Sporting Lisbon's second team to create opportunities.
The scene was almost one-sided.
Su Dong kept running, front, back, left and right. Whenever there was an open area, he would run to it.
He was waiting patiently for when his teammates could pass the ball out of the penalty area.
This wait lasted nearly twenty minutes.
Jose Fonte made a beautiful position in the penalty area and blocked the opponent's center Campos with his body. After intercepting the ball, he looked up and quickly passed the ball.
The ball flew through the inside and outside of the most densely populated penalty area, and landed at the front of the 30-meter area.
Su Dong has been judging where the ball will land, and he got ahead of Paul Fonseca early and took the lead.
Paul Fonseca took a step slower and bumped into Su Dong's back, trying to push Su Dong away.
After more than a month of physical training, Su Dong's body has also been greatly improved. When he was hit by Paul Fonseca, he was almost knocked out of position, but he reacted quickly and leaned back
, leaning against Fonseca with his body.
When the ball arrived, Su Dong raised his right foot, touched the ball lightly in mid-air, and decelerated it.
After the ball fell, it happened to be on the right side of Su Dong, and he turned around, bumped Fonseca with his shoulder, and at the same time stretched out his hand to block him.
This is one of the very effective little moves that Cruz taught him to harass the opponent's defensive players.
Paul Fonseca was delayed by Su Dong's series of actions, allowing Su Dong to successfully turn around.
Once you turn around, things will be easier to handle.
Su Dong pushed his legs hard and pushed the ball forward with his right foot. He moved like a rabbit and quickly passed by Fonseca.
Ronnie on the right has a very good understanding with Su Dong. As soon as he sees Su Dong holding the ball with his back, he presses forward.
The moment Su Dong threw Fonseca away, Ronnie also started.
"Nice turn and escape!" Jean Yames shouted excitedly from the sidelines.
Two fast players quickly counterattacked in the frontcourt, forming a two-on-one situation.
After Su Dong got rid of Fonseca, he felt a little regretful that he had not been able to practice his left foot well. Otherwise, a direct left-footed pass would have been the most threatening.
But now, he can only dribble the ball and keep approaching Oliveira, forcing the opponent to keep retreating.
On the outside of the opponent's penalty area, Su Dong realized that the opponent was unwilling to retreat, so he immediately distributed the ball with his right foot and passed it to Ronnie who came in behind.
But what I didn't expect was that Ronnie rushed too fast, and the first ball stopped wide.
Su Dong was a little stunned.
Brother, forget it about your usual promiscuity. At the critical moment, don’t make trouble!
