In the stands of the Joaquín Almeida Freitas Stadium in Morelense, a bald Spanish old man stared at Su Dong on the court with interest and asked curiously.
After Sudong scored the second goal, Sporting Lisbon's second team was still forced to go on the defensive.
There is no way, the overall strength is far inferior to the opponent, and we are fighting on the road, and we have to defend when the opponent is aggressively attacking.
Morelense also strengthened his attention and monitoring of Su Dong. Both central defenders stuck to Su Dong. This also temporarily curbed Sporting Lisbon's counterattack momentum, but in this way it also made his offense worse.
No longer strong.
This is the offensive and defensive game of professional football.
As soon as the balding old man finished asking, a middle-aged Spanish man sitting next to him opened the materials in his hand and quickly found a name, "His name is Su Dong, he is from China and he started playing for Atlético de Portugal in Lisbon last summer.
, this is a third-tier league team that transferred to Sporting Lisbon during the winter break."
"Chinese?" The balding old man was surprised and nodded: "This kid is very good. He has the body, skills and speed. He is also very calm and decisive when shooting with both feet. Especially that emergency stop. With such a height, he can stop
You can live with it, your skills are quite good.”
The middle-aged Spanish man was a little surprised. He didn't expect the balding old man to speak so highly of a little-known Chinese player.
who is he?
Luis Suarez.
The only legendary star in Spanish history to win the European Ballon d'Or. He has played for Barcelona and Inter Milan and other wealthy teams. After hanging up his boots, he has coached Inter Milan, Deportivo La Coruna and the Spanish national team, with outstanding achievements.
After retiring from the coaching position, he did not fade out of football. Instead, he went behind the scenes and served as a senior advisor to Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti, specializing in providing valuable advice on Inter Milan's management, coaching selection and recruitment.
When Inter Milan introduced Ronaldo from Barcelona, it was Luis Suarez's most praised move.
Not only that, he is also the head of Inter Milan’s scouting network in the Iberian Peninsula.
Today, he made a special trip from his home in Spain to Porto, and then drove dozens of kilometers to arrive at Moreira de Coniges, just because he wanted to inspect the nationally renowned young genius Cristiano in Sporting Lisbon's second team.
·Ronaldo.
Unexpectedly, the old man accidentally discovered Su Dong.
The middle-aged Spanish man picked up a pen and drew a circle on Su Dong's name, remembering the name.
…
The game ended up tied two to two.
Sporting Lisbon's second team failed to upset the away team.
Although the team is currently ranked sixth, its overall strength is behind Morelense. It is very satisfying to score 2-2. No one can put forward more demanding requirements for this group of young players.
Su Dong, who scored twice, performed very well and continued his excellent form in the past few rounds.
Ronnie also showed his personal ability to stand out from the crowd.
After training with the first team, Su Dong made great progress, and Ronnie also made rapid progress.
Both the Portuguese media and Sporting Lisbon fans have high hopes for this local talent from the youth academy.
With Quaresma in the first team, and Ronnie emerging again, forming a golden pair of wings has become the wish of countless Sporting Lisbon fans.
What no one knew was that after the game, when the Sporting Lisbon second team returned to the locker room, washed up, got back on the bus, and set off back to Lisbon, Luis Suarez was standing in the distance.
Watching the bus leave, Luis Suarez picked up the mobile phone in his trouser pocket, found Moratti's number and called directly.
"Ha, Luis, I heard you went to Portugal?" Moratti's hearty laughter came from the phone.
"Yes, Massimo, I'm here to inspect the Portuguese genius."
"I told you, Luis, you don't need to go in person, just ask a scout to go." On the phone, Moratti's tone was concerned, and it was obvious that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
"Besides, we have Ronaldo, why do we need to introduce a mini Ronaldo?"
Luis Suarez smiled bitterly, "Sporting Lisbon's valuation for him should be around one million euros, no more than two million euros at most. It's a good deal now, Massimo."
"High potential?"
"Well, the physical condition, speed, technique and ability to change speed and direction are all very good."
"But he's only seventeen, isn't he?"
"We have to invest in the future, Massimo," Suarez advised.
"Of course, Louis, you are right, we need to invest in the future, but he is only seventeen years old. I think that in three years, when he grows more mature, it will be more suitable for us."
"But it will definitely be more than this price when the time comes."
"Of course, as long as he has the strength." Moratti said boldly.
Luis Suarez has nothing to do about this, it falls within the scope of the club's transfer strategy.
There is indeed a certain risk in introducing a semi-finished product like Cristiano Ronaldo, so many wealthy teams would rather wait until the player grows up, become more mature and stable, and spend a higher price to introduce him, rather than work hard to train him.
This is how wealthy teams live.
"I also met an unexpected surprise, Massimo."
"Not many things can surprise you."
"A Chinese player, 17 years old, has nothing to say about his body, skills, and consciousness. He gives me a very complicated feeling."
"What should I say?" Moratti also became interested.
"He is tall and has a very obvious tactical effect. He is very delicate with his feet, a bit like Kluivert back then, but when he kicks to hit the goal, he looks a bit like Batistuta, and his movement is also very smart..."
"Wait, wait, Louis, are you sure the person you are talking about is seventeen years old?"
"certainly."
"That's a bit interesting." Moratti smiled.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I think so too, he should be around one million euros."
"Here you go again, Luis." Moratti said a little impatiently, "He is like Kluivert? But we have Vieri, he is like Batistuta, but the problem is that the real God of War is in Rome.
, if we need a scorer, why not choose Batistuta and choose a little god of war?"
Luis Suarez was speechless.
He hopes to help Inter Milan spend less and get more returns.
But Moratti is more willing to introduce superstars rather than half-finished products.
Of course, Inter Milan is not short of money now.

The morning after the game against Morelense, after training with Nuno Cruz in the gym, Sudong was called aside by coach Boloni when he returned to the first team.
Boloni said that the team is satisfied with his recent performance and hopes that he will continue to work hard.
"I want you to be ready at all times."
In the Portuguese Super League that just passed, Sporting Lisbon drew with its opponent at home, and Jardel was injured and came off the field.
This is the first time he has failed to score in a game since his scoring spree in January.
Nalizis, who replaced Jardel, played for nearly an hour, but performed poorly throughout the game and did not score a goal.
Now is the critical moment for Sporting Lisbon to fight for the league championship. Sporting Lisbon's advantage is not obvious, especially after this round of draws, Boavista followed closely and caught up.
Going forward, Porto led by Mourinho is even more eyeing.
Not only that, there is a Portuguese Cup semi-final next, and Sporting Lisbon, which is fighting on two fronts, is under great pressure.
The four teams currently reaching the semi-finals of the Portuguese Cup are Sporting Lisbon against Maritimo and Porto against Lesos.
Sporting Lisbon and Porto are both playing at home, and the outcome will be decided in one battle, whoever wins will advance to the final.
This also makes the game full of suspense.
But unfortunately, at this critical moment, Jardel was injured.
The team doctor's test results after the game showed that Jardel's injury was not serious and would not affect his ability to continue playing in the game, but it was still a hidden danger.
After hearing Boloni's words, Su Dong didn't know what reaction he should give.
are you happy?
He was indeed very happy, after all, he saw the opportunity in front of him.
But it's more pressure.
…
As soon as Boloni left, Pontes followed behind and handed Su Dong a newspaper.
In an inconspicuous corner of the sports section of the newly released Portuguese newspaper Publisha Portugal, yesterday's Portuguese League scores were introduced. Sporting Lisbon's second team drew 2-2 away from Morelense.
Su Dong's name [su] and the time of the two goals appear in smaller fonts below the score.
"How does it feel to report for the first time?" Pontes asked with a smile.
Su Dong smiled slightly and shook his head. He didn't know what he felt.
If I insist on saying so, it would be a very unreal feeling, like a dream.
"Keep working hard. I believe it won't be long before you can not only find your name on it, but also get a report of your own, and even see your own photo." Pontes encouraged.
He watched Su Dong come step by step with his own eyes, and he was very optimistic about Su Dong's future.
Su Dong held the newspaper, raised his head, and stared blankly at the blue sky without any clouds.

…………
After playing Morelense on Saturday, Mendes came to the apartment with two Spanish guests on Tuesday night.
Since they received the call in advance, Su Dong, Ronnie and Jose Semedo all stayed at home and waited.
Luis Suarez and his friend, Garcia.
Frankly speaking, Su Dong did not know Luis Suarez before.
Because the era when he played football was so long ago, let alone Su Dong, his father was probably not even born yet.
But Mendes reminded Sudong and Ronnie on the phone that Luis Suarez not only has a respected status in Spanish football, but also in European football, and is a senior advisor to Inter Milan president Moratti.
He once won the European Ballon d'Or.
This is the first time in Su Dong's life that he has seen a player who has won the highest honor in football.
Even though he looks very old.
But this still made Su Dong feel very excited.
Especially Luis Suarez brought a gift that he simply could not refuse.
