"Maridimo has never been a fuel-efficient person."
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Boloni shook his head with disappointment and was disappointed with the situation on the field.
"Although Nairo Vengada, an old fox, has been coaching the Portuguese national youth team, he is still very capable, especially in the season from 1997 to 1998 when the famous England coach Souness coached Benfica and he was hired
As an assistant coach, that year had a great impact on his coaching style."
As an assistant, Pontes is also very familiar with the situation in Portuguese football. Naturally, he is no stranger to a head coach like Nello Vengada.
"Although Souness's coaching resume is not successful, he was the captain of the peak Liverpool team in the 1980s, and later achieved success in the Scottish Premiership and the Premier League, especially the strong 80s spirit in him.
The style of the Liverpool dynasty of the 1990s had a great influence on Nello Vengada, which can be seen from the Maritimo team he coached."
Tough and tough in style, this is the style of Souness' leadership, and it is also the style of today's Maritimo team.
This should be the reason why Wengada admires Pepe.
When he said this, Pontes turned to look at Boloni, thought for a moment, and said: "Actually, this kind of game is not suitable for Su Dong. After all, he is still young, only seventeen years old."
Boloni turned his head, took a deep look at his assistant, smiled helplessly and said: "Don't worry, Lionel, even if we really lose, I will not let a seventeen-year-old substitute player lose.
A trace of responsibility.”
In the last three games, the reason why Su Dong has been substituted one after another is because Sporting Lisbon's bench is not strong enough.
Nikolai is still recuperating from injury. Nalikis has not been able to integrate into the team and his performance is not ideal. On the contrary, Sudong turned the situation around by coming on as a substitute for two consecutive rounds. Let me ask, in this case, what can Boloni do?
Is Su Dong excluded from the big list?
Pontes is absolutely right. Opponents like Maritimo are too fierce and their style is too tenacious, especially a central defender like Pepe, who is just like a mad dog. This is not suitable for Su Dong to play at all.
But the matter has come to this, and Boloni has no choice.
If he really loses, he will bear all the responsibilities. This is his dignity as a head coach.
But he still had some hope that Su Dong could create surprises and surprises again.
Thinking of this, Boloni gritted his teeth secretly.
In the 60th minute, Sporting Lisbon made two more substitutions.
Ronnie and Hugo Viana came on as substitutes.
Joao Pinto returned to the midfield, Su Dong served as the lone forward, Ronnie and Quaresma were separated on the wings, and Hugo Viana stayed behind to organize and pass the ball.
This is definitely giving it a try!
Maritimo head coach Nello Vingada was dumbfounded when he saw two young substitutes walking to the sidelines.
This is exactly how gamblers lose their money!
"Is Boloni a little irrational?"
"In such an important game, two young players were replaced at once. Now, in the midfield and frontcourt at Sporting Lisbon, although there are veterans like Barbosa and Joao Pinto, Sudong and Quares
Ma, Cristiano Ronaldo and Hugo Viana, all under the age of twenty."
"These two substitutions are still very questionable."
"If Sporting Lisbon ultimately loses this semi-final, Bologni's substitutions will definitely become the focus of everyone's criticism."
"Is he so sure that this group of young players under the age of 20 can help him reverse Maritimo?"
No one will believe it!
Not only did the commentator on Bora TV not believe it, Maritimo's head coach Nello Vengada didn't believe it, and even Boloni himself didn't believe it.
He is more like a gambler who was forced into a desperate situation and had to fight against the odds.

Beep!!!
Referee Lucilio Batista blew the foul whistle.
Pepe raised his hands innocently and backed away slowly.
Su Dong fell on the grass, clenched his fists with both hands, and punched the grass hard, but quickly stood up again.
"How are you? Are you okay?" Batista ran over and asked.
Su Dong shook his head and said he was fine.
Just now, he turned his back to catch the ball, but Pepe caught up from behind, bumped him hard, and knocked him to the ground, causing him to fall into a very embarrassing situation.
The Brazilian central defender's physical fitness is indeed very good, and he is the best among all the players Su Dong has ever seen.
If Andre Cruz relied on defensive skills, consciousness and experience to block Su Dong, then Pepe's capital for freezing Su Dong in the second half was his body.
Whether on the ground or high in the air, in front of or behind him, he can handle it.
He could even miss the best opportunity, jump from behind and knock Su Dong down in mid-air.
Speed, explosive power, flexibility, jumping...
This guy has an almost perfect football player's body.
This also meant that after Su Dong came on as a substitute in the second half, he had almost no performance except for a few times with the ball.
…
"How's it going? Is it still enjoyable?"
Seeing Su Dong coming over, Pepe asked with a sneer.
He knew very well that if he wanted to convince head coach Wengada, he had to step on Jardel, step on Su Dong in front of him, or even step on anyone to get the position.
Su Dong stared at Peipei, smiled coldly, and asked: "Is that all you have?"
"not enough?"
"Hmph, maybe you don't know, I've been getting through this for the past few months. With your tricks, do you think you can scare me?" Su Dong sneered.
Peipei's smile froze, and she snorted twice, "Just continue to be arrogant, you are the only one left with arrogance!"
"Then let's try again!" Su Dong pointed at Pepe and said provocatively, "Compared with physical fitness, I'm not as good as you for the time being. Compared with technical skills, I don't have the advantage, but when it comes to protracted battles, you can't!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Peppa was a little annoyed when he was provoked in person like this.
When Su Dong tried to catch the ball from behind again, he bumped into him from behind and knocked Su Dong away with his shoulder.
But this time, the referee Batista blew the whistle directly.
foul!
Batista even called Pepe over and reminded him, "Be careful with your movements, I've been paying attention to you for a long time!"
Pepe waved his hand dismissively and stepped back.
Su Dong came over again and laughed, "I asked them to pass the ball to me as much as possible. You are dead tonight!"
A sharp look flashed in Pepe's eyes.
Soon, Sporting Lisbon attacked again and passed the ball to Su Dong's feet again.
Su Dong has been running in the gap, and this time he finally got rid of Pepe's dog-skin plaster, and turned around after stopping the ball.
Just when Su Dong was about to start accelerating, Pepe suddenly came out with a diagonal thrust, tackled him directly, and knocked him to the ground with the ball. Then he pointed at Su Dong provocatively, with a fierce expression on his face.
It's like saying: This is what happens if you threaten me!
But the referee Batista blew the whistle again and put his hand into his chest pocket.
Yellow card!
Pepe glared at Batista angrily. He felt that what he just did was not a foul at all. How could it be considered a foul if he tackled the ball first?
If he hadn't been pulled away by his opponent, he would have been very interested in rushing forward to argue with the referee.
"He's starting to get anxious!"
Su Dong grabbed Ronnie's hand, climbed up from the grass, and said with a smile.
Of course Ronnie could see it, but...
"Eighty-one minutes, there isn't much time left." Ronnie was a little anxious.
Su Dong nodded, he also knew that there was not much time, but he had to deal with Pepe.
…
Nello Vengada looked on from the sidelines and shook his head.
Pepe is good at everything as a central defender, but he just lacks a chord in his head.
He has amazing physical fitness, which can only make up for his immature defensive awareness and lack of game experience.
Although his personality problems allow him to execute the head coach's tactics meticulously without making any compromises, it also makes him easily irritated by his opponents in fierce competitions.
For a central defender, this is not a good thing.
"Jorge." Nello Vengada walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly towards the defense.
Central defender Jorge Soares looked over immediately.
"Remind Pepe so that he doesn't get too hot-headed."
Soares immediately made an OK gesture, indicating that he would pay attention.
Thirty-year-old Jorge Soares comes from Benfica and only moved to Maritimo in 1998. He has always been the team's main central defender and the core of the defense.
Leading the young Pepe is one of the tasks assigned to him by head coach Wengada.
"There are still ten minutes left. Stay vigilant. Next, it's up to you to keep an eye on that young Chinese boy. Don't let Pepe touch him again."
Wengada still looks uneasy because he knows his players.
Nowadays, Pepe is already hot-headed. If he is allowed to stare at Su Dong again, he may be sent off at any time.
This is not a good thing.
The score of 2 to 1 lasted the entire second half. It couldn't possibly be destroyed at the last minute, right?
If you hold on for another ten minutes, this game will be won!
Advancing to the finals, or even winning the championship, will be the first splash of color on Nello Vengada's dull coaching resume.

Su Dong noticed that the defensive players around him had changed.
This made him a little disappointed, but at the same time he also realized the opportunity.
It is disappointing to fail to strike while the iron is hot and take out Pepe, but it is also an opportunity for someone to defend.
During a midfield pass, Joao Pinto took a step forward after receiving a pass from Ronny on the left.
He noticed Su Dong's gesture.
The Sporting Lisbon midfielder was about to pass the ball to the right, but suddenly he dunked the ball back and passed the ball forward.
Su Dong quickly ran out of Soares' defense zone and retreated to the 30-meter area to catch the ball.
Although Soares' attention was focused on Su Dong, by the time he reacted and caught up, Su Dong had already stopped the ball first and turned around quickly.
Soares immediately wanted to stay in position, but the moment Su Dong turned around, he stabbed the ball behind Soares. He stretched out his hand to ward off Soares, and came from the other side.
Quickly sprint forward on one side.
"A beautiful pass!!!"
The scene became excited again.
