Pepe was originally positioned behind Soares, ready to fill in at any time, but unexpectedly, Soares was easily turned around by Su Dong and returned the ball. This was completely beyond his expectation.
Unexpected.
The Brazilian central defender roared angrily and chased after him as quickly as possible.
After Su Dong passed Soares, he stepped forward and caught up with the ball outside the top area of the penalty area.
At this time, Pepe had already chased from the side, and was half a body ahead of Su Dong. Behind him on the left was Soares, who was desperately chasing after him. He reached out and pulled Su Dong's jersey, trying to slow down Su Dong.
.
If you continue to move forward, you must be double-teamed by Pepe and Soares.
Su Dong made a prompt decision and dunked the ball to his right with his right foot at the top of the arc, avoiding Pepe and Soares.
Pepe also reacted very quickly. As soon as he saw Su Dong smashing the ball to the right, he immediately guessed what he wanted to do.
I saw that the Brazilian central defender did not hesitate at all, fell directly to the ground, slid and tackled, and went straight to Su Dong.
Su Dong's reaction was one step faster. As soon as he adjusted the ball, he quickly raised his right foot and fired a furious shot.
The ball stuck to the grass and penetrated into the lower right corner of Maritimo's goal at an extremely fast speed.
Almost as soon as the ball flew out, Pepe's sliding tackle came in front of Su Dong and stepped on his right shoe, which made him lose his center of gravity and fell to the penalty spot.
On Pepe.
The two people fell into a ball.
"goallllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"
"In the 87th minute, Su Dong scored Maritimo's goal."
"Two to two!!"
“Sporting Lisbon equalized the score!”
Su Dong heard the exclamations from the entire stadium, and the surprise of Sporting Lisbon fans filled every corner of the Alvalade Stadium.
He knew immediately that he had scored!
Su Dong struggled to get up from the ground, clenched his fists with all his strength, and roared at Pepe who was still lying on the ground, venting his useless anger since the second half.
Pepe was so angry that he beat the grass hard, as if he wanted to mistake the grass for Su Dong and beat him to death.
"Awesome! Su, you scored!"
"This goal is so beautiful!"
"Let those blind guys take a good look, no one can stop you!"
Ronnie once again jumped on Su Dong's body, celebrating with bared teeth and claws. He was a thousand times happier than he was when he scored a goal, especially in front of Pepe.
Pepe got up from the ground with red eyes, glaring at Su Dong and Ronnie with gnashing teeth, which made people worried that he would lose control and rush forward to take action.
"Pepe." Soares ran over to block Pepe.
The Brazilian central defender pushed his partner away, turned around and left.
He is now full of anger because he froze Su Dong for the entire second half, only to be undone by his teammates' mistakes. In the end, not only did he lose face, but he also caused the team to lose the ball and suffered a draw with the opponent.
This is the tie in the final stage of the game!
In the single-elimination Portuguese Cup, this means that the two sides will enter a tough overtime.
"md!tmd!!!!" Pepe was so angry that he almost went crazy.
…
"This is Sporting Lisbon's player number 36, Su Dong!"
"Scoring goals in three consecutive games is simply unbelievable for a 17-year-old player."
"What's even more incredible is that all three goals were crucial."
"The first two goals brought six precious points to Sporting Lisbon, and tonight's goal tied the score in the 87th minute and dragged the game into overtime. How disappointing it is.
Incredible performance!”
"Su Dong is simply the key player in this Sporting Lisbon team!"
…
The fans in the stands were shouting Su Dong's name crazily.
Although Su Dong did not run out of the field to celebrate, this did not prevent the fans at the scene from admiring him at all.
Scored goals in three consecutive games, each goal is of amazing value.
Who doesn't love such a young player?
After celebrating, Su Dong turned around and walked back to his own half. When passing by Soares, he noticed the confusion and confusion in the eyes of Maritimo central defender, and he was secretly amused.
Soares must be wondering now, how could he be deceived so easily by Su Dong just now?
Of course, Su Dong would not tell him that he used a prop called [Deception Orb].
This cost him 10,000 penalty points.
Let him guess!
Su Dong was in a very good mood.
…………
…………
The ninety-minute regular match ended in a tie at 2-2.
Su Dong's goal in the 87th minute saved Sporting Lisbon and sent the game into overtime.
There is a five-minute rest period before overtime, but players cannot leave the field and can only relax and rest on the field.
Although he came on as a substitute, Su Dong played for nearly fifty minutes. Facing a guy like Pepe with an almost abnormal body, the exhaustion was very shocking. When he walked to the sidelines, he was out of breath.
Before every game, he would exchange some Manniu sports drinks from the Football King's Road system, claiming that they were drinks brought back from the motherland by someone else. After being tested by the team doctor, he was allowed to bring them into the stadium.
So Su Dong walked to the sidelines, grabbed two bottles of Man Bull sports drinks, one in each hand, threw them to Ronnie and Ugo Viana, and then threw another bottle to Cruz.
All three of them often train with Su Dong, and they have all seen the unique effects of this magical drink, so they are all obsessed with it.
Sporting Lisbon is accustomed to this. Anyway, the club does not have a beverage sponsor. You can drink whatever you like, as long as you can pass the urine test after the game and do not violate the regulations.
…
"Overtime is a battle of wills."
"In this thirty-minute game, all tactics will not be of much use. The key is up to you."
Head coach Bologni briefly introduced the overtime game.
The break was only five minutes, so he didn't have much time to emphasize tactics and adjustments.
Today's overtime matches use the golden goal system.
The so-called golden goal system means that whoever scores the goal first will end the game completely and does not need to play the entire game.
The purpose of FIFA's golden goal system is to encourage the two teams in overtime to actively participate in the offense, but it actually has the opposite effect.
The reason is very simple. Attacking will mess up the formation, which will bring about the hidden danger of being counterattacked. As soon as the ball is counterattacked or the ball is lost, the game will be over immediately, without even a chance to make up for the mistake.
Therefore, in this case, teams participating in overtime often do not take the initiative to press forward.
"My only request for you now is to maintain the team's tactical discipline and reasonably allocate physical energy within thirty minutes. I will not ask you to actively engage in offense. I even hope that you will look for opportunities through long passes.
It's about managing risk on the pitch."
Everyone knows it.
The implication of the head coach is, don't risk your life against the opponent, it's not worth it.
It took a lot of effort to equalize the score. Even if it is dragged into a penalty shootout, Sporting Lisbon's chance of winning is still higher than Maritimo. In this case, why take the risk and try to score a goal?
To put it bluntly, the most important thing in overtime is to ensure that you don't concede the ball.
Whether he scores a goal or not, let it be.
"Su, you are still at the front and receive the long pass from behind."
The only person assigned to Boloni is center Su Dong.
"I understand." Su Dong nodded.
"Everyone grabs the ball and passes the ball directly to the center. Do you understand?"
"Understood!" Everyone agreed in unison.
…………
…………
At the beginning of the overtime, both teams played very conservatively.
The pace was much slower than the regular 90-minute game just now.
The physical energy of the players on both sides has been exhausted, and they have basically reached their limit. No one is willing to take risks easily.
Sudong only played for half of the game, and Ronnie and Hugo Viana only played for 30 minutes. The three of them still maintained their physical fitness well, especially during the five minutes of rest.
The physical recovery speed it brings is even faster than others.
This kind of increase, which is very inconspicuous on weekdays, plays a huge role at such a critical moment.
Sporting Lisbon's three young players were active.
In a dull and boring way, the two teams ended the first half of overtime.
What's interesting is that neither side even had a shot.
There was no intermission, and after the two sides exchanged venues, they directly entered the second half of overtime.
The scene is still lackluster.
Sporting Lisbon's midfield and backcourt are basically all experienced veterans, and they are more comfortable dealing with this kind of scene. The overall formation is kept very compact, leaving no room for the opponent.
On the contrary, Su Dong and Ronnie in front are still running very actively and their physical fitness is relatively good.
In the 113th minute of overtime, Ronnie dribbled the ball to the left of the midfield and tried to force a breakthrough, but the ball was intercepted.
Maritimo immediately launched a counterattack.
Perhaps because he had been holding back for more than a hundred minutes, Maritimo's counterattack was relatively advanced this time.
However, all players were physically exhausted and made mistakes when passing and receiving the ball.
Ronnie, who actively defended, poked the ball away from behind.
The opponent signaled the referee and Ronnie committed a foul from behind, but the referee did not blow the whistle.
After Ugo Viana grabbed the ball, he immediately sent a quick long pass directly behind the opponent's defense.
Following Ugo Viana's pass, everyone's eyes fell on Maritimo's half.
I saw two figures entangled together, chasing the ball quickly towards the landing spot.
Su Dong desperately tried to get rid of Pepe, but the Brazilian central defender clung to him.
Even when he rushed to the thirty-meter area, Su Dong staggered and was almost pulled down by Pepe.
Su Dong's body balance is very good, he quickly stabilized his figure and still occupied a favorable position.
At this moment, Maritimo's goalkeeper Nelson accidentally abandoned the goal and rushed to the penalty spot.
Pepe immediately realized the danger and pulled Su Dong hard with both hands.
This time he was no longer trying to defend, he simply wanted to pull Su Dong down even if he committed a foul.
Su Dong lost his balance and reacted quickly. He kicked out his right foot first and hit the ball in mid-air.
The ball was lifted high by Su Dong, passed the attacking goalkeeper Nelson, and fell to the goal behind him.
Su Dong, on the other hand, was pulled down by Pepe and fell to the line of the penalty area.
