Just after the pre-match preparation meeting, Boloni called out to Su Dong again.
Everyone is used to it and is not surprised.
During the training camp in the past week, Su Dong was the player who was reprimanded the most and had the most stringent requirements by the head coach.
And now, everyone knows that this is all for tonight.
"Brother, I'll wait for you outside."
Ronnie stood up, patted Su Dong's shoulder enviously, and smiled.
Barbosa, Andre Cruz and Jardel also patted Su Dong encouragingly or nodded to him.
Sporting Lisbon's first team still recognizes Su Dong's performance. The strength may not be outstanding, but at least the tactical effect is obvious. He came on the bench in four consecutive games to help the team win. Su Dong's effect is obvious to all.
Besides, four games, four goals, two assists, this data, apart from Jardel, even Niculai, who performed well in the first half of the season and is regarded as a direct lineage of coach Boloni, would not dare to
Talk about stabilizing Su Dong's head.
Nowadays, what really limits Su Dong is age, as well as the physical confrontation and lack of experience brought by age.
But when it comes to tonight, they all still agree.
…
After all his teammates left, Su Dong walked up to head coach Boloni and Pontes.
"Su, you will be tonight. I didn't check it carefully. I don't know if you are the youngest player in the Portuguese Cup final, but I still want to congratulate you." Boloni said with a smile.
He still hopes to relieve Su Dong's pressure as much as possible.
"Thank you, boss." Su Dong took a breath and wanted to relax, but couldn't.
Perhaps, after tonight's game is over, he can truly relax for a while.
"Just like in normal training, remember what I said, be brave, be confident, show your strength, control the scene and rhythm, especially when the ball reaches the frontcourt, your task is to run into the gap
Just catch the ball everywhere, and then find a way to move the ball to where you think there's a threat."
This set of tactics has been practiced many times in the past week, and Su Dong has long been familiar with it.
Boloni drew some of Su Dong's activity areas on a sketch. His task was to retreat behind Jardel, receive the ball from the midfield, wing and backcourt, and then transfer the ball out.
Therefore, his area of activity is not restricted, and he mostly moves between Porto's defense and midfield.
"If we are not wrong, Mourinho's formation should still focus on stability. The 3-5-2 formation is the one they have used most recently, mainly because they lack reliable full-backs."
Porto has a strong lineup and actually does not lack outstanding defenders. However, after Mourinho tried to put out the fire, he tried several times and was not satisfied with several full-backs and central defenders. For example, Argentina right back Hugo Ibarra was not satisfied with his tactics because of his tactics.
The issue of adaptation was completely relegated to the sidelines.
There is also left back Mario Silva, who has also lost his main position. High school defender Ricardo Silva has been suppressed by Carvalho and Andrade and has no chance to play this season.
The famous veteran Jorge Costa even transferred directly during the winter break.
Mourinho's most trusted defense now is Andrade, Carvalho and Carlos Segretario.
These three defenders are currently the best in Portugal. Needless to say, Andrade is the second youngest international central defender in the history of the national team. Although Carvalho and Segretario were not selected for the World Cup squad, their strength is not outstanding.
underestimate.
Among them, Segretario once played for Real Madrid but performed poorly.
At that time, Real Madrid coach Capello once publicly criticized him in the media, thinking that he was very active in training, but it was a disaster when he came on the field because he really couldn't play football at all!
But being able to join Real Madrid is in itself a proof of strength.
These three defenders all have one characteristic in common, that is, they are short.
"The main purpose of the 3-5-2 formation is to suppress our midfielder, but on the other hand, their side defense in the backcourt will be very problematic, especially for high balls. You and Jardel both have advantages. As long as you make good use of this,
We can win this game!"
"In this game, we are playing 4-4-2. The midfielder needs to restrict Deco. The task of connecting and connecting will be left to you."
Deco is the best-performing midfielder in the Portuguese Super League this season. If it weren't for Jardel, he would probably be the best-performing player in the Portuguese Super League. He is also the core of Porto's midfield. No one dares to be careless.
"I will definitely do it well!" Su Dong solemnly promised.
Boloni looked at Su Dong deeply, nodded, and patted his left shoulder vigorously to show encouragement.
Pontes also had mixed feelings in his heart.
In the six months since Su Dong came to Sporting Lisbon, his situation has changed too fast.
It was so fast that he didn't expect it.
"Come on!" Pontes had a thousand words in his heart, which finally came together into two words.
After Su Dong high-fived him, he hugged the coach who was also a teacher and friend, smiled, and then waved goodbye.
The moment he walked out of the conference room, he was facing the rising sun in the east. It was releasing its light and heat unscrupulously, making everyone feel its warmth and greatness.
…………
…………
As night falls, Oeiras, a small town west of Lisbon, is extremely lively and noisy.
Fans from all over Portugal, especially the two major cities of Porto and Lisbon, flocked to this town.
They are all here for the upcoming Portuguese Cup final.
The venue for the final, the Portuguese National Stadium, is located in the heart of the town, at the Chemore Sports Complex in Poetas Park.
Poetas means poet in Portuguese, and this park lives up to its name.
Portugal's land area is not large. Although Porto is in the north, like Sporting Lisbon, they arrived at Oeiras at the right time and entered the stadium for warm-up training in accordance with the arrangements of the Portuguese Football Association.
Tonight, after playing the game, they will return to Porto overnight.
The fans of the two teams each occupied half of the stadium, and their numbers and momentum seemed to be evenly matched.
During pre-match training, neither team showed anything real.
After all, by this time, everything that should be practiced and prepared has already been prepared.
This kind of thing is not feasible in football matches.
The entire pre-match preparation process was carried out in an orderly manner, and there were no unexpected twists and turns.
It wasn't until the players from both teams finished training and returned to the locker room that Mourinho was surprised for the first time when he received Sporting Lisbon's lineup.
…
"Su Dong is here!"
Sitting in the coaching area of the locker room, Mourinho frowned, surprised by this situation.
"This is not in line with Boloni's usual military habits. He has always been very stable." Boas was also surprised.
Boloni is not that unrestrained Latin school, let alone a fan of offensive football. He comes from Romania in Eastern Europe. Pragmatism is his greatest advantage. He values records and order, and pursues soundness in technique and tactics. This is Boloni's coaching style.
This is also the reason why players like Quaresma always have inconsistent attendance under Bologni.
Goalkeeper Nelson, defense Rui Jorge, Andre Cruz, Phil Babb and Queiroga, midfielder Joao Pinto, Paulo Bento, Barbosa and Quare
Sima, double forward Jardel and Su Dong.
From the perspective of the lineup, Boloni still seeks stability. Paulo Indigene and Barbosa sit in the midfield at the same time, just to restrict Deco, but this also sacrifices Hugo Viana.
"Bologni is really not a good gambler!" Mourinho shook his head and laughed.
No gambler would reveal his or her own cards when the table is first opened.
But Mourinho's smile was still a bit forced, because the most unstable factor for Porto in this game was Su Dong, a young player who suddenly emerged late in the season.
Porto's lineup is three-five-two.
The goalkeeper is Baia, the defense is Carvalho, Andrade and Segretario, the midfielder is Costinha and Frederik Soderstrom forming a double midfielder, Deco suddenly
Previously, Alenichev and Capucho were on the wings, with South African forward McCarthy and Brazilian forward Creighton forming a double forward.
Pena, who shined last season, and Postiga, who is known as the most outstanding talented striker of Portugal's new generation, have failed. Among them, Pena has completely lost his style as the top scorer, and he has also lost Mourinho's.
trust.
…
"Sporting Lisbon is in a hurry!"
Mourinho walked among the players, took out Sporting Lisbon's lineup, and kept shaking it in his hand.
"Look, even the seventeen-year-old youngster has been discharged. Does Bologni want to give us a hand? Or is he trying to break the pot?"
At the end of the sentence, Mourinho himself started laughing.
Porto's players also started to cheer, even if it didn't work, they would smile.
To rank a seventeen-year-old in this kind of competition is truly unbelievable.
"Obviously, our opponents can no longer come up with new tricks, so Bologna can only rely on surprise players and luck."
Mourinho waved his hand with great confidence, "But I never believe in luck. If there is really such a thing as luck in this world, it must be in the hands of stronger people like us!"
As soon as he said these words, the mood of the players in the locker room obviously became different.
Villas-Boas next to him also looked at Mourinho with admiration. He felt that the head coach was a natural instigator and could always boost the morale and fighting spirit of the team with just one or two words.
"In tonight's game, you only need to do three things."
Mourinho stretched out his right hand and pointed a finger, "First, control Jardel and keep him away from the dangerous area."
Then he compared the second one and said, "Second, reduce Su Dong's possession of the ball. He will foul when he should foul and disrupt his rhythm. It is best to let him experience the cruelty of the Portuguese Cup final." Mourinho said at the end, another
Smiling pointedly.
"Finally, Deco, our offense will be left to you!"
Deco nodded solemnly in agreement.
"After coming on the field, don't hold back, just press forward from the midfield. We are going to show the new Portuguese Super League champion tonight!"
"good!"
