Ronnie was sitting on the bench, and the apparently comfortable seat under his butt seemed to be covered with spikes for some reason, making him feel on pins and needles and unwilling to stay for a moment longer.
He kept looking up, either at the scoreboard, or at the coaching bench, or at the court, or...
Anyway, at this moment, the boy from Madeira Island has two words written all over his face: anxious.
The game had passed seventy minutes earlier, and the score was still one to zero.
With Su Dong's goal at the end of the first half, Sporting Lisbon temporarily took the lead.
But Porto's counterattack was also extremely fierce, especially the frontcourt led by Deco, which brought huge disaster to Sporting Lisbon's defense, forcing Boloni to make repeated substitutions and adjustments.
The previous two substitutions were all to strengthen the midfield and defense.
This included replacing João Pinto with Hugo Viana, which made Sporting Lisbon look like a four-three-three on the court, with a three-midfielder tactic in the midfield.
Ronnie looked at the time on the scoreboard and jumped to seventy-three minutes. He finally couldn't help it anymore.
After walking out of the bench, Ronnie seemed to be warming up, but slowly moved to the back of the coaching bench.
"Boss, we're running out of time, when will I come?" Ronnie leaned over and asked, licking his face.
Boloni, Pontes and others were a little surprised when they heard the voice behind them. When they turned around and saw it was Ronnie, they were dumbfounded.
"Don't worry, be patient." Boloni said speechlessly.
"I'm very patient. It's already seventy-three minutes now. If I wait any longer, there will only be garbage time left."
Why doesn't Boloni understand?
But the problem is that the game situation is very tense now. Sporting Lisbon has retreated almost entirely, leaving Jardel alone in front. Even Sudong and Quaresma frequently return to defense.
Substitution at this time, also replaced by Ronnie?
"Boss, you promised me that you would give me playing time, and you couldn't keep your word." Ronnie reminded confidently that this was the promise given to him by the head coach before the game.
Of course Boloni would not deny it, "Don't worry, don't worry, I will remember it."
"The situation is unclear now, and Su Dong needs me very much." Ronnie reminded.
"Ah?" Boloni was a little surprised.
Even Pontes found it funny. Isn't this a lame reason?
"Really, if you think about it, Su Dong is fighting alone on the field. Quaresma and he have no tacit understanding, but I am different. We can both find each other with our eyes closed. Do you think he needs me very much?"
?”
Boloni and Pontes looked at each other, as if it made sense.
"Also, look at Jader. He can't run anymore. He's breathing like he's about to die. Leaving him on the court won't do any good. You might as well replace me."
When Pontes heard this, he couldn't help covering his face and burst out laughing.
It's very inappropriate, but really funny.
Boloni couldn't help but smile, "Are you sure you are dating his sister?"
"One yard for the other, boss, I'm only thinking about the team winning and winning the championship." Ronnie said righteously.
"I'm going to tell Jardel." Pontes smiled.
Ronnie gave him a threatening look, as if to say, if you dare to say it, I will tell you to look good.
However, Ronnie was indeed right.
Jardel's physical fitness is indeed no longer good.
Even though he is only 29 years old, he has been affected by many injuries this season. Especially during this period, his physical condition has obviously declined a lot, and he has not even been able to play the entire game in many games.
A substitution is indeed necessary, but can it be replaced by Ronnie?
Boloni looked at the Madeira genius with some worry, "Okay, you go and warm up."
"Really?" Ronnie jumped up immediately, "No, I don't need to warm up, I'm ready anytime, anywhere."
Boloni and Pontes looked at each other again, both feeling funny.
This kid is really out of his depth, especially to play.
"Let's talk about it first. It's okay for you to go up, but you have to agree to one thing." Boloni said seriously.
"Okay, you say."
"After you get up there, don't stick to the ball."
"No problem, I've never been very fond of balls."
"Don't waste time."
"I'm not a prostitute! How could I be a prostitute?" Ronnie replied amusingly.
Boloni was completely speechless.
You still don’t stick to the ball, and you still don’t waste money?
But he still sent Ronnie to the sidelines and asked him to replace Jadel, who was almost physically exhausted.
Among the players sitting on the bench of Sporting Lisbon, only Ronnie has the strongest attack power and the fastest speed. In this situation, he is the most threatening in counterattack.
Boloni knows very well that facing Porto, if the frontcourt counterattack cannot be carried out, the defense will be very dangerous.
…………
…………
"No. 28, Cristiano Ronaldo, enter!"
"No. 16, Jardel, exit!"
Following the broadcast in the stadium, Ronnie, who had been waiting on the sidelines for a long time, was already gearing up.
When Jader came running panting from the court, he couldn't wait to greet him.
"Hey, kid, don't be lazy, you know?" Jardel reminded.
Ronnie's relationship with his sister is growing day by day, and by the way, Jadel is becoming more and more fond of him.
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Ronnie said confidently.
Sprinting quickly all the way into the stadium, Ronnie rushed directly to the frontcourt.
"Su." Ronnie stretched out his right hand towards Su Dong from a distance.
Su Dong gave him a high five and hugged him.
"The boss said, you are in front, Quaresma and I will pass the ball to you, just like we did in training, play faster when counterattacking, try to seize the opportunity, and teach them a lesson." Ronnie said eagerly.
.
After finally getting on the field, he didn't want to end up with nothing.
"Also, score a goal for me."
"ah?"
Ronnie walked over and secretly pulled up his jersey, only to see a white vest inside, which seemed to have writing on it.
"I've even written the jersey to show my love."
This kid smiled so brightly that his white teeth were exposed, and he was obviously in a good mood.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you, but you have to control yourself and don't be too reckless!"
Ronnie was very depressed. Why did everyone tell him to stop wandering?
Is he a prostitute?
no!
…
Ronnie's first touch of the ball came from the backcourt.
When he was holding the ball with his back on the left side, he tried to force a breakthrough, but was knocked down by a Porto player and tackled.
The man was fine, the ball was lost.
But soon, he took the ball on the left side again.
This time, he and Su Dong cooperated very tacitly to complete a wall-hitting style, then drove the ball straight into the left side of Porto's penalty area, facing two defensive players alone, and just brought the ball into the penalty area.
This time, the ball passed, but Keren was caught by two opposing defensive players.
Subsequently, Sporting Lisbon created a one-on-one opportunity on the left.
Ronnie faced Segretario on the left side of the penalty area and almost broke the Portuguese international's waist. He successfully broke through and passed the ball, but the last pass was too floaty!
Su Dong sprinted all the way to the center, only to find that the cross was passed directly out of the right side of the penalty area. He was also speechless.
"Brother, I'm here!" Su Dong shouted.
Ronnie waved awkwardly.
Boloni, Pontes, Jardel and others on the sidelines all had expressions of dismay on their faces.
This guy still has this kind of virtue!
It’s both wavy and sticky.
But I have to say that after Ronnie came on the field, Sporting Lisbon's offense improved to a certain extent, especially on the left.
The trident combination of Ronnie, Sudong and Quaresma has been practiced by Boloni in the past week in preparation for the game.
Su Donglai is mainly responsible for leading the offensive direction, while Ronnie and Quaresma are tasked with dribbling and breakthrough.
Boloni immediately walked to the sidelines and shouted at Ronnie on the court, telling him to stop sticking to the ball. At the same time, he also called out Su Dong, asking him to actively take the ball and stop giving it to Ronnie all the time.
.
"This kid is like a monkey. If you don't control him, he will go to heaven." Pontes laughed at Boloni who was walking back.
Boloni nodded in agreement, "But he is indeed very active."
If you can really carry it with you and bring the game to the end, that would be a good thing.
More importantly, the trident of three young players in the frontcourt is very fast with the ball, especially Ronnie who has just come on. Mourinho cannot help but be wary of him.
As long as there are some flaws in Porto's defense, Sporting Lisbon may create a second goal.
…
The game was going on in this dumbfounding atmosphere.
The fans at the scene sometimes exclaimed in anticipation and sometimes sighed in disappointment.
Ronnie still shows the coexistence of an angel and a devil, but he works very hard, running and covering at all costs, looking for and creating opportunities.
Su Dong's physical exertion was also very high because he was only seventeen years old.
He couldn't run as hard as he did at the beginning, he had to think more.
The same goes for Quaresma, who also played the entire game, but he was also a little overwhelmed.
So, gradually, Porto once again pushed Sporting Lisbon back to half-time.
It seems that the situation changed after Ronnie came on as a substitute and was reversed by Porto.
But at this moment, Sporting Lisbon suddenly completed a steal near the midline of their own half.
Quaresma took the first step and poked the ball across the center line, accelerated to catch up, and sent the ball to the back right of the defense line with another kick.
Su Dong also started in an instant, catching up with the ball as quickly as possible, and when he entered the thirty-meter area, he controlled the ball at his feet and drove the ball straight into Porto's penalty area.
Carvalho returned to defense in time and ran over to intercept Su Dong immediately.
But Su Dong didn't wait for him to get close, and after a sudden stop and a fake move, he seemed to be cutting in laterally, but in fact he suddenly pushed the ball towards the bottom line, and then accelerated to catch up again and passed the ball across to the edge of the small penalty area.
At this moment, Ronnie penetrated Porto's defense like lightning and reached the edge of the small penalty area. Facing Su Dongxin's cross pass, he seemed to see the goal waving to him in front of him!
Goal, here I come!
But when Ronnie hit the ball with a straight shot with his right foot, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Ruined!
He only cared about looking cool and didn’t control the ball!
Everyone in the audience had their glasses shattered.
Sporting Lisbon fans had already rushed out of their seats and were about to celebrate; Boloni, Pontes and others, as well as their teammates on the bench, had already rushed out, and even the referee had raised his hand, ready to signal a goal.
It worked...
But the ball was hit too high!
Su Dong looked sympathetically at Ronnie, who was hitting his head on the ground in the penalty area, and shook his head helplessly.
I told you not to waste time!
