I Want to Be the King of Football

In my opinion, Sudong is one of the most promising young players in the Portuguese Super League. If possible, I would be very happy to bring him to Porto at a reasonable or even higher price. He is a very difficult player to make. Young players who are rejected.

Mourinho publicly expressed his favor for Sudong in an interview with a reporter from the Portuguese Morning Post.

At the same time, the Morning Post also issued a news that Porto asked Sporting Lisbon about the possibility of introducing Sudong, on the grounds that Mourinho was very interested in the 17-year-old.

Sporting Lisbon also quickly gave feedback.

First, technical director Aurelio Pereira came forward and said in an interview with the media, We have not received any inquiries from the team about Sudong, and we have no idea of ​​selling Sudong.

Aurelio also elaborated on Sudong's position in Sporting Lisbon's strategy for the new season, believing that he will be the focus of the club's training. He will become the best young player in Portugal and even European football here.

Later, the head coach Boloni also publicly stated that Sudong plays an important role in his tactics and plans for the new season, Porto wants to get Sudong? I don't think there is any possibility of this.

Even if Mourinho is willing to exchange Deco, I would still choose to keep Sudong without hesitation.

The technical director and head coach came forward one after another, which convinced everyone of Su Dong's status and future in Sporting Lisbon.

Even many professionals have analyzed that in Sporting Lisbon's new season strategy, Su Dong's status has surpassed Quaresma and Ronnie, becoming the veritable number one rookie in the Green Lions team.

But what no one knows is that during the intense preparations at the Alcochete training base, Su Dong became the player who roared the most in Boloni. The Romanian head coach even stopped training many times and called Su Dong to the sidelines to teach him a lesson. G.

The severity is even a little suspicious, is he deliberately targeting Su Dong?

...

Su, you could have handled the ball better a few times just now, why are you hesitating?

Boloni again called to stop training, called Su Dong to the sidelines, and reprimanded loudly.

You need to make yourself more courageous and confident, I'm not asking you to play well with your teammates, but to take control of the situation, you know what I mean? Use your control! Be confident, man!

Boloni looked a little excited, obviously not very satisfied with Su Dong's performance in training.

Su Dong kept nodding his head. He could understand what Boloni meant, but it was difficult to execute it properly on the court.

On the one hand, his own concept has not changed, and he still lacks confidence in himself. On the other hand, it is also because the teammates around him are all people who once made him stand up.

For example, Jardel, Joao Pinto and Barbosa, etc., no matter how bad it is, there are geniuses such as Quaresma and Ronnie.

How about, with such a person as a teammate, Su Dong wants to control the overall situation?

Watching Su Dong turn and run back to the training ground, Boloni shook his head and sighed.

I think you're too demanding of him, Pontes said.

Boloni turned his head and glanced at his assistant. He knew the relationship between Pontes and Su Dong. Even Su Dong followed Pontes' car to and from the training base every day. The two had a close relationship.

I know, but I don't have time. Boloni was a little helpless.

If it is in the summer training period, he has a lot of time to slowly polish his tactics and slowly build up Su Dong's self-confidence.

But not now, the Portuguese Cup final is imminent, he has no time to adjust slowly, he must force Su Dong to adapt to his new role faster, instead of treating himself as a fledgling rookie.

You know, Lionel,

Quaresma and Ronnie are too sticky with the ball. We can all see their ability on the wing. If they can play it, then our frontcourt offense will be fully activated.

Pontes agrees with this statement, even in the Portuguese super senior team, Quaresma and Ronnie have the strength to stand out from the crowd.

But the problem is that these two guys are too sticky to the ball, fancy, seriously slowing down the rhythm, and not very valuable in actual combat, which causes Sporting Lisbon's offense to often stop at their feet.

In the past, Boloni did not dare to use them to start at the same time, because Jardel and Nikulei and others did not have the ability to hold the ball, but now it is different. Su Dong is proficient in passing, controlling and shooting. Controlling the attack in the frontcourt is undoubtedly the ideal, and it has been confirmed in the past few games.

I understand what you mean, but you have to understand, he's only seventeen years old and he's only played four games in the first team. Is it appropriate for you to put such a heavy burden on him all at once? Pontes There are still objections.

Boloni saw the resolute look on Pontes' face, and he also knew that it was really inappropriate for him to do this. In Chinese words, it was a little helpless. After all, Su Dong was really just a fledgling rookie.

Do you know what my impression of Su Dong is? Boloni asked without answering.

Pontes shook his head, he couldn't understand the head coach's thoughts.

He's like a mystery, a huge, unpredictable mystery.

Boloni sighed softly: Remember, when he joined the team in December last year, did you ever think that he could have the performance he is today?

Pontes pondered for a moment and shook his head to indicate no.

At that time, even those who were optimistic and had high hopes for Su Dong would never have imagined that he would be able to perform as he is today.

Have you noticed? His skills have improved a lot from half a year ago, his sense of the ball is much better, and his stopping is also getting better and better. This is not common sense. He should have missed that kind of skill and sense of improvement. He is old, but you see, he has been making rapid progress.

There is a general consensus in professional football that ball sense and skills can be maintained and improved through training, but everyone will have an upper limit, which is commonly known as the upper limit of talent.

Reaching the upper limit of talent, even if the player persists in 24 hours of hard training every day, it will be difficult to make further progress.

Especially when the player has missed the best age to build his skills and feel.

Just like Ronnie, training hard enough?

His stopping technique is not good, and he improves extremely slowly no matter how he practices.

But Su Dong looks like an outlier.

At the age of seventeen, he had already missed the best age to develop his skills and sense of the ball. No matter how much he practices, his improvement is limited, but Su Dong still maintains an amazing speed of progress, and he still looks so unfathomable. One cannot see where his upper limit is.

So, Boloni said, Sudong is like a huge, unpredictable mystery.

He has the body, the technique, the speed, and at the same time he has a very keen sense of smell to seize the momentary opportunity. I have never seen such a player, and it was something I couldn't believe before.

Boloni spoke with surprise and admiration in his tone.

I want to give it a try now. If the attack in the frontcourt is organized around Su Dong, how much energy can he exert? Can he do things that others can't do?

Pontes was a little stunned. He saw that Boloni had high hopes for Su Dong, even a little beyond his imagination, but...

I still think you're in a hurry.

Maybe. Boloni sighed helplessly. Pro football never waits for anyone. Sometimes it's not necessarily a bad thing to be in a hurry. I believe he can handle it.

Speaking of the end, Boloni's eyes were fixed on Su Dong on the court.

In the mind of the Romanian head coach, Su Dong has continuously brought him surprises. He believes that in this final against Porto, Su Dong will not disappoint him.

As for why he had such confidence, he didn't know.

...

Have you noticed that the coach seems to be a little deliberately targeting you?

By the end of a day of training, everyone was exhausted.

Su Dong and Ronnie walked to the sideline side by side, and they would continue to stay and practice.

He has high demands on me. Su Dong looked at Boloni, who was standing on the sidelines in the distance.

Yeah, I just think he's asking too much of you, it's more like he's deliberately making things difficult. Ronnie was very upset for his good brother, because Su Dong was called out and trained on the sidelines several times.

Don't worry, I'm fine. Su Dong patted Ronnie on the shoulder and comforted him in return.

Su Dong didn't know what to say, he had a faint feeling that Boloni was testing him.

Perhaps, the head coach is no longer satisfied with just treating himself as a surprise soldier, or perhaps the head coach hopes that he can do more and better and take more responsibilities.

And no matter what, this is a good thing for Su Dong.

The opportunity is given, and it is up to Su Dong to seize it or not.

Perhaps the most important game of the season for him is the upcoming final.

…………

…………

In the next few days, Sporting Lisbon continued to prepare for closed games in Alcochete.

The content of preparations is similar to usual. The biggest difference is that when training in groups, Su Dong is basically in the main team, and he is a regular partner with Jardel as a double striker.

The four-four-two double-forward play style is no stranger to Sporting Lisbon, because during the first half of the team's rapid progress, Boloni insisted on the double-forward tactics of Jardel and Nikulei, and the offensive was like a wave.

Only now, just replaced Nikulei with Su Dong.

Everyone has no objection to this. After all, Su Dong's performance is obvious to all. The only surprise is why Boloni is so harsh to Su Dong?

Gradually, as the final approached, the players of the first team gradually felt Boloni's intentions.

Especially in the group match the day before the final, when Boloni rarely changed his four-three-three style of play, he won Jardel, and when Su Dong, Ronnie and Quaresma formed a trident, everyone was clearly aware. To the head coach's thinking.

It turns out that they all guessed right.

On the morning of the final, Boloni announced to the players the starting lineup for the night's game.

Su Dong is on the list!
