i want to be king

Chapter 115 Marseille Roundabout
November [-]th, Lisbon Alvalade Stadium.

The game is about to start.

The players of the two teams set up their positions in the half court.

Su Dong and Ronnie stand in the middle circle, ready to serve at any time.

"After the opening, pass the ball to me as much as possible." Ronnie said eagerly.

As long as Su Dong is on the court, he has a great say in the distribution of the ball in the frontcourt.

Even in many cases, the passers in the midfield, such as Tonito, Joao Pinto and others, watched Su Dong's running position to pass the ball.

This is why many people say that Su Dong is the core of the team's frontcourt offense, and as long as he plays, Sporting Lisbon's offense will be much smoother.

"Lukas Docek is not very good, I am confident to kill him." Ronnie said confidently.

Su Dong smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay, just go ahead!"

Docek is the right back of Slavia Prague, while Ronnie plays left winger tonight, and Quaresma is the right winger.

"By the way, remember, Thomas Herdlika is a left-footed player." Su Dong suddenly remembered and reminded.

Thomas Herdlika and Martin Muller are partnered as central defenders. The former is a 20-year-old teenager and the latter is a 32-year-old veteran. It is very similar to the current combination of Andre Cruz and Pepe in Sporting Lisbon.

But Su Dong always felt that the combination of Andre Cruz and Pepe was much more vigorous than the central defender combination of Slavia Prague.

Especially Pepe, this kid played football like he was desperate.

He was already very fierce in Maritimo before, but now with a veteran like Andre Cruz wiping his ass behind him, he is even more fierce and lawless, frequently pounced on him.

This kid's one-on-one fighting skills are also quite good.

Because of this, after the zero-to-three loss to Vicente, the media's accusations against Boloni focused on two places.

One is Sudong in the frontcourt, and the other is Pepe in the backline.

And tonight, Boloni's tactical arrangement for the team is to attack from the beginning.

The away game was one to three, making it impossible for Sporting Lisbon to be conservative tonight.

…………

…………

With a whistle from the Greek referee Doros, the game officially kicked off.

Su Dong kicked the ball to Ronnie, who quickly knocked back to the defense.

The three players in the frontcourt of Sporting Lisbon all sprinted forward at the fastest speed, and Tonito in the midfield also followed up immediately.

This is currently the best and most powerful attack combination that Sporting Lisbon can produce.

After a few inversions, Albertini sent a long pass to the frontcourt.

Su Dong heard the reminder from his teammates in the midfield and backcourt. When he sprinted forward, he did not forget to look back at the ball path, judged the landing point, seized the best position in time, stopped the ball with his chest, and quickly knocked back to Tonito.

The Spanish midfielder followed up, stopped, sent, and gave a direct pass from the right.

Quaresma quickly cut in along the right, caught up with the ball and made a cross.

But Slavia Prague's left-back caught up in time and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

The ensuing corner created chaos in the box but failed to create a shot.

Sporting's first attack created a threat.

Subsequently, the Green Lions showed no signs of retreating, but continued to press forward.

The opponent's goalkeeper kicked the goal kick with a big foot, but Pepe decisively grabbed it, overwhelmed the opponent's forward, and headed back.

Su Dong took the ball with his back again, blocked the defender with his body, stopped the ball, and tried to turn around. As a result, the opponent fouled decisively and gave Sporting Lisbon a free kick from the perimeter of 30 meters.

Sporting Lisbon quickly sent a free kick and continued to attack.

……

"We can see that Sporting Lisbon played particularly aggressively after the start."

"Su Dong's tactical role in the frontcourt is very obvious. Whether it is the pass from behind or the top of the frontcourt, he has played a key role, which makes him stand out from the crowd on the court."

"But we must also see that Slavia Prague still maintains the stable defense of the first round, but compared to Nikule, their defense is more flexible."

"Obviously, Beranek is very aware of Su Dong's characteristics. He knows that Su Dong has a wide range of activities and it is difficult to limit one-on-one. So he not only allows the two central defenders to attack at any time, but even the midfielder actively rushes to help."

"So, sometimes it looks like three players are double-teaming Sudong."

"The game has just started, and then we will see if Su Dong and Sporting Lisbon can break through the defense of Slavia Prague."

……

The pace of the game is extremely fast.

The ball changed hands back and forth.

Sporting Lisbon took advantage of the home field and suppressed their opponents from the beginning.

Slavia Prague looked passive.

In the first 3 minutes of the game, Sporting Lisbon scored twice into the opponent's penalty area, and the Czech team did not even break into the big penalty area.

Su Dong has been trying to connect with Ronnie, but the other party also knows very well that there is a tacit cooperation between Su Dong and Ronnie, so they are always cutting off the connection between them.

Not only the connection between Sudong and Ronnie, but also the connection between Sudong and Quaresma.

Obviously, Bellanek's targeted defense is to cut off the connection of Sporting Lisbon's front trident and isolate them.

But Su Dong quickly found an opportunity.

Tonito pushed the ball across the center line and quickly passed it to Su Dong.

Su Dong, who was holding the ball with his back, sent the ball directly to the left without letting it linger at his feet.

Ronnie sprints forward along the left line, but Lucas Docek follows him closely inside.

After receiving the ball from the left line, Ronnie could no longer rush forward, so he had to stop suddenly and kick the ball back.

Docek also stopped immediately and followed Ronnie every step of the way.

One on one!

Ronnie was very confident, he kept approaching Docek with the ball, and kept changing fake moves all over his body.

Docek's defense is very stable, and he doesn't take Ronnie's fake moves at all, which makes the Portuguese a little depressed.

When Su Dong saw it, he immediately ran over and raised his hand for the ball.

Ronnie saw the opportunity, and after a fake move opened the gap, he sent the ball out.

He still remembered Su Dong's reminder just now that Thomas Herdlika was a left-footed player.

Soudun faces left, with Herdrika on the right shoulder, and Ronnie plays the ball to his left foot.

Herdlika saw the path of the ball and took a step forward to try to grab the ball, but Su Dong took a step forward with his right foot, blocked the opponent with his body, and lightly pulled the ball with his left foot, slightly changing the direction of the ball and slowing down the speed of the ball.

At the same time, Su Dong turned around and opened his right hand slightly, intending to block Herdlika, while he rushed forward quickly, and immediately dunked the ball into the penalty area with his right foot.

At this time, the left-footed Herdlika basically lost the chance to stop Sudong's defense.

The whole process happens in the blink of an eye.

Everyone on and off the court just saw Su Dong turn around and pull the ball, and got rid of the defender.

"Marseille roundabout!!!"

"Sudong made a Marseille maneuver and got rid of Herdlika's defense."

"Veteran Martin Muller is very experienced. He has been behind to help defend, and stepped forward to make up for the first time."

Su Dong only felt a blur in front of him, and his reaction was extremely fast. He braked suddenly, stopped the ball with his right foot, and turned to the right. After entering the penalty area, he made an emergency stop and changed direction in a very short time.

Martin Muller was also very surprised. He did not expect that the tall and burly Sporting Lisbon center forward was so flexible and the frequency of movements was so fast that when Su Dong took a step away from him, he stabilized his body to block.

But how can there be time?

Su Dong just drove away Martin Muller, and before the other party could react, he caught up with his right foot and shot angrily.

"Barty GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"The ball went in!!!!!!"

"This is Su Dong's iconic goal!"

After Su Dong blasted that angry shot, he rushed out of the court excitedly, clenched his fists and roared non-stop.

"A very exciting attack, the young player from Sporting Lisbon, Su Dong!"

"He made full use of his excellent physical fitness, skilled foot skills, and flexible emergency stop and change of direction, and played with the two central defenders of Slavia Prague. He used a shocking Batty GOL in the penalty area to open the scoring for Sporting Lisbon!"

"One to zero!"

Su Dong flew along the sidelines, listening to the shouts of the fans all the way.

It was his dream treatment.

It was as if he had watched Jardl score against Porto for Sporting Lisbon.

In the end, he leaped high over the billboard and waved his fists at the fans in the stands.

……

In front of the coaching bench of the home team not far behind Su Dong, Boloni looked at the back of Su Dong celebrating with a complex expression, and looked at the Sporting Lisbon players who kept rushing to celebrate his goals. He felt his cheeks on both sides were hot, as if he had been slapped.

Only 4 minute!

Nikulei, whom he trusted, took more than 90 minutes to do something that Su Dong could not do in just 4 minutes.

What can he say?
What more can he say?
In the face of this ironclad fact, any tactical theory and any possibility analysis are useless.

No one will care whether Sudong or Nikulei is stronger, and no one will care whether Nikulei needs help and regains confidence, let alone whether his prestige as a head coach will be shaken.

Everyone only cares about one thing, and that is: Su Dong scored a goal!

Goal in just 4 minutes!

Boloni felt very clearly the pressure and resistance from Sudong.

So far, this kid is unwilling to even take the initiative to talk to him, but he is holding back his energy and constantly working hard on the court.

At this moment, Boloni panicked for the first time.

……

Not far from Boloni, Slavia Prague coach Bernek shook his head in frustration, looking at Su Dong in the celebration crowd, his face was full of disappointment and surprise.

He asked himself to know people with his eyes, and potential rookies rarely escaped his eyes, but this time he still underestimated the strength and performance of this young player.

"This kid is not easy!"
