I Want to Be the King of Football

Chapter 74: Tonight, you are dead!

   "Maritimo has never been a fuel-efficient lamp."

   In front of the head team coach, Boloni shook his head disappointedly, disappointed by the situation on the court.

"Although the old fox Nello Vengada has been coaching in the Portuguese national youth team, he is still very capable, especially in the season from 1997 to 1998. England coach Souness coached Benfica. He was hired. As an assistant coach, that year had a great influence on his coaching style."

   Pontes, as an assistant, is also very knowledgeable about the situation in Portuguese football. Naturally, he is no stranger to a coach like Nello Vengada.

"Although Souness's coaching experience was not successful, he was the captain of the peak Liverpool team in the 1980s, and then he has succeeded in the Soviet Union and the Premier League, especially his strong 80s. The style of the Liverpool dynasty in the era has a great influence on Nello Vengada, as can be seen from the Maritimo he coached."

   The style is tough and sturdy, this is the style of Souness leading the team, and it is also the style of the current Maritimo.

   This should be why Wenjiada appreciates Pepe.

   When talking about this, Pontes turned his head and glanced at Boloni, thought about it, and said: "In fact, this kind of game is not suitable for Su Dong, after all, he is still young, only seventeen years old."

Boloni turned his head and glanced at his assistant deeply, then smiled helplessly and said: "Don't worry, Lionel, even if I really lose, I won't let a 17-year-old substitute player lose. A trace of responsibility."

   In the last three games, the reason why Su Dong’s bench has been arranged one after another is because, in the final analysis, Sporting Lisbon’s bench is not strong enough.

Nikole is still recovering from his injury, Narizis has not been able to integrate into the team for a long time, and his performance is not ideal. On the contrary, Su Dong has turned the situation around for two consecutive rounds of substitution. Let’s ask, in this case, Boloni can Was Su Dong excluded from the big list?

  Pontes is right, opponents like Maridimo are too fierce, and their style is too tenacious, especially a central defender like Pepe, who is just like a mad dog, which is not suitable for Su Dong to play.

   The matter is over, and Boloni has no choice.

   really lost, he will bear all the responsibilities, this is his dignity as a head coach.

   But he still hopes that Su Dong can create surprises and surprises again.

   As soon as he thought of this, Boloni gritted his teeth secretly in his heart.

   At the 60th minute, Sporting Lisbon made two more substitutions.

   Ronnie and Hugo Viana came off the bench successively.

  Joao Pinto returned to the midfield, Sudong served as the single forward, Ronnie and Quaresma separated on the two wings, Hugo Viana delayed the organization and the pass.

   This is definitely letting go!

   When seeing the two young bench players approach the sideline, Maritimo’s head coach Nello Vengada was a little dumbfounded.

   This is the rhythm of the gambler losing the red eye!

   "Is Boloni a little irrational?"

"In such an important game, two young players were replaced in one breath. Nowadays, in the center and front of the Lisbon Sports Stadium, although there are veterans such as Barbosa and Joao Pinto, Sudong and Quares Horse, Cristiano Ronaldo and Hugo Viana are all under twenty years old."

   "These two substitutions are still debatable."

   "If Sporting Lisbon loses the semi-final, Boloni's substitution will definitely become the focus of criticism."

   "Is he so sure that this group of young players under the age of 20 can help him reverse Maritimo?"

   No one will believe it!

   Not only the commentator of Bora TV did not believe it, but Maritimo’s coach Nello Venjada did not believe it, even Boloni himself did not believe it very much.

   He is more like a gambler who has been forced to a desperate situation.

   beep! ! !

   The referee Lucilio Batista blew the foul whistle.

   Peipei raised her hands innocently, and the whole person slowly backed away.

   Su Dong fell on the grass, clenched his fists in both hands, punched the grass hard, but quickly stood up again.

   "How is it? Are you okay?" Batista ran over and asked.

   Su Dong shook his head, indicating that he was okay.

   Just now, he turned his back and wanted to catch the ball, but Pepe caught up from behind and hit him hard, knocking him to the ground directly, falling very embarrassed.

   The physical fitness of this Brazilian central defender is indeed very good, the best among all the players that Su Dong has ever seen.

   If Andre Cruise blocked Su Dong relying on defensive skills, awareness and experience, then Pepe’s capital to freeze Su Dong in the second half is his body.

  Whether it is on the ground or high in the sky, whether in front of or behind him, he can handle it.

   Even when he missed the best time, he could jump from behind and knock Su Dong down in mid-air.

   Speed, explosive power, agility, bounce...

   This guy almost has the body of a perfect football player.

   This also allowed Su Dong to play on the bench in the second half, except for a few times to support the ball, almost no performance.

  ……

   "How's it? Is it fun?"

   Peipei asked with a sneer when he saw Su Dong approaching.

  He knows very well that if he wants to persuade the head coach Wen Jiada, he must step on Jadel, step on the Su Dong in front of him, or even step on any person to the top position.

   Su Dong stared at Pepe stubbornly, smiled coldly, and asked, "Are you just that capable?"

"not enough?"

   "Hmph, maybe you don't know. I have been through this way for the past few months. With your tricks, do you think you can bluff me?" Su Dong sneered.

   Peipei smiled stiffly and hummed twice, "Just keep your mouth stiff, you only have a stiff mouth!"

   "Then try again!" Su Dong pointed at Pepe, and said provocatively, "I am inferior to you for the time being than my body, and I am not superior to technology, but when it comes to protracted war, you can't!

  Being provoked in such a face-to-face manner, Peppaden was a little annoyed.

   When Su Dong tried to catch the ball from behind again, he bumped directly from the side and back, and knocked Su Dong directly with his shoulder.

   This time, the referee Batista directly blew the whistle.

   Foul!

   Batista also specifically called Pepe over to remind him, "Be careful, I've been paying attention to you for a long time!"

   Peipei shook his hand dismissively, and moved back.

   Su Dong came over again and laughed, "I asked them to pass the ball to me as much as possible, you are dead tonight!"

  A sharp look flashed in Peipei's eyes.

   Soon, Sporting Lisbon’s attack again passed the ball to Su Dong’s feet.

   Su Dong has been running in neutral position, this time he finally got rid of the dog skin plaster Pepe, and turned around directly after stopping the ball.

Just as Su Dong was about to start to accelerate, Pepe suddenly stabs him out and tackles him directly. He shovels him to the ground with the ball. Then he pointed at Su Dong provocatively, with a fierce expression on his face. It's like saying: This is the end of the intimidation!

   But the referee Batista whistled again, and at the same time he put his hand in his chest pocket.

  Yellow card!

   Peipei glared at Batista angrily. He felt that his action just now was not a foul at all. How could it be a foul if he tackled the ball first?

   If it weren't for being driven away by the opponent, he would be very interested in rushing forward and discussing with the referee.

   "He is getting worried!"

   Su Dong grabbed Ronnie's hand, got up from the grass, and said with a smile.

   Ronnie can see it naturally, but...

   "Eighty-one minutes, there is not much time left." Ronnie was a little anxious.

   Su Dong nodded, he also knew that there was not much time, but he had to deal with Pepe.

  ……

  Nello Venjada shook his head as he watched from the sidelines.

   Pepe, the central defender, is good at everything except that he lacks a string in his head.

   He has amazing physical qualities, which can only make up for his immature defensive awareness and lack of game experience to the greatest extent.

   And the character problem certainly made him implement the tactics of the head coach meticulously without any compromise, but it also made him easy to be irritated by his opponents in the fierce competition.

   For a central defender, this is not a good thing.

   "If it's hot." Nello Venjada walked to the sidelines and shouted loudly toward the back line.

   Central defender Jorge Soarez looked over immediately.

   "Remind Pepe to keep his head off."

   Soares immediately made an OK gesture, indicating that he would pay attention.

   Thirty-year-old Jorge Soares is from Benfica. He only moved to Maritimo in 1998. He has always been the team's main central defender and also the core of the defense.

   Bring a young Pepe, this is one of the tasks assigned to him by the head coach Wen Jiada.

   "There are still ten minutes, stay vigilant, and then it's up to you to watch that young Chinese boy, don't let Pepe touch him again."

   Wen Jiada still looks uneasy, because he knows his players.

   Nowadays, Pepe is already hot-headed. If he is allowed to stare at Su Dong, he may be sent off at any time.

   This is not a good thing.

   The score of two to one defended the entire second half, it is impossible to be ruined at the last minute, right?

   defend ten more minutes, this game is won!

   Advance to the finals and even win the championship. This will be the first color on Nello Vengada's mediocre coaching resume.

  …………

  …………

   Su Dong noticed that the defensive player next to him had changed.

   This disappointed him a bit, but at the same time he realized the opportunity.

   It was disappointing to not be able to strike while the iron was hot and get rid of Pepe, but it was also an opportunity to change the defense.

   During a midfield pass, Joao Pinto took a step forward after receiving a pass from Ronnie from the left.

   He noticed Su Dong's gesture.

   Sporting Lisbon midfielder tried to pass the ball to the right, but suddenly dunked the ball back and passed the ball forward.

   Su Dong quickly ran out of the defense zone of Soares and retreated to the 30-meter area to catch the ball.

   Even though Soares's attention was all on Su Dong, when he reacted, Su Dong had already stopped the ball one step ahead and turned around quickly.

Soares wanted to stand still for the first time, but at the moment when Su Dong turned around, he stabbed the ball behind Soares, and he stretched out his hand to fend off Soares. Sprint forward quickly on one side.

   "A beautiful ball passed!!!"

   The scene boiled again.
