Chapter 139 Mom, I saw God!

On the evening of February 20th, Alvalade Stadium, Lisbon.

In the first leg of the UEFA Cup round of 16, Sporting Lisbon faced Besiktas at home.

In the 80th minute of the game, the famous European coach Lucescu stood anxiously on the sidelines.

The hands in the cuffs of the black coat were pulled tight and hard.

He is very square.

A few seconds ago, the Spanish referee Ibanez blew a foul whistle, indicating that Besiktas' Brazilian center back Antonio Zago had committed a foul when defending Sudon.

Besiktas players, led by captain Teifel, surrounded the referee and put pressure on him.

Just one minute into the first half, Antonio Zago fouled Su Dong from behind while defending and was shown a yellow card by the referee. If he got another yellow card now, it would be a red card.

Therefore, not only were the Besiktas players on the field nervous, but Lucescu on the sidelines was equally anxious.

He didn't expect that Su Dong would be so difficult to deal with.

As a famous coach who has coached in Serie A for many years and even once coached Inter Milan, Lucescu attached great importance to this game against Sporting Lisbon. At the same time, he also made targeted arrangements for Su Dong, the recently popular rookie, before the game.

Both of Besiktas' central defenders are very experienced. Antonio Zago has played for La Liga and Serie A Roma, and his strength is unquestionable. His partner is Brazilian central defender Ronaldo, who once played for Benfica. He is also quite strong and familiar with the Portuguese Super League.

Lucescu believes that this central defender combination is fully capable of handling the game.

But after all, it was an away game. To be on the safe side, Lucescu specially arranged for Yasin Suren to partner with Turkish international and team captain Teifur, adopting a double defensive midfielder configuration, believing that it would be able to stabilize the defense.

But the direction of the game surprised him greatly.

Just one minute into the game, Sporting Lisbon took advantage of their home advantage to launch an attack. Su Dong created a threat with his first touch of the ball, forcing main central defender Zago to commit a foul from behind and was shown a yellow card.

Subsequently, Sporting Lisbon's frontcourt attack, led by Sudon and assisted by Ronnie and Quaresma, caused a huge impact on Besiktas, making the defensive players run around in a hurry.

In the 42nd minute, when the left-back Iltim was defending Quaresma, the Portuguese winger took the ball and made a series of feints, created a gap, and broke through. The Turkish defender was injured and fell to the ground.

I was actually injured by the shake!

Lucescu reacted quickly, made immediate defensive adjustments, and barely managed to stabilize the situation.

The game was deadlocked until the 80th minute, and the score was still zero to zero.

Besiktas was very passive on the field, but the defense remained solid.

But at this critical moment, when the game was about to end, Zago committed another foul.

If he really gets a yellow card or is sent off, wouldn't Besiktas be one man short? In addition, the team will lose its main central defender in the second round, and its defensive strength will definitely be greatly affected.

How could Lucescu not be nervous and anxious in this situation?

"Damn it, I underestimated this kid!"

Lucescu looked at Su Dong who had just crawled up from the grass and cursed angrily.

He thought he had made sufficient preparations before the game, but when he got to the game, he still found that it was not enough.

Su Dong is too difficult to deal with!

This is not only reflected in his comprehensiveness, but also in his consumption of the players on the back line.

If the previous confrontation had happened at the beginning of the game, Zago would have been able to handle it, but the energy consumed in the first eighty minutes was too great, making it difficult for Zago to keep up with Su Dong, so he was forced to commit a foul.

Sometimes, football matches are like this, a test of skills and tactics as well as consumption of energy.

"No wonder he was able to keep Nicolaj firmly on the bench in the team coached by Bologna."

…

Amid the cheers of the fans in the stadium, the referee Ibanez decisively showed the yellow card, and quickly reached into his chest pocket and took out another red card.

In an instant, the entire Alvalade Stadium was filled with deafening cheers.

At the critical moment, the opponent's main central defender was sent off, which not only gave Sporting Lisbon one more man than the opponent, but also created an advantage in the subsequent second round of the game.

Sporting Lisbon head coach Boloni was so excited that he clenched his fists and shouted loudly on the sidelines.

As a Romanian head coach, it is impossible for Boloni not to know Lucescu.

Although Lucescu is only eight years older than Boloni, in fact, his coaching experience is far beyond Boloni's.

As early as the 1980s, Lucescu was a Romanian international and head coach. He had already made a name for himself in Serie A in the 1990s. When Bologna took over Nancy in Ligue 1, Lucescu was already the top coach in Romania. He was also the head coach of Brescia in Serie A. He later coached Inter Milan for a while.

This gap made Boloni want to have a good fight with Lucescu in this game to prove to him and everyone that he is the best head coach in Romania.

As early as last December, when the team was drawn against Besiktas, the scene that Bologna most wanted to see was Nicolae playing for Sporting Lisbon and defeating Lucescu's Besiktas.

At this moment, he even felt grateful to Su Dong.

He was very happy to see the hope of defeating Lucescu and the possibility of eliminating Besiktas, but he was a little regretful that the best performer was Sudong, not the Romanian international center forward Niculai.

There are gains and losses, but defeating Lucescu is the most important thing.

After Zago was sent off with a red card, Lucescu did not make any substitutions but continued to adopt a defensive strategy.

On the one hand, it was because there was no outstanding central defender in his substitute lineup who could take over, and on the other hand, he did not want the defense that had lasted for 80 minutes to be weakened because of substitutions.

Everyone also felt Lucescu's intention, especially the Besiktas players, who admired Lucescu very much and played more resolutely and tenaciously on the court.

As time went by, Sporting Lisbon started to get a little impatient on the field.

Fortunately, veteran Albertini was in command and firmly controlled the tempo of the game, preventing the rhythm from going astray.

In the 88th minute, he made a long diagonal pass, accurately transferring the ball to the left.

Ronnie sprinted quickly and stopped the ball before the baseline, but in the subsequent one-on-one breakthrough, he fell in the penalty area and the ball was blocked by the opponent and went out of the baseline.

This time the referee did not signal a foul, but considered it a corner kick for Sporting Lisbon.

Ronnie got up from the ground angrily, looking very unwilling, and still believed that it should be a penalty.

Su Dong walked over and comforted his old friend, "It's okay, a corner kick is also a good opportunity."

After hearing this, Ronnie looked at the Besiktas defenders, smiled and nodded.

Who says it's not true? In Besiktas' defense, the tallest player is only 1.86 meters tall, with two players, namely central defender Ronaldo and full-back Yiltim. But now Yiltim was injured by Quaresma and left the field, leaving only Brazilian central defender Ronaldo.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Ronnie had no good feelings towards this guy with the same name as him.

There was originally a 1.84-meter-tall Antonio Zago, but now he has also been sent off with a red card.

In other words, Besiktas' defense, which originally had a low average height, has now become even shorter.

Except Ronaldo, the others are all 1.8 meters tall.

"Old rules, we'll provide cover and you have to get rid of Ronaldo." Ronnie suggested with a smile.

This is also a tactic often used by Sporting Lisbon in set-piece attacks.

Su Dong smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I will avenge you!"

…

Soon, the news spread within Sporting Lisbon.

Albertini was standing in the corner area. He also received the news from the penalty area. He nodded and raised his right hand.

This is the gesture for a free throw.

Pepe and Andre Cruz were lying in ambush at the back post, while Ronnie and Sudong were both standing in the front part of the center.

When Albertini took a quick run forward and quickly kicked the ball out, everyone in the penalty area started moving.

Ronaldo was well aware of the threat posed by Su Dong, so he secretly pulled Su Dong's jersey from behind.

Apart from anything else, his height of 1.95 meters standing in the penalty area is itself a huge deterrent.

But Su Dong already knew how to deal with him.

He first pretended to rush to the middle, then suddenly changed direction and rushed forward, and reached out to knock away Ronaldo's hand that was tightly grasping the jersey.

Ronaldo was caught off guard and could only follow behind Su Dong, watching Su Dong rush to the front and jump high.

The Brazilian center back looked up and opened his mouth wide at the young Chinese player who could block out the huge lights on the top of the stadium when he jumped.

Mom, I saw God! …

Due to the tacit understanding established during daily training, as soon as Albertini took the free throw, Su Dong knew where the ball would fall, so he rushed to the landing point and jumped high.

There was no one else jumping around except him.

After jumping up, Su Dong looked extremely powerful, more like a god descending from heaven.

After hitting the target firmly, the ball turned in another direction and flew straight to the right side of the goal.

The goalkeeper reacted quickly and dove to the side, but it was too late. The ball almost brushed the crossbar and flew into the goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

There was a burst of crazy cheers at the scene.

Su Dong rushed out of the court quickly, opened his arms, and celebrated his goal to his heart's content.

The fans of Sporting Lisbon were also shouting his name crazily.

“One to zero!”

"At the crucial moment, in the 89th minute, Su Dong scored a header from a corner kick into the goal of Besiktas, scoring a crucial goal for Sporting Lisbon."

"Lucescu's team showed great tenacity but they were unable to escape from the Alvalade Stadium unscathed."

"Because they met the little god of war, Su Dong!"

Finally, Su Dong jumped high onto the guardrail of the stands and cheered wildly to the fans in the stands.

In front of him, countless fans rushed over, wanting to hug his legs. From a distance, it seemed like they were worshiping Su Dong.

They saw God!

Mars!
