Chapter 165 Season's Best [First update after working so hard, begging for monthly subscription! ]

In front of the podium, players from Sporting Lisbon and Porto stood in two distinct rows.

Su Dong stood in the queue, looking at the Porto players opposite. Many of them had expressions of unwillingness and depression on their faces, and some of them looked a little dejected. These were not unexpected.

In sharp contrast to the Porto players, the Sporting Lisbon players were as proud as roosters in the morning, with their heads held high and their chests puffed out, their stomachs shrunk, as if they were about to go on stage to receive the World Footballer of the Year award.

This is receiving the championship trophy at the home stadium of the sworn enemy! How many times can a professional player have such an experience?

Su Dong's attention fell on Deco on the opposite side. The Brazilian midfielder looked a little nervous. After feeling Su Dong's gaze, he looked back and revealed a forced smile, but there was a bit of lack of confidence in his smile.

This made Su Dong feel satisfied.

Winning the Player of the Season award would be the best, but even if he didn't win, he wouldn't have any regrets.

At the very least, he could later proudly tell everyone that he had forced Deco into such an embarrassing situation when he was eighteen.

After realizing this, Su Dong became more relaxed.

So he smiled at Deco and gave him a thumbs up, as if to give him affirmation.

Deco was stunned and didn't understand what Su Dong meant.

Blessing? Just as Deco was hesitating, not knowing how to respond to Su Dong, Gilberto Madai, the president of the Portuguese Football Association, had already walked to the front of the microphone on the podium, and the staff next to him was holding the trophy for the best player of the season that all Portuguese Super League players dreamed of.

"Before presenting the league championship trophy this season, as is customary, we will first present the Player of the Season award."

As soon as Madaier finished speaking, the entire Dragon Stadium was filled with the cheers of Porto fans.

"Deco!"

The whole stadium was shouting Deco's name, Porto's most popular player and the soul of the team.

There have even been rumors that the Portuguese national team coach, Brazilian Scolari, wants to bring in several players who cannot play for the Brazilian national team, and Deco is one of them.

This incident caused great controversy in Portugal, especially the star player Figo, who was the first to express his opposition, believing that the Portuguese national team should not recruit non-Portuguese players like Deco.

But it seems that both the Football Association and the national team are slowly moving forward on this matter.

Judging from the Portuguese Super League, Deco's performance is indeed quite amazing.

The noise was so loud that Madaier had to raise his right hand to signal for silence.

"This selection is based on the performance of the entire season, and was finally jointly selected by representatives of many domestic authoritative media and football professionals. Many of them are behind me at this moment."

When Madaier said this, he turned around and pointed to the team of experts behind him.

There was applause at the scene.

"Here, I solemnly declare that the best player of the Portuguese Super League season in the 2002-2003 season is..."

The scene fell silent.

In the queue, Su Dong couldn't help feeling nervous.

Although he has let it go and can accept not winning the prize, deep down he still wants to win it.

He firmly believes that based on his performance this season, he is qualified to win it.

Of course, if Deco gets it, he will also congratulate him.

Opposite him, Deco's situation was equally bad.

Last season he met the divinely assisted Jardel and lost unfairly. This season he met the equally matched Su Dong, which made him even more depressed.

At this moment, Deco was really nervous, more nervous than any previous game.

Not only the two parties involved were nervous, but the players of both teams and the fans at the scene were also very nervous.

Su Dong? Or Deco? The two or three seconds that Madaier paused seemed as long as two or three years.

When many people were getting impatient, the President of the Portuguese Football Association leaned over to the microphone again and shouted loudly.

"Su Dong!"

Su Dong!!! The entire Fire Dragon Stadium was in an uproar.

Then, boos filled the air.

All Porto fans are angry and dissatisfied about this.

It was fine that their arch-rival Sporting Lisbon won the championship in Porto's stadium, but now even their player of the season, who they were determined to win, was taken away. How could they tolerate this? Angry Porto fans cursed Su Dong crazily, and white tissues flew everywhere again.

Su Dong was stunned for a moment, and then a burst of ecstasy surged in his heart.

He roared loudly, clenched his fists, then turned around and hugged Ronnie beside him, followed by Pepe, Quaresma, Albertini and other players. He hugged his teammates one by one, even Niculai gave a symbolic hug, but he missed Boloni who was standing at the front of the line.

This made Romanians feel very embarrassed and very angry.

But Su Dong no longer cares.

After hugging his teammates, he saw Deco had already stepped out from the Porto team, so he walked over with a smile, hugged Deco and accepted the congratulations from the Brazilian midfielder.

Before going on the court, Mourinho took the initiative to stop Su Dong, hugged him and congratulated him on his performance.

"With this move, Sporting once again confirms the internal contradictions within the club."

"Indeed, a team cannot be completely harmonious. Not long ago, Deco had a conflict with Porto chairman Da Costa, but the two of them resolved their grievances by having a dinner together afterwards. However, the same cannot be said for Su Dong and Boloni."

"The conflict between the two has continued from the beginning of the season until now, and Boloni has never been able to resolve it. Now it seems that the rumors that one of them will leave Sporting Lisbon are not groundless."

"Anyway, let's congratulate Su Dong!"

"He deserves the title of the best player of the Portuguese Super League season!"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"He has scored 23 league goals this season and won the league's top scorer. He also has eight assists and contributed 31 goals. He is the best player in the Portuguese Super League this season and helped Sporting Lisbon reverse Porto and win the championship. He is absolutely worthy of this award!"

"At the same time, he is also the youngest player of the season in the history of the Portuguese top league!"

"He's only eighteen!!!"

In the live broadcast, Su Dong let go of Mourinho and quickly walked up to the podium.

Although the President of the Portuguese Football Association, Madaier, is already sixty years old, he was wearing a well-tailored Armani suit and looked very energetic. When Su Dong walked up to him, he greeted him with a smile, gave Su Dong a hug, and then took the trophy for the best player of the season from the tray of the staff next to him.

Su Dong stretched out his hands and took the trophy that represented the highest honor for Portuguese Super League players. After giving Madaier a grateful smile, he turned to face the crowd and held it high above his head.

In an instant, warm applause broke out in the Dragon Stadium.

Even the Porto fans who had booed Su Dong just now, many of them applauded at this time, and even those who were indignant basically remained silent.

…

In the stands, Su Wenjie and his wife were extremely excited, and his mother Yang Xiuyu was so happy that she cried like rain.

How could they have imagined that their son could lift such a trophy? Who was the Deco he was competing against? A midfielder that both Real Madrid and Barcelona were very optimistic about. He was a star player who played at a high level in the Portuguese Super League for two consecutive seasons. Although he failed to be selected for the Brazilian national team, that was because Brazil was full of talents. In any other national team, Deco would be a key player.

There is no need to say more about Su Dong's strength and potential as he can squeeze out such a player.

Ma Dawei was also very excited.

This is the first Chinese player to play in the Portuguese Super League, and also the first Chinese to win the European League's top scorer and best player. When the news spread back to China, Su Dong would definitely become the pride of the Chinese people! At the age of 18, he had achieved such an achievement. Ma Dawei couldn't imagine what kind of results Su Dong would achieve in the future? ...

In the queue below the podium, Ronnie looked at Su Dong on the podium with envy, holding the trophy high. He was even a little jealous in his heart, but more of him was happy.

He witnessed Su Dong's growth from an unknown rookie who was not even wanted by amateur league teams two years ago to where he is today and achieve such success. As a good friend, Ronnie contributed greatly to this and was very happy for Su Dong.

But while he was happy, he also felt a bit competitive.

Back then, Su Dong was a weakling in front of him and had no ability to fight back at all. But now, Su Dong has surpassed him. Not only has he become the core of Sporting Lisbon, but even he has to play football around Su Dong. He even won the Portuguese Super League's best player and top scorer titles.

How can this make Ronaldo, who was once far ahead, feel? This summer, Ronaldo has decided to leave the Portuguese Super League. Mendes is planning for him. Many teams, including Arsenal, Juventus and Valencia, are interested in Ronaldo.

"I will definitely work harder and surpass you again, brother!" Ronnie looked at Su Dong on the stage, his eyes full of determination and thought to himself.

…

Su Dong didn't feel anything unusual.

Amid the cheers of the stadium, he walked down the podium holding the Player of the Season trophy and accepted congratulations from his teammates, as well as from Porto players, including Deco.

What followed was the award ceremony for the Portuguese Super League champion.

Sporting Lisbon, represented by head coach Boloni and captain Barbosa, walked up to the podium and received the Portuguese Super League trophy from Football Association President Madaier.

This is the second consecutive season that Sporting Lisbon has won the Portuguese Super League championship trophy!

Judging from the results alone, Boloni is indeed good, but from the perspective of his coaching process, the Romanian has mixed reputations, especially his conflict with Su Dong, his use of Niculai, and his overly conservative coaching style, which have all caused great controversy.

Su Dong silently followed the team to receive the award.

Now he no longer needs to look at anyone's face, even the technical director Aurelio may not dare to do anything to him, but this does not mean that he will confront Boloni and the club.

If we want to show our cards, we have to wait until after the League Cup final.
