Chapter 116 The Best of the Game
"Slavia Prague's attack."
"Advanced to the right side of the frontcourt and tried to cooperate and pass the ball into the penalty area."
"After half an hour, Sporting Lisbon pulled one back. Now the game is very interesting. Both teams are not conservative."
"Now we are looking forward to seeing who can win again."
"Next, no matter who scores first, it will be crucial."
"Pass it into the penalty area."
"Pepe's sliding tackle was very fierce and decisive."
"Barboza cleared the ball immediately, but the ball was still at Slavia Prague's feet."
"It didn't cross the halfway line, so it was passed back to Sporting Lisbon's left flank."
"Pepe went straight to the midfield and forced the opponent to pass the ball back."
"Slavia Prague made a mistake in their back pass."
"Su Dong was very fast and caught up with the ball first."
"Stop suddenly, dunk past the defender, and then speed up!"
"Oh my God, Su Dong's dribbling speed increased, and Sporting Lisbon made a quick counterattack."
"Ronnie crossed into the middle and the two completed a crossover."
"Su Dong dribbled the ball very quickly, with big strides, and drove straight into the goal along the left side."
"One on one in the left corner of the penalty area, facing Tomas Hrdlicka."
"Nice, straight down the line, low pass to the middle."
"Ronnie, follow up and shoot directly!!!"
“The ball goes in!!!!”
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
"In the 32nd minute, Sporting Lisbon scored another goal!"
"A goal from 17-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo."
"A very quick counterattack!"
"Slavia Prague was completely helpless against the rapid counterattacks of Sporting Lisbon's front three."
“The three players were so fast and their counterattacks were very sharp.”
“Two to zero!”
"The aggregate score is now 3-3, but Sporting Lisbon scored an away goal and successfully reversed the game!"
…
The entire Alvalade Stadium erupted in excitement in an instant.
The passion of all the fans boiled over the moment Ronnie scored a goal.
They were shouting Ronnie and Su Dong's names frantically, and the two young players rushed to the sidelines with their arms around each other's shoulders, celebrating the goal to the fans in the stands.
Players such as Tonito and Pepe also rushed to catch up, and even Quaresma ran over excitedly to celebrate.
As depressing as they were in the first leg due to the away defeat, they were as excited as they were at this moment.
…
"We have to say that Sporting played better in the second leg than in the first leg."
“Especially on the offensive level.”
"After Su Dong started, he completely led Sporting Lisbon's attack and activated the team's frontcourt vitality."
"Long-distance raids like the one just now are not seen in Nikulai."
"Let's review the slow-motion replay again. Su Dong's speed was really too fast, especially in the left corner of the penalty area. He used inertia and a fake move to deceive Hrdlicka. It was very sudden."
"In fact, at that moment, Su Dong could have chosen to cut inside and shoot, which is also a very familiar shooting area for him, but he chose to cross the ball to Ronnie who was in a better position."
“It’s a very selfless act.”
…………
…………
"Beranek made a substitution at halftime."
"Replaced midfielder Thomas Kuchar with forward Pavel Kuca."
"This is a very clear signal to step up the offense."
"Thanks to Su Dong's pass and shot in the first half, Slavia Prague's lead in the first round was reversed."
"Beranek also had to adopt a more aggressive offensive strategy."
“But this also carries certain risks.”
"We all saw that Sporting Lisbon's defense was very solid, and as long as they caught the opportunity, they could always launch a threatening counterattack in the front court."
"That's something Beranek has to pay attention to."
…
"Look at this time, Sporting Lisbon intercepted the ball in the backcourt."
"Give it to Albertini, a long pass."
"Let's go find Su Dong."
"Su Dong stood firm in his position, and the young central defender Hrdlicka headed the ball."
"Oh my God, at the critical moment, under the pressure from Su Dong, he actually burst out."
"Su Dong stopped the ball with his chest, turned around and dribbled forward."
"He's running wild again, his dribbling speed is so fast!"
"We saw Slavia Prague's defence desperately chasing back."
"Su Dong dribbled the ball into the penalty area, faced the goalkeeper who was rushing out, stopped suddenly, dribbled the ball back, and passed it diagonally to the right."
"Quaresma followed up, facing the empty goal, and the ball went in!!!!"
“Three to zero!!!”
"In the 69th minute, Sporting Lisbon scored another goal!"
"Three to zero, the total score is four to three!"
…
After Quaresma successfully shot the ball into the empty net from the front right side of the goal, he rushed towards Su Dong immediately, jumped directly on Su Dong, hugged his head, and kissed his forehead hard.
The talented Portuguese winger kept shouting, "Thank you! Thank you!"
Su Dong hugged Quaresma and rushed to the sidelines, but was quickly hugged by his teammates who caught up with him.
All the fans in the stadium were shouting the names of Sudong and Quaresma.
They all saw it very clearly, Quaresma seemed to have picked up the ball for free.
After attracting two defensive players and the goalkeeper, Su Dong selflessly passed the ball to Quaresma on the right.
This assist was even more exciting than the one that helped Ronnie just now.
Two assists and one goal, what could be more convincing than this? …
"As we said before, this attacking combination of Sporting Lisbon is very unique."
"It's mainly focused on the center position of Su Dong."
"As a center forward who is 1.95 meters tall, he is very fast and has excellent footwork. He is also very good at holding the ball with his back and physical confrontation. This allows him to play an important role in both positional battles and quick counterattacks."
"Facing such a player, the defensive players are very frustrated because they can't find an effective way to contain him."
"Sure enough, we saw Beranek preparing to make a substitution."
"Central defender Adauto replaces Lucas Dosek."
“This is a signal to step up defense.”
"The goal should still be to use numbers to limit the active Su Dong."
"But now the total score is 4-3, the most important thing for Slavia Prague is to attack and try to score goals."
"If you want to score a goal, you have to press forward, but after that, the counterattacks from Sudon, Ronaldo and Quaresma are deadly."
“It’s a really awkward and embarrassing situation.”
…………
…………
Even until the end of the game, Slavia Prague failed to launch any threatening attacks.
In the end, thanks to Su Dong's two assists and one goal, Sporting Lisbon defeated Slavia Prague 3-0 at home.
This caused the home team fans in the entire Alvalade Stadium to go wild.
The score was 1 to 3 in the first round and everyone felt desperate.
Whether from the scene or the result, there is no hope of any reversal.
But who could have imagined that the second round would be a complete and overwhelming victory.
When the Greek referee Doros blew the whistle to end the game, all the fans stood up at the same time and gave the warmest applause to the home team players.
Especially when the stadium broadcast announced the winner of the best player of the game, the atmosphere reached its peak.
"Su...Dong!!!!!!"
As soon as the broadcast finished, the whole audience was silent for a moment, and then burst into even crazier cheers.
"Sudong! Sudong!! Sudong!!!"
All the fans in the stadium were shouting Su Dong's name.
Su Dong stood on the court, feeling a little dumbfounded, but more excited.
This was the first time he was named Man of the Match, and it was also the first time he was named Man of the Match in the UEFA Cup.
There is no doubt that this will be a very memorable game.
With two assists and one goal, he led to three goals for Sporting Lisbon, fully demonstrating his style as the tactical core of the frontcourt.
He showed everyone how important he was on the court.
…
"How can we still be brothers if you steal my limelight like this?"
Ronnie walked over pretending to be envious and jealous, put his arm around Su Dong's shoulders, and smiled from ear to ear.
Although he was a little envious and jealous of Su Dong, he was mostly happy.
He once said that he would not allow himself to lose to anyone except Su Dong.
Because Su Dong is his best friend.
More importantly, Su Dong not only scored goals himself, but also helped him score goals.
Quaresma also came over, and he and Ronnie put their arms around Su Dong's shoulders on the left and right, and walked to the stands on the sidelines.
The oldest member of Sporting Lisbon's trident, Quaresma, is only 19 years old, and the youngest, Ronaldo, is only 17 years old.
What an amazing and exciting attacking combination! For Ronaldo and Quaresma, they prefer to partner with Su Dong because they can cooperate well.
Nicolaj is a center forward, but his characteristics are actually a bit like Jardel's. His footwork is not fine enough, his speed is not fast enough, and his body is not flexible enough, which makes his cooperation with the two wingers very awkward.
But Su Dong is different. No matter how the winger wants to play, he can do it with ease.
It is undoubtedly the most comfortable to cooperate with such a partner.
…
Not far behind the three, in the home team's coaching booth, Boloni, who was sitting upright, showed no ecstasy or excitement after the reversal.
He was more in deep trouble.
This reversal is certainly amazing and worth celebrating, but what comes with it is that as the head coach, his prestige and use of players in the team will be questioned unprecedentedly.
Thanks to last season's double championship and the performance so far this season, his position as coach will not be shaken, but the voices questioning him will definitely become louder and louder.
After tonight, Su Dong can no longer suppress his power! If he is kept on the bench, not only the people in the locker room, not only the management, but also the media and fans outside will not let him go. At that time, his situation will only become more embarrassing and passive.
What's even more embarrassing is that he hasn't had any private communication with Su Dong for a long time.
He knew Su Dong's attitude.
But as the head coach, does he have to take the initiative to find Su Dong to reconcile?
