Chapter 135: You have to pay more!
A week later, in the 17th round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon challenged Setubal away.
Influenced by the sniping of Porto in the last round, Sporting Lisbon's morale is high.
But perhaps because they were too eager to attack, the defense that even Porto could not break in the previous round made a fatal mistake in front of Setubal's young player Mario Carlos and was broken in the 24th minute.
Sporting Lisbon then launched a series of attacks but failed to achieve any results.
Setubal deployed an iron barrel-like formation, and Sporting Lisbon's front trident was contained.
It was not until the 50th minute of the second half, at a critical moment, that Ronnie made a clever cooperation with Sudong on the left side of the penalty area. Sudong took the ball with his back and passed it back. Rui Jorge, who came from the back row, broke into the penalty area and shot with his left foot, scoring a goal for Sporting Lisbon.
In the 74th minute, Su Dong retreated and got the ball again, passing it to Quaresma on the right. The latter made a one-on-one breakthrough and made a triangle pass back, and Barbosa who came in from the back row scored a goal.
In the end, Sporting Lisbon defeated Setubal 2-1 away.
…
Compared to the dangerous Sporting Lisbon, Porto, playing at home, was relatively stable and easily defeated Braga 3-0 to take all three points.
Benfica also defeated Vicente 3-1 at home and also got three points.
The traditional top three teams all won, and the standings and gaps remained unchanged.

…………
In the 18th round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon will face Universidad de Cobuyingla at home.
As soon as the game started, the home team launched a fierce attack.
Having learned from the experience and lessons of the previous round, Boloni deployed a 3-4-3 offensive formation in this game, while Kobuyingla University deployed a defensive counterattack formation. The two teams fought fiercely.
"Albertini got the ball in the deep midfield and signaled his teammates to steady the tempo."
"After the start of the second half, Sporting Lisbon's attack was fierce, but the effect was not obvious."
"Kobu Yinglal University is almost completely huddled in the restricted area."
"Look at this attack."
"Albertini made a long diagonal pass to the right."
"Quaresma stopped the ball beautifully, dribbled it back and passed it across the middle."
"Su Dong received the ball at the front of the penalty area, broke into the penalty area, and shot!!!"
“The ball goes in!!!!”
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"
"Su Dong's goal opened the scoring for Sporting Lisbon!"
"A very sudden kick followed by a cold shot. Su Dong's shot was very beautiful!"
“One to zero!”
"Sporting Lisbon broke the deadlock on the field!"
…
In the end, thanks to Su Dong's goal, Sporting Lisbon beat Kobuyingla University 1-0.
But in the same round, Porto reversed Belenenses 3-1 away and won all three points again.
Benfica also reversed Maritimo 2-1 away from home and won three more points.
The traditional top three teams continued to score points and gradually widened the points gap with other teams in the Portuguese Super League.
Nowadays, the trend of winning the championship is quite obvious.
Porto and Sporting Lisbon are the two teams with the most hope, and Benfica theoretically still has a chance of a comeback.
…………
…………
In the 19th round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon will challenge Santa Clara away.
Just eight minutes into the game, former Santa Clara player Tonito sent a straight pass down the middle, and Su Dong leaned on the opponent's central defender Nunes in the penalty area and shot with his right foot.
This is Su Dong's tenth Portuguese Super League goal this season.
In the end, Sporting Lisbon defeated Santa Clara 1-0 away thanks to Sudong's goal.
Su Dong's goal in this round also allowed him to surpass Adriano of the Portuguese national team and tie with Benfica winger Simao. These two players have failed to score in the last three rounds.
Currently, Sudon and Simao are tied for the top spot in the scorer list with ten goals, followed by Adriano with nine goals.
Beiramar's Farifaye has scored consecutive goals recently, reaching the eight-goal mark, tied with Postiga and others who also have not scored a goal.

…………
February 1st, Alvalade Stadium.
In the 20th round of the Portuguese Super League, Sporting Lisbon will face Ferreira at home.
Bologna once again lined up in a 4-3-3 formation, with the front trident remaining unchanged.
Sudong was quite active from the start, Quaresma and Rooney were also very active on the two wings, which caused a lot of trouble for Ferreira's defense.
Especially in the 29th minute, Ronnie was fouled by the opponent when he dribbled the ball from the left and tried to cut into the middle.
Albertini took the direct free kick himself and used a precise and elegant falling leaf ball to penetrate Ferreira's goal.
One to zero!
The Italian midfielder was also quite excited after scoring the goal. His performance in the Portuguese Super League this season was very outstanding, making everyone believe that he is still as good as ever. Even in Milan, many fans hope to recall him.
…
Just five minutes after Albertini scored from a direct free kick, Sudong received a cross from Quaresma in the penalty area and easily pushed the ball into the goal in front of the goal, scoring another goal for Sporting Lisbon.
This goal can almost be said to be a free one.
Quaresma dribbled the ball on the right as if he was in an empty space. After attracting the attention of the defense, he passed the ball to Su Dong who was unguarded in time.
It would be difficult for Su Dong not to score such a goal.
After the second half, Sporting Lisbon still firmly controlled the situation on the field.
Especially in the 72nd minute, the home team got a corner kick opportunity.
Albertini quickly took a corner kick and accurately sent the ball in front of the goal.
Su Dong, who had been lying in ambush in the penalty area, rushed forward quickly, jumped high, overpowered everyone around him, and headed the ball from close range, slamming the ball into Ferreira's goal.
Scored twice!
Three to zero! Su Dong ran all over the field excitedly.
He himself didn't expect that he would score twice.
The entire Alvalade Stadium was cheering Su Dong crazily, and all the fans were cheering for him.
What was even more unexpected was that in the 86th minute, at the final stage of the game, Ferreira made a pass error in the backcourt.
The central defender failed to stop the ball properly on his first try. Su Dong decisively stepped forward to steal the ball, then drove straight into the goal with big strides and shot the ball into the net.
At this moment, everyone in the audience was stunned!
Including Su Dong himself, everyone's face was full of disbelief.
"hat trick!!!"
"Oh my God, it's a hat trick!!!"
"Su Dong! The 18-year-old Su Dong performed a hat trick in the match against Ferreira!"
"This is absolutely an incredible achievement. We would never have thought that Su Dong would score a hat trick tonight. He is only 18 years old! 18 years old!!!"
Su Dong could not hear the exclamations from the live broadcast. He was running along the field. Wherever he went, fans of Sporting Lisbon stood up and cheered for him. Everyone was cheering for him.
The teammates also rushed to catch up.
"This is unbelievable!"
"The 18-year-old Su Dong has shown us his amazing potential. He is definitely a rising star."
"We have every reason to believe that after tonight, more people will know him!"
"Remember his name, Su Dong!"
…
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Boloni was also shocked.
He was already surprised when Su Dong scored twice, but he didn't expect that there would be another goal in the 86th minute. This was really surprising.
Could it be that Ferreira's defenders were paid? Boloni quickly dismissed this impossible thought. He looked at Su Dong running all over the field, enjoying the cheers of the fans, and a group of Sporting Lisbon players rushing forward, and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Starting from the winter break, with a game a week, Su Dong did not leave any chance for Nikulai.
He scored twice against Porto, had an assist against Setubal, and scored key winning goals in the next two rounds. In this round, facing the weaker Ferreira, Su Dong directly used a hat trick to slaughter his opponent crazily.
Can't stop it!
This kid is really unstoppable! Even if Boloni is the head coach of the team, no matter how much Boloni favors Nikulai, in this situation, he has to accept a reality that he can no longer stop Su Dong.
Just like he couldn't stop Jardel in the first place! What other reason did he have to not let Su Dong participate in the competition?
…
"This kid is kicking like crazy tonight!"
In the stands, Su Dong’s agent Mendes was also grinning from ear to ear.
That was a hat trick! An 18-year-old player scored a hat trick in the Portuguese Super League. What an amazing achievement! More importantly, there were many scouts from other European league teams sitting in the stands of the Alvalade Stadium tonight.
There were scouts from Juventus in Serie A, AC Milan and AC Milan, Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League, Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, and Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga also came to observe the scene...
In addition to these top teams, there are also some other upper and mid-level teams.
They all came for several young players of Sporting Lisbon, especially Su Dong who was the first to be targeted.
Since scoring twice against Porto, Su Dong has successfully attracted the attention of teams from the four major leagues.
Tonight's game will be attended by scouts from many teams, and it will definitely be a big test for young players like Su Dong.
In this assessment, Su Dong produced a perfect transcript and performed a hat trick.
Ronaldo, Quaresma and Pepe also performed well, which made Mendes, as their agent, very happy.
"Sporting Lisbon will soon be unable to satisfy them," Mendes said with certainty.
The players climb up step by step.
For young players like Sudon, Ronaldo and Quaresma, when their strength improves to a certain level, it will be of no benefit for them to continue staying in Sporting Lisbon.
If you want to continue to improve, then move to a higher stage and more difficult competitions.
"I believe that after tonight's game, they will be more willing to pay the 8 million euros." Manuel also smiled.
"Eight million euros?" Mendes raised his eyebrows and shook his head. "No, no, no, we have to pay more!"
