Chapter 140 Don’t cheat on your friend’s wife
Eduardo Macia sat in the stands, a notebook on his crossed legs and a pen in his hand.
The moment Su Dong scored a goal, he rushed out of the stadium with excitement, so much so that his notebook and pen fell to the ground in the stands without him noticing.
When he came to his senses, he looked around awkwardly, then returned to his seat and sat upright.
The Sporting Lisbon fans around him didn't notice his abnormality because they were even crazier than Macia.
Except Subiraz.
"This kid is really good." Subirat was also quite surprised by this goal.
Scoring such a header at such a critical moment proves that Su Dong's heading ability is not as bad as rumored by the outside world. You know, he has scored several headers in a row in recent times, including the one against Porto.
The more a goal is scored at a crucial moment, the more it reflects the player's strength.
Of course, Marcia also knew this, so in the notebook, he drew a line through the header that was previously recorded as a deficiency, and wrote "header" in the advantage item instead.
Through previous communication with Javier Subirat, he discovered that Su Dong was turning his heading weakness into an advantage through hard training.
This is not an easy thing to do.
At this point in the game, there is basically not much suspense.
Thanks to Sudong's goal, Sporting Lisbon beat Besiktas 1-0.
"After all, he is a famous coach who has been immersed in Serie A for many years. Besiktas under Lucescu's coaching is also quite impressive. It is not easy to travel a long distance to play away and play like this against Sporting Lisbon."
Subiraci has a high opinion of Lucescu, but his opinion of Boloni is average.
This is not to be judged by fame, but by his coaching.
As a head coach, it is normal to have player preferences and it is also normal to have his own direct lineage, but one should not be overly paranoid. When Su Dong and Nikulai were clearly distinguished from each other, his coaching in the first half of the season was seriously irresponsible to the team.
Even in tonight's match against Lucescu, he didn't come up with any effective solution at all.
If it weren't for Sudon's goal, he wouldn't have been able to beat Besiktas tonight.
Bologna lost, but Su Dong won! "Back at home, Besiktas has a certain advantage. Sporting Lisbon is mainly composed of young players. There are many hidden dangers in the long journey to play away games, but the Turkish team has lost its main central defender..."
After Eduardo Macia's analysis, he really had no way to judge who was better.
Perhaps it should be said that in the second round of the game, both sides have their own advantages.
"Overall, I prefer Lucescu," Subiraci said with a smile.
Marcia thought about it and nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Javier, why are you in Lisbon?" Marcia suddenly thought of this question.
Javier Subiratz, although he is from Valencia and has had some involvement with the team over the years, he has not served in the team. Instead, there are reports that he has been in Madrid recently, which is quite surprising.
Could it be that he is working for the Madrid team? "My goal is the same as yours." Subiraz smiled slightly.
Masia was stunned, and the first person he thought of was Su Dong.
But I haven't heard which team Subiraci works for? "Let me remind you, Eduardo, with the current momentum of Sudong, it will not be able to make it to the Champions League next season. I'm afraid it will be difficult to recruit him into the team."
Marcia knew what was going on.
As the La Liga champion last season, Valencia's performance this season has not been ideal.
Real Madrid began to pay attention to the domestic league this season and performed very well in La Liga. Together with the two strong teams, Super Laco and Celta Vigo, they have trampled Valencia under their feet.
What is really surprising is Real Sociedad. With the rapid rise of young player Xabi Alonso, Real Sociedad has performed quite well in La Liga this season and is currently firmly locked in the second place in the league.
As a result, Valencia is now forced to settle for fifth, but it is also unstable.
After them are teams like Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao, which may make a comeback at any time. The Bats' fifth place in the league is also in jeopardy, and the center forward is the biggest headache for Benítez.
Although there are stars such as Carew, Sanchez, Salva and Mista, the center is the worst link in Valencia.
Subiratz's words were also a reminder to Macia that Valencia had little money and a limited transfer budget. If they wanted to recruit outstanding players, the best way would be to enter the Champions League and reach the top four.

…………
Thanks to Sudong's goal, Sporting Lisbon narrowly beat Besiktas 1-0 at home.
Su Dong scored a crucial goal and was named the best player of the game.
This is mainly not only because of his goal, but more importantly because of his performance throughout the game, especially Zago's two yellow cards.
Zago's red card suspension caused a crisis in Besiktas' defense, which also laid the groundwork for the second leg of the match between the two sides.
Previously, Sporting Lisbon went on an expedition to Greece and the team played very badly. Now they are playing away against Besiktas, which is even farther away. Sporting Lisbon faces a huge away challenge.
But now that Zago is missing, the Green Lions' away pressure is undoubtedly reduced a lot.
Besiktas head coach Lucescu specifically praised Sudong in the post-match press conference.
"I was extremely impressed by his performance. He is also the most threatening player in Sporting Lisbon. Before the game, I thought I had paid enough attention to him, but in the game, I found that it was still far from enough. We will learn from this experience in the second round."
As a famous European coach, Lucescu expressed his expectations for the prospects of Eastern Europe.
"In recent years, a group of very outstanding young players have emerged in European football, and Su Dong is one of them."
"Although I only played one game with him, he impressed me a lot. I think he has the potential to become an excellent top center forward, but he still has a long way to go."
In response to Zago's red card, Lucescu showed his grace. On the one hand, he defended his player, saying that the second yellow card was a bit too harsh, especially considering that the first yellow card was given at the beginning of the game.
"But I respect the coach's decision and will not appeal against it."
Even so, Lucescu still expressed that he was full of confidence in the second round.
…
Having defeated his long-admired predecessor Lucescu, Boloni was in a very good mood.
In the post-match press conference, he rarely used a long paragraph to praise Su Dong, believing that he played a key role and was the team's most important core player.
This is also the first time that the Romanian head coach has publicly affirmed Su Dong's role.
Regarding the second round, Boloni expressed full confidence, believing that the team can overcome the disadvantages of away field and win a victory in Istanbul.
But at the same time, Boloni also believes that this is very difficult and requires the joint efforts of everyone.
…
The outside media and fans gave high praise to Su Dong's performance.
The Morning Post even believes that without Sudon, it would be difficult for Sporting Lisbon to beat Besiktas at home.
"Even if Bologna doesn't want to admit it, Sudon is already Sporting Lisbon's most important player and cannot be replaced!"
The News Daily also wrote a commentary, saying that Su Dong's header at the critical moment gave Sporting Lisbon a one-goal advantage, and as long as they can maintain the advantage in the next away games, they will be able to advance.
But they also reminded Sporting Lisbon that Lucescu is a famous European coach with extensive coaching experience.
“The away trip to Istanbul will be a huge test!”
…
While Sporting Lisbon struggled to beat the visiting Besiktas 1-0, Porto beat Denizlispor 6-1 at home, which created a very obvious contrast between the two Portuguese Super League teams.
Both teams were Portuguese Super League teams facing Turkish teams. Sporting Lisbon won by a narrow margin, and the outcome of the away game was unpredictable. However, Porto won overwhelmingly at home, and the second round of the game was basically meaningless.
This is also Mourinho's strategy in the Europa League and the two-front war, to grab the first round as much as possible.
It's also luck that Porto basically plays the first leg of the UEFA Cup at home.
Mourinho can rely on his deep pockets and a strong bench to make effective rotations when fighting on two fronts, but Sporting Lisbon cannot do that and can only make trade-offs.
After the first leg of the UEFA Cup round of 16, Bologna kept four young players, Sudon, Ronaldo, Quaresma and Pepe, on the bench for the weekend league. As a result, Sporting Lisbon lost the ball in the 41st minute in the away game against Vicente.
Luis Coentrao broke the deadlock for the home team.
No matter how Sporting Lisbon fought back, they failed to score again. Nicolaj started the game and played the whole game, but his performance was average.
Porto defeated the Portuguese national team 2-1 away from home in this game.
The game in Madeira Islands was also quite difficult, but Porto finally defeated the opponent tenaciously and won the valuable three points, widening the points gap to four points.
This also makes the ownership of the Portuguese Super League championship once again confusing.
…
After losing the away game and then heading to Istanbul, everyone in Sporting Lisbon felt the pressure of the league.
On the morning of the day the team left for Turkey, at the Lisbon airport, Tonito suddenly walked up to Su Dong with a resentful look on his face. His expression looked as if he had been cuckolded by Su Dong.
This made Su Dong feel very aggrieved. I am not a casual person.
Just when everyone was feeling strange, Tonito suddenly handed Su Dong a newspaper, turned around and ran back to his seat in tears.
Su Dong and Ronnie were both very surprised. They opened the newspaper and saw that it was a newspaper from Spain.
A media reporter interviewed Valencia head coach Benítez and said that he saw Eduardo Macia in Lisbon and asked him if he was observing Sporting Lisbon players.
Benítez did not give a direct response in the interview, but expressed his great interest in Su Dong.
"No wonder Tonyto is so sad." Ronnie patted Su Dong's shoulder and sighed.
"Didn't you say that you Chinese have a saying that a friend's wife should not be cheated on? Don't do that again in the future."
Su Dong is very depressed, what's wrong with me?
