Chapter 163: He tricked me again! [The fourth update with a burst of vomiting blood, begging for monthly subscription! ]
Before the joy brought by Su Dong's goal had completely dissipated, Sporting Lisbon's defense caught fire.
It was a great combination from the two Brazilian players.
After receiving the pass from his teammate on the left, Dellei suddenly dribbled the ball sideways and cut inside, attracting the attention of the defensive players. He then made a short pass, and Deco followed up and shot directly, making a long shot from outside the penalty area.
The ball drew a strange arc in the air and went into the goal of Sporting Lisbon.
One to one!
The course of the game once again confirmed the ten-minute theory.
Deco's goal came just seven minutes after Su Dong's goal.
After equalizing the score, Mourinho decisively made the second substitution, with Costinha replacing Postiga.
This is a signal to strengthen the midfield defense, and it also tells everyone that Porto only needs a draw to win the championship.
Yes, in the current standings, Porto has one more point than Sporting Lisbon. As long as they draw tonight, they will win the championship with this one-point advantage, while Sporting Lisbon can only return home with regrets.
Under the instruction of the head coach, Porto players also gave up their previous high-pressure pressing style and adopted a more stable tactic. At the same time, they established a solid defense line in the midfield to suppress Sporting Lisbon's midfield and backcourt.
When Porto began to shrink its defense, Sporting Lisbon's attack began to hit a wall.
On the one hand, Porto's defense is quite solid. Mourinho himself is an expert in organizing defense. Especially this season, he has made Porto's defense the strongest in the Portuguese Super League, even Sporting Lisbon is slightly inferior.
On the other hand, Sporting Lisbon's head coach Boloni was relatively cautious, or conservative, and his on-the-spot reaction was a little too slow, which led to a stalemate. It was not until the 73rd minute that he suddenly reacted and replaced two players at once, Tonito and Nicolaj.
The team immediately changed its formation to 4-4-2 and adopted a double forward strategy.
…
After Nikulai came on the court, Su Dong clearly felt that the pressure he was under was relieved a lot.
It’s not that the defensive players paid less attention to him, but that Nikulai was too aggressive.
The Romanian center has been suppressed by Su Dong this season and his performance has been unsatisfactory. As a result, there have been many doubts from the outside in recent times, and people believe that Sporting Lisbon should sell him this summer.
Now that he finally got the chance to play in an important game, Nikulai naturally behaved very actively.
He is eager to perform, eager to score goals, eager to prove himself, and eager to stay at Sporting Lisbon.
With such a player around him, Su Dong's pressure was naturally relieved a lot.
But reducing does not mean eliminating. On the contrary, although Porto's defenders were guarding against Nicolaj who had just come on the field, their attention was still focused on Sudong. His every move attracted the attention of Carvalho and others.
The game time passed by little by little, and Sporting Lisbon was unable to make a breakthrough.
Porto, focusing on defense, became more and more calm, especially after 80 minutes.
On the other hand, Sporting Lisbon began to become a little impatient.
Just like Ronaldo, when he was dribbling, he was too stuck to the ball and failed to pass it in time, so he was tripped by Ferreira. The Portuguese winger jumped up from the ground, pushed Ferreira away hard, and the two almost had a conflict.
The referee gave Ronnie a yellow card warning, which barely suppressed the anger of the young Sporting Lisbon player.
"Take it easy, buddy." Su Dong advised.
Ronnie was furious and gnashed his teeth as he said, "This guy is as sticky as a dog-skin plaster."
"If your wife doesn't stick to you, who else would she stick to?" Su Dong said with a smile.
Ronnie was so angry that he laughed.
Every time they played against Porto, Ferreira suffered a lot from Ronnie, and now Ronnie was just too impatient.
The characteristic of the player Ferreira is stability. He knows that you are anxious, and he even hopes that you are anxious. The more anxious you are, the happier he is.
"Ronnie, move him away." Su Dong whispered.
Ronnie was stunned and looked at Su Dong with questioning eyes.
Su Dong did not answer directly, but nodded, understanding each other tacitly.
Soon, Su Dong saw another opportunity and said the same thing to Quaresma on the right.
…
The game quietly entered the eighty-fifth minute.
Porto defended steadily and occasionally launched a counterattack, but the intensity of the attack was not great.
It seemed that Mourinho preferred to hold on to the draw, with the goal being just the icing on the cake.
Sporting Lisbon gradually increased its offensive strength, especially in the midfield and backcourt, where they began to press forward.
Both flanks were stretched wide, forcing Porto's defense to stretch as well.
Tonito started to get some opportunities in the middle and took the initiative to advance with the ball.
Especially in the 86th minute, he ran out of the gap, received the pass from Albertini, and immediately dribbled forward, attracting the attention of two midfielders, Costinha and Maniche.
Porto's two midfielders were like two goal gods, blocking the top of the arc in front of the penalty area.
Tonito dribbled the ball forward, and when he was about to enter the two-man defense zone, he gestured forward.
Nicolaj, who had originally retreated to the front of the penalty area to receive the ball, thought that his teammate was going to pass the ball to him, so he immediately went straight into the penalty area and rushed to the right side of the goal. This attracted Carvalho's attention, forcing him to move to the right.
But Tonito did not pass the ball to Niculai. Instead, he took a step forward, attracted Maniche to leave the defense area, and then passed the ball diagonally to the front left, sending the ball directly into the penalty area.
In the penalty area, Su Dong had his back to the direction of attack, with veteran Jorge Costa blocking behind him.
Porto's midfielder is very experienced. He held Su Dong tightly while also observing Su Dong's body movements.
Being proficient in both feet is a very troublesome thing, which means that Su Dong can turn left as well as right.
Jorge Costa had been fooled once before and was more careful this time.
When he saw the ball flying towards Su Dong, Su Dong opened his body slightly, and at the same time, he gently stepped forward with his left foot, but leaned his back towards him, which looked like he wanted to control the ball, stop, and then take the next step.
Therefore, Jorge Costa did not dare to act rashly. He knew that he was not as tall as Su Dong. If he rushed forward rashly, not only might he not be able to grab the ball, but he might also lose his position. If Su Dong turned around, it would be fatal.
With the mentality of not seeking merit but avoiding mistakes, Jorge Costa still stands behind Su Dong.
The Porto midfielder was observing Su Dong, and Su Dong was also observing the opponent.
When Su Dong realized that Jorge Costa did not move, he sighed in his heart, but the moment he saw the ball flying towards him, he only felt a flash of lightning across his right brain, and a flash of inspiration came into his mind.
The football landed right on Su Dong's left foot, but Su Dong did not stop it like Jorge Costa or anyone else did. Instead, he used the inside of his left foot to gently push the ball to the right.
After the ball was hit, it bounced up from the grass and passed behind Su Dong's right foot.
Jorge Costa realized something was wrong, especially when he saw Su Dong knock the ball with the inside of his left foot. He reacted instinctively and kicked out to block it.
But Su Dong was also guarding against his move. The ball bounced into the air, passed Jorge Costa's feet, and landed near the penalty spot.
At this moment, Jorge Costa was completely Spartan, and a very devastating thought emerged in his mind.
Damn it, he fooled me again!
Carvalho was so frightened that he immediately abandoned Nikulai and rushed towards Su Dong.
He is fast, but Su Dong is faster.
After knocking the ball with his left foot, Su Dong turned around immediately, took a step forward, and shot directly with his right foot before Carvalho.
He shot the ball with his right foot and it went into the lower left corner of the Baya goal at lightning speed.
The Porto goalkeeper didn't even have time to react and watched the ball go into the net in a daze!
It was not until this moment that Carvalho rushed to Su Dong, but Su Dong had already raised his arms, turned around excitedly and rushed out of the court.
Jorge Costa and Carvalho looked at Su Dong's back with despair, and then looked at the football on the goal line, feeling hopeless!
What the hell is going on?
Can this kind of ball go in?
When did he become so imaginative? Nikulai also collapsed.
At this moment, the Romanian center forward was also disheartened. He looked at Tonito with resentment, but found that the Spanish midfielder had followed Su Dong and started celebrating wildly.
He wanted to pull Tonito over to ask him, "You clearly told me to run forward, why did you pass the ball to Su Dong?"
I had so much faith in you, yet you played tricks on me like this!
I originally turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon only shines on the ditch.
…
"A very beautiful stroke of genius!"
"From the slow motion, we can see that Su Dong's dribbling and dribbling past the opponent was very imaginative."
"Jorge Costa was completely outplayed by Sudon. He looked like a clumsy wooden stake and could do nothing."
"It is hard for us to believe that Su Dong, who is 1.95 meters tall, can perform such imaginative footwork, especially with his left foot. It is really incredible."
"But this is the little war god Su Dong. He is always creating accidents and surprises!"
"Two to one, Sporting Lisbon is leading again!"
"The current situation is very unfavorable for Porto, and there is not much time left for Mourinho."
…
Mourinho is also well aware of this.
So, when the game started, all Porto players pressed forward with almost no reservations, even goalkeeper Baia went all out and rushed towards Sporting Lisbon's half.
They have no choice!
Su Dong's goal put them in a desperate situation.
If we don’t want to lose the game, don’t want to lose the championship, and don’t want our arch-rivals to win the championship in their home court, then we must equalize the score.
With such a belief, Porto players burst out with crazy energy, and everyone rushed towards the goal of Sporting Lisbon frantically.
Sporting Lisbon retreated across the board, with everyone showing their determination to live and die with the goal.
