Chapter 222 Is he really only nineteen years old? [Please support me with a guaranteed monthly ticket! ]
"Aimar made a lob pass to the right front court."
"Su Dong turned his back, stopped the ball with his chest, turned around, and tried to go to the outside."
"Look at Valencia's attack this time."
"Su Dong was very active and was dribbling the ball himself."
"Two Bruges defenders came to intercept him, but Sudon dribbled the ball from the right and cut towards the half-space."
"He dribbles the ball very quickly, has very skilled footwork and moves very quickly. It's hard to believe that he is a center forward who is 1.95 meters tall."
“It’s over!!!”
"Beautiful, Su Dong forced a breakthrough with the ball and rushed forward..."
…
"call!!!!"
There was a cry of surprise at the Mestalla Stadium.
Just as Su Dong dribbled the ball past two defenders and tried to reach the front of the penalty area, Martens suddenly came out from the side and made a fierce sliding tackle directly towards Su Dong.
Almost instinctively, Su Dong jumped away, but the ball was tackled away.
This made the fans at the Mestalla Stadium break out in a cold sweat.
"Bruges' defense was very fierce this time!"
"A sliding tackle from their defender Martens!"
"Albelda protested to the referee, saying it was a dangerous move, but the referee indicated it was within the rules."
"Su Dong's dribbling breakthrough just now was very fast and his technique was quite delicate, which makes people suspect that he is not a center forward at all, but more like a number 10 attacking midfielder with excellent skills."
…
Birger Martens grabbed his teammate's hand and got up from the ground.
He himself was also very scared! The sliding tackle just now was his anxious reaction. If Su Dong hadn't jumped away quickly, the consequence would probably be that he would have been knocked to the ground with the ball, and even injured.
But instead of doing so, Su Dong took the ball directly to the right side of the penalty area and shot a goal with his left foot, and Bruges was in danger.
"Well done!" teammate Van der Heyden patted Maartens on the shoulder and said.
"That guy is too difficult to deal with. He is strong, quick on his feet, and has fine skills..."
Van der Heyden was one of the two players who were forced to break through by Su Dong just now, and he also deeply felt how difficult Su Dong was.
Also on the right side, Rufet's threat is much smaller than Su Dong's, and it is easier to deal with him.
But Su Dong suddenly appeared on the right side, causing a headache for Van der Heyden, the left back.
"Be careful and don't give him the chance to get the ball!" said Martens.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. If it happened again, he didn't know if he could hold on.
"Is this kid on drugs? He's already over 80 minutes old, and he's still so active. Can he run forever?"
But soon, Martens shook his head and denied it.
There is no one in this world who can't run away! ...
The game soon resumed.
Eighty-five minutes had passed.
Bruges still maintained its strong defense, and Valencia was helpless in the face of the iron wall.
As the end of the game approached, coupled with the physical exhaustion from the long run, Bruges' defense was no longer as impenetrable as it had been an hour ago.
This is also the reason why Su Dong seized the opportunity and rushed forward with the ball.
With Vicente absent, Sudon and Aimar are the only two players in Valencia who have the ability to dribble the ball.
Aimar was exhausted, and only Su Dong could still run and charge.
Soon, Su Dong retreated to receive the ball.
This time he returned to the left flank and received the pass from Baraja with his back turned.
He stopped with his chest and used his back to block Bruges' Czech midfielder Cech.
As soon as the ball stopped, Su Dong immediately turned to the right, blocked Cech with his left shoulder, and moved the ball forward with his right foot.
Another Bruges midfielder immediately came over to intercept.
But Su Dong didn't wait for the opponent to get close. He changed direction and headed straight for the goal, accelerating with the ball.
Bruges's defensive midfielder Smolders kept close to Sudong all the way, and in front of him were a large crowd of Bruges' defenders, at least five or six of them, all gathered inside and outside the penalty area.
Anyone who sees this defensive formation will feel desperate! But this time, Su Dong did not dribble the ball, but passed the ball horizontally to the right.
He knew that Aimar must be there!
Although the Argentine consumes a lot of physical energy, he will definitely appear there when it is time to cooperate.
After passing the ball, Su Dong rushed forward without thinking. He rushed to the penalty area behind the defense line at the fastest speed through the gap between the opponent's right back and center back.
Sure enough, Aimar appeared on Su Dong's passing line.
He really couldn't run anymore, but he always retained his last bit of strength just to pass the ball to Su Dong.
When he caught up with Su Dong's horizontal pass and just stopped, he saw Su Dong's running route.
"Su!" Aimar didn't hesitate at all. After taking a look, he immediately sent a lob ball directly to the left side of the small penalty area.
Su Dong ignored everything else. After passing the ball, he sprinted as fast as he could and headed straight to the left side of the goal. But after hearing Aimar's call, he turned his head to take a look at the ball behind him.
With just one glance, he determined where the pass would land.
Bruges goalkeeper Danny Verlinden was always on high alert. When he saw Sudon making a forward run, he immediately moved to the left, and especially when he saw Aimar making an overhead pass, he quickened his pace.
Su Dong also noticed Verlinden's movements, and combined with the early judgment of the pass landing point, Su Dong quickly outlined a shooting path in his mind.
This has become a kind of smell that is almost instinctive to him! Just like a hungry wolf! And this time, Su Dong didn't even jump, but rushed directly to the front of the small penalty area, facing the ball passed by Aimar, and headed to the far corner.
The ball was headed by Su Dong and immediately changed direction, falling to the right side of the goal.
Goalkeeper Verlinden was also prepared. He had been wary of Su Dong heading the ball into the far corner, so he deliberately held back and reached out to block it the first time.
But what surprised him was that this time Su Dong deliberately headed the ball which was about to bounce off the ground. The ball bounced up again after hitting the ground, and its speed was even faster, so Verlinden missed it.
As the Belgian goalkeeper fell heavily to the ground, the ball hit the goal behind him.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Su Dong scored a goal!!!!"
"In the 87th minute, Su Dong and Aimar made a very beautiful combination and scored a goal for Valencia!"
The moment Su Dong headed the ball, he had already guessed that the ball would most likely go in.
And finally, he saw the ball fly past Verlinden and into the goal behind him.
Ecstasy surged into his heart in an instant, Su Dong roared, turned around and rushed to the sidelines.
In an instant, the fans at the Mestalla Stadium went crazy!
After holding back for the entire game, it was not until the final moment that Su Dong broke the deadlock for Valencia.
The emotions that everyone had been holding back for an hour and a half completely burst out at this moment.
“What a beautiful collaboration!”
"Su Dong and Aimar really have a tacit understanding. The two of them completed a telepathic cooperation!"
"From the slow motion footage, we can see that Su Dong's retreat and quick run-in were the key to the goal. Aimar's precise pass was also wonderful. The tacit understanding between the two helped Valencia tear open Bruges' steel defense."
“One to zero!”
…
On the sidelines, Valencia players rushed towards Su Dong.
The fans in the stands were shouting Su Dong's name at the top of their lungs, cheering for their goal scorer.
In front of the home team's coaching bench, Benítez rarely lost his composure.
He jumped up from the ground, clenched his fists, and waved them wildly in front of him, venting his inner excitement and excitement.
In the final moments, Sudong's goal helped Valencia get a precious victory!
These three points will give Valencia the most favorable advantage in qualifying for the group, especially in the battle for the top spot.
"It's unbelievable!" Jesterdan shook his head in disbelief.
No one will ever understand the thrill of scoring a winning goal in the final moments of a game unless they experience it themselves.
If Valencia is forced to draw tonight, it will be in a very unfavorable situation.
But now, Su Dong's goal turned the whole situation around.
This was a crucial goal, giving Valencia a certain advantage in qualifying for the group, especially in the battle for the top spot.
What’s even scarier is…
"Is he really only nineteen years old?" Jestindan knew the Soviet and Eastern European archives best, but he couldn't help but doubt.
Because Su Dong doesn't look like a 19-year-old rookie at all.
Benítez looked back at his assistant and smiled, "There's no doubt about it, Paco, he's only nineteen years old."
"But at the same age of 19, Ronaldo has already achieved success and has scored over 30 goals for two consecutive seasons, while some players are still waiting for their chance in the youth training camp."
Jestindan understood what Benítez meant, there are differences between people.
"I once thought that it would take at least half a year for Su Dong to integrate into the team, but from the first game of this season, no, even from the warm-up match, I found out that I was wrong. He is improving in every game. The speed is really too fast!"
"It's so fast that sometimes I think it won't be long before I can't catch up with him!"
At the end, Benítez revealed a bitter smile.
He had never seen a player like this, not even Ronaldo back then.
You know, Ronaldo has been an extremely talented player since he landed in Europe, and he is a top talent that everyone has high hopes for.
Although Su Dong is also given high hopes, no one expects him to play at his peak like Ronaldo from his debut.
But this season, starting from the first round and the first game, Su Dong has been subverting the outside world's impression of him time and time again. He is making continuous progress and making leaps and bounds.
He is like an unfathomable bottomless pit, and people can never see his limits.
"I never said that, and I didn't think I would say that, but..."
Benítez paused deliberately at this point.
"Paco, I have a very strong feeling that perhaps many, many years later, you and I will be proud of our decision to sign Su Dong this summer!"
Begging for a guaranteed monthly ticket!
