Chapter 790: First hat trick in the Premier League
Raheem Sterling is a skinny African-American player.
Like most players of African descent, he has extremely fast speed and amazing explosive power, as well as excellent footwork. Unfortunately, his African descent did not give him the explosive muscles and outstanding physical confrontation in the traditional impression. So, when he stood on the sidelines and watched Drogba and Essien in Chelsea's lineup, he was drooling.
If Drogba's physical strength and Essien's endurance could be transferred to him, plus his current speed, explosiveness, and footwork, how perfect would that be? But as soon as he thought of this, he immediately turned his head and looked at Su Dong in Chelsea's half.
Mmmm, just like sotong!
In everyone's eyes, Su Dong is almost synonymous with a perfect center forward. Even the British Sun commented that Su Dong is now the most ideal lover in the minds of all British women. "They are all proud to be conquered by Su Dong, just like he conquered the court!"
Su Dong can definitely be considered a winner in life. He never responds to such rumors, let alone gets involved.
He has a beautiful and elegant fiancée, which makes him the envy of countless men around the world.
Not only is he good at playing football, but his life off the field is also so outstanding. How can people not be envious and jealous?
Sterling is just one of many young people who envy and even admire Su Dong.
He even made no secret of the fact that he chose Manchester City because of Su Dong, otherwise he should have gone to Liverpool.
After arriving at Manchester City, he is still in the youth team due to his age, but he often gets the opportunity to train with the first team, which makes him very familiar with the stars of the first team.
Everyone, including Su Dong, knew that Manchester City had a player who cost the team two million pounds and was almost the most expensive player under the age of sixteen. He was also a future rookie that the team had high hopes for.
Sterling's biggest privilege at Manchester City is that he can serve as a ball boy in every game.
In fact, he is too old for that, but he is quite short so he can get by.
…
At the beginning of the second half, Chelsea launched a fierce attack on Manchester City and frequently created opportunities.
Less than a minute into the game, Drogba created a shooting opportunity for Anelka, and the subsequent corner kick resulted in another shot.
Chelsea took this as an opportunity and launched a fierce pressing attack on Manchester City, as if they wanted to defeat Manchester City in one fell swoop.
This made the fans in the stadium feel very nervous, and the cheers became louder.
Sterling was also very nervous standing on the sidelines. He held the guardrail of the billboard tightly with both hands and muttered to himself, as if he was constantly shouting "Come on!". Occasionally, he would lose his voice to remind the Manchester City players on the field to pay attention to defense.
Although he has only joined the team not long ago, he has successfully integrated himself into this new role as a Manchester City player.
It's one of his skills, from his birthplace of Jamaica to England to London and now to Manchester, he has always adapted well and seized opportunities quickly.
Of course, it is a bit early for Sterling, who does not turn 16 until December, to seize the opportunity.
…
"Did we play too badly in the second half? Why didn't we continue to have the ball in the first half?"
Suddenly, a confusing sound came from the side.
Sterling turned his head curiously and saw a very thin white boy. He looked unfamiliar and should be here for the first time.
"I haven't seen you before, are you new here?" Sterling asked with a frown.
The other party heard Sterling's tone and recognized him. He immediately smiled and nodded: "It's my first time as a caddy tonight. However, I do know you, the most valuable player in the youth team, Sterling."
They all play in the youth academy. Although they are of different age groups, the coach often uses players from older age groups or first-team players to inspire younger children and give them an example and a goal.
Sterling has been mentioned the most in recent times. The coaches all believe that he will be a superstar player with a promising future, and he may even be the first superstar trained by Manchester City.
Sterling is quite pleased. I dare not say anything else, but when it comes to playing football, he has always been an outstanding player.
The African American boy grinned, looking particularly happy, "What age group are you?"
"Thirteen, our coach often tells us about you and asks me to use you as a role model."
Sterling smiled and nodded, "What's your name?"
"Phil, Phil Foden."
"Oh!" Sterling remembered the name, "I've heard of you. You jumped three levels. That's amazing!"
Just as Phil Foden was about to smile and be humble, Sterling added happily.
“It’s about the same as when I was young.”
Foden's smile froze.
Damn, you were praising me just now just to brag about yourself?
You little brat, you are not a good person when you try to play such tricks!
He secretly complained in his heart but didn't dare say it outwardly. After all, Sterling was older than him, and if a fight really came to a head, he would be at a disadvantage.
The two discussed the situation on the court.
At their age, they do not have much concept about the team's tactics. After all, they have not yet fully received the tactical awareness training of the adult team. They can only understand the situation of the game through years of playing football and match practice.
The conclusion is that if Chelsea goes crazy, Manchester City will have to avoid it!
The strength of the defending Premier League champions is definitely not something Manchester City can contend with.
Manchester City is not yet fully mature. It just underwent a large-scale reorganization this summer. The team has not even developed enough tacit understanding, so naturally there is no way they can go head-to-head with Chelsea.
That's too risky.
"Hey, whose hand were you holding just now?" Sterling asked suddenly.
Phil Foden was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he didn't see Sterling in the player tunnel just now.
This guy really enjoyed the same privilege as the rumors said. He was said to be able to watch the game up close and free on the sidelines of every home game. His position was particularly good. It was really enviable! But when Phil Foden mentioned what had just happened, he immediately laughed out loud.
"I held Su Dong's hand."
"Fuck, this is the most sought-after position. How did you get it?" Sterling obviously knew the market situation very well.
Phil Foden was even more proud. He immediately laughed and told the whole story from beginning to end how he got this opportunity. Sterling's eyes widened. He didn't expect this kid to be so good at playing.
It turned out that since he successfully "persuaded" coach Al to let him serve as a substitute caddy, he chose to "bribe" other competitors through various means, including but not limited to coercion and inducement, and finally succeeded in getting himself promoted from a substitute to a regular.
But all 22 caddies on the scene wanted to hold Su Dong’s hand. What should he do?
Phil Foden once again used his "bribery" method, even borrowing the reputation of coach El to bully others, and finally succeeded in getting to Su Dong's side, and then squeezed out his competitors through various means.
So the scene that happened in the player tunnel before the game started happened.
Sterling was dumbfounded. He wondered if this daring boy was really only ten years old. "You are awesome!" Sterling looked at him with new eyes.
He looks like a good kid, but he is full of bad ideas. This kid has a future! "But I spent all the pocket money I saved for two years in two days." Phil Foden felt a little painful when he thought about it.
That was his pocket money that he had saved with great effort, but he ended up spending it all just to hold Su Dong's hand and talk to him for a few words. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel bad.
However, when I think about my conversation with Su Dong and seeing him standing with Drogba, that feeling is worth it!
Sterling looked at the boy deeply, thought about it, and nodded: "It's okay, just follow me from now on, I will help you arrange it!"
…………
…………
No one would notice the conversation between two unknown little kids on the sidelines.
Everyone's attention was focused on the court.
Chelsea fought for about ten minutes but still failed to break Manchester City's goal.
Kompany continued to pursue Drogba, Pepe played very steadily in the defense, and with the addition of Zabaleta, even Marcelo on the left played well, not giving Anelka many chances.
Seeing that they could not break through, Chelsea was forced to retreat slightly to catch their breath.
But Manchester City decisively seized the opportunity, immediately pressed forward, took possession of the ball again, and continued to patiently control the situation.
In the 65th minute, David Silva got the ball in the midfield, dribbled past two Chelsea players and reached the outside of the penalty area. He suddenly made a diagonal pass and transferred the ball to the left.
After Di Maria stopped the ball on the left side of the penalty area, he faced Ivanovic's defense.
The Argentine winger first made an abrupt stop and pretended to rush into the penalty area, but suddenly dribbled the ball to the bottom line and used his speed and explosive power to break through Ivanovic.
As soon as he got rid of the opponent and created a chance to cross the ball, Di Maria passed the ball with his left foot and sent the ball in front of the goal.
Su Dong quickly inserted himself into the goal and used his body to block Terry on his right side. He kicked out with his left foot first, and before Terry could kick out and Cech could attack, he passed Di Maria's cross into the small penalty area and poked the ball into the lower left corner of Chelsea again.
The ball passed under Cech and fell into Chelsea's goal.
Three to zero! "Hat trick!!!!"
“Oh my god, Su Dong scored a hat trick!!!”
"This is the first time I have scored a hat trick since joining Manchester City and landing in the Premier League!"
"All those who doubted Su Dong and said he could not succeed in the Premier League should take a closer look. Su Dong scored 12 goals in six games, an average of two goals per game. What a shocking number!"
After Su Dong scored a goal, he rushed out of the stadium, ran all the way, and rushed to the bottom of the stands where Wang Chuqing was, kissed the ring, and celebrated his goal.
At this moment, the entire Etihad Stadium, 50,000 Manchester City fans, all shouted his name in unison.
Sodong!
