i want to be king

Chapter 53 Su, can you do it?

Jorge Jesus has always felt that he would become a good professional head coach.

Although in the past ten years, his coaching resume can be described as mediocre.

Without an outstanding career, Jorge Jesus made up his mind early on to become a head coach, and worked hard for this goal, and then got the opportunity to coach in Fergueiras in the Porto District.

In the following years, he moved to a number of Portuguese low-level league teams, including coaching Madeira United.

It was the half-year coaching at Madeira United that gave him the opportunity to coach the Portuguese Super League team Amadora.

He is ambitious and wants to make achievements in the Portuguese Super League. During the three seasons in Amadora, his coaching performance has always been ranked in the middle of the league, which is quite stable, which makes people recognize Jorge Jesus' coaching ability.

Amadora under his coaching is based on a four-four-two formation and adopts high-position pressing and oppressive tactics, which makes them very much in line with the current mainstream trend of European football and has become an emerging force that should not be underestimated in the Portuguese Super League.

After Amadora's success, Jorge Jesus was eager to take his coaching resume one step further, so he left Amadora with limited financial resources and switched to the ambitious Setubal, and led the team to successfully promote from the Portuguese League to the Portuguese Super League. However, in the Portuguese Super League this season, Setubal's performance in the first half was not satisfactory.

Jorge Jesus failed to survive the cold winter break in the end, and he and Porto coach Machado both dismissed get out of get out of class, becoming a difficult brother in the Portuguese Super League.

At this time, after sending away Jorge Jesus, Amadora fell from the original mid-range team to the bottom of the points in just one season. Not to mention the despondent relegation, his performance in the first half of the Portuguese League was not satisfactory.

The return of past exploits has greatly boosted the morale of the team.

After the winter break, Jorge Jesus led Amadora to launch a strong rebound to return to the Portuguese Super League.

This time, he vowed to bring Amadora back to the Portuguese Super League and prove his coaching ability in the Portuguese Super League.

After the winter break, Amadora looked unstoppable.

Unfortunately, the second team of Sporting Lisbon stood in front of this team aiming to surpass.

…………

…………

Amadora is about ten kilometers north of Lisbon, and the two teams are very familiar with each other.

Sporting Lisbon is still the trident combination of Marcelino, Su Dong and Ronnie, but the situation is completely different from before.

Amadora under the coach of Jorge Jesus is very different from the Portuguese teams they have encountered before.

They used a high position to press and press, and even directly pressed across the half.

In the case that the strength is not as good as the opponent, the second team of Sporting Lisbon has no effective way to deal with it.

In addition to the high-position press, Jesús adopted a fast attack, mainly on the wing. During the winter break, he introduced the Argentine high center Campos, who could not play, from the Portuguese Super League Arvica with a lot of money to improve the team's offensive power.

At the beginning of the game, Amadora launched a fierce attack on the second team of Sporting Lisbon.

Under the repeated impact of the offensive lineup headed by high center Campos, Jose Fonte's defense line was finally broken in the No. 303 minute. What was even more unacceptable was that the second Sporting Lisbon team could not organize an effective offense throughout the first half.

……

The locker room was silent.

Everyone, including Su Dong, expressed disappointment on their faces.

It's an asymmetrical game, all round.

After the coaching change, Jorge Jesus conducted a comprehensive reorganization of Amadora, showing strong execution and control, and he revived the vitality and fighting spirit of this Amadora team.

This is a team aiming to surpass.

What about Sporting Lisbon's second team?
Limited by the existence of the first team, it is impossible for the second team of Sporting Lisbon to overtake, so the team's top task in the Portuguese League is to relegation. As long as they complete the relegation, they have basically completed the task.

From the current point of view, the pressure to relegation is not great.

Different mental outlooks, showing different fighting wills, coupled with the different coaching styles of the head coach, made Amadora show an aggressive momentum from the very beginning.

Relatively speaking, the second team of Sporting Lisbon is more conservative, even weak.

"We must be able to hold the ball on the front line. This is the only way for us to solve the passiveness of the audience. Only by playing a threatening attack in front can the opponent not dare to press too much."

Head coach Jean James said with some distress.

His eyes first fell on Ronnie.

The No. [-] star of the second team is indeed very good at holding and dribbling the ball, and his speed is also very fast, but he is a bit too sticky to the ball, and it is easy to fall into a stalemate and hard fight on the side, and be trapped by the opponent.

Marcelino is slightly better, but the same problem exists.

The overall strength of Sporting Lisbon's second team is far inferior to that of their opponents, and it is hard to grab the ball. Once they cannot form an effective direct threat, it will only make their opponents more unscrupulous.

But it's clear that Ronnie is a pretty good breaker and wide player, but can't break the deadlock with the ball.

So did Marcelino.

Jean James glanced over Ronnie and Marcelino, and landed on Su Dong.

"Su, can you?"

Following a question from Yames, everyone in the locker room turned their attention to Su Dong.

For a moment, Su Dong seemed to feel the pressure of Wan Jun, like a mountain, pressing heavily on his shoulders.

Can I?

This is the first time head coach James asked him that.

Su Dong looked at Ronnie, and found that the latter nodded towards him with encouragement in his eyes, as if saying: You can, brother, I will definitely help you.

"Both Paul Fonseca and Raul Oliveira are tall and strong, especially Paul Fonseca, he is very smart and is the core of this team's defense. I need to expand my running range to avoid their defense."

When he said this, Su Dong felt a little excited in his heart.

This is tantamount to asking for the power of a frontcourt offensive core.

"Yes." Jean James nodded and agreed, "Edgar and Ronnie, as well as Hugo and Miguel, you should pay close attention to Su's running route and cooperate with his running position."

"The pass to me should go as far as possible on the ground and fight with my body. I have no advantage." Su Dong reminded his teammates.

Everyone around also nodded.

After all, Su Dong is only 17 years old. Paulo Fonseca and Oliveira are both 28 years old.

Facing such an experienced player, it is normal for Su Dong's body to have no advantage.

After the head coach James finished the task, everyone started to prepare separately.

Su Dong walked over, clapped hands hard with Ronnie, and bumped his shoulder.

"Brother, wait a moment and pay attention to my gestures, and rush if you have the opportunity."

Ronnie nodded and patted Su Dong on the shoulder again.

Before he knew it, Su Dong was already a teammate who could fight side by side with him, help him at the same time, and sometimes even perform better than him.

In today's Su Dong, Ronnie can't see a trace of the figure who couldn't play in the amateur league half a year ago.

He is very happy for Su Dong's progress, but at the same time he is also encouraging and urging himself to become stronger.

…………

…………

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Amadora still took advantage of the overall strength to suppress the second team of Sporting Lisbon.

The team was even forced to retreat into the 30-meter zone to defend from the very beginning.

In such a passive situation, it is difficult for the second Sporting Lisbon team to create opportunities.

The scene is almost one-sided.

Su Dong kept running, back and forth, left and right, as long as there was an open area, he would run there.

He is patiently waiting to see when his teammates can pass the ball out of the penalty area.

This time, I waited for nearly 10 minutes.

Jose Fonte made a beautiful block in the penalty area and blocked the opponent's center Campos with his body. After breaking the ball, he looked up at the front and quickly made a long pass.

The ball flew over the inside and outside of the most densely populated penalty area, and fell to the front of the 30-meter area.

Su Dong has been judging where the ball will fall, and he grabbed Paul Fonseca early and took the lead.

Paolo Fonseca took a step too late, bumping into Sudong's back with his whole body, trying to squeeze Sudong away.

After more than a month of physical training, Su Dong's body has also been greatly improved. When he was bumped by Paul Fonseca, he was almost knocked out of his position, but he reacted quickly. He leaned back and leaned on Fonseca with his body.

When the ball arrived, Su Dong swung his right foot, touched the ball lightly in mid-air, and slowed it down.

After the ball fell, it happened to be on Su Dong's right side, and he turned around, bumped Fonseca with his shoulder, and at the same time stretched out his hand to block him.

It's one of the tricks Cruise taught him to be effective at harassing opposing defenders.

Paulo Fonseca was delayed by Su Dong's series of actions, which made Su Dong successfully turn around.

Once you turn around, things are easy to handle.

Su Dong kicked his legs vigorously, poked the ball forward with his right foot, and his whole body moved like a rabbit, and quickly passed Fonseca's side.

The tacit understanding between Ronnie and Su Dong on the right is very good. As soon as he sees Su Dong holding the ball with his back, he presses forward.

The moment Su Dong threw Fonseca away, Ronnie followed suit.

"Nice turn and get rid!" Jean James shouted excitedly from the sidelines.

Two fast players quickly formed a counterattack in the frontcourt, forming a two-on-one situation.

After Su Dong threw away Fonseca, he regretted that he had not been able to practice his left foot well, otherwise, the direct left foot pass would be the most threatening.

But now, he can only keep approaching Oliveira with the ball, forcing the opponent to keep retreating.

On the outside of the opponent's penalty area, Su Dong realized that the opponent would not retreat any longer, and immediately passed the ball with his right foot to Ronnie, who inserted in the back.

But what I didn't expect was that Ronnie rushed too fast, and the first kick stopped too big.

Su Dong was a little stunned.

Brother, it's fine for you to be a prostitute, but at critical moments, don't make trouble!

　Brothers, let's not waste money at critical moments, begging for rewards, collections and recommendation tickets!Thank you!
