I Want to Be the King of Football

Chapter 61: Are you afraid?

   "Twenty-sixth, Facundo Queroga."

   "On the 28th, Cristiano Ronaldo."

  ……

   When the head coach Boloni called out the name, everyone in the locker room looked at Ronnie.

   Sitting in front of the closet, the Madeira boy was taken aback.

   Although he has been pursuing the first team's chance to play, and even pestering the coaching staff again and again, thinking that he has made all the preparations, when this moment really came, he was still shocked.

   This will undoubtedly become a historic moment in his career!

Ronnie nodded excitedly towards the coach, turned to look at Su Dong, opened his arms, leaned forward, and hugged Su Dong. The slightly trembling body showed his inner excitement at this moment. And excitement.

   Su Dong was also happy for him, but he was somewhat disappointed in his heart.

   Ronnie is finally on the list of eighteen people, how about himself?

  ……

   The roster of the first team consists of eleven starters and seven substitutes, for a total of eighteen.

   This is what is often referred to as the list of 18 people.

  Because Su Dong had never expected a big list before, he never paid attention to the big list.

   I just didn't expect that today the head coach will suddenly announce Ronnie to the big list.

   Just when Su Dong thought that the list was finished, the head coach Boloni continued to announce the list.

   "On the twenty-ninth, Cesar Pratt."

   This is a substitute for right back Beto Cefaro and a frequent visitor to the big roster.

   Unlike Ronnie’s excitement, Pratt is used to it.

   He has always been a member of the big roster, and even often starts.

   For such a player, entering the eighteen-man squad is just as common as eating and drinking. It is strange not to enter.

   Just now, Rodrigo Tello on the 11th didn't enter, and he was surprised.

   The Chilean left winger was brought in by Sporting Lisbon last summer and spent 6.3 million euros. This is definitely a high price and is also one of the team's most valuable and paid players.

   But his performance this season is unsatisfactory. He has not scored a goal so far, and he has only one assist. It was against Benfica. Apart from that, he hardly performed anything.

Net worth and annual salary make Sporting Lisbon have to use him, because the team is always reluctant to throw in Rodrigo Tello, so we can only continue to give trust and hope that he can adjust as soon as possible and show his strength. .

   This should be the first time since his winter break that he hasn't made the big list.

   Su Dong thought a lot, but Boloni did not stop, but directly announced the next name.

   "Thirty-sixth, Su Dong!"

   As soon as Boloni finished speaking, everyone in the locker room took a breath.

   Obviously, everyone was surprised.

   They all thought that the next announcement should be the 45th, Ugo Viana.

   Unexpectedly, it turned out to be No. 36 Su Dong.

   Su Dong himself was a little unexpected, his eyes widened, and he looked at Boloni in disbelief.

   The head coach nodded affirmatively at him and smiled.

   "Awesome, buddy, you are also on the big list." Ronnie was so excited that he almost jumped up.

   Su Dong is also full of excitement, and he has been waiting for this day to come.

  ……

   "Everyone."

   After announcing the rosters of the eighteen people, Boloni closed the notebook in his hand and walked to the middle of the dressing room.

"As I said before, I will examine every player of the first team and give everyone a chance to show themselves. So this time, Ronnie and Su Dong are on the big list. I believe everyone will see the daily training performance."

   Everyone nodded.

   has been training with the first team for almost three months, and the two have been improving.

  Everyone had been mentally prepared for a long time. Sooner or later, Su Dong and Ronnie were on the list.

"Nowadays, although we are advancing side by side on the two fronts of the Portuguese Super League and the Portuguese Cup, the pressure of the game is still very high, especially in the Portuguese Super League. Boavista and Porto are chasing behind. I believe everyone is well aware. The strength of these two teams, as long as we make a mistake, we may be overtaken at any time."

"Next, we will have to face Boavista and a derby against Benfica. There is also Maritimo in the strong team. These are very difficult opponents. If you are a little careless, you can always It may lose points and ruin the top position of the league."

   Boloni’s remarks are very solemn.

   It will be April, and the league is gradually coming to an end, but the pressure will only increase.

   As long as the winner is not decided for a day, Sporting Lisboa cannot relax its vigilance.

   "I also hope that the two players who entered the big roster for the first time can show your performance in the second team games and daily training, and make contributions to the team as much as possible."

   Su Dong and Ronnie nodded one after another.

  …………

  …………

   The afternoon training session is over.

   Boloni just announced his disbandment, and many teammates came over to congratulate Su Dong and Ronnie on the starting list for the first time.

   But there are also some players because they were squeezed out of the roster, and they were very upset and left in a hurry.

   Su Dong and Ronnie looked at each other, and they all saw the incredible in each other's eyes.

   Their long-awaited roster has finally arrived. Although I don’t know if they will play, this is a huge improvement.

   But in addition to excitement and excitement, both of them were worried.

   Ronnie looks very proud and confident on the surface, but in fact, he has a low self-esteem in his heart, but he hides this inferiority deeply and hides it with arrogance.

   Su Dong did not go to cover up too much, because he comes from a weak football country.

  Inferiority complex will become a motivation to stimulate him to move forward.

   He is eager to prove to everyone that he, from a weak football country, can also play football well.

  ……

   After entering the first team roster, many things have changed dramatically.

   For example, both of them will get a thick stack of information and information about their opponents, and there is also a video file inside, all of which are information about the opponent's players. This is to make them more familiar with the opponent.

   In fact, in the past two or three days, both of them have participated in the targeted training of the team.

Setubal is a balanced team. The offense is not brilliant. The biggest feature is that the counterattack is very good. Defense is their advantage. Their conceded this season is only compared to the fifth-ranked Belerences in the league. Two more.

   It can be seen that this team is a typical defensive counterattack team, which is a stubborn stubble.

   Su Dong needs to pay attention to their two main center defenders.

The 22-year-old Brazilian central defender Hugo, who is 1.9 meters tall, is slightly shorter than Su Dong, but weighs 85 kilograms, which is a heavyweight heavier than Su Dong. Like all Brazilian players, his skills at his feet are still better. can.

   The coaching staff also emphatically reminded that Hugo is a left-footed player.

Another is the 28-year-old Portuguese central defender Hugo Costa, who is 1.84 meters tall and weighs 83 kilograms. He has played for the Stoke City team in the English Championship for half a year and cannot adapt to the atmosphere of England. Finally returned to the Portuguese Super League.

   The two central defenders are the most classic combination of central defenders, one high and one spirit.

   Su Dong needs to study these two opponents before the game.

   Unlike Su Dong, Ronnie focused on the opponent's two full-backs.

   On the right is the 23-year-old Paul Ferreira. This is the most stable right back in the Portuguese Super League this season. It is said that he has been spotted by the giants including Porto, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon.

   On the left is Rui Andre. This is a player who has played all the way from the low-level league. He is good.

In addition to the defensive line, Setubal also needs to pay attention to the double midfielder, captain Elio Sosa and midfielder Sandro Mendes, these two players are the team's midfielder core, but also the ball The team’s rear defense barrier.

Since Valencia swept the European football with double midfielders and reached the Champions League final twice, although they failed to win the championship, the double midfielder tactics have prevailed throughout the Iberian Peninsula. Setubal coach Luis Campos Is the follower.

It is worth mentioning that Sandro Mendes used to play for Hercules, the Hercules of La Liga, and Villarreal of La Liga, but he did not get a chance at Villarreal. Return to the Portuguese Super League.

   It can be said that it is these six players that form Setubal's strongest defensive formation.

   For Sporting Lisbon, the real challenge to Setubal in the away scene is to attack the tough.

   How to penetrate the opponent's defense line and create an offensive threat while ensuring that one's own defense line does not make mistakes, this is a test.

   is as strong as Boavista and Benfica, UU reading www.uukanshu. com failed to score three points in the away game, only attacking the powerful Porto, which defeated Setubal 3-0 in the away game.

   To some extent, this can be regarded as a dead end for Sporting Lisbon.

  ……

   "It's really a difficult opponent."

   After reading the information, Su Dong didn't dare to feel the slightest numbness in his heart.

   With just this information in his hand, he can already feel the opponent's strength and the difficulty of the game.

   "This is only the 12th ranked team in the Portuguese Super League." Ronnie smiled bitterly.

   Su Dong kept nodding his head, who would say no?

   The 12th ranked team in the Portuguese Super League is so difficult, what about other teams?

   Boavista, Porto and Benfica?

   If there is a huge gap between the strengths and weaknesses of the Portuguese Premier League, and there are even some undesirable reserve teams, then in the Portuguese Super League, every team is powerful, and every game is doing its best.

   A little carelessness may degrade at any time.

   This is the brutal competition of the Portuguese Super League.

   And this is only the Portuguese Super League.

  To the four major leagues, even to the UEFA Cup, and even the European Champions Cup?

   "Are you afraid?" Ronnie suddenly looked at Su Dong seriously and asked.

   Su Dong nodded, "I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid that I won't be able to play, and I'm even more afraid that I will miss the chance to wait."

   Ronnie laughed.

  Whoever wants to say not to be afraid is absolutely hypocritical.

   This is like a war, and no one is not afraid.

   But there are things in this world that are more terrifying than fear.

   "As long as Boloni lets me go, I will upset Setubal's defense!"

   Ronnie made a bold statement.
