Chapter 30 Little God of War

Brazilian veteran Emerson is the core of Madeira United's defense.

He once played the main force in the Portuguese Super League team, but as he got older and the team was relegated, he gradually declined, and finally came to Madeira United to retire.

This is the fate of many professional players.

But after all, he used to be the main player in the Portuguese Super League team. He has fought with Porto, Benfica and other giants on the court.

This is why Madeira United can temporarily top the standings this season.

The 31-year-old Brazilian veteran is leading the 22-year-old young player. This pair of central defenders is the best-performing combination in the Portugal Second South Group this season. Among them, the young player Fabio Elworth comes from the Porto youth training.

The two have been partners for more than four months, and they have established a good tacit understanding long ago, and they have done their homework before the game.

In the away game against Athletic Portugal, the most threatening opponent is the opponent's young center Su Dong.

The 17-year-old is a rookie who has risen rapidly this season and has established himself as the main center in one fell swoop. This is very common in low-level leagues. Players rise quickly, but sink quickly.

Perhaps, like most rookies, Su Dong will be touted for a period of time, and then quickly fall.

……

After the start of the game, Madeira United took the lead in the away game.

This team can occupy the top spot because of their defense. Their own strength is not very good. It is not as good as a relegated Portuguese team like Orhanessen. They will play against Sporting Portugal. The scene is also a [-]-[-] situation.

In the opening 10 minutes, no one could do anything to anyone, nor could they create opportunities.

Su Dong ran very actively, but he couldn't get the ball out of the midfield. He mostly retreated to receive transitional passes.

It makes him seem less of a threat.

But at No. 13 minutes, after receiving the ball from the right, Baru tried to advance along the right, but the opponent's left back was prepared and stopped in time.

Balu just passed the center line, dunked the ball back, and crossed to the center.

Canelas stepped in from behind, stabbed the ball to the left before the defensive player, and dribbled the ball forward diagonally. The defensive player stayed close to the body, trying to force Canelas to pass the ball back.

……

Su Dong was cruising in front.

He first wanted to meet Baru, but after seeing Baru dribble the ball across the center line, he didn't start it, but passed it across.

So, Su Dong also walked to the middle road.

The opponent's two central defenders, one old and one young, always sandwiched him in the middle, not giving him any chance to easily get the ball.

But when Canelas took the first step to catch Baru's cross and dribbled the ball diagonally to the left, Su Dong noticed a gesture from the opponent's two central defenders.

The old central defender reached behind him and waved to the young No. [-] central defender, and the No. [-] central defender yelled for no reason.

After hearing the shout, the old central defender was obviously moving to the left.

In an instant, an idea popped up in Su Dong's mind.

The old central defender should move the line of defense to the left, and at the same time move his position further forward, so that the young central defender should pay attention to follow the movement to ensure that Su Dong can be controlled in time.

Almost at the same time, Su Dong thought of a possibility.

He followed the old central defender almost without thinking, ran two steps to the left, and shouted at Canelas.

The two moved at the same time, not only the old central defender Emerson was a little surprised, but the young central defender Elworth was a little panicked, and Canelas, after hearing Su Dong's shout, reacted, and took advantage of the opportunity to send a diagonal pass in front of him.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and no one at the scene even knew what was happening.

They just saw that after Su Dong yelled, he suddenly started next to Madeira United's central defender Emerson, and quickly slashed behind him, and Canelas also sent a diagonal pass knowingly.

The ball quickly fell to the left side of the penalty area, and Su Dong rushed to it.

The goalkeeper of Madeira United is the 32-year-old Brazilian veteran Adriano Facini. He used to play for Santos. He reacted very quickly and quickly abandoned the goal before everyone else.

Although he hadn't received the ball yet, Su Dong saw the goalkeeper's attack and noticed his running route and gestures, and immediately knew the opponent's mind like the palm of his hand.

He wanted to push me to the left so that the No. [-] central defender could return to the goal in time.

This is also the most reasonable choice for Su Dong right now, because he was originally sprinting to the left.

But after understanding the other party's thoughts, there was a subconscious voice telling Su Dong, don't do this!
At the moment of receiving the ball, Su Dong suddenly stopped suddenly. After catching the football with his right foot, he flicked it behind him lightly, stabilized his figure and turned around quickly.

This sudden turn of events shocked the goalkeeper Facini.

He originally thought that Su Dong would take the ball to the left, but he suddenly stopped and turned around.

Panicked, Facini also made an emergency stop, but in the end it was a hasty response. His body failed to stabilize his center of gravity in time and lost his balance. Su Dong pushed the ball behind him. Although it was a bit big, he turned around and quickly chased after him, shooting directly with his right foot.

The ball got into the unguarded empty goal at an extremely fast speed!
No. [-] central defender Elworth has just caught up to the front of the small penalty area, and there is nothing he can do.

"Wow!!!!"

After scoring the goal, Su Dong was so excited that he jumped up on the spot, clenched his right hand and waved it vigorously.

He clearly realized that Romario's "Wolf of the Restricted Area" brought him help, not only running on the field, but also a keen sense of the situation and guessing the opponent's psychology.

All the fans in the arena were also cheering, and many people were shouting Su Dong's name.

Although there were only 2000 people, they shouted in unison, and the momentum was quite large.

Su Dong excitedly rushed all the way to the sidelines, celebrating his goal towards the fans at the scene.

One to zero!

…………

…………

"Pretty!"

Like the excited sports fans around, Benfica's Vieira also stood up and shouted excitedly.

"The movement of this ball is very smart, and the handling is very sophisticated. It doesn't look like a 17-year-old kid at all, but like an old fox who has played football for decades." Vieira repeatedly praised.

Abel Silva kept nodding.

This goal looks quite ordinary, and it's not particularly beautiful, but there are many details that need to be dealt with. As long as one link is not handled properly, the goal will be impossible to score.

"He has improved again." Abel admired, "Compared to the last time I watched him play, he has improved significantly. This kid improves almost every game, and every time he is amazing."

Vieira nodded.

Before, he watched Su Dong's performance from the video, but the picture quality was very touching, and there was a sense of alienation, but when he watched the game live, he was really infected.

With a height of 1.9 meters and a fast rushing speed, it is almost like a supersonic tank.

Especially his last furious kick, it was too strong and powerful, and it was so hearty!

In Vieira's impression, this kind of shot has only been seen on a superstar, and that is Batistuta, the God of War.

"No wonder they call him Little God of War!" Vieira laughed.

Abel shook his head with a wry smile, "He doesn't seem to like this nickname."

"Oh why?"

"He feels that he is not small."

Vieira was stunned for a moment, then reacted and laughed loudly, "What an ambitious kid, I like it!"

…………

…………

After Sudong scored the first goal, Madeira United launched a counterattack.

Sporting Portugal will have a goal lead, and when they see their opponents counterattack, they will naturally turn to seek stability.

The situation changed again.

Su Dong was still at the front. The opponent was obviously more afraid of him than at the beginning of the game. The two central defenders followed him every step of the way, not giving him the slightest chance.

Even a few times, Su Dong ran out of the gap, but after he caught the ball, there was no teammate around him to keep up in time, which made it difficult for him to create a threat, and he seemed a little helpless.

Anyone can see that Su Dong's strength has surpassed that of his teammates, and the players in the athletics club can't keep up with Su Dong's pace. This makes everyone in the stands feel Su Dong's progress even more.

You know, a few months ago, Su Dong was still struggling in this team, but now, he has stood out from the crowd.

If this continues, how high can he develop?
……

As the saying goes, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief?

When Su Dong kept trying to find opportunities, Madeira United finally couldn't hold on.

Not long after the start of the second half, Madeira United tried to attack, but Athletic Club goalkeeper Mattello decisively abandoned the goal and attacked. After picking the ball in mid-air, he suddenly made a big kick and passed the ball directly to the frontcourt.

Su Dong keenly saw Mattello's intentions, and at the moment of the long pass, he was almost at the same position as Elworth.

The two started at the same time, but Su Dong's speed was faster.

When Elworth stretched out his hand and tried to hold Su Dong, he found that his opponent had already galloped away.

Su Dong, who succeeded in anti-offside, caught up with the ball outside the penalty area, stopped with his right foot, and stopped the ball in front of him.

Goalkeeper Facini attacked to the outside of the small penalty area. Facing Su Dong who was approaching with the ball, he kept guessing the opponent's intentions.

I saw that Su Dong's left shoulder suddenly sank, as if he was going to pull the ball to the left. When Facini was tricked to block it sideways, his left foot blocked the ball back to the right, and his right foot took advantage of the opportunity to shoot another angry shot.

Batty GOL!

The ball was blasted into Madeira United's goal again at an extremely fast speed.

Once again in the opponent's restricted area, Su Dong raised his clenched right hand high, turned towards his teammates who were rushing forward, and let out a roar like a lion, expressing his inner excitement.

At this time, Carlos, the technical director of Bellerences in the stands, also stood up excitedly.

"Sign him! Be sure to sign him for me!"

After a pause, he seemed to be afraid of any change of mind, and turned to Figurredo, "You go to Gorba now and say that we want to sign Su Dong."

But still feel uneasy.

"It still doesn't work, I'll go myself."

After speaking, he left the table.
