Future superstar!

On the second day of the peak match between Sporting Lisbon and Porto, the Portuguese Morning Post once again used Su Dong as the headline on the front page, praising the young center with a prominent headline.

In the news, the Morning Post first used a report to introduce this nationally focused battle, emphasizing Porto's strong strength and advantages, but at the same time affirmed Sporting Lisbon's defense.

"For more than an hour, Su Dong has been patiently waiting and looking for opportunities."

"Jorge Costa and Carvalho, the best central defender combination in the Portuguese Super League this season, have never left him any gaps. The zero-turnover performance is almost perfect, so Sudong can only create opportunities by consuming his opponents."

"This is a tactic that injures the enemy one thousand and self-injures eight hundred."

"Fortunately, Sudong finally got his chance. First, he opened the scoring for Sporting Lisbon with a high jumping header. Then he retreated to defend and steal the ball from Jorge Costa. After that, he distributed it to Quaresma. After that, he inserted an angry shot at high speed and scored for Sporting Lisbon."

"The two goals reflect Su Dong's tactical value inside and outside the penalty area."

"Although he is talented, his tactical role has far exceeded his age."

"At the Alvalade Stadium, Su Dong reminded us of Kluivert back then, and made us believe that he will be a superstar player in European football in the future."

In addition, the Morning Post also used a report to explain the importance of this game to both sides.

Comments said that this is an important node in the Portuguese Super League championship battle this season.

"With Porto already leading by [-] points, if we lose this game and the gap widens to [-] points, then there will be no suspense for the league championship. This is unacceptable to all Porto opponents."

The Morning Post believes that Su Dong scored twice at a critical moment and successfully sniped Porto, which brought suspense to the Portuguese Super League championship. This is not only for Sporting Lisbon, but also for all Porto's opponents.

"For Su Dong, these two goals brought him to eight goals in the Portuguese Super League this season, which is close to double digits. So far, he has scored goals in two contests with Porto."

"Now, the biggest suspense in the Portuguese Super League is whether Porto can quickly get out of the shadows and reverse the situation after experiencing this heavy blow? And can Sporting Lisbon rely on this victory to go all out and continue to pursue Porto?"

……

The Portuguese public newspaper used the headline "Supernova shines in the audience, the Green Lion wins the focus game", and the cover is the scene where Su Dong jumped high and beat Jorge Costa to score with a header.

In the report, the public newspaper believes that Su Dong's brace made everyone see his strength and potential, and at the same time created another entanglement in the history of the confrontation between the two teams.

"If Porto finally misses the league championship, the battle directed by Su Dong will be remembered by the fans of the two teams."

The report also stated that Su Dong represents the future of Sporting Lisbon, coupled with 19-year-old Quaresma and 17-year-old Ronnie, Sporting Lisbon's front trident is very young and has unlimited potential.

"This is not an easy game, this is a peak match representing the highest level of the Portuguese Super League."

"But in such an important game, Su Dong, Ronnie and Quaresma all showed their best performances. Sporting Lisbon's frontcourt attack repeatedly created threats, and finally broke Porto's goal twice."

The public newspaper believes that Su Dong, who scored twice, deserves to be elected as the best player of the game.

"Although many people recognize the performance of Andre Cruz and Albertini, in fact, throughout the whole game, Su Dong's tactical role and threat have been holding back Porto, preventing the league leader from fully attacking."

"At the end of the game, his double scored made Porto suffer an unprecedented setback this season. This is not only reflected in the three points in this game, but it is more likely to lead to Porto's entire defeat in the Portuguese Super League."

"With these two goals, Su Dong has scored eight total goals in the Portuguese Super League this season. This is not the most in the Portuguese Super League, but he is the youngest. More importantly, Su Dong has five assists."

The public newspaper also specifically listed the data on the Portuguese Super League scorer list and assist list this season.

According to statistics, Su Dong currently ranks third in the Portuguese Super League scorer list with eight goals, behind Benfica winger Simao's ten goals, and the Portuguese national team's Brazilian striker Adriano, who scored nine goals.

On the current scorer list, Sudong is the same as Porto's Postiga and Santa Clara's Fabrizio Ceara, who scored eight goals. Farifaye from Beiramar, Benfica's Thiago and Porto's Deco, these three players scored seven goals and tied for sixth place in the scorer list.

In addition to the scorer list, in the assist list, Su Dong tied for the top of the assist list with five assists.

With the same number of assists as Su Dong, it is Deco, the midfielder core from Porto, who also has five assists.

After listing this data in the public report, they affirmed Su Dong's performance this season in an astonishing tone.

Deco is considered to be the player with the best performance and the most stable performance in the Portuguese Super League in the past two or three seasons. Many people even believe that Deco is the best player in the Portuguese Super League this season.

"But from the data point of view, Su Dong's performance is not inferior to Deco, with eight goals and five assists, and even one more goal than Deco. Everyone must pay attention to that, except for the absence of Deco in the first round of the league, the rest of the games played all the games, while Su Dong missed many games or was reduced to a substitute."

Public Daily believes that Su Dong's playing time is far less than that of Deco, but the data provided and the performance on the court are not inferior to Deco, which undoubtedly proves Su Dong's value and role.

"He is vastly underestimated."

"Including us, everyone seriously underestimated the importance of Sudong to this Sporting Lisbon team."

"Perhaps Boloni should reconsider his positioning of Sudong."

……

The long reports of the Morning Post and the Public News spread throughout Portugal at an extremely fast speed.

In particular, the data analysis of the public newspaper shocked everyone.

Before this, no one even thought that Su Dong had unknowingly been compared with the Portuguese Super League top star Deco, how unbelievable this is.

But now, the stats and performance he produced are not inferior to Deco in the slightest.

As the public newspaper said, Su Dong's role and performance have been seriously underestimated.

Because of his age, because he was suppressed by Boloni, because he was not taken seriously.

But now, with the performance of the game against Porto, the importance of Sudong has become very obvious.

Sporting Lisbon midfielder Albertini was full of praise for Sudong's performance in an interview with the media.

"He is already a vital core player for the team. He is developing at an incredible rate. He is improving every game. The future is unimaginable."

"I have sent information to Milan's scouting team. I told them that he will be the most promising center forward in European football in the next ten years. They should seriously examine this player."

In addition to Albertini, Porto coach Mourinho also publicly expressed his interest in Sudong at the post-match press conference, and said that it would be a wonderful thing if Sudong could be introduced during the winter break.

"There is no doubt that he will be the last piece of the puzzle on our tactical board!"

"I believe he will make us stronger and more aggressive!"

The solicitation from the deadly enemy made Sporting Lisbon fans feel an unprecedented threat.

Many fans have called the club management, asking them not to sell Sudong anyway.

"Without Su Dong, what do we have to compete with Porto for the championship?"

"This is a conspiracy by Porto. They just want our star and the Portuguese Super League champion!"

"We must keep Su Dong, he is the team's hope for the Portuguese Super League championship!"

When interviewed by the media, Sporting Lisbon fans were worried about the team's decision-making.

Some emotional female fans even threatened, "If you dare to sell Su Dong, I will die for you!"

Under the pressure from the fans, technical director Aurelio Pereira immediately said in an interview, "The club has no intention of selling Su Dong. He is one of the most important players in our team. We have no reason to sell our best and most potential players during the winter break."

Public opinion quickly followed suit.

The Morning Post interviewed an anonymous person inside Sporting Lisbon and said that Sporting Lisbon will not sell Sudong during the winter break.

"Selling Sudong when Nikulei's performance is sluggish is tantamount to committing suicide. No one would do such a stupid thing."

But this anonymous person also revealed that it does not rule out selling Sudong this summer.

"We all know that the team needs to raise more funds to renovate the stadium and operate the team. It is difficult for us to retain outstanding young players like Su Dong. This has been the case for so many years."

The club's public statement gave the fans a reassurance.

As for the summer transfer, this is not something they can control now.

Su Dong didn't say anything about it. He didn't even accept media interviews, and his agent Mendes didn't make any public statement. This made the rumors of Su Dong's transfer during the winter break quickly subsided.

But everyone knew that as Su Dong's performance became better and better, he began to attract more and more teams' attention and favor.

Porto is just the beginning.

……

No one knew that when the outside public opinion gradually subsided, somewhere in Madrid, Javier Subirac, who had met Su Dong a few times, handed over a player profile.

This thick player information is all the players that Subirac has been investigating recently.

And the top piece of information is surprisingly Su Dong from Sporting Lisbon.
