Chapter 258 Su Dong went berserk!

"The second half of the game is about to begin."

"Hitzfeld did not make any adjustments to the team's lineup and was obviously quite satisfied with the trend in the first half."

"Valencia made a substitution, Mista replaced Canobbio."

"It can be seen that Benítez was not satisfied with the performance of the Uruguayan players in the first half. Under the control of Bayern Munich's double defensive midfielders, Canobbio did not perform well in the first half and did not provide enough support for the forward line."

"Now Benítez has brought Mista on. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be bringing Su Dong back."

"This is also a tactical style often used by Valencia, with Su Dong playing a role similar to that of a number nine and a half."

Bierhoff analyzed the two teams' intentions in making substitutions during the half-time break and the possible changes that might result.

"Su Dong is a very interesting player. He is 1.95 meters tall, with excellent weight and strength. He can be called a giant on the football field. But what is incredible is that this giant can have magical footwork like a short player. He has outstanding footwork skills, speed and explosive power. He is also good at dribbling and long-distance running."

When Bierhoff introduced Su Dong, his tone was full of admiration, which made people see that as a senior, especially a fan, he was very optimistic about this European upstart who had recently emerged this season.

"Now, Benítez is pulling Su Dong back because he wants him to be away from Bayern Munich's defensive focus, connecting the midfield and the frontcourt, while also bringing out his ability to get in from behind."

"Su Dong has speed and explosiveness, excellent footwork and a keen sense of position, which will also be a big problem for Bayern Munich's defense."

"Look, Hitzfeld seems very nervous!"

…

After seeing Valencia replace Mista, the Bayern coach immediately walked to the sidelines, called center back Kovac and midfielder Ballack to the sidelines, and gave them careful instructions.

No one knows what Hitzfeld is saying, but it must be related to Su Dong.

After the substitution, Valencia needed to make some tactical adjustments, which allowed Bayern Munich to maintain its advantage in the first half and launched another round of attacks on Valencia's goal.

First, Ze Roberto kicked the ball from the left and made an accurate diagonal pass to find Makaay in the penalty area. Under the close defense of Ayala, Makaay still got the first point and headed the ball into the goal.

But this time, Cañizares reacted quickly and flew to save the ball.

Although they failed to score, the threat created by this attack was still quite great, which made the Bayern fans in the Olympic Stadium very excited. Many people even shouted for the home team to score another goal.

If Bayern Munich beat Valencia 2-0 at home, they would almost certainly secure promotion.

Just one minute later, another diagonal pass came from the full-back. After Valencia cleared the ball in the penalty area, Pizarro grabbed the ball at the front of the penalty area and swung his right foot directly! The ball passed through the dense crowd in the penalty area and headed straight for the goal at a very fast speed, but unfortunately it slipped slightly out of the goal.

A minute later, Ballack came from the back and fired a powerful shot with his right foot from the top of the penalty area, which again went wide of the left post.

As soon as the second half started, Bayern Munich launched a wave of attacks.

Hitzfeld was obviously very clear that they could not let Valencia dominate the tempo of the game when playing at home, so he tried to disrupt Valencia's deployment from the beginning and strive to further expand the score.

At least we have to maintain this goal lead.

But Valencia's defense is not a pushover either.

As the team with the best defense in La Liga, Valencia's three head coaches, from Ranieri to Cooper, and now Benítez, have one thing in common, that is, they attach great importance to defense, and the entire defensive system has been passed down all the way.

After gritting their teeth and holding off Bayern Munich's repeated attacks, Valencia finally breathed a sigh of relief ten minutes into the second half, as Bayern Munich began to slow down their offensive appropriately.

At this time, Valencia's two defensive midfielders began to exert their strength and tried to control the midfield.

Su Dong also actively cooperated with the double defensive midfielders, running constantly to support his teammates around him.

Gradually, Valencia's control over the midfield increased.

The midfield barely controlled the situation, especially Su Dong's retreat, which greatly enhanced Valencia's midfield ability to get the ball.

In the 58th minute, Su Dong retreated to the attacking midfielder position, held Hargreaves with his body, received the pass from Baraha, and successfully turned to the left, and passed the ball to the left with his left foot before Hargreaves blocked it.

With his back against the left side, Vicente stopped Su Dong's lob pass with his chest, and started forward before Sagnol. He used his speed to break through Sagnol on the wing and made a lob pass to the middle.

Mista and Robert Kovac jumped up at the same time in the middle of the penalty area to compete for the header, but the Bayern center back got a step ahead and headed Vicente's cross out of the penalty area.

But before Bayern fans could breathe a sigh of relief, they saw an nimble figure sprinting quickly to the front of the penalty area, meeting the flying ball, and with a touch of his chest, the ball landed steadily at the top of the arc.

Sotong!!!

The defenders of Bayern Munich were all terrified and rushed towards Su Dong frantically.

Especially Kufour, who was closest to the opponent, fell to the ground and made a tackle.

But before Kufuor's tackle arrived, Su Dong had already caught up, bent his left foot, put his right foot on the arrow, and fired a heavy shot directly at the goal.

"Su Dong!"

“The ball goes in!!!!”

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"In the 58th minute, Valencia equalized the score!"

"A powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area from Su Dong!"

"Goalkeeper Kahn failed to anticipate the long shot in time and although he made a save, he was unable to stop it."

"Valencia successfully equalized the score, one to one!"

After scoring the goal, Su Dong jumped up excitedly and waved his fists vigorously.

Valencia players also rushed towards him one by one to celebrate this precious away goal for him.

"It's unbelievable!"

“Su Dong’s performance in this game was good. He had a beautiful dribbling breakthrough in the first half, but unfortunately there was no cooperation from his teammates. Now he used his signature long-range shot to equalize the score for Valencia. It was really exciting!”

"Let's take a look at this slow-motion replay. Su Dong retreated and got the ball before quickly turning and sprinting."

"He was really fast. Hargreaves and Demichelis were unable to stop him in time, especially Demichelis. He wanted to grab the ball that Kovac had cleared, but Su Dong got there first."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"From retreating to receive the ball to passing it to the side, and then running all the way to the front of the penalty area to equalize the score for the team, Su Dong's performance was really quite surprising!"

"At the critical moment, Su Dong showed the qualities that a core player should have!"

"One to one, the current situation is starting to look unfavorable for Bayern Munich."

…………

…………

The purpose of the away goal system in the Champions League is to encourage teams to score more goals and attack more.

After seeing Sudon equalize the score for Valencia, Hitzfeld slapped his forehead hard. He was not surprised by the result, but it was difficult for him to accept it.

This away goal is fatal! According to the current situation, if Bayern Munich cannot score again, then they must strive for an away goal in the next round, which can offset Su Dong's goal.

At the Mestaña Stadium, it is not an easy task to break through Valencia's iron wall.

What's more, after learning from the lessons of the first round, Benítez will definitely be prepared.

Thinking of this, Hitzfeld became restless and immediately called Salihamidzic.

He wants a replacement!

In the 65th minute, Bayern Munich made a substitution, but did not replace the double defensive midfielders. Instead, they replaced the veteran Lizarazu who performed mediocrely tonight.

Obviously, Hitzfeld is still not satisfied with the team's attack on the left. He hopes that Salihamidzic can replace Lizarazu and launch more attacks on the team's left.

The intention of this substitution was quickly conveyed to the field, and Bayern Munich began to adopt a more aggressive style of play.

After making the substitution in the midfield, Benítez did not make another substitution easily, but instead took the initiative to signal the team to shrink the defense and take a defensive stance.

It is not a wise choice to go head-to-head with Bayern Munich at the Olympic Stadium.

Not to mention a team like Valencia, even the top teams may not have the courage to do so.

Shrink the defense, keep your own goal, and then wait for the opportunity.

This is undoubtedly the style of play that Valencia is best at.

And when Valencia retreated to defend, Bayern Munich's offense could hardly create much threat.

On the contrary, in the 76th minute, Valencia, who seemed to be extremely passive, suddenly intercepted the ball in the midfield.

After Albelda poked the ball away, Baraha quickly passed it to Sudong.

Su Dong received the ball sideways and accelerated immediately, got rid of Hargreaves, and rushed forward with the ball.

Demichelis rushed over immediately, but before the Argentine got close, he saw Su Dong suddenly take a step forward, suddenly accelerated, and rushed directly in front of him.

The way he rushed around was so brutal and unreasonable!

Even after rushing past Demichelis, he was attacked from both sides by Saniol and Kuffour. Su Dong, who was dribbling the ball as if he was in an empty space, actually accelerated directly and rushed through the two without waiting for the two to attack together.

Not only did he pass the ball past him, but his entire body was like a heavy tank rushing into a busy downtown area, knocking both Saniol and Kuffour away. It was so brutal and unreasonable!

All the Bayern fans in the stadium were stunned! When had they ever seen such a simple, direct, rough, yet so shocking football? Was this kid in a violent state? After knocking Kuffour and Sagnol away, the only ones standing in front of Su Dong were Kovac, who rushed over to fill the position, and Kahn, who attacked in front of the goal.

Behind Kovac, Mista raised his hands high to ask for the ball.

He's unguarded! Pass, or not?
