Chapter 558 Su Dong's Challenge

"How is it? Are you used to staying in Bayern?"

While there was no one around Su Dong, Rosell and Bartomeu walked over with a smile.

Pepe and Jose Semedo, who were not far away, saw this and wanted to come over to help, but Su Dong secretly made a gesture to them.

Facing these two guys, Su Dong doesn't need anyone's help.

"It's not bad. We've scored 27 goals in 17 games. Judging from our current goal scoring efficiency, as long as we don't get injured or sick, we should be able to break 50 again. We've played five games in the Champions League and scored eight goals, which is indeed a bit lower than last season."

Su Dong said this with a smile, and people who heard it felt that he was too Versailles.

But Rosell and Bartomeu felt more ashamed and angry after hearing this.

Last season, Sudon only played sixteen games for Barcelona but won the season's top scorer. This was hailed as a shame for Barcelona and brought shame to the entire La Liga. Rosell and Bartomeu were the initiators of this incident.

Seeing the two men’s frustrated looks, Su Dong laughed in his heart.

Would these two guys come over to say hello to him out of kindness? Don't be ridiculous. From the day Su Dong decided to leave Barcelona, ​​there was no way he could reconcile with the club.

Even if Laporta comes back to power, Su Dong will not change his mind.

It is true that spilled water cannot be recovered.

In this case, why should we save face for two people who are like strangers?

"I heard that Barcelona's recent situation is not very good. They are four points behind Real Madrid in the standings?"

To Su Dong, Real Madrid is indeed quite bad. Facing such internal and external troubles as Barcelona, ​​they are only leading by four points.

What hurt Barcelona the most was the 1-0 loss to Real Madrid at the Camp Nou. The loss was not very devastating, but it was extremely insulting because they lost to Real Madrid at the Camp Nou.

Rosell and Bartomeu have both been having a tough time lately.

Technical director Begiristain was resigned as a scapegoat after the end of last season, and vice-president Ferran Soriano also left. The current Barcelona management is dominated by Rosell, and the opposition Laporta has basically no power.

But in this case, the blame for the team's poor performance will naturally be put on Barcelona.

"You know what? I think Barcelona's biggest luck so far this season is that they didn't draw Bayern in the Champions League group stage draw. The best result is that they won the first place in the Champions League group stage. I hope you can have better luck and don't lose in the round of 16 again."

Last season, Barcelona was eliminated in the round of 16. Su Dong's implication was simple. Barcelona and Bayern were both group leaders and would not meet in the round of 16, so he hoped that Barcelona would not be eliminated in the round of 16, so that he would have the opportunity to meet Barcelona in the Champions League on behalf of Bayern.

He wants to take revenge personally!

Watching Su Dong leave, Rosell and Bartomeu were so angry that their teeth ached.

They simply wanted to come over and get close to Su Dong, and by the way, do some publicity to give the outside world the impression that they had a good relationship with Su Dong. However, they didn't expect that Su Dong saw through their thoughts and didn't give them such an opportunity at all.

Now that they have been ridiculed for a while, they are actually looking for someone to beat them up.

This made the president and vice-president of Barcelona look very ugly.

"What did you talk to them about? Why do they look so ugly?" Beckenbauer walked over and asked with concern.

Su Dong glanced at Rosell and Bartomeu, not taking it to heart at all, "Nothing, I just hope they can make it through the round of 16."

Beckenbauer laughed. Of course, as a cunning old man, he knew what Su Dong meant, but it was a good thing for Bayern.

Su Dong, Ribery, Robben, and even many other players, were all holding back anger in their hearts, even the head coach Heynckes, so there was a reason why they called Bayern the Avengers.

This is also a good thing for Bayern.

The two of them tacitly avoided the topic of Barcelona and instead focused on tonight's awards ceremony.

Beckenbauer, who has great connections, already knew the result.

Just like the Ballon d'Or, Cristiano Ronaldo is first, Kaka is second, Messi is third, Su Dong is fourth, followed by Drogba.

The other two shortlisted players for Bayern this time are Ribery and Lahm. Ribery finished eleventh, slightly higher than the Ballon d'Or. Lahm's nomination was somewhat surprising, but he did not receive any votes and ranked last.

Beckenbauer was very satisfied with the result.

When the two were chatting, the Football Emperor took the initiative to mention some things about the team, such as Sagnol's request for a transfer.

The French right-back returned from injury at the end of November, but it is now difficult for him to grab a starting position because Lahm has performed at a very high level as a right-back, so Sagnol is clamoring to transfer to Juventus during the winter break.

"We have comforted him and will not let him transfer." Beckenbauer signaled Su Dong to rest assured.

The team's biggest weakness at the moment is the substitute lineup. If they let Sagnol go during the winter break, where can they find a reliable substitute temporarily? "As we have speculated before, in recent years, the development trend of European football has become more and more obvious, and the role of wingers has become more and more important. Strong teams either need strong wingers or strong center forwards, otherwise, they can't play at all."

Su Dong admired the Bayern Big Three's prediction of the development trend of football, and facts proved that they were right.

We can see the clues from Real Madrid.

Van Nistelrooy and Raul are both world-class scorers, but Real Madrid's offense can hardly be considered strong. The reason is that wingers like Robinho and Higuain are not strong enough.

Without strong wingers, and neither Van Nistelrooy nor Raul are modern center forwards, Real Madrid's offense can easily get into trouble, which was particularly evident in the strong dialogue with Bayern.

On the other hand, in the detailed team blueprint given to Su Dong by the Bayern Big Three and Heynckes, they clearly defined the strategy of using Su Dong as the center forward and organizing two strong wingers from the very beginning, clarifying Bayern's offensive core. This allowed Bayern to play offensive football this season and launch a wonderful attack.

The Bayern trio are not the only ones who understand this in European football. Ferguson of Manchester United is also very clear about this. So after sculpting Cristiano Ronaldo, he stepped up efforts to introduce Nani and Anderson.

After having a strong wing attack, Ferguson introduced Saha and was rumored to want to introduce Berbatov from Tottenham Hotspur, all in order to have a strong center forward position in the frontcourt to play a tactical role.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The same situation is with Chelsea, which also has a strong center forward like Drogba and a strong winger.

The rise of wingers has been very obvious, and this is also related to the double defensive midfielders in the 4-2-3-1 formation that was popular before, or even the three defensive midfielders in the 4-3-3 formation. After all, there is less space in the middle, and the crosses from the two wings lack efficiency, so using wingers to attack the opponent's flanks has become an inevitable option.

But the wingers here are not the traditional type of wingers, but a new type of wingers like Ronaldo, Messi and Ribery.

The difference is that if he were a traditional winger, Robben should be on the left, but now he is arranged on the right, cutting inside, which is specially tailored for attacking the ribs.

This trend can be seen very clearly in the voting rankings for the Ballon d'Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year.

Among the top five players, Ronaldo and Messi are wingers, Sudon and Drogba are center forwards, and Kaka belongs to another type, that is, defensive counterattack.

Although many people say that Ancelotti's AC Milan innovated Pirlo's position and responsibilities, and their ball control style is very beautiful, but deep down, AC Milan plays defensive counterattacks. Kaka's most threatening feature on the court is his speed, especially his ability to change speed.

Through the conversation with Beckenbauer, Su Dong clearly knew that the management had a very clear strategic direction, firmly grasped the development trend of European football, and concentrated its efforts in this direction, which gave Bayern a better chance of success.

For Su Dong, there was actually no suspense about the subsequent award ceremony.

Toni Kroos won the U17 World Cup Best Player, Aguero won the U21 World Cup Best Player, Barcelona won the Fair Play Award, the FIFA President's Award was given to Pele, and the Team of the Year was given to the Argentina national team.

The FIFA World Player of the Year award went to Brazil's Marta, while the FIFA World Player of the Year award went to Cristiano Ronaldo.

That is, when the grand prize was awarded, the suspense deliberately created on the scene was somewhat interesting, especially when the presenter Pele almost gave the award to Kaka, which caused laughter on the scene.

Pele also used a joke to defuse the situation, saying that he really wanted to give the award to Kaka.

In his acceptance speech, Ronnie once again expressed his gratitude to Su Dong, especially mentioning the summer of 2006.

"Without you, I wouldn't be standing on this podium today. Thank you, Sue, my best friend!"

There was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

Su Dong was also infected by the atmosphere on the scene and was quite excited.

After the award ceremony, in an interview with media reporters, Su Dong said that he was very happy to see his best friend win the award. He also believed that Ronnie deserved the award.

"I want to say that it is only natural for Ronaldo, Messi, or Kaka to win the award. They are all the top stars in the world of football today. I don't agree with Ronaldo's assumptions. Even if many things didn't happen, I believe he would still win the award."

Su Dong also expressed his expectations for Messi, believing that he is the next player with the opportunity to win the World Footballer of the Year and the Ballon d'Or.

"From the first day I met him, I knew he would be an incredible player. I believe he would surprise the world, he would become a great player and would stand on this podium like Ronnie tonight."

As for himself, Su Dong said that he would continue to work hard and was willing to accept Ronnie's challenge.

"In the coming year of 2008, I will do my best to challenge the supreme throne. Ronnie and Messi are both defenders. I hope they are well prepared. I will not show mercy!"

Su Dong's letter of challenge also spread all over the world that night.
