"Do you want to be the king of football?"
"Yes!"
Su Dong embarks on a journey to become the king of football!
Chapter 669: Pique, are you out of your mind?
The Champions League final will be held at the Olympic Stadium in Rome at 20:30 local time on the 27th in Italy.
Players from both teams appeared at the player tunnel.
When Su Dong saw Messi and others coming out, he immediately went to greet them.
"Hey, brother!" Su Dong smiled, opened his arms and hugged Messi.
Messi was also very happy and hugged Su Dong warmly.
Iniesta also came over, high-fived Su Dong, and then gave him a warm hug, not letting go for a long time.
Both of them are the players in the Barcelona team who have the closest relationship with Su Dong, and are also Su Dong’s best friends.
Although Xavi, Puyol and others have good relations with the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, there are still many gaps between them, especially Puyol.
In this game, he is the opponent that Su Dong will face directly.
Another one is Pique.
Speaking of which, Pique is really interesting.
Born into a famous local family in Barcelona with a good family background, just like Fabregas transferred to Arsenal, Pique also hoped to make a name for himself in Manchester United. However, the combination of Vidic and Ferdinand was too solid, so Ferguson could only loan him out.
He played well in La Liga, but it was difficult to get opportunities at Manchester United, so Pique returned to Barcelona.
This season, under Mourinho's coaching, Pique has secured a key position in Barcelona's defense.
Tonight, Valdes is in goal, while Abidal, Pique, Puyol and Alves form the back line.
Seydou Keita, Xavi, Yaya Toure and Iniesta partnered in midfield, while Eto'o and Messi formed the front line.
As Heynckes expected, Mourinho adopted a 4-4-2 formation.
The dark and tough midfield of Seydou Keita and Yaya Toure can improve Barcelona's midfield thickness and interception ability. At the same time, these two players have good footwork and can deal with Barcelona's midfield passing and controlling the ball.
…
Su Dong was very happy to see his old friend again.
He, Messi and Iniesta were at the end of the team, the three of them were talking and laughing.
Su Dong found an opportunity to ask Messi if he wanted him to help him teach Pique a lesson again?
This is what Messi said to Su Dong back then, but later Pique went to Manchester United and Su Dong never had the chance to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, they meet in the Champions League final now. What Messi could not have imagined was that Pique is now his teammate, and Su Dong has become his opponent.
So, Messi could only scratch his head awkwardly and told Su Dong not to take it seriously and to play slowly.
"You have already won several Champions League titles, let me win one too!" Messi had an expression that said, "You have to be loyal, buddy."
Su Dong chuckled and said, "Want the Champions League? Let's see if you have what it takes!"
The three of them talked about a lot of things, but none of them had anything to do with the finals.
For example, Messi is working on expanding his mansion. He plans to sell Su Dong's villa and the one he bought originally, connect the two villas into one, and then hire a designer to redesign a larger mansion.
"Wow, this is a big project. You've become rich recently!" Su Dong said with a smile.
Messi is now considered a world superstar and a player valued by Barcelona. His salary has soared after the contract renewal, which is more than enough for expanding the villa. He is no longer the rookie who needed to borrow money from Su Dong to buy a house.
But whether it is Messi or Iniesta, they all still remember the help that Su Dong gave them.
Of course, personal favors are one thing, but when it comes to football games, they are still mortal enemies.

Inside the Olympic Stadium in Rome, the temperature was 23 degrees Celsius, the humidity was 71, and there were 67,467 fans on the scene.
The stands were crowded with guests.
In addition to UEFA President Platini and a number of UEFA senior executives, Spanish King Juan Carlos and Spanish Prime Minister Zapatero came to the scene to cheer for Barcelona. German Chancellor Merkel also came to Rome with government officials to cheer for Bayern Munich. Together with Italian Prime Minister Berlusconi and other government officials, the scene was filled with political and business celebrities.
The organizers also arranged a short but grand performance in conjunction with the theme of the city of Rome, with the protagonist being Jupiter, the king of the ancient Roman gods, covered in thunder and lightning.
When the performing dancers gathered in the middle of the stadium, the two teams' huge team flags were lifted above their heads and slowly entered the stadium, standing on both sides of the stadium, while the Italian blind tenor Bocelli began to sing the theme song of "Gladiator".
The model, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked into the stadium slowly, holding the big-ear cup.
There was a sudden burst of thunderous applause and cheers at the scene.
After Bocelli finished singing the theme song of "Gladiator", he immediately started singing the theme song of the Champions League.
Players from both teams slowly walked into the Olympic Stadium to the singing of Bocelli.
Thunderous cheers suddenly broke out in the stadium, and the pre-match atmosphere was raised to the extreme.
The atmosphere of the finals is about to explode! …………
…………
The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense line is Marcelo, Pepe, Lucio and Lahm, the midfield is Mascherano, Schweinsteiger and Modric are in the center, and the frontcourt is the combination of Ribery, Sudon and Robben.
Like Barcelona, Bayern also had a full lineup in this game, with all the main players appearing in the starting lineup.
Players such as Klose and Toni Kroos were sitting on the bench, ready to play at any time.
After Mourinho shook hands politely with Heynckes, he returned to his own coaching seat with a frown on his face.
No matter how confident he sounded in front of the media before the game, deep down he knew very well that Bayern did have a slight advantage.
The key lies in the Soviet Union.
In fact, even now, he is not sure that the team can limit Su Dong.
This is something that no one can do! In all these years, which team dares to say that they can freeze Su Dong? The answer is, no!
If they can't restrict Su Dong, how can they play the game? This is a big problem facing almost all Bayern opponents. If you think about it more deeply, there is a high probability that Su Dong will score a goal. That is to say, any team facing Bayern must consider what to do if Su Dong scores a goal? "It's not easy to deal with!" Mourinho said distressedly.
No matter how hard he racked his brains, he ultimately failed to find a way to effectively restrain Su Dong.
Therefore, he can only rely on the players' on-the-spot performance.
Puyol is not as tall as Sudong, but Pique can compete with Sudong, but can he succeed?

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
On the field, players from both teams lined up in a row. After taking a group photo, Bayern players walked past the Barcelona players one by one and shook hands with them.
When Su Dong came to Pique and reached out to hold Pique's hand, the Barcelona central defender smiled at Su Dong provocatively.
"I've heard about you for years, and I've always wanted to compete with you. Tonight, I'll prove to everyone that I'm the best center back in the world!"
Su Dong found it quite interesting. After all these years, it seemed like this was the first time someone had provoked him in person like this.
"Are you so confident?" Su Dong couldn't help but recall Messi's evaluation of him back then.
Pique raised his head and showed his chin. "In a word, I can defend against forwards that others can defend against, and I can defend against forwards that others cannot defend against even better. There is no strongest, only stronger. This is me, Gerard Pique!"
arrogant!
So arrogant! Su Dong even suspected that this guy thought he was the hero of this novel? Why did he act so arrogant as soon as they met?
Who gave you the courage? "Interesting. I hope your strength is as good as your eloquence." Su Dong said with a smile.
The two of them shook hands quickly, and no one else noticed anything. Only people around them could hear their conversation.
"Gerald, I don't think you should provoke him."
After completing the process, they returned to their own half. Captain Puyol went to guess the sides with Bayern captain Lahm, and then Iniesta frowned and spoke to Pique.
"Why?" Pique asked curiously.
"I know Su Dong. Although he is calm, he is arrogant in his bones. Provoking him like this will only make him more powerful and motivated, which is not a good thing." Iniesta complained.
A normal performance of Su Dong is already difficult enough to deal with. If Su Dong performs exceptionally well, will Barcelona survive?
Unexpectedly, Pique just laughed after hearing this.
"I just hope that he can perform better, so that I can show my strength. Through this game, I want to completely shatter Su Dong's so-called myth and let everyone know that he is no longer invincible because I can freeze him!"
Iniesta looked at Pique as if he was a fool. He thought, is this kid out of his mind?
I knew he was a bit arrogant on a daily basis, but I didn't know he was to this extent.
Did that Portuguese madman give you the courage? Who is Su Dong? Need I say more? But as a teammate, Iniesta didn't say much, but was more worried.
He and Su Dong are close friends, so he knows Su Dong's character.
Nowadays, the more polite Su Dong is, and even the more he smiles, it just proves that he is more excited.
Although Su Dong usually performs very well, in fact, he is definitely a big game player.
The more important the game, the more crucial the moment, the more provocative and stimulating he is, the better he will perform.
It is irrational for Pique to provoke Su Dong at this time!
…
"That boy is really arrogant! He actually dared to challenge you in person!"
Pepe was standing in front of Su Dong just now and heard the conversation between the two clearly. After returning to his own half, he looked at Su Dong with a chuckle, as if he wanted to see his deflated expression.
Su Dong did not comment, "It's better to be a little crazy. Professional players should be confident."
Just when Pepe was surprised at Su Dong's change of character, Su Dong changed the subject.
"Seeing him so confident, I feel relieved. I don't have much psychological burden to abuse him."
Pepe was secretly happy, this was the Su Dong he knew.
Just at this moment, when Lahm and Puyol were guessing the sides, Barcelona won the right to kick off.
This caused the Barcelona fans at the scene to burst into warm applause, as if it was a preemptive strike.
Barcelona, who are good at controlling the ball, won the right to kick off and did gain a slight advantage.
But Bayern was well prepared for this.
When the whistle sounded to start the game and Messi kicked the ball to Eto'o, Su Dong sprinted forward quickly.
Seeing Eto'o pass the ball back, Su Dong did not slow down and went straight to Barcelona's midfield and even the defense line.
The first to be affected is Pique.
