Chapter 690 A Stunning Blow

After the Champions League match against Bordeaux, Juventus' defense was questioned to a certain extent.

Chiellini is also to blame.

There was no way out. The team was tied 1-1 by the opponent at home. The media and fans all took out their anger on the team. The head coach and players were the first to bear the brunt, especially after conceding a goal. The defenders would definitely not escape the blame.

Chiellini is used to this.

At Juventus, he does all these dirty, tiring and thankless tasks.

Before leaving for the Allianz Arena, Ferrara made some adjustments to the defense, removing Grygera and replacing the more defensively stable Zebina with the soul-possessed Grosso on the left.

This creates an interesting situation, as Juventus' two full-backs are taller than their two central defenders.

Chiellini and Lerottale are both 1.85 and 1.86 meters tall, but Zebina is 1.89 meters and Grosso is 1.90 meters tall. They look more like central defenders.

But from this point it is not difficult to see that Ferrara has made the team's tactics clear from the very beginning.

Visiting the Allianz Arena, Juventus will strive to get three points, but the prerequisite is to be able to maintain a stable defense.

As long as we don't lose the ball, getting a point is a good thing.

In the game, Juventus' defense did meet the head coach's requirements, especially Chiellini.

He was Ferrara's teammate back then. The legendary Juventus central defender coached him a lot and gave him some help, so after Ferrara became the team's head coach, Chiellini also tried his best to help Ferrara.

When facing Bayern, Su Dong is a name that cannot be avoided.

Ferrara also made defensive arrangements specifically for Su Dong.

A very important aspect is to let the two full-backs retreat more and assist the central defender in defending Su Dong, especially to limit Su Dong's offensive threats from the flanks.

Sure enough, in the 82nd minute, when Su Dong received the ball, he launched an attack from the right rib.

But at this time, Chiellini and Grosso had already returned to the penalty area.

Two tall defenders formed a corner in the penalty area, attacking from both sides, preparing to team up to double-team Su Dong.

It would be best to give this world's top star a warning, let him know how powerful the Italian defender is, and also to avenge the shame of predecessors such as Maldini and Nesta! After all, Su Dong has played tricks on them a lot over the years.

…

Chiellini and Grosso formed a double-team with tacit understanding.

Su Dong rushed into the penalty area with the ball to the right side. When facing two defensive players, he suddenly stretched out his left foot and made a fake move as if he was going to cut inside with the ball.

The sudden movement startled Chiellini, and he instinctively tried to block it, but Su Dong suddenly kicked the ball back with his left foot, and his right foot got ahead of Grosso and blocked the ball back to the left with the inside of his foot. He also cut in and blocked Grosso directly with his body.

How regretful the unfortunate Grosso was at this moment. His soul was possessed by Facchetti, Maldini and others instead of Vieri who was physically stronger. Otherwise, he would not have been bullied by Su Dong like this.

While Su Dong used his body to block Grosso, he pulled the ball back to the front right with the inside of his left foot.

All this happened in the blink of an eye, and everyone felt dazzled. Su Dong pulled the ball with his left and right feet continuously, and suddenly brought the ball out from between two Juventus defenders. On the right side of the penalty area, facing the attacking Buffon, Su Dong made a light lob shot, and the ball jumped high and slowly fell down.

The ball fell inside the goal line behind Buffon, and the referee's whistle suddenly sounded at the same time!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"In the 82nd minute, Su Dong, who just came on as a substitute, scored a goal!!!"

"With a beautiful left-footed continuous pull of the ball, he broke through the double-team of two Juventus defenders, dribbled the ball to the right side of the penalty area, and shot with his right foot, breaking the deadlock for Bayern!"

The entire Allianz Arena was once again filled with overwhelming noise.

All the fans were shouting for Su Dong, and after Su Dong successfully shot the ball, he quickly rushed to the sidelines, running all the way while kissing the ring on his left hand.

One to zero!

Bayern finally broke the deadlock on the field!

More importantly, Juventus is in trouble now.

Should I continue to hide? Or should I press forward and fight?

…

Heynckes waved his fists excitedly on the sidelines.

He always believed that Su Dong was a player who could break the deadlock on the field at critical moments. In fact, Su Dong had never disappointed him and he could score goals as long as he played.

"Did you see that? Two defensive players couldn't stop him even when they were attacking him at the same time!" Heynckes' face turned red with excitement.

He himself was a center forward, so he understands better than anyone the difficulties faced by center forwards in European football today.

Someone once asked a question, which position on the field is the most difficult to play?

Some say it's the midfielder, some say it's the defender, and some say it's the goalkeeper.

But Heynckes believes that this is not a question because the answer has long been very clear.

forward!

This is the most demanding position on the football field and also the most difficult position to play.

Although all players want to be strikers, only a few of them can play as strikers and play well.

Precisely because it is difficult, the forward is the most eye-catching focus on the court.

Su Dong is the best striker in the world football today. To some extent, he has already opened up a considerable gap with other strikers. When he plays football, he makes light of heavy tasks and simplifies complex things. He has already reached a master-level realm.

Just like the breakthrough and goal just now, he looked very relaxed, but Heynckes knew better than anyone how difficult it was to score that goal, because Bayern had attacked for more than 80 minutes without scoring a single goal.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

None of the stars such as Klose, Thomas Muller, Ribery, Robben and others were able to succeed.

But after Su Dong came on as a substitute, he succeeded!

It's not that the others are too weak, but that Su Dong is too strong! …………

…………

Bayern finally beat Juventus 1-0 at home.

Su Dong scored the only goal of the game.

This won Su Dong unanimous praise from the media and fans after the game. Although he only played as a substitute for more than ten minutes, Su Dong became the most crucial player on the court.

Heynckes publicly praised Su Dong in the post-match press conference, believing that his body has not yet recovered to its best condition, but he is still the most threatening and decisive player on the court.

"I hope he can get back to his best form soon!"

Juventus head coach Ferrara also said that Sudong's stunning shot broke the originally stalemate on the field, which was not very fair to Juventus because they defended for more than 80 minutes and deserved a draw.

Buffon also revealed in an interview with Italy's Turin Sports Daily that Su Dong's goal was very exciting.

"In fact, the fact that Su Dong dribbled the ball through two defenders was worth the price of admission."

Buffon believes that Su Dong's breakthrough was very unexpected and reflects his strong personal ability.

But what shocked him most was Su Dong's handling of the situation after his breakthrough.

"I had noticed his movements a long time ago, and I was mentally prepared because I knew that Su Dong was never an easy player to defend. I thought he had the possibility of breaking through, so after he broke through, I attacked immediately."

"When I attacked, I had already estimated various ways that Su Dong would handle the situation. I thought he would most likely shoot low, which is the most likely way to do it and is also the easiest way for a player to handle the shot. Because at that time he pulled the ball with his left and right feet continuously and broke through the double-team of two defensive players, he had no time to think about how to shoot."

"I thought it would be a low shot, and I made arrangements for it. As long as he shot low, I could hold the ball or block it. But what I didn't expect was that Su Dong chose a lob shot which was several levels more difficult."

Buffon explained that it is actually very difficult to handle a lob shot at close range and at a small angle, because Su Dong's body has inertia. If it is not handled properly, the lob shot will go high.

"But Su Dong's handling of the ball was really beautiful. The ball was not fast, but the route and strength were very well controlled. After the game, I watched the video in the locker room. The ball almost brushed the bottom edge of the crossbar and went into the goal. I was really powerless to stop it."

Not only Buffon praised Su Dong's goal, but Germany's Bild also gave Su Dong, who only played for ten minutes, a rare high score of one point after the game, and believed that Su Dong's goal was perfect.

Bild stated that Su Dong's goal fully demonstrated his superb personal ability and keen shooting sense.

"Without any time to think, he seized the only opportunity purely by relying on his physical intuition and scored a goal against Juventus with a lob shot."

Bild believes that Su Dong’s role as the number one superstar can be seen during the game.

This is something that no other Bayern player can replace.

"In the past, many people thought that even without Su Dong, Bayern could still score goals. Players like Ribery, Robben and Klose could fill the gap left by Su Dong because they are all world-class superstars."

"But there will be more games like the one against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium in the past, present and future to prove Sudon's worth and his indispensability."

Kicker magazine believes that Su Dong's goal seems too easy, which has given many people an illusion that it is so simple, like a free goal, that anyone can score it, even if the fans are on the field.

But only when we lost Su Dong, everyone would deeply realize the value of Su Dong and feel how happy it was to have a player like Su Dong.

Not only Bild, but Kicker magazine also analyzed Su Dong's goal in great detail in its Champions League special issue, believing that it was definitely a classic goal of extremely high difficulty.

"In fact, facing Juventus' excellent and solid defense, only this kind of extremely difficult goal can have a chance to score, and only a scorer like Su Dong can have the opportunity to create such a goal!"
