Chapter 1018 Peak Battle
Su Dong woke up at dawn.
Lying on the soft bed, what comes into view is my familiar bedroom. I can feel the body temperature of my fiancée beside me and her soft breathing. Everything is so familiar that it makes me feel at ease.
After taking a few deep breaths, he could still smell the familiar and unique scent of blue wind chimes coming from the beauty beside him. He had been fascinated by this unique scent since the first time they met.
He got up quietly, gently pulled the quilt for Wang Chuqing, and left the bedroom quietly.
Everything is just like usual.
After washing up, he went straight to the gym downstairs and started his day's training.
Over the years, he has maintained a good sleeping habit. Unlike some of his teammates, he does not need medication to fall asleep, so his biological clock is also very punctual. No matter how late he goes to bed, he will get up at this time.
A series of simple muscle recovery exercises are carried out in the home gym. This is a complete set of post-match muscle recovery exercises tailored for Su Dong by Nuno Cruz. Over the years, some projects have been changed to keep up with the times, and Su Dong has always persisted, which has kept his body in very good shape.
Even though he had some minor injuries occasionally this season, they did not affect his performance, which is very commendable.
When it comes to attendance rate, Su Dong has a very high rate among all the players.
All of this is inseparable from the personal coaching team behind the scenes.
Although it was a recovery exercise and the intensity was not high, and it was just daybreak, it was mid-May after all, and I was sweating all over in a short while.
Su Dong was used to thinking about some things during such training, such as reviewing last night's game.
Queens Park Rangers are not as weak as the score of 3-0 reflects. The competition in the Premier League is really getting more and more fierce, which also makes Manchester City determined to continue to strengthen the team's strength.
For example, right back, for example, midfielder.
After defeating Queens Park Rangers last night, Manchester City won the championship unbeaten and the entire Etihad Stadium fell into carnival.
The fans' carnival lasted for more than an hour. The Manchester City fans only stayed for half an hour before leaving. But after celebrating in the stadium, the fans sang and danced around the city. The whole city was completely turned into a celebration stage for Manchester City fans.
It is said that many fans also went to Maine Road.
Stadiums in England all have a characteristic: they are usually named after the road or landmark building where the stadium is located. For example, Old Trafford is located in Trafford, and Manchester City's old stadium, Maine Road, is located on Maine Road.
Maine Road has been Manchester City's home ground since 1923, and it lasted until 2003, a full eighty years. For almost all Manchester City fans, their memories of the club are at Maine Road.
Although the Maine Road Stadium was demolished and rebuilt into a residential area after Manchester City moved its stadium to the City Stadium, now the Etihad Stadium, in 2003, this still cannot stop Manchester City fans from remembering this place.
So, after the team won the championship undefeated last night, many fans spontaneously came to Maine Road Stadium.
By the way, in 1998, when Murdoch was about to acquire Manchester United, a group of diehard Red Devils fans protested and formed a new team, FC United, also known as the Red Rebels. But what many people don’t know is that the Red Rebels were actually imitating Manchester City fans, because as early as 1955, a group of Manchester City fans formed a team called Maine Road.
Because both teams are composed of die-hard fans, the game between these two amateur teams in Manchester is also called the Little Manchester Derby by local fans.
The club did not participate in last night's celebrations and revelry, and neither did the players.
After the game, everyone went home to rest and sleep.
Everyone knows that the most important thing for Manchester City is the upcoming Champions League final at the Allianz Arena.
In terms of strength, there is almost no suspense that Manchester City will beat Chelsea, but the Champions League final has never been just about strength.
Therefore, Manchester City cannot afford to lose this battle and must win it.
The same is true for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
After two seasons of hard work leading Manchester City, he finally made it to the Champions League final. He had no reason to lose the game at the last minute. This would definitely be the biggest regret of his life.
Therefore, in the next battle, Su Dong must go all out no matter what.
…
When Su Dong took a nice hot bath, changed into dry clothes, and came out, Wang Chuqing had already gotten up.
Although she appears to be elegant and well-mannered in front of others, she is actually quite lazy in private.
In her words, being able to lie down and sleep a little longer is better than any skin care product.
When she is resting, her favorite thing to do is to move the lazy sofa, bring a few books, or bring her tablet to watch TV series, and sit there for an entire afternoon.
But despite her personality, she always insisted on personally sending Su Dong to the training base. As long as she was at home, she would pick him up and drop him off every day, rain or shine. This was even though Su Dong did not eat breakfast at home. In the past, every time Su Dong finished training, she would prepare a hearty and nutritious breakfast for him.
The two have been together for many years and they don’t need to say much. Many things can be understood with just a glance. I wonder if this can be considered a kind of telepathy?
It's a half-hour drive from home to Carrington.
During this period of time, which was neither long nor short, listening to the faint music in the car and chatting about secrets between the two of us, it always made people feel that time seemed to pass particularly quickly.
In the morning, after sending Su Dong to Carrington, Wang Chuqing headed south to London and flew from London to Frankfurt at noon.
Su Dong's parents and Wang Chuqing's parents will both arrive in Frankfurt this afternoon. Wang Chuqing will go to pick them up and take them to Munich.
Su Dong's villa in Munich is still there. They have already called a housekeeping company to clean the villa. They can move in directly tonight and will live here for the next few years until the Champions League final.
During the whole journey, Wang Chuqing kept repeating things that Su Dong should pay attention to, such as remembering to call the driver in advance, and asking the housekeeper to come to work early tomorrow. In addition, at home...
There is a saying in my hometown of Sudong: Beggars move with a lot of luggage.
Many times, it may seem like a small matter, but it is actually very troublesome to do.
"I will pack the things you need on the day of the competition for you later and put them in your suitcase. You can just take the suitcase with you when the time comes." Wang Chuqing gave instructions while driving.
"Also, I checked the weather forecast. It's still a bit cold in Munich these days. I put a coat in your suitcase. Remember to bring it with you."
Su Dong sat in the passenger seat, looking at her with a smile but not saying a word.
Wang Chuqing secretly turned around and glanced at him, then quickly turned back to look straight ahead, her face blushing involuntarily, and she quickly said coquettishly: "I'm talking to you, can you hear me?"
"I heard it." Su Dong replied with a grin.
Wang Chuqing could clearly hear the teasing in Su Dong's words and immediately rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.
The more they got along, the more she realized that in life, Su Dong was really like a child.
Of course, this is not because Su Dong is naive, but because he is completely focused on football and doesn't care about anything else.
For example, taking a driver's license test. This has been talked about for at least five or six years. I have applied for the driver's license at least three times, but I still haven't got the license. This has become a classic topic of ridicule among major media and fans around the world.
Is it because Su Dong can't learn it? No, it's because he didn't learn it at all.
To use Su Dong's words to refute Wang Chuqing, only a fool would learn to drive when there is a beautiful woman as the driver.
Every time she heard him say this, Wang Chuqing couldn't bear to force him to learn how to drive, so gradually, she worked as a part-time driver for longer and longer periods of time, and she was very happy about it.
Because of this, in Wang Chuqing's view, Su Dong was like a child who needed her care.
Who makes her older than Su Dong?
Isn't it the sister's job to take care of her brother? "By the way, remember to bring all the tickets. Ronaldo, Messi, and Xiaobai will all be there. I'll ask them to get the tickets from you. Please help me receive them, as well as the Bayern players." Su Dong suddenly thought of it.
The final was held at the Allianz Arena in Munich, and it was not difficult for Bayern players to get tickets, but they all took the initiative to ask Su Dong for tickets. After all, they were Su Dong's relatives and friends in this game.
"Leave these matters to me, and you can just focus on preparing for the battle." Wang Chuqing said as she drove. After a pause, she added, "Also, prepare for the battle, but don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Su Dong smiled and said nothing.
In fact, they both know that for players at Su Dong's level, it is impossible to have no pressure in any game, because they are destined to become the focus when they play.
In other words, as soon as they come on stage, they should become the protagonists. If they cannot become the protagonists, it will be a failure for them, and they will be subjected to waves of criticism and mountains of pressure.
It’s not a question of whether they want to or not, but what everyone expects of them.
Fans, management, coaching staff, teammates around them, everyone will place their expectations on them.
This is true for everyday games, and even more so for such crucial decisive battles.
If Su Dong could not withstand such pressure, he would never have been able to reach where he is today.
Just like Quaresma, in fact, his ability to withstand pressure psychologically is relatively weak, so he didn't play well in Barcelona that year. This is definitely not a problem of strength, but a problem of his psychological quality.
Similarly, if Su Dong could not withstand the pressure, he would not have made a name for himself in teams such as Valencia, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich. The fact that he has been able to get to where he is today proves that his psychological ability to withstand pressure is strong enough.
"Don't worry, just enjoy the game in the stands, and we will celebrate together after the game!" Su Dong smiled confidently.
For him, this game will be the most important decisive battle in his career so far.
The peak battle!
