Chapter 191 The whole world has seen him! [Continued outbreak of the second update, begging for monthly subscription! ]
"Su Dong played an excellent game!"
At the post-match press conference, Benítez, who rarely praises others, very rarely praised Su Dong, who had just joined the team, in front of many media reporters.
"From the perspective of the three lines, all the players did a very good job, and Su Dong was the best among them."
"Whether it's goals, on-field statistics, or contributions to the team, he's been outstanding. If I have to give him a score, I think it should be eight."
“Why only eight points?”
"It's simple, because I know this is far from the best for Su Dong. The remaining two points are room for him to continue to improve."
"Just from this one game, I can give him a full score!"
Benítez's remarks not only surprised the media reporters at the scene, but also caused a huge reaction after being spread by the media after the game, especially in the Spanish football world.
Everyone knows that Benítez has always been a person who is stingy with praise and has strict demands, but this time he rarely gave Su Dong such a high evaluation. This is probably not just because Su Dong created three goals and helped the team defeat Real Madrid.
When commenting on this game, Marca was very unkind to Real Madrid, believing that Queiroz's team failed to produce any sparks. Not only did the superstars in the front court not play well, but the back line was also full of loopholes.
"Almost every counterattack by Valencia creates a threat, and Sudon is the player with the greatest threat."
Marca was amazed at the versatility of Valencia's center forward. Whether it was height, strength, speed or footwork, Su Dong was impeccable. He was almost synonymous with a perfect center forward.
"Before, many people couldn't understand why Valencia gambled on such an 18-year-old player, but now, through this game in the Citrus Cup, I believe everyone has seen Su Dong's strength and potential."
"Valencia spent 10 million euros worth it!"
Marca said that in front of Sudon, Elguera and Pavon seemed very clumsy and fragile.
"In terms of physical strength, they were no match for Su Dong. Salgado, who was known for his hard work, even used inertia to charge at Su Dong, but he still failed to knock the Chinese over. Su Dong simply staggered and used his hands to support himself to neutralize Salgado's charge."
"What's even more terrifying is that Su Dong then used his amazing speed and dazzling footwork to completely fool Real Madrid's defense. He used his personal ability to prove to everyone that Real Madrid's defenders couldn't stop him at all!"
Marca also mentioned Beckham, believing that the English superstar's performance was disappointing in his first appearance in Spain.
"This was supposed to be a game for Beckham, but now, the young Su Dong has become the most eye-catching focus. He scored two goals and created a penalty, which made the Real Madrid superstars lose face."
…
Like Benítez, Real Madrid coach Queiroz said in an interview with the media after the team's 0-3 defeat to Valencia that the team played a great game, especially in the second half.
"We were in a tight schedule. We had just come back from Asia and had three days off. The players were very tired, which made us not in the best condition, but our players still took the initiative on the court and played a good game."
Regarding the team losing three goals, Queiroz said that lessons should be learned, but the defeat should not be exaggerated.
"In fact, our defense was very good in the second half. Beckham had just joined the team, but he was very diligent. The double defensive midfielder with Cambiasso also ensured the stability of the back line. This will become one of the team's options in the new season."
Queiroz was generous in his praise not only for his own players, but also for Valencia's players.
"As early as when I first coached Real Madrid, I said that the player I most wanted to sign was Su Dong."
"I am Portuguese. I know Sudong's performance in the Portuguese Super League and his strength and potential. Tonight he made our defense suffer, which proved my original opinion."
Obviously, Queiroz still has some resentment towards Real Madrid for failing to sign Su Dong.
If Real Madrid was willing, it would be entirely possible to sign Su Dong with his connections in Portugal, but now, Su Dong is wearing a Valencia jersey and scoring against Real Madrid.
Queiroz was satisfied with Beckham's debut. "He was a little nervous, which is normal. He is under pressure that ordinary people cannot understand. But I think he no longer needs to prove his strength to anyone. He is one of the strongest superstars in the world."
Finally, Queiroz said that losing the Citrus Cup does not mean anything, it is just a warm-up match.
"After acquiring Su Dong, Valencia's overall strength has been greatly improved, which will make the competition in the new La Liga season more intense and full of suspense, which requires our attention and vigilance."
…
AS published Queiroz's post-match interview, and its evaluation of Real Madrid was much more polite than that of Marca, but following Queiroz's words, it mentioned the importance of Su Dong to this Valencia team.
"Su Dong used a game against Real Madrid to let the whole world see him!"
AS believes that facing top teams is the game that best reflects the strength of a striker. The match against Real Madrid is of great significance to Sudong, who has just transferred to Valencia, and he has also shown amazing form and performance.
Scoring twice and creating a penalty, Su Dong gave a perfect answer.
More importantly, he showed a strength in the game that was inconsistent with his age. He could not only crush his opponents with his body, but also use his speed and footwork to play with his opponents. He was almost omnipotent.
"Sudon is very comprehensive. He does not rely entirely on his teammates to pass the ball to him. He can find offensive opportunities for himself in different areas. At the same time, his cooperation with Vicente and Aimar is also very tacit, which makes him gradually become an important fulcrum of Valencia's frontcourt offense."
"From this game, we can see that after the introduction of Su Dong, Valencia's offensive coordination is no longer mechanical and stereotyped. They began to seek more details and technical coordination, as well as the players' on-the-spot performance on the field, which was extremely rare before."
"Whether it's Salva, Kalu or Mista, none of them have the ability like Sudong."
AS believes that after years of torture on the front line, Valencia has finally welcomed a young and promising center forward. Judging from the pre-season warm-up matches, Su Dong has the strength and potential to succeed in Valencia.
"After Mijatovic and Lopez, Sudon becomes another rising star in Valencia's front line."
…
The Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo is also following this game.
This media close to Barcelona pointed out Real Madrid's problems sharply, believing that letting Makelele go is Real Madrid's biggest loss and that defense will become Real Madrid's most serious problem.
"They failed to adjust their form before the Spanish Super Cup and will be very dangerous against Real Mallorca, because this team has a Real Mallorca star, Eto'o!"
Mundo Deportivo also focused on Su Dong's performance in this game, and was full of expectations for his La Liga debut season. It even conducted a reader survey in the report, asking who would be the best newcomer in La Liga this season?
Beckham? Ronaldinho? Or Su Dong?
This undoubtedly elevates Su Dong to the level of being on par with the two superstars, which is somewhat exaggerated.
After all, today's Su Dong, whether in terms of performance or strength, cannot be compared with the two superstars Beckham and Ronaldinho, so Mundo Deportivo is suspected of over-praising them.
In addition to Su Dong, Mundo Deportivo also mentioned the new season of La Liga, believing that Real Madrid is weak, Deportivo La Coruna has lost its top scorer Makaay, Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo are not stable enough, and the only team that can truly challenge Barcelona and return to the top of La Liga is Valencia.
"However, the biggest problem for Valencia is whether their squad depth can support the team's two-line battle?"
"Perhaps Benítez should consider giving up the Champions League and focus on domestic competitions."
After all, judging from the results in recent years, the only two teams in La Liga that are truly competitive in European football are Real Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna.
Among them, Super Laco's performance in European competitions in the past two years is still very impressive.
…
The local media in Valencia gave high praise to Sudong's local debut, believing that he completely conquered the Mestalla Stadium in just one game against Real Madrid.
"Although it was just a warm-up match, it is not difficult to see from this match that Su Dong, who was brought in for 10 million euros, will become an important weapon for the team to capture cities and strongholds this season. He will be the core fighting force for the team to achieve results."
The Valencia media believed that Sudon integrated into the team almost seamlessly and quickly became friends with his teammates, especially in the game against Real Madrid, when he selflessly gave up the opportunity to score a hat trick and gave the penalty to his teammate Aimar.
"This is a delightful scene! After we saw Aimar score the penalty, he immediately ran towards Sudon and celebrated his goal with him. This was also the first penalty scored by Valencia in the past six months, ending the team's penalty curse."
Finally, the Valencia media stated that due to the limitations of the team's foundation and heritage, Valencia does not have the financial resources and attractiveness to introduce big-name stars, but with the current team's lineup, it is quite competitive both in La Liga and in the Champions League.
"Su Dong's joining has filled the weakest link in the team for many years, greatly improved the overall strength of the team, and also made us look forward to the new season even more!"
…
In addition to Spain, in European football and even around the world, more and more fans have begun to hear Su Dong's name, and know that there is such a player in La Liga, in Valencia.
When the news that Su Dong scored twice, created a penalty and helped Valencia beat Real Madrid reached back home, the whole country was jubilant.
That was La Liga! The team they defeated was Real Madrid, a world-class club that had just gained a lot of favor from fans in Asia!
Thanks to the victory over Real Madrid, Su Dong once again became famous throughout the country!
