Chapter 192: Su Dong! It’s Su Dong again! [The third update of the continuous outbreak, begging for monthly ticket subscription! ]
Three days later, the first leg of the third round of Champions League qualifiers will begin.
Valencia host Slavia Prague at home.
At the beginning of the game, the Bat Army fully utilized its home advantage and firmly suppressed its weaker opponents.
Su Dong is no stranger to Slavia Prague, but as the strength of his teammates around him increases and his own strength improves, he clearly feels the weakness of his opponents.
When the game had just started for seven minutes, Valencia midfielder Albelda intercepted the ball, and Vicente started to dribble forward from the center line. After entering the 30-meter area, he passed the ball diagonally to Su Dong who was retreating to receive the ball.
Su Dong received the ball in an unguarded gap, faced the direction of attack, and started sprinting without hesitation.
Three Slavia Prague defenders tried to double-team him, but Su Dong dribbled the ball very quickly. After breaking through the double-team on both sides, he made another fake move and dribbled past the opponent's midfielder. At the front of the arc outside the penalty area, he shot directly without waiting for the opponent's central defender to get close.
"Su Dong kicks the ball!!!"
“The ball goes in!!!!”
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Just seven minutes into the game, Su Dong scored the first goal for Valencia!"
"Another iconic Batty GOL!!!!"
"This seems to have become Su Dong's signature shot!"
The entire Mestalla Stadium erupted with amazing enthusiasm in an instant.
All Valencia fans were shouting Su Dong's name crazily.
It was in this stadium that three days ago, Su Dong helped Valencia defeat the mighty Real Madrid with two goals. Three days later, Su Dong scored the first goal for Valencia just seven minutes into the game.
This 18-year-old youngster has brought so many unexpected surprises! The fans of Valencia have completely fallen in love with this incredible Chinese boy! …
Su Dong was quite excited.
He has been training hard throughout the summer with the help of Nuno Cruz and a team of personal trainers, and now is the time for him to get back on track, both physically and mentally ready to face the competition.
More importantly, Ronaldo's "Flying Fairy" and the victory over Real Madrid three days ago gave Su Dong strong self-confidence.
This is also the reason why he dared to shoot directly just now.
This sudden shot caught the opponent off guard and actually resulted in a goal!
Of course, this is also due to the improvement of Su Dong's leg strength.
The goal also further consolidated his confidence and made him believe in himself more.
After scoring the goal, he rushed out of the stadium and celebrated directly towards the Valencia fans in the stands, which won him thunderous cheers.
Slavia Prague may still be the Czech team, but Eastern Europe is no longer the Eastern Europe it once was! …
Less than six minutes after the goal, Valencia created another chance.
After Rufete got the ball on the right, Aimar took the initiative to run over to ask for the ball.
After getting the ball, the Argentine dribbled the ball skillfully to the middle and passed it to Su Dong who retreated and got the ball with his back.
Su Dong turned his back to the direction of attack and did not stick to the ball. Instead, he saw Aimar continuing to sprint sideways and quickly passed the ball to the Argentine's running route, forming a wall-to-wall cooperation.
After passing the ball, Su Dong turned around quickly and sprinted forward at the fastest speed.
He knew that Aimar would see him and pass the ball to him.
Sure enough, after receiving the ball, the Argentine midfielder quickly sent a deadly through pass, accurately passing between the two central defenders and behind the defense line. At this time, Su Dong arrived on horseback.
On the right side of the arc in front of the penalty area, Su Donggang caught up with Aimar's pass and shot directly without waiting for the opponent to react.
This powerful right-foot shot was very powerful and accurate. The ball flew past the goalkeeper in almost a straight line like lightning and went into Slavia Prague's goal again.
Two to zero! "GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Su Dong! It's Su Dong again!"
"Another brace!"
"Oh my god, this young player is so lively!"
"He scored twice against Real Madrid in the Citrus Cup, and now he scored twice again against Slavia Prague!"
“He’s kicking like crazy!”
Su Dong roared excitedly, and as soon as he turned around, he saw his teammate Aimar rushing towards him quickly.
Scoring two goals with two shots right at the start, is there a better start than this? Is there a more amazing debut in an official match than this? The Valencia fans in the stands were simply crazy with joy, right? How many years have they not seen such an exciting and inspiring scorer? Not only the fans were excited, but Benítez on the sidelines was also excited.
Slavia Prague is not a very strong opponent, and Benítez is fully confident that the team can beat the opponent at home.
But he never expected that the game would start so smoothly.
What he didn't expect was that Su Dong's first two shots actually scored goals.
What could be more surprising than this? ...
Su Dong's two goals completely ignited the passion of the Mestalla Stadium.
Slavia Prague then made adjustments immediately, immediately strengthening the defense against Su Dong, and the team's strategy became more conservative.
This allowed the Czech team to barely maintain the situation.
But Valencia also firmly controlled the advantage on the field and frequently created threats.
This is the role of the center!
Su Dong's presence made opponents extremely fearful, and after he suppressed the opponent's defense, he created more opportunities for his teammates in the midfield, backcourt and wingers.
Just four minutes into the second half, it was Sudong who created opportunities for his teammates in the frontcourt. Vicente made a cross from the left to the front of the penalty area. Albelda, who came in from the back row, made a long shot from the front of the penalty area and once again penetrated Slavia Prague's goal, scoring another goal for Valencia.
Three to zero! Just six minutes later, Su Dong grabbed the first point in the frontcourt and headed the long pass from the backcourt to Aimar. The Argentine sent another accurate straight pass. Vicente drove straight into the penalty area and calmly shot into the goal, sealing the victory for Valencia.
Four to zero! The whole stadium was cheering wildly! The happiest people were the Valencia fans.
In recent years, the team has suffered from insufficient offensive power. I don't know how many players have been replaced on the front line, from La Liga Golden Boot Salva to Norwegian center forward Kalou, but no one can bring an improvement in the offensive power of the Bat Army.
Valencia haven't had an exciting striker since Mijatovic and Lopez.
It only took Su Dong two games to completely conquer the picky Mestalla Stadium.
Unlike short players such as Mijatovic and Lopez, Su Dong is 1.95 meters tall and has a strong body, but at the same time he possesses the flexibility, speed and delicate footwork of a short player.
He can not only attack the front for the team, but also serve as a tactical fulcrum to create opportunities for his teammates.
He can do everything!
The team defeated Real Madrid in the Citrus Cup, Su Dong scored twice!
Leading Slavia Prague 4-0 in the Champions League qualifiers, Su Dong scored twice!
As soon as he appeared, Su Dong shocked everyone.
Even Benítez, who had been most optimistic about him before, had never expected that he could perform so well!
The unstoppable Su Dong, paired with an unbreakable midfield and backcourt, which team will Valencia be afraid of this season? …………
…………
The game ended with a score of 4-0, with Valencia defeating Slavia Prague at home.
Although the influence of the Champions League qualifiers is small, Su Dong scored twice in two consecutive games, which still attracted the attention of the Spanish media and even many European media.
Although he is not even 19 years old yet, Su Dong's performance has already amazed everyone.
If the match against Real Madrid can be justified by the fact that the superstars have travelled a long distance and are exhausted, then the match against Slavia Prague involves the Champions League group stage for both sides, with millions or even tens of millions of euros in revenue. Who would dare to be careless?
Which team doesn’t fight with all their might?
But Su Dong still scored twice!
What could be more convincing than this?
So much so that the local media in Valencia were cheering wildly, happy that the team had gained a rising striker, and believed that Valencia would return to its former peak this season.
…
Head coach Benítez was basically satisfied with the team's performance, but also pointed out a number of problems exposed in the game.
This is the first official game of the new season and also a crucial battle in the Champions League group stage. Both Valencia and Slavia Prague can be said to have tried their best.
Benítez believes that except for the two good starts in the first and second half, the team's performance was not sharp enough at other times.
"It's not difficult to win a football game. We need to have an unstoppable offense and build an unbreakable defense. From the game, our defense has been good, but our offense sometimes lacks speed and is not sharp enough."
Benítez believes that with the league coming up, Valencia needs to continue to improve.
At the same time, the robot head coach also warned the players that a 4-0 victory in the first leg was not enough to ensure the team's advancement, and they still needed to be cautious in away games and not give Slavia Prague any chance of a comeback.
This also allowed Su Dong to witness for the first time the unkind side of Benítez.
We obviously won the game, so why are you still finding fault with us?
On the contrary, assistant coach Jesterdan always praises the players with a smile and affirms their performance, which makes the chief assistant coach have a high prestige in the locker room.
So much so that Aimar would grumble to Su Dong in private.
"You said that if Rafa and Paco had different personalities, they would be the template for the perfect head coach."
Su Dong'er laughed, but shook his head and sighed: "If Rafa had the same personality as Paco, he would not be Rafa."
Aimar thought about it and it made sense.
