Chapter 249 Is he still human?
When Su Dong scored a goal, the entire Bernabeu Stadium suddenly booed loudly.
Although Real Madrid has never regarded Valencia as a mortal enemy of the same level as itself, no one will like an opponent that regards itself as a mortal enemy and fights with all its strength in every game.
In particular, Valencia's vow not to sell Mendieta to Real Madrid further irritated Real Madrid fans, because this best Spanish midfielder soon fell after transferring to Serie A. This was regarded as a great loss to Spanish football, and Real Madrid fans believed that Valencia should be held responsible for this.
If Mendieta had transferred to Real Madrid that year, the situation would definitely be very different.
Amid the boos from the fans, the executive box in the chairman's stand was unusually quiet.
Real Madrid president Florentino still had his signature kind smile on his face. King Juan Carlos I of Spain, Prime Minister Aznar and others sitting next to him also looked calm, as if they did not take the goal too seriously.
In fact, even when Real Madrid was defeated by Deportivo La Coruna at its centenary celebration, Florentino still maintained his composure. But everyone knew that after the season, even if Bosque won the championship, he would still not escape the fate of being sacked.
Prime Minister Aznar didn't really care about the outcome of the game. He came here to watch the game, firstly because he is indeed a Real Madrid fan, and secondly to warm up for the general election in March.
In the polls, he is leading his opponent by nearly eight percentage points, but he still cannot be careless.
"Is the number nine of Valencia an Asian player?" Aznar asked Florentino curiously.
Florentino nodded immediately, "Yes, from China."
"Chinese players now play in our La Liga? When did it happen?" Aznar was curious.
"Last summer, Valencia spent 10 million euros to bring him from Sporting Lisbon in Portugal. He is only 19 years old."
"Oh, I'm a little young. No wonder I didn't hear about this incident when I visited China."
Aznar visited China in 2000 and attracted considerable attention in China at that time.
Florentino was a senior government official, and when he heard the Prime Minister say this, he immediately thought of what happened back then with his keen sense of smell.
In 2000, Aznar visited China and proposed Spain's Asia strategy, advocating strengthening trade cooperation and investment with the Asia-Pacific region, especially China, in an effort to improve the unbalanced situation caused by Spain's long-term focus on Europe and Latin America and neglect of the Asia-Pacific region, especially China, the world's largest and most promising market.
This is why three years later, Real Madrid will visit China with an all-star lineup, and Barcelona will also visit China this summer.
"Although he is only 19 years old, he is currently ranked first in the scorer list and has scored more goals than Ronaldo." Florentino laughed and seemed to admire Su Dong very much.
"Oh?" Asnar was very surprised.
He is a veteran football fan, but he is busy with various things every day and has no time to pay attention to football. However, he knows very well who Ronaldo is, especially the sensation caused by Ronaldo's joining Real Madrid.
This 19-year-old Chinese teenager can actually score more goals than Ronaldo? "He is very influential in China and the Asia-Pacific region, and is now the top star in Asia," Florentino said.
Aznar pondered for a moment and nodded, saying: "Such players should try to stay in La Liga. This can greatly enhance the influence of Spanish football in Asia and even be of great help to our country's Asian strategy."
The Asian strategy is one of Aznar's political achievements since the new century, and he has repeatedly mentioned it when facing the general election.
"I understand." Florentino nodded with a smile.
Many times there is no need to say much, nor to point it out, as long as it is tacitly understood.
On the contrary, King Juan Carlos I, who was standing next to them, listened to the conversation between the two. He had little interest in government affairs and the economy, but was very interested in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
"This kid is really extraordinary!" Juan Carlos I also praised.
"Well, I think the only one who can achieve such results at this age is Ronaldo," said Florentino.
Although Real Madrid has the current Ronaldo, everyone knows that what everyone misses in their hearts is the Ronaldo of the past. He was like an alien who came to Earth from other galaxies, invincible and unstoppable.
"He is different from Ronaldo, but the shock he brings is equally incredible. Such a player should play for the best team and should not be allowed to follow Ronaldo's old path."
With Ronaldo's talent back then, he should have been able to achieve greater success in La Liga if he had not transferred to Inter Milan.
Of course, the premise is that he can reduce the injuries in Serie A.
Florentino glanced to the left and then to the right. He was surprised that a king and a prime minister both favored Su Dong at the same time, and it gave him more thoughts.
To bring in another world-class striker was Real Madrid's transfer target this summer, and the original target was Michael Owen.
Su Dong is still somewhat lacking in world-class status. After all, he has only played in the top league for one season, but he is only nineteen years old. More importantly, he has the Asia-Pacific market, especially the Chinese market, which has amazing potential.
This is something that any club trying to go global cannot refuse! But the trouble is that Su Dong plays for Valencia.
Apart from Barcelona, it is the most anti-Real Madrid club in Spain.
…………
…………
No one knows what the Real Madrid president, the King of Spain and the Prime Minister talked about in the stands.
All everyone cares about is the game.
After Valencia equalized the score, the Bats did not rest on their laurels, but continued to put pressure on Real Madrid, even with greater intensity than at the start of the second half.
Real Madrid was equalized and became a little impatient, trying to regain control of the situation and create threats.
But at this time, the physical fitness and team problems of both sides showed a gap.
Real Madrid's frontcourt is full of superstars, but the players are very tired, and the team's biggest problem lies in the defense.
When Roberto Carlos actively rushed to the front court and formed a left-wing attack with Solari, Valencia began to consciously let Angulo rush behind Carlos during counterattacks.
Just eight minutes after the first goal, Valencia's two consecutive counterattacks on the right failed to work, but they finally reaped the rewards on the third try.
Albelda made a long diagonal pass, Angulo cut in behind Carlos, caught up with the ball at the edge of the penalty area, adjusted it slightly, and passed the ball to the middle of the penalty area before Raul Bravo.
Su Dong was near the penalty spot, under the interference of Elguera, he thought quickly, leaned sideways into the air, and volleyed the ball with his right foot.
The unremitting hard training over the past few years, the training of difficult yoga movements, the benefits of years of swimming, and the targeted training of a private coaching team, all have paid off at this moment.
The 1.95-meter-tall, 93-kilogram body was suspended in the air, and the whole person was unusually stretched, even seeming to have a kind of elegant beauty. He exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and quickly kicked the flying ball with his right foot.
The more than 70,000 Real Madrid fans in the stadium were stunned and even forgot to scream!
There was a muffled sound in the air caused by a football boot hitting the ball, and then the ball was seen flying towards the upper right corner of the goal in an almost straight line at lightning speed.
Casillas was standing in the middle, he was always on guard against Su Dong at the penalty spot. Elguera was also actively cooperating with the Real Madrid goalkeeper in his position, but he could never have imagined that Su Dong would actually jump sideways and volley the ball.
As a right-footed player, Casillas has tried his best to rush to the upper right corner.
But in the end, he still fell a little short.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"
"In the 59th minute, Valencia scored another goal!"
"Su Dong! Su Dong scored again!!!"
“A very exciting volley!”
"Oh my God, Su Dong is playing like crazy tonight!"
“Two consecutive goals were brilliant!”
"One is a diving header, and the other is a sideways volley!"
Su Dong fell to the ground, but quickly got up, yelled excitedly, and rushed to the sidelines.
Until this moment, the movement of Real Madrid fans could be heard at the Bernabeu Stadium.
The boos stopped and even applause began to break out.
Real Madrid fans are known as the fans who understand football the best in the world, and they are never stingy in giving applause to the opposing players.
Su Dong was running frantically on the sidelines. He was so excited that he lost himself and couldn't even believe it.
Not far behind him, Ronaldo blinked hard and looked at Su Dong in disbelief, with huge waves in his heart. Is this kid crazy?
Not only did he score twice at the Bernabeu, but both goals were so brilliant that one can only say that Su Dong was really excited tonight.
"This kid really surprises us in every game. Every time I see him, I can notice his progress," Figo said in amazement.
He now regrets more and more that he did not try his best to persuade Su Dong to join the Portuguese nationality. Otherwise, Portugal would have an additional La Liga top scorer in this summer's European Cup, which would surely be even more powerful.
Real Madrid's stars also found it unbelievable.
Even at their level, they knew very clearly how difficult it was to score such a goal in a game, but Su Dong actually scored two goals at once.
Especially the second one, a sideways volley, which really requires a lot from the body!
"I heard from Cristiano Ronaldo of the national team that this kid can still do a headstand in yoga with ease even now, and his body is becoming more and more like a monster!" Figo was amazed at the thought.
With such a huge height and weight, he could actually jump sideways, shoot from mid-air, and even score a goal like that...
Is he still a human being? Ronaldo and others nodded.
This kid is increasingly out of the realm of an Earthling.
