Chapter 253 Oh my God, it's only been 27 minutes!
On the evening of February 21st, at the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia.
When the game reached the eighth minute, Albelda made a long pass directly from the backcourt.
Su Dong retreated very deep and quickly moved to the gap between Van Bronckhorst and Marcos. He took the lead in grabbing the first landing point. Without jumping, he just headed the ball and passed it behind the Barcelona defense line.
After grabbing the landing point, Su Dong turned around quickly and sprinted forward at the fastest speed.
Almost at the moment of starting, Su Dong shook off Marcos and Van Bronckhorst and quickly got behind Barcelona's defense.
This sudden change in the stadium surprised all the Valencia fans present.
Marcos turned around to chase, but it was too late. Only Puyol, who was lagging behind, chased back desperately, but Su Dong still kept getting closer with his speed.
Whether it was the fans at the scene or the audience in front of the TV, they all saw with their own eyes that Su Dong, from a large distance behind, kept closing the distance at a very fast speed, and finally caught up with Puyol on the right side of the top of the penalty area.
The feeling was so overwhelming! The ball fell.
Su Dong took the initiative and used his body to push Puyol away, then headed the ball into the penalty area.
Valdes decisively left the goal to attack, but before he could catch the ball, Su Dong rushed in front of him again.
This left the Barcelona goalkeeper at a loss.
He felt as if an ultra-heavy armored tank was charging towards him at the speed of a Ferrari.
That kind of pressure is simply enough to make people collapse!
Valdes almost instinctively bent his knees and wanted to reach out to block the ball, but Su Dong was one step ahead of him and kicked the ball directly into the air. The ball flew past Valdes and directly hit the goal!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
Amid the exclamations from the audience, Su Dong did not slow down. He flew past Valdes, rushed out of the stadium, jumped over the billboard, rushed to the front of the fans' stands, and opened his arms to the Valencia fans.
"God of War! Su Dong!!"
All the Valencia fans in the stadium were shouting Su Dong's name.
…………
…………
According to La Liga practice, the home team management will invite the visiting team leadership before the game.
No one expected that the Barcelona president Laporta would lead the team to Valencia tonight.
Valencia chairman Roig and general manager Subiraz both clearly realized that something was unusual. This should be the first time Laporta has led the team on an away game this season, right?
More importantly, this isn't an important match.
Barcelona's goal is to reach the top four, and Valencia has established a considerable advantage in winning the championship. The two teams do not conflict.
So why did Laporta come to the Mestalla Stadium? The answer is obvious! After all, he is a famous Spanish lawyer with profound negotiation skills.
From the meeting, to the dinner together, to the game at the Mestalla Stadium, the two chatted about all sorts of things and never mentioned business, which made Roig and Subirat secretly admire him.
Until Su Dong scored a goal!
…
"What an amazing player!" Laporta exclaimed.
These words surprised Roig and Subiratz, and also made them feel awkward.
Why did he say it as if Su Dong didn't score against Barcelona? He was a Valencia player, okay? Roig and Subiratz looked at each other and sent a signal to each other. The action was about to begin!
"Actually, you may not know that we were very close to signing Su Dong as early as last summer." Laporta's tone was full of regret, because the current Su Dong is no longer the Su Dong of last year.
At least, the net worth is completely different from what it was before.
"Really?" Roig asked back with a smile.
"Our scouts went to observe Quaresma and Cristiano Ronaldo, but they rated Su Dong very highly. However, as you know, we were busy with the presidential election at that time and had no time to implement this deal, so..."
When Laporta said this, he smiled at Roig and Subiraz, as if to say, if you were a little slower, then Sudong would have no chance for you Valencia.
This kind of player is not something that you, Valencia, can possess for a long time, and you will soon be unable to satisfy him!
Roig and Subirats knew this very well.
Frankly speaking, Su Dong's performance this season really surprised them, even shocked them.
They had high hopes for Su Dong, but they never imagined that Su Dong would perform so well.
By now, almost half of the European giants are paying attention to Su Dong and want to sign him. Everyone in Valencia knows very well that Su Dong will transfer sooner or later.
The only difference is when and which team.
"Javier, I know you talked to Florentino when you were in Barcelona." Laporta smiled faintly.
Subiraz did not deny it and nodded. This incident happened right under the nose of Barcelona and could not be hidden from Laporta at all, and there was no need to hide it.
"Have you really decided to let him transfer to Real Madrid?" Laporta asked this with his eyes fixed on Roig and Subiraz. He wanted to find clues from their expressions to confirm his point of view.
This is the second time that Roig has served as the chairman of Valencia. Subiraz has been immersed in professional football for many years. Both of them are veterans. Of course, they are also very clear that contact and negotiation competition will start from the moment the two sides meet.
No, it started even before we met.
Laporta's personal arrival proves Barcelona's sincerity and their urgency.
Everyone knows that Barcelona needs a center forward with strong scoring ability.
Similarly, the whole world knows that Valencia regards Real Madrid as its mortal enemy, and Roig will never accept Valencia players transferring to Real Madrid.
Laporta asked this question to confirm this point.
As long as this is confirmed, it can be confirmed that in the competition for the Soviet Union, Barcelona has no rivals among the La Liga teams.
For a player who is only 19 years old, especially with the example of his idol Ronaldo, the possibility of Su Dong continuing to stay in La Liga is far greater than that of him transferring to other leagues.
In other words, as long as Barcelona is sure that Valencia is unwilling to sell the player to Real Madrid, it will have the upper hand in the negotiations.
But unfortunately, Roig and Subirats looked calm.
"Why not?" Roig asked with a smile, "I'm in business, I know the value of Su Dong very well. Emotionally, it may be difficult for us to accept, but from the perspective of running a club, selling to Real Madrid is also a very good option. The price offered by Florentino is quite tempting."
Subiraz also nodded and said, "Yes, the emotions of the fans can be guided, so it's not a big problem."
Laporta's attention shifted between the two of them. He was a little unsure whether what the other person said was true or false.
"You shouldn't have any such concerns when you come to Barcelona, right?" Laporta asked with a smile.
Roig looked at Subiratz, laughed and asked, "Why? Are you interested too?"
"We need a center forward. Rijkaard and the technical team think that Su Dong is very good. Although he is young, he is very good in terms of technical and tactical characteristics as well as personal ability. Cruyff also called me personally and strongly recommended Su Dong. You know, he is very influential in the club."
When Rijkaard's performance was not good at the beginning, many people outside rumored that he would be sacked. However, instead of being sacked, Rijkaard received strong support from the club. Eventually, things got better after the winter break and his position as coach is now stable.
Cruyff was the one who dissuaded Laporta.
It can be said that the godfather of Barcelona is still quite prestigious within the club.
According to surveys conducted by Daily Sports and Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona fans also have a very good impression of Su Dong. After all, he is the top scorer in La Liga today and he is only 19 years old.
Young, handsome, strong, and with amazing potential! He has almost everything that fans like, so what else can they be dissatisfied with? "We have no plans to sell Su Dong at the moment, including Florentino, and we have given the same answer." Subiraz replied calmly.
Laporta glanced at the general manager of Valencia, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "I heard that not long ago, you renewed your contract with Su Dong, and there was an anti-Real Madrid clause in the new contract. Is it true?"
Roig and Subirats were both shocked, and at the same time they were wondering who leaked the information.
Su Dong and Mendes?
This is not very realistic, there is a confidentiality agreement in the contract.
That was a test! "No!" Roig answered with certainty.
Laporta was a little unsure.
This was guessed by the Barcelona team. Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Valencia would be so anxious to renew the contract with Sudong before the winter break and must sign an anti-Real Madrid clause.
But now, the Barcelona president is a little unsure, because it is just speculation after all.
"Whether it's yes or no, I believe that neither you nor the fans of Valencia want to see Su Dong transfer to Real Madrid, right?" Laporta asked with a smile.
Roig smiled and said, "I still say the same thing. We have no plans to sell Su Dong for the time being."
Old fox! Laporta defined Roig in his mind.
If it weren't for the sudden impact of the Bosman Act, it would have been difficult for Mijatovic to transfer from Valencia to Real Madrid.
However, think about it, this is a transfer involving tens of millions of euros, who dares to be careless? "Then start thinking about it seriously and carefully from now on!" Laporta suggested with a smile.
Both Roig and Subiraz are clearly aware that Barcelona is determined to win Sudong!
At this moment, loud exclamations suddenly broke out in the stadium again.
When they turned around and looked inside the field, they found that Su Dong had rushed out of the field again, running all the way to celebrate the goal.
2-0!
He scored again!
Oh my God, it's only been 27 minutes!
