Chapter 259 He is back to full health!
"You know what? Whether it's dealing with people, being a friend, or being a professional player, being selfless, responsible, and putting the overall situation first are all very, very rare qualities."
"But for a center forward, especially a team's lone striker, these can all be shortcomings, especially selflessness, because scoring goals is the center forward's responsibility. If you are selfless, you are shifting your responsibility to others."
"I hope you can be more extravagant, even if you don't score a goal!"
…
In the past six months, Benítez has talked to Su Dong many times. More than once, he asked Su Dong to be more selfish, either privately or in front of everyone in the locker room.
He even said that selfishness is the nature of a striker! Selfishness is a prerequisite for being a good scorer!
Perhaps it was because of the education he received since childhood, or perhaps it was due to his personality, but whenever Su Dong encountered something, the first thing he would think of was the overall situation, and he would always want to put the overall situation first in everything.
Many times, when he sees his teammates have a better chance, he will choose to pass the ball.
However, there are not many such opportunities because he is Valencia's lone striker.
But Vicente, Aimar, Rufete, Angulo, and even Baraja and Albelda have all scored goals from Sudon's selfless passes.
But on this night against Bayern Munich, when Su Dong rushed with the ball and broke into the penalty area of Bayern Munich, Robert Kovac was running towards him on the right, and in front of him was Kahn who had abandoned the goal and was halfway there. Behind Kovac, Mista had already run into position and was raising his hand to ask for the ball.
As long as he passes the ball, Mista will be facing an empty goal! Su Dong asked himself, if he wanted, he could pass the ball.
But for some reason, at this moment, he suddenly remembered what Benítez said, and he suddenly felt that he should take the shot because he was somewhat confident.
It was after realizing this that Su Dong made a decision.
A feint confused Kahn who was halfway through the attack, then he dribbled the ball to his left with his right foot and kicked a lob with his left foot.
The ball slowly climbed up and passed over the head of the attacking Kahn.
Although the Bayern goalkeeper reacted quickly and immediately realized that he was fooled by Su Dong's feint, he stretched out his hand as far as possible to stop it, but he still couldn't reach it. He could only fall back in despair and watch the ball fall towards the goal behind him.
Mista ran all the way and rushed into the goal line.
Before him, Su Dong's lob shot had already gone into the net!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Score twice!"
"Oh my God, Su Dong is back to full health in the second half!"
"We saw that after retreating, Su Dong performed even better. He got more space to get the ball and fully demonstrated his strengths and characteristics."
"Both of Bayern Munich's defense lines failed to stop Su Dong from dribbling the ball."
"All four players were rushed over by Su Dong!"
After scoring the goal, Su Dong roared excitedly, turned around and rushed out of the stadium.
He followed the path that Makaay took after scoring the goal in the first half and rushed through the snow on the track. Fortunately, he regained his composure at the last moment and did not rush to the stands of Bayern Munich fans. Otherwise, he would probably have become the first unlucky guy to be beaten up by the home team fans for celebrating the goal.
But now, he could only stand on the edge of the track, stepping on the thick snow, celebrating his second goal.
He felt a little regretful in his heart. He had gone too far in his pretense! ...
In front of Bayern Munich's goal, Mista was stunned for a moment.
He was originally 90 percent sure, thinking that Su Dong would pass the ball, and he would take advantage of the situation and send the ball into the empty goal.
This is the Champions League round of 16, Bayern Munich’s goal, and the penalty area guarded by goalkeeper Kahn!
But to his surprise, Su Dong did not pass the ball, but chose to play it himself.
At that moment, Mista felt really uncomfortable and even a little angry, because he felt that he had run out of space, so why not pass the ball to himself who had a better chance?
Of course, he did not deny that he had missed the excellent opportunities created by Su Dong, but this time was different.
Whether feeling uncomfortable or angry, Mista soon came to his senses.
Su Dong is Valencia's top scorer, and he is the one allowed by Benítez. I dare not say unlimited, but at least Su Dong has the greatest firing right in the team. As long as he feels it is appropriate, he can shoot at any time.
From this point it is not difficult to see that Benítez relies heavily on Su Dong.
More importantly, Mista is very clear about Su Dong's position in the team.
Benítez asked Su Dong to be more selfish more than once, and his teammates had a very good relationship with Su Dong. This attack was created by Su Dong himself who was rushing with the ball. Mista calmed down and thought about it, and felt that it was natural for Su Dong to shoot by himself.
Let alone scoring a goal, even if the goal didn't go in, who could say anything? After realizing this, Mista immediately followed his teammates, rushed out of the court quickly, hugged Su Dong who turned around, and congratulated him on scoring a wonderful goal.

"He finally got it!"
On the sidelines, Jestedan looked at Su Dong's goal and said with a laugh.
Benítez was also very satisfied. Although there was no expression on his face and he still had that wooden face, he kept nodding his head, making people aware of the joy in his heart.
What he emphasized the most all along was that he hoped Su Dong could be more selfish.
Even from the first time the two met, Benítez expressed his hope that Su Dong would be more romantic.
Although, compared to when he first joined, Su Dong has spent a lot more time, he still hasn't spent enough time.
"I have always believed that when a striker faces a chance to shoot, he should be like dating a girl, with his eyes full of hunger, so that he will not miss any opportunity, and will not even be willing to share it with anyone!"
It was a rare occasion that Benítez made a metaphor that he thought was quite vivid.
Jestedan looked at his boss in surprise, with a strange expression on his face, trying hard to hold back his laughter.
Benítez didn't notice anything wrong, but after seeing Yestdan's expression, he frowned and showed a questioning look.
Finally, Yestdan couldn't help laughing out loud.
"You know what? Rafa, Su Dong doesn't have a girlfriend, so he's not hungry."
By the end of his speech, Yestendan couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Benítez suspected that his assistant was driving, but he still found it incredible that Su Dong didn't have a girlfriend. In this day and age, is it difficult for a professional player like Su Dong to have a girlfriend? If he put a marriage advertisement in the newspaper, the girls who applied would probably line up from Valencia to Madrid!
"This kid is a weirdo!" Benítez said lightly.
Jestindan glanced at his boss, his eyes seemed to say, you're not much better.

"Tonight, we not only missed a lot of chances to score, but we also missed out on an amazing player!"
In the stands of the Olympic Stadium, the three giants of Bayern Munich were sitting upright, watching Valencia score goals one after another. Beckenbauer looked at Su Dong who was celebrating the goal below the stands, and said with regret.
It is normal for football clubs, especially top teams, to miss out on talented players.
Which team has not missed a few unpolished gems that are regrettable?
But Beckenbauer could clearly feel the difference between Su Dong and the other team.
It's a feeling that's hard to describe in words.
In terms of physique, Su Dong's physique is indeed very good, and he is also very strong in power confrontation, but he is by no means the best and the strongest. Compared with Vieri, he should be slightly inferior. After all, he is only nineteen years old.
In terms of technique, Su Dong is definitely not the best with his footwork. Not to mention retired legends such as Maradona, among the current players, Ronaldinho's footwork is more delicate and creative than Su Dong's.
Needless to say, his speed and explosive power are indeed very fast, but he is definitely not the fastest. In terms of speed alone, he is not even as shocking as Michael Owen who emerged out of nowhere that year.
Body, strength, technique, speed, explosiveness...
None of Su Dong's qualities are the best, and none of them can be stunning when picked out individually. But when all of these are combined in him, people are extremely shocked.
He is like an all-round warrior. He is not the best in any one aspect, but each aspect can reach more than 90 points, or even more than 95 points. Such versatility is undoubtedly shocking.
"Makai..." Beckenbauer looked at the Dutch center forward in Bayern Munich, and then looked at Su Dong who was walking into the field after celebrating the goal. He felt mixed emotions.
Last summer, Bayern Munich chose Makaay between Sudong and Makaay.
Looking back now, we cannot say that the original choice was wrong. We can only say that Bayern Munich missed the best option.
If I had chosen Su Dong in the first place, perhaps the situation would be completely different now.
As for now...
Today's Bayern Munich and the Bundesliga cannot satisfy Su Dong! "I heard that this summer, he is likely to book the transfer target in advance. Real Madrid and Barcelona both want him, and many of the top clubs in Serie A and the Premier League are also determined to get him." Hoeness said enviously.
Beckenbauer nodded, which was normal.
Football, after all, is a human game, and talent is always the most valuable resource on the football field.
With Real Madrid signing a new superstar every year and scouting for stars everywhere, and Chelsea becoming rich overnight, high-quality star resources in Europe have become in short supply, so much so that young players like Rooney are in great demand.
Not to mention the likes of Su Dong.
If he really helped Valencia win the La Liga championship and became the La Liga top scorer at the age of 19, it would be a matter of course for him to be the transfer target.
However, which team to transfer to is also a science.
Given Su Dong's current situation, this transfer will undoubtedly be crucial.
He made the right move and a very smart one by moving from Sporting Lisbon to Valencia.
But if he doesn't take the next step firmly, he may fall over at any time.
Such examples are repeated almost every year in European football.
Beckenbauer sighed softly. He really didn't want to appear like Su Dong.
He was also very much looking forward to it and wanted to know how far this young man could go.
What can it bring to the football world?
