Chapter 272 The gap between genius and mortal
In addition to Chelsea in the Premier League officially extending an olive branch to Su Dong, the two Spanish Super League giants are also not far behind.
Needless to say, Real Madrid has been hyped up a lot, and many media have even vowed that Sudong will join the Bernabeu this summer and become the seventh superstar of Real Madrid.
It was actually a strange thing that they got more information than Su Dong himself knew.
Mendes told Su Dong that Barcelona was also in contact with him.
This summer, Barcelona will launch the Asian Tour, which is a commercial development that Barcelona management attaches great importance to.
According to the evaluation of the business department, if Barcelona can sign an Asian player before the Asian trip, especially Su Dong, the most influential player in Asia and the most popular candidate for the 2003 Asian Footballer of the Year, it will undoubtedly greatly boost Barcelona's commercial development in Asia.
In addition to commercial factors, on the competitive level, it has long been no secret that Kluivert will leave Barcelona.
After the Dutch center left the team, Rijkaard wanted to get a striker. Someone recommended Eto'o of Real Mallorca, but the top candidate was Valencia's center Sudong. The latter, in particular, was recognized by the vast majority of people, including Cruyff. Even Rijkaard said that Sudong was his first choice.
It can be said that the only obstacle preventing Su Dong from joining Barcelona is that he is too expensive! Especially with his outstanding performance in La Liga and the Champions League this season, his valuation in the transfer market is also rising steadily.
Originally it was thought that 30 million euros would do the job, and then it rose to 40 million euros, but now it seems that this valuation is still too low, especially after the hat trick at Stamford Bridge.
When Valencia's general manager Subiraz was interviewed by the media, a reporter asked him about Real Madrid's attempt to sign Sudon for 40 million euros, and he simply sneered.
"Forty million euros? It's only enough to buy one leg of Su Dong. No, it can't even buy one leg!"
Obviously, Valencia has also seen the market situation clearly and will never give in on the transfer fee.
Catalan media revealed that Valencia had contact with Barcelona and offered Sudon a price of 70 million euros.
This is absolutely an outrageous price! Mundo Deportivo interviewed Barcelona's vice president Rosell, who said that Barcelona would never accept such an unreasonable price. "I don't think a 19-year-old player who has only played one season in the four major leagues can deserve such a high price!"
Rosell also said that Barcelona will not blindly follow the trend, whoever wants to buy can buy!
But the Daily Sports also revealed that Laporta is determined to get Sudong because he is very worried that Sudong will transfer to Real Madrid.
"According to reliable sources, Valencia refused to make an offer for Real Madrid's inquiry. They are not willing to sell Su Dong to Real Madrid, but Florentino has conveyed the order to the transfer department. Real Madrid will increase the offer to more than 50 million euros, but it is still a long way from Valencia's 70 million euros."
But the Daily Sports also stated that the biggest obstacle preventing Sudong from joining Real Madrid is that the relationship between Valencia and Real Madrid is very bad. At the same time, Real Madrid has Ronaldo and Raul. After Sudong joins, how to coordinate the appearance relationship?
"In addition, Queiroz's dismissal has also added more uncertainty to Real Madrid's summer signings."

…………
April 11, La Romareda Stadium.
In the 32nd round of La Liga, Valencia will challenge Zaragoza away.
When the game reached the 30th minute, Zaragoza made a mistake in the back pass under the pressure of Su Dong in the frontcourt.
Alvaro passed the ball back to the penalty area, but the force was not strong enough, which allowed Su Dong, who was pressing, to see the opportunity and quickly chase forward.
Argentine central defender Milito also returned to defense immediately, trying his best to use his body to block Su Dong, but because of his short stature, Milito could not stop Su Dong at all and could only keep entangled with him.
Precisely because he was busy fighting with Su Dong, Milito didn't notice the attacking goalkeeper Lainez, and as a result, the two collided directly near the penalty spot.
The ball slipped out! Su Dong himself was very surprised.
He had imagined countless times what his 30th goal in La Liga this season would be like, but he had never thought it would be like this!
Sure enough, reality is more fantastic than fiction!
Of course Su Dong would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He ran over and easily shot into the empty goal.
After scoring the goal, Su Dong excitedly ran out of the stadium, rushed all the way to the sidelines, turned around, and hugged his teammates such as Vincent who ran over to celebrate. Everyone was congratulating him for his goal.
…
"God, this is Su Dong's 30th goal of the season!"
"This is definitely the most exciting thing in La Liga in recent years!"
"Finally, another player has scored 30 goals in a single season!"
"This is simply unbelievable!"
"The last player to accomplish this feat had a legendary name, Ronaldo!"
"Now, after seven years, seven years later, we finally have a player who has scored more than 30 goals in a season."
"Ronaldo was only 20 years old back then and was rushing towards the peak of his career. Now Su Dong is even younger, he is only 19 years old, and he is also rushing towards the peak of his career at a rapid speed!"
Although they were playing away, many Zaragoza fans at La Romareda Stadium took the initiative to applaud Su Dong.
All of Valencia's players have rushed to the sidelines to celebrate Su Dong's 30th La Liga goal of the season. Even the referee did not urge them, but allowed them to celebrate on the sidelines for a while longer.
Once upon a time, people wondered who would be the player who would score more than 30 goals in a single season again?
Ronaldo? Makaay? Tristan? Pandiani? Even Samuel Eto'o of Real Mallorca and Fernando Torres of Atletico Madrid were once highly expected.
But no one expected that it would be Su Dong, a rookie who had just joined La Liga!
"My God, I really can't describe my feelings at this moment. I really feel the excitement of witnessing history."
"Perhaps in a few years, when we look back on this season's La Liga, we will miss Su Dong now, just like we miss Ronaldo in the 1996-1997 season now, because this 19-year-old Chinese teenager has brought us so much shock."
"Even better than Ronaldo back then!"
"Our only hope now is that Su Dong can avoid the tragedy of Ronaldo, that he can stay away from injuries, that he can continue to improve, and create new peaks as a professional player!"
"Nineteen years old, an age full of emotions!"
"We have experienced Ronaldo at the age of 19, which was the peak of the alien's career. Now, we are experiencing another player at the age of 19. His name is Su Dong. Our greatest hope is that this is his starting point, not his peak!"
…
While Sudong and his Valencia teammates were celebrating on the sidelines and while the fans at La Romareda Stadium were applauding Sudong, on the field, there was a young striker wearing the No. 20 Pizzaragosa jersey looking at him with envy.
He is Zaragoza's top scorer this season, David Villa!
The 22-year-old Spanish striker from Sporting Gijon joined Zaragoza for 1.5 million euros last summer. In the past two seasons, he has scored a lot of goals in the Spanish Second Division.
But at this moment, looking at Su Dong celebrating on the sidelines, Villa was full of admiration.
His most goals so far were scored in the Spanish Second Division last season, when he scored 20 goals in 39 games.
Since coming to La Liga this season, he has played 32 games for Zaragoza and scored 13 goals. This is his best effort, and he even feels that he has reached his limit.
Only thirteen goals!
But the Chinese player not far away, who is only 19 years old, has already scored 30 goals.
Could this be the so-called gap between genius and ordinary people?
Many people compare Su Dong and Ronaldo. David Villa's memory of Ronaldo has become vague, and now he can only be familiar with Ronaldo through some highlights, but he has experienced Su Dong.
Villa is very aware of his own characteristics.
He is not tall and not particularly fast, so he can only look for opportunities by running at all costs.
But Su Dong was much taller than him and much faster than him, and he was also pressing and oppressing the opponent at all costs. The goal just now was created by Su Dong's pressing and oppressing of the defense.
This made Villa feel inferior!
What he has, Su Dong has, and he is even better than him. What he lacks, Su Dong has, too. How can they compare? …………
…………
Valencia is clearly holding back.
Although there is no Champions League in the middle of the week, the team has been adjusting its status.
Su Dong was substituted after playing for 60 minutes, and it was obvious that he was also adjusting.
But when he left the field, many Zaragoza fans applauded him, which was a kind of recognition for him.
The game ended with Valencia winning 1-0.
But anyone who watched the game knows that Zaragoza failed to create many chances throughout the game, and Villa did not perform well against Ayala and Marchena.
But after the game, in a corner where no one noticed, David Villa took off his jersey, ran to the Valencia bench, and took the initiative to exchange jerseys with Su Dong.
"You did a great job!" David Villa exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
Su Dong thanked him and shook hands with him with a smile, "You are also quite good and have created a lot of threats."
In the Zaragoza team, Villa's performance this season is still very eye-catching, but due to the team's strength and influence, he is not familiar to many people.
For example, many people know that Real Madrid reached the King's Cup final, but they don't know that Real Madrid's opponent in the final was Zaragoza, and Villa was the hero who sent Zaragoza to the King's Cup final.
Villa nodded at Su Dong with a smile, and after exchanging jerseys, he didn't say anything more.
But he knew in his heart that he would always remember this Chinese player and never forget him.
