Chapter 312 He finally performed a hat trick!
Perhaps it was the attraction of Barcelona's stars, or the stimulation of Su Dong's remarks before the game, but Barcelona's warm-up match against Suwon Samsung attracted more than 30,000 fans, far exceeding the organizers' previous expectations.
The Korean fans who flocked into the Suwon World Cup Stadium have been cheering for their home team with all their might since the beginning of the game.
Suwon Samsung also showed an aggressive momentum, using the style of the Korean Taegeuk Tigers during the Korea-Japan World Cup, suppressing Barcelona with strenuous running, making it difficult for Barcelona, who came from afar, to control the ball and the tempo at the beginning of the game.
On the field, the two teams were evenly matched, and Suwon Samsung even seemed to have a slight advantage.
The only shortcoming was that neither side was able to create good scoring opportunities.
But the home team fans are already very satisfied that they can force Barcelona, a team full of stars, into this situation.
The more than 30,000 fans at the scene believed that as long as they continued to run and defend like this, it would not be difficult for Suwon Samsung to defeat Barcelona unexpectedly.
Especially when the first half entered the 30th minute, the score was still zero to zero. Barcelona still looked a little disorganized and difficult to organize a threatening attack, which made the fans on the scene even more excited.
Even the Korean commentator who was in charge of the live commentary said, "Barcelona is not as strong as we thought."
"As for Su Dong, it is really hard for us to believe that Barcelona is willing to pay a record-breaking price of 80 million euros for him!"
"Perhaps, as previously reported by the media, Barcelona signed Su Dong more because of the Asian market, especially the Chinese market. They hope to use Su Dong as a stepping stone to open up the Chinese market."
"Suwon Samsung head coach Cha Bum-kun seems very satisfied with the way the game went. I believe he and his team can accomplish a feat and give Barcelona a wake-up call, letting them know that there are strong teams in Asian football too."
"And the referee, his enforcement is quite fair."
…
Su Dong did not hear what the Korean live commentator said, otherwise, he would have sneered.
The referee was so obviously biased towards the home team, and you still call it fair? Sure enough, the Koreans are just like they were in the World Cup two years ago.
But Barcelona still played very patiently.
Neither Su Dong nor Ronaldinho were in a hurry in the frontcourt.
Barcelona will still play in a 4-3-3 formation tonight, with Valdes as the goalkeeper, Sylvinho, Oleguer, Puyol and Belletti as the defenders, Gerard in the midfield, Deco and Xavi in front, and Ronaldinho, Sudon and Giuly forming the trident in the front.
In terms of strength, they are far superior to Suwon Samsung, but after a long journey, they encountered a home team that was well-rested, and the referee's home whistle all caused Barcelona to encounter troubles in the early stages.
But Barcelona players already have the experience to deal with all of this.
Even Su Dong, the youngest player on the court, is a professional player with many battles under his belt.
Since the Korean wants to run, Barcelona certainly has no reason to stop him.
So after the game started, Barcelona kept passing the ball and made the Koreans run non-stop.
At the beginning, when they were full of energy, they all ran well, not only curbing Barcelona's organization and offensive, but also creating some offensive opportunities, but failed to pose a threat.
But gradually, the players on the field of Suwon Samsung began to realize that something was wrong.
Barcelona was like a monkey, passing the ball around.
Not to mention the offensive players in the frontcourt, even the defenders were very bad at passing and receiving the ball.
Can the Korean players really run, and run as fast as they can, and run the entire game without stopping? Not to mention the entire game, after 30 minutes of the game, they began to lose track and were out of breath.
When the game reached the 32nd minute, Suwon Samsung's players began to fail to keep up with Barcelona's passes. Ronaldinho broke through after getting the ball on the left rib and sent the ball accurately to Su Dong's feet.
Su Dong stopped and passed, and knocked Park Jianxia away with his shoulder. Without stopping, he dribbled the ball with his right foot, avoiding Croatian center back Neretjak, and shot directly with his left foot at the top of the penalty area.
Another kick from Batty GOL!
This is Su Dong's signature shot! The ball went into the net. Although Li Yun judged the direction correctly, his speed was too slow.
This Korean goalkeeper, who is famous for his quick reaction, was still a beat slow in the end!
After Su Dong scored a goal, he raised his right hand high and pointed out his index finger, as if telling everyone that he had scored a goal!
…
Su Dong's goal broke the deadlock on the field, but it further stimulated the anger of the fans on the scene.
Korean fans began to call on the home team frantically, and some even shouted that Barcelona must not be allowed to escape unscathed and Su Dong must not be allowed to score again.
The fans in the stands were full of passion, but the players of Suwon Samsung were not so enthusiastic on the court.
The running distance in the previous half hour had already consumed too much of their physical energy. In addition, the Barcelona players themselves had an advantage in strength. When they began to fail to keep up with Barcelona's passing speed and offensive rhythm, they were completely led by the nose.
Just four minutes after Su Dong scored, Barcelona planned another attack.
After receiving the pass from Su Dong, Deco quickly passed the ball to Xavi, who made a diagonal pass to the right.
Giuly dribbled the ball along the right side, rushed into the right side of the penalty area and passed the ball in front of the goal.
Su Dong rushed over, used his body to push Park Jianxia away, and scored in front of the goal, 2-0! This time, Su Dong raised his right hand high again and showed two fingers.
Barcelona players also ran over one by one to high-five Su Dong to celebrate the goal, but there was not much excitement on their faces.
For them, it is not easy to compete with such opponents.
At the end of the first half, Barcelona scored again.
This time it was Ronaldinho who received Deco's straight pass, dribbled past his opponent on the left side of the penalty area, and passed the ball diagonally to the right. Giuly followed up and easily shot the ball into the goal, scoring another goal for Barcelona.
…
Entering the halftime break with a 3-0 lead, Barcelona players were in a pretty good mood.
Su Dong took the initiative to find Rijkaard, hoping that he could continue to play in the second half.
"I think I can score another goal tonight!"
It would definitely be a very happy thing if I could perform a hat trick tonight.
Rijkaard met Su Dong's request, but told him to play slowly.
"We still have to give our opponents some face!" Rijkaard reminded the players.
After the start of the second half, Barcelona replaced four players at once, but still beat Suwon Samsung.
At this moment, Che Fangen, who was sitting in front of the home team's coaching booth, no longer had the calmness he had in the previous thirty minutes. He began to become anxious and kept shouting at the players on the sidelines. It was obvious that he was very worried about the situation on the field.
The commentator of the live TV broadcast also changed his previous statement and instead hoped that the players could work hard to organize the defense and prevent Barcelona from scoring any more goals, especially Su Dong, who had already scored two goals and if he scored again it would be a hat trick.
How can Koreans accept a hat trick by a Chinese player? After Deco left the field, Xavi began to lead Barcelona's organization and passing. He also began to show his power, frequently feeding good balls to the frontcourt.
First, he assisted Ronaldinho to score, extending the score to 4-0, and then he almost assisted Giuly to score twice, but unfortunately the French winger's shots were always just a few inches away.
Iniesta also played well.
The young player performed quite well in the warm-up match. In the 74th minute, he moved forward, received the pass from Ronaldinho, got rid of the defender, and took the initiative to seek cooperation with Su Dong.
Outside the penalty area, Su Dong used his body to hold Neretlyak back, knocked the ball back to Iniesta, turned around and sprinted forward quickly, and Iniesta understood what he meant and sent a straight pass.
The ball passed between Park Jianxia and Neretlyak and landed on the left side of the penalty spot in the penalty area.
Su Dong quickly inserted himself, stopped the ball and shot it in one go! The ball once again went into the goal of Suwon Samsung, 5-0! After scoring the goal, Su Dong excitedly turned around and rushed out of the court, raised his right hand high, and showed three fingers.
At this moment, the Suwon World Cup Stadium became silent!
He finally scored a hat trick!
…………
…………
The news that Su Dong scored numerous goals and performed a hat trick against Suwon Samsung Bluewings not only caused a huge response in South Korea, but also attracted considerable attention in East Asia and even the world.
This was his first game after joining Barcelona. Although it was just a warm-up match and the opponent was not strong, the fact that he was able to perform a hat trick proved that Su Dong was in good shape.
Rijkaard said in the post-match press conference that this was not Su Dong's best form, and he firmly believed that Su Dong could perform better and more outstanding in the new season! The Korean media was wailing, feeling ashamed of Barcelona's 6-1 slaughter of Suwon Samsung.
Iniesta, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal afterwards, while Suwon Samsung scored in the final moments of the game.
But everyone could see that Barcelona intentionally wanted to let the home team score a goal and save their own face.
If they really fight, they will concede double-digit goals in a matter of minutes.
Regarding Su Dong's hat trick, the Korean media changed their previous dissatisfaction and doubt, and began to believe that Su Dong proved his ability as a world-class star with a hat trick.
Park Jianxia also said in an interview with Korean media after the game that he had tried his best, but still could not defend against Su Dong.
"He always plays in a way and at a pace that we don't expect, which makes it difficult for us to defend him effectively."
"I can only say that there is a very obvious gap between us and him in terms of strength!"
"He showed us the level of a true world-class player!"
South Korean hero Lee Woon-jae also said that he was impressed by Su Dong's performance.
"He deserves all the praise and recognition. He is also the most terrible killer I have ever seen. His three goals benefited me a lot!"
Perhaps because of watching the game, or perhaps because of the influence of the media, more and more Korean fans recognized Su Dong's performance.
When Barcelona was about to leave South Korea and go to Japan, hundreds of fans spontaneously went to the airport to see them off.
Many female fans bid farewell to Su Dong in tears with reluctance.
Woo woo woo, I was wrong, I will reflect on it!
