Chapter 317 Because you are too ugly!
"It was still an attack from Barcelona on the left."
"Iniesta stopped the ball and was pressed hard on the left by the defender."
"Su Dong, come over and support us. Let's see if this attack can be successful."
"Iniesta passed the ball to Su Dong."
"Su Dong stopped the ball with his chest and moved forward, then lobbed it..."
"Nice lob!"
"Su Dong passed the opponent's midfielder Mateo..."
…
After passing Mateo, Su Dong had already arrived at the left side of the penalty area.
Central defender Casa rushed up quickly, blocking Su Dong's route into the penalty area, trying to intercept him.
Su Dong caught up and occupied the most advantageous position, and the ball he picked up was just about to fall.
Facing Kasa, Su Dong first tried a fake move to shoot directly, which tricked Kasa into moving sideways to defend. Then Su Dong suddenly stopped the falling ball to the right with the outside of his right foot.
Kasa realized that he had been tricked and immediately rushed forward.
But Su Dong was faster. He caught up with him one step ahead, and in front of the penalty area, on the left side of the arc, he caught up and shot directly with his right foot.
There was only a dull bang at the scene, and then the ball was seen flying out like a cannonball, and went straight to the upper right corner of the goal at lightning speed.
Santander Athletic goalkeeper Awat was originally standing on the left side. Although he had adjusted his position urgently, he reacted quickly and made another sideways dive, trying to block Su Dong's shot with one hand like before.
But this time, he didn't succeed! ...
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the seventeenth minute, in the seventeenth minute, Su Dong scored his first goal for Barcelona with a wonderful goal! This is also Barcelona's first goal of the season!"
“One to zero!”
After kicking that shot, Su Dong knew that he had scored a goal and rushed to the sidelines excitedly.
Iniesta was the first to react and quickly pounced on Su Dong.
Su Dong laughed excitedly, and at the same time stretched out his hand to signal Iniesta to calm down and not be impulsive!
But Iniesta still jumped on Su Dong, hugged his neck tightly and shouted loudly.
This was not an assist, because before the goal, Su Dong's own series of actions were the most important, but this did not prevent Iniesta from listing it as his first pass leading to a goal this season.
Other Barcelona players also ran over to celebrate Su Dong's first goal for Barcelona.
On the sidelines, Rijkaard and Ten Cate jumped up from their seats again and cheered excitedly for Su Dong's goal.
This goal greatly relieved the pressure on Barcelona and also calmed the mood of the Barcelona players.
“It was a really beautiful goal!”
"We can see that Iniesta's lob pass is not easy to handle, but Su Dong is very imaginative in both stopping the ball and dribbling past the defense."
"It's really hard to imagine that a center forward who is 1.95 meters tall can have such amazing footwork."
"Then, he dribbled the ball forward very quickly, and the final shot, whether it was the speed, angle, or power, was all outstanding!"
"It was a brilliant goal, without a doubt!"
"The number nine player from Barcelona, Su Dong!"
…
Su Dong's goal completely ignited the passion of Barcelona players on the field.
Especially after taking the lead, the players' mentality was relaxed, which made the Barcelona players perform more smoothly.
Just three minutes later, Marcos passed the ball from the backcourt, Su Dong grabbed the first point and headed the ball to Xavi.
When Barcelona's midfielder switched from defense to offense, he quickly moved back, received the ball and made a sudden shot from the front of the penalty area, hitting a long shot directly.
This shot caused Awat to lose his grip, and Deco's follow-up shot was once again caught by Awat.
The goalkeeper of Santander Racing made two consecutive saves, which won unanimous recognition from the fans on the scene.
Barcelona played better and better, especially in the frontcourt attack, which became more and more fluent.
As a center forward, Su Dong can handle any kind of ball well. In addition, his presence is a huge deterrent to Santander Racing's defensive players, which makes Barcelona's offense more effective.
Just four minutes later, after Barcelona's midfielder intercepted the ball, Xavi quickly moved to the right.
Giuly dribbled the ball at high speed to launch a counterattack and passed the ball in front of the goal from the right side of the penalty area.
Su Dong followed up quickly, relying on his height and long legs, he got ahead of the two opposing central defenders in front of the goal and kicked the ball into the goal.
2-0! Double goal!
After scoring another goal, Su Dong became very excited.
Although he has only joined Barcelona for less than two months, he has already clearly felt the biggest difference between this team and Valencia.
In Valencia, it is difficult for him to get so much ball possession and so many opportunities to get the ball. At the same time, the strength of his teammates around him is limited, making it difficult to create so many scoring opportunities for him.
But it is different in Barcelona. This team is famous for ball possession. They love to organize and plan attacks with the ball. Their players have strong personal abilities. Players like Giuly, Deco, Belletti and others were all star players of Monaco, Porto and Villarreal before, but in Barcelona, they are just part of the team's tactical puzzle.
This is not possible in Valencia.
With more opportunities created, Su Dong naturally scored more goals.
…
Just four minutes after Su Dong scored the goal, Van Bronckhorst came from the left and made a low pass to the penalty area after receiving the pass from Iniesta. Su Dong deliberately missed the ball at the front point, creating an opportunity for Giuly who followed up from the back point.
As a result, the Frenchman's shot hit Awat directly in the arms.
Giuly, who was also making his debut and was equally eager to score, was so depressed that he fell to his knees in the penalty area.
It's not that Su Dong didn't help him, but his footwork was a bit unreliable! Then, Su Dong moved to the left again, cooperated with Iniesta, and sent a pass, but Deco's shot was directly high.
In the 41st minute, Sudong once again made a great pass for Giuly, but surprisingly, Awat again saved the Frenchman's shot and then blocked Iniesta's follow-up shot.
At halftime, Barcelona, which was leading by two goals, was actually still very dissatisfied with the situation in the first half.
The team created many chances, and even had several very threatening shots, but goalkeeper Alvaro repeatedly ruined the Barcelona players' plans, especially Giuly. He even wondered if Alvaro had a grudge against him.
Otherwise, how to explain that Su Dong scored two goals with four shots in the first half, while he also scored none with four shots? "Maybe it's because you're too ugly!"
Su Dong's words made everyone in the locker room burst into laughter.
But after the start of the second half, Su Dong was still conscious of helping Giuly score a goal.
In the 62nd minute, Belletti quickly made a breakthrough on the right and made a cross.
Su Dong headed the ball back to the front point from behind the goal, and this time Giuly really seized the opportunity.
With goalkeeper Awat already diving to the left, he easily volleyed the ball into the goal of Atlético Santander, 3-0! Atlético Santander also showed considerable courage, replacing two offensive players in an attempt to snatch a goal from Barcelona and save their home court face.
But in the 80th minute, in a quick counterattack, Su Dong faced the defender on the left side of the penalty area. He dribbled the ball deftly and after dribbling past the defender, he sent a low ball in front of the goal.
Iniesta was caught off guard and his shot from close range hit goalkeeper Awat.
Fortunately, five minutes later, with the help of Su Dong, Xavi assisted Deco to score a goal.
The Portuguese midfielder scored his first goal for Barcelona! What's more interesting is that the three new players, Sudong, Giuly and Deco, all scored in the first round of the new season! …………
…………
A 4-0 away win over Racing Santander!
Su Dong scored twice, Giuly and Deco scored!
After the game, the news quickly spread throughout the Spanish football world.
More importantly, in this game, Barcelona directly threatened the opponent's goal a total of 23 times, 17 of which were opportunities created after breakthroughs from the flanks.
On both wingers, Van Bronckhorst and Iniesta, Belletti and Giuly, all performed very well in this game.
Spain's most authoritative league analysis program [The Day After the Game] analyzed Barcelona's tactics immediately after the game, and believed that Barcelona showed enough dominance and kingly demeanor.
"With two goals and one assist, Su Dong continued his excellent form from last season and made it clear to everyone why he is worth 80 million euros!"
"The key to Barcelona's two-wing strategy is that they have a perfect center forward like Su Dong in the middle of the frontcourt."
"From the course of the game, it can be seen that the defenders of Racing Santander could not stop the ferocious Su Dong. Barcelona's four goals and even several threatening attacks were inseparable from Su Dong."
The program team came to the conclusion that judging from the league debut, Su Dong's joining has made up for Barcelona's lack of offensive power last season, and has also greatly enriched Barcelona's offensive means.
"Now, what Barcelona fans should worry about is not whether they can score goals, but how many goals they can score?"
The Daily Sports also gave a very high evaluation of the team's debut, believing that in the absence of Ronaldinho, Su Dong took on the team's offensive responsibility, seized the opportunity, and proved his strength and value to everyone.
"His performance is really hard to believe. This is his first official game after joining the team!"
"Whether it's with Iniesta, Xavi, Deco, or Giuly, Su Dong can cooperate very skillfully and smoothly. This is undoubtedly due to his strong enough strength and confidence!"
But amid the praise from the outside world, the media and the fans, Barcelona godfather Cruyff suddenly published a column in the most influential newspaper in Catalonia, blasting several new players of the team!
