Chapter 327 I underestimated Su Dong!
After losing the ball, Barcelona, playing at home, launched a fierce attack.
First, captain De Coquelin passed the ball to the frontcourt to find Giuly. The French winger made an offside move and broke into the right side of the penalty area. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Luis Garcia, he calmly shot the ball, but center back Alvaro cleared the ball in front of the goal, defusing the crisis.
Then, Edmilson made a straight pass, and Luis Garcia left the goal and caught the ball before Giuly.
After passing three opposing players in the backcourt, Belletti tried to cross the ball, but the ball was blocked by Zaragoza's left-back Toledo.
Van Bronckhorst and Xavi each got the chance to shoot, but they were all long shots from 25 meters away and failed to pose a threat. Instead, they exposed the Barcelona players' impatience in attacking.
Barcelona completely controlled the situation by virtue of its home advantage and strength, but it was difficult to get scoring opportunities.
Ronaldinho also tried to open up the situation from the left. After breaking through, he was fouled by the opponent and his direct free kick was also high.
The continuous missed opportunities made the players on the field a little impatient and made the fans in the stands more anxious.
Only Su Dong.
He has been waiting, waiting calmly.
This is his characteristic, especially as he gains more experience in the game, he becomes more and more adept at controlling his emotions.
He was always surrounded by defensive players. Zaragoza deployed heavy troops around him and Ronaldinho. As soon as the two got the ball, someone would immediately surround them and surround them.
Therefore, Su Dong was more focused on running and pulling, using his possession of the ball to attract defensive players and create opportunities for his teammates.
Otherwise, how could Giuly have had several chances? But unfortunately, Barcelona still failed to score.
Although Zaragoza narrowly avoided relegation last season, its defense is not bad. It is not inferior to strong teams such as Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao and Deportivo La Coruna. Zaragoza also relied on its solid defense to defeat Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final and win the Copa del Rey championship.
So far this season, Zaragoza has two wins and one draw in the first three rounds, conceding four goals, but in the last round, they conceded three goals in a 4-3 home win over Albacete.
Because of this, Victor Munoz attached great importance to defense during this round of visiting Camp Nou.
The player, who played for Zaragoza and Barcelona during his playing career, is very familiar with the Camp Nou and has carefully formulated targeted tactics with the aim of freezing Sudon and Ronaldinho.
But even he himself did not expect that he, who was trying to draw the ball, would encounter a gift from the Barcelona defender shortly after the start of the game.
This time, Zaragoza defended even more resolutely!
Su Dong knew very well that when encountering such an opponent, he must not be anxious, but must remain patient and wait for opportunities.
And this opportunity came in the 31st minute.
…
Zaragoza launched a counterattack. Captain Quattro joined the counterattack and made a cross from the right, but former Real Madrid winger Savio's header was saved by Valdes.
The Barcelona goalkeeper quickly threw the ball in to launch the attack.
After two consecutive passes, Deco got the ball on the left side of the frontcourt, took two steps forward, and suddenly sent a straight pass.
At the front of the penalty area, Sudong used his body to hold back Zaragoza center back Diego Milito.
The tall and strong Su Dong completely suppressed Diego Milito in terms of height, weight, and strength. The Argentine central defender was blocked behind Su Dong and could not move at all. He could only hold on desperately.
After Su Dong stopped the ball, he immediately turned to the right and cut inside with the ball.
Another central defender Alvaro and midfielder Cani retreated, but Su Dong turned around and suddenly started moving, rushing sideways with the ball. Before everyone could react, he shot with his right foot.
The ball flew in an arc at an extremely fast speed and went into the right side of Zaragoza's goal.
Although goalkeeper Luis Garcia dived sideways, he was standing too far to the left and was unable to reach the ball.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the 32nd minute, Su Dong equalized the score for Barcelona!"
"This is a very crucial and timely goal!"
"When the team needed a goal, it was Su Dong who stepped forward again!"
After scoring the goal, Su Dong rushed out of the court, opened his arms and laughed out loud.
Nearly 80,000 Barcelona fans in the stands rushed out of their seats in unison, shouting Su Dong's name frantically.
This is his fifth goal this season! Continuing his previous scoring form in Valencia, Su Dong's performance in Barcelona is still very good. He repeatedly stepped up at critical moments, which made people see the value of his 80 million man! At this point, who dares to say that he is not worth this price?
Looking at the four major leagues, is there any player in his twenties who can perform as well as Su Dong? "This goal is really very, very crucial, like timely rain, saving Barcelona."
"Before the goal, we saw that Barcelona's players were getting anxious. Xavi and Van Bronckhorst took hasty long shots. This was not like the calm Barcelona."
"Sudon's goal allowed Barcelona to calm down!"
…
Just eight minutes after Sudong's goal, before the end of the first half, Barcelona launched another attack.
Deco made a lob pass and sent the ball to the left side of the penalty area in the frontcourt.
Ronaldinho took the ball from Quattro, one on one.
The Brazilian superstar just stopped the ball and then he shook his whole body, made a fake move, shook off Quattro, and lightly passed the ball right in front of the goal.
Su Dong, who was supporting the ball in the middle, continued to rush forward despite being sandwiched between two central defenders, Diego Milito and Alvaro.
His left and right hands were being pulled by the opponent, but he still dragged his opponent along while sprinting. Relying on his height and long legs, he kicked before the two of them and lightly cushioned Ronaldinho's pass.
The ball turned in another direction and went into the right side of Zaragoza's goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"A double goal! Another double goal!"
"Su Dong, scored twice again!"
"My God, in just ten minutes, Su Dong scored two goals!"
"This is simply unbelievable!"
"Barcelona successfully reversed Zaragoza!"
…
Near the midfield, David Villa initially didn't realize that Barcelona would score.
He still had some confidence in the team's defense. Even when Ronaldinho stopped the ball on the left, he still believed that the team could hold on.
But what he never expected was that in the blink of an eye, he was awakened by the referee's clear whistle.
At first, he thought it was a foul, but then he saw Su Dong open his arms again and rush out of the court.
Goal? Villa was surprised, and the entire Camp Nou stadium was boiling again!
The sound waves created by 80,000 people were magnificent and extremely shocking! What was going on?
How did he score the goal? Villa was confused, but the only answer he got was the drooping heads of his teammates around him.
They defended hard throughout the first half, but were ultimately defeated by the tacit cooperation of the two superstars.
First, Su Dong relied on his personal ability to stop the ball with his back, turned inside, and shot with his right foot, successfully equalizing the score. Then Ronaldinho made a seemingly light pass, and Su Dong broke through the double-team of two central defenders and shot in front of the goal.
When Villa heard the process of the second goal, he was completely stunned.
Especially when he looked at Su Dong celebrating with his teammates on the sidelines, his eyes changed.
He underestimated Su Dong!
He knew that Su Dong was no ordinary person since he could score so many goals in La Liga, but he didn't expect him to be so strong.
Villa is well aware of Diego Milito and Alvaro's defensive abilities, but he didn't expect that the two of them could not stop Su Dong when they joined forces. How terrible is that? Of course, Su Dong's height and strength are indeed very good. Diego Milito and Alvaro are much shorter than him, which is really a disadvantage, but isn't this also part of the player's strength advantage? It can be said that Su Dong's two goals seem simple, but in fact they are very skillful.
On the contrary, Villa's goal just now was really a stroke of luck.
…………
…………
After Su Dong scored twice and reversed the situation, there was not much suspense in the game.
After the second half, Barcelona continued to strengthen its offensive and had consecutive opportunities.
Su Dong was still very active. He first received the ball with his back to the goal in the penalty area and then passed it back to Deco, who made a long shot that was slightly off target.
Then Su Dong moved to the left, received a pass from Ronaldinho, cut inside and broke through two defenders, and shot again with his right foot. However, the shot was saved by goalkeeper Luis Garcia and he failed to score.
Two minutes later, Su Dong and Ronaldinho made a series of two-pass wall passes on the left, and the two completely fooled several Zaragoza defenders. In the end, Ronaldinho scored with a single shot.
In the 68th minute, Barcelona took a tactical corner kick, and Xavi scored a long-range arc shot against Zaragoza.
Finally, in the 79th minute of the game, Ronaldinho made a straight pass from the left, and Van Bronckhorst, who came in from behind, shot with his left foot in the penalty area.
Five to one!
Barcelona achieved a big reversal at their home stadium!
…
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the 80,000 Barcelona fans in the stands stood up in unison and cheered wildly for the team.
This was the most exciting game Barcelona has played so far this season.
After Su Dong scored two goals in a row, the game gradually got better. In the second half, they directly pressed Zaragoza, beating this team with tenacious defense into a state of bruises and disarray.
With two shots and one assist, Su Dong also won the man of the match award! Ronaldinho also performed well. Together with Xavi, Deco and Van Bronckhorst, the Barcelona team showed a surprising state.
When Real Madrid was experiencing a slump, Barcelona was getting better and better, and the players' cooperation was becoming more and more tacit, which made everyone believe that Barcelona would be the strongest and most powerful contender for the La Liga title this season.
Especially Su Dong and Ronaldinho, the two superstars are cooperating more and more tacitly, which is even more gratifying.
