Chapter 329 The Perfect Storm
The Perfect Storm!
After Barcelona defeated Real Mallorca 6-1 away from home, Daily Sports published the news immediately and gave a very high evaluation of the game, believing that this was Barcelona's best first half performance this season.
Mundo Deportivo said that Barcelona has now become synonymous with victory.
So far this season, after five rounds of La Liga and one round of the Champions League, Barcelona has won six consecutive games. This is a very surprising start and has also allowed Barcelona to take the lead in La Liga.
Because after five rounds, Barcelona is two points ahead of Valencia, the second-placed team in the standings. The following three teams, Espanyol, Osasuna and Sevilla, all have ten points, five points behind Barcelona.
The league has just started, and Barcelona has already taken a certain lead in the standings.
But Daily Sports believes that the most important thing is Barcelona's performance on the field.
Barcelona's mouthpiece reviewed several games so far this season and believed that Barcelona's performance was getting better and better.
"Rijkaard's team is clearly improving and the teamwork is getting better and better."
"The match against Real Mallorca was almost a showcase for how Barcelona have performed this season."
"In the first half, Barcelona, with Sudon and Ronaldinho, swept Real Mallorca and took over 70 percent of the ball. They scored six goals, each of which was brilliant. Real Mallorca had basically surrendered in advance in the face of Barcelona's offensive."
"But in the second half, after Su Dong was substituted, Barcelona's attack was curbed. Larsson, who was the top scorer of the Scottish Premier League last season and scored 31 goals, actually missed two one-on-one opportunities in the second half."
"Not only that, without Su Dong charging in the front, players like Ronaldinho, Giuly, Deco and Xavi also fell into the quagmire. Barcelona's entire offense was very forced and was far from smooth as in the first half."
Daily Sports analyzed that this is the role of Su Dong in the current Barcelona team.
"Everyone has forgotten his outstanding scoring ability. As a powerful center forward, Su Dong has an unparalleled tactical role. He is very comprehensive. No matter what kind of ball he gets, he can handle it with ease. Moreover, he has a large range of activities and his positioning is very smart, which allows him to effectively connect Barcelona's offense on the court."
"From the second half, after Su Dong left the field, Barcelona's offense was obviously blocked and became very slow."
The Daily Sports said that if before the season, there were still people who questioned Su Dong's value of 80 million euros, now all the doubts have disappeared. Su Dong continued his outstanding performance in Valencia last season and proved to everyone with his performance that his outstanding performance was not a flash in the pan.
"There is no doubt that Su Dong is already the best center forward in European football today, and there is no need for another one!"
Daily Sports also analyzed Sudon's future in Barcelona from the perspective of life off the field, believing that he has been recognized by two bigwigs in the locker room, including Puyol and Ronaldinho.
"Compared with new players like Giuly and Larsson, Su Dong integrated into the locker room much faster."
"Previously, the media reported that Su Dong plays indoor football with his teammates whenever he has time every day. This is also a way for Su Dong to integrate into the team."
Daily Sports also revealed that Su Dong bought a house in the western suburbs of Barcelona and is renovating it. He will officially move in in the near future. "This also represents Su Dong's determination to succeed in Barcelona."
Several other new players in the team, including several Brazilian players, basically chose to rent houses, and some even lived in hotels.
At the end of the commentary, Daily Sports stated that Sudong, who just turned 20, is becoming the banner of Barcelona's new generation and the team's most important player.
"We have every reason to believe that as long as he continues to maintain this form, he will be able to make history again in December!"

Another Barcelona mouthpiece, Mundo Deportivo, made the front-page headline "Best Partner" and used a photo of Suarez and Ronaldinho celebrating a goal as the cover, saying that the two players directed a perfect offensive football.
Mundo Deportivo analyzed that Real Mallorca is indeed inferior to Barcelona in strength, and Floro has few cards to play and it is difficult to come up with anything new. But before the game, no one could have imagined that Barcelona would play such a wonderful first half, especially the amazing performances of Sudon and Ronaldinho.
"With the first three shots, Su Dong scored a hat trick. What an amazing efficiency!"
Mundo Deportivo was amazed at Su Dong's performance, especially the fact that these three goals were basically not excellent opportunities in theory.
"For the first goal, Ronaldinho passed the ball to Su Dong, who got rid of the two central defenders with his speed. He then stopped the ball with his chest and turned to shoot. This was done with his body and skills. It looks easy, but it is difficult to do well."
"Not to mention the second goal. Ronaldinho's pass and Van Bronckhorst's cross were indeed very accurate, but Su Dong broke through a channel under the pressure of two central defenders and rushed to the front of the goal to score. This in itself is enough to explain everything."
As for the third goal, it was even more difficult.
Xavi's sudden pass behind him was very unexpected, but Su Dong reacted in time.
His offside trap showed his outstanding speed and explosiveness. His feint after receiving the ball and dribbling past goalkeeper Moya made people recall the image of Ronaldo in the past.
"You know, Ronaldo is only about 1.8 meters tall, and Su Dong is 1.95 meters tall. But watching him dribble past Moya in a series of movements is really unbelievable. He is so light and so calm!"
Mundo Deportivo said that Su Dong's first three goals seemed simple, but were actually very difficult.
"We think it's easy because Su Dong has created an illusion for us. His effortlessness makes us think it's easy, but in fact it's difficult."
"If you don't believe it, let's look at Larsson's two one-on-one chances in the second half. In fact, they were good chances, but he didn't seize them. The main reason was that he didn't handle the details well."
"For example, in his first solo shot, he also successfully got past the offside, but the subsequent shot was too sloppy, lacking power and angle. It was obvious that he was not calm enough at the moment of shooting."
"Deco also sent him a through ball, which helped him to get a one-on-one chance, which was very similar to the one in the first half when Su Dong dribbled past Moya. However, the two handled the situation very differently. Larsson chose to shoot directly, while Su Dong chose to dribble past the goalkeeper before shooting."
Mundo Deportivo believes that the reason for the two players' different choices cannot be summarized in a simple sentence or a simple characteristic, but is a comprehensive difference.
"At the beginning of the season, many people thought that Larsson's arrival would be a threat to Su Dong because he is also a striker who scores goals like crazy. But judging from the games over this period, Larsson is being left behind by Su Dong."
"Su Dong has become the guarantee for Barcelona's goals!"

While Barcelona beat Real Mallorca 6-1 away from home, Real Madrid lost 1-2 to Athletic Bilbao away from home.
Real Madrid's mouthpiece AS compared the performance of the two teams after the game and believed that Barcelona was replacing Real Madrid and becoming the new champions of La Liga. In particular, the offensive combination of Sudon and Ronaldinho had become the most feared offensive combination in La Liga and even in the entire European football world.
"At the San Mamés Stadium, Real Madrid's attack was not as sharp as expected. After losing two goals in a row, only Raul stepped up in the second half and scored a goal for the team, but it was too late to save the defeat."
AS revealed that after five rounds of matches, Real Madrid has fallen to eighth in the league, six points behind Barcelona.
"It's hard for us to accept, but we have to say that we lost hope of winning the La Liga title from the start."
AS also summarized and analyzed the problems of Real Madrid this season, believing that the signing of too many superstars has led to conflicts in the locker room. More importantly, several superstars in the team are relatively old.
"Looking at the 20-year-old Su Dong, who scored 10 goals in five games and is leading the scorer list, I wonder what Ronaldo feels? Will he remember his own style in the past?"
AS stated that missing out on the Soviet Union may be Real Madrid's biggest regret and most painful memory in the next ten years.

Su Dong scored four goals and ten goals in five league games.
This string of data spread around the world overnight, with media and fans around the world scrambling to report it.
L'Equipe even said that Su Dong was using his crazy performance to make the two supreme honors at the end of the year no longer suspenseful.
Germany's Bild also believed that no individual selection would reject such a crazy Su Dong! The British Times even believed that with such a wonderful performance, coupled with the amazing state of last season, it would be absolutely incredible if Su Dong did not win the award.
Even the Gazzetta dello Sport believes that "Although Shevchenko has performed very well and his recent form has improved significantly, it is difficult for him to have a chance to win personal honors when facing such a Su Dong!"
However, AC Milan general manager Galliani still expressed his support for Shevchenko in an interview with the media.
"Su Dong did perform very well, and we couldn't even imagine that he was only 20 years old, but I want to say that Shevchenko is still the best player in the world and the best player in the past year."
"Everyone in our club will do our best to help him achieve that honor!"
Arsenal manager Wenger also supports his favorite player Henry.
"Perhaps, Su Dong performed better in terms of statistics, but Henry is the best and greatest player on the planet. He deserves a Golden Ball and the World Footballer of the Year!"
