Chapter 336 Don't mess with me!
Su Dong had been paying attention to Messi's actions, so when the young Argentine player made a pass to the middle, he already knew that Messi would pass the ball high, and even based on the momentum of the ball, he quickly determined where it would land.
This is the predictive ability from Klose [Air Overlord]!
Almost at the moment of determining the landing point, Su Dong pushed Cannavaro forward hard.
The Italian central defender is only 1.75 meters tall, 20 centimeters shorter than Su Dong. He is best at defending in the front, so he has always been known for his bravery. However, after being injured at Inter Milan, his playing style has changed.
But when it comes to physical confrontation, he really has no way to deal with Su Dong, who is 20 centimeters taller than him.
Being pushed hard by Su Dong, Cannavaro couldn't help but stagger forward a small step.
It was this small staggering step that made Cannavaro miss the best opportunity to jump.
Starting from the moment Messi stopped and received the ball on the left side of the penalty area, all of this sounds long, but actually happened in an instant.
It was not until Su Dong jumped high that the fans in the entire Alpi Stadium screamed.
Messi's pass had no arc. After Su Dong jumped up, he used his body to block Thuram behind him.
The French center back was ten centimeters taller than Cannavaro, but ten centimeters shorter than Su Dong. He was blocked by Su Dong behind him. Even if he jumped, he could do nothing and could only watch Su Dong head the ball into the goal.
Buffon was originally standing close to the right post. Although he reacted immediately, Su Dong headed the ball to the lower left corner, and it was a ground-bounce ball. Even if the Juventus goalkeeper had three heads and six arms, he was unable to do anything about it.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"
"In the 84th minute, Su Dong scored another goal for Barcelona!"
"Barcelona reversed Juventus!!!"
There was a burst of wailing from the stands of the Alpi Stadium, and Juventus fans simply couldn't believe their eyes.
This is the only team that has scored twice against Juventus in a single game so far this season! Originally, after Nedved opened the scoring for Juventus, they thought the team had already secured victory. Even though Barcelona later equalized the score, they were still confident that it would at least be a draw.
Unexpectedly, in the second half, before the end of the game, at the most critical moment, Su Dong's decisive goal helped Barcelona reverse Juventus, and also broke Juventus' record of conceding only one goal this season.
After scoring the goal, Su Dong shouted "Rio" and quickly rushed out of the stadium.
Along the way, Su Dong shouted excitedly, and when he reached the sidelines, he raised his arms high.
Messi was also extremely excited. He jumped directly behind Su Dong and shouted with him, so excited as if he had scored the goal himself.
"Wuhu! Su, that's great! Haha!" Messi cheered.
Su Dong carried him on his back and celebrated the goal on the sidelines.
Barcelona players also ran over one after another to celebrate Su Dong's goal, and also praised Messi.
Although he is only seventeen years old, at this critical moment against Juventus, Messi created dangerous situations twice after coming on as a substitute. The first time he almost seized the opportunity but failed to stop the ball, and the second time he simply made a cross from the side and assisted Su Dong to score.
This is really unexpected!
"The 17-year-old Messi assisted the 20-year-old Su Dong to score!"
"This Barcelona goal is very beautiful. From the moment Iniesta sent this long-distance pass, the whole process of scoring the goal was a wonderful masterpiece."
"The young player Messi made a sudden stop on the right side and then used a fake move to deceive Emerson and dribble the ball back to the baseline. This showed us the young player's footwork. His movements were so fast that it was dazzling."
"Su Dong's prediction of the ball's landing point is also quite amazing. He obviously judged the landing point faster than Cannavaro and Thuram, so he deliberately squeezed Cannavaro out of the way."
"This was a great collaboration between the young players at Barcelona."
…
The moment Su Dong scored a goal, Capello raised his hands above his head in anger.
From one to zero to one to two, Barcelona scored two goals in a row.
The Juventus coach is now feeling a little regretful. Did he give up too early?
If they had continued to press Barcelona after scoring the goal, would the situation have been better? "Su Dong!" Capello gritted his teeth and pronounced the name.
Needless to say, the second goal was scored. Iniesta and Messi performed well, but the key was Su Dong's grasp of opportunities in front of the goal, especially his prediction of the ball's path, which was even faster than Cannavaro and Thuram.
This is incredible!
As for the first goal, the assist was given by Iniesta and the goal was scored by Ronaldinho. On the surface, Su Dong seemed to have done nothing wrong, but in fact, this link of Su Dong was precisely the most crucial.
At that time, Barcelona was heavily blocked by Juventus' defense and had no effective way out. They could only create threats through long shots. However, after Sudon received the long pass from the backcourt, he turned to the right, attracted the attention of four defensive players, and created a gap for Iniesta, which gave Iniesta the opportunity to make a cross pass.
Without Su Dong, this goal would never have been possible!
"Eighty million euros!" Capello was so angry that his teeth ached.
He can now be sure that Su Dong is worth the price!
Of course, whether 80 million euros is needed is a matter of opinion, but Capello can be sure that it is worth it to buy Su Dong with 80 million euros! The premise is that Barcelona can give full play to Su Dong's role.
It now seems that Barcelona knows the value of Su Dong better than anyone else.
On the contrary, Capello and Juventus, despite all their calculations, still missed out on the Soviet Union.
…
After celebrating with his teammates on the sidelines, Su Dong slowly walked back to the court.
At this time, Ibrahimovic was already standing in the center circle ready to kick off.
"Oh, you are all ready!" Su Dong said with a smile, standing outside the center circle.
Ibrahimovic's face looked so ugly and miserable, especially the look he gave Su Dong, which seemed like he was breathing fire.
If he didn't have a bit of rationality left, he would have taken action at this moment.
He has practiced karate! At this moment, Ibrahimovic has three words written on his forehead: Don't mess with me!
On the contrary, his teammate, Sarayeta, looked at Ibrahimovic, then at Su Dong, and then back at Ibrahimovic in confusion. What on earth were these two kids doing? …………
…………
The game ended with Barcelona defeating Juventus 2-1 away from home.
Juventus head coach Capello described the defeat as a disaster in the post-match press conference.
"If you don't create more scoring chances, the key to whether you win is whether you concede goals."
"Frankly speaking, we have a big gap with Barcelona in creating scoring opportunities. Su Dong played crazy tonight. You can see that he really wants to win. He also seized our mistakes. He embodied the core value of a world-class center forward."
Capello said that Juventus' performance was not bad, and every player played well, especially Ibrahimovic. "He assisted Nedved in two consecutive games. I am very happy with his personal performance tonight. I think he is already an excellent center forward in the top four leagues."
According to media analysis after the game, Capello used the term "excellent center forward in the four major leagues" to describe Ibrahimovic, but used the term "world-class center forward" to describe Su Dong, which means that in Capello's mind, Su Dong's performance and strength are superior to Ibrahimovic's.
Turin Sports Daily commented on the game immediately after the game, believing that Barcelona's performance tonight was mixed.
Su Dong was undoubtedly the biggest highlight and was selected as the best player of the game, which was well deserved. But although Ronaldinho scored a goal, his overall performance was average and he did not seem to be in his best condition.
"On the contrary, several young players in the Barcelona team, such as Iniesta who started the game and Messi who came on as a substitute, were eye-catching."
"Both young players had one assist each. Iniesta's best position should be in the midfield. He and Xavi have a good match, while Messi and Su Dong have a tacit understanding."
"According to the information we received earlier, Barcelona has a tradition of playing indoor three-person football games, and Su Dong, Iniesta and Messi are a fixed trio, so it is not surprising that they have a tacit cooperation on the court."
But Turin Sports Daily believes that Barcelona's 2-1 reversal of Juventus away from home does not mean anything. It can only be said that Barcelona has seized the initiative in the battle for the top spot in the group, but Juventus still has a chance.
More importantly, judging from the current group situation, the competition between Barcelona and Juventus is merely a competition for the right to qualify as the top team. As for the second place in the group, it seems that there is basically no suspense.
If the Italian media took a cold approach to the defeat at the Alpi Stadium, the Spanish media seemed to have grasped a lifeline and gave high praise to Barcelona's away reversal against Juventus.
Even Marca, which tends to favor Real Madrid, praised Barcelona this time.
The reason is that although Real Madrid narrowly won Dynamo Kyiv 1-0 at home, the whole game was unremarkable and thrilling at the same time.
As for the other two La Liga teams, Deportivo La Coruna drew 0-0 with Liverpool away, but Irueta's team drew 0-0 in two of the three Champions League group matches and lost 0-2 away to Monaco. Their performance is really not worthy of praise.
As for the defending champion Valencia, their performance was even worse.
Apart from a 2-0 home win over Anderlecht in the first round of the group stage, they then lost 1-2 to Werder Bremen away from home.
In this round, the Bat Army suffered a major defeat at home.
Ranieri's team was brutally defeated 5-1 by Inter Milan at the Mestalla Stadium.
The Spanish media were in disbelief at the Bats' disastrous defeat.
"That night, Mestania was a river of blood!"
