Chapter 345: Su Dong, amazing!
The noise at Camp Nou was overwhelming.
Su Dong half-knelt on the right side of the center circle. After tying his shoelaces slowly, he stood up and jumped on the spot before he felt comfortable.
His shoelaces were not tied properly just now and he felt a little uncomfortable.
At this moment, Ronaldo and Raul were standing in the center circle preparing to kick off.
Referee Alberto Malenco held the silver whistle in his mouth and kept looking at the watch on his wrist.
With a crisp whistle, the game officially kicked off.
…
Ronaldo kicked the ball to Raul, who turned and kicked it to Guti, and the Golden Wolf quickly passed it to Zidane.
As soon as Zidane received the ball, he saw a figure flash in front of him, and saw Su Dong rushing in front of him at an extremely fast speed.
The French superstar quickly dribbled the ball back to the middle, but Su Dong continued to press forward.
Not only Su Dong, when Zidane brought the ball to the center circle, he found Ronaldinho also rushing over.
This surprised the Frenchman, and he passed the ball back to Beckham immediately.
As soon as Beckham stopped the ball, Su Dong rushed in front of him again.
Damn! This guy is too fast!
When did La Liga have such a fierce opening press? Before Beckham had time to think, he turned around to protect the ball and made a long pass to the left, passing it to Carlos who was close to the left.
As soon as Carlos stopped the ball, Iniesta rushed in front of him.
There was no choice but for the Brazilian left back to protect the ball and pass it to Raul who was running over to receive the ball. However, there were defensive players following Raul and he was unable to turn around, so he could only pass it back to Samuel.
Iniesta pressed straight at Samuel, forcing the Argentine central defender to make a long pass to the front court.
But at this time, Barcelona's central defender Puyol got the ball first and headed it back to his teammate.
…
"Barcelona were very tight in the opening minutes."
"It's very rare."
"It can be seen that the fighting spirit of Barcelona players is very high. Real Madrid players should be careful."
…
Just seventeen seconds into the game, the ball changed hands.
But what was surprising was that Barcelona did not control the ball slowly as before. After snatching it, it quickly sent it to the frontcourt and went straight to Su Dong.
After Su Dong got the ball, he fought for it and passed it to Ronaldinho on the left.
Real Madrid's pressing was also very tight, and after entangled Ronaldinho in the midline area, they forced the Brazilian to pass the ball back to Van Bronckhorst, but before the Dutchman could stop the ball, Figo easily intercepted the ball and passed it back to Pavon in the backcourt.
Pavon glanced ahead and found that Barcelona's defense was pressing very high, so he sent a long pass.
The ball quickly flew from Real Madrid's backcourt to Barcelona's penalty area.
Ronaldo and Raul rushed forward at the same time, but Puyol was like a nail, firmly nailed between the two of them. He took the lead and kicked the ball out of the baseline.
Subsequently, Real Madrid's corner kick failed to create any threat.
In just less than a minute, the ball changed hands between the two teams, and there was a corner kick. The game was very fast-paced.
After another fierce and fast-paced attack and defense between the two sides, Barcelona got the ball in its own half and was able to barely control the tempo.
Xavi raised his hand, signaling his teammates to hold their ground.
Real Madrid pressed symbolically, but Xavi quickly passed the ball back to Puyol.
Puyol walked forward slowly and stopped the ball. Real Madrid players did not come forward to press, but Ronaldo was still standing near Oleger, which made Puyol dare not move forward and he could only pass the ball to Deco who retreated to receive the ball.
Deco stopped the ball, turned around and dribbled across the center line.
Except for Ronaldo, all other Real Madrid players organized two lines of defense and retreated into their own half.
…
Su Dong observed the situation around him.
He found that the four players in Real Madrid's back line had retreated into the 30-meter area, but the five players in the midfield stayed outside the 30-meter area, close to the center line. Two gaps were formed between the four defenders and the five midfielders, with a gap in the middle.
It is obvious that the double defensive midfielders Beckham and Guti did not return to their positions in time.
After discovering this, Su Dong decisively made a gesture and took the initiative to retreat.
Ronaldinho immediately moved forward and also moved closer to the center.
Deco's pass quickly reached Su Dong's feet.
After stopping the ball and turning around, Zidane and Guti attacked from both sides, especially Zidane, who tried to pull Su Dong from the outside.
Su Dong shook off Zidane's entanglement with his body and blocked Guti with his body.
In terms of physical strength, these two Real Madrid players are no match for Su Dong.
Samuel was clearly aware that his teammates could not stop the ferocious Su Dong, so he rushed out of the penalty area as soon as possible.
Without waiting for Samuel to get close, Su Dong passed the ball diagonally to the right with his right foot, then turned around and rushed quickly to the front of the penalty area.
"Under the high-intensity pressure from two or three players, Su Dong still managed to control the ball steadily. His technical skills are very solid and admirable."
"For someone of his height to have such footwork skills is truly amazing!"
After Iniesta stopped the ball close to the right side, he paused for a moment. Before Carlos could get close, he had already dribbled the ball from the right side of the penalty area straight to the bottom line.
Before Carlos could get close, Iniesta sent a cross with his right foot.
The ball quickly flew into the penalty area from the right and landed in the front point.
Su Dong, who had just passed the ball outside the penalty area, had now rushed to the front point and jumped high.
Samuel was behind Sudong and tried his best to stop him, while Paven left Ronaldinho behind and rushed towards Sudong, but neither of them could get the best position.
Su Dong jumped high like a god, facing Iniesta's cross, and headed for the goal! The ball turned in another direction and flew straight to the left side of the goal.
Casillas tried hard to save the ball, but was still powerless.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Just two minutes into the game, Barcelona took the lead and broke through Real Madrid's goal!!"
"This was the first shot of the entire game for both teams. Su Dong's header went directly into Real Madrid's goal!"
"My God, this is unbelievable!"
In the entire Camp Nou stadium, 100,000 Barcelona fans let out deafening exclamations.
Then, all the fans held up the Tifo's in their hands high and pieced them together to form various patterns, either a huge portrait of Su Dong, or a huge Barcelona team logo, and some even spelled out the number nine.
Su Dong rushed out of the stadium, ran around the field, pointed at the Barcelona fans in the stands, laughed loudly, and finally stood at the presidential stand and punched the fans to vent his anger until he was caught up by his teammates.
"marvelous!"
"You are amazing, boy!"
“Nice goal!”
"Oh my god, you were so excited tonight, you scored with your first shot!"
“It’s amazing!”
Su Dong enjoyed the congratulations from his teammates. When he saw Iniesta, he hugged his teammate and thanked him for the wonderful assist he gave him.
"Sudon and Iniesta have a great rapport."
"From the slow-motion replay, we can see that when Su Dong was dribbling forward, Iniesta kept moving to the right, which prevented Carlos from forming a joint force with his teammates and forced Samuel to rush forward."
"After Su Dong was assigned to the wing, he trusted his teammates very much and rushed forward decisively. Iniesta did not disappoint Su Dong's trust and quickly dribbled the ball to the bottom line and sent a cross."
"It can be said that this is not only a reflection of the individual strengths of the two players, but also a routine of Barcelona's offense."
“One to zero!”
"No one expected that Barcelona had broken the deadlock on the field within three minutes of the start!"
…
After conceding the goal, Real Madrid's situation still did not improve.
It’s not that the Galaxy Battleship doesn’t want to counterattack, but that it can’t.
Because they were surprised to find that Barcelona was not obsessed with controlling the ball, but wanted to speed up the pace.
In other words, when Real Madrid wants to slow down, Barcelona speeds up, and when Real Madrid tries to go faster, Barcelona slows down.
This rhythm made Real Madrid play very awkwardly, and their previous smooth passing and receiving coordination was greatly reduced under Barcelona's full-court pressing tactics, making it difficult to pass the ball effectively.
The Barcelona players seemed to be full of energy and they didn't feel tired. They ran and pressed the opponent without sparing any energy.
Su Dong's tactical role was too obvious, especially given his height and strength, he still had delicate footwork skills, which was even more despairing.
In the seventh minute, Barcelona's Xavi passed the ball to Su Dong outside the penalty area.
Su Dong received the ball with his back to the goal, but was surrounded by four defensive players from Real Madrid. He used his body and footwork to keep the ball from being lost, and then moved it to the left, trying to pass it behind him to find Ronaldinho.
But unfortunately, Ronaldinho did not react in time, causing the ball to be intercepted by Salgado.
Although he failed to create any threat, Su Dong's ability to protect the ball still received warm applause from the fans.
Afterwards, the two teams continued to maintain the momentum they had since the opening.
As always, Barcelona adopted high-pressure pressing against Real Madrid and directly suppressed Real Madrid in the half.
Real Madrid wanted to press forward, but except for Raul, the players in the midfield and frontcourt lacked effective running.
Without running, there are fewer opportunities to pass and receive the ball, and the risk of being intercepted is greater.
No matter how strong the individual abilities of Real Madrid's players are, it is difficult for them to pass the ball effectively across the center line.
It was not until the twelfth minute that Real Madrid once again dribbled the ball across the center line.
Beckham made a long diagonal pass, and Figo quickly inserted into the right side of the penalty area and stopped the ball before Van Bronckhorst, but the Portuguese winger was not as fast as the Dutchman, so he was forced to stop, carry the ball back, and pass it back to Raul.
Raul adjusted himself outside the penalty area and tried to move his left foot to the left rib to find Ronaldo.
Ronaldo was almost standing still waiting for the ball, but Puyol stepped forward decisively and snatched the ball away in advance, leaving the Brazilian players with nothing to do but stare blankly.
After Puyol stole the ball, he saw that Ronaldo did not press on the spot but just watched from a distance. He decided to go all out and rushed forward with the ball, and quickly sent a long pass to Su Dong in front.
At this time, Su Dong had already started sprinting forward.
I am here to wish you all the best and good health for your family in the new year!
