Chapter 347 The Era of Su Dong
The game starts again.
Barcelona has obviously tasted the sweetness of this tactical style of high-pressure pressing throughout the court.
They are younger and more energetic than Real Madrid's players, so they can run better and have more impact.
Through this kind of high-pressure pressing, the tempo of the game can be increased as much as possible, especially when Real Madrid has the ball.
Grab the ball as soon as possible and launch a counterattack immediately. If the counterattack fails, then control the ball patiently. At this time, Real Madrid will have to start pressing.
It can be said that through this tactical style of play, the opponent can be kept in a fast-paced, high-consumption game environment to the maximum extent, and Barcelona can control the rhythm and reduce consumption by controlling the ball.
Of course, it is not easy to achieve this tactical goal, and it is impossible for the opponent to be completely led by Barcelona.
All I can say is that this tactical style of play was effective only when Barcelona faced Real Madrid tonight, who were not running very actively due to various reasons. If they want to transplant it to other games and other opponents, a lot needs to be done.
But tonight's game undoubtedly brought inspiration to Barcelona.
Not only the coaching staff on the sidelines, but also the players on the field.
Even a veteran who was watching the national derby live on Al Jazeera in Doha, Qatar, was staring at the game on the TV screen, especially the number nine player Su Dong in the screen, with an obsessed look on his face, as if this was the goddess he had been pursuing for many years.
…………
…………
Barcelona once again launched a quick counterattack.
Deco made a long pass to the right, Belletti quickly moved forward, caught up with the ball before it went out of bounds, and kicked the ball forward.
Zidane chased closely all the way, following the inside of Belletti, not allowing the Brazilian right-back a chance to dribble into the penalty area, while also protecting the left-back Carlos behind him.
Belletti had no choice but to stop suddenly and carry the ball diagonally back to the middle.
At the top of the arc, Su Dong, who was originally at the front, suddenly ran towards Belletti from the front and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Belletti understood what he meant and quickly passed the ball, then quickly moved to the right side of the penalty area.
Su Dong turned his back to the direction of attack and used his body to block Paven behind him. At the same time, he stopped Samuel who was approaching. After protecting the ball, he turned around and sent a diagonal pass with his right foot.
This diagonal pass went right to the right side of the penalty area, and Belletti caught up and passed the ball directly without stopping.
Iniesta, who played as a right winger in this game but completely disappeared in the previous cooperation, suddenly appeared in the front point at this time, grabbed Belletti's cross and shot directly.
Casillas reacted very quickly, and he moved sideways to block Iniesta's close shot as if with divine help, but the ball was still within the penalty area.
There was a melee in Real Madrid's penalty area.
After several twists and turns, Salgado kicked the ball out of the penalty area.
Outside the penalty area, Guti stopped the ball with his chest and passed it to the right side of the penalty area to find Beckham.
Beckham had just stopped the ball, and before he could react, the ball in front of his feet disappeared!
Su Dong fell to the ground and slid to tackle the ball away.
The ball fell to the left side and Xavi got the ball on the left side.
Su Dong quickly got up from the ground and saw that Xavi and Ronaldinho were in trouble. He immediately ran over and raised his hand to ask for the ball.
Amid the dense defense, Xavi quickly made a surgical pass, which just cut through the gap in Real Madrid's defense and passed the ball to Su Dong's feet.
Su Dong stopped, pushed, turned around and ran into the penalty area.
After the ball passed through Su Dong, Deco came up to receive the ball.
Deco passed the ball to Van Bronckhorst, the Dutch left-back came up to respond to the attack and passed the ball directly to Ronaldinho. When the Brazilian stopped the ball, he saw Su Dong in the penalty area raise his hand again.
Paven was blocked by him on the right side, separating Su Dong from the goal, while Samuel was behind Su Dong.
Ronaldinho understood what he meant, and after a feint, he made another cross pass.
The ball once again passed between two Real Madrid defenders, as accurately as a scalpel cutting the skin, silky and smooth, making people feel particularly enjoyable.
Su Dong stopped the ball with his left foot, and the football seemed to be covered with glue and stuck obediently to his foot.
As soon as he landed, Su Dong passed the ball back gently with his left foot.
At this time, Van Bronckhorst had already entered the penalty area from the left rib, received the pass from Su Dong, and shot directly with his left foot.
The ball went along a straight line and once again went into the Real Madrid goal.
The entire Camp Nou stadium erupted in crazy cheers once again! Three to zero! …………
…………
Amid the deafening roar of the stadium, Real Madrid vice president Butragueno, who led the team to the away game, looked very solemn.
He would never have thought that Real Madrid would concede three goals in just twenty minutes.
This is absolutely not allowed!
He even had a very ominous premonition that tonight might be a humiliating defeat.
"Su Dong! Su Dong!"
A bald old man sitting next to Butragueno kept repeating the name. If he was captured by live TV, fans familiar with football would definitely recognize him at a glance.
He is Arrigo Sacchi!
He once created the legend of Italian football's glorious peak!
At this moment, he is sitting next to the vice president of Real Madrid, which makes it hard not to wonder if there is something going on between him and Real Madrid? "Su Dong not only has a strong scoring ability, but also has a very obvious tactical role and is very active in the game..."
When Butragueno finished speaking, all his words turned into a long sigh of helplessness.
"In the goal just now, Xavi and Ronaldinho each made an exquisite pass, which was indeed eye-catching, but the key lies in Su Dong's connection. From your left to the right, Su Dong received the ball with his back three times and helped Barcelona transition three times. That was in your penalty area. Your defensive formation was in place, but with so many defensive players, no one could do anything to him. This is the key factor in Barcelona's goal!"
As a great head coach, Arrigo Sacchi has a keen vision and insight that ordinary people do not have.
"Also, Xavi's ball was given to him by Su Dong after he cleared Beckham's ball. It can be said that facing such a player, your defense was completely broken down by him!"
After saying that, Sacchi looked at Butragueno. The vulture had a frustrated look on his face, and was obviously helpless about the result.
"To be honest, I don't understand why you would let such a player transfer to Barcelona half a year ago?"
Faced with Sacchi's soul-searching questioning, Butragueno could not answer for a long time.
This is also the question that Real Madrid fans are repeatedly asking.
Why? "Ahem!" Butragueno sighed with mixed feelings, "To be honest, Arrigo, we really tried our best!"
Saki had an expression that said I'm waiting, waiting for the answer.
"The whole world knows that we and Barcelona have launched a battle for Su Dong, but what no one knows is that at the last minute when Su Dong was about to transfer to Barcelona, we once raised our offer to 100 million."
"One hundred million?" Saki was almost speechless.
This is an unbelievable number all over the world!
You know, even for popular superstars, the average transfer fee is only around 50 to 60 million euros.
Chelsea is wealthy enough that they offered Shevchenko a sky-high price of 80 million euros. After being rejected, the Blues refused to increase the price because Abramovich simply could not afford more money.
Even if it is 80 million euros, Chelsea plans to pay it in the form of players plus installments.
"Then why..." Saki was puzzled.
Logically speaking, no team can refuse 100 million euros.
"The feud between Valencia and Real Madrid is very deep. The two sides had a big fight over the transfer of Mijatovic. The president at that time was Roig, the current president of Valencia, so he vowed that during his second term, he would never let any Valencia player go to Real Madrid."
"So, he would rather accept 80 million euros from Barcelona than 100 million euros from Real Madrid, and Su Dong went to Barcelona because we couldn't promise him a core starting position at the time, but Barcelona was willing to make the promise."
When Sacchi heard this secret, he could only smile bitterly and sigh helplessly, "The president of Valencia is really a hot-blooded boy!"
Butragueno is regretting his decision so much now. Not only him, but Florentino is even more regretful.
Every time Su Dong scored a goal, the president of Real Madrid felt a pang of anxiety.
"We hope to be able to bring in other players to make up for Sudong's regrets, but frankly speaking, this is basically impossible." Butragueno shook his head and sighed.
Sacchi nodded and said, "Looking at the current European football scene, there is no other player like Su Dong!"
Butragueno felt even more pained when he heard Sacchi's comments.
"After tonight, the suspense about the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or will probably disappear," Sacchi sighed.
Butragueno thought about it and agreed with Sacchi's point of view, but he didn't feel good at all.
With Su Dong's performance this season, especially after his outstanding performance in the national derby, he will surely be praised by the world's media tomorrow. Who can ignore him when that time comes? FIFA and France Football Magazine, if they want to run these two awards well and authoritatively, they must be able to convince the vast majority of people. Conspiracy theories are not terrible, but what is terrible is that you treat everyone like a fool! With Su Dong's outstanding performance, even if Shevchenko has Eastern European votes and even if Ronaldinho has the Samba complex of European football over the years, it is estimated that it will be difficult to pose a threat to him.
The reason is simple: Su Dong performed too well.
So good that no one can choose him! "What you missed is not only Su Dong, but also a whole new era!"
Sacchi frowned and looked at Butragueno, seriously considering whether he should accept the challenge.
"This will be an era that belongs to the Soviet Union and Barcelona!"
…………
…………
On the field, Barcelona, who had scored three goals in a row, was still not satisfied. They just slowed down their offensive slightly, but still maintained their pressure on Real Madrid throughout the court.
Obviously, they are still striving for goals.
Especially Su Dong! Woohoo, on the first day of the new year, I am sitting in front of the computer typing... There is still one chapter left, I will finish it as soon as possible.
