Chapter 350: Great Shame
King of Camp Nou! Daily Sports published a front-page headline after the game, praising Su Dong's performance and for the first time dubbing him the title of "King of Camp Nou" for his outstanding performance in the national derby.
With four goals and one assist, Su Dong scored all the goals for Barcelona! When evaluating Su Dong's performance, Daily Sports used a series of exaggerated words such as incredible, unbelievable, unparalleled, and world-class to praise him, believing that it was Su Dong's outstanding performance that helped Barcelona beat Real Madrid 5-0.
"In this most important and world-renowned match of the season so far, Su Dong proved to everyone why he is worth 80 million euros! He even made everyone admit that Barcelona made a very wise deal. Su Dong will become the unshakable king of Camp Nou in the next ten years!"
Daily Sports stated that this season's battle of the century announced to the world the birth of Barcelona's Dream Team II dynasty.
After experiencing some bumps in the road last season, Rijkaard's team gradually figured out the team's ideas, and Su Dong's joining has greatly improved the team's offense.
"If it wasn't clear enough before, then in the national derby, Barcelona's full-court pressing tactics made everyone's eyes light up. They suppressed Real Madrid very badly throughout the game. The Galacticos didn't even have a shot on goal. It was absolutely unbelievable."
Daily Sports analyzed the game data of the national derby. In terms of ball possession, Barcelona was 56% and Real Madrid was 44%. It seems that there is not much difference, but if you have watched the game, it is not difficult to find that Barcelona's ball possession is more threatening, while Real Madrid's possession is more useless and time-consuming.
In terms of the number of shots, Barcelona had a total of 20 shots, nine of which were on target, and scored five goals. In contrast, Real Madrid had only five shots, none of which were on target, and zero goals.
In terms of goalkeeper saves, Valdes made only one save in the entire game, while Casillas made eleven saves, which definitely reflects the huge gap in defensive quality between the two teams.
Even in terms of the number of fouls, Barcelona had 16 and Real Madrid had 13, with Barcelona always leading.
According to the Daily Sports, out of Barcelona's 20 shots, Su Dong took a total of seven shots, six of which were on target, and scored four goals.
"Whether it is the team's overall technical statistics or the various data of the core players, Barcelona is obviously better than Real Madrid, especially Su Dong, who has contributed the peak performance of a world-class superstar."
Daily Sports reposted a comment from Van Basten during a post-match interview.
The Dutch legend praised his good friend Rijkaard, saying that he very much hopes that his Dutch national team can also play football like Barcelona. Barcelona's football in the national derby is very attractive and its tactics are very bold. It can go far in any competition, not only winning the game but also pleasing the fans. It is the team he admires most.
"The one who impressed me most in this game was Su Dong. His second goal stunned me."
"I can't describe the shock I felt when I saw him dribbling past the defense. I can only say that it was a very imaginative innovation. Although Su Dong is only 20 years old, he is already the best and most decisive superstar in the world!"
The Daily Sports said that being highly praised by Van Basten proved that Su Dong was on the right track to the top of professional players.
"We have every reason to believe that Su Dong will get the reward he deserves in December!"
…
Barcelona godfather Cruyff also updated his column immediately after the game, using half of the space to introduce the significance of this game.
After defeating Real Madrid 5-0, Barcelona achieved three goals at the strategic level for the entire season.
One is to defeat the opponent and further expand the lead in the standings; the other is to let the fans enjoy the fun of football games and bring artistic offensive football to the Nou Camp; and most importantly, Barcelona has dealt a heavy blow to Real Madrid's morale, which is particularly important in the course of the next season.
"With a 5-0 win in the national derby, I can say that Barcelona has already firmly grasped half of the La Liga championship. Rijkaard's team should set a proper goal for themselves next. They should set a higher expectation."
In the other half of the column, Cruyff focused on Su Dong, believing that Su Dong was the most eye-catching star of Barcelona's performance tonight. He also used the complete victory of the game to support his previous point of view.
That is, he has always believed that Barcelona should concentrate its offensive resources rather than spreading them out too much.
"Although this was not Rijkaard's deliberate arrangement, but a situation that naturally formed when the players performed on the field, we can clearly see that when Barcelona concentrated all its offensive resources on Su Dong, the sharp knife, he became sharper and more unstoppable."
Cruyff cited several scenes in the game to prove that Real Madrid was not vulnerable. Other Barcelona attacking players found it difficult to create chances in the same situation. Even if they shot, it was very reluctant and could only be a long shot or miss the target.
But Su Dong can pose a threat given the same opportunity, and this is the biggest difference.
"Real Madrid's defensive players had no way to stop Su Dong, which tells us that Barcelona's offensive tactics should revolve around Su Dong to maximize his threat and role and organize the team's offense."
Cruyff also said that what was most satisfying about Sudon was not only his goals, but also his efforts.
The godfather of Barcelona listed everything that happened to Su Dong after he joined Barcelona, including daily training, extra training during holidays, and his style on the court. He said that not only did Su Dong's playing style perfectly fit Barcelona, he was even the key to Barcelona's high-pressure tactics throughout the court.
"Looking at the current world football scene, there is no one who can reach Su Dong's level in terms of speed, technique, flexibility, strength confrontation, and game commitment. He is a center forward born for the high-pressure tactics throughout the court!"
Finally, Cruyff believes that based on Su Dong's performance this season, if he fails to win the FIFA World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or in December, it will definitely be a shady deal and the two major awards will completely lose their authority.
"It is hard for me to imagine such a scene happening. It is an absolute disgrace to football!"
…
In addition to the media and football figures close to Barcelona, even AS, which has always served as the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, changed the direction of public opinion this time and began to praise Su Dong, believing that Su Dong alone has completely left the seven superstars of Real Madrid far behind.
AS believes that Rijkaard gave the players more room to move in this game, especially Su Dong, who was at the front and had a lot of freedom, which allowed him to display his strength without any scruples.
"He performed like an artist. He was always the starting point of Barcelona's attack. He made Real Madrid's defense helpless. Time and time again, they watched him plan the attack but were powerless to do anything."
AS said that Real Madrid's defense has been completely tortured and has lost its confidence.
"Paven, that poor kid, burst into tears in the locker room after the game. He was frustrated by his tragic mistake in the last goal conceded because he thought his sliding tackle could at least stop Su Dong, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be a complete joke."
"And Carlos, he apologized to everyone in the locker room after the game. He admitted that it was his mistake that allowed Barcelona to score the crucial fourth goal. At that time, he had no idea that Su Dong's speed could be so fast."
"With a height of 1.95 meters, he is faster than Owen. This is unbelievable!"
AS also interviewed Real Madrid vice president Butragueno after the game. The club legend who led the team on the away game felt very disappointed with the crushing defeat. At the same time, he admitted that Barcelona has firmly grasped the advantage in the battle for the La Liga championship this season.
"Su Dong is the biggest gap between the two teams in this game!"
Butragueno said that if time could go back to July, he would support Florentino and sign Sudon at all costs, because signing him would be equivalent to signing the strongest player in the world in the next ten years.
"But unfortunately, we missed Sudong. This is the cruel reality!"
…
In addition to the Spanish media, major media around the world are competing to report on Su Dong's outstanding performance in the national derby.
Major news agencies and authoritative media from various countries have given it overwhelming praise.
Almost all media agree that the two highest awards in December will no longer be suspenseful and will belong to Su Dong, which will definitely create a new era in world football.
Because Su Dong will become the first Asian player in history to win the FIFA World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or. This not only represents China, but also Asia!
China's authoritative newspapers and national television stations reported Su Dong's outstanding performance in the national derby in the most important time news and newspaper pages, believing that Su Dong has become the most successful flag bearer of Chinese sports in the world, showing the Chinese people's bravery, tenacity and hardworking spirit to the world.
However, many domestic media outlets have also rushed to ask soul-searching questions.
While Su Dong helped Barcelona beat Real Madrid 5-0 in Spain and won praise from all over the world, at home, the national team coach Ali Haan was sacked because the team lost the qualification for the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
The most humiliating thing is that the national team lost 0-1 to Kuwait in the away game, and also lost to Kuwait in the subsequent goal difference match with Hong Kong, China.
"It's ok that we're not as good at playing football as others, but we can't even do math as well as others. This is absolutely a huge shame!"
On one hand, there was worldwide acclaim, and on the other hand, there was great shame and humiliation. These two extremes appeared at the same time, causing a huge response in the country.
