Chapter 364 Super Long Shot
Reina stood in the penalty area, looking at the front court leisurely.
Barcelona's condition tonight was obviously not very good. They were suppressed by Villarreal's high pressing since the first half. The stars did not show their due condition and strength, which made it easy for the home team to control the situation.
Even in the second half, it was still the same.
The only bright spot was Marcos Senna.
Reina is no stranger to this former teammate.
Everyone in Villarreal knows that he has the ability, but his luck is really too bad.
After joining the team, he first tore his cruciate ligament, then tested positive for drugs, and never managed to complete a complete season.
No one knows how he got so lucky that he was noticed by Barcelona.
In this game, Marcos Senna demonstrated his strength well in front of his former club and new club.
Through his tireless running and covering, and his tenacious and persistent interceptions, he became a barrier in Barcelona's midfield, while also curbing Riquelme's performance.
If it weren't for Marcos Senna, Barcelona's weak defense in the first half would have collapsed long ago.
Reina felt a little regretful when he thought of this.
He really hopes that through a victory, Barcelona can see its own strength and return to the Nou Camp.
…
Just as Reina was sighing, Marcos Senna suddenly intercepted the ball and quickly passed it to Xavi.
Xavi passed the ball forward quickly, Su Dong stopped the ball behind Pena, turned around and started quickly.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. When Reina reacted, he saw Su Dong rushing over after the ball, with only Rodriguez lagging behind. This made Reina a little worried.
Can Rodriguez stop Su Dong? What made Reina even more unbelievable was that when Su Dong caught up with the ball, he didn't even think about passing Rodriguez, but just kicked it directly.
The ball was like a supersonic missile, rising rapidly and heading towards the goal at an extremely fast speed.
It was also at this moment that Reina suddenly realized that his position was too forward.
Damn it! Reina didn't have any time to react, not even time to turn around, and he kept backing away.
Su Dong's long shot was very sudden, but his foot strength was very strong and the speed of the ball was also very fast.
When Reina retreated to the front of the small penalty area, he found that the ball was already coming.
At this time, he didn't care about so many things. He just jumped up, stretched his arms as far as possible, and tried to lift the ball out.
Reina's fingertips touched the flying football, but the ball was kicked too hard, and even though it flew such a long distance, Reina's fingers were broken before he could exert any force.
The ball changed direction slightly, but was still falling.
Finally, the ball almost brushed the bottom of the crossbar and fell into Villarreal's goal.
The entire Love Song Stadium was stunned!
More than 20,000 Yellow Submarine fans were dumbfounded!
Isn't this shot too far?
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the 48th minute, Su Dong scored the first goal for Barcelona!"
"Oh my God, this is a super long shot!!!"
After making this shot, Su Dong raised his head and looked forward. He watched the ball pass through Reina's hand and fall into the goal behind him. Then he jumped up excitedly.
“Wuhu!”
Su Dong shouted, turned around and rushed to the sidelines.
The Barcelona players also rushed to catch up, all of them were unbelievable about Su Dong's goal.
But precisely because it is unbelievable, they are even more surprised and surprised.
The players of Villarreal all showed expressions of disbelief and shock.
A goal already? The distance... must be about 50 meters? Many people looked up in the direction of the goal and found that Reina had lost his balance due to jumping back and fell in front of the goal. He was pounding the grass in frustration, obviously ashamed of the loss of the ball.
This felt weird to everyone in Villarreal.
Of course they would not suspect that Reina deliberately let the game go, which was impossible.
I can only say that Barcelona's goalkeeper is really a waste! Needless to say, Valdes, his mistakes have seriously dragged down Barcelona's overall performance this season, and Reina is also unstable, otherwise, why would Barcelona let him leave?
"The statistical results are out!"
"Su Dong's long shot just now was a full fifty-one meters!"
"My God, this is absolutely an amazing long-range shot. It's impossible not to be convinced!"
"In addition, you can take a look at this data. According to our monitoring, the maximum speed of this long-range shot reached 86 kilometers per hour, which is almost close to the speed of a car on the highway."
"Oh my god, let's take a look at Su Dong's long shot in slow motion. It was very decisive and resolute."
"Reina's position was indeed too far outside, and when Barcelona turned defense into offense, he did not react immediately and return to the goal."
"Let's look at this scene. In fact, if Reina had returned to the goal immediately, Su Dong would not have taken a long shot, but would have directly dribbled the ball to Rodriguez. His speed advantage was very obvious, and it would have been difficult for Rodriguez to stop Su Dong."
"Of course, this is just our assumption, but what is certain is that Reina's position was the key factor that led to Su Dong's long-range shot, and he should be responsible for it."
"It's understandable that Reina couldn't block a shot with a top speed of 86 kilometers per hour."
"We can only say that Su Dong's long shot was amazing!"
…
Following Sudong's goal, Villarreal launched a crazy counterattack.
Pellegrini also showed his ruthless character, trying to keep Barcelona at home.
Soon, Jose Mari came on as a substitute.
Even though this Spanish striker has not been as good as before in recent years, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Jose Mari is still quite strong and can pose a threat to Barcelona.
Barcelona's overall form was not good and they appeared very passive on the field.
Rijkaard had no substitutes and could only continue to use the same lineup to fight Villarreal.
Marcos Senna played very steadily in the midfield and became a barrier in front of Barcelona's defense, even forcing Pellegrini to replace Riquelme who performed poorly in the 79th minute.
The Argentine midfielder was so angry that he didn't even say hello to Pellegrini and went straight into the player tunnel.
Marcos Senna froze him for almost the entire race, not giving him a chance to display his talents.
The score of zero to one remained until the end of the game.
Barcelona, playing away from home, defeated Villarreal 1-0 thanks to Sudong's super long-range shot.
…………
…………
Tomahawk missiles bombarded the Love Song Stadium!
After the game, Daily Sports used the front-page headline to report the battle at the Love Song Stadium, believing that it was Su Dong's super long-range shot that saved the sluggish Barcelona and captured the Love Song Stadium.
Despite being the mouthpiece of Barcelona, Daily Sports was not satisfied with Barcelona's performance in this game. It believed that neither in terms of fighting spirit nor the enthusiasm of the players could be compared with Villarreal.
"Barcelona's two magic weapons for victory were the defense of new signing Marcos Senna and the sudden long-range shot by the newly crowned double Footballer of the Year Su Dong."
"Without these two players, Barcelona would have failed at the Estadio Madrigal."
…
Marca also believes that Barcelona’s start to the new year is not satisfactory.
"Except for Sudon and Marcos Senna, Rijkaard's team has completely disappeared!"
Marca felt sorry for Villarreal's loss and believed that they deserved a victory, but unfortunately Sudong stole the three points that should have belonged to them with a wonderful long-range shot.
Marca was very surprised about Marcos Senna.
"He doesn't look like a new player who has just joined the team for nine days. He has almost seamlessly integrated into Barcelona's tactical map. More importantly, he has successfully made Barcelona forget about Davis."
"In fact, his position is further back than Davis, and his pass success rate is higher."
Throughout the game, Marcos Senna only made two passes errors, which was quite outstanding.
…
Mundo Deportivo also reported extensively on Su Dong's world-class goal and Marcos Senna's amazing performance.
Barcelona's mouthpiece even asked why such an excellent player had not been discovered before? But Marcos Senna also has another problem, that is, he has played in European competitions for Villarreal, so he can no longer play in the Champions League for Barcelona this season.
But compared to his transfer fee of 2 million euros, what else do you want?
Mundo Deportivo even said that if there are still such players, Barcelona will want as many as there are.
What a great value!
…
Barcelona coach Rijkaard also specifically praised Sudon and Marcos Senna in the post-match press conference.
It is believed that it was the outstanding performance of these two players that helped Barcelona get the three points.
The Dutch Black Swan mentioned Marcos Senna in particular, saying that the Brazilian midfielder impressed him in both training and his debut, and he believed that Marcos Senna would be a strong addition to Barcelona's midfield.
Villarreal coach Pellegrini expressed regret for the team's defeat, believing that the team should not have let Marcos Senna go, which was a wrong decision.
"But unfortunately, we can't change it."
Not only that, Pellegrini also defended his main goalkeeper Reina, believing that he was good enough and should not be blamed for occasional mistakes, not to mention that he was facing Su Dong.
"In the past two or three years, whether in La Liga, Portugal or even in the Champions League, almost all goalkeepers who faced Su Dongpo would be scored by him. If that's the case, then what's there to blame for Reina's goal?"
Pellegrini said that although Su Dong is only 20 years old, he is already the top scorer in European football.
"What's even scarier is that he's been making progress, which makes people despair!"
