Chapter 380 Fortunately we still have Su Dong!
Seeing Iniesta come on as a substitute, Su Dong took the initiative to greet him.
"Hey, Andres."
Su Dong raised his hands, high-fived Iniesta, and then hugged him.
Iniesta knew he had something to say, so he turned around and stood next to Su Dong with his back to the Chelsea players.
"They were keeping a close eye on me. Carvalho and Terry were all around me, and Makelele was nearby too. Damn it! Mourinho threw his reputation out of the window just to get through. He used eight or even nine players to defend the game, setting up a defensive formation."
Su Dong felt this the most deeply. Once he reached the 30-meter area, he was surrounded by people wearing Chelsea's white away jerseys everywhere. It was really depressing.
"What do you want me to do?" Iniesta asked with concern.
"Stay closer to me. If necessary, we can play small cooperation, just like indoor football." Su Dong said.
The indoor football field is very small, but Sudong, Iniesta and Messi play it often and are very good at it, so they are very good at cooperating in such a small field and have a tacit understanding with each other.
Iniesta nodded knowingly.
…
The game starts again.
Barcelona's repeated attacks forced Chelsea to retreat to a 30-meter area.
With nine players defending, Chelsea couldn't organize an effective attack at all. The transition between offense and defense was paralyzed, and even the defense was a little exhausted.
After Iniesta came on as a substitute for Giuly, everyone could see that Rijkaard still wanted to gamble on Su Dong.
Giuly is better at attacking and scoring, but Iniesta is better at passing and dribbling, but his speed is not fast. More importantly, everyone knows that Iniesta is the most tacit assist provider next to Su Dong.
Replacing the attacking Giuly with the better assist-capable Iniesta at this time is enough to explain everything. Rijkaard still relies on Su Dong at the critical moment.
But the offense on the field still leans to the left.
Ronaldinho dribbled the ball away from Ferreira on the left and made a lob pass.
It is unclear whether this pass was a pass or a shot.
If it was a pass, it was too close to the goal, but if it was a shot, it was too weak.
More importantly, there was no one to receive the ball at the right post. Who should he pass it to? Ronaldinho shook his head helplessly. Obviously, he didn't understand why he suddenly kicked the ball there. It seemed more like a product of a hot-headed move.
Mourinho seemed very nervous and kept shouting at Chelsea players on the sidelines, signaling them to stay calm.
Especially Carvalho and Terry, they followed Su Dong closely.
The task Mourinho gave them was very clear, the two of them worked together to freeze Su Dong.
Two minutes later, Su Dong got a chance.
After a straight pass from Deco, Su Dong stopped the ball with his back and turned to the left, but Carvalho blocked it in time, causing Su Dong to shoot hastily but without enough power, and the ball was directly caught by Cech.
Chelsea quickly launched a counterattack and kicked the ball directly to the front court.
Taking advantage of this goal kick opportunity, Chelsea also took the chance to push the defense line forward, easing the tense situation under Barcelona since the start of the second half, and also letting the defenders breathe a sigh of relief.
Chelsea tried to organize a counterattack in the frontcourt, but unfortunately, they were unable to commit their manpower and the ball was quickly intercepted by Barcelona.
After intercepting the ball, Barcelona quickly passed it to Deco, who made a diagonal pass to the left.
When Ronaldinho got the ball, Chelsea's midfield and backcourt defense had returned to the 30-meter area. Ferreira stood in front of Ronaldinho, forcing the Brazilian player to go to the outside.
The Brazilian superstar did not go outside, but dribbled the ball straight to Ferreira, forcing Chelsea's defense to retreat again and again.
At the same time, left-back Van Bronckhorst also quickly moved forward, but was still a little distance away from Ronaldinho.
Su Dong also kept retreating along with Chelsea's defense line, but he stood in the top area, near the penalty area line, and no longer pushed forward.
Pushing Chelsea's defence too close to the goal is not a good thing.
As long as it is within range, Su Dong needs more space.
After getting in position, he saw that Ronaldinho still showed no sign of going to the outside line, so he immediately leaned to the left and raised his left hand to ask for the ball.
Ronaldinho saw Su Dong raising his left hand, and without hesitation, he passed the ball diagonally between Ferreira and Makelele to the top of the arc, and it just landed on Su Dong's left foot.
His passes are always so accurate.
Before Su Dong received the ball, Terry behind him had already rushed up to stop him from turning around.
The ball seemed to be stuck to Su Dong's left foot and stopped there obediently. Su Dong took a small step and turned around, with his left foot just protecting the ball and Terry.
This put Terry in a difficult position, but he still stood between Su Dong and the goal.
In this situation, even if Su Dong managed to take a shot, it would not pose any threat.
This is how Terry and Carvalho stopped Su Dong in this game.
But after Su Dong turned around, he did not kick the ball directly, but instead pushed the ball horizontally to the right with his right foot.
The ball was passed to the right almost along the penalty area line.
Xavi was at the front right of the arc, but he was a bit far away from the ball and couldn't catch up.
Instead, Iniesta arrived on the right side of the arc.
Gallas had returned to the penalty area and when he saw Iniesta was about to stop the ball, he quickly moved over.
Unexpectedly, Iniesta didn't let the ball stay under his feet at all, and directly pushed Su Dong's pass back with the inside of his foot.
After passing the ball, Su Dong took advantage of the fact that all the defensive players' attention was instinctively directed towards the football and he quickly ran sideways to the right.
Carvalho was the first to react and quickly stepped forward to block Su Dong.
However, the Portuguese defender's physical strength was not at the same level as Su Dong, and he could not stop Su Dong at all.
Facing Iniesta's push, Su Dong blocked Carvalho with his body on the right side of the arc, and then swung his right foot to shoot.
All the processes happen in the blink of an eye.
At that time, there was chaos inside and outside the entire penalty area, and the ball was passed back and forth between Su Dong and Iniesta without any pause.
It was not until Su Dong made this powerful shot that all the fans at the scene exclaimed.
I have to say that Iniesta is too familiar with Su Dong's characteristics, just like Su Dong is familiar with him. The two of them passed the ball to each other just right. Su Dong didn't need to adjust at all and directly hit a powerful Batistuta GOL!
This is Su Dong’s famous skill!
"Su Dong shoots directly!!!"
“The ball goes in!!!!”
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the 69th minute, in the 69th minute, Barcelona equalized the score again!"
“One to one!”
"This is the second time Barcelona has equalised in two rounds."
"The last time was at Stamford Bridge, Su Dong was the main contributor to Barcelona's equalizer in that game, and tonight, it's Su Dong again!"
After scoring the goal, Su Dong was so excited that he quickly rushed out of the stadium.
The entire Camp Nou stadium was filled with the cheers of one hundred thousand fans, all shouting Su Dong's name in unison.
Su Dong ran around the field wildly, and the fans in the stands were also venting their inner surprise and excitement.
No one expected that Barcelona would equalize the score again.
"Let's look at the goal."
"Sudon and Iniesta have such a good rapport."
"There were Chelsea defenders all around, but the two players cooperated very cleverly in the small area at the top of the penalty area. Whether it was Su Dong's pass to Iniesta or Iniesta's assist to Su Dong, they were just right."
"Su Dong doesn't even need to adjust, he just kicks and shoots!"
“So beautiful!”
“It’s really quite exciting!”
"We saw that Barcelona, led by Su Dong, once again reversed the aggregate score."
"The score is now 4-4, but Barcelona is currently leading with three away goals."
"There are still 20 minutes left in the game. The biggest challenge for Chelsea will no longer be their defense, but their offense."
"But judging from the current data, Chelsea's possession rate was only 32% throughout the game, while Barcelona had 68%. In terms of shots, Barcelona had 31 shots, most of which were long shots and none of them were on target, but Chelsea only had two shots. The gap between the two sides is very large."
"Mourinho's team, with the clever cooperation of Barcelona players, has found a crack in its iron wall."
“I have to say, this is really a wonderful match!”
Su Dong finally hugged his teammates on the sidelines.
This feeling of rebirth from the dead is more touching than any words.
Especially for Barcelona, after the 3-3 draw in the first leg, they all thought the team had a sure win, but who could have thought that Mourinho would create such a dangerous situation at Camp Nou.
Fortunately, we still have Sotong!
…
"Fortunately, we still have Su Dong!"
Rijkaard almost cried and could only shake his head to hide the excitement of being resurrected from the dead.
"You know what? I used to not believe in the existence of a so-called savior, but at this moment, I really feel that Su Dong is so great. He gives me the feeling of... like..."
Rijkaard thought for two or three seconds before he suddenly thought of how to describe it, "...like Ultraman!"
"Ultraman?" Ten Carter obviously had no idea what this was.
Rijkaard was in no mood to slowly explain to him what Ultraman was, because at this moment, his heart was filled with ecstasy, and he swore that he never wanted to experience such a scene again.
Because his heart really couldn't take it anymore.
If he was desperate before Su Dong scored, then he was as happy as ever at this moment.
He couldn't describe it in any words, he could only say, this was so fucking exciting! An unforgettable excitement!
But no one will want to try it next time.
Because no one knows when something might go wrong.
“After reaching the semi-finals, I will definitely play more conservatively!”
