Chapter 428 The Chosen Son
After leading 3-0 in the first half, the game had completely lost its suspense.
During the half-time break, Rijkaard did not even make any adjustments. He just encouraged the team to maintain the momentum of the first half and gave special praise to Su Dong for his hat trick.
This is also Rijkaard's consistent style, and his on-the-spot command has always been like this.
Of course, the team was leading 3-0 and morale was high in the first half, so there was really no need to make adjustments.
But after Su Dong performed a hat trick, he consciously began to adjust his tactical role in the second half. He no longer pursued goals, but instead created more opportunities for his teammates around him.
In the 59th minute, Barcelona launched a quick counterattack and Ronaldinho ran a long distance with the ball.
From beginning to end, the Brazilian showed his outstanding personal ability, but after entering Real Madrid's 30-meter area, it was always Su Dong who led the defensive players away for him. This allowed Ronaldinho to break into the penalty area, replace Ramos one-on-one, and shoot with his right foot.
Ronaldinho also knew it well, so after scoring the goal, he was the first to rush towards Su Dong to celebrate.
Afterwards, Su Dong moved to the right again, received a direct pass from Messi, forced his way through Elguera, and passed the ball across to the front of the goal, creating an excellent opportunity for Ronaldinho, but unfortunately, the Brazilian player was a step slower and was blocked by Ramos.
Su Dong also created several chances for Messi, but none of them resulted in a goal.
Instead, Ronaldinho scored another goal with his personal ability.
In the end, the score was locked at five to zero!
Barcelona beat Real Madrid 5-0 at the Bernabeu Stadium and won an epic victory! …
When the final whistle of the game sounded, there was warm applause again from the stands of the Bernabeu Stadium.
But soon, the applause turned into boos.
The shouts of "fire" were clearly heard from the crowd, not only demanding the resignation of Luxemburgo, but also demanding the resignation of Real Madrid president Florentino. It was obvious that Real Madrid fans were very dissatisfied with the team's current situation and believed that they should be held responsible for it.
Real Madrid president Florentino, who was sitting in the stands, had a grim face, but he kept sitting in the stands, silently enduring the boos from Real Madrid fans, and obviously had no intention of escaping.
The last time they were beaten 5-0 by Barcelona at home in a national derby was when Cruyff played for the Barcelona team in the distant past. Although they also lost 0-5 in the first national derby last season, that was at the Nou Camp.
But this time, the tragedy happened at the Bernabeu!
Almost all Real Madrid fans are very dissatisfied with the team's performance, and booing is their way of venting their inner dissatisfaction.
They even want to overthrow Florentino's rule.
The reason is very simple. Since Florentino is unable to change the current situation of Real Madrid, he should step down and let someone capable take over.

After the game, Real Madrid's mouthpiece AS was the first to publish a review of the game, criticizing Luxemburg's tactics as too poor.
"In such a strong dialogue, he tried to contain Barcelona with defensive tactics, but handed over the ball to Barcelona. Real Madrid's possession of the ball was only a little over 30% in the whole game, only half of Barcelona's."
AS believes that it was Luxemburg's conservatism that caused Real Madrid to lose possession of the ball and allowed Barcelona to play more smoothly.
"Compared to Luxemburg's conservativeness, Rijkaard's lineup was bolder. He even let Messi, who was only 18 years old, start in such an important derby and let Giuly sit on the bench."
AS believes that compared to Real Madrid, Barcelona came to the Bernabeu with the belief and determination to win. Each of them is firmly implementing the team's tactics and working hard to create more opportunities for themselves and their teammates, which is what Real Madrid does not have now.
"Real Madrid was completely crushed on the field, especially Su Dong's three goals in the first half, which completely undermined the team's determination to resist and made the Real Madrid players completely lose their fighting spirit, leading to them conceding two goals in the second half."
Finally, AS stated that after the national derby once again ended with a big score of 0-5, there is no suspense about who will win the La Liga championship. Barcelona will win the final championship and it will be difficult for Real Madrid to reverse the situation.
"Su Dong played a great game in front of Ronaldo, Zidane, Raul, Beckham and other world superstars, proving that he is the best player in the world. With such performance, he will surely win the double Footballer of the Year award again!"
…
The Catalan media close to Barcelona all believed that Barcelona gave Real Madrid a vivid lesson away from home.
Mundo Deportivo said that the national derby may seem like just a game, but there are many problems reflected behind the game.
For example, this 5-0 victory reflects Barcelona's rapid improvement in the past two years, especially after Sudong joined the team. Barcelona has spared no effort in shaping a front-line offensive group with Sudong as the core. Now, Barcelona has finally found the best and strongest attacking combination, which is Ronaldinho, Sudong and Messi.
Barcelona's mouthpiece believes that Sudong is on the way to the peak of his career and he has not yet reached his golden age, but at the Bernabeu, all the superstars of Real Madrid combined do not perform as well as Sudong.
"If other Barcelona players had a better ability to seize opportunities, it would have been entirely possible for Barcelona to score eight goals or even more in this game, because Su Dong created so many opportunities."
Mundo Deportivo believes that what Barcelona did better than Real Madrid in this game was their overall performance.
This Barcelona mouthpiece also used Su Dong as an example, listing the many opportunities Su Dong created for Messi and Ronaldinho in the game respectively, and believed that Su Dong well interpreted the performance and characteristics that a frontcourt offensive core player should have.
"When Ronaldinho scored the first goal, the Brazilian was the first to run towards Sudon to celebrate because he knew that it was Sudon who pulled the defenders away for him. The same was true for Messi, who missed several chances created by Sudon during the game."
The Daily Sports believes that one of the important reasons why Rijkaard dared to put the 18-year-old Messi in the starting lineup is Su Dong. He believes that Su Dong can help Messi demonstrate his strength well.
"It turns out that Rijkaard guessed right!"
…
In addition to the powerful media camps of Real Madrid and Barcelona, major media in Europe and around the world are also paying attention to this game.
Even the most picky media reporters praised Su Dong's performance and even described it as perfect.
As for the Real Madrid superstars, media all over the world have criticized them for their lack of cohesion.
"Thirty years ago, Cruyff led Barcelona to a 5-0 win over Real Madrid at the Bernabeu. That was the most humiliating defeat in the history of the Bernabeu. Now, thirty years later, Su Dong led Barcelona to another 5-0 win over Real Madrid away from home. He even won warm applause from the Bernabeu."
"With this game, Su Dong is worthy of being listed among the Barcelona legends!"

After defeating Real Madrid, Barcelona did not stop to rest, but went straight back to their home court to face Werder Bremen of the Bundesliga. This was the fifth round of the Champions League group stage.
Barcelona won all the first four rounds, which allowed the team to qualify for the group stage in advance. They played more relaxed in this home game and did not even have much pressure on the results, but because of this, they played even better.
What was surprising was that Su Dong, who was thought to not start before the game, suddenly started in this game.
Not only that, just one minute into the game, Ronaldinho took the ball from the left rib and passed it into the penalty area. Su Dong quickly followed up and took the lead in shooting, passing the ball over Bremen goalkeeper Reinke and slowly into the goal behind him.
One to zero!
Su Dong scored the first goal for Barcelona!
This goal also seemed to open the door to goals for Barcelona.
In the 14th minute, Werder Bremen's attack was intercepted by Marcos Senna just after crossing the center line and the ball was quickly passed to Xavi.
Xavi made a long pass and quickly passed the ball behind Werder Bremen.
Su Dong quickly inserted himself into the back, before anyone else, he unloaded the ball from mid-air with his right foot, dribbled into the penalty area, faced goalkeeper Reinke, and shot with his left foot, scoring another goal, 2-0! In the 26th minute, the Werder Bremen defender fouled Su Dong, and Ronaldinho took the free kick and hit it accurately, 3-0! In the 38th minute, Ronaldinho made another cross from the left, and Su Dong headed the ball in the penalty area. Although goalkeeper Reinke touched the ball, he was still unable to stop the ball from entering the net, 4-0! Hat trick!
Before the end of the first half, Su Dong took the initiative to pull out the defender for Messi, allowing the Argentine to dribble into the penalty area and calmly shoot the ball into the goal, 5-0! Five goals in the first half!
Barcelona once again launched an offensive storm! The entire Camp Nou stadium was shouting the names of Su Dong, Ronaldinho and Messi crazily, and everyone was fascinated by Barcelona's offensive football.
Even two unknown mysterious guests hidden among the fans in the stands were so engrossed in the show.
"Great! Barcelona's trident is incredible!"
"Who says it's not? Su Dong's all-roundness, Ronaldinho's imagination, and Messi's breakthrough with the ball, who can defend against such an attacking combination? This is definitely a lineup configuration that can open up a peak dynasty!"
Amid the bustling crowd, the two chatted back and forth.
This was their first time watching Su Dong play at Camp Nou, but they were left with an extremely deep impression.
In particular, the love shown by the fans at the scene for Su Dong made them feel that Su Dong was the chosen one of Barcelona and was destined to become a historical legend of Barcelona.
"For such a strong team, who can be their opponent in the next few years?"
Looking at the European football scene, perhaps only Juventus and AC Milan from Serie A, and Chelsea from the Premier League can compete with this Dream Team II.
Even these teams were inevitably at a disadvantage.
Especially when meeting Su Dong who is in such excellent form.
"Let's go, there's no need to watch the second half, we should get to work!"
