Chapter 456 The King Returns!
When Su Dong scored for Barcelona, AC Milan responded quickly.
Ancelotti made two substitutions in one go, replacing Stam with Cafu to strengthen the attack on the right, and then replacing Maldini with Serginho to strengthen the attack on the left.
AC Milan's formation is still 4-4-2, and the midfield is still in a small diamond shape, with Kaka rushing forward, Pirlo falling back, Seedorf and Gattuso on both sides. Now using two full-backs with stronger offensive capabilities, it gives people a signal that they are going to launch a crazy counterattack.
And the facts also proved that Ancelotti chose to press forward and attack.
AC Milan took the initiative, while Barcelona continued to advance steadily.
This style of play made the Rossoneri quite depressed.
Because they found that every time they switched from defense to offense, Kaka had to face Barcelona's two defensive lines. Barcelona's players retreated very quickly and the tactics were executed quite well.
What’s worse is that even the match time was on the opposite side of AC Milan, forcing the Rossoneri to give it a try.
But in the 87th minute, after Marcos Senna poked the ball away from Kaka's feet, Iniesta quickly passed it to Ronaldinho.
As soon as the Brazilian superstar got the ball, Gattuso came over and almost knocked Ronaldinho to the ground.
The butcher of the Rossoneri is also anxious!
Ronaldinho quickly stabilized his body, skillfully controlled the ball, turned on the spot, causing Gattuso, who was pressing closely, to accidentally fall to the ground, and Ronaldinho immediately made an extremely accurate over-the-top pass with his right foot, directly lifting the ball into AC Milan's penalty area.
Almost at the same time, Su Dong quickly moved forward from the middle area between Nesta and Kaladze, went straight behind Nesta, used his body to block Kaladze in the penalty area, and after the ball bounced off the ground, he volleyed the ball directly with his left foot.
The shot was powerful and violent, and it went straight into the goal guarded by Dida.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
“Two to zero!”
"Su Dong scored twice!"
After Su Dong scored a goal, he quickly rushed to the sidelines, opened his arms towards the fans in the stands and the live TV camera, and appeared extremely confident.
Barcelona players rushed over from behind one after another and hugged him tightly.
"Ronaldinho's pass was very imaginative, but Su Dong's handling was also quite beautiful!"
"We saw that AC Milan's defense was too close, which gave Su Dong room to play his explosive power. Ronaldinho's pass was so sudden that Nesta didn't even have time to react."
"From the slow motion footage, we can see that Su Dong's physical confrontation ability is too strong. Karaze was even pushed away directly. There was no way to stop Su Dong at all."
“Two to zero!”
"The situation is basically settled now!"
"After five rounds of goal drought, Su Dong staged a comeback!"
"He used his two goals to declare his strength and value to everyone, and also told everyone that he is an unstoppable god of war!"
…………
…………
When Su Dong scored the second goal in the penalty area, Rijkaard was completely relieved.
Winner!
The Dutch black swan roared excitedly, venting its inner excitement, while also secretly rejoicing.
Fortunately, during the half-time break, he chose Su Dong in the locker room, and Su Dong rewarded him with two goals.
"It's amazing!" Rijkaard is still in shock, "Su Dong is amazing!"
Black Swan is now at a loss for words and doesn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. He is even still in a daze and can hardly believe that all this is true.
Ten Carter was equally excited.
Needless to say, Su Dong was definitely the best player he had ever coached. Ronaldinho was also good and full of imagination, but this Brazilian genius had a serious problem.
"Frank, after I leave, you must strengthen the control over several Brazilian players in the team. I am not worried about Su Dong at all. I believe in his professionalism and self-discipline, but Ronaldinho is like a double-edged sword. If used well, like just now, but if used poorly, he will hurt himself in return."
Tencart reminded earnestly.
Rijkaard quickly came to his senses from his ecstasy and looked deeply at Ten Cate, "Have you decided?"
"Yeah." Tenkat nodded. "You know, I was very hesitant as early as 2003. At that time, many teams extended olive branches to me and invited me to coach, but I still decided to come to Barcelona. For us Dutch football coaches, this place is like a holy land."
Michels, Cruyff and Van Gaal, the three greatest and most successful head coaches in the history of Dutch football, all coached in Barcelona. It can be said that Barcelona has the blood of Dutch football flowing in its bones.
So, when Rijkaard invited him to Barcelona, it was almost difficult for him to refuse.
During his three years at Barcelona, he received many invitations, but he rejected them all.
But this time, he couldn't refuse anymore.
Because it was Ajax that extended an olive branch to him.
"You...don't want to consider it again?" Rijkaard was a little reluctant.
Ten Carter smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "This is a very rare opportunity, I don't want to miss it."
Rijkaard knew very well that he had no way to force Ten Cate to stay.
During his time as Barcelona coach, Ten Cate and Rijkaard had conflicts, but both were able to manage their differences.
In terms of technical and tactical aspects, Ten Cate is Rijkaard's best advisor, but in terms of management, Ten Cate is the most important person in Barcelona's coaching staff. Without him, Rijkaard would not do such a good job in managing the locker room, and would not handle the problems with the management so properly.
But people always have to look forward. With the opportunity to coach a top team like Ajax independently, how could Rijkaard stop Ten Cate? "Don't worry, I will do my best to help you and the team this season. I am very confident that I can leave with good memories." Ten Cate smiled.
Rijkaard nodded, feeling somewhat worried.
Ten Cate had told him before that he was considering Ajax's invitation, and now he has further determined his future, which is to give Rijkaard enough time to find his next assistant.
But who can do Ten Carter's job? …………
…………
The referee finally blew the whistle to end the game.
Barcelona defeated AC Milan 2-0 away from home thanks to Su Dong's two goals and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
When the final whistle sounded, the San Siro Stadium was filled with sadness.
Su Dong and his teammates celebrated their victory and advancement on the field. His teammates also congratulated Su Dong and congratulated him on finally breaking his goal drought.
This is actually very strange, because Su Dong has only not scored a goal in three rounds, but it feels like a very long time.
Maybe that's human nature.
Before Su Dong, everyone was used to forwards scoring more than 20 goals in a season. It was common for them to not score for five consecutive rounds. If they didn't score for seven or eight rounds, would they have the nerve to say that they were in a goal drought?
But Su Dong is obviously different.
From 35 goals for Valencia, to 37 goals last season, to 38 goals this season, Su Dong has been climbing up a step almost every year. He has made everyone accustomed to having expectations of him, expecting him to score goals every time he takes the court.
So, gradually, I don’t know when it started, people got used to Su Dong scoring in every game, and not scoring was news.
When Su Dong failed to score for three consecutive rounds, no one was used to it, and it became big news.
If this happened to other players, would they have the nerve to say it was a goal drought if they didn't score in three rounds?
Is this a joke? But this is Su Dong!
…
Kaka walked towards Su Dong and stretched out his hand to him from a distance.
Su Dong shook hands with him and then hugged him.
"Before the game, we were worried that you would score a goal, but unexpectedly, you scored two at once." Kaka was quite helpless.
Su Dong smiled and praised Kaka.
The Brazilian players did perform very well and in a very distinctive way. They were extremely capable of taking the ball and breaking through the middle, which can be said to be a very important offensive means on the tactical level.
Ronaldinho saw Kaka coming over. The two have a very good relationship and are also comrades-in-arms who will compete in the World Cup in Germany this summer. In addition, Ronaldinho was in a particularly good mood after Barcelona defeated AC Milan to advance.
Although the biggest contributor was Su Dong who scored twice, Ronaldinho's fatal pass from behind was also the key to winning the game, so the Brazilian superstar was grinning from ear to ear throughout the whole process.
After losing the game, Maldini, Nesta, Pirlo and others had no intention of staying on the court. When they passed by, they greeted Su Dong and Ronaldinho and went straight into the player tunnel.
The stadium was full of AC Milan fans. Only in a very remote corner were there more than a thousand Barcelona fans who followed the team. They made the biggest noise of the whole stadium.
Puyol also led the entire team to the area where the visiting fans were to express his gratitude to them.
These fans were shouting Su Dong's name throughout the whole process, and Su Dong also walked up to them and waved to them.
“Triple Crown!”
I don’t know who shouted first, but then more and more fans followed suit, and in the end they were all shouting.
Obviously, Barcelona fans are looking forward to the team's continued success.
The biggest suspense in La Liga is not who will win the championship, nor whether Su Dong can break the historical record of thirty-eight goals, but how many goals Su Dong can raise the single-season record to?
Having reached the final of the Copa del Rey and the semi-finals of the Champions League, it can be said that Barcelona has made great progress on all three fronts this season, with very ideal results, and is only one step away from the goal of winning the treble.
The fans' cheers at this time made the players on the field feel a sense of power and responsibility.
Wearing the Barcelona jersey, they fight on the football field carrying the expectations of thousands of Barcelona fans.
After defeating the powerful opponent AC Milan, the confidence of Barcelona has been unprecedentedly boosted.
The Triple Crown is not impossible to achieve!
