Chapter 457 Sell Su Dong to us!
Su Dong defeated AC Milan!
This was the front-page headline of Gazzetta dello Sport the next morning.
The media from Milan, Italy, began by deeply reflecting on their pre-match remarks.
After the first leg of the match, Gazzetta dello Sport commented, "What a weak Barcelona!"
The Italian media meant that Barcelona is strong in La Liga and powerful when facing weak teams, but when facing Serie A giants such as AC Milan, Barcelona begins to have trouble.
Last season's Champions League final was more like an unexpected accident, and the two-round knockout match allowed AC Milan to completely rely on its strength to win and defeat Barcelona.
Gazzetta dello Sport expressed approval of AC Milan's 0-0 away draw with Barcelona in the first leg, believing that this match was the opposite of last season's final, as Barcelona's defense improved but their offense weakened.
There was a sentence in the report at that time, "The retro trident formed by Ronaldinho, Su Dong and Messi seems sharp, but in Milan's tight defense, they find it difficult to get any chances, especially Su Dong. Nesta completely froze him this time!"
It can be said that after the first leg, the Milan media was quite optimistic about the Rossoneri.
But after the second leg, with the score of 0-2, Barcelona won the away game with Su Dong's two goals. It can be said that it was a wonderful game and greatly vented the resentment of the past period of time.
Gazzetta dello Sport also completely overturned the doubts about Su Dong a week ago, believing that this was a victory for Su Dong, just like in the Champions League final last season, "He played the role of a lone ranger again and saved Barcelona alone!"
Throughout the report, Gazzetta dello Sport was full of praise for Su Dong. In addition to mentioning the two assists from Ronaldinho and Messi, there was more praise for Su Dong.
Whether it was the first goal or the second goal, it showed great skill.
Gazzetta dello Sport believes that these two goals fully demonstrate Su Dong's strength as the double Footballer of the Year for two consecutive years.
"He responded to all the doubts about him with two wonderful goals!"
In another report, Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that AC Milan owner Berlusconi had a conversation with Barcelona president Laporta, who led the team, after the game. Berlusconi said in public in a joking way: "Sell Su Dong to us! Let him play with Kaka and Pirlo, such a game will definitely be very exciting!"
Gazzetta dello Sport regretfully stated that Laporta rejected Berlusconi's proposal in person, saying that Su Dong was not for sale.
But Italian media revealed that Sudon himself does not rule out participating in the Mini World Cup, because this is the highest level professional league in the world. If Berlusconi has this intention, he can sell Shevchenko to Chelsea and raise money to sign Sudon for Barcelona.
"I believe the sensational effect of this transfer will far exceed that of Ronaldo back then!"

Barcelona's mouthpiece, Daily Sports, has a closer relationship with Barcelona and can always get a lot of information that the outside world cannot get.
Even before this game, Barcelona's mouthpiece issued an appeal, "Barcelona needs Su Dong more than ever now."
"Sudon is the key for Barcelona to open the door to the final!"
As it turned out, Sudong scored twice in this crucial decisive battle, helping Barcelona to beat AC Milan 2-0 away and advance to the semi-finals with a total score of 2-0, which made the entire Catalonia region boil.
The Daily Sports highly affirmed Su Dong's role in this game, but at the same time stated that everything he has achieved is inseparable from his efforts over the past period of time.
Barcelona's mouthpiece revealed that in the past period of time, there have been many doubts about Su Dong from the outside world. Although he has not scored in three games, for many people, it seems as long as a season, and even becomes an unforgivable crime. "They put forward extremely harsh demands on Su Dong!"
The Daily Sports revealed that in the past period of time, Su Dong's condition was actually very good, he just lacked some luck and had some psychological problems, but he still worked very hard in training.
"Everyone familiar with Barcelona knows that whether it is Rijkaard, Ten Cate, Puyol, Ronaldinho and others, they have revealed more than once that Su Dong has been training hard and is always ready to play. He has always been the most hardworking player in the team."
"Everyone in the Barcelona dressing room has full confidence in him and is looking forward to his return of goals."
Daily Sports also revealed that at halftime, Barcelona had already decided to adopt more long pass tactics in the second half. This is different from Barcelona's tradition, but it has proved to be a successful tactical play.
"When choosing the long pass counterattack point, Su Dong took the initiative to volunteer and got everyone's support because they all believed that he would succeed!"
The Daily Sports stated that the two goals in the second half were definitely a reflection of Su Dong's value. Although both were wonderful passes from his teammates, Su Dong's handling at the critical moments, especially the first goal, faced with the double-teaming of Nesta and Stam, two of the world's top central defenders, Su Dong relied on his personal ability to create opportunities.
"This is definitely the world's top strength!"

Real Madrid's mouthpiece AS also spoke highly of Barcelona's performance, believing that Su Dong played a major role in helping the team beat the Rossoneri 2-0 away from home after a 0-0 draw in the first leg at home.
The famous Spanish football commentator Rivera wrote in his column in AS that he was at the San Siro Stadium at the time. He saw the stalemate on the field, the embarrassment of Barcelona, and even the fact that AC Milan almost scored several times.
"This is a close hand-to-hand fight!"
"The styles of the two teams are very similar. Barcelona is good at passing and controlling the ball, and so is AC Milan. Barcelona has outstanding passers, and AC Milan also has Pirlo and Seedorf. Barcelona has breakthrough players like Ronaldinho and Messi, and AC Milan also has Kaka."
"Even on the defensive level, AC Milan is better than Barcelona. They have a world-class back line, which Barcelona does not have. Even Barcelona's defense has always been criticized for its weakness."
In terms of style, Barcelona is not pleasing, and tactically Barcelona is also not at an advantage.
Barcelona's 4-3-3 formation is certainly more flexible, with more freedom for the attacking players in the frontcourt, but AC Milan's 4-4-2 small diamond formation is equally good. Even in the midfield, AC Milan's four midfielders have the advantage in numbers, causing Barcelona's three midfielders to have to run more actively, and Ronaldinho and Messi had to retreat more often to support the defense.
This is also reflected in the final players' data. In terms of running distance, the entire Barcelona team is better than AC Milan.
Livonne believes that the players' positive attitude, longer running distance, and more delicate passing and control advantages only allowed Barcelona to gain a slight lead on the field, but AC Milan's excellent defense made it still difficult for Barcelona to score goals.
"Everyone who watched the game on site must have had a very strong feeling that in the second half of the game, especially after 70 minutes, AC Milan's defensive players began to fail to keep up with Barcelona's rhythm, especially Su Dong's rhythm."
"Su Dong's endurance is amazing!"
"One very interesting detail is that both goals came from behind, but before passing the ball behind him, Su Dong had a series of 'contests' with AC Milan's central defenders, Nesta, Stam, Kaladze, who couldn't keep up with Su Dong's rhythm at the end of the game and were left behind again and again."
"From the perspective of the goal alone, everyone would think that Messi and Ronaldinho's assists were beautiful and crucial, but if you watch the game live, you will find that before they passed the ball, Su Dong had already exhausted AC Milan's defenders through constant running and pulling. In the end, they could not keep up with Su Dong, which revealed a fatal flaw."
Livonne said, "This is a great game! Barcelona won the game in a smart way!"
"The key point is that Barcelona has one more Su Dong than AC Milan!"
"If either Inzaghi or Shevchenko could play a similar role to Su Dong on the field, I believe AC Milan would have scored a goal at the beginning of the first half, but unfortunately, AC Milan does not have Su Dong!"

Numerous media outlets reported on the incident and gave rave reviews to both Su Dong and Barcelona.
Especially for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
Scoring twice in a crucial decisive battle, is there anything more eye-catching than this?
Even the famous New York Times in the United States put Su Dong on the front page of the newspaper after the game, with a striking headline: "Su Dong = a real superstar!"
This is the first time in football history! In the subsequent comments, the New York Times not only focused on analyzing the game, introduced how wonderful Su Dong's double goal was and how important it was, but also gave Su Dong a surprising evaluation.
"This humble Chinese man is attracting more and more attention from around the world with his superb football skills. Today, he has become the most influential sports star in the world, and countless fans are addicted to his football."
"In the United States, his influence has surpassed Beckham and is even not inferior to the NBA and baseball superstars. He has become one of the hottest stars. This is incredible!"
The New York Times stated that the fact that a Chinese person could have such amazing influence and market appeal in the United States, which is full of strong teams, just by playing football shows how amazing Su Dong's performance has been in recent years.
"What's even more amazing is that he is only twenty-one years old!"
…
Even the United States, which is known as a football desert, gave such high praise to Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, not to mention other parts of the world.
Especially in Asia, Su Dong's outstanding performance once again triggered fanatical pursuit.
After almost every game, fans across Asia, especially in China, enthusiastically discuss Su Dong's performance.
All these have made him the most influential football star in Asia and even the world.
He is also one of the most influential sports stars.
While the whole world was discussing the game enthusiastically, Sudong, who had returned to Spain with the team, had already put this victory behind him and began to prepare for the next game.
He wants to break the La Liga record in the national derby!
