Chapter 459 Goal Frenzy
At Camp Nou, Barcelona finally defeated Real Madrid 4-1.
Ronaldinho scored a goal in the second half, while Ronaldo saved face for Real Madrid with a clever run.
Although it was a complete victory, it is not worth being happy about for Barcelona, which has basically won the championship in advance.
Sudon, Messi and Ronaldinho were all substituted after playing for only sixty to seventy minutes because Barcelona will go to the Bernabeu for the King's Cup final in the middle of the week.
…………
…………
On the evening of April 12th, at the Bernabeu Stadium.
In the King's Cup final, Barcelona faced Espanyol.
This is the second time in the history of the King's Cup that the Barcelona derby will be staged in the King's Cup final.
The last time was fifty years ago, when Barcelona defeated Espanyol 1-0 in the seventh Copa del Rey final and won the fourth Copa del Rey title in the club's history.
Since then, both teams have reached the Copa del Rey final but have never met again.
Now, after half a century, the two teams met again in the King's Cup final, which naturally caused a sensation in the entire city of Barcelona, especially considering that the venue of the final was arranged at the Bernabeu Stadium, which made it even more memorable.
…
Although both sides shouted loud slogans before the game, when the game really started, the Spaniards still played very pragmatically.
In terms of strength, they are far inferior to Barcelona. In terms of form, Su Dong scored five goals in two games and was unrivaled.
Therefore, the Spaniards defended tightly after the opening.
But the Spanish defense only lasted for fifteen minutes.
In the 15th minute, Messi and Iniesta crossed positions on the right and formed a beautiful cooperation. Iniesta made a diagonal pass into the penalty area. Su Dong deliberately missed the ball and let it fall to the left side of the goal.
Ronaldinho understood what he meant and rushed over, easily pushing the ball into the goal, making it one to zero!
This goal also completely ignited Barcelona's offensive momentum.
In the 40th minute, Deco intercepted the ball in the midfield and made a long pass to Ronaldinho.
The Brazilian dribbled the ball straight to the left side of the penalty area, attracted the attention of the defense, and then passed the ball behind him.
Su Dong quickly moved forward, received the ball and shot with his left foot to score, 2-0!
Just when everyone thought that the first half would end with this score, Barcelona launched another attack.
Belletti quickly made a run on the right, received the ball from Iniesta, moved forward to the right side of the penalty area and sent a cross.
In the penalty area, Su Dong jumped high, overpowering the Spanish defender, and headed the ball into the Spanish goal again.
Three to zero! Another double goal!
All the Barcelona fans who came to the Bernabeu Stadium were so happy! Su Dong hadn't scored in the previous three rounds, and everyone thought he would take a break. Unexpectedly, after only three games, he had such a wave of goals. This was really surprising! ...
Entering the half-time break with a score of 3-0, Barcelona basically continued their excellent performance in the first half after the change of sides in the second half, continuing to pursue the Espanyol relentlessly without showing any mercy.
But it was not until the 76th minute that Deco made a long pass after another interception in the backcourt, accurately passing it behind the Spanish defense. Su Dong made a run in with his speed, successfully beat the offside, stopped the ball and dribbled into the penalty area to get a single shot, and then shot into the goal again, 4-0! Hat trick!
The entire Bernabeu Stadium was boiling! All the Barcelona fans were shouting Su Dong's name at the top of their lungs, cheering for him!
Scoring eight goals in three games, Su Dong's scoring momentum is simply unstoppable! Who could have believed that he could score so many goals this season? When Su Dong was replaced by Larsson by Rijkaard, not only did all the Barcelona fans stand up and applaud Su Dong, but even many neutral fans, even Espanyol fans, stood up and applauded Su Dong.
Who can stop Su Dong who is in such excellent goal-scoring form?
…
At the Bernabeu, Barcelona defeated Espanyol 4-0 thanks to Sudon's hat-trick and won the King's Cup.
At the post-match press conference, Rijkaard specifically praised Su Dong's performance, believing that he deserved the best player in the final. He also believed that Su Dong's recent form was a guarantee for Barcelona to continue winning.
After the end of the Champions League quarter-finals, UEFA drew the semi-finals. Barcelona's opponent was Arsenal from the Premier League, and the other match was between Villarreal and Chelsea from La Liga.
Two La Liga teams against two Premier League teams, such a semi-final distribution has caused heated discussions in European football.
After all, it is somewhat surprising that an Serie A team would miss the Champions League semi-finals, which is somewhat inconsistent with the mini World Cup.
The real surprise was Villarreal.
The team led by Chilean engineer Pellegrini has performed well in La Liga this season and has been even more impressive in the Champions League. Players such as Riquelme and Diego Forlan have also put in excellent performances in the Yellow Submarine, proving their strength to everyone again.
The whole of Spain is looking forward to it. If Barcelona can beat Arsenal and Villarreal can beat Chelsea, the La Liga teams will meet in the Champions League final. This will be another victory for the La Liga teams after the Champions League final in 2000.
But Premier League fans are also looking forward to the two Premier League giants meeting in the final.
However, before the Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona will first face Villarreal at Camp Nou.
This was also jokingly called a preview of the Champions League final by the Spanish media.
After all, the probability of a team that can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League advancing to the final is almost the same.
…………
…………
This weekend, in the 33rd round of La Liga, Barcelona will face Villarreal at home.
When the game reached the tenth minute, Barcelona launched an attack on the left. Ronaldinho retreated to receive the ball from his teammate, turned around and sent a straight pass behind him.
Su Dong quickly moved forward and caught up with Ronaldinho's pass in the left corner outside the penalty area.
As soon as the ball stopped, Peña came up closely and stared at Su Dong.
Su Dong dribbled the ball skillfully and approached Peña step by step.
Just when the Villarreal defenders had nowhere to retreat, Su Dong suddenly started, first with a fake move to confuse the opponent, then he dribbled the ball inside, shook off Peña, took a step sideways in front of the penalty area, and quickly kicked a curve ball with his right foot.
The ball made a beautiful arc and turned into the goal guarded by goalkeeper Barbosa, making the score one to zero!
…
After Su Dong scored the first goal, the two teams attacked and defended each other.
Villarreal, like its city team Valencia, has a deep imprint of South American football. However, unlike the defensive style created by Ranieri and Cooper, Villarreal is more inclined to the passion of South America, which makes the Yellow Submarine not play conservatively no matter which team it meets.
This season, under the coaching of Pellegrini, and with the presence of South American players such as Riquelme, Forlan and Sorin, Villarreal is full of the charm of South American football. Even when facing the powerful Barcelona, even at the Camp Nou, even if they were one goal behind after ten minutes of the game, the Yellow Submarine still resolutely confronted Barcelona.
Villarreal is able to reach the Champions League semi-finals, it is not just a reckless team, their defense is also very well organized.
This resulted in them being in a stalemate for a long time when facing Barcelona.
Not only did neither side fail to create any chances, but they were also not much behind in terms of ball possession.
This can be said to be very surprising.
It was not until the second half, after the two sides changed sides, in the 47th minute, that Iniesta made a straight pass to Su Dong in the penalty area.
At this time, Su Dong leaned his body against the opponent's central defender Gongalo. After stopping the ball with his back, he suddenly turned to the right, dribbled the ball through the opponent, and while dragging the opponent to the front of the small penalty area, he shot directly with his right foot and made a low shot.
Goalkeeper Barbosa fell to the ground to save the ball, but the ball still went between him and the post and into Villarreal's goal.
2-0! Double goal!
…
The moment Su Dong scored, the entire Camp Nou stadium was boiling! No one expected that Su Dong's goal-scoring state would be so fierce that he scored more than two goals in four consecutive games.
Four games, two braces, two hat tricks, is there any performance crazier than this?
With these two goals in the 33rd round, Su Dong's total number of goals in the La Liga this season has reached 43, which is a number that makes many opponents despair!
“I believe that this will be an insurmountable peak for many years!”
"Because in the nearly 80 years of La Liga history, no one has ever scored more than 40 goals, even when there were 22 teams participating in La Liga. Now, Su Dong has not only broken this historical record that has never been broken in the past 80 years, but has even raised the record to 43 goals."
"Unbelievable! We are seeing a crazy goal-scoring machine!"
"You know, La Liga has only played 33 rounds so far, and there are still five rounds of matches to go. We even have reason to believe that Su Dong is likely to achieve even higher achievements, such as the almost impossible 50 goals!"
"I really have the urge to kneel down to him now!"
…
As the team had to play against Arsenal in the middle of the week, Su Dong only played for 60 minutes after scoring twice before being replaced by Larsson.
Villarreal launched a counterattack in the closing stages and almost broke through Barcelona's goal several times.
This is mainly because the Yellow Submarine is currently only ranked eighth in the league, ten points away from Osasuna, which is fourth in the league. It seems very far away, but there is still a chance. More importantly, they still want to impact the European war zone.
If we can't play in the Champions League, we can play in the UEFA Cup.
However, Barcelona did not let their opponents succeed in the end.
After last season's poor performance, Barcelona's defense has improved significantly, especially Oleguer's change to right back, which is obviously much more reliable than playing as a center back.
In the end, Barcelona defeated Villarreal 2-0 with two goals from Sudon and won three points again.
In this round, Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Getafe away from home, and Barcelona firmly grasped the La Liga championship in advance.
Together with the Copa del Rey they won earlier, Barcelona is only one Champions League away from its goal of winning the treble.
