Chapter 488 He must go!
Su Dong sued Barcelona and submitted a written transfer application. These two events spread throughout the Spanish football world in a very short period of time.
The outside world was extremely shocked by Su Dong's actions.
It was unheard of for a superstar like him to go to court with the club, but it was also very understandable.
Anyone who experiences what happened to Su Dong will never let it go.
Even many players support Su Dong, because no one wants the same thing to happen to themselves.
Who doesn't have some "little secrets" in their contract that they don't want the outside world to know? In Catalonia, most Barcelona fans remain silent, but more and more fans are beginning to oppose Su Dong, who thinks that Su Dong is taking a big risk by taking Barcelona to court.
The Daily Sports published a comment, criticizing Su Dong's behavior, believing that at this moment, what he should do is to repair his relationship with the club and fans as soon as possible, especially the fans. He should regain the fans' recognition as soon as possible instead of adding fuel to the fire.
Mundo Deportivo also commented that Su Dong's move would not help change the situation.
The reporter from Le Monde believes that in today's European football, which team can afford such a high transfer fee for Su Dong? "The answer is no! No matter how powerful the team is, it can't afford the 200 million euro transfer fee!"
The fans' reaction was even more intense.
More and more people demonstrated at the gate of Su Dong's villa. There was even one incident where someone threw bricks into the wall of Su Dong's villa. Although no one was injured, Su Dong immediately called the police.
But there was nothing to be done, when the police arrived, the demonstrators ran away, and the police were also Barcelona fans, so they were happy to turn a blind eye.
"It's not a good idea to be harassed by them like this all day long. You should think about how to appease these fans and admit your mistakes. Then they might forgive you." The policeman who arrived advised earnestly.
Su Dong shook his head and asked, "Where did I go wrong?"
The police were immediately speechless.
Su Dong didn't bother to talk to him, just waved his hand, closed the door and went back.
Since he did nothing wrong, why should he admit it? How many people asked him to admit his mistakes and fight to get back to the national team, but did he admit it? He would not admit it before, and now, when faced with such a thing, he would not admit it even more.

This weekend, in the fifth round of La Liga, Barcelona will play away against Athletic Bilbao.
On the one hand, there was the Champions League in the middle of the week, and on the other hand, because a group of radical Barcelona fans came to the away game, Rijkaard took the initiative to tell Su Dong that he would not be allowed to play in this game for the time being.
Sure enough, at the San Mamés Stadium, some Barcelona fans once again unfurled banners and shouted slogans against Su Dong.
This felt very fresh to everyone in Athletic Bilbao.
The commentators at the San Mames Stadium all said with a smile that they had never seen away fans helping the home team and attacking the away team's core players. They could be called the best 13th player in home games.
Perhaps due to the loss of morale, Barcelona was thwarted in an attack in the 11th minute and was penetrated by a quick counterattack by Athletic Bilbao, falling behind 0-1.
Afterwards, no matter how Barcelona attacked, they were unable to equalize the score.
Gudjohnson missed opportunities one after another, and other Barcelona players were also unable to seize opportunities.
The situation did not improve in the second half.
Rijkaard struggled to hold on until the 60th minute, but he could no longer bear it and replaced Gudjohnson with Su Dong.
Just one minute later, Xavi made a straight pass, Sudong quickly made an offside run into the penalty area, used his body to push away the opponent's central defender Ustaris, and shot the ball into the goal with his right foot, equalizing the score for Barcelona, one to one!
With the strength, scoring a goal is that easy! Gudjohnson had such an opportunity just now. Ronaldinho, Messi, Deco and Xavi passed the ball to him countless times, but it was useless. He was knocked down twice and complained that the referee did not call a foul.
But Su Dong directly knocked Ustaris away and scored a goal!
Even the commentator on the scene couldn't help but sigh, "Barcelona's substitution has an immediate effect!"
"Su Dong is undoubtedly the world's top center!"
…
Rijkaard was not satisfied with the draw and immediately replaced Iniesta.
Ten minutes later, Messi got the ball and cut inside, passing it straight behind him. Su Dong once again made an offside move, caught up with the ball at the front of the penalty area, and shot directly, once again blasting the ball into Athletic Bilbao's goal, 2-1!
Athletic Bilbao players protested to the referee that Su Dong was offside, but the referee denied it.
"He just started it too fast!"
Just three minutes later, Barcelona made a small-scale continuous wall-to-wall cooperation on the left side consisting of Ronaldinho, Iniesta and Xavi, which was very beautiful and passed the ball directly to the front of the small penalty area. Su Dong easily followed up and shot with his left foot, sending the ball into the goal again, three to one!
Another hat trick! It only took Su Dong 17 minutes from the time he came on the field to the time he scored the hat trick!
…………
…………
Barcelona finally reversed Athletic Bilbao 3-1 thanks to another hat trick from Sudong.
This game allowed everyone to see Su Dong's amazing form and strength, especially in the first hour of the game, when Gudjohnson frequently missed opportunities and Barcelona's weak offense formed a sharp contrast with Su Dong's consecutive goals after he came on the court.
After the game, Barcelona chairman Rosell quickly came out and said that the club had rejected Sudong's written transfer application, and once again reiterated Sudong's importance to Barcelona.
"From this game, everyone can see that Su Dong is the most important player of the team and we don't want him to transfer."
Rijkaard also said in the post-match press conference that if Su Dong transferred, it would be a disaster for Barcelona.
But just when the Barcelona management had just made the decision, Su Dong's agent Mendes came to Camp Nou again and submitted a written transfer application. At the same time, he said in an interview with the media, "Su Dong will only play for Barcelona until the winter break."
The reason is simple.
"He is extremely disappointed with what he has been through during this period and he can't play here anymore!"
Russell was really cornered this time.
The Barcelona president immediately called Mendes through technical director Begiristain, hoping to meet with Sudon or Mendes for face-to-face negotiations, but Mendes refused to meet.
"There are many things you know, and we know them too. There is no need to discuss them anymore, and we can't reach an agreement!"
"Su asked me to tell you that he must leave during the winter break!"
"Which team is he going to?" Russell was furious.
Is this a threat to him? "I haven't thought about it yet." Mendes laughed on the other end of the phone.
This was true, but Russell didn't believe it at all.

During the two-week national team competition, the world was still buzzing with news about the Soviet Union and Barcelona.
Su Dong still insisted on training every day as before, as if nothing had happened at all, but he held video conferences with Wang Chuqing, Mendes and Ma Dawei every day to discuss and study the progress of things.
Su Dong knew very well that the better he performed, the less he would have to worry about the future.
Of course, the 200 million euro transfer fee that Barcelona wants is simply impossible.
…
Two weeks later, Barcelona faced Sevilla at home in the sixth round of La Liga.
This time at Camp Nou, there were more fans booing Su Dong, and the noise was louder.
It can be seen that Su Dong really offended them badly.
But even amid the boos, Su Dong scored for Barcelona in the thirteenth minute of the game.
This made the Barcelona fans in the stands feel really conflicted.
They knew that the team needed Su Dong and needed Su Dong's goals, but Su Dong made them so annoying.
At this point, he didn't even have the attitude to admit his mistakes! The fans booed him, and he simply didn't celebrate his goals. Every time he scored a goal, he just turned around and walked away.
This meant that many fans in the stands who were ready to throw debris at him when he scored a goal had no chance.
Afterwards, Ronaldinho took advantage of the free kick opportunity created by Su Dong and scored a direct free kick.
Su Dong just applauded Ronaldinho from a distance and didn't even chase after him.
On the contrary, Messi scored a goal after a series of dribbling in the second half. He rushed directly to Su Dong and celebrated with him on the field.
Messi is one of the few Barcelona players who still supports Su Dong even now.

…………
In the middle of the week, in the third round of the Champions League group stage, Barcelona will challenge Chelsea away.
From the first minute of the game, Su Dong gained the upper hand in the contest with two Chelsea central defenders, Terry and Carvalho.
The stronger the opponent, the stronger he became, and Su Dong burst into amazing form.
Despite Chelsea's tenacious blockade, he still got frequent chances.
First, in the 24th minute, Xavi made a straight pass, and Su Dong made a forward run to receive the ball on the right side of the penalty area. Facing Carvalho and goalkeeper Hilario who were returning to defense, Su Dong used a delicate lob shot and directly sent the ball to the left side of the goal.
Fortunately, Hilario reacted quickly enough and tried his best to block Su Dong's lob shot with one hand.
In the 39th minute, it was Su Dong again who received the pass from Messi outside the penalty area. He stopped and passed the ball, followed by a realistic fake move, deceiving three players, Terry, Carvalho and Makelele, and rushed into the penalty area with the ball. He pushed the ball into the goal before goalkeeper Hilario, scoring the first goal for Barcelona.
But at the beginning of the second half, Ashley Cole made a cross from the left, Puyol made a mistake in marking, Drogba stopped the ball, turned around, and fired a powerful shot that penetrated Barcelona's goal.
In the end, the two teams shook hands and made peace with a score of 1:1.
Although Rijkaard criticized Mourinho for making trouble on the turf of the stadium and deliberately letting the grass grow very long to limit Barcelona's passing and ball control after the game, this still cannot cover up Barcelona's poor form.
According to the post-match ratings of the British Guardian, Su Dong was the biggest highlight of the team, Messi also performed well, and the other players were average.
This further intensified public opinion in Catalonia.
Do we really want to force Su Dong to leave under such circumstances?
Many Barcelona fans began to hesitate.
But just when the team returned to Barcelona from London, the court posted a notice.
The trial date for Su Dong's case against Barcelona has been set.
