Chapter 519 The kid who made Su Dong take the initiative to exchange jerseys
On the evening of March 31st, Allianz Arena, Munich.
In the 27th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern will face Schalke 04 at home.
From the beginning of the game, Su Dong's attention was attracted by Schalke 04's goalkeeper.
It was an attack from the left, and Marcelo passed the ball to Schweinsteiger just after crossing the center line.
After stopping the ball, Schweini made some adjustments and sent a long pass behind Schalke's four-line defense.
Su Dong successfully made an offside move and rushed directly into the visiting team's penalty area.
Both the player and the ball rushed straight to the penalty area, which excited the Bayern fans in the Allianz Arena.
But at this critical moment, the goalkeeper of Schalke 04 decisively abandoned the goal and rushed into the penalty area at a very fast speed. He jumped up and kicked the ball out with both hands.
Su Dong, who was sprinting quickly, brushed past the goalkeeper and was very surprised.
Wow, he was almost out of the penalty area.
This goalkeeper is quite courageous! Soon, Bayern launched another attack.
Sagnol made a cross from the right, Sudong stopped the ball in the middle, got rid of Boden, and shot from near the penalty spot.
Su Dong was very confident about this kind of shot.
But what he didn't expect was that the opponent's goalkeeper reacted quickly and dived sideways to block Su Dong's shot.
After two consecutive shots were blocked by the opponent, Su Dong became more excited.
Sagnol made a low cross from the right, and Su Dong made a fake move near the front point on the right side of the small penalty area, tricking the opponent's goalkeeper into making a move, and then he pushed the ball into the goal.
As a result, the goalkeeper kicked the ball out of the baseline even though he had already lost his balance.
This time even Su Dong couldn't help but applaud him.
"Great!" Su Dong smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
The goalkeeper climbed up from the ground panting and looked at Su Dong deeply.
"How is it?" Captain Boden came over and asked the young player with concern.
The goalkeeper shook his head. “He’s really amazing!”
Boden had experienced this just now. He was completely suppressed by Su Dong behind him and could not move. He could only let him stop the ball, turn around and shoot.
"What did he say?" Borden asked.
The young goalkeeper shook his head and did not answer directly, but he heard very clearly that Su Dong was praising him.
The fact that he could praise the opponent who prevented him from scoring a goal in a game proves that Su Dong himself is an extremely powerful person.
Only when you are strong enough will you praise your opponent during the game.
…
The first half ended with the score 0-0. Bayern Munich failed to break Schalke 04's goal at home, but Bayern's offense played quite well throughout the first half, especially Su Dong, who got several excellent chances. Schalke 04's goalkeeper performed very well and left a deep impression.
"Su, what did I see you say to him just now?" Goalkeeper Kahn walked into the player tunnel side by side with Su Dong with great interest.
"That goalkeeper?" Su Dong asked.
Kahn nodded. "His name is Manuel Neuer and he just turned twenty-one."
Su Dong knew that he had seen him in the player information before the game. It was said that he had just played in the first team this season and his performance was very eye-catching. He was the best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga this season. He suppressed his rival, veteran goalkeeper Rost, and left him no chance to play. He was clamoring to leave the team.
"What do you think of this kid?" Kahn asked.
When evaluating a goalkeeper's ability, forwards like Su Dong are still very valuable for reference.
"Very impressive, very good." Su Dong praised.
"Compared to Rensing?" Kahn asked again.
Su Dong was a little hesitant now.
Rensing is recognized within the Bayern team as the goalkeeper who will replace Kahn. On weekdays, whether in games or training, Kahn has been constantly promoting Rensing, which makes it difficult for Su Dong to comment.
"Lunxin is also very good." Su Dong still praised.
Kahn smiled helplessly, knowing that he had asked a stupid question.
Although Su Dong is young, he has his own set of rules for dealing with people, especially when he is in a position like his. Every word he says may be magnified, so he usually speaks with great caution.
Even facing Kahn.
Although Su Dong did not say it explicitly, it could be seen from his casual comments.
Neuer is very good, Rensing is also very good, there is obviously a difference.
The fact that Kahn asked this question itself reflects the doubts in his heart.
To put it bluntly, Rensing still needs his support, but what about Neuer?
He knocked Rost down directly.
A truly capable goalkeeper should be like Neuer, not like Rensing.
This is what Kahn has been worrying about. Now Rensing can play and compete under his wing without much pressure, but once he retires, can he handle it? Bayern's goalkeeper needs not only skills and strength, but also a strong heart.
…
Less than a minute into the second half, Marcelo passed the ball from behind.
Su Dong quickly inserted himself from behind, raised his leg to take the ball off, and rushed into the penalty area again.
Neuer decisively left the goal and seized the opportunity very well.
But what he didn't expect was that Su Dong suddenly stopped abruptly, barely avoided Neuer's attack, and then made a direct shot.
Schalke 04's goalkeeper played very well, but even the best goalkeeper will be at a disadvantage when facing a one-on-one situation.
Watching the ball go into the bottom of the net, Neuer, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at Su Dong. There was reluctance in his eyes, but also a hint of admiration.
"I underestimated you in the first half, but I won't do that in the second half." Su Dong said with a smile.
In the subsequent games, Bayern still took the initiative on the field and continued to pose threats to Schalke 04.
Neuer also played bravely, saving two very threatening shots from Podolski and Schweinsteiger in succession.
It was not until the 78th minute that Lucio suddenly dribbled forward, disrupted Schalke 04's defense, and sent a straight pass to the right side of the penalty area.
Su Dong quickly inserted himself from behind and kicked the ball to the right side of the penalty area before Boden, then he accelerated to overtake and caught up.
Neuer quickly stood in position, and Boden was also chasing back desperately to block Su Dong's shooting angle.
Unexpectedly, Su Dong passed the ball directly to the back post from the right side of the penalty area, and Marcelo followed up and pushed the ball into the empty goal, 2-0! This was the first goal scored by a Brazilian player after joining Bayern! Marcelo was so excited that he rushed to the sidelines and started a samba, looking extremely excited.
In the end, Bayern defeated Schalke 04 2-0 with Su Dong's pass and one shot.
But it was Neuer who was voted Man of the Match.
…
The game is lost!
Neuer walked towards the player tunnel depressed.
He knew that this actually had nothing to do with him, the main reason was that Bayern was too strong.
Especially that Su Dong.
He is definitely the strongest center forward Neuer has ever seen in his career so far.
The first goal was beautiful, and the second goal's lob was also handled very well. Neuer was helpless in the face of both goals, which made him quite distressed.
Just as Neuer was about to walk into the player tunnel, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
Neuer was startled and turned around, only to see Su Dong appear beside him at some point.
At this moment, Su Dong was shirtless, revealing his muscular body. He was holding the jersey he had just taken off and handed it to Neuer. This surprised the young Schalke 04 goalkeeper and even made him feel very honored.
Neuer immediately took off his gloves, stretched out his hand to shake hands with Su Dong. After taking the jersey, he found that his hands were full of things, so how could he have time to take off the jersey?
Seeing his look, Su Dong couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Give it to me."
After Su Dong took the things in his hand, Neuer quickly took off his jersey and handed it to Su Dong.
"After I get back, I will study this game carefully. Next time we meet, I hope you can make further progress. Otherwise..."
Su Dong didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear.
"Don't worry, next time we meet, I will do my best to stop you from scoring."
Su Dong smiled and waved his hand.
When he separated from Neuer, he discovered something quite embarrassing.
That is, Schalke 04's two center forwards Kuranyi and Altintop Jr. actually ran over to him to exchange jerseys.
Su Dong had already exchanged his jersey with Neuer, so they had no choice but to quickly ask the staff for two replacement jerseys of their own and exchange them with them, otherwise they would have to return empty-handed.
…
In the stands, the three giants of Bayern couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw this scene.
Su Dong's influence in the Bundesliga is still very large. In every game, many people will ask him to exchange jerseys, so Bayern will prepare a few more jerseys for Su Dong so that he can exchange them.
"If I remember correctly, this should be the first time that Su Dong has taken the initiative to exchange jerseys with others since coming to the Bundesliga?" Beckenbauer was quite observant and noticed something unusual.
Rummenigge and Hoeness looked at each other and both noticed this.
Isn’t it?
In the past, others would always seek out Su Dong to exchange jerseys, but this time it was Su Dong who took the initiative to seek out Neuer to exchange jerseys, which has a different meaning.
"It seems that Su Dong admires this kid very much." Beckenbauer said with a smile, "He did perform very well, especially his courage, which is not simple!"
"Rensing is also quite good." Hennes supports Rensing.
The reason is simple. Lunsing has its own youth training and does not cost any money.
"Sep also believes that Rensing is the most ideal successor to Kahn," Hoeness added.
Sepp Meier, Bayern's current goalkeeping coach, was also a legendary goalkeeper during Bayern's three consecutive Champions League titles. He was a teammate of the Big Three and had a close personal relationship with them. After retiring due to a car accident in 1979, he transformed himself into a goalkeeping coach and trained legendary goalkeepers such as Schumacher, Illgner and Kahn.
And now, all Bayern fans are eagerly looking forward to Mayer training another goalkeeper for Bayern.
Rensing is undoubtedly one of the hottest candidates.
"Ideals are always beautiful. Kahn will play for another year, so let's give Rensing another year."
Even though Kahn has decided to retire and his condition is far from his peak, Rensing is still suppressed by Kahn.
How can we believe that Rensing can take on the responsibility of Bayern's main goalkeeper after Kahn retires? I had to pick up and drop off my children all day on Saturday, and I accidentally sprained my waist. I cried...
