Chapter 572 It’s all Su Dong’s fault!
With a goal just over a minute into the game, Bayern got off to a dream start, but the course of the game did not change.
Barcelona still firmly controlled nearly 65% of the ball possession, and Bayern was at an absolute disadvantage on the field.
With excellent ball control, Barcelona kept probing and trying to launch attacks.
Bayern relied on its own meticulous defense to resist Barcelona's attacks and penetration time and time again.
Heynckes listened to Su Dong's advice and adopted a tight defensive formation, but did not retreat blindly. Instead, he focused the stranglehold on the area from the center line to the 30-meter area of Bayern.
This is an option that can be used for both offense and defense.
Although Barcelona's trident, Henry, Bojan and Eto'o are all very fast, Bayern's two central defenders Lucio and Pepe are also fast in chasing back, Lahm and Marcelo are also very flexible on both flanks, plus the double defensive midfielders Mascherano and Schweinsteiger in the middle, which makes Bayern's defense very tightly organized.
Barcelona also stuck to their own style of play. In addition to firmly controlling the ball, they also adopted a full-court pressing tactic.
Even when Bayern intercepted the ball in the midfield, Barcelona's pressing could directly reach Bayern's penalty area.
On one occasion, goalkeeper Kahn created a dangerous situation.
When receiving the pass from Pepe, Kahn stopped the ball a little too long and did not pass it out immediately, and Eto'o almost seized the opportunity. Fortunately, Kahn kicked the ball out in a hurry, and although it still fell at Barcelona's feet, at least it did not cause a threat.
This also made everyone in Bayern break out in a cold sweat.
Within the Bayern team, players and coaching staff have gradually realized that a traditional goalkeeper like Kahn is no longer capable of continuing to shoulder the burden of Bayern's goalkeeper. Many times, when the back line presses forward, there is a gap between him and the defenders.
Even in some situations where he was receiving the pass back, Kahn had difficulty handling it.
Just like when facing Barcelona’s pressure just now.
However, Barcelona's desperate pressing and oppression also brought about a new problem, that is, their back line also had to press forward, otherwise the midfield and backcourt would be disconnected.
This gave Bayern the opportunity to counterattack.
Although they did not have much possession time, Bayern often launched quick counterattacks after stealing the ball.
Just like this time in the 23rd minute, Pepe made a fierce tackle and cleared the ball from Bojan's feet.
The young Barcelona player was so suppressed when facing Pepe tonight that he had no temper at all.
Whether it was physical confrontation, footwork, or even speed and explosiveness, he had no way to deal with Pepe, and he was so weak that he fell to the ground from time to time.
This time Pepe knocked him to the ground with the ball, and Marcelo kicked the ball to the front court with a big foot.
Su Dong turned his back to the direction of attack, judged the landing point, blocked the position in advance, blocked Puyol firmly behind him, headed Marcelo's clearance to Schweinsteiger who ran into the open space, and turned around and ran forward.
The little pig got the ball, took a step forward and quickly passed it to Ribery.
After Scarface stopped the ball sideways, he dribbled forward and quickly came to the left side of Barcelona's penalty area.
At this time, Su Dong in the middle had also reached the top of the arc and gestured to Ribery.
Scarface didn't wait for other Barcelona players to return to defense, and dribbled the ball straight to Zambrotta, and the two of them were in a one-on-one situation.
With just one touch, Ribery forced his way through Zambrotta, dribbled the ball directly along the left side of the penalty area, and passed it to the back of the penalty area.
After making a gesture in the left area of the top arc, Su Dong continued to sprint forward, but when Ribery broke through Zambrotta, Su Dong suddenly turned and rushed to the back point, which caught Puyol and Milito off guard.
Valdes was originally leaning towards the left post, but unexpectedly Ribery passed the ball directly to the back post, and the Barcelona goalkeeper kept retreating.
Su Dong rushed to the right side of the small penalty area, jumped high, and headed the ball to the near corner before Valdes pounced. Puyol and Milito, who were in front and behind him, were unable to jump up to stop him.
The ball passed through Valdes' hands and went into Barcelona's goal again.
Two to zero! "GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"
“Score twice!!!”
"In the 23rd minute of the first half, Su Dong scored another goal!"
"It's still a high ball! It's still a high ball from the two wings. Su Dong cuts in from the middle and uses his height and jumping advantage to score two goals for Bayern with two headers. It's 2-0!"
After scoring the goal, Su Dong clenched his fists and roared on the spot, venting his inner excitement.
Then he raised his right hand high and showed two fingers, which represented two goals.
The Barcelona fans at the scene immediately became angry and booed him wildly.
Bayern players rushed to catch up and celebrate the goal with Su Dong, and at the same time they found his gestures very funny.
I know that Su Dong hates Barcelona, but does he think that Barcelona fans' saliva can't drown people by provoking them like this? ...
Cruyff and Bach were sitting on the podium.
When Su Dong scored a goal, he noticed that Rijkaard was waving his fist in anger in front of the home team's coaching bench. Looking at him, it seemed as if he wanted to rush up to defend Su Dong himself.
In fact, when Rijkaard played football, he was a very good defensive midfielder and central defender.
In front of the visiting team's coaching stand, Heynckes raised his arms and cheered for Su Dong's goal.
With two goals in a row, Bayern's strategic goal tonight has been achieved! Even if the game is tied or even reversed, Bayern will have the advantage with these two away goals.
What's more, it is not easy for Barcelona to make a comeback.
It is well known that Barcelona's defense lacks height.
Puyol and Milito are both less than 1.8 meters tall, and it is indeed very difficult for them to defend Su Dong, who is 1.95 meters tall.
But there is no way. Barcelona's central defenders are not tall. The tallest is Edmilson, who is 1.86 meters tall, shorter than Su Dong. But the condition of the Brazilian central defenders is not reassuring, and the same is true for Thuram.
According to Rijkaard and Cruyff's ideas, Yaya Toure, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, should often return to the back line to make up for the weakness of insufficient height in the back line. However, the Ivorian midfielder did not return to support in time during Bayern's two quick counterattacks.
This is a very sad thing.
The head coach's tactical intentions were ideal, but the players' execution was a mess. What can we do? No matter how good the tactics are, they still have to rely on the players to execute them.
"I wonder if they will regret forcing Su Dong away tonight?" Bachi suddenly said.
Cruyff was visibly stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "You think too much, Bachi."
"No?" Butch was puzzled.
Su Dong's two goals, no matter from which angle you look at it, Barcelona has absolute reason to regret forcing him to leave.
"You know what? People are best at making excuses. The more incompetent a person is, the more he likes to make excuses."
"The better Su Dong performs tonight, the less shame and regret he will receive from Barcelona fans and management. Instead, it will further arouse their anger and hatred. They will not feel that they did anything wrong, but will only hate Su Dong even more, and will make them more firmly believe that all of this is Su Dong's fault!"
Bucky was very surprised. What kind of logic was this?
But looking around and listening to the deafening boos from the Barcelona fans, was Cruyff wrong? …
Just as the audience was booing loudly, the game resumed.
The Barcelona players were obviously a little anxious and continued to press forward in a large area.
But this time, Bayern obviously handled it more easily.
Just seven minutes after Su Dong's second goal, Lucio intercepted the ball from the backcourt. After receiving the ball, Lahm quickly advanced along the right side, made a two-on-one combination with Modric near the center line, and quickly kicked the ball to Robben in front.
The Dutchman dribbled the ball all the way along the right side and advanced to the right side of Barcelona's penalty area. When facing Abidal, he suddenly changed direction and cut inside, dribbled the ball to the middle, and dribbled the ball horizontally along the penalty area line.
Barcelona's back line had all retreated back into the penalty area, even Yaya Toure followed back this time, while Robben cut inside along the penalty area line, but got no chance and had to pass the ball to Ribery on the left side of the penalty area at the top of the arc.
Ribery faced the goal sideways, stopped Robben's pass at the bottom line, started instantly, shook off Zambrotta, and passed the ball to the middle with his left foot.
In the penalty area, Su Dong suddenly started to move forward.
Ribery's pass was so urgent and sudden that goalkeeper Valdes couldn't stop it even with his side dive, but Su Dong quickly cut in through the middle and easily caught up with Ribery's cross in the small penalty area. He pushed the ball and it hit the inside of Su Dong's foot, turned in another direction, and went into Barcelona's goal.
Three to zero! "Hat trick!"
"Oh my god, in the 31st minute of the first half, Su Dong scored a hat trick!"
"It was another quick counterattack by Bayern. Robben and Ribery connected on the left and right sides, creating a great chance for Su Dong to score. Su Dong also seized the opportunity again and scored the ball into Barcelona's goal again."
“Three to zero!”
The moment Su Dong scored the goal, the entire Camp Nou stadium fell into deathly silence.
Barcelona fans know that Barcelona's performance this season has been disastrous, but the team's performance in the Champions League gives fans hope. They believe that perhaps the defeats in the league and the Copa del Rey will allow the team to focus more on the Champions League.
But who could have thought that in the first round of the quarterfinals, in the face of Bayern's sharp counterattack and Su Dong's one goal after another, Barcelona's Dream Team II dynasty collapsed!
"Sudon is still celebrating his goal, but he no longer represents Barcelona!"
"Barcelona's Dream Team II dynasty rose with Su Dong's joining. It can even be said that it was Su Dong's performance and goals that created the peak of Barcelona's Dream Team II dynasty. But now, he has personally destroyed Barcelona's Dream Team II at the Camp Nou, ending the Dream Team II's dynasty rule."
"Thirty-one minutes, the score is 0-3. After tonight, Barcelona's Dream Team II will become history!"
