Chapter 606 The challenge has been issued, Su Dong, do you dare to accept it?
When the ball was passed to the left, Su Dong firmly believed that someone would come to receive the ball from that side.
And this person is most likely Marcelo.
This is due to his understanding and trust in Marcelo.
And the facts proved that his bet was right! While Olic was hesitating, Marcelo moved forward decisively and quickly, and received the pass from Su Dong on the left side of the penalty area.
As soon as the ball stopped, Zenit's defenders turned their guns and rushed towards him.
This is exactly what Su Dong wanted to achieve.
Marcelo didn't wait for the opponent to get close, he dribbled the ball into the penalty area and made a low cross with his left foot.
Su Dong quickly got behind the central defender, caught up with Marcelo's pass at the front of the small penalty area, and easily sent the ball into the lower right corner of the goal with a push.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!"
"Su Dong! Su Dong scored a goal!!!"
Su Dong did not slow down, he rushed out of the court, ran all the way to the left, and pointed at Marcelo from a distance.
The Brazilian left-back followed closely and rushed to Su Dong's side excitedly. The two celebrated the goal on the sidelines, twisting their waists and dancing samba. Especially Su Dong, the giant elephant, danced with a unique rhythm.
"Zenit still underestimated Su Dong!"
"Even though they had three players returning to defense in time and double-teaming Su Dong, Marcelo's run from the wing still created a great opportunity for Su Dong to face the goal."
"In fact, Bayern's counterattack just now almost resulted in a goal, but Podolski chose to shoot himself instead of passing it to Su Dong. This time Marcelo chose to pass it."
"From the perspective of the entire goal, Su Dong's handling was amazing. Not only was the stop-and-go move smooth and seamless, but even when he was double-teamed by three defensive players, he still dribbled the ball calmly and passed it to Marcelo on the left in time."
"It can be said that the entire goal reflects Su Dong's superb personal ability and game awareness."
…
Su Dong's goal greatly boosted Bayern's morale.
Subsequently, the Bundesliga giants launched a counterattack against Zenit.
For more than half an hour after the start of the game, Bayern was at a disadvantage on the field. When they scored a goal, they immediately felt confident and began to want to defeat the opponent in one go. They pressed forward frequently, planned attacks, and constantly threatened Zenit's goal.
Zenit was able to win the UEFA Cup, of course, due to its overall strength, but also because of its excellent defense, which was flawless and did not give Bayern too many chances.
This is mainly because Bayern's front trident was missing two sides. Ribery and Robben were absent, and Olic and Podolski were unable to open up the defense for Su Dong, which made Su Dong always trapped in the double-team of two or three opposing players, and was in a very unfavorable situation.
Heynckes also realized this, so during the half-time break, he emphasized to Olic and Podolski that they should pay attention to stretching the defense line when attacking and share Su Dong's defensive pressure.
Especially Podolski, don't always stay too close to the center.
This is actually not difficult to understand.
In the last season, Podolski had actually lost his main position. Under the pressure of Ribery and Robben, it was difficult for the Prince of Cologne to gain a foothold in the starting lineup.
Even if the team adopts two strikers, Heynckes' first choice is Klose and Su Dong, not Podolski.
This is also why Podolski sought to leave the team during the winter break.
But with their outstanding performance in the European Cup this summer, Prince Cologne is clearly more confident.
He hopes to get more playing opportunities and show himself better instead of just sitting on the bench and wasting time.
At the beginning of the season, Ribery and Robben were absent due to injuries, which undoubtedly gave Podolski a godsend opportunity. So the Prince of Cologne tried his best to prove his strength, which seemed a bit hasty.
Despite being reminded by Heynckes during the half-time break, Podolski still did not improve in the second half.
I guess after he got on the field, he got so excited that he forgot all other thoughts.
After the situation was deadlocked for more than ten minutes, Heynckes finally couldn't help it. In the 60th minute, he replaced Podolski with Klose, which made the Prince of Cologne look depressed.
Everyone could understand his feelings, including Su Dong.
Ribery and Robben are about to join the team training and will return at the end of September, but during this period, Podolski has not performed very well, which makes him have no weight in the competition for the starting position.
When Ribery and Robben return, there will probably be no chance for him to get a starting position.
To put it bluntly, we still lack strength.
Professional football is very realistic and cruel. If you don’t have the strength, you will have to accept elimination!
…
After Klose came on the court, Su Dong's position retreated, allowing Klose to go to the front and fight with Zenit's central defender.
In this way, Su Dong will be able to free up his hands and devote all his strength to the attack.
Just eight minutes later, in a quick counterattack from the backcourt, Modric made a long pass directly behind him.
Klose sprinted all the way, caught up with the ball at the bottom line, blocked the opponent's central defender with his body, and passed the ball back to the penalty spot.
Su Dong was a little behind, and when he received the pass from Klose, he pretended to kick the ball. After tricking the defensive player into blocking him sideways, Su Dong then deflected the ball with his right foot and shot it into the lower left corner with his left foot.
The ball went straight into the lower left corner of the goal, two to zero!
After Su Dong scored the goal, he immediately ran towards Klose and celebrated the goal with him.
Klose is a very smart player with good physique and strength. His goal-scoring ability is not particularly strong, but his awareness of cooperation and running is very good, which makes him a qualified striker partner.
At Bayern, Su Dong cooperates most comfortably with Ribery and Robben. These two players with excellent one-on-one ability can pull away the defensive players for him and give him more opportunities.
If there are two strikers, Su Dong’s first choice would be Klose.
…
With a 2-0 lead, Bayern began to consciously slow down their attack.
It was difficult for Zenit to organize a threatening attack against Bayern's defense because they also had to guard against being attacked from behind by Sudon, Klose and Olic.
Even after Heynckes replaced Olic with young player Thomas Muller, this smart boy was still very threatening, energetic and active.
More importantly, this guy is a second-rate guy. From time to time, he will give you a funny expression, or say some inexplicable words, making people laugh, so he is a very nice person in the team.
Zenit didn't launch a series of attacks until the final stages of the game, taking advantage of Bayern's slack defense.
First, Arshavin got the ball in front of the penalty area, then he dribbled into the penalty area and shot.
Facing the close shot, Neuer once again demonstrated the results of his recent special training with Sepp Maier and Dreyer. With an almost godly dive, he caught Arshavin's close shot directly in his arms.
This wonderful save made everyone in Bayern cheer.
He can even save a shot as heavy and small as a solid ball, so it is no surprise that Neuer can save a shot like Arshavin's. It can only be said that Neuer's special training is indeed very effective.
Equally threatening was the moment in stoppage time when Danny got the ball on the left side of the penalty area and suddenly dribbled across the penalty area. When Lucio wasn't paying attention, he suddenly shot a curve ball with his right foot.
The shot was quick and sharp, and went straight into the upper right corner.
When everyone was shocked, Neuer made another side dive and, in an almost impossible situation, lifted Danny's curved shot over the crossbar with one hand.
This time, Neuer's amazing save won applause from the whole audience, and the fans at the scene applauded him warmly.
In the end, thanks to Neuer's repeated saves, Bayern defeated Zenit St. Petersburg 2-0.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Su Dong celebrated with his teammates, and then walked up to Neuer, gave him a high five and a hug, and congratulated him on his wonderful individual performance.
This game will definitely greatly enhance Neuer's status in the coaching staff and management.
More importantly, Neuer can gain more confidence.
"You are lucky enough. How long have you been in the team? And you have already won a European championship. That's great!"
Neuer was in a very good mood and couldn't help laughing. "That was all thanks to you. Without your two goals, how could we have won the championship?"
Who doesn't want to hear good words? After being flattered, Su Dong was very pleased and felt that this boy was a good person and had a bright future! …………
…………
While Bayern, far away in Monaco, defeated Zenit St. Petersburg and won the European Super Cup, the third round of the Bundesliga was in full swing in Germany, far to the north.
After two days of fighting day and night, the third round of the Bundesliga is over.
Hoffenheim, a highly-watched small country team, finally suffered its first defeat of the new season in the third round.
In their away game against Bayer Leverkusen, they were pinned down and beaten hard by the Bundesliga powerhouse, ultimately suffering a 5-2 defeat.
This basically confirms the previous judgment of the outside world that Hoffenheim is a newly promoted team and is not strong enough to compete with the strong teams in the Bundesliga.
Although there was a legend of Kaiserslautern winning the championship as a newly promoted team, you have to know that Hoffenheim is not Kaiserslautern, and Rangnick is not Rehhagel.
However, Ibisevic really has the potential to become Marshall.
Although Hoffenheim suffered a 2-5 defeat away from home, Ibisevic scored twice, scoring both of Hoffenheim's goals.
The German media and fans started celebrating again.
Damn, this kid is definitely here to cause trouble!
Su Dong scored twice, and he also scored twice. He always had the upper hand over Su Dong. It was really too much!
But I just like the way you stir up trouble!
It would be better to keep doing this and beat Su Dong directly! The Bosnian center forward, who has suddenly become popular recently, also accepted an interview with the media after the game. He expressed his respect for Su Dong and said that there is still a huge gap between him and Su Dong.
"Su Dong is the scorer I respect the most, and I feel honored to be compared with him."
But Ibisevic also said that he would not hold back just because the opponent was Sudong, he would go all out in every game.
The challenge has been issued, Su Dong, do you dare to accept it?
