Chapter 633 Historic First Championship
December 17, Yokohama Stadium.
In the Club World Cup semi-finals, Gamba Osaka faced Bayern Munich.
The packed stadium demonstrated the influence of Su Dong and Bayern in Japan, and also gave the host Gamba Osaka team great confidence.
Being able to win the AFC Champions League proves that this team is still very strong. In addition, playing at home, they launched a fierce pressing pressure on Bayern from the start, and launched a round of attacks on Bayern through large-scale running and coverage.
They even had the advantage on the field at one point, making Bayern appear a little passive and shooting frequently.
After two years of coaching by Heynckes, Bayern's overall tactical framework has basically stabilized and taken shape. The characteristic of this team is stability.
He played steadily, not taking risks easily and not giving the opponent any chances easily.
Although Gamba Osaka launched a wave of attacks at the beginning of the game, it was not an easy task to penetrate the goal guarded by Neuer given the team's strength, and many shots missed the goal.
Bayern, on the other hand, played steadily and patiently, allowing the opponent to launch attacks while they waited patiently for opportunities.
Gamba Osaka's head coach Akira Nishino thought his tactics were working and frequently directed the team on the sidelines.
But he didn't know that Bayern's players just needed some time to find the rhythm and form of the game after a long flight.
When the game entered the 16th minute, Su Dong received a pass from Robben on the right side of the penalty area.
Under the intensive defense of the defensive players, Su Dong stopped the ball, turned around, suddenly started, cut inside with the ball, and after shaking off four defensive players in succession, he suddenly shot with his left foot with a powerful shot that almost penetrated the goal of Gamba Osaka and made everyone break out in a cold sweat.
Nishino Akira was so frightened that he jumped up on the sidelines.
From this moment on, he never sat back down.
…
In the 23rd minute of the game, Modric suddenly advanced with the ball. In the 30-meter area, he made a lob pass and sent the ball directly into the penalty area, finding Su Dong.
Su Dong turned his back to the direction of attack and used his body to press down Gamba Osaka's central defender Satoshi Yamaguchi, forcing the opponent to be unable to compete for the header, and the ball fell beside him.
Su Dong suddenly turned around, caught up with the ball, and shot it with a powerful kick, sending the ball directly into the goal, one to zero!
The sudden goal loss completely disrupted Gamba Osaka's plans, especially their game rhythm.
Just five minutes later, Bayern launched an attack from the left. Ribery sent the ball directly to the bottom line on the left side of the penalty area. Marcelo made a high-speed run and caught up with the ball. He then passed a low ball to the front of the penalty area. Su Dong was trapped by two defensive players on both sides, but he broke through their defense and shot the ball before the goalkeeper, making it two to zero!
Not long after, Bayern took advantage of another corner kick opportunity, Lucio scored with a header, and Bayern scored another goal, 3 to 0! Before the end of the first half, Schweinsteiger passed the ball into the penalty area from a free kick on the right side of the penalty area. Su Dong jumped high, headed the ball, and sent the ball into the goal again, 4 to 0!
The entire Yokohama Stadium was stunned! If the first fifteen minutes gave Gamba Osaka hope of defeating Bayern, then the subsequent game became a one-sided massacre, especially after Bayern found the rhythm and form of the game. Gamba Osaka had no chance to resist and could only let the opponent slaughter them.
Nishino Akira has been standing on the sidelines with an extremely serious expression, and he is obviously very worried about the situation.
He once thought that Gamba Osaka had a chance, but now it seems that they have no chance of winning at all.
…
After the second half, Bayern continued to pursue Gamba Osaka.
In the words of the Japanese commentator, "Bayern is like a lion that has been angered by its opponent. Four goals can't quell Bayern's anger at all. It needs more food!"
Ribery quickly dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area from the left and made a low pass into the penalty area.
Su Dong got between two defenders, Jia Diliang and Yamaguchi Zhi, and broke through the defense the moment he received the ball. He shot low with his left foot and scored a goal, which was a great four-goal performance. At the same time, the score was expanded to 5-0! Afterwards, Su Dong was replaced by Klose.
The fans at the scene, including Gamba Osaka players and coaches, all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, this killer was sent away! Unexpectedly, after Klose came on the court, Bayern's offensive continued unabated.
In the subsequent game, Klose scored two goals in a row, and Robben also had a shot after cutting in from the right.
In the end, Bayern defeated Gamba Osaka 8-0!
…
Before the game, Nishino Akira spoke very proudly, but after the game, the eight goals were like eight slaps in the face, making him realize the huge gap in strength between the two teams.
All the small actions taken by the organizers before the game seemed extremely clumsy during and after the game.
In fact, it was useless! Bayern was not affected by the pre-match events at all, and even their attitude towards the home team was still very lenient. But when the game really started, Bayern changed their past attitude and did not leave the host team any face, and did not even want to give them a goal.
Eight to zero, Gamba Osaka and Akira Nishino suffered a humiliating defeat!
After the game, everyone from Heynckes to Su Dong and other players praised Gamba Osaka, saying that the score was not enough to explain everything and that this Japanese team was still very strong.
But at this time, everyone realized that Bayern did not tell the truth and was not kind enough.
He scored eight goals in the game and then praised them a lot after the game. Isn't that too impolite?
At the very least, let them score a goal and save face!
The Japanese media highly praised Bayern's slaughter, especially Su Dong's four goals, which was regarded as the highest level of performance in world football. Gamba Osaka's disastrous defeat was due to its own lack of strength and could not be blamed on others.
…………
…………
On the 20th, in the Club World Cup final, Bayern played against Ecuador's University of Quito Sports.
The strength of Quito University Sports is evident from the fact that they were able to win the Copa Libertadores, which is full of gunners.
Everyone knows that the most technically and tactically demanding part of the Club World Cup every year is the final between the Copa Libertadores champion and the Champions League champion.
And this year is no exception.
As soon as the game started, the two teams were evenly matched.
Quito University Sports is not the typical South American technical style, but is more known for its defense and tough style, which is also a trend in South American football in recent years.
Bayern controlled the ball and the situation, suppressing Quito University Sports, but was unable to score.
This situation continued until the 22nd minute, when Toni Kroos made a lob pass and Su Dong quickly penetrated the penalty area. He turned sideways and chested the ball into the penalty area. He then accelerated and chased after the ball. With a light lob, the ball passed the goalkeeper and landed into the goal of the Quito University Sports Team.
One to zero!
Before this, Quito University Sports goalkeeper Ceballos had saved several threatening shots from Bayern.
…
Su Dong's goal did not change the situation on the field.
The University of Quito Sports knew that they were not as strong as Bayern, and they had no intention of fighting to the death with Bayern. Instead, they adopted a more defensive posture, patiently waiting for the opportunity to counterattack.
Bayern had possession of the ball and was patiently looking for opportunities.
The game fell into a stalemate, and the first half ended with a score of 1-0, with Bayern temporarily leading.
After the second half, the situation on the field remained unchanged. Bayern continued to dominate the game, while Quito University Sports still focused on defensive play.
Bayern's patient possession of the ball finally paid off in the 73rd minute.
The three midfielders consisting of Toni Kroos, Modric and Schweinsteiger formed a stable ball possession system at the front of the 30-meter area of Quito University Sports, constantly organizing and planning attacks.
Schweinsteiger made a straight pass to the middle of the penalty area. Su Dong suppressed the opponent's central defender with his body, stopped the ball, turned around, and passed the ball diagonally behind him with his left foot. Ribery quickly penetrated the penalty area from the left rib and easily shot into the goal.
Two to zero! This goal completely sentenced the University of Quito Sports to death!
…
After conceding two goals in a row, the Ecuadorian team made continuous substitutions in an attempt to launch a counterattack, but Bayern played quite steadily and gave the opponent no chance to take advantage.
Especially after Bayern organized several threatening counterattacks, the Ecuadorian team finally recognized the facts, accepted the reality, and eventually gave up the idea of counterattack and instead accepted the fact of losing the Club World Cup final.
Bayern finally defeated the Quito University Sports Team 2-0 without any danger and won the first Club World Cup championship in the club's history!
Su Dong was selected as the best player of the final with one pass and one goal. He was also selected as the best player of this year's Club World Cup with five goals and one assist, and received a Toyota sedan as a prize.
Su Dong has his own sponsors, and Bayern also has its own sponsors, so for this Toyota sedan, Su Dong chose to cash it out.
He asked the sponsor to redeem the money on the spot and donated it to UNICEF.
As the global ambassador of the foundation, Su Dong has been working hard for the foundation over the years and has frequently attended their events. Not only has he donated himself, he has also used his influence to call on all parties to donate.
In addition to UNICEF, Su Dong was also generous in China, and his donations were even greater. However, he was low-key and only acted through Ma Dawei, rarely announcing them to the public, which led to his low reputation.
…
After defeating Sport Universidad de Quito, Bayern won the first Club World Cup in the club's history in Japan and returned to Munich in triumph, where they were warmly welcomed by Bayern fans.
Excited Bayern fans shouted Su Dong's name to thank him for his contribution to the club, and also hoped that the team could continue to work hard.
Afterwards, the club held a special celebration banquet, which was both a Christmas dinner and a celebration of the team's winning of the half-time championship and the Club World Cup.
At the celebration banquet, Rummenigge and Hoeness both called on the team to keep up the good work and strive to defend the Bundesliga title and even the Champions League title this year!
And this is what Su Dong hoped for.
He never forgot his goal of joining Bayern.
Champions League three consecutive titles!
