Chapter 639: Su Dong, your tricks are so deep!
Bayern finally lost! This news spread throughout the German football world overnight, and even went beyond the circle, triggering heated discussions throughout the European football world.
Since the beginning of this season, Bayern's performance has been outstanding. They have won 17 consecutive Bundesliga games and won the half-season championship with a perfect record. This is an unprecedented miracle in the history of the Bundesliga. The front trident led by Su Dong, Ribery and Robben has injected powerful firepower into the team on the offensive end.
Bayern's outstanding performance made the entire Bundesliga feel desperate, and its competitors surrendered one after another. When the outside world talked about the Bundesliga, most people still believed that Bayern stood out in the Bundesliga.
Is the Bundesliga really that weak? It's useless to say anything, let the results speak for themselves.
In the Champions League, Bayern continued its excellent performance in the Bundesliga, continuing to lead the pack and overpowering Real Madrid, winning the top spot in the group early on and qualifying. If it weren't for Bayern's "help", Real Madrid would probably have had difficulty even qualifying.
As for the other two teams participating in the Champions League, Schalke 04 met Atletico Madrid in the qualifiers and was eliminated, which is understandable. Werder Bremen's performance in the group stage was also remarkable. Although it only got third place, it won one and drew one in the two games with Inter Milan, and its performance was also outstanding.
In the UEFA Cup, Schalke, who was eliminated by Atletico Madrid, defeated APOEL 5-1 in two rounds. Although they were grouped together with Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, Racing Santander and Twente in the subsequent group stage and were eliminated at the bottom, their points were comparable to the top four teams.
Wolfsburg beat AC Milan, Braga, Portsmouth and Heerenveen in the group stage and qualified as the group leader. French midfielder Las Diarra, who transferred to Real Madrid during the winter break, attracted the attention of Real Madrid because of his outstanding performance in Portsmouth. As a result, he played in the UEFA Cup and his registration for the Champions League was restricted.
Hamburg was placed in the same group as Ajax, Aston Villa and other teams, and also advanced as the group leader.
Looking at the performance of Bundesliga teams in European competitions, they are actually not bad compared to teams in the other four major leagues.
Bild analyzed that the competition in the Bundesliga is very fierce. For example, in the 18th round, Bayern was slightly careless and was immediately defeated by Hamburg, suffering its first defeat of the new season.
The reason why the Bundesliga gives people the illusion that Bayern is the only team that stands out and other teams are too weak is that it is not that other teams in the Bundesliga are too weak, but that Bayern is too strong.
Su Dong, Ribery and Robben form a trident, Klose and Podolski can only be substitutes, Schweinsteiger, Modric, Mascherano, Tymoshchuk, Toni Kroos, which of these players is not a strong or young talent? Not to mention the defense line, Pepe, Lucio, Lahm, Marcelo, these are all scrambled for by other European giants, even Demichelis, Van Buyten and other famous players can only play as substitutes in Bayern.
Bild concluded that it was not that the Bundesliga was too weak, but that Bayern was too strong! But regardless of whether it was strong or weak, Bayern lost! This is definitely a big happy event worth celebrating for the Bundesliga team.
How despairing it would be if Bayern continued to win like this?
After the game against Hamburg, Heynckes said in an interview with the media that losing to Hamburg away was part of his plan, because several players, including Su Dong, did not play.
Why didn't you appear?
The reason given by Heynckes was that adjustments were needed after the winter training camp, but the actual reason was very simple: miscalculation.
…………
…………
The next day, when the outside world was predicting the defeat of Bayern, Bayern players arrived at Sebena Street one after another, only to find that everyone in the locker room was still smiling, and no one cared at all about last night's defeat.
Su Dong still arrived at the training ground early and hid in the gym to practice extra. Others arrived later and participated in the routine recovery training on the morning of the second day of the competition on time. Everyone was talking and laughing.
But no one wants to mention last night's loss.
After all, the game was indeed lost.
According to Bayern's original plan, they have a clear advantage in the league and a high tolerance rate, so they can play more freely.
It's not that Bayern is overconfident. With a perfect record in the first half, it is almost certain that Bayern will win the Bundesliga title unless there is a major collapse in the second half. Therefore, the coaching staff means to concentrate their forces and play well in the German Cup match against Stuttgart first.
After all, it was a decisive match.
The Bundesliga will rotate players in the 18th round, so they need to conserve their energy to prepare for the Champions League round of 16 against Sporting Lisbon in February.
Yes, this time it was just as the outside world wished, Su Dong drew his old club, Sporting Lisbon.
But man proposes, God disposes. Stuttgart played so badly in the first half that they gave up the German Cup directly. As a result, Bayern's best effort hit the cotton ball. Although they won 5-0, they made the mistake of using a cannon to hit a sparrow.
There was no other way, so Bayern could only make the best of their mistake when they traveled north to Hamburg at the weekend, which resulted in a 0-1 defeat.
Bayern's strategic goal was to continue to advance in the German Cup and the Bundesliga at the same pace. The goal was achieved, but they lost their winning streak in the Bundesliga, but that's no big deal.
After stopping the winning streak, Bayern players became more relaxed.
…
Bayern lost 0-1, and Hoffenheim beat Cottbus 2-0.
A very interesting phenomenon has appeared in the Bundesliga this season. Except for Bayern, all other strong teams and quasi-strong teams are basically finished.
Werder Bremen, yes, the team that defeated Inter Milan, is currently ranked tenth in the Bundesliga.
Schalke 04, the team that was fighting fiercely with Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and other teams, is now ranked ninth.
There is also Wolfsburg, which beat AC Milan and won the first place in the UEFA Cup group. Yes, that's you, Wolfsburg, currently ranked eighth.
Stuttgart ranks seventh, Dortmund ranks sixth, Leverkusen ranks fifth, Hamburg ranks fourth, and above them are Hertha Berlin, Hoffenheim, and Bayern Munich at the top of the list.
Analyzing the reasons, fighting on multiple fronts is the reason why teams such as Werder Bremen, Schalke 04 and Wolfsburg have performed poorly in the Bundesliga, but teams such as Hoffenheim, Hertha Berlin and Hamburg have indeed performed very strongly this season.
Now, several other teams have begun to adjust their strategies after the winter break, and I believe their performance in the second half will improve.
This weekend, in the 19th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern will host Dortmund at home.
In addition to being a powerful dialogue, this also has a very special meaning.
That is, Su Dong will show his newly won World Footballer of the Year trophy to all Bayern fans, including Bundesliga fans in front of TV, at the first home game of the new season. This is the first time in the history of the Bundesliga and Bayern.
The German Football Association, the Bundesliga and Bayern all announced early on that they would hold a ceremony on site to celebrate for Su Dong.
After all, this is not only Su Dong's personal honor, but also the honor of Bayern, the Bundesliga, and even the entire German football.
But Klopp is definitely a strong spoiler.
…
"Su, I strongly suggest that you reward us all in advance."
When Su Dong finished his training in the gym and returned to the locker room, everyone was discussing the game against Dortmund. Pepe made a suggestion with a smile and received a response from everyone.
"What's the meaning?"
"What I mean is that in the 20th round we are going to Berlin, and you have to invite us to the red light district for team building." Marcelo interrupted Pepe and said with a smile.
There was a sudden burst of laughter in the locker room.
This guy is always obsessed with the red light district, especially the red light district in Berlin.
"I don't care, but if you go to Berlin's red light district and are photographed by media reporters, it will have nothing to do with me." Su Dong was quite generous.
This little money is nothing to him.
Everyone shook their heads and laughed. If they really acted like this, what would the newspapers write? "Don't listen to Marcelo's nonsense. What we mean is that this weekend's game is very important to you, right?" Pepe pushed Marcelo away and analyzed seriously.
Su Dong saw that all his teammates were staring at him, and he immediately smiled, but shook his head, "It's not important."
"How can it be unimportant?" Pepe was stunned. Why didn't they follow the script? "I've already got the award. What does losing have to do with me? Right? If we lose the game, will FIFA be able to take my award back? Besides, I didn't organize the celebration ceremony. You can find whoever is going to organize it!"
Oh shit!
I didn't expect you to be such a bachelor, Su Dong!
Is this still the Su Dong we know? Everyone looked at Pepe and Marcelo with amusement. In fact, they were the only two who dared to make such a scene with Su Dong.
The reason is simple. Pepe is Su Dong's best friend. Marcelo has always been a shameless guy, and he has a close relationship with Su Dong, so most of the time, they come forward to seek benefits for their teammates.
But I didn't expect that Su Dong would be so single this time.
Caught off guard! Caught off guard!
"So, you really don't plan to reward us all?" Pepe was also a little confused.
This was totally unlike the Su Dong he was familiar with.
Does he care about this little money? Unexpectedly, Su Dong nodded without hesitation and said very firmly: "Yes, it is absolutely not okay to reward him."
Not only Pepe was surprised, but everyone else was also surprised.
What happened to Su Dong? Did he suffer a broken heart?
Just when everyone was stunned, Su Dong changed the subject and chuckled, "At least two times, or three times. You guys can do it as many times as you like, but not just one!"
When everyone heard this, they fell down one after another.
Damn, this is a trick! Even Pepe and Marcelo gnashed their teeth and wanted to rush over to kill him.
The other players in the locker room also started to make a fuss, thinking that this kid was just teasing them on purpose.
In the end, Su Dong finally gave in in front of the United Front and agreed to hold a team building event at a high-end restaurant in downtown Munich, where he would cover all food and drink expenses.
In fact, this had already been part of Su Dong's plan.
After all, after winning the World Footballer of the Year, the team has been in training and has had no time for team building. This is a good opportunity to do some team building, to get in touch with teammates and strive to defeat Klopp's Dortmund at the weekend.
