Chapter 645: Su Dong's Pendulum
When the French referee Beljan Rajek blew the whistle to end the game, the Alvalade Stadium completely lost its cheers and became dead silent.
Zero to six, the scoreboard showed a shocking score.
Bayern completed a brutal and bloody massacre against Sporting Lisbon away from home.
In the first half, when Sudon scored a goal, the fans of Sporting Lisbon were still cheering and applauding. Even before the end of the first half, when Ribery scored another goal, they could still accept it. But in the second half, when Bayern scored consecutively, they all stopped cheering and even became very frustrated.
Su Dong only scored the first goal, but assisted three goals.
Ribery and Robben both scored twice, and Klose also scored a goal.
It can be said that this game was a great harvest for Bayern's offense.
Bayern Munich advanced to the quarterfinals after defeating Sporting Lisbon 6-0 away from home.
I knew the defending champion was strong, but I never imagined he would be this strong.
So much so that when the game ended, many Sporting Lisbon players found it hard to accept, and the 22-year-old captain Moutinho squatted on the field, looking very painful.
This defeat was worse and more cruel than the 5-2 defeat to Barcelona in the previous group stage.
In that match, they at least played threateningly and showed their characteristics, but in this match against Bayern, apart from the opening 20 minutes when they had the advantage in attack, they were passive and overwhelmed throughout the rest of the time.
The Champions League group stage gave them confidence and courage, making them feel that they might have a chance to advance to the quarterfinals.
But the first leg of the round of 16 knockout match against Bayern made them see the reality clearly.
Facing the powerful Bayern, they were completely defenseless, let alone fighting back.
…
Su Dong walked over and patted Moutinho's shoulder comfortingly, but walked away without saying anything.
Paulo Bento stood on the sidelines very depressed, looking at Su Dong who was slowly walking down with a complicated expression.
Before the game, he was still in the mood to joke with Su Dong, but now, he wanted to kill someone.
Damn, can’t you just kick more slowly?
Yes, you just scored one goal, but you assisted three goals!
This is the most difficult part of Sudong.
Not only can he score goals himself, but when he is contained, he can also change his role and help his teammates score goals.
How can anyone deal with a player like this?
Su Dong felt the resentful look in Paulo Bento's eyes. He really couldn't tell the other party that he had actually been holding back. If he had tried his best, Sporting Lisbon would have lost even more miserably.
Why? Because the two central defenders Polgar and Toner couldn't stop him at all!
It can be seen that even now, Sporting Lisbon has not completely filled the vacancy left by Pepe.
How could such a defense stop Su Dong? After a thousand words, Su Dong could only walk over, pat Paulo Bento on the shoulder, and turned away.
He believed that Paulo Bento must have also seen that Sporting Lisbon's defense was very problematic.
It would be fine if the central defender couldn't stop Su Dong, but he couldn't defend the midfield and backcourt at all. The key is that if the defense is not good, just play conservatively.
No, Sporting Lisbon still played quite freely.
This is the case with the Portuguese Super League. It is deeply influenced by the Latin American football style and does not always pay much attention to defense. But precisely because of this, coaches like Mourinho and Boloni who pay attention to defense have better results in the Portuguese Super League.
…
All eight games of the first round of the Champions League round of 16 knockout stage have been played, and everyone was surprised to find that the eight home teams had two wins, four draws and two losses, which basically reflects the pattern of the round of 16 knockout stage.
When the group leader plays away against the group runner-up, a draw is equivalent to the leader having a slight advantage, especially in terms of away goals.
The opponents who won at home were Arsenal and Chelsea, both Premier League teams did not play well in the Champions League group stage.
The teams that lost at home were Real Madrid and Sporting Lisbon. Real Madrid lost 0-1 to Liverpool, and the possibility of a comeback is really slim, while Sporting Lisbon lost its qualification in just one round, losing 0-5 to Bayern at home.
Su Dong returned to the Alvalade Stadium after an absence of six years. Although he did not score a goal, he was selected as the best player of the game because he shot one goal and made three assists, performed an assist hat trick, and created four goals.
This victory also shocked the entire European football world.
Everyone is clearly aware that Bayern, led by Su Dong, is still extremely powerful this season.
…………
…………
On the afternoon of March 1, 2009, in the 22nd round of the Bundesliga, Bayern challenged Werder Bremen away.
Just one minute and thirty-one seconds into the game, Werder Bremen's number ten player Diego quickly counterattacked with the ball and tried to pass it to his number eleven teammate in the midfield. Suddenly, Mascherano rushed up, decisively snatched the ball, and quickly passed it to Modric.
After Modric got the ball, he launched a counterattack on the spot and sent a through ball.
Su Dong ran to the left side of Mertesacker, blocked the Bremen central defender with his body, stopped Modric's pass, and used his speed to break through Mertesacker. He sprinted with the ball and headed straight for Bremen's penalty area.
Naldo chased back into the penalty area in time, trying to block Su Dong's shooting angle.
But Su Dong suddenly stopped, moved the ball to the left, and kicked a curve ball with his left foot.
The ball made an arc and went straight to the upper left corner of the goal.
Goalkeeper Van der Leyen, who was squatting on the right side of the goal, was powerless and could only watch the ball go into the net.
One to zero!
…
Just four minutes after Su Dong scored the goal, Ribery was intercepted while dribbling on the left and Werder Bremen launched a counterattack on the spot.
But as soon as the ball crossed the center line, Schweinsteiger snatched it back.
After grabbing the ball, the Bayern midfielder looked forward and quickly made a low pass.
The ball was accurately passed to the back of Naldo and Mertesacker, and Su Dong quickly sprinted forward after offside.
At this moment, Naldo and Mertesacker were left behind by Su Dong, and his advantages in turning and speed were fully utilized.
Su Dong rushed to the front of the penalty area and caught up with the ball before goalkeeper Van der Leyen. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Van der Leyen, Su Dong made a flexible series of feints, and his whole body swayed left and right like a pendulum. After easily deceiving Van der Leyen, he easily pushed the ball into the empty goal, making it 2-0!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"A double goal! Su Dong scored a double goal!"
"Less than six minutes into the game, Su Dong has already scored two goals for Bayern!"
"Especially the second goal, it looked like Ronaldo's famous trick, the pendulum pass."
"We really have to admire that Su Dong, who is so tall and strong, has such amazing speed and flexibility, and can perform difficult moves like the pendulum pass."
"Su Dong looks to be in excellent condition!"
"Bayern is likely to win a big victory tonight!"
…
It seemed to confirm what the commentator said.
In the 13th minute of the first half, Bayern once again had a great chance.
After Robben and Lahm lost the ball in the frontcourt, they launched a counterattack on the spot. Robben cooperated with Lahm to grab the ball, and Lahm passed it to Su Dong who was waiting on the right side of the penalty area.
When Su Dong stopped the ball, there was no one defending around.
He stopped the ball and turned around. Naldo rushed over first. Su Dong quickly dribbled the ball back and passed it with his left foot. The whole process was easy and calm.
In the middle, Modric made a run and faced Su Dong's cross pass, and he pushed the ball into Werder Bremen's goal.
Three to zero! The Croatian midfielder was so excited that he forgot everything and kept cheering.
With the popularity of the European Cup, Modric has gradually entered the mainstream vision of the European league. Especially as Bayern's performance becomes more and more outstanding, Modric's role has also been increasingly valued.
Although Schweinsteiger is the most praised in the midfield, everyone can see that Modric also played an indispensable role.
The Croatian midfielder's best ability is dribbling forward, and scoring goals has never been his forte.
But precisely because of this, he would be excited for a long time after scoring a goal.
…
Just three minutes after Modric scored, Bayern once again counterattacked in the frontcourt, forcing the Bremen defender to make a mistake in passing the ball, and the ball was directly passed to Schweinsteiger who was pressing.
Of course, the little pig was not polite. After getting the ball, he drove straight into the penalty area. However, outside the penalty area, Naldo ran over to defend and had no choice but to foul Schweinsteiger.
The referee gave a red card without hesitation! The reason was simple, Naldo was the last defensive player.
It can be said that Naldo's defense this time was entirely due to his teammates' mistakes.
But precisely because of Naldo's red card, Schaff immediately strengthened the defense, and the entire team retreated directly to their own half, or even to their own 30-meter area, allowing Bayern to attack.
Leading by three goals, Bayern played very patiently against Werder Bremen's defense, which allowed Werder Bremen to hold on to the score until the end of the game.
In the end, Bayern defeated Werder Bremen 3-0 at home thanks to Su Dong's two shots and one assist.
At the post-match press conference, Heynckes complained that Werder Bremen played too conservatively.
Schaff responded as if he was a fool: "If I had eleven men on the field, I would still insist on attacking."
"When you had eleven players, the score was already three to zero!" Heynckes retorted.
Scharf was so angry that he jumped up from his seat and left angrily.
Damn it, not only did he win the game, he also attacked the opponent like this, old man, can't you be more graceful? Heynckes was happy, shaking his head, looking aggrieved, "I don't understand why he is angry, just because I told the truth?"
The reporters burst into laughter, but in their hearts they probably all raised their middle fingers.
Nimei, it’s already this time, why are you still pretending to be innocent?
You, old man, are full of bad intentions. Who in the German football world doesn't know that?
Can you swear that those words just now were not meant to add insult to injury and step on Schaff?
You are simply trying to kill Schaff!
