Chapter 648: Su Dong specializes in dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction!
While Wenger was racking his brains in London over how to contain Su Dong, on Sebenastrasse in Munich, Su Dong and Bayern's first-team players were also discussing the results of the draw.
Drawing Arsenal is also not a good result for Bayern.
Of course, none of the teams that make it to the quarterfinals of the Champions League are easy to deal with.
Even teams like Porto and Villarreal are also very difficult to deal with.
It can be said that in the knockout stage of the Champions League, it is purely a contest of strength and on-the-spot performance. It is absolutely wishful thinking to want to win simply by luck.
Isn’t there a saying?
Opportunities also come to those who are prepared.
"It's so unlucky that we drew Arsenal. Every time we play against Premier League teams, it's very difficult." Schweinsteiger complained depressedly, obviously still having lingering fears about Premier League teams.
England and Germany have always been rivals, which makes the competition between the Premier League and the Bundesliga always particularly fierce.
As the Bundesliga giants, Bayern, while dominating German football, naturally also shoulders the burden of challenging the Premier League. Once they perform poorly, they will immediately be under strong pressure from public opinion at home, and even ruthlessly criticized.
"Arsenal's statistics this year are good, especially at home. I just checked their statistics. Their home record this season is very good. From 2009 to now, in more than three months, they have not conceded a single goal at home." Modric praised in amazement.
"Is this true?" everyone exclaimed.
It has been more than three months now, and we have played many home games. It is not surprising to say that we have won all the games. Bayern has also won all the home games, but the problem is that they have not conceded any goals, which is really amazing.
Modric is a cautious person who never brags, unlike Marcelo and Ribery, who always speak with a bit of exaggeration. His teammates quickly believed what the Croatian midfielder said.
"Is it that we haven't conceded a goal in the Premier League? Or in all the games?" Lahm asked with concern.
"All the games," Modric replied. "If you only look at the Champions League, they haven't conceded a goal in any of their home games in the Champions League so far this season!"
Everyone exclaimed again, this is too outrageous, right? "Is Arsenal's defense so strong?" Robben couldn't help but ask.
He is from Chelsea in the Premier League and has a deep impression of Arsenal, but in his impression, Arsenal's defense has never been so strong. If Manchester United, which has Vidic and Ferdinand, can achieve such results, it is understandable, but Arsenal...
Well, the Gunners do give people the impression of being a bit weak.
"They have been unbeaten in 23 consecutive home games in the Champions League so far, and they have also conceded a goal at home so far this season, so this game is really difficult," Modric emphasized again.
He almost joined Arsenal at the beginning and had a good impression of the team.
Everyone nodded, and some even gasped.
Damn, they are unbeaten in 23 consecutive home games in the Champions League, that's really amazing.
What’s even more impressive is that they have not conceded a single goal at home in the Champions League so far this season.
Of course, if we have to argue, there are indeed not many home games in the Champions League in a season. Since Arsenal has to play in the peripheral qualifiers, they have one more home game than Bayern, and a total of five home games so far, which is actually not too many.
But you have to remember, this is the Champions League.
Moreover, Arsenal has been unbeaten in 23 home games in the Champions League, which is definitely an amazing psychological advantage.
Sometimes, a football match is like this, it is the players who play, and what determines the players' performance is their psychological quality.
…
Su Dong sat aside, watching the draw silently and listening to his teammates chatting. Seeing that everyone seemed to be intimidated by Arsenal, he immediately looked around and suddenly asked, "Who is the main force of Arsenal's defense?"
When everyone heard this, they turned to look at Su Dong.
Modric was stunned for a moment, then he immediately understood.
Isn’t it?
How can we boost Arsenal's morale and destroy our own prestige at this time? "Normally, the main left back is Clichy, the central defenders are Gallas and Kolo Toure, and the right back is Sagna." Modric had just checked the information and was quite familiar with Arsenal.
After hearing this, Su Dong burst out laughing.
"I forgot that Senderos is no longer at Arsenal."
Everyone laughed when they heard this. The matter between Su Dong and Senderos was known to everyone in Bayern. It was something known to the whole world. No one else could be so good at playing football that could cause psychological trauma to the opponent except Su Dong.
"I remember that this season Arsenal's defense seemed to have a young black player named Djokovic. He was very strong and about 1.9 meters tall. Maybe Wenger will let him deal with you," said Pepe.
Su Dong smiled and nodded, "It's okay, Gallas and Kolo Toure are my old opponents. I have experience against them. If I use Djokovic, it will be even better. I just want to try and see how his body compares to Senderos."
Su Dong spoke with great pride, and his teammates felt relieved after hearing it.
Isn’t it?
Arsenal’s home record is indeed very good, but Bayern has Su Dong.
Looking at the entire European football world, is there any top team in the Soviet Union that has never scored a goal? Didn't Arsenal concede a clean sheet this season?
Su Dong specializes in scoring goals against teams like this!
Just like in the recent match against Leverkusen, Adler hadn't been scored by a long shot for nearly two years. As a result, Su Dong not only scored, but also scored a very beautiful, super long-distance shot of nearly 40 meters, which almost made Adler collapse.
Just for this matter, Neuer specially invited Su Dong to dinner.
Since then, Neuer has been practicing free kicks and long shots with Su Dong every day.
Why? Because they are scared! Su Dong is good at dealing with all kinds of dissatisfaction!
"Since we've been drawn against Arsenal, don't think too much. If the central defender combination is Gallas and Kolo Toure, we will play more high balls and I will receive the ball with my back more often. If Djokovic starts, we will make Wenger regret underestimating us!"
Everyone in Bayern cheered.

…………
This weekend, in the 24th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern will challenge Bochum away.
Su Dong dared to make such harsh words, not because he was bragging, but because he had absolute confidence in his own strength.
In the 13th minute of the game, Su Dong got the ball, dribbled past four opposing players, and shot from near the penalty spot, penetrating the Bochum goal and scoring the first goal for Bayern.
In the 32nd minute, in a corner kick opportunity, Lucio headed the ball out of the penalty area, and Modric followed up with a volley and scored again, scoring another goal for Bayern, 2-0.
After the second half, the game just started. Su Dong rushed into the penalty area with the ball and was fouled by the opponent's central defender Pfertzer. The referee was very observant and directly sent Pfertzer off with a red card and gave Bayern a penalty kick.
Su Dong gave the penalty to Robben, and the Dutchman scored in one fell swoop, scoring another goal for Bayern, making it 3-0.
Afterwards, Robben assisted Lahm to score a goal. In the final stage of the game, Schweinsteiger took a free kick and Pepe headed the ball into the goal, securing the victory for Bayern.
In the end, Bayern won 5-0 against Bochum away from home.

A week later, in the 25th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern played against Karlsruhe at home.
Just eleven minutes into the game, Ribery made a cross from the left into the penalty area. Su Dong met the ball and made a wonderful volley to break the deadlock for Bayern, one to zero!
Bayern then launched a fierce attack on Karlsruhe.
In the 34th minute, Ribery made another pass from the left wing, Su Dong passed the ball, drove straight into the penalty area, and shot into the near corner, scoring another goal for Bayern, 2-0! This score remained until the end of the game, Bayern defeated Karlsruhe 2-0 at home and won again.
Su Dong also scored twice in this game, scoring his 40th goal in the Bundesliga this season, leading the scorer list and even far ahead of all his competitors.
You know, so far this season, apart from Sudong, the second player on the Bundesliga scorer list is still Ibisevic, who has only scored half of Sudong's goals so far, and the Hoffenheim center has been seriously injured and absent since the winter break.
Afterwards, neither Grafite, Helmes, Gomez nor Dzeko could catch up with Ibisevic, let alone Sudon who was twice as good as Ibisevic.
When Su Dong scored more than 40 goals again, the German media hyped it up and the media in other European countries also paid attention to it. Many media believed that Su Dong's performance in the Bundesliga was purely about poverty alleviation through technology.
Given the situation in the Bundesliga and Bayern's dominance, Su Dong poses no challenge at all in the Bundesliga.
…
On April 4, in the 25th and 26th round of the Bundesliga, Bayern will challenge Wolfsburg away.
As Bayern were about to travel to London to challenge Arsenal in the middle of the week, Heynckes did not give his best in this match. Ribery and Robben were both kept on the bench, and Sudon only played for 60 minutes and scored one goal for Bayern.
But after players such as Sudon and Schweinsteiger left the field, Wolfsburg took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and reversed Bayern Munich 2-1 at home, causing the Bundesliga giants to suffer their second defeat of the season.
However, the German media generally reacted coldly to this.
Everyone can see that Bayern's focus is on the Champions League match against Arsenal, and they don't care much about the Bundesliga match against Wolfsburg. After all, in the Bundesliga, Bayern has basically locked up the championship in advance.
…
When Bayern suffered a defeat in the Bundesliga, Arsenal played at home against Manchester City in the 31st round of the Premier League, and defeated the visiting Blue Moon 2-0 at home with Adebayor's two goals.
Fabregas performed well and assisted Adebayor's goals twice.
This is Arsenal's seventh consecutive home clean sheet since 2009. So far, the home goal has not been breached. If the Champions League is included, the home record of not conceding a goal has extended to twelfth games.
This is also a very shocking number.
While the media and fans across Europe were marveling at Arsenal's outstanding home record, no one noticed that a group of uninvited guests appeared in the VIP box of the Emirates Stadium during the Gunners' match against Manchester City.
