Chapter 665 No one understands Su Dong better than me!
On the evening of May 20th, at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.
In the German Cup final, Werder Bremen faced Bayern Munich.
The game is about to start.
Former Bayern striker Pizarro and former Porto striker Almeida stood in the center circle, waiting for the kick-off.
Su Dong stood outside the center circle. The rain had completely soaked his jersey. He had to wipe the rain off his face from time to time.
This is going to be a very bad rain battle!
But that's how it is in Berlin at this time of year.
Su Dong is no stranger to Pizarro and Almeida. The former was once a player of Bayern, and the latter is the center forward promoted by Mourinho in Porto. He also played with Su Dong in the Portuguese Super League.
There was a time when Portugal wanted to call Sudong into the national team, but failed, so they let Almeida replace Sudong, because he was also very tall and strong, and was also highly expected by the Portuguese football world.
But in the end, Almeida failed to grow into what everyone expected.
Just a week ago, the Spanish King's Cup was held as scheduled. Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao 4-1 and won the King's Cup championship without any trouble, achieving the double championship.
Mourinho's team is only one Champions League away from winning the treble.
It was also after this final that Mourinho issued a high-profile challenge to Bayern Munich, threatening to defeat Bayern in Rome.
Not only that, Mourinho also said that he has confidence in Barcelona's defense and firmly believes that the team can defend Su Dong because Barcelona has the best defensive players in Europe.
"When I met Su Dong, he was just an unknown rookie. I watched him transform from a rookie to a star. No one knows him better than me, and no one knows how to defend him better than me."
"Really, I won't let Su Dong score at the Olympic Stadium in Rome!"
As for Barcelona, Mourinho said that Messi will become the team's decisive player.
"He is more talented than Su Dong!"
It is obvious that Barcelona is one step ahead of Bayern on the road to the treble.
…
As the referee blew the whistle, Almeida and Pizarro took the lead in kicking off.
Inside the stadium, fans of both teams gave deafening cheers.
Diego was very active from the start.
The Brazilian midfielder is one of the best performing midfielders in the Bundesliga this season, but just a few days ago, Werder Bremen officially announced that Diego transferred to Juventus in Serie A for a high price of 25 million euros.
That is to say, Diego will leave Werder Bremen after the end of this season.
Before the game, Diego said that he was very grateful for all the help he had received at Werder Bremen. He hoped to leave a championship for the team, so he would do his best to help Werder Bremen beat Bayern in the German Cup final.
At the beginning of the game, Diego showed a very sharp threat, leading Werder Bremen's attacking group to launch a fierce attack on Bayern and creating a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
Diego took the free kick himself and accurately sent the ball into the penalty area. Center back Pledel got the ball and headed it into the goal.
Neuer was very focused and reacted quickly enough to hit the ball with one hand, barely defusing the crisis.
After that, Werder Bremen continued to maintain offensive pressure on Bayern.
Schaaf's teams have always been known for their offense, and tonight was no exception.
In the 11th minute, Neuer rushed out of the penalty area, stole Werder Bremen's through pass, and quickly passed the ball to his teammate.
But Werder Bremen suddenly intensified their pressing, and Frings successfully intercepted the ball. Seeing that Neuer was a little far from the goal, he made a long-range lob shot straight towards the goal.
Neuer quickly returned to defense and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand, making everyone break out in a cold sweat.
Heynckes could only rush to the sidelines and signal Neuer not to take any more risks.
I have to say that this German goalkeeper is very strong, and he is really outstanding when he performs well, but he is a bit reckless. He likes to attack, like to dive, and like to dribble the ball, which are taboos for a goalkeeper, but he enjoys playing them.
Speaking of footwork, Neuer, as a goalkeeper, is really good.
But unfortunately, Heynckes is old and has a bad heart, so he can't stand him playing like this.
…
One characteristic of Bayern under Heynckes' coaching is that they are good at striking back.
In the first ten minutes of the game, Werder Bremen had an overwhelming advantage, but Bayern gradually stabilized their position, slowly turned the situation around, and soon organized a threatening counterattack.
Lahm dribbled the ball straight into the right side of Bremen's penalty area without cooperating with anyone.
This sudden attack from behind startled everyone in Bremen.
After rushing to the right side of the penalty area, Bremen's left-back Bernisch was only concerned with blocking Lahm's cross, trying to cut off Lahm's passing line to Su Dong. Unexpectedly, Lahm suddenly dribbled the ball back and passed it back to Robben at the front of the penalty area.
The Dutchman stopped the ball with his left foot, made a slight adjustment, dribbled past Naldo, and shot directly.
But the shot failed to create a threat and was caught by goalkeeper Wiese who fell to the ground.
Although they failed to score a goal, this attack also created momentum for Bayern.
Just four minutes later, Bayern made a comeback.
After the attack on the left failed, Schweinsteiger and Modric made consecutive cross-passes, with Modric crossing the center line and passing the ball to Lahm on the right.
After Lahm received the ball, he passed it straight again. Robben stopped the ball in the 30-meter area, faced Bernisch, and first took a series of small steps to adjust, then suddenly dribbled the ball sideways and cut inside.
Robben suddenly cut inside, shook off Bernisch, attracted the attention of Baumann and Naldo, and on the right side of the penalty area, he made a straight pass with his left foot to behind Naldo.
Su Dong suddenly cut in from the top of the arc and ran behind Naldo at an incredible speed. After getting the ball, he rushed past Pledel's defense and rushed to the right side of the small penalty area with the ball. Facing goalkeeper Wiese, Su Dong made a fake move and suddenly pushed the ball into the near corner.
Wiese reacted quickly and tried to block the ball with his foot, but was a little slow.
The ball hit the right post and went into Werder Bremen's goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the 16th minute, Bayern scored the first goal!"
"A goal from Su Dong, one to zero!!!"
Su Dong was soaked all over, but he ran all the way out of the stadium and headed straight to the stands where Bayern fans were.
Tens of thousands of Bayern fans throughout the stadium were shouting Su Dong's name in unison, and the momentum was very huge.
…
With Su Dong's goal, Werder Bremen gradually slowed down its offensive.
Obviously, Schaff and his players were also well aware that continuing to attack would only allow Bayern to score more goals.
The situation of the game gradually turned around and Bayern began to show enough patience.
The first half ended with a score of 1-0.
But at the beginning of the second half, Werder Bremen could no longer sit still.
They started with a wave of attacks at the beginning, trying to get a goal.
But Bayern was just waiting for Werder Bremen to press forward.
First, Su Dong received a long pass from the backcourt, then turned around and passed the ball to Robben. Robben dribbled the ball and took on two opponents. He directly knocked down Werder Bremen's Frings on the left, broke through Bernisch on the right side of the penalty area and shot.
Although it was saved by goalkeeper Wiese, Robben's wonderful performance was breathtaking.
Just three minutes later, there was another counterattack from the backcourt. After Su Dong received the ball sideways, he dribbled forward and just crossed the center line, attracting the attention of Pledel and Naldo, and passed the ball diagonally behind him.
Ribery quickly inserted himself from behind, drove straight into the goal with the ball, and scored with a single shot, scoring another goal for Bayern.
After scoring the goal, the French scarface player rushed directly to the sidelines, fell on the wet grass, and slid off the field.
Bayern players also rushed over to celebrate the goal for him.
Robben was relatively depressed. His performance was better, but he was not lucky in his shots tonight.
…
After Bayern took a two-goal lead, especially when the game reached the 60th minute, Werder Bremen had no choice but to go all out and intensify its attack, while Bayern began to steadily adopt a defensive counterattack strategy.
The two sides exchanged blows and the game was very intense.
It was not until the 73rd minute that Bayern launched another quick counterattack.
Modric cooperated with Lahm on the right. After receiving the pass, he took a look at the penalty area and made a direct diagonal pass to the left side of the penalty area.
Su Dong quickly came from behind, and with the help of Pledel, he managed to stop the ball with his chest. Before he lost his balance and fell to the ground, he kicked the ball.
The ball traveled in a straight line and went into the lower right corner of Werder Bremen's goal.
Goalkeeper Wiese only focused on the near corner and ignored the far corner.
Three to zero! "GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"It's Su Dong again!"
"Pledel was completely entangled with him, but he still seized the opportunity and scored a goal."
"Score twice! Ribery's goal just now was also assisted by Su Dong!"
“Three to zero!”
"Bayern looked like they had the upper hand, but Werder Bremen fell to Bayern once again."
"Su Dong also continued his excellent form since the winter break and was simply unstoppable."
…
Although Bremen tried to fight back in the final stages, it was ultimately unsuccessful.
Heynckes's deployment of the troops was quite sophisticated and stable, not giving Schaff any chance at all. This left Bremen helpless and they dared not press forward rashly, for fear of being counterattacked and losing more goals, which would be even more embarrassing.
In the end, in this German Cup final that was highly watched by the German football world and even the entire European football world, Bayern defeated Werder Bremen 3-0 with Su Dong's two goals and successfully defended the German Cup title.
This will make the Champions League final interesting.
Bayern and Barcelona have both won the league and cup titles, and are waiting for the Champions League title to complete the treble.
After the game, Su Dong also responded to Mourinho's various provocations before the game in his first media interview.
He said that Messi is indeed the most talented superstar he has ever seen.
"He is a phenomenal player and we cannot overestimate him. He will be the most threatening player for Barcelona."
Su Dong was quite polite to himself and his little followers, but he was not polite to Mourinho.
"He would say this before every match with me, but after every match, he would find a lot of reasons and excuses to explain why he lost. I'm used to it!"
Su Dong smiled and stepped on Mourinho.
