Chapter 673 Su Dong, please accept my knees!
At the beginning of the second half, the situation changed completely.
Barcelona took the initiative and tried to launch a wave of attacks.
Less than two minutes into the game, Barcelona's midfielder made a threatening pass, which Xavi passed directly behind Lahm and Lucio. Eto'o quickly got the ball and cut into the penalty area. Facing Lucio, he used his speed to get rid of the Brazilian central defender. Just as he was about to shoot, he found that Neuer had left the goal and directly hugged his shot.
Barcelona's attack was so threatening that it made everyone at the scene break out in a cold sweat.
Soon, Barcelona's midfielder intercepted the ball again and launched a counterattack on the spot. Eto'o passed the ball directly to Messi in the penalty area, but Pepe's speed of returning to defense was also very fast. He kicked the ball out of bounds before Messi, and also knocked Messi down with him.
Barcelona players kept protesting, thinking it was a penalty, and the fans at the scene booed.
But the referee Busacca still said that Pepe got the ball first and it was not a penalty.
Messi did not object to this, he stood up directly from the penalty area and continued to play.
Not long after, Iniesta made a straight pass after breaking through the middle, Messi cut in from the right and shook off Marcelo, then broke through Pepe and took a long shot with his left foot, which was saved by Neuer, barely resolving the attack.
After three consecutive shots, Bayern's goal looked very dangerous.
Heynckes remained unmoved. He just signaled Modric and Schweinsteiger to move back a little to strengthen the protection of the defense line. He made basically no other adjustments and continued to remain patient.
In the first half, Bayern was leading 2-1. It was Barcelona that should be anxious, not Bayern.
In this situation, Bayern should be able to remain calm.
Facing Bayern, Heynckes didn't believe that Mourinho would dare to attack desperately in the second half.
At best, it's just a grab.
Facts have proved that this is what Mourinho was thinking.
After attacking for ten minutes and creating some threats, they failed to score a goal, especially after Modric and Schweinsteiger retreated, Bayern's defensive level improved and Barcelona began to slow down the pace.
But at this moment, Bayern took the initiative to press forward.
…
Lucio got the ball on the back line and kept signaling his teammates to press forward.
Both Eto'o and Messi of Barcelona were pressing forward, but Lucio had good footwork and was not afraid of Eto'o at all. He immediately took two steps forward and sent a straight pass that penetrated the midfield of both sides and reached Su Dong at the front of Barcelona's 30-meter area.
Su Dong retreated to receive the ball and stopped it. He was immediately attacked from the front and back by Pique and Yaya Toure. After protecting the ball, he passed it back to Modric.
At this time, the Croatian midfielder had successfully crossed the half court.
Modric stopped the ball, avoided Xavi, and passed it to Schweinsteiger.
He also crossed the center line and quickly passed the ball to Marcelo on the left.
The Brazilian left-back quickly crossed the center line and continued to rush forward after receiving the ball. He was entangled by Iniesta, but quickly passed the ball to Ribery, and suddenly changed direction and cut into the ribs.
Ribery stopped the ball with his back to Alves and couldn't turn around, so he could only stop the ball and pass it to Marcelo.
After Marcelo caught up with the ball, he had already rushed to the front of the penalty area.
As soon as he stopped the ball, Puyol and Yaya Toure rushed towards him at the same time.
Marcelo had played as a winger and had very delicate footwork. While being sandwiched between two Barcelona players, he managed to pass the ball sideways to Su Dong at the top of the penalty area.
Su Dong faced to the left with his right shoulder facing Pique, while the Barcelona center back stared at Su Dong anxiously.
When Su Dong stopped the ball, Pique approached him immediately and stood behind Su Dong, forcing him to take the ball with his back to the goal.
At this time, Su Dong's physical confrontation came into play.
No matter how Pique pushed forward, Su Dong did not move. Instead, he leaned behind him and pressed Pique so that he could not move.
There is actually an unwritten standard for judging whether a center is a good center, and that is to see whether he can turn around after taking the ball with his back to the basket. Because on the tactical level, taking the ball with his back to the basket actually has no meaning. Only when he can turn around does it have tactical value.
The reason is simple. Only by turning around can the attacking player take the ball and face the goal directly.
Su Dong is undoubtedly a top center forward, so facing the Barcelona center back Pique who has performed well this season, Su Dong first leaned back, pressing him so that he could not move, then immediately turned around and suddenly shot with his right foot.
Although Nuno Cruz hopes that Sudon will start to reduce the type of shots like Batistuta's GOL, this does not mean that he should give up. After all, this is one of Sudon's most powerful weapons so far. How can he just give up?
Transformation requires a long process.
After Su Dong used his body to suppress Pique, he turned around and kicked the ball. The ball flew straight to the right side of Barcelona's goal like a cannonball.
Valdes was originally standing on the left side. With Marcelo's pass, he moved to the middle, but unexpectedly Su Dong turned around and fired a Tomahawk missile.
The ball flew out at an extremely fast speed, drew an elegant arc, and fell straight to the right side of the goal.
Valdés made a desperate save but still failed to prevent the ball from entering the net.
Three to one!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the 56th minute, Bayern scored again, 3-1!"
"Su Dong was just like a god of war. This shot completely conquered Barcelona's goal."
"From the slow motion, we can see that Barcelona's central defender Pique was completely suppressed behind Su Dong and could not move."
"This is the difference in strength. Pique has no way to deal with Su Dong. Just surrender!"
"hat trick!"
"Su Dong once again completed a hat trick in the Champions League final!"
"My God, I don't know how to describe my feelings at this moment. I can only say to Su Dong, please accept my knee!"
After Su Dong scored a goal, he quickly rushed out of the stadium and went straight to the stands where Bayern fans were. He kissed the ring on his left hand hard and waved his fist at the Bayern fans in the stands.
Bayern fans throughout the stadium were shouting Su Dong in unison.
Three to one, this means that Bayern has seized the most advantageous point in this Champions League final.
…………
…………
Mourinho stood on the sidelines with a gloomy face.
He was fully aware of the current situation, and he also knew that there was no choice now.
He has already made strict deployments against Su Dong based on Barcelona's current defensive strength, especially Pique, who followed Su Dong almost every step of the court. But even so, Su Dong still seized the opportunity and performed a hat trick.
Look at Pique's frustrated and annoyed expression at this moment. He was really badly beaten by Su Dong.
This kid has always been full of confidence, even a little arrogant and conceited, but now he has lost his temper after being beaten by Su Dong. What else can Mourinho say? His own central defender was crippled, what can he do? 1 to 3, Barcelona has no time left.
So Mourinho immediately walked to the sidelines and made adjustments.
Henry came on and replaced Seydou Keita.
Messi still played in the middle, with Henry and Eto'o on the wings.
Although Messi is not tall, he is the player with the best shooting skills and the strongest scoring ability in Barcelona.
…
After Henry came on, Barcelona's formation returned to the traditional 4-3-3.
Xavi and Iniesta firmly controlled the ball in the midfield and planned offensive opportunities for the frontcourt.
Bayern still played steadily, focusing on defense as a whole, but did not retreat. Instead, they were in a tit-for-tat manner, trying to go against Barcelona.
Especially in the 70th minute, Heynckes replaced Schweinsteiger, who was physically exhausted, with Toni Kroos, allowing the young midfielder to form a midfield with Modric, continuing to suppress Barcelona and even starting to compete with Barcelona for possession of the ball.
Shortly after Toni Kroos came on the pitch, he launched another attack with a long pass. Su Dong headed the ball to Robben behind him from the edge of the penalty area, but the Dutchman's follow-up shot was slightly off the goal.
Barcelona also organized several threatening attacks, especially in the 76th minute, when Messi retreated to the midfield to receive the ball, completed a quick two-pass combination with Iniesta, dribbled forward, and quickly passed the ball to Eto'o on the right, and then went straight to the penalty area in front of the goal.
Eto'o broke through Marcelo on the wing and made a low cross. Messi stopped the ball, dribbled past Pepe and shot with his left foot from close range.
Most of the angles of this shot were blocked by Pepe and Lucio, and Messi was too focused on the blind spot, so he hit the post and bounced back into the court, where he was pinned down by Neuer.
Mourinho quickly made a second substitution, replacing Yaya Toure with Pedro.
With ten minutes left in the game, Mourinho showed his determination to give it a go.
But Heynckes was mature and prudent and quickly adjusted his tactics.
In the 82nd minute, Badstuber replaced Marcelo to strengthen the defense on the left.
Both Marcelo and Schweinsteiger played very hard in this game, and the intensity of the game was also very high. Replacing them at this time was more to avoid technical distortion due to excessive physical consumption.
This is also strengthening the defense.
…
Afterwards, the game was completely under Barcelona's control.
Bayern was mainly defensive, with counterattacks, which made Barcelona quite afraid. Especially the presence of Su Dong made Barcelona's defenders feel like a thorn in their side, so how could they attack? In the last ten minutes, both sides were basically in a stalemate, and no one was able to create a good opportunity.
Obviously, Su Dong's third goal was a huge blow to Barcelona, and it could even be said that it undermined their will to fight back.
In the 85th minute of the game, Heinkers specially replaced Sudon with Klose.
This is more of a hope to allow Su Dong to receive the cheers and applause from all the fans in the stadium, especially the Bayern fans.
This is the treatment he deserves!
When Su Dong left the field, all the Bayern fans, neutral fans, and even some Barcelona fans stood up and gave him warm applause and cheers.
Once again performing a hat trick in the Champions League final, Su Dong deserves everyone's respect!
