Chapter 686 You want to go to the Premier League, right?
How has life changed since I got a girlfriend? This was a question I was asked when I was interviewed by UEFA's official reporter after winning the UEFA Player of the Season award.
At that time, Su Dong thought about it for a long time and the answer was: he started to learn to be lazy, but he became more sophisticated.
This is actually a very interesting question.
Ever since Su Dong and Wang Chuqing established a relationship and started living together, many things have been changing unconsciously.
For example, Su Dong's cell phone bill increased because even though they met at home every day, he and Wang Chuqing still had to make several phone calls and countless text messages every day, and they would send a message whenever something happened.
Gradually, it became a habit.
There are more photos, and photography technology has improved unknowingly.
This is not because Su Dong received sponsorship from a world-renowned camera brand, but because after he got a girlfriend, the two of them often went out on vacation, traveled around the world, and wanted to take pictures every time they went to a place.
Su Dong actually doesn’t like taking photos, but he likes taking photos of Wang Chuqing. For this reason, he even went to learn how to take photos from the Golden Globe Awards’ professional photographer, including lighting, angles, composition, etc…
There is only one purpose, which is to make his girlfriend and fiancée look more beautiful.
All photos are kept privately.
In the past, Su Dong was a man who lived a very rough life, and all he did every day was training.
Jose Semedo once said that Sudong was the kind of training maniac who wished he could split 24 hours into 48 hours. He could stay at home every day to train without going out, he could go without shaving for a week, and he only had one set of more formal clothes in his closet, and the rest were all training clothes.
But since he got a girlfriend, every morning there would be a set of folded clothes placed by his bed, with the clothes carefully selected. There were more and more clothes in his closet, so many that he didn't even know when he bought so many clothes?
Every time he went on an away game, she would prepare a suitcase for him personally. If he needed anything, he could find it in the suitcase. If he couldn't find it, he could just call her and she would dig it out from some inconspicuous place in the suitcase.
Every time she attended a formal event, she would come forward to communicate with sponsors and stylists. She always knew his size, whether he had gained weight recently, or lost a little weight, what kind of clothes he wore, what kind of tie he wore, what kind of hairstyle he had, what kind of perfume he sprayed, what kind of leather shoes he wore...
Men's skin care products and men's perfumes began to appear on the dressing table at home. Whenever she had time, she would even put a facial mask on Su Dong. The two "black-faced people" were making fun of each other and it was quite interesting.
Although there is a chef at home, she will cook herself whenever she has time and make some food that no one knows where she came up with. You know, in her family, she has been the little princess who has never done any housework for more than 20 years.
She really did a lot of things and turned Su Dong, a rough man who only knew how to train, into a refined man.
So, in the eyes of outside media and fans, Su Dong began to become fashionable and tasteful.
Many people think that it is the credit of the sponsors and the stylist, which is certainly true, but the more important one is Wang Chuqing.
She really did a lot of things for Su Dong and changed him unknowingly. And while doing so many things, her career was also flourishing. Now she is the youngest partner in the law firm and has a good chance of becoming a senior partner.
After becoming a partner, her time began to become more free, so she started to arrange her own vacation according to Su Dong's vacation, and tried to squeeze in as many common vacations as possible for the two of them to travel together.
Every time she goes out, she not only considers her own preferences, but also accommodates Su Dong.
For example, for this vacation in September, she chose Madrid.
Because she had heard Su Dong mention that he had played football in Spain and Portugal for many years, but he had never really been to Madrid. And there happened to be a match between the Spanish national team and Belgium in early September, which was a rare matchup, so she arranged her trip in Madrid.
In this way, she once again successfully "kidnapped" Su Dong and lured him into being lazy.
…………
…………
After winning the European Cup, Aragones retired and Spain welcomed Real Madrid's meritorious coach Bosque.
Many people thought that Bosque would let Raul return, but he didn't.
Bosque inherited the tactical style left by Aragones and even took it a step further and brought it to its extreme.
Aragones' transformation of Spain was subversive. He changed Spain's traditional double-winger style of play to a midfield control style. The most typical thing was not giving up Raul, but signing Su Dong's former teammates Albelda and Baraja, the world's top double defensive midfielders.
This duo is strong, good at both offense and defense, but they can't control the ball.
To take down Raul, more consideration should be given to the frontcourt attack.
After being the captain of Real Madrid for so many years, Raul's spirituality has been gradually erased and he is no longer sharp.
But for a possession-based team like Spain, possession of the ball is only a means, and converting possession into goals is the goal.
So they need sharp offensive means, which Raul obviously does not have. However, he has made too many outstanding contributions to the Spanish national team and cannot be left without him, so Aragones simply does not bring him.
So, Aragones succeeded! As the former Real Madrid coach, Bosque had a good relationship with Raul. When he first took office, many people thought he would bring Raul with him, but he didn't. It was probably because of this consideration.
Today's Raul is like a blunt knife that has not been sharpened for a long time. Villa and Torres are sharper.
This is very unfair to Raul, who has been supporting the national team for so many years, but no matter who leads this Spanish team, if they want to achieve results, they will have to do the same. This is the cruelty of football.
Do you want grades? Or do you want friendship? ...
The match between Spain and Belgium was scheduled to be held at Atletico Madrid's Calderon Stadium.
Su Dong wanted to watch it, not only because he wanted to observe the Spanish style of play on the spot, but also because Belgium is one of the most successful countries in youth training in European football in recent years, and this team has produced a group of outstanding young talents.
Van Buyten mentioned a series of names to Su Dong, such as Vermaelen, Vertonghen, Hazard, Fellaini, De Four, Witsel, etc., all of whom are very capable young players.
The Belgian central defender asserted that in the next few years, this group of young Belgian players will definitely join major European clubs and achieve great success.
Both sides are very powerful, so Su Dong is naturally very interested.
Watching a game live is different from watching it on TV, as you can see more things.
The result completely overturned his imagination.
Spain slaughtered Belgium 5-0 at the Calderon Stadium.
Su Dong saw a hearty, one-sided massacre. Even if it weren't for the outstanding performance of the post and the goalkeeper, the score would have been astonishingly high.
David Silva scored twice in this game, but it was Villa who performed best.
Spain played a 4-4-2 formation, but in reality it was Torres who pushed forward, while Villa moved more to the left, giving him a freer position.
David Silva replaced the injured Iniesta and became the core of Spain's midfield attack. Together with Xavi and Marcos Senna, he performed very well.
This is a breathtaking game!
It's a contest on a completely different level!
Su Dong clearly felt that Bosque had made more sophisticated changes to the Spanish team based on Aragones's work, making Spain's ball control stronger and its offense more sharp.
…
"This is the football Guardiola wants to play!"
Su Dong was extremely shocked by the game he saw, and it even overturned his understanding of football.
He even couldn't help but wonder, if it was in a club match, would Bayern be able to do well against such a Spanish national team?
The answer is probably hard to say.
Unless Bayern can hold back and defend against counterattacks from behind, they probably won’t be able to hold on.
This kind of continuous passing is too powerful and has too strong penetration.
"Then why does Guardiola's coaching in the Premier League seem to be not going smoothly?" Wang Chuqing was very surprised.
The outside media are almost scolding Guardiola to death, especially the British media, who simply treat him as a joke.
Why? In the first three rounds, Manchester City had a high possession rate, but there were few threatening attacks.
Only one goal was scored in three games and 500 million euros was invested in a year. Isn't this a joke?
Su Dong smiled bitterly and shook his head. How should I explain this?
Manchester City is a half-finished team now. Guardiola cannot buy the players he wants, which leads to the current situation. For example, David Silva's partner in the national team is Xavi. What about in the club? Busquets' characteristics are that he can get the ball, organize and pass the ball, and has defensive ability, but he is not the type of Mascherano. Although he is tall, he is completely different from Yaya Toure, who is dark and hard.
So it was very embarrassing.
The players can't match the coach's tactics. No matter how clever Guardiola's tactics are, they will be at a loss! The biggest problem lies in the offense.
Di Maria and Sanchez are still young, and Santa Cruz is like Raul, too dull.
All teams that control the ball will have a problem, that is, if the frontcourt attack fails to pose a threat, the outcome will be very tragic.
Because their defense is too weak.
This is the disadvantage of attacking instead of defending.
Therefore, both Spanish national team head coaches abandoned Raul, and Guardiola had to trust Santa Cruz.
"You want to go to the Premier League, right?" Wang Chuqing suddenly asked.
She felt that Su Dong wanted to watch the Spanish game because he actually wanted to take this opportunity to understand Guardiola's tactics and see how feasible they were.
Now, he saw it.
Su Dong looked up at the night sky of the Calderón Stadium. He smiled and did not directly answer Wang Chuqing's question. Instead, he nodded confidently and said, "Let's talk about it after I win three consecutive championships in Bayern!"
The whole world, including Wang Chuqing, couldn't understand why Su Dong was so obsessed with winning three consecutive championships?
Did the experience at Barcelona really hit him so hard?
