Chapter 703 If you go, I will go!
Many people once missed the Barcelona Dream Team II during its heyday.
The trident of Ronaldinho, Suarez and Messi, and the midfield iron triangle of Deco, Xavi and Marcos Senna, are the dream lineups that many Barcelona fans and even fans of other teams dream of.
But only people like Su Dong who play in Barcelona know that in the midfield configuration, the combination of Deco and Xavi is not the best. Instead, the combination of Iniesta and Xavi is more reasonable.
Xavi is the team's metronome and the core of the midfield organization. He is responsible for organizing and connecting the players. He has a long pass and can also break away from the opponent.
Iniesta is very good at dribbling the ball, his final pass is also quite sharp, his connection with the strikers is very good, and he has a strong ability to break through in a small area, but his speed is relatively slow.
Marcos Senna is more responsible for sweeping and supporting, and his ability to receive and pass the ball is also excellent.
This is basically the division of labor and cooperation among the iron triangle in the midfield, which makes Barcelona's midfield offense more three-dimensional and with more diverse means.
If Iniesta is replaced by Deco, perhaps the threat on both offense and defense will be greater, but the midfield's ball control, ball progression and final pass will be worse.
In fact, in the Spanish national team, the combination of Xavi, Iniesta and Marcos Senna also produced amazing results, helping Spain win the European Cup and is likely to win the World Cup next year.
In the modern football system, the division of labor among players on the field is becoming more and more clear. There must be a Gattuso next to Pirlo, and it is best for Iniesta to stand next to Xavi, not Deco.
From this point of view, the iron triangle combination of Xavi, Iniesta and Marcos Senna is a classic.
Now, among Manchester City's three midfielders, Busquets has a stable pass, the ability to sweep the defense, and is more of a backward player. David Silva is a bit like Iniesta and can play the role of Iniesta in the iron triangle.
Then the question arises, Modric is actually not the type of player like Xavi. Although he is good at both offense and defense and is good at breaking away from the defense, his best skill is dribbling and making precise passes. In addition, he can also create threats on both sides and even get into the penalty area to participate in the attack.
In other words, Modric actually plays like Iniesta.
In Bayern's current team, Modric also plays a role similar to Xiaobai, while Xavi's role belongs to Schweinsteiger.
Of course, every player has his or her own characteristics and advantages, and the functions and division of labor may also be different, but this is generally the case.
If Manchester City signs Modric, can Modric and David Silva cooperate well?
In other words, can the two of them really achieve an effect where one plus one is greater than two?
Su Dong, on the contrary, thinks that what Manchester City needs is a player similar to Xavi. Schweinsteiger and Toni Kroos would be more suitable, especially Toni Kroos.
Toni Kroos has an excellent long pass, which makes him very threatening on the pitch.
Over the past few years, European football's tactics have been abandoning long passes because they are too inefficient. For example, the Premier League's long passes have always been criticized.
Why is it low?
First of all, long-distance passes place very high demands on the passer. Some players have to adjust or even let the ball stand still before making a long pass, which can easily lead to missed opportunities.
In addition, when making long passes, the arc and speed of the ball in the air, the stability of the pass, and more importantly, the accuracy of the landing point, these are all very high requirements, and there are only a handful of passers who can do this.
Finally, long passes are also a big challenge for the receiver to stop the ball, especially those high balls from a long distance, which are even more troublesome.
As a center, Su Dong has a deeper understanding of this, because he often stops the ball well and the opposing defensive players have already surrounded him, and good opportunities are missed in vain.
But not all long passers are like this. For example, Xabi Alonso's long passes are flat, fast, and quite accurate, and the receivers are also very easy to catch. Although Su Dong has never cooperated with him, he can feel it through the video.
Toni Kroos is also this type of passer. He is proficient with both feet and can pass the ball from the wing. His ability to get rid of opponents is average, but he is very good at protecting the ball, thanks to his physique.
He has excellent physical fitness and rarely gets injured, which is synonymous with durability. He also has strong running ability. It can be said that if it weren't for Schweinsteiger, Toni Kroos would now be the core of Bayern's midfield.
In Su Dong's opinion, since Manchester City already has a player of David Silva's type, they should actually introduce Toni Kroos instead of Modric.
This was the thought that suddenly popped into Su Dong's mind when he walked in and saw Toni Kroos.
David Silva, Busquets and Toni Kroos, such a midfield combination should be very interesting.
…
Su Dong did not say what he was thinking.
He is not a straight male chauvinist like Toni Kroos.
Previously, Su Dong changed his goal celebration action and started kissing the ring on his left hand, so the media went to ask Bayern's players what they thought of Su Dong's action of kissing the ring on his left hand after scoring a goal? The other Bayern players praised him, except Toni Kroos.
This guy is a taciturn, reserved and introverted person, but the media just likes to interview such players because it is easier to dig out what the media reporters want from their mouths.
As expected, after being harassed by the media, Toni Kroos expressed his opinion on Su Dong's new celebration action.
"If the goal celebrations were choreographed, I think it would be a bit silly."
Needless to say, Toni Kroos's words immediately became the focus of media attention.
What German genius disdains Su Dong, what Toni Kroos mocks Su Dong for being stupid...
In short, all kinds of news emerge in an endless stream.
As soon as Toni Kroos finished speaking, he realized he had made a mistake, and immediately ran over to apologize to Su Dong, explaining the whole story. Finally, he promised to treat Su Dong and the entire team to a meal, and the matter was written off.
After spending a long time together, Su Dong got to know Toni Kroos's temperament more and more, and naturally knew what kind of person he was.
He is the type who is fine if he doesn't speak, but once he speaks, he is amazing. He is also the type that the media likes most.
…
"What do you think? Does Manchester City really want to sign you?" Pepe asked with concern.
This is no secret around the world.
Behind closed doors, they were all good friends. Su Dong did not hide it and nodded, "In fact, they still want to sign you."
Pepe was amused and said, "If you go, then I will go."
In fact, Pepe joined Bayern because of Su Dong.
So much so that even Ronnie was complaining that among the four brothers, Jose Semedo couldn't play football, but Pepe always followed Sudong, and Ronnie was alone, which was so pitiful.
Pepe always joked that because he was teammates with Ronaldo in the national team, he had to be teammates with Su Dong in the club, otherwise it would be unfair to Su Dong.
But in fact, the real reason is that in addition to brotherhood, Pepe also has a gratitude hidden in the deepest part of his heart towards Su Dong, because Su Dong helped him a lot in the past and he will never forget it.
Therefore, if Su Dong really wants to transfer to Manchester City, and Manchester City can convince Bayern to let him go, Pepe will also be willing to transfer.
"What about you, Marcelo?" Pepe looked at Marcelo.
The Brazilian boy frowned, looked at Pepe, then looked at Su Dong, hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "If Bayern lets me go, I will go too and continue to be your teammate."
Pepe then laughed out loud with satisfaction.
Su Dong also shook his head speechlessly. How could it be so easy?
If players have the final say in transfers, then why do clubs need to negotiate and transfer fees? "Su, are you really going to leave after this season?" Toni Kroos asked with concern.
Su Dong smiled and said, "It's not clear yet, don't listen to their nonsense."
Toni Kroos didn't quite believe it because everyone in the team knew it.
It is actually quite unchallenging for Su Dong to play in the Bundesliga, let alone in Bayern. Even in the entire Bundesliga, Su Dong's personal ability stands out from the crowd. Superstars like Ribery and Robben are ashamed of themselves, and no defender can stop him.
According to Su Dong, among the many Bundesliga teams, there is no stronger central defender combination than Bayern.
Therefore, sometimes, dealing with defenders in Bundesliga games is not as difficult as dealing with Lucio and Pepe during Bayern's daily team training.
"However, if I really want to leave Bayern and leave the Bundesliga, then I really want to go to the Premier League," Su Dong said frankly.
"Why?" Toni Kroos asked curiously.
"Challenge!" Su Dong said with a smile.
"When I was at Valencia, I won the European Golden Boot. Many people said that I could only score so many goals in La Liga. If I left La Liga, I wouldn't be able to play well."
Toni Kroos, Pepe and others must have seen the news back then. In fact, doubts about Su Dong have always existed.
Even now.
"Later, when I went to Barcelona, they still doubted me because I was still in La Liga. When I left La Liga and moved to the Bundesliga, they became more confident and thought that I was not good enough. They thought that the reason I came to the Bundesliga was because the competition here was weaker and I didn't dare to go to the Premier League to accept the challenge. "
When he said this, Su Dong let out a long sigh with mixed feelings.
"After so many years, these doubts have always existed. The better you perform, the more doubts they have."
Toni Kroos and Pepe looked at each other and wanted to say something, but Su Dong continued.
"In fact, I know that some of them say this on purpose. You can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep. They can always find some points of doubt, but I still want to give it a try."
"Let's go to the Premier League, the league they say is extremely challenging, and try to prove to them and everyone that I, Su Dong, can handle anything no matter where I go!"
At the end, Su Dong shook his head and sighed again.
"There's nothing I can do about it. This is the tragedy of Virgo!"
