Chapter 978 UEFA wins!
Su Dong has always felt that the media around the world are very shameless, especially the British, the ancestor of paparazzi.
Competition in the British media is extremely fierce, which has led to their unscrupulous way of doing things.
For example, The Sun, in order to boost sales, even openly used Page 3 girls to attract readers.
But in the British media industry, the media are very happy to do one thing, and that is to create stars.
Many fans and media in China believe that there is a big bubble among young players in England. Pick any rookie at random and they will all want to headbutt Su Dong, punch Ronaldo and step on Messi. They are simply rare geniuses.
These are masterpieces of the media.
Readers like to read, so the media caters to their needs and works hard to produce content.
To a certain extent, the more stars they create, the more material they have to hype.
Even if these young geniuses are soon exposed as being their original selves, it doesn’t matter, because readers are forgetful, and the media can easily use all kinds of exaggerations and tricks to make readers believe that it is not that they have exaggerated, but that these geniuses themselves are not up to the task and have ruined their reputation.
In this environment, it is easy for young players who have just emerged to have an illusion that they are really amazing and can easily destroy the world in an instant. This will make it easy for these guys who lack life experience to lose their way and even stagnate in their careers.
For example, Manchester United's talented young player Raphael Morrison. The talent of this player is unquestionable. Even Ferguson is very optimistic about him. However, after helping Manchester City win the youth team championship, he was praised by the media. Coupled with the influence of the surrounding environment, he became arrogant.
This cannot be entirely blamed on the media, but their contribution to fueling the situation is also "indispensable."
Manchester City attaches particular importance to this aspect. In the management of the locker room and in the communication with the youth team, Su Dong repeatedly emphasized one point, that is, young players should stay away from media reporters and the spotlight.
Trippier, Sterling, Thiago, Courtois, and Bellerin from the youth team are all well protected by Manchester City and are growing smoothly. I believe that as long as they maintain their current momentum of development, they will have a promising future.
Whenever the media praises Manchester City or himself crazily, Su Dong will carefully reflect on himself and guard against arrogance and impatience.
The same is true this time.
The more he is praised by the media, the more low-key he becomes.
Even during the recovery training the next morning, Su Dong told his teammates that he was looking forward to the performances of his two former clubs, Barcelona and Bayern, and he believed that these two teams would be very competitive teams in the Champions League this season.
Also competitive is Real Madrid, led by Cristiano Ronaldo.
As a result, what Su Dong said came true.
…………
…………
The British media was crazy about Manchester City, mainly because Arsenal and Chelsea played very badly in the first leg.
After Chelsea lost 1-3 to Napoli away, Abramovich finally couldn't bear it anymore and fired head coach Villas-Boas, which made him a big joke in European football.
You know, before the season, in order to invite Villas-Boas to coach, Chelsea spent a record 15 million euros in buyout clause to take Villas-Boas away from Porto. Now that they have fired the Portuguese, they will have to continue to pay a large sum of money.
If this isn’t Kaizi, what is it? But it has to be said that changing the coach is like changing the knife.
After replacing Boas with Di Matteo, Chelsea's performance has undergone a complete transformation. At Stamford Bridge, in the regular 90 minutes of the game, they tied Napoli on the aggregate score of 3-1.
Then in extra time, Drogba assisted Ivanovic to score, helping the team to reverse Napoli 4-1.
This is definitely a bloody reversal!
What is impressive is that in Chelsea's great reversal, the key roles played by the central axis were played by Terry, Lampard and Drogba. Drogba and Lampard each made an assist and shot, and Terry scored the second goal.
Although Lian Po is old, he is still a strong and hardworking man!
Compared to Chelsea's iron-blooded team, Arsenal was inevitably inferior. After a 0-4 defeat away from home, although they won 3-0 at home, they were eventually eliminated and failed to enter the quarterfinals.
As a result, among the four Premier League teams participating in the Champions League, only Manchester City and Chelsea both advanced.
…
Bayern Munich, who was singled out by Su Dong as the favorite, fell behind 0-1 in an away game, but after returning to their home court, they beat Basel 7-0, allowing the Bundesliga giants to advance to the quarterfinals with a score of 7-1.
After defeating Leverkusen 3-1 away from home, Barcelona returned to their home court and slaughtered their opponents 7-1. Messi scored five goals, bringing his personal goal tally for this season's Champions League to 12, surpassing Su Dong and topping the Champions League scorer list.
This shocked the media and fans around the world. Could it be that Messi really wanted to defeat Su Dong ?
If Messi temporarily leads the scorer list in the Champions League with a two-goal advantage, then in the La Liga, Messi is slightly behind Su Dong with thirty goals, because Su Dong has currently scored thirty-eight goals in the Premier League.
With more than a dozen rounds left in the league, it is still uncertain who will have the last laugh.
Another team that has attracted much attention, Cristiano Ronaldo scored three goals in the two rounds, helping Real Madrid to beat Lokomotiv Moscow 1-1 away and 4-1 at home, allowing Real Madrid to finally enter the Champions League quarterfinals again after many years away from the Champions League quarterfinals.
Now Real Madrid has finally bid farewell to the title of the 16th place in the Champions League.
The Portuguese has scored 27 goals in La Liga, currently three goals behind Messi.
If we look at the goal data alone, all three players can be said to be the best in the European scorer list, with Su Dong leading the way. However, the outstanding performances of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo this season also make people see the possibility of them catching up with Su Dong.
After the victory over Leverkusen, Messi was interviewed by the media and was asked about his goal tally exceeding that of Su Dong. He smiled and said that the Champions League is still a long way to go.
"We are only in the quarterfinals now. I know Su very well. Although he doesn't say anything, he is definitely aiming for the championship. So it's meaningless to discuss who scores more goals now. The most important thing is who can help the team win in the end."
Messi also expressed his respect for Su Dong again, saying that no matter what, Su Dong is the player he respects the most.
Cristiano Ronaldo also expressed his position in Madrid at the same time, but unlike Messi, he was humble and said he would work harder and strive to score more goals.
"I know he's getting married, and I'm his best friend. I want to give him a gift he'll never forget."
"Yes, nothing will be more memorable for him than finding out at the end of the season that I beat him in the top scorer charts."
After saying this, Cristiano Ronaldo smiled confidently from ear to ear, and he said he was full of energy.
…
Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was the invisible hand of UEFA. Anyway, the day after the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, Manchester City representative Begiristain appeared at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, to participate in the draw for the quarter-finals.
Unfortunately, Manchester City, which participated in the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time in history, drew Real Madrid, which participated in the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time in many years.
Su Dong meets Cristiano Ronaldo!
This is really quite a gimmick!
The two best friends, who are also rivals in the scorer list, finally met again in the Champions League. This is a huge attraction for media and fans around the world.
More importantly, Barcelona drew Marseille, who are in the lower half of the group with Manchester City and Real Madrid.
That is to say, if Barcelona beats Marseille, they will face the winner of Manchester City and Real Madrid in the semi-finals.
If Manchester City wins, it means Su Dong will face his old club and Guardiola will return to Barcelona, which is definitely worth watching.
Since the European Super Cup, Mourinho has repeatedly mentioned revenge, and now there is really a chance.
If we meet Real Madrid, it goes without saying that the Spanish national derby is always the most important focus game at any time.
Anyway, UEFA won the draw this time! A huge win! …………
…………
This weekend, in the 28th round of the Premier League, Manchester City will challenge Swansea away.
Guardiola used a rotation and substitute lineup for the away game, and Su Dong was also placed on the bench by the team.
Manchester City's performance was greatly affected by the continuous multi-line operations. When facing Swansea away from home, facing the opponent's pressing and oppression, Manchester City failed to maintain its usual stable ball possession and made many consecutive mistakes.
On the contrary, the home team, Swansea, seized Manchester City's weakness, kept attacking it, and even created a penalty opportunity.
This time Joe Hart played steadily and bravely saved the opponent's penalty, winning applause from the audience.
Then in the 70th minute, Guardiola finally decided to replace Su Dong.
In the 86th minute, Su Dong first hit Swansea's crossbar with a powerful shot, which bounced into the penalty area, creating chaos and winning a corner kick opportunity for Manchester City.
Then, Thiago took a corner kick, David Luiz headed the ball to the middle, Su Dong quickly inserted, got ahead of the goalkeeper, jumped high, headed the ball, and pushed the ball between the goalkeeper's hands into the Swansea goal, scoring the first goal for Manchester City.
This was the only goal of the entire game.
Manchester City defeated Swansea 1-0 thanks to a goal scored by Su Dong after he came on as a substitute.
Dzeko and Aguero both started the game, and Aguero played the full 90 minutes, but neither of them scored for Manchester City. Su Dong scored for Manchester City after coming on as a substitute, which once again confirmed to everyone the role of Su Dong in this Manchester City team.
After the 28th round of the Premier League, Manchester City can finally get a week of rest.
But a week later, Manchester City once again faced a wave of intensive schedules.
The first team they faced was the FA Cup quarter-final opponent, Leicester City.
