i want to be king

Chapter 1021 Dude, keep attacking!

Last night, after returning from training at the Allianz Arena, he had dinner with the team. Guardiola specially took two hours off to allow the players to move freely and visit their relatives and friends.

All in the same hotel, just a few steps away.

Su Dong went to visit old friends such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Iniesta. A group of people got together and naturally chatted about the upcoming final. They also shared their experience on how to play Chelsea.

But football is something that comes and goes and every game is completely different.

Especially in the Champions League.

For example Drogba, last season's Ivorian is very different from this season's Drogba.

There is also Terry, who has been involved in scandals and controversies this season, which has affected his state. Although he came back later, who knows how much he can play in the Champions League final?
At least when he played Bayern Munich, he played very bravely. If it weren't for the central defender formed by him and Cahill, it would be impossible for Chelsea to retreat under the fierce offensive of Bayern Munich.

After chatting about football for a while, we talked about Su Dong's wedding.

The small islands located in the UAE in the Middle East have all been arranged properly, and are now in full swing for final perfection.

Mansour is still very strong, and even for this wedding, many facilities were directly built on the island, including roads, green plants, lawns, etc., and a lot of investment was made.

Of course, according to them, these are not a one-time investment, but they want to use Su Dong's wedding to make a name for themselves and turn this small island into a wedding holy place in the future.

For Sudong, he can't care about the future, he can only thank Mansour for his dedication, and at the same time, he will do his best to help Manchester City win the championship, which is regarded as his return to Mansour.

The future father-in-law is the leader of a large state-owned enterprise, and he is also very busy on weekdays, so the wedding is basically prepared by Su Dong's parents and future mother-in-law. Although there is a contractor, there are still many customs and preparations by the family.

For example, Su Wenji wants to hold a banquet in his hometown to entertain relatives and friends in his hometown.

The same is true of the Wang family.

Both Su Dong and Wang Chuqing didn't like excitement and trouble, but the older generation had such wishes, so they naturally had to respect them.

According to the plan, they will hold their wedding in the Middle East, then start their honeymoon trip for half a month, then return to China for two banquets, and then Su Dong will return to Europe to prepare for the new season, and it will be inevitable to entertain his club teammates again.

In the past, Su Dong really seldom thought about these issues and ignored them, but since he came to Manchester City and became the captain, he will consider issues more comprehensively, and he is no longer alone like before.

According to what Beckenbauer said when they met, Su Dong is more mature and stable today.

……

Halfway through the gathering with old friends, Wang Chuqing brought her parents and future father-in-law and a group of five to the hotel.

Although they live in Su Dong's villa, they have long heard that Su Dong has time, so of course they want to come over and meet before the game. When it comes to the game day, it's a race against time, how can there be time to meet?

When we met, we couldn't avoid nagging.

They are basically Su Dong's parents, and they just want to "report" the progress of the wedding preparations, and by the way, "show off" how many houses they have bought recently, as well as some things that happened at home in the family.

In fact, no matter in his hometown or in China, as long as something happens, Su Dong will make donations in China through his parents.

For example, the community where Su Dong lived since he was a child said that he wanted to raise funds to build a senior care center. The government only allocated part of the funds, and the rest had to be raised by himself.

When Su Wenji called Su Dong, Su Dong didn't say anything, and directly entrusted his father with full authority to take charge.

Su Wenji is also good at handling affairs. He neither steals the limelight nor shows off. He privately contacted the neighborhood committee and asked them to raise money first. The old people in the community don't need it. No matter how big the gap is, the Su family will take care of everything. In name, it is still crowdfunding in the community, and the neighbors feel comfortable.

The whole thing was done beautifully, and everyone was happy in the end.

Su Dong felt a little guilty every time he saw his parents.

The older generation said that as parents, they want their children to be successful, but they don't want their children to be too successful.

Su Dong didn't understand this contradiction before, but now he really understands.

However, chatting and chatting, unknowingly, the topic shifted to the matter of having children again.

This is the most common topic between Su Wenji and Wang Qingquan and his wife, and it is also what they like to talk about in front of Su Dong and his wife.

Even as early as a few years ago, they had been encouraging Su Dong and Mr. Wang Chuqing to have several children. Su Dong's parents and future mother-in-law also said that if they had children, they would retire early and take care of them full-time.

As a result, several years have passed, and there has been no birth.

Still too greedy for the two-person world!
…………

…………

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Manchester City also held a pre-match tactical meeting in the conference room of the hotel to discuss the Champions League final game. Guardiola and the coaching staff explained their thoughts to all the players and listened to the players. Opinion.

As the team captain, especially the team's most important player, Su Dong's role in the team has become more and more obvious, and he has more and more say in such meetings. Even in many cases, Guardiola will specifically name Su Dong to express his views.

Whether in public or in private, Su Dong and Guardiola are giving each other more respect and trust.

For Chelsea, Guardiola definitely hopes that the team can control the ball as much as possible, and finally overwhelm the opponent until they break Chelsea's goal position, but Su Dong believes that from Chelsea's game against Bayern, it can be seen that Chelsea is very good at playing such tactics.

"They are used to being pressed by their opponents, which is good for them to defend, so the two rounds against Bayern were very ugly, but Chelsea advanced to the final. This is not only because of Bayern's lack of ability to break the game at critical moments, but also Chelsea's tenacity and tenacity."

"There is no doubt that Chelsea will still play on the defensive in this game, but I personally think that if we hold the ball firmly, just like Bayern did, and press Chelsea in the half, will Chelsea's entire formation become very compact and tight, while our offense will find it difficult to get space?"

Su Dong's words not only made the players on the scene fall into thinking, but even Guardiola and the coaching staff also showed a look of thinking.

Many people think that Su Dong is just a player, or the captain of the team, but in fact, he is a very thoughtful player, which makes him have a very big picture on the court, and his running is also very cunning, which makes the opponent very headache.

At the same time, he is also a master of strategy.

Su Dong is so broken, many teammates also feel that Chelsea may even welcome Manchester City to adopt such a tactic.

Pressing high, moving the defense forward, and locking possession firmly, this allows Chelsea to tighten the three lines logically. Everyone is very unified and the goal is the same. This is Chelsea's favorite way of playing.

Because they have only one way, and that is to strictly guard against and fight back.

"What do you mean?" Guardiola asked with a frown.

He was not dissatisfied with Su Dong's opinion, nor did he feel that Su Dong's opinion was an infringement on his authority, his tone sounded more like he was discussing and exchanging opinions with Su Dong.

The rest of City's players are also used to their communication style.

A frown meant Guardiola was thinking.

"I think we should give Chelsea more choices." Su Dong laughed.

"Huh?" Guardiola didn't quite understand.

"To put it simply, we withdraw the ball possession area, reduce the investment in pressing and pressing in the midfield, and let Chelsea have more opportunities to get the ball in the midfield. In this way, our possession rate will be less. But the question is, what will Chelsea do when the midfield gets the ball?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Who said no?
When Chelsea players get the ball, they will think it is a hot potato, kick it back to Manchester City with a big kick, and then wave, buddies, keep attacking!
impossible?

After getting the ball, especially after the midfield has stabilized the ball, they must want to attack. At this time, can the players continue to maintain a unified mentality?Still able to unite and concentrate on defending?

For Manchester City, in this game against Chelsea, it is not difficult to get more possession of the ball. There is even a high probability of exceeding [-]%.

Su Dong's idea is to reduce part of the ball possession, give Chelsea more space, and let them have more different ideas, so that they will no longer be united to guard against death. They will have differences. If there are differences, there will be mistakes. If there are mistakes, Manchester City will have more opportunities.

Torrent and Estiat looked at each other, and they both felt that Su Dong's idea was not a problem at the strategic level, and it could even be said to be very clever. It took advantage of Chelsea's mind and the complexity of human nature, and forcibly created some opportunities if there were no opportunities.

But the problem is that the head coach of Manchester City is also very complicated. Guardiola, nicknamed Mr. Tangled, has an unusual obsession with possession. Will he be willing to transfer part of possession to Chelsea?

Of course, Su Dong's proposal is not completely risk-free.

Once, as Su Dong said, the frontcourt pressure is reduced, due to the flexible movement of Manchester City players, the players are often out of position. After the team loses the ball, Manchester City's defense will be very fragile at the moment when the opponent turns from defense to offense. At this time, it has to rely entirely on the players' on-the-spot performance.

This can be said to be contrary to Guardiola's philosophy.

That's the fun thing about football.

On the football field, there has never been a so-called benefit or harm, there has always been only trade-offs and choices.

Offense and defense, technique and power, possession and space...

Nothing is invincible!
