Chapter 226 The Wounded Magician
"It turns out that you are really familiar with the Porto players."

In a corner of the Fire Dragon Stadium, Messi, who had just met his family, finally saw Su Dong.

At that time, Su Dong was chatting and laughing with the Porto players, and it seemed that they were not familiar.

"I have a very good friend named Pepe. He is Deco's younger brother. He is the midfielder who just sent two assists."

Messi nodded, "I know him. Our team wanted to buy him this summer, but we couldn't."

Strictly speaking, as early as the winter break in [-], Barcelona had already poached Deco, but later Deco was forcibly retained by the chairman of Porto for a year, otherwise, he would have been teammates with Messi long ago.

However, people in European football are almost certain that Deco will move to Barcelona next summer.

"Just now you performed very well, but your health was a little weak." Su Dong laughed.

Messi nodded again, "Rijkaard told me the same thing. He believed that I would become a promising professional player, but he still didn't make any promises to me."

In the end, Messi's eyes dimmed a bit.

Just boasting a few words without spending money, anyone can do it, the key is to promise the future.

When dealing with young talents like Messi, what they value most is the opportunity to play.

"You know, after my best friend Cesc moved to Arsenal, he has already played in the League Cup and performed very well. Wenger attaches great importance to him and is also cultivating him carefully. Wenger originally wanted to take me away."

Messi chose to stay in Barcelona for various reasons, but the turmoil in this team is indeed disturbing.

Not to mention anything else, Rijkaard himself is a bit difficult to protect himself, how can he promise Messi the future?

If it weren't for the recent improvement in Barcelona's performance, the Dutch star would have dismissed get out of class long ago.

"Move the tree to die, and move the people to live. At that time, it is also a way to take the initiative to rent out." Su Dong suggested.

Aimar is still very well connected. It is said that he has communicated with the coaching staff before, and Valencia's right is indeed a problem.

Judging from tonight's game, Messi is a left-footed player. He can play the three positions of left winger, front midfielder and right winger. It is said that he can also play as a center forward in the youth team. Throughout 31, he played 38 games and scored [-] goals.

"That's right!" Messi sighed, "It would be a good choice to go to Valencia on loan, at least to be teammates with you and Pablo. Even if the sky falls, there will be a tall man like you to support it."

At the end, Messi laughed bitterly.

Su Dong really can't say, Aimar himself is preparing to transfer and leave the team.

Of course, the situation of Aimar and Messi is very different.

Today's Messi is just talented, not even a fledgling, just playing tricks in the youth team, but Aimar is different. He is a talented midfielder who has been famous for many years and is the core midfielder of the Argentine national team. The two are completely different.

For Aimar today, Valencia is a small temple, which limits his development, but for Messi, precisely because Valencia is a small temple, it is easier to get a chance to stand out.

As for Valencia's wing, the problem does exist.

First of all, Sudong, Aimar and Vicente are the pillars of Valencia's frontcourt attack, but Vicente and Aimar are both vulnerable to injury. Once Aimar and Vicente are absent, the pressure on Sudong will be doubled. If both are absent, the pressure on Sudong will be even greater.

Therefore, the Valencia coaching staff has always been interested in introducing a winger. For example, last summer, they paid attention to Cristiano Ronaldo and Quaresma. As a result, one of them went to Manchester United and the other to Barcelona.

Now, Mendes is also preparing to run Quares to Valencia, because the Portuguese winger has no chance at all in Barcelona, ​​​​and more time wasted.

Needless to say, Quaresma's ability and potential, otherwise, Barcelona would not be able to pay for him, the key is to see how the head coach develops and uses it.

Professional players will inevitably go through such a process, such as Cristiano Ronaldo at Manchester United.

Su Dong is also experiencing the same, but his playing style makes him more core.

If both Messi and Quaresma come to Valencia, then the right side of the Bat Corps basically doesn't need to worry.

…………

…………

The two-week national team competition has a great impact on teams with many international footballers, especially teams with many South American footballers.

After La Liga rekindled the war, the performance of the strong teams was relatively sluggish.

On the first day of the match, Deportivo drew [-]-[-] away with Real Betis.

The performance of Irueta's team in the recent period has indeed been somewhat unsatisfactory, especially in some unnecessary games, it has frequently lost points, which makes people very worried about the situation of this team.

Two hours later, in Valencia, Barcelona's away game was tragically defeated by Villarreal.

Jose Mari opened the scoring for the Yellow Submarine in the No. 40 minute of the first half. After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Kluivert equalized the score for Barcelona, ​​but in stoppage time, Anderson scored the lore goal for Villarreal.

Two to one, Villarreal beat Barcelona at home.

The man of the match was former Barcelona midfielder Riquelme.

The Argentine magician performed quite well in the game and completely dominated Villarreal's victory over Barcelona.

What's more interesting is that Riquelme was loaned to Villarreal by Barcelona.

So much so that after the game, when the media asked Barcelona Vice President Rosell, he said that the team would recall Riquelme from Villarreal after the end of the season.

But Riquelme's response to this was, "I love everyone in Villarreal deeply, and I need to think about whether to return to Camp Nou!"

Obviously, the experience of Barcelona made the Argentine magician very hurt.

……

Both Valencia and Real Madrid were relieved by Deportivo's draw, while also seeing their chances.

Valencia wants to further widen the gap, and then strive for a more relaxed environment for their two-line combat; Real Madrid is eager to reverse Deportivo and return to second place in the league. Queiroz needs results to ensure his coaching position.

In this case, on the second day of the game, both teams tried their best.

Real Madrid narrowly beat Athletic Bilbao [-]-[-] at home. Beckham and Zidane scored successively, but the game was very dangerous. Real Madrid was even almost knocked down by the opponent.

Two hours after Real Madrid took all three points, Valencia challenged Murcia away.

Argentine internationals such as Aimar and Ayala who traveled long distances all took turns. Benitez formed a four-four-two formation, with Su Dong and Mista forming a striker partner, Vicente and Rufitte partnering on the wings, and the double midfielders were still Albelda and Baraja.

But the game once again proved that Ayala's absence had a great impact on Valencia's defense.

Only [-] minutes into the first half, after Aimar was absent, Su Dong, who took the initiative to provoke the core burden of the frontcourt attack, used a wonderful personal breakthrough with the ball to attract the attention of the defense and sent a direct pass to help Mista kick near the penalty spot, opening the scoring for the team.

But in the No. 308 minute, Murcia relied on a free kick opportunity, and Rich headed the goal to equalize the score.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Murcia launched a quick counterattack. Freddy sent a cross from the left, and Mitchell outflanked and hit in front of the goal, giving Murcia the lead.

Just 6 minutes later, Caboni sent a long pass from the backcourt. Su Dong turned his back to the attacking direction, flew the ball forward, and rubbed the ball behind the defense line, creating an excellent opportunity for Mista to easily hit the goal with a header.

Two to two!
Su Dong scored twice with an assist!

After equalizing the score again, the game was once again in trouble.

……

Game time is ticking by.

Especially after entering the eighth and 10th minute, Valencia began to press aggressively, and even the defense line was over halftime.

When Caboni sent a long pass from the left again, trying to send the ball to the outside of the penalty area and hand it over to Sudong, Murcia's local central defender Mikel Rotta quickly circled forward, grabbed the ball before Sudong, and headed the ball back.

The Spanish veteran, nicknamed Carrot, has considerable defensive experience.

This header cleared the ball directly over the midfield and landed on the back line.

Marchena also rushed forward for the first time, jumped up high before Richie, and pushed Rotta's clearance ball forward again.

The ball flew in the air and landed behind Murcia's defense.

Rotta reached out and blocked Sudong on the right side. Originally, he wanted to cut off Sudong's connection with the midfielder, but he didn't expect that after Marchena's header came over, it landed behind the defense line.

It's dangerous now!

Su Dong had already judged the landing point when Marchena's header came over, and turned around before everyone else.

When Rotta realized the danger, Su Dong had already started and rushed straight to the top of the arc of the penalty area at the fastest speed.

Goalkeeper Hu Anmi saw it most clearly. He made the decision to abandon the goal early on, but before he could make the attack, he found Su Dong rushing forward at an extremely fast speed, which shocked Hu Anmi.

The ball landed slowly, and both Hu Anmi and Su Dong chased after the ball.

The Murcia goalkeeper realized that he was behind Su Dong, and made a decisive decision. He fell to the ground and made a save, trying to block the ball first. As for whether he would foul, he no longer cared about it.

But Su Dong was tall and had long legs, so he didn't wait for the ball to hit the ground, and took the first step to flick the ball.

This challenge directly made Hu Anmi fall to the ground!
After the ball was picked up by Su Dong, it fell down quickly, and Su Dong had avoided Juanmi's save, caught up with his left foot and easily pushed the empty goal, sending the ball into the empty Murcia goal.

Three to two!
After scoring the goal, Su Dong didn't slow down, and quickly rushed to the sidelines, waving his arms constantly.

Valencia's players also scrambled to jump on him, celebrating the goal around him.

This is another goal worth three points!

　Today is still the third watch, and the time is still 12:18 and [-]:[-].
