i want to be king

Chapter 255 Su Dong is God's Prank?
Sebenerstrasse, Munich, Germany.

The head coach of Bayern Munich, Hitzfeld, was sitting on the sofa in the office, frowning tightly, watching the video of the game on TV, and there were some scenes of La Liga games on the screen.

Valencia vs Atletico Madrid, vs Real Madrid, vs Barcelona...

I don't know how long after watching it, Heathfeld reached out and rubbed his astringent eyes, full of tiredness.

Over the years, he has been thin and even thinner, which has many people concerned about his health.

He suffers from chronic stomach problems.

Bayern Munich's management also knows this and has given them enough patience, but if the results of this season still do not improve, Hitzfeld will have to dismiss get out of class.

In this regard, he is also mentally prepared, and has even made a plan.

If he is dismissed from Bayern Munich, he will have a good rest and take care of his body.

But until then, he will try his best to win for Bayern Munich.

Especially in the Champions League.

……

"This Sudong will be our biggest threat to Valencia!"

Sitting opposite Hitzfeld was his right-hand man for many years, analyst Michel Henk.

He is eight years younger than Heathfield. He has been following Heathfield since [-], from Dortmund to Bayern Munich.

"Sudong is really troublesome, especially for our defense line. Our defenders have not performed well this season." Hitzfeld rubbed his astringent eyes, closed them, and followed Michel Henk's words in his mouth.

Bayern Munich's defense this season is not ideal. The main problem is that the defenders are not playing well.

During the winter break, the German media gave Bayern Munich the most advice, which is to sign a powerful central defender, such as Leverkusen's Brazilian central defender Lucio, which can greatly enhance the strength of Bayern Munich's defense.

But without success.

Today, Bayern Munich's defense is a big problem. Veterans such as Lizarazu and Thomas Link are in a state of decline, and Robert Kovac, Kufuor, Demichelis and others are in a relatively mediocre state. This has become the most serious problem for Bayern Munich this season.

"The biggest problem now is that Valencia has an advantage on the wing. Vicente is in very good form this season. Rufete has also performed well recently. In the middle there is Su Dong, who is 1.9 meters tall and has a clear advantage in high balls. At the same time, he is very impactful. And our four central defenders..."

Michel Henke didn't finish, but he believed that Hitzfeld knew it all.

Thomas Link, Robert Kovac, Kufuor and Demichelis, the four central defenders of Bayern Munich are all in the early 1.8 meters, and there is a gap of more than ten centimeters with Sudong. They must also suffer in physical confrontation.

Today's Bayern Munich is in an embarrassing transition stage, especially the defense, there are many problems.

But the game waits for no one.

"To be honest, I wonder, is he a prank by God? Otherwise, how could there be a center like Su Dong?" Michelle Henk asked with a wry smile.

Su Dong's type of center really completely subverted the impression of people in the football world.

What type is he?
The answer is, all types!
Whatever type you like him, he can be any type!
Valencia needs him to support the opponent's defense, and he can handle it; Aimar's absence requires him to retreat and connect, so he can play the role of the nine and a half; Vicente's absence, the wing is not strong enough, he can pull to the left like Henry, and use his speed and technology to break through the opponent on the wing.

Even under the pressure of Valencia's high position press, Su Dong, the center, played the role of the first line of defense.

He is omnipotent, and he is omnipotent!

Hearing his right-hand assistant's evaluation of Su Dong, Heathfield opened his eyes, looked at Su Dong wearing a Valencia jersey on TV, and suddenly felt a little regret, because he could also sign Su Dong at the beginning.

But he chose Roy Mackay!
The reason is simple. At that time, Ma Kai was the top scorer in La Liga and the winner of the European Golden Boot.

Although Su Dong performed well in the Portuguese Super League and won the UEFA Cup, the gold content is not enough.

Looking back now, the choice at that time cannot be said to be wrong, but at least it is regrettable.

If God gave him a chance to overthrow and start over, then Heathfield would definitely choose without hesitation, both of them!
"With the characteristics of our central defender, it is difficult for us to completely freeze Su Dong, so we can only make a fuss on the two sideways." Heathfield watched the video on TV and expressed his thoughts.

"According to the information obtained by the scouts, Aimar is estimated to continue to be absent. Then Valencia will definitely go on two wings. Vicente and Rufete will be important starting points for the offense. We must limit them and reduce Su Dong's chances of getting the ball."

Michelle Henk thought for a while, nodded and said: "The midfielder..."

"Demichelis and Hargreaves, both!"

"Both?" Michel Henk was a little surprised.

Demichelis is a defensive player who can play both central defender and defensive midfielder positions. Although Hargreaves also has certain offensive abilities, his most striking features are running and defense.

Ballack is the unshakable core of the team, and Ze Roberto is also the main midfielder. If Demichelis and Hargreaves both play, is the midfield starting lineup too defensive?

The first round was held at the Olympiastadion in Munich. Is it possible to play so conservatively at home?

Hitzfeld did not answer, but sighed softly.

Michel Henk understands Hitzfeld's concerns, and he is more inclined to focus on defense first.

There is a very troublesome part of the Champions League knockout system, that is, away goals.

Bayern Munich's defense this season is very problematic. They even almost failed to qualify in the group stage. In the end, they only got second place in the group. Only then did they meet Valencia, who qualified first in the group.

In such a cup match, the schedule of home first and then away is a disadvantage in itself. If the home team can't defend and gives the opponent an away goal, it will be quite unfavorable when it comes to the away game.

"Sudong is Valencia's strong point. We will definitely suffer a loss if we go head-to-head. Even if Sudong is defended, there will be problems elsewhere. Therefore, we must start a strong attack from the midfield and use the running of the midfielders to make up for the lack of defense."

To put it simply, it is the defensive numerical advantage to create a local advantage.

"But in this way, the offense is very problematic." Michel Henk reminded.

It cannot be said that Demichelis and Hargreaves have no offensive ability. The problem is that Bayern Munich adopts a four-midfield strategy, with Ze Roberto on one side and Salihamidzic on the other.

The corner of Heathfield's mouth twitched slightly, "Our central defender suffered a disadvantage when facing Su Dong. Do you think Valencia's central defender suffered a disadvantage when facing Ma Kai? How about adding another Pizarro?"

After finishing speaking, Heathfield's face full of grooves, especially those deeply sunken eyes, shone with wisdom.

He is Heathfield!

…………

…………

Aimar finally missed the game against Bayern Munich!
This is really not good news for Valencia.

The Bat Corps attack the Iron Triangle in the frontcourt. Vicente is on the left, Aimar occupies the center, and Su Dongding is at the forefront.

But when it came to the important game, Aimar was injured and retired one after another.

Before playing in Barcelona, ​​he had already shown signs of coming back, but even in Bayern Munich, he still failed to make a comeback. The reason was that he felt that the muscle strain was not thorough enough and he didn't dare to take risks.

Aimar's absence, Valencia's players have some regrets.

Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are pretty good. After all, they are domestic teams in Spain and they are familiar with each other. Moreover, Valencia has a sufficient lead in La Liga, but facing Bayern Munich is different.

The two rounds will determine who can enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League!

……

After playing Barcelona, ​​Valencia quickly held a preparatory meeting against Bayern Munich.

Benitez made a comprehensive analysis of Bayern Munich's current situation and believes that Valencia has a chance in the away game.

Due to the absence of Aimar, the Bat Corps needs to regroup the midfield.

It is not a big problem to start with the double midfielder, and there is no suspense on the two wings, except for the position of the midfielder.

Benitez decided to let Canobio start to fill Aimar's position.

At the preparatory meeting, Benitez explained why he did this. He hoped that Sudong could concentrate on suppressing the opponent's defense.

"The central defender combination of Robert Kovac and Kufuor is not solid. As long as we can create opportunities, these two central defenders will not be able to trap Sudong. We can score goals in the away game!"

With Canobio as the attacking midfielder, Vicente and Rufitte separated on the two wings, Benitez still hopes to give full play to Su Dong's advantage in the front line, because if Mista is allowed to start, it will basically be Su Dong's retreat.

Withdrawing the most threatening Sudong back is quite unfavorable for Valencia who want to grab away goals.

Mistako has never been an efficient scorer.

Assistant coach Yesterdan also reminded Su Dong emphatically that he will definitely be marked by Bayern Munich in the game, which requires him to be mentally prepared to overcome difficulties.

"The UEFA Champions League knockout round can be regarded as the highest technical and tactical competition in the world. Although Bayern Munich is not doing well recently, they are European giants. Kovac and Kufuor are both famous European players. Facing such a team and defense line, there should be no carelessness."

Su Dong nodded, promising that he would never be careless.

He is not afraid of any opponent, but he is not afraid of any opponent either.

At Sporting Lisbon back then, he didn't have the slightest fear in the face of the world's top central defenders like Stam and Mikhailovich in Serie A. How can he be afraid of Kovac and Kufuor now?
　Woohoo, my fault!I'm so busy today that I forgot to schedule this chapter at 18 o'clock!sorry!
