i want to be king

Chapter 509 Because I am Su Dong!

On the evening of February [-], at the Max-Morlock Stadium in Nuremberg.

In the No.20 round of the Bundesliga, Bayern challenged Nuremberg away.

Before the game, Beckenbauer reminded Bayern in the column that Nuremberg would be a tough nut to crack.

Heynckes also paid enough attention to his opponent in this game.

Goalkeeper Kahn, the defense line is Ram, Lucio, Van Buyten and the vice-captain Sagnol who has returned from injury, the midfielder is Schweinsteiger, Van Bommel, Mascherano and Salihamidzic, and the double forwards are Su Dong and Ma Kai.

This is also Bayern's standard four-four-two lineup configuration.

Throughout the first half, Bayern's offense was not ideal.

The midfielder is solid enough, but lacks creativity and cannot effectively pass the ball to the frontcourt, especially the ball to Su Dong's feet.

Su Dong and Ma Kai obviously had conflicts in front. The two often ran to the same area, which made it very awkward for each other to play football. Especially Su Dong, when he retreated to meet the midfielder and took the initiative to connect the frontcourt, he was about to rush with the ball and found that the defensive player was brought over by Ma Kai.

The Dutch center forward is also very depressed, because his playing habits are like this.

In the past, his teammates opened up the defense for him, so that he got used to his own style of play, which made it difficult to change for a while.

Therefore, in the second half of the first half, Su Dong consciously accommodated Ma Kai, allowing himself to retreat and pull sideways, but in this way, he had to stay away from threatening areas. Although he also made a good pass, Ma Kai and other teammates failed to grasp it.

Especially the two sides, the problem is very serious.

Salihamidzic will leave after the end of this season, and his current performance on the court is really unsatisfactory.

It can't be said that he doesn't work hard, but after all, he is over [-] years old, and his condition has been really bad recently, it can only be said that he is far from showing his strength and threat.

Schweinsteiger on the left also has a lot of problems. His speed is too slow and he can't rush from the side.

Throughout the first half, Su Dong played very awkwardly.

He now really sees clearly why Bayern can only rank fourth in the first half of the Bundesliga.

To be honest, with this kind of offensive ability, ranking fourth is not bad.

That is to say, in the Bundesliga, Bayern has a strong background. If it is placed in La Liga, it is estimated to be in the middle and lower reaches.

The only surprise in the first half was the defensive midfielder Mascherano.

The Argentine midfielder replaced Demichelis and served as the starting midfielder. As a result, in the first half, he almost perfectly proved what it means to be invincible.

He spared no effort to run and cover in the midfield, ensuring the defensive hardness of Bayern's midfield. At the same time, his ability to hold and pass the ball is also good, and his stability is very high, which ensures that he will not lose the ball easily after stealing.

Under the protection of Mascherano, Lucio and Van Buyten also performed more actively, each with the performance of rushing forward with the ball.

But on the offensive end, Bayern's performance was unsatisfactory anyway.

Even before the end of the first half, the commentators at the scene shouted excitedly on the radio, "We managed to freeze Sudong!"

At the same time, it is also encouraging the players in Nuremberg to make persistent efforts in the second half.

"Let's use our unbreakable defense to tell Su Dong that we are not easy to mess with!"

The stadium, which accommodated nearly [-] fans, suddenly heard overwhelming cheers.

……

When Su Dong was about to walk into the player tunnel, he vaguely heard his name mentioned on the radio, and then heard the cheers of the fans. He immediately asked Schweinsteiger who was walking beside him curiously.

"What are they shouting?"

Schweinsteiger knew that Su Dong was learning German, but it wasn't enough. He could only use some simple football terms in training and games, and he could only communicate in English in private.

Little Pig opened his mouth to say something, but hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Anyway, you don't want to hear it."

Su Dong suddenly realized that all the away fans in the world were like this.

In fact, the fans in Nuremberg have already given face tonight, and the attendance rate is full.

"Seriously, Piggy, I think you should consider playing in the middle and continue on the side..." Su Dong shook his head.

This sentence itself is a simple exchange of words, but Su Dong and Schweinsteiger can still chat a few words, so I mentioned it.

"I also want to play in the middle, but there is no one on the side."

This is also a very troublesome thing.

There is really no one on the wing of Bayern, especially in the case of Salihamidzic's sluggish performance.

Su Dong smiled, "Let's annoy the old man."

Schweinsteiger also smiled wryly, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

……

During the intermission, Heynckes mentioned that Bayern's biggest problem now is the lack of tacit cooperation, the overall speed is too slow, and there are too many mistakes under the oppression of the opponent.

Heynckes is quite satisfied with the defense, but he requires Lucio to pose enough threats when going forward. Blindly going forward without a threat is redundant, and any mistake will endanger the safety of the team's goal.

As for the lack of creativity...

"Roy, you worked hard in the first half. We need to adjust the team's tactics in the second half. You need to rest first. We will need you more in the future, especially in the Champions League." Heynckes said to Ma Kai.

The Dutch center froze, but soon understood.

For this situation, he has long been mentally prepared.

He has always known that when Su Dong came to Bayern, he would either hand over the tactical authority of the number one center forward, or become a substitute, or even leave the team, and the latter is more likely because he is 32 years old.

"I understand." Ma Kai didn't hold back, stood up and nodded to Heynckes, then walked straight to the shower area.

Heynckes then looked at Salihamidzic again, "Hassan, you also take a rest in the second half."

Angel Wing was a little depressed, and seemed somewhat lamented that he was no longer as brave as before, but he still got up and walked to the shower area.

"In the second half we adopted a four-three-three tactic, Javier, you still play late." Heynckes pointed to Mascherano.

"Received." The Argentine midfielder was the team's best player in the first half, bar none.

"Mark, Luka, you are in charge of the midfield."

Van Bommel and Modric both nodded.

"Little Pig, I will leave the right path to you."

"Don't worry," Schweinsteiger promised.

"Marcelo."

"I'm here!" The Brazilian boy jumped up immediately.

As early as he was called into the dressing room, he knew he could come off the bench.

"I know you are a left back, but now you need to play a left winger. You have always said that you are a technical player. Now you can use your skills and speed to cause some trouble for the opponent on the left side. Can you do it?"

"No problem," Marcelo assured.

"Su." Heynckes looked at Su Dong.

In fact, the old German coach knew in his heart that Su Dong played very aggrieved in the first half.

Unlike the first show, Ma Kai in this game also held his strength. After starting with Su Dong, he performed very hard, but the effect was counterproductive.

From now on, it is difficult for Heynckes to directly win Ma Kai, after all, this is Bayern's striker thigh in the past few years.

What he said just now, in fact, he was also implying Ma Kai that Su Dong could not play in the Champions League, so Bayern will let Ma Kai start in the Champions League next time, while Su Dong will focus on the domestic league.

"In the second half, we will play four-three-three. If you come forward, I will allow you to fire infinitely!"

Su Dong raised his right hand to indicate receipt, and nodded towards Heynckes.

"Is there anything you want to say?" Heynckes asked Su Dong with concern.

Su Dong looked at his teammates and found that everyone was looking at him, and many of them seemed to have no fighting spirit or confidence.

This is the current mental outlook of Bayern. The first half of the game was so bad that it crippled the confidence and fighting spirit of all the players.

Once confidence is lost, it will be a long process to regain it.

It takes one victory after another to slowly accumulate.

Su Dong decided to say something and immediately stood up.

"Everyone, maybe we are a little arrogant when we say this, but I believe that I have the qualifications to say such things."

Su Dong's opening remarks surprised everyone present, because the tone was indeed a bit crazy, unlike Su Dong's style.

"I am very happy to come to Bayern and play with everyone. I don't know how you performed in the first half, but I can guarantee that we will not be like the first half in the second half, because I am here!"

"On the court, I need everyone's help. As long as you help me stretch the opponent's defense line, one-on-one, I can kill any defensive player in the world. One-on-two, as long as the timing is right, I can still create a threat."

"No matter when, no matter what kind of ball is passed to me, I have the confidence to send it into the opponent's goal!"

After speaking, Su Dong sat back to his seat.

The entire locker room fell into a deathly silence.

What Su Dong said is indeed a bit arrogant, but he does have the qualifications to say such things, because he is Su Dong who has won the double football player for two consecutive years!

Heynckes nodded secretly in his heart, because he knew that the Bayern players were very hesitant and lacked confidence.

Su Dong's remarks seemed arrogant, but in fact they gave the Bayern players the backbone and told them what to do on the court.

"Have you heard that? Sue said that as long as you open the defense and create opportunities for him, he can score goals." When Heynckes said this, he touched his slightly red nose and said with a smile: "Frankly speaking, I am looking forward to it!"

"If you can't score a goal, please have a big meal." The jumping Marcelo immediately became excited, as if wishing that Su Dong could not score a goal so that he could have a big meal.

This move made everyone in the locker room smile.

Su Dong pulled this guy to sit down, regretting that he didn't discipline him properly on weekdays.

But Marcelo is indeed a good fan, and he directly messed up the atmosphere in the locker room.

As the captain, Kahn also quickly stood up and encouraged everyone to perform well.

And Su Dong knew in his heart that what he said was unsubstantiated. He had to show a good performance on the court to prove that he was worthy of the starting single forward and what he said in the locker room.

Not long after the start of the second half, his opportunity came.

This is a high ball from Sagnol near the center line from the right.

It's hard to stop and hard to pick up.
