Chapter 521 Kahn's Successor

After being eliminated by AC Milan, Bayern suffered a major blow.

In the ensuing Bundesliga, the team lost [-]-[-] away to Stuttgart.

Su Dong played for Bayern starting from the No.19 round, and then Bayern ushered in a ten-game winning streak, but this time, he really couldn't save Bayern, because the whole team performed quite sluggishly.

The opponent scored two goals in less than 10 minutes, and Su Dong did not receive any support in the frontcourt.

Obviously, after being eliminated by AC Milan, Bayern suffered a huge blow from top to bottom.

And this is also the first time since Su Dong played for Bayern that he has not scored a goal.

For this result, Su Dong expressed his understanding, but he also reminded his teammates.

"There is not much time left to lick our wounds, we should get out of the predicament as soon as possible!"

…………

…………

A week later, in the No.30 round of the Bundesliga, Bayern played against Leverkusen at home.

After a week of adjustment and recovery, Bayern players gradually began to come out of the shadows, but Sagnol's injury still dealt a heavy blow to Bayern, which caused problems in the team's right-sided attack.

Leverkusen's goalkeeper Adler also performed very well in this game, with high blocks and low catches, saving many shots from Bayern, and trying to keep the goal of the pharmaceutical factory.

But in No. 30 minutes, Bayern finally broke through the goal of the pharmaceutical factory.

Salihamidzic picked a pass from the right, and Sudong volleyed from the right side of the penalty area and hit the far corner from close range, opening the scoring for Bayern.

Then Van Bommel made another move.

But Leverkusen caught Bayern's central defender's mistake in the second half. After a pass from the wing, Voronin hit the goal from the small penalty area.

In the end, Bayern defeated Leverkusen [-]-[-].

……

After the game, Su Dong, as a player representative of Bayern, participated in the post-match press conference and accepted inquiries from media reporters.

This is also Su Dong's first time to participate in the post-match press conference, and has been enthusiastically sought after by media reporters.

In answering the team's question, Su Dong said that Bayern has no problems at present, and he believes that the team has come out of the predicament.

"We will win the Bundesliga championship, there is no doubt about it!" Su Dong said irrefutably.

In addition to Bayern's own problems, the media also paid attention to a point that Su Dong himself did not notice.

That is, against Schalke [-], Su Dong took the initiative to exchange jerseys with Neuer, but when he played against Leverkusen tonight, Su Dong did not exchange jerseys with Adler, who also performed bravely. Does this mean that Su Dong is more optimistic about Neuer?

Su Dong laughed when he heard that, and didn't step into the hole dug for him by the media.

As Kahn ages, who can succeed Kahn has become the focus of attention in German football.

It can be said that no matter how high Kahn's achievements are, the Germans are now in a state of anxiety and panic.

Lensing, Neuer and Adler are the new generation of goalkeepers in [-], [-] and [-] respectively.

Neuer and Adler are the main goalkeepers of Schalke Zero Four and Bayer Leverkusen respectively.

Of course, before them, there was another bigger favorite, that is Hildebrand who played for Stuttgart.

Veteran Lehman also refused to step down easily. He fought with Kahn all his life, and finally got rid of Kahn, so why should he take the opportunity to take the position and live the addiction of being the No. [-] national team?
It can be said that the topic of Kahn's successor in German football is the most trafficked and controversial.

Su Dong is not stupid, and he will definitely not participate in it.

He smiled and said that he wanted to exchange jerseys with Adler because he performed very well tonight, but he was stopped halfway and his jersey was changed.

"Next time, definitely next time." Su Dong promised with a smile.

And when the German media was more straightforward and directly asked Su Dong who he thought was better, Adler or Neuer, Su Dong said that he was a striker and was not familiar with goalkeepers.

Forced by the media, Su Dong commented on the two goalkeepers.

He believes that the biggest feature of Adler is stability. He is currently one of the most stable goalkeepers in the Bundesliga, and so far this season, he has had very few or no long-range shots by his opponents.

For Neuer, Su Dong believes that his body is even better, and his control range is very large. The so-called control range is not limited to attacking, but also because of the large control range, Neuer, who is not strong enough at this stage, will often make some mistakes. This is what he needs to further improve in the future.

It can be said that the two young goalkeepers who are currently the most anticipated by German fans are both good and bad in the mouth of Su Dong. They try to be flat and have no obvious bias, which makes the media on the scene feel boring.

But if you dig into Su Dong's words carefully, it's not hard to see his bias.

To put it simply, Neuer is more in line with the football trend in the next few years. He has a wide range of control, has skills at his feet, and has an excellent body, which makes his entire talent ceiling very high. Relatively speaking, Adler is more traditional.

Not to mention, what Su Dong never mentioned was the character of the two players.

Character determines destiny, and Su Dong believed in this saying more and more.

You can be quiet, but you must not be weak, especially as a professional footballer.

They also conceded two goals. After playing Bayern, Adler said in an interview with reporters that conceding the ball made him feel very uncomfortable. He felt that he did not do well enough and let down his teammates.

What about Neuer?
After losing to Bayern, this heartless guy said in an interview with the media: "Let's let the past go. After this happens, I don't need other people's comfort. I know that it is my reason that caused the team to lose points."

As an ordinary person, Adler is a very good person, but as a professional player, especially a goalkeeper standing alone in front of the goal, Neuer is obviously stronger and more confident.

Whether it is a central defender or a goalkeeper, all defensive players have grown up amidst the scolding all the way.

Elegant like Nesta, that's what he became after he became a top central defender. Didn't he also get abused all the way when he was growing up?
So many people say that defenders and goalkeepers have to make constant mistakes and grow from mistakes.

At this time, the character of the players is particularly important. Only heartless guys like Neuer, Lucio, and Pepe lose the ball, lose points, and make major mistakes. They are still like normal people, eating, drinking, and having fun as usual. This is even better. It is not a good thing to care too much about their own mistakes and fail to get out.

This is why, after Su Dong played Schalke [-], he took the initiative to ask Neuer to exchange jerseys.

…………

…………

In the No.30 round of the Bundesliga, Bayern sits at home against Hamburg.

Although Hamburg is no longer the king of the North, the duel between the two teams is still very eye-catching.

In the end, Bayern defeated Hamburg [-]-[-] with Su Dong's brace.

The defensive problems were still exposed, which dissatisfied Heynckes who had been coaching the team for several months.

……

On Wednesday, after finishing training, Su Dong specially flew to Milan, Italy to watch the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final.

Manchester United shined in the knockout round of the quarter-finals. After losing [-]-[-] away to Roma, they beat the Italian Red Wolves [-]-[-] at home. This victory shocked the entire European football world.

Subsequently, in the first round of the semi-final, Manchester United defeated AC Milan [-]-[-] at home and gave the Rossoneri an away goal, but Kaka's goal also left suspense until the second round.

Sure enough, after returning to San Siro, AC Milan launched a fierce attack as soon as the game opened.

Kaka received an assist from Seedorf in the No. 11 minute and opened the scoring for AC Milan.

No. 30 minutes, Seedorf made another victory.

In half an hour, AC Milan scored two goals in a row, and AC Milan successfully reversed the score.

The game began to fall into a stalemate.

Su Dong clearly saw that the joining of Hargreaves and Carrick's double midfielder made Manchester United's midfield defense stronger and better, which allowed Scholes to devote more to passing and attacking.

The game entered the second half, and Manchester United still did not improve.

No. 707 minutes, Ferguson replaced O'Shea with Saha to strengthen the offense.

Saha's characteristic is to hold the ball with his back, which is very characteristic.

In the 83rd minute, after Saha took the ball with his back and handed it to Scholes, Cristiano Ronaldo crossed into the penalty area from the right, received a pass from Scholes, pushed from the right side of the penalty area, and broke AC Milan's goal.

From the start to the goal, Jankulovski couldn't keep up with Ronnie's speed!

This made Su Dong in the stands very excited.

He knew that Ronnie finally found the most suitable characteristics for him to play!
……

Manchester United eventually lost [-]-[-] to AC Milan, but with Ronnie's goal, they defeated AC Milan [-]-[-] on aggregate and successfully entered the Champions League final.

In the other half, Chelsea beat Liverpool [-]-[-] at home in the first leg of the semi-final. The Red Army successfully equalized the score at Anfield with Agger's goal.

In the penalty shootout, Liverpool defeated Chelsea [-]-[-] and successfully reached the final.

It is worth mentioning that Robben missed a penalty kick and goalkeeper Petr Cech did not perform well.

Since he suffered a fractured skull in the game against Reading in October last year, Cech's performance has plummeted. This makes Sudong feel very sorry, because Cech was such an excellent goalkeeper!

Robben missed a penalty kick, Chelsea were eliminated and missed the Champions League, which also made the Dutchman and Chelsea gradually drift away.

This season's Champions League final is between Manchester United and Liverpool, which staged a duel between the Premier League duo.

After watching the game, Su Dong immediately flew back to Munich from Milan, but on the way back, he specially sent a congratulatory message to Ronnie, asking him to make persistent efforts and try to win a Champions League.

Ronnie has performed so well this season. If he really wins the Champions League, his career will definitely take another big step, and he may even have the opportunity to win the World Footballer and the Golden Globe Award.
