Media and fans around the world were shocked by this, and also gave Chelsea's reversal high praise.
Whether it was Drogba's header before the end of the game, Cech's save of Robben's penalty at the end of stoppage time, or Terry and Lampard's dedicated efforts throughout the game, everyone saw it.
The elements that a classic reversal drama should have have made media and fans around the world talk about it.
Regarding Chelsea's reversal, this is more due to the tenacious persistence of the veterans. This also caused many British media to find out about Villas-Boas and continue to criticize the Portuguese, believing that Villas-Boas abandoned Drogba and Lampard in the first place.
And Terry couldn't be more wrong.
No, with Di Matteo re-appointing this central axis, Chelsea not only recovered their combat effectiveness, but these veterans even performed extremely well and rejuvenated, leading Chelsea to reverse Bayern Munich and reach the Champions League final.
Is there anything more convincing than this?
If there were still some people crying out for Villas when he dismissed class, then now, basically everyone has concluded that Chelsea made the right decision by firing him this time.
While the British media rushed to praise Chelsea's upset comeback, the German media complained more about the regret and embarrassment of Bayern Munich's victory but not scoring, and ultimately the loss of a good game.
Head coach Heynckes said after the game that Bayern should win, but unfortunately, the team lacked in seizing opportunities, resulting in repeated wasting of opportunities when they needed goals most, and ultimately lost them.
Right to promotion.
Bild directly targeted several stars in the team, believing that the most important factor for Bayern's failure in the semifinals for two consecutive seasons was the team's offense, with so many shots in the game.
, only scored one goal, which is unjustifiable.
Kicker magazine even directly criticized Robben.
As Bayern's number one star this season, Robben has performed very well whether in the league or the Champions League. But if you want to be the backbone of a wealthy team, your usual performance is not enough. More depends on watching.
Performance at critical moments.
If Robben had scored the penalty kick at the end of the game, he would have won unanimous praise, but unfortunately, Robben missed the precious penalty kick, which made him subject to overwhelming doubts.
This is also the risk of being a star player.
With great honor comes great responsibility, and with it comes pressure.
Kicker magazine believes that Robben does not have the ability to challenge Bayern. He missed penalty kicks at critical moments and failed to lead the team to defeat Chelsea in the crucial decisive battle, proving that Robben's hard power is not enough.
"For two consecutive seasons, Bayern Munich's performance was unsatisfactory as they stopped in the semi-finals. This is not because Bayern fans have become picky, but because Bayern has been so brilliant in the past few years that people have become accustomed to it.
If I win the championship with him, I feel that if I don’t win, it will be a failure.”
"With consecutive defeats in the semi-finals, it is not difficult to see that Bayern has indeed declined significantly in terms of hard power and fault tolerance compared to before. The most obvious one is the offensive end. Su Dong's departure has brought difficulties to Bayern's forward line.
There are irreparable deficiencies. Gomez cannot fill Sudong's vacancy at all, and Ribery and Robben are not enough to shoulder Sudong's burden."
Kicker magazine analyzed that after Su Dong joined Manchester City, this doubted mercenary team suddenly became the top team in European football, even killing giants along the way and reaching the Champions League finals, whether it was the group stage or the knockout rounds.
, every game is a tough battle, and Su Dong’s performance is obvious to all.
"Today's Bayern lacks a leader and core like Su Dong!"
Not only Kicker magazine, but also many Bayern Munich fans expressed their nostalgia for Su Dong.
On the morning after the team suffered a reversal from Chelsea, at the Bayern training base on Sebena Street, some Bayern fans even came to the scene wearing Su Dong's No. 9 jersey to express their nostalgia for Su Dong.
That was the happiest time for Bayern fans.
It is a pity that Su Dong belongs to Manchester City today.
…
Chelsea defeated Bayern and reached the Champions League final.
The Premier League duo meet at the Allianz Arena!
This quickly triggered a heated discussion among fans and media reporters around the world, because this was the first time in five years that the Premier League teams met again in the final. What is interesting is that Chelsea lost to Cristiano Ronaldo in the final.
Manchester United.
Now, Chelsea has reached the final again and faced another Manchester team, Manchester City.
We lost last time, can we turn the situation around this time?
Abramovich has invested in Chelsea for so many years, and his biggest wish is to win a Champions League. Whether it is bringing in Shevchenko or firing Mourinho, there is only one reason, and that is for the Champions League.
Now, Chelsea has finally reached the Champions League final again, especially facing Manchester City, who are participating in the Champions League for the first time. Everyone at Chelsea is full of expectations, hoping that the team can achieve something in the Champions League and achieve a breakthrough.
The Daily Mail, which is close to Chelsea, is even more ominous. After the team reversed Bayern Munich, Abramovich issued instructions to the club management, asking the club to formulate a final reward as soon as possible, hoping to stimulate the team to win in the final.
Continue to maintain a high level of performance and strive to defeat Manchester City and win the first Champions League championship in the club's history.
But the Daily Mail also revealed that Manchester City also gave unprecedented rewards and also wanted to win the first Champions League championship in the club's history.
Two teams that are both competing for the first Champions League in club history will meet in the Champions League final, which is undoubtedly quite interesting.
…………
…………
On the evening of April 30th, Manchester Etihad Stadium.
Ferguson stood in front of the visiting team's coach's bench, watching the intense match on the field intently. Occasionally, he turned to look at Manchester City's bench. Any disturbance inside made Ferguson nervous for a while.
Because Su Dong was sitting on the bench.
Now in the second half, the score between the two sides is still zero to zero.
Guardiola did not arrange for Su Dong tonight, but let him sit on the bench.
This is actually understandable, because this game has little effect on both sides.
Manchester City has won the league championship early, and Manchester United has also secured second place in the league early. The significance of this derby game is far greater than the significance of the league.
But this is Manchester City's home ground.
If Guardiola really wants to win and beat Manchester United twice, then he will definitely replace Su Dong in the final stage of the game to strengthen the attack.
This is what Ferguson was wary of.
Guardiola is a young head coach whom he is very optimistic about, but he is a little eager to win, a little ungrateful, and does not know how to respect the elderly at all. He thinks about the Yangtze River all day long and wants to beat the front wave to death.
On the beach, is this ridiculous?
But Ferguson had to admit that if Guardiola tried his best, Manchester United would be difficult to stop.
The key is, this guy Su Dong is so outrageous.
Just when Ferguson was thinking about it, he saw a movement on the Manchester City bench.
Su Dong stood up from his seat and slowly walked to the sidelines to warm up.
In fact, there was no need for Ferguson to pay attention at all. All the fans were staring at the bench. As soon as Su Dong stood up, all the Manchester City fans immediately cheered and shouted Su Dong's name crazily.
Is he going to play?
Ferguson's heart skipped a beat.
Damn it, Guardiola is really not a good guy!
…
Amid Ferguson's slander, Su Dong replaced Dzeko in the 75th minute.
Only eight minutes after coming on the field, Rooney made a breakthrough with the ball from the left side of the front court. When he wanted to break through Trippier, he accidentally kicked the ball out of bounds and turned it into a foul ball for Manchester City.
The gap between the two sides in this game is very large, especially reflected in the statistics.
Take throw-ins as an example, Manchester City got fourteen throw-ins, while Manchester United only got two.
Yes, you read that right, only twice.
It can be seen from this data that Manchester United's performance in this game was indeed very embarrassing, and almost the whole game was passively beaten.
Trippier quickly stepped forward, picked up the football, wiped it clean with his jersey, and threw it quickly.
Toni Kroos volleyed the ball directly to the unguarded area in the middle.
Manchester United's deep-lying midfield position has always been a weakness, especially in the absence of Michael Carrick.
After Su Dong retreated to catch the ball, there was no one to defend him. After stopping the ball and turning around, he didn't hesitate and rushed directly with the ball.
Su Dong, who rushed up with the ball, was very fast and specifically targeted the weak points of Manchester United's defense.
Outside the top area of the arc, Smallin made a decisive move and tried to stop Su Dong. Unexpectedly, as soon as the two sides met, Su Dong made a fake move and spiked the ball continuously. He passed Smallin directly and rushed to the arc with the ball.
On the left side of the top area, without waiting for Ferdinand to rush forward to help defend, he directly raised his left foot and fired a furious shot.
The ball flew like a cannonball towards Manchester United's goal with lightning speed.
Although De Gea has been paying close attention to Su Dong's movements, firstly, he was partially blocked by Smallin and Ferdinand. Secondly, Su Dong continuously deceived Smallin with fake moves and also confused De Gea.
Ya, let the Spanish goalkeeper see Su Dong kicking and then fly away.
But at this time, where is the time?
The ball flew directly into the left side of Manchester United's goal with lightning speed.
“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!”
"In the 84th minute, less than nine minutes after Su Dong came on the field, he used a wonderful left-footed volley to open the scoring for Manchester City!"
"Manchester City, playing at home, finally scored Manchester United's goal with their 26th shot."
"This is also Su Dong's second shot after coming on the court."
"It's really full of efficiency, and one has to admire Su Dong's tyrannical strength."
"Manchester United's central defender can't stop Su Dong at all, especially Su Dong who rushes with the ball, he is absolutely unstoppable!"
