Drogba's goal ignited the passion of Marseille fans and also made the Marseille players on the field full of fighting spirit.
They defeated Brugge with three goals in the first round. As long as they overturn Valencia tonight, Marseille will have two consecutive victories in the Champions League group.
Under the circumstances, the possibility of advancing to the knockout rounds becomes greater.
But Valencia is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
Especially Su Dong, after feeling Drogba's provocation, he also held back his strength and wanted to change his colors.
Just seven minutes after Drogba scored, Valencia intercepted the ball in midfield and made a quick counterattack. Aimar dribbled the ball to the left side of the center and quickly passed it to the left wing.
Vicente drove straight in and received Aimar's pass on the left side of the penalty area. When he stopped the ball, he looked up at the penalty area, got ahead of Marseille's right back Perez, and sent the ball into the penalty area.
Su Dong rushed over and used his body to block Ivory Coast defender Mete behind him and stop the ball.
Meite is behind Su Dong, and Van Buyten is on the side and behind, ready to help defend and fill the position. In addition, goalkeeper Lenye is in a good position. Even if he barely turns around, the angle of his kick is not large.
A thought passed through his mind like lightning. Su Dong immediately controlled the ball at his feet. Looking back, Aimar and Baraja were following him, and there was no one around Baraha.
Realizing this, Su Dong made a prompt decision and did not turn towards the goal. Instead, he turned his back to the goal and knocked the ball back to Baraja who came in behind.
After Valencia's midfielder stepped in, he faced Su Dong's pass and shot without thinking.
Marseille goalkeeper Lenye had been wary of Soudong, but Baraja's furious shot hit the lower right corner, leaving Lenye out of reach and could only watch the ball go into the net.
One to one!
Marseille only took the lead for seven minutes before Valencia managed to equalize the score!
After scoring the goal, Baraja was so excited that he danced with joy.
This midfielder of the Bat Legion is both offensive and defensive, especially good at long-range shots with one kick, which is his specialty.
He also relied on this method to become the team's top scorer before.
"Su, that pass just now was so comfortable!"
Baraja, who was celebrating his goal on the sidelines, opened his arms excitedly when he saw Su Dong running over and hugged Su Dong tightly.
This goal should really be thanked to Su Dong, not only because the assist was comfortable, but also because Su Dong opened the defensive attention for him, allowing Baraja's long shot to hit the lower right corner directly.
"It's just one-on-one, let's work harder!" Su Dong said with a smile.
Valencia's players also cheered in unison.
…
"This kid is really not simple!" Drogba said with admiration.
He is the international player of Cote d'Ivoire, so he naturally knows the strength of Mete.
If nothing else, Drogba may not be able to fully suppress Mete's physical fitness and strength.
But just now, Meite was suppressed by Su Dong and was unable to move.
Although this has a height advantage, the physical strength confrontation is indeed not bad.
That assist was also very beautiful. Being able to see Baraja proved that Su Dong had a broad vision and fine skills with his feet.
All these gave Drogba a personal understanding of Su Dong's strength.
"Not simple? How much more difficult can it be?"
Mido looked at the Valencia players celebrating and huddled together on the sidelines, and his eyes naturally fell on Su Dong.
They are all young players, all come from famous youth training schools in Europe, and all have played in the powerful La Liga teams. Mido is not convinced at all by Su Dong, because he also performed well when he was at Celta Vigo.
If the transfer fee hadn't been insufficient, Celta Vigo would have signed him long ago.
It is a pity that he can only come to Marseille to compete in Ligue 1.
But from the bottom of his heart he was dissatisfied with Su Dong, the upstart in La Liga.
"Don't be dissatisfied, he is indeed very strong." Drogba said.
Mido looked at Drogba and snorted secretly in his heart, a country bumpkin who has never seen the world, has he ever seen a strong person?
"If he can reverse the situation and score a goal in a short period of time, I will respect him!" Mido said harshly and walked towards the center circle.
Drogba looked at Mido's back with a wry smile in his eyes.
He has never seen anyone in these years, how could he not know Mido's little thoughts?
The more they get along with each other, the more Drogba can understand why Ajax is unwilling to keep him and Celta Vigo did not sign him due to lack of transfer funds.
Marseille is not a weakling.
It's okay to score a goal in a sudden attack, but is it possible to score again in a short time?
…
Four minutes later.
"Another successful steal from the Valencia midfielder."
"Alberda grabbed the ball and handed it to Baraja."
"Baraja passed the ball forward, Aimar took the ball and planned a quick counterattack."
"Argentina belted the ball forward and sent a through ball!"
“Nice straight shot!”
"Su Dong is very fast!"
"Oh my God, he was like a bolt of lightning that penetrated the defense of Van Buyten and Mete in an instant."
"At the front of the penalty area, Su Dong received the ball and passed goalkeeper Lenye..."
"The ball went in!!!!!!"
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"In the 35th minute, Su Dong scored another victory for Valencia, two to one!"
“Valencia successfully reversed course!”
"This is simply unbelievable. In just four minutes, Valencia scored two goals."
"Su Dong passed and shot, continuing his outstanding performance in recent times and leaving a very deep impression on us."
"From the slow-motion replay, we can see that Su Dong's speed is really very fast."
"Is he really 1.95 meters tall? Now I seriously doubt whether he is a human being?"
"Otherwise, why can he completely escape the influence of gravity and not only have a tall and strong body as expected, but also have such amazing speed and explosive power?"
…
Drogba looked dumbfounded.
The Ivory Coast center was really stunned!
A few minutes ago, he was just thinking, how could this be possible?
But right away, Su Dong made it become a reality!
Although he did not experience it personally, Drogba could feel the impact of Su Dong's lightning speed just now.
Van Buyten is tall and strong, but his turns and speed are slow, which makes him unable to block Su Dong's frontal impact.
Met stepped sideways to help defend, but in terms of speed competition, he couldn't keep up with Su Dong at all.
Marseille's two centers were completely knocked down!
Drogba turned his head again, glanced at his teammate Mido, and found that the Egyptian center had a very interesting look on his face, as if he had been slapped several times, but he was still in the wrong and could not fight back, so he could only hold it in.
Swallow it into your stomach.
At this moment, the Ivorians were somewhat relieved of their hatred!
"I told you before, this kid is not simple!" Drogba said calmly.
Mido didn't dare to say anything more this time.
He was very afraid. If he said one more thing, what would happen if Su Dong scored again?
If you were slapped on the right cheek, you can't slap the other cheek as well, right?
…………
…………
The first half ended temporarily with a score of 2-1.
But in the second half, Valencia quickly took control of the situation after changing sides and fighting again.
Su Dong only played until the 65th minute before being replaced by Mista.
There is also a focus game of La Liga in the middle of the week. Valencia is visiting the Nou Camp. Benitez cannot let Su Dong fight on multiple fronts continuously, which will consume a lot of his physical energy.
Seeing that the game situation was basically stable and Marseille failed to reverse the situation after two substitutions, Benitez boldly replaced Su Dong and asked Mista to replace Su Dong.
In the 81st minute, Aimar assisted Mista, who came on as a substitute, to score, giving Valencia another victory.
Three minutes later, Carmel Merian assisted Steve Marley to score.
In the end, Valencia narrowly defeated Marseille 3-2 in an away game.
…
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Su Dong, who was sitting on the bench, immediately stood up, walked to the sidelines, and faced his teammates who were coming off the field. The first ones to bear the brunt were Vicente and Aimar, and the three of them hugged each other.
A bunch.
As the cooperation on the court becomes more and more tacit, and the age difference off the court is not very big, the three of them get along quite well.
Valencia is a mature team, and most of the players are in their prime. Even Aimar is already 23, and Vicente is 22, both of whom are several years older than Su Dong.
age.
Not to mention the main players, even in the entire first team, there are only two people who are similar in age to Su Dong.
One is the new aid Mohamed Sissoko, and the other is Raul Albiol, a young player from the youth training who can play as a defensive midfielder and central defender. However, these two have not been able to play many games for the time being, and neither does Su Dong.
Not much interaction.
While Su Dong was chatting with Aimar and Vicente, Drogba walked over from the Marseille crowd and walked straight towards Su Dong. As he walked, he took off his jersey and held it in his hand.
.
"You performed really well!" Drogba came to Su Dong and handed over the sweat and stained jersey.
Su Dong also quickly took off his coat, took off the jersey he was still wearing, and handed it to Drogba.
"Thank you! You performed well too, scoring four goals in two rounds of the group stage."
Drogba's performance was indeed good, especially his hat trick against Brugge, which showed his strength.
When looking at the majestic body of the African-American player, especially the bulging muscles full of explosive power, Su Dong really felt envious. He looked like a peerless hunk in a Hollywood movie.
"To be honest, before the game, I was really not convinced by you, but now..."
When Su Dong saw Drogba smiling, he thought he would say something next, but now I'm convinced.
Unexpectedly, after the Ivorian laughed, he continued: "But now... I still don't accept it!"
Damn, can you speak human language?
Su Dong wanted to punch him, but considering that his strength might not be as good as Drogba's, he resisted the urge to do it.
"I hope that next time I compete with you, I will win!" Drogba left a hope.
Su Dong was noncommittal, but when he looked at Drogba's leaving back, he really thought a lot.
Although he has only played a few games in La Liga, he really feels that with Drogba's strength and characteristics, he has a chance to establish himself in the four major leagues. He now lacks a head coach who appreciates him.
"This guy is not simple!" Su Dong muttered to himself.
