The ceremony for Su Dong to join Barcelona was very simple, especially compared to the situation when Zidane landed at the Bernabeu, it seemed very shabby, but it is the norm in European football.
Barcelona staff arrived at the hotel at 9:30 in the morning, picked up Su Dong, agent Mendes, personal trainer Nuno Cruz and physical therapist Grant Downing, and then went to the hospital designated by Barcelona for a physical examination.
This is just a process. In fact, Barcelona has already received Su Dong's detailed physical report.
After the physical examination was completed, Su Dong came to the Camp Nou and had lunch with Barcelona Chairman Laporta, Vice Chairman Rosell, Godard and Soriano. In the afternoon, he was in Chairman Laporta's room.
In the office, the contract was officially signed.
From this moment on, Su Dong officially becomes a Barcelona player!
After signing the contract, Su Dong, as usual, put on Barcelona's No. 9 jersey and appeared at the Nou Camp.
After taking a series of photos to be sent to major newspapers around the world, Su Dong returned to the office again.
After taking a short rest, we have to prepare for the press conference.
This will also be the first time Su Dong directly faces the media after joining Barcelona, and it will also be the first press conference dedicated to Su Dong.
What surprised Su Dong was that head coach Rijkaard, captain Puyol, and local midfielder Xavi all arrived and had a brief exchange with Su Dong. The main content of the conversation was about the next cooperation.
, and some situations in the locker room.
As a superstar signed for a record 80 million euros, Barcelona attaches great importance to Su Dong.
Not only is head coach Rijkaard under great pressure, but captain Puyol and local player Xavi are also under pressure.
If Su Dong feels uncomfortable, they will all feel uncomfortable as well.
Fortunately, Su Dong is not a difficult person to get along with.
I had talked with Rijkaard before, and now I met Puyol and Xavi. After a few words, we could start talking to each other.
The most important thing is that Su Dong did not show an aggressive personality, and more deliberately kept a low profile.
Puyol and Xavi were originally a little worried about Su Dong's youth and arrogance, but after meeting in person and talking for a few words, they were relieved.
What surprised Su Dong even more was that Ronaldinho, who had just talked on the phone not long ago, also hurriedly arrived at Camp Nou before the press conference was about to begin.
Judging from his travel-worn appearance, he flew here from Brazil on a special trip.
…
"Hey, man!"
Su Dong went up to him with a smile and hugged Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho was also very happy. He smiled, showing his playful buck teeth, and said to Su Dong: "Your idol provoked me on the phone yesterday and said, together we can't defeat them, what do you say?"
all?"
"Does this need to be said?" Su Dong asked with a smile, "Of course it's to the point of death!"
Ronaldinho immediately laughed and hugged Su Dong again, nodding his head.
When he first debuted, his nickname was Ronaldo, which means Ronaldo's successor.
Although he has a close relationship with Ronaldo, deep down he still wants to defeat aliens.
Now, after meeting the so-called [Ronaldo II], the two of them thought of going together again. It was natural that they had similar interests.
On the contrary, everyone else at Barcelona was puzzled.
How come these two guys who are competing for the top spot on the team don't get a little bit angry when they meet?
Could it be said that both of them are scheming men? On the surface, they are fighting each other, but secretly they are scheming?
In fact, they really misunderstood!
Ronaldinho said on the phone to Su Dong that he had no intention of getting involved in management matters or fighting for anything. He just wanted to play football and play happily.
.
Wouldn’t it be nice to spend a few more nights having fun while you have the time to fight for power?
He felt that it would be a very happy thing to be a teammate with Su Dong.
Su Dong also felt that it would not be difficult to cooperate with him.
No, other people looked at it with suspicion, but the two of them had no grudge and even talked about the housing issue.
Ronaldinho directly stated that Su Dong could live in his house temporarily, but considering that Su Dong had a whole team, it was really inconvenient to bother Ronaldinho, so he had to give up.
"Seriously, buy a house in our community. It's quite cheap. There's a house for sale near my home. I'll take you there to have a look later. How about it?" Ronaldinho suggested enthusiastically.
road.
"Of course, no problem. My request is actually quite simple." After a pause, Su Dong thought of his home in Shanghai, "Well, just don't decorate it too old-fashioned. It's best to be simple and practical. The basement can be transformed into a
A gym, and even better if the garden space is large enough to be converted into a small football pitch and swimming pool.”
Ronaldinho clapped his hands vigorously and said, "There is no need for a small football field. I have one at home. You can come to my house later and play. The door will be open for you 24 hours a day. We can even compete against each other."
At this moment, the Brazilian talent showed a hint of eagerness to compete, but everyone could see that this had nothing to do with the team's status or anything else, it was just that he was very skilled and wanted to compete with his opponents.
In the Barcelona team last season, there were really few people who could compete with him in small football stadiums.
Of course Su Dong agreed, but he thought of Messi in his mind.
With Messi's size and characteristics, he should have an advantage in small football stadiums.
Well, let’s do it!
In the future, when Ronaldinho comes to visit, Su Dong will ask Messi to deal with him!
…
The press conference went smoothly.
After all, this was the first game Su Dong faced the media after joining, and the questions were relatively easy to answer, and there were no hidden dangers.
But there are still media inquiries about the team, and Su Dong has already done this with ease.
Regarding Rijkaard, Su Dong said that he was particularly impressed by Barcelona's football style in the second half of last season. It was a desirable football and I was very honored to be a part of it.
Su Dong said that he will not be affected by last season's results.
"I am a new student at Barcelona. Everyone here is my teacher. I hope to learn more and get help from everyone."
Su Dong also praised Puyol by name, thinking that he is a natural leader, and also praised midfielder Xavi.
In Barcelona last season, the iron triangle in the midfield consisted of Xavi and Davis advancing, with Cocu playing as a defensive midfielder. This freed up Ronaldinho, and Xavi also showed excellent passing skills.
Ball and organizational skills.
It can be said that Barcelona's strength in the second half is inseparable from Rijkaard's finding of this mature style of play.
Su Dong smiled and said that he was very familiar with Deco. He believed that Deco could fill Davis's vacancy and form Barcelona's dream midfielder together with Xavi.
His words also indirectly answered many rumors about the position conflict between Deco and Ronaldinho.
Many people believe that Ronaldinho is an attacking midfielder and Deco is also an attacking midfielder in Porto. It is difficult for the two to be compatible with each other.
But Su Dong said that Deco is both offensive and defensive, and he does very well in both aspects. Ronaldinho is a talented attacker. He is further forward than Deco, while Xavi is next to Deco.
's best partner.
When the media asked who is better between Barcelona's midfield and Valencia's midfield, Su Dong smiled and said that both teams are very strong, but their styles are completely different.
"Albelda and Baraja are undoubtedly world-class midfielders, but they tend to be more defensive, while Ronaldinho, Deco and Xavi have better midfield creativity and passing and ball control abilities. This is
Two different types of midfielders."
For Ronaldinho, Su Dong was full of praise, saying that the Brazilian is the most dreamy player in world football today. He is very happy to play alongside teammates like Ronaldinho. This is his
pleasure.
The media also quickly asked a sharp question, that is, how does Sudong position his tactical role in Barcelona's formation?
This is really hard to answer.
Not only Rijkaard, but also Ronaldinho, Puyol, Xavi and others all showed concern.
Su Dong nodded, knowing very well that he could not answer too modestly, because it would make people look down on him.
If a star brought in with 80 million euros is too polite, it will not be modest, but cowardly. But if he acts too sharp, it will easily offend his teammates around him.
After carefully considering his words, Su Dong approached the microphone with a smile.
"I am a center and cannot do without the support and help from my teammates around me. I need everyone's breakthroughs and crosses, everyone's passing and cooperation, and I need everyone to open up the opponent's defense for me..."
"I want to say, please rest assured, leave the penalty area to me. In one-on-one situations, I can defeat any opponent!"
Su Dong's words won him thunderous applause from the audience.
Not only the media reporters at the scene applauded him, but Rijkaard, Ronaldinho, Puyol and Xavi also applauded Su Dong's words vigorously.
It can be said that he is neither humble nor arrogant!
It not only highlights the importance of teammates, but also reveals one's own confidence and confidence.
In one-on-one situations in the penalty area, Su Dong was confident enough to defeat all the defensive players.
He can defeat his opponent in any way!
…
After the press conference, when Su Dong left Camp Nou, many Barcelona fans gathered outside.
They were all extremely excited about Su Dong's joining, and even a fan organization had prepared a song for him.
The fans at the scene sang a song they wrote specially for Su Dong, showing their expectations and appreciation for Su Dong.
This also made everyone in Barcelona clearly feel the expectations of Barcelona fans for Su Dong.
In the past few years, Barcelona has been in decline and turmoil for too long!
The strong performance in the second half of last season gave everyone hope, and at this critical moment, Su Dong came to Camp Nou, which undoubtedly gave Barcelona fans a shot in the arm.
They believe that under the leadership of Su Dong and Ronaldinho, Barcelona will be able to usher in a revival!
