Perhaps due to the attraction of Barcelona's stars, or the stimulation of Sodong's remarks before the game, Barcelona's warm-up match against Suwon Samsung attracted more than 30,000 fans, far exceeding the organizers' previous expectations.
The Korean fans who flocked to the Suwon World Cup Stadium frantically spared no effort to cheer for the home team from the beginning of the game.
Suwon Samsung also showed an aggressive momentum, showing the style of the Korean Tai Chi Tigers during the Korea-Japan World Cup, using physical strength to run to suppress Barcelona, making it difficult for Barcelona, who came from afar, to control the ball and rhythm at the beginning of the game.
On the scene, the two teams were vaguely evenly matched, and even Suwon Samsung seemed to have a slight advantage.
The only shortcoming is that neither side could create a good scoring opportunity.
But to be able to push Barcelona, a star-studded team, into this situation, the fans of the home team are already very satisfied.
More than 30,000 fans at the scene believe that as long as they continue to run like this and defend like this, it will not be difficult for Suwon Samsung to defeat Barcelona in an upset.
Especially when the first half of the game entered thirty minutes, the score was still zero to zero. Barcelona still looked a bit disorganized and difficult to organize a threatening attack, which made the fans at the scene even more excited.
Even the Korean football commentator who was responsible for the live broadcast said, "Barcelona is actually not as strong as we imagined."
"And Su Dong, it's really hard for us to believe that Barcelona is willing to pay a record-breaking price of 80 million euros for him!"
"Perhaps, as previously reported by the media, Barcelona signed Su Dongpo because of Asia, especially the Chinese market. They hope to use Su Dongpo as a stepping stone to open up the Chinese market."
"Suwon Samsung head coach Cha Bum-geun seems very satisfied with the trend of the game. I believe he and his team can accomplish a feat and give Barcelona a slap in the face and let them know that there are strong teams in Asian football."
"And the referee, his enforcement is quite fair."
…
Su Dong did not hear what the Korean live broadcast commentator said, otherwise, he would have sneered at it.
How can the referee be considered fair if he is so obviously biased towards the home team?
Sure enough, the Koreans have the same character as they did in the World Cup two years ago.
But Barcelona still played very patiently.
Neither Su Dong nor Ronaldinho are in a hurry in the frontcourt.
Barcelona still faces 433 tonight. The goalkeeper is Valdes, the defense is Sylvinho, Oleg, Puyol and Belletti, and the midfielder is Herard, Deco and Xavi.
Up front, Ronaldinho, Su Dong and Giuly form the front trident.
In terms of strength, it is far above Suwon's three stars, but traveling a long distance, encountering the home team waiting for work, and the referee's home whistle, all these caused Barcelona to encounter trouble in the early stages.
But for all this, Barcelona players have already had experience in dealing with it.
Even Su Dong, the youngest player on the court, is a experienced professional player.
Since the Koreans want to run, Barcelona certainly has no reason to stop them.
So after the game started, Barcelona kept passing the ball and letting the Koreans keep running.
At first, when they were full of energy, they all ran well, not only containing Barcelona's organization and offensive, but also creating some offensive opportunities, but they failed to pose a threat.
But gradually, the Suwon Samsung players began to realize that something was wrong.
Barcelona was like walking a monkey, sneaking past them.
Not to mention the offensive players in the frontcourt, even the defenders can't pass and receive the ball very well.
Korean players can indeed run, and they can run again. Can they run the entire game without stopping?
Not to mention the whole game, thirty minutes into the game, they began to be unable to keep up, and they were all out of breath.
When the game reached the 32nd minute, Suwon Samsung players began to be unable to keep up with Barcelona's passing. Ronaldinho got the ball on the left rib and made a breakthrough, accurately sending the ball to Sudong's feet.
Su Dong stopped the ball and knocked Park Jianha away with his shoulder. Without stopping, he spiked the ball with his right foot and avoided Croatian central defender Neretljak, and then volleyed directly with his left foot from the top of the penalty area.
Another kick from Barty GOL!
This is already Su Dong’s iconic shot!
The ball hit the net immediately. Although Li Yunzai judged the direction correctly, his speed was slow.
This Korean goalkeeper, who is famous for his reaction speed, ended up being half a beat too slow!
After Su Dong scored, he raised his right hand high and showed his index finger, as if to tell everyone that he had scored a goal!
…
Su Dong's goal broke the deadlock on the court, but it further aroused the anger of the fans at the scene.
South Korean fans began to call the home team frantically, and some even shouted that Barcelona could not be allowed to retreat under any circumstances and Sudong could not score again.
The fans were full of passion in the stands, but the Suwon Samsung players couldn't do it on the court.
The running distance in the first half hour has consumed too much of their physical energy. In addition, the Barcelona players themselves are superior in strength. When they began to be unable to keep up with Barcelona's passing and receiving speed and offensive rhythm, they were completely hindered.
Nose goes.
Just four minutes after Sudong scored, Barcelona planned another attack.
After receiving Su Dong's counterattack, Deco quickly passed the ball to Harvey, who passed the ball diagonally and moved to the right.
Giuly dribbled the ball along the right and broke into the right side of the penalty area before passing the ball to the goal.
Su Dong rushed over, pushed Park Jianha away with his body, and hit the ball in front of the goal, 2-0!
This time, Su Dong raised his right hand high again and showed two fingers.
Barcelona players also ran over one by one to high-five Su Dong to celebrate the goal, but there was not much excitement on their faces.
For them, it is not easy to compete against such an opponent.
At the end of the first half, Barcelona scored again.
This time, Ronaldinho received a direct pass from Deco. After passing his opponent on the left side of the penalty area, he passed the ball diagonally to the right. Giuly followed up and easily hit the ball, giving Barcelona another victory.
…
Entering the halftime break with a 3-0 lead, the Barcelona players were in a pretty good mood.
Su Dong took the initiative to find Rijkaard, hoping that he could continue to play in the second half.
"I think I can score again tonight!"
If I can score a hat trick tonight, it will definitely be a very happy thing.
Rijkaard complied with Su Dong's request, but told him to take it easy.
"You still have to save some face for your opponents!" Rijkaard reminded the players.
After the start of the second half, Barcelona replaced four players in one breath, but they still dominated Suwon Samsung.
At this moment, Cha Bum-gen, who was in front of the home team's coaching bench, lost the composure he had in the previous thirty minutes and began to become anxious. He kept calling the players on the sidelines, obviously very worried about the situation on the field.
The commentator on the live TV broadcast also changed his previous statement and instead hoped that the players could work hard to organize the defense and prevent Barcelona from scoring again, especially Su Dong, who had already scored two goals, and another goal would be a hat trick.
How do Koreans accept being scored a hat trick by a Chinese player?
After Deco came off the field, Xavi began to dominate Barcelona's organization and passing. He also began to show off his power, frequently feeding good balls to the frontcourt.
First, he assisted Ronaldinho to score, extending the score to 4-0, and then almost assisted Giuly to score twice. Unfortunately, the French winger's shot was always just a hair's breadth away.
Iniesta also performed well.
The young player's performance in the warm-up match was quite good, and in the 74th minute, he moved forward, received Ronaldinho's pass, got rid of the defensive player, and took the initiative to pursue Su Dong.
Cooperate.
Sudong used his body to hold Neretlyak at the top of the penalty area, knocked the ball back to Iniesta, turned around and sprinted forward quickly, and Iniesta also knowingly sent a direct pass.
ball.
The ball passed between Park Jianha and Neretlyak and landed on the left side of the penalty spot in the penalty area.
Su Dong quickly stepped in, stopped the ball and pushed the ball, all in one go!
The ball went into Suwon Samsung's goal again, 5-0!
After scoring the goal, Su Dong turned around excitedly and rushed out of the court, raising his right hand high and showing three fingers.
At this moment, the Suwon World Cup Stadium became silent!
He finally scored a hat trick!
…………
…………
The news that Su Dong scored a hat trick against Suwon Samsung not only caused a huge response in South Korea, but also aroused considerable attention in East Asia and even the world.
This was his first game after joining Barcelona. Although it was just a warm-up match and the opponent was not strong, he was able to score a hat trick, which in itself proves that Su Dong is in good condition.
Rijkaard said at the post-match press conference that this was not Su Dong's best state. He firmly believed that Su Dong could perform better and be even more outstanding in the new season!
The Korean media was in mourning, feeling ashamed that Barcelona slaughtered Suwon Samsung 6-1.
Iniesta, who came on as a substitute, scored a goal later, while Suwon Samsung scored at the last moment of the game.
But everyone could see that Barcelona was deliberately trying to give the home team a goal and save their own face.
If they had done it for real, they would have scored double-digit goals every minute.
Regarding Su Dong who scored a hat trick, the Korean media also changed their previous dissatisfaction and doubts and began to believe that Su Dong proved his ability as a world-class star with a hat trick.
Park Jianha also said in an interview with Korean media after the game that he had tried his best, but still couldn't defend Su Dong.
"He always plays in a way and at a pace that we don't expect, which makes it difficult for us to defend him effectively."
"I can only say that in terms of strength, there is a very obvious gap between us and him!"
"He showed us what a truly world-class player can be!"
South Korean hero Lee Yun-jae also said that he was impressed by Su Dong's performance.
"He deserves all the praise and recognition, and is also the most terrifying killer I have ever seen. His three goals have benefited me a lot!"
Perhaps because they watched the game or were influenced by the media, more and more Korean fans recognized Su Dong's performance.
When Barcelona was about to leave South Korea and go to Japan, hundreds of fans spontaneously went to the airport to see them off.
Many female fans reluctantly said goodbye to Su Dong with tears.
