After winning the honor of World Footballer from Zurich, Sudong showed off his talents to the 100,000 Barcelona fans before the 17th round of La Liga at Camp Nou the next day, before Barcelona faced Levante at home.
Two gold medals.
In the subsequent games, Su Dong was very active. Shortly after the start, he created two excellent opportunities for Ronaldinho, but unfortunately, the Brazilian failed to seize the opportunity.
In the 28th minute, Deco took advantage of a free kick and created an own goal for the opponent.
After that, the two sides reached a stalemate. Levante even took advantage of Barcelona's defense mistakes at the beginning of the second half to score a sneak goal and equalize the score.
It was not until the 80th minute of the second half that Su Dong once again provided a wonderful assist, and Messi, who came on the bench, hit a left-footed shot.
In the end, Barcelona defeated visiting Levante 2-1 and took all three points.
After seventeen rounds of competition, Barcelona is in a clear lead and is far ahead.
Teams such as Valencia, Real Madrid and Sevilla followed closely behind.
Everyone can see that this season's La Liga championship basically belongs to Barcelona.
…
When La Liga finished its seventeenth round and ended all games before the winter break, UEFA's draw results for the Champions League knockout rounds of the top 16 were also freshly released.
Barcelona, which qualified first in the group, also had decent luck and was drawn against Bayern Munich.
This isn't really a good pick, but it's not bad either.
Among the eight second-placed teams in the group, they avoided Real Madrid of the same country and Juventus in the same group. Among the remaining six teams, the weakest is PSV and the strongest is Manchester United.
But both teams missed out on Barcelona perfectly.
Su Dong was also slightly disappointed by this. He really wanted to have a fight with Cristiano Ronaldo.
When this guy called Su Dong recently, he repeatedly threatened that he wanted to face Barcelona in the Champions League knockout round, but it was a pity that God did not give him a chance.
…
La Liga has been suspended, the Champions League top 16 draw has been completed, and the two grand finale awards have been announced one after another. The major football events in 2004 have also come to an end.
The day after the seventeenth round of La Liga, Barcelona held a Christmas dinner.
Club president Laporta attended the party with several vice-presidents and the club's senior management. At the same time, he also summarized the team's past half-season. There is only one answer, and that is perfection!
Whether it's La Liga or the Champions League, Barcelona's performance is perfect.
In terms of personal honors, Su Dong won the title of Mr. Double, which also won full applause for Barcelona.
Laporta said that the board of directors has urged the financial department to conduct research and will come up with more powerful incentive measures after the winter break. He hopes that all players can continue to work hard in the second half and that the team can win in La Liga and the Champions League.
Performance continues on both fronts.
Su Dong sat among the players and nodded his head.
There is not much suspense in La Liga anymore, and winning the Champions League again is his biggest wish this season.
In the Football King's Road system, if you want to upgrade from Football Player to Football Player Three, you need two Champions Leagues.
When he was in Valencia last season, Su Dong already won a Champions League. If he wins another one this season, he can raise his system level to Ball 3, which is the level of a top player.
This will definitely be another radical improvement for Su Dong.
After getting Mr. Double this time, the system rewarded him with two star ability cards, which can be redeemed at any time, but he doesn't want to exchange them for anything yet, so he can only leave them alone for now.
At his level of strength, surrounded by teammates who are all outstanding stars, what he needs to consider most is his own long-term development and planning, and he does not need to think too much about the whole team.
This is the advantage of a world-class superstar!
To bite off more than you can chew, good steel still needs to be put to good use on the blade.
…
"Sue, what are the activities during the Christmas holiday?"
Iniesta, who was sitting next to Su Dong, asked Su Dong with interest.
This season's rookie has begun to gain a foothold in Barcelona. In many games, Rijkaard even used Iniesta to replace Giuly as the right winger in the frontcourt. It is not difficult to see that Rijkaard
Pay attention to him.
Of course, Iniesta's performance was also very impressive and he lived up to the trust placed in him by the coaching staff.
But Iniesta knew very well that Su Dong's support was the key.
"I haven't thought about it yet. David Silva invited me to spend the winter in the Canary Islands. I'm thinking about whether to go." Su Dong replied with a smile.
This year's winter break is a bit long, from December 21st to January 9th, 2005, so the team gave a full week of Christmas vacation so that the players can have a good rest.
Although it was a week's holiday, in fact, Su Dong's schedule was very tight. For example, he was going to Germany to shoot an advertisement for BMW. This was a New Year's advertisement specially prepared for the Chinese Spring Festival.
"The Canary Islands is a great place, take me with you when you go." Iniesta smiled eagerly.
Su Dong nodded, and with several friends together, it became more lively.
That's how he is. He doesn't mind having many familiar friends, but he doesn't like strangers very much.
"By the way, Su, there's something they want to ask me about." Iniesta suddenly came closer and whispered.
Su Dong secretly looked at the distance. At another table, Puyol and others looked at them secretly from time to time, seemingly unintentionally. It was obvious that what Iniesta wanted to ask was what they were concerned about.
"Just ask." Su Dong smiled and nodded.
A gentleman is magnanimous, what can a villain hide? Anyway, Su Dong is not afraid of people asking questions when he does things.
"Your agent recommended a Brazilian player to the club. Do you know about this?" Iniesta looked at Su Dong with a worried look. He was really afraid that he might accidentally offend Su Dong with his question.
Not so good.
But there is no way, Puyol, Xavi and others want to know, so Iniesta has to come over and ask, who is the closest to him and Su Dong?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I know." Su Dong smiled happily.
"Then...why?" Iniesta was a little surprised.
There are already enough Brazilian players in the team. Even Cruyff was criticizing the phenomenon of too many Brazilian players. Why did Su Dong still introduce Brazilian players to the team?
"I didn't consider anything else, mainly because we really need to sign in the midfield position. We have considered many people before, such as Juventus's Tacchinati, but as you know, we have no money at all.
, you can’t even buy it in Maniche.”
Juventus's Tacchinati and Porto's Maniche have all been linked to Barcelona. As a result, these players failed to come to Camp Nou. Barcelona's plan to strengthen the midfielder position has never been realized.
.
"The player I recommend is Marcos Senna. He plays for Villarreal. I already knew him when I was in Valencia. He is very strong and has excellent defensive ability. At the same time, he also has the skills of a Brazilian.
His passing ability is very much in line with our team's requirements, and more importantly, his price is not high."
"As early as the end of August this year, Senna represented Villarreal in the Toto Cup. After the match against Atletico Madrid, he tested positive for corticosteroids and was suspended for two months in October. He only recently returned.
Bassett came on as a substitute and played more than 20 minutes in the game."
"I have understood that the reason why he was suspended for two months is because he mistakenly took steroids. In terms of strength, I think he is very good, so I asked my agent to recommend him and let the club investigate and
Understand, that’s all.”
Iniesta understood what Su Dong meant.
Su Dong hoped that he would convey a signal to Puyol and other local factions, that is, Su Dong only dealt with matters, not people.
The reason why he asked his agent to recommend Marcos Senna was really just based on the team's actual needs, because the Brazilian midfielder is very cheap, and it can be finalized for only one or two million euros at most, maybe using youth team players.
No problem replacing it.
Moreover, Barcelona has a very good relationship with Villarreal. Riquelme is still on loan at Villarreal, and youth training player Reina is also at Villarreal and wants to introduce Marcos Senna.
I guess you don't even have to pay any money, it can be done directly.
The most important thing is that Su Dong played with Marcos Senna. He felt that this Brazilian midfielder was not tall, but his defense was really good, he was tenacious and diligent, and his running ability was very strong.
Fits Barcelona's current needs.
how to say?
He's like a late version of Davis!
Su Dong can understand the concerns of Puyol and others.
There are really many Brazilian players in the Barcelona team now, but firstly, Marcos Senna is playing in La Liga. Although he was suspended for two months and missed two months, there is no integration problem. Secondly, he is not a Brazilian international and does not need to return to his country.
.
Nowadays, Barcelona's management conflict problem is really troublesome.
During the winter break, they wanted to bring in a defensive midfielder, but Laporta objected to the players Russell wanted, and Russell opposed the players Laporta wanted. Both sides were boycotting the other.
Su Dong felt that Marcos Senna might be a mutually acceptable choice.
The most important thing is that it is really cheap.
…
When Iniesta conveyed Sudong's intention to Puyol and others, the Barcelona captain breathed a sigh of relief.
It's not that he minded Su Dong recommending players. After all, Su Dong's status was there. If he wanted to recommend players, who would dare to say anything?
Besides, the club will not do anything just because it was recommended by Su Dong.
What Puyol and others are really worried about is that Su Dong will fall to the Brazilian gang, which will cause the locker room to lose balance.
Nowadays, Su Dong's influence is really great.
Fortunately, Su Dong clarified the misunderstanding and also expressed his attitude.
He remains neutral and will not get involved in any power struggles. What he does is always right for the situation but not for the person. This will undoubtedly allow the locker room to continue to maintain balance.
As for Marcos Senna, he is actually not important because he is just a nobody.
This is why, when many people mention this signing, the first thing they mention is Su Dong.
Sometimes I think about it, Puyol himself is quite helpless.
Although he is the captain of the team, how easy is it to maintain the stability of the locker room of a wealthy team like Barcelona?
