In the nineteenth round of La Liga, Barcelona faced Real Sociedad at home.
Deco accumulated yellow cards and was suspended, and Iniesta took his place, partnering Xavi and Marcos Senna in the midfield.
After his outstanding performance in the previous round, the Brazilian midfielder played again in this round.
Ronaldinho, Su Dong and Giuly formed the front trident.
Only three minutes into the game, Iniesta made a breakthrough on the left, broke into the penalty area and passed to the center. Sudong followed up and fired a hearty volley.
This shot was powerful and heavy, and very beautiful, but unfortunately, it hit the crossbar hard and bounced out of the penalty area.
Subsequently, Barcelona formed a siege on Real Sociedad, while the away team was based on defense.
Barcelona was unable to attack for a long time and was unable to break through the opponent's goal.
After changing sides in the second half, it was Su Dong again. After receiving Xavi's pass, he got the ball from the right rib and forced a breakthrough, entering the right side of Real Sociedad's penalty area. Facing the defense of central defender Luis Alberto, Su Dong
Dong cleverly changed the angle and pushed with his right foot.
The ball passed the central defender's block and avoided the goalkeeper's hands, but finally hit the outside of the near post, and once again followed up the goal to score. This made Sudong and Camp Nou feel it all.
Very sorry.
Even the on-site commentator at Camp Nou said with regret: "Su Dong performed very hard tonight and recovered well, but he just lacked a little luck in scoring goals."
But the on-site commentator also believed that Su Dong's performance was good enough and believed that he would gradually get better.
On the contrary, another player, Ronaldinho, has failed in the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer selections since December. Especially during the winter break, he traveled long distances to fly back to Brazil, which seriously affected him.
The state has not been recovered so far, and the performance has been sluggish in two consecutive rounds.
…
Barcelona keep up the pressure on Real Sociedad.
Rijkaard took down Oleg in this game and asked Marcos and Puyol to partner as central defenders. Van Bronckhorst and Belletti formed the two wings. Both wings were also actively looking for opportunities.
Finally, in the 81st minute, Belletti's breakthrough from the right led to a corner kick. Xavi took the corner kick. Marcos nodded the ball forward and rubbed the ball into the center.
Su Dong jumped high in the crowd, relying on his burly body of 1.95 meters, he just rushed away from all the defensive players and grabbed the first point. He hit the header from close range and scored the winning goal for Barcelona.
.
One to zero!
This score was maintained until the end!
…
Barcelona's offense is weak and Ronaldinho continues to be sluggish, which once again triggered speculation from the outside world.
British media The Sun revealed that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and CEO Kenyon are very fond of Ronaldinho and hope to introduce the Barcelona superstar to Stamford Bridge.
But that's not the point. The point is, The Sun said Ronaldinho also intends to leave Barcelona.
"As the first brother of the team last season, Ronaldinho completely fell out of favor this season. Sudong replaced him and became the favorite of the team. At the same time, he also gained the support of Chairman Laporta and Godfather Cruyff.
Full support."
"Looking at Ronaldinho, Russell, who supports him, has lost the power struggle in the management."
The Sun also revealed a secret, that is, one of the important factors why Rijkaard's contract extension has not been fulfilled is that he had to see Russell leave the team with his own eyes before Black Swan would make any decision on the contract extension.
signature.
British media revealed that Ronaldinho was disturbed by Russell's loss of power and dissatisfied with Sudong's rise. Therefore, the Brazilian superstar is looking for the possibility of leaving Barcelona and switching to other teams.
"Chelsea is undoubtedly a good choice!"
The Sun even revealed that Abramovich is willing to pay a transfer fee of 60 million pounds for Ronaldinho, which will make him surpass Su Dong and become the superstar with the highest transfer fee in history.
For a time, the outside world speculated and spread the news.
Although Barcelona quickly came forward to clarify, Vice President Rosell never expressed his position, which undoubtedly added to the doubts of the outside world.

On the evening of January 22, Camp Nou.
In the twentieth round of La Liga, Barcelona faced Racing Santander at home.
Only eight minutes into the game, Xavi sent a scalpel-like through ball. Su Dong succeeded in countering offside and penetrated the opponent's defense like lightning. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Awat in the penalty area, he kicked the ball through the crotch.
, sending the ball into the goal behind him.
One to zero!
In the 42nd minute, there was another direct pass from Xavi. Giuly kicked the ball from the right side of the penalty area. After being saved by goalkeeper Avart, Marcos Senna stepped in from the outside of the penalty area to stop the ball.
Directly shot a long shot and broke Racing Santander's goal.
Two to zero!
After the goal, the Brazilian midfielder almost went crazy.
He rushed directly to the sidelines, dancing, shouting and roaring, venting his inner excitement.
Anyone can see that he has been suppressed for long enough.
After changing sides in the second half, Barcelona continued to maintain pressure on Racing Santander.
In the 74th minute, after Ronaldinho made a horizontal breakthrough from the left, he curved the ball with his right foot into the far corner and broke into the opponent's goal again, further expanding Barcelona's score.
Three minutes later, Deco's long-range shot from 25 meters away bounced off the opponent's central defender Moraton and was reflected into Racing Santander's goal.
Four to zero!
With these four goals, Barcelona defeated Racing Santander 4-0 at home.
…
After the game, Ronaldinho, who had recovered from the game, publicly stated that he had no intention of leaving Barcelona.
The Brazilian superstar said that whether he leaves the team or not has nothing to do with Russell.
He once again reiterated that he is a Barcelona player, not a player of Rosell. He hopes to continue playing for Barcelona, and even, if possible, he hopes to play until he retires.
Not only that, the Brazilian superstar also mentioned his relationship with Su Dong.
"Indeed, Su Dong's arrival makes me feel that I am no longer as valued as before, but I don't think this is a bad thing, because his arrival has greatly relieved the pressure on me and he allows me to enjoy football more.
"
"To be honest, Su Dong is a very good teammate. With him in front, I can play more calmly and have more space. I think this is a good thing. No one can refuse a teammate like Su Dong."
As for competition, Ronaldinho said that competition is everywhere.
Even if you really leave Barcelona and go to another team, won't there be competition?
…
Ronaldinho's clarification did not alleviate the suspicion of the outside world.
After Barcelona's bloodbath at Racing Santander, Vice Chairman Rosell finally ended his silence and came forward for the first time to say that he did have conflicts with Laporta, but he promised to do his best to solve the problem.
But he also implicitly hinted that Laporta's side lacks sincerity in reconciliation.
This has further escalated the internal strife among Barcelona's top brass.
…………
…………
A week later, in the 21st round of La Liga, Barcelona challenged Sevilla away from home.
Obviously, the internal strife in the management has not affected Barcelona's performance on the court.
Throughout the first half, Barcelona never found its rhythm and was restrained by Sevilla.
But just at the beginning of the second half, Ronaldinho sent a clever direct pass from the left. Sudong broke through with the ball from the left rib, passed the attacking goalkeeper Esteban, and calmly pushed the shot into the empty net, opening the scoring for Barcelona.
One to zero.
After the goal, the two Barcelona stars hugged and celebrated on the sidelines.
The remarks about the conflict between the two are self-defeating.
Subsequently, Baptista scored an own goal to expand Barcelona's score.
In the 58th minute, Su Dong received Xavi's pass and crossed in front of the baseline on the right side of the penalty area. Ronaldinho followed up and hit the target, giving Barcelona another victory.
The two superstars hugged on the sidelines again to celebrate Ronaldinho's goal.
In the 73rd minute, Xavi sent a wonderful pass, and Giuly broke into the right rib of the penalty area, sealing the score for Barcelona.
4-0, Barcelona beat Sevilla away from home!
…………

On the evening of February 6th, in the 22nd round of La Liga, Barcelona faced Atletico Madrid at home.
This is undoubtedly the highlight of this round of La Liga.
Both teams used their best players, and the two sides played inextricably at the Nou Camp.
Atletico Madrid set up a five-midfield configuration, defended strictly, and tried to contain Barcelona's offense through running and pressing without hesitation, leaving Torres in front to fight back.
Barcelona, on the other hand, relied on their advantage in possession of the ball to play steadily and remain patient.
After the two sides fought hard for forty-five minutes, they still made no adjustments in the second half.
Until the 57th minute, Deco stepped in to receive Ronaldinho's cross and sent a through ball at the front of the penalty area. Su Dong quickly stepped in and received the ball on the right side of the small penalty area.
Behind the ball, he hit the goal from a small angle.
The ball passed through the side of goalkeeper Franco, rubbed the right post, and went into the goal behind him.
One to zero!
Subsequently, Atletico Madrid tried to counterattack, but Barcelona quickly organized an attack and suppressed Atletico Madrid.
In the 70th minute, Su Dong dribbled the ball into the penalty area again, but was pushed down by Perea for a foul from behind. The referee awarded a penalty kick.
Su Dong gave up the penalty kick opportunity to Ronaldinho.
It's a pity that when the Brazilian took the penalty kick, he shot the ball away.
It has to be said that Ronaldinho's condition has been ups and downs since December, which is indeed worrying.
In the end, Barcelona defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0 at home with Su Dong's goal.
After two big scores, Barcelona's offense fell back again in this round, but this is also a normal phenomenon.
What is really surprising is that since Marcos Senna joined, Barcelona has unknowingly conceded zero goals in five games. This defensive level has surprised everyone.
Marcos Senna also relied on his outstanding performance in five consecutive games to firmly occupy the deep position in the midfield and became a strong player in Barcelona's midfield defense. He was unanimously recognized by the media and fans.
Su Dong, who has the ability to recognize people, has once again enhanced his status and influence in the locker room.
…
While Marcos Senna was recognized in Barcelona, Sudong's little fan Messi caused an earthquake in Colombia.
