On the evening of August 26, the Louis II Stadium in Monaco.
European Super Cup, Champions League champion Barcelona vs. UEFA Cup champion CSKA Moscow.
Only two minutes into the game, Su Dong almost blasted CSKA Moscow's goal with a sudden shot from 25 meters away, forcing the Russian team's "future No. 1 football manager" with amazing potential among FM football managers.
"One goalkeeper" Akinfefu made the save.
This shot also showed Barcelona's momentum.
Subsequently, the La Liga team launched a fierce offensive against CSKA Moscow.
In the tenth minute, after Harvey got the ball at the front of the penalty area, he sent a long pass directly to the left side of the frontcourt.
After Ronaldinho stopped the ball with his chest, he volleyed the ball behind the defense.
Like a bolt of lightning, Su Dong penetrated CSKA Moscow's defense, headed forward Ronaldinho's pass, chased after him, and without waiting for the attacking Akinfeev to reach his position, he directly volleyed and fired.
He broke through the Russian team's goal and opened the scoring for Barcelona, 1-0!
As a goal scorer, Barcelona is playing more and more steadily, and its advantage in passing and controlling the ball is becoming more and more obvious.
CSKA Moscow did not make its first attack until the 27th minute.
Note, this is the first attack!
In the 43rd minute of the first half, another direct pass from Xavi once again penetrated CSKA Moscow's defense.
Su Dong quickly moved forward to the right side of the penalty area, caught up with the ball, broke through the defensive player with the ball, and passed the ball to the back point.
The unguarded Ronaldinho followed up and easily scored with a header, giving Barcelona another victory.
Two to zero!
In the stoppage time, it was Xavi's long pass from the backcourt. The CSKA Moscow defender made an early clearance under the pressure of Sudong. As a result, he failed to grab the ball and actually went over the top.
Su Dong quickly reached behind and formed a single shot. After getting the ball, he feinted a shot near the penalty spot, deceiving the attacking goalkeeper Akinfefu, and easily succeeded in pushing the shot into the empty goal, rewriting the score to 3-0!
After scoring the goal, Su Dong ran excitedly and rushed to the sidelines to celebrate.
The surrounding teammates also rushed over to celebrate his goal.
"I discovered that games are really just games, and Akinfefu is not as awesome as he appears in the game!" Su Dong chuckled.
Many teammates who had played Football Manager around laughed.
Indeed.
The games are full of cold numbers, and the games deduced are all deduced based on the data. But in reality, the games are full of all kinds of unpredictability. What can the game simulate and deduce?
As for Akinfefu, let alone that.
With Abramovich's huge capital injection, and the reports that other Premier League teams have been acquired, the purchasing power of the entire European football world has become astonishing, and the demand for outstanding players is very high.
A fledgling kid like Rooney can fetch a sky-high price. You can imagine how scarce talent is already.
If Akinfeev was really capable, how could he only play football in Russia?
It has long been snatched away by major wealthy teams.
…
After changing sides in the second half, CSKA Moscow took advantage of the Barcelona goalkeeper's mistake in the closing stages of the game and scored a goal to save face.
Valdes attacked rashly, causing flaws in Barcelona's defense.
This goalkeeper is also a long-standing problem for Barcelona, so much so that in the just-concluded Champions League award selection, as the goalkeeper of the championship team, he did not even make it into the top three candidates, which shows that his performance is really bad.
Of course, Valdez cannot be entirely blamed for this.
Barcelona is a team that emphasizes offense over defense, so over the years, all Barcelona goalkeepers have failed. From Reina to Rustu to today's Valdes, without exception, they are all good players.
But on the contrary, after Reina went to Villarreal from Barcelona, he performed well and was bought by Liverpool this season.
So, many times, defense is really a system problem.

Bringing back the European Super Cup from Monaco, Barcelona once again received a warm welcome from the fans.
This is the third time in Barcelona's history that they have won the European Super Cup. The previous two were under Cruyff's dream team and in 1997 under Louis van Gaal.
Winning the Spanish Super Cup and the European Super Cup at the same time was only in 1992 when Cruyff was in the dream team.
This also made Barcelona fans extremely excited, shouting for the arrival of the Dream Team 2 dynasty!
The Catalan media also sang praises for Barcelona, believing that Rijkaard will continue to dominate La Liga in the new season.
But as a mortal enemy, Real Madrid is also not to be outdone.
After the introduction of strong players such as Baptista and Robinho, Real Madrid's overall strength has been greatly improved. Although they have left the aging Figo and the underperforming Owen, the team's locker room is more mature.
Unity.
When head coach Luxenberg announced the squad, he made it clear that Robinho would play in the game.
All parties are looking forward to and attach great importance to this genius from Brazil with the nickname New Pele. Rosenborg is also looking forward to Robinho's debut and said that he is the head coach who knows him best.
"This is very important for a young player of his age."
Luxenberg also revealed that Robinho will be the most eye-catching player on the football field in the world from now on. He can make a huge contribution to Real Madrid. "He will become the best player in the world, like Su
Dong, no, better than Su Dong!"
The Real Madrid head coach has made no secret of his optimism and expectations for Robinho, and firmly believes that he can train him to become the most perfect and greatest football player.
"He's going to be the best in the world!"
Media close to Real Madrid have also compared Robinho with Su Dong, because the Brazilian genius is even several months older than Su Dong. Everyone believes that his performance will not lose to Su Dong.
.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Aspen newspaper openly issued a provocation, believing that Real Madrid will overwhelm Barcelona in the first round of the league.
"Robinho will lead the team to victory!"
Catalonia retaliated, saying that Robinho wants to catch up with Sudong. "Please let him win a World Player of the Year and the Ballon d'Or first, or win a Champions League or even the UEFA Cup!"
The confrontation between the two major media has made the new season of La Liga extremely lively.
The opening game is Barcelona's away game against Alaves.
…………
…………
"Is Robinho really that strong?"
At the Mendizorosa Stadium, newly promoted team Alaves is holding a brief opening ceremony.
Barcelona players stood aside to witness, while Su Dong quietly asked Ronaldinho.
"He is indeed very talented, but...it's hard to say." Ronaldinho said ambiguously.
Obviously, there are some things he doesn't want to say.
Su Dong vaguely heard the clues and shook his head: "Now, just looking at the momentum created by the media, it feels like Robinho has become Real Madrid's hope and savior, and superstars such as Ronaldo, Raul and Zidane have to step aside.
"
At the end of the sentence, Su Dong couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Although the waves from behind in the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, why does it feel like the waves in front have been beaten to death on the beach even before the waves behind them push back?
"This has been like this in Brazil." Deco interjected from the side, "Look at the Santos twins back then. The other one, Diego, who is called the new Maradona, performed in Porto last season.
?”
Deco is from Porto and knows something about Diego.
It can't be too bad, but it's not so good that it can be compared with Maradona, so that now European media basically don't boast that Diego is the new Maradona.
But the media close to Real Madrid are still touting Robinho, thinking he is the new Pele, and even praising him too high.
If someone who doesn't know what is going on looks at it and sees the momentum created by the media at the moment, people who don't know must think that Robinho is coming to the Bernabeu with the aura of World Footballer and Ballon d'Or.
Doesn't this mean putting Robinho on the fire?
What do superstars such as Ronaldo, Zidane and Raul think?
Now that he is so highly praised, what if his performance is not as good as expected?
"After all, Real Madrid performed too badly last season," Xavi said with a smile.
As a sworn enemy, Real Madrid performed poorly, and Barcelona could not help but gloat a little bit.
"Don't they always compare Robinho with you?" Puyol also laughed and said, "Su, why don't you work harder tonight and get two or three balls for him and see how he compares.
"
"I remember, Su scored twice in his debut, right?" Iniesta also followed suit.
"Then let him score twice. If he achieves it, it would be better. If Robinho can't do it, then Real Madrid's morale will definitely be affected, and their game is one day later than us.
Just give them some motivation." Puyol laughed.
The so-called motivation is actually a kind of psychological pressure.
Although Puyol and Raul have a good relationship, in the club, the two of them are mortal enemies, and neither of them will hold back, and they will do everything possible to kill their opponent.
Who makes La Liga a match between Barcelona and Real Madrid?
After killing Real Madrid, wouldn’t the championship still belong to Barcelona?
"Look what you said, is it so easy to score a goal?" Su Dong was a little amused as they became more and more outrageous.
"It may be difficult for others, but you..." Iniesta chuckled.
Everyone was quite surprised.
I have to say that their impression of Su Dong is indeed completely different from others.
On the football field, scoring goals is never easy, but for some reason, they always feel that it is particularly easy for Su Dong to score goals.
In Valencia, he scored 35 goals in a single season, almost one goal per game. What a terrible scoring efficiency. But in Barcelona, in the first season, Su Dong scored as many as 30 goals.
Seven goals is basically one goal per game.
It can be said that Su Dong's scoring efficiency is already quite amazing.
Because of this, it gives the teammates around him the feeling that Su Dong is definitely a man with his own scoring music!
"Su, we believe in you, it's okay!" Puyol patted Su Dong's shoulder heavily and said while holding back his laughter.
