Club World Cup semi-finals, Yokohama International Stadium.
Champions League champion Barcelona faces Concacaf champions Saprisa of Costa Rica.
FIFA was not very concerned about this semi-final at first. After all, this Central and North American team does not have much appeal in the world of football, so it would be difficult to attract fans.
According to estimates before the game, 40,000 people could walk into the stadium, which would be extremely high.
What I didn't expect was that the ticket sales were quite booming, especially as the game approached, it became even more difficult to get a ticket.
Finally, on the day of the game, the Yokohama International Stadium, which can accommodate more than 72,000 people, was packed with seats.
The full attendance shocked everyone, even the Japanese media themselves.
Judging from the reaction of the fans at the scene, Su Dong is undoubtedly the key factor in attracting them to the stadium.
Japanese fans really want to see how strong this Chinese guy who has won the Double Player of the Year award for two consecutive years is really. Is he really as powerful as the rumors say?
…
It's not just Japanese fans who want to try Su Dongjin, there are also players from Costa Rica.
International center back Jarvis Trumond is a veteran of the Costa Rica national team. He was on the team that defeated the Chinese team in the World Cup in Korea and Japan.
In recent years, Costa Rica has played three more games with the Chinese team, with one win, one draw and one loss. Durumond missed the next two games, but in the previous game against the Chinese team, he played the entire game.
In his impression, the strength of Chinese players is not that great.
A player who couldn't even make it to the national team could achieve such amazing success in European football?
Is it true or false?
Did Barcelona and FIFA take a fancy to the Chinese market, so they adopted this method to support a Chinese player?
I have to say, conspiracy theories are really harmful.
However, it is very attractive.
Especially when Drummond himself has a relatively poor stereotype of Chinese players.
So tonight, he wanted to try Su Dong's strength.
If it was true, that would be fine. If it was really a lie, he wouldn't mind being the kid who revealed the emperor's new clothes tonight, letting the whole world know such a big lie.
It was precisely because of this thought in his mind that Drummond made a very low-level, even very stupid mistake at the beginning of the game.
…
After Barcelona kicked off, they controlled the ball continuously for nearly three minutes before Costa Rica had a chance to steal the ball.
When it was quickly passed to the back line, Durumond wanted to stabilize the rhythm and controlled the ball at his feet.
But just when he was trying to control the ball, Su Dong suddenly rushed over at extremely fast speed.
The burly giant, who was 1.95 meters tall, rushed forward at an extremely fast speed. The pressure and momentum made Dulumond stunned for a moment, and his whole body even started to tremble involuntarily.
Su Dong saw the right opportunity and quickly cut between him and the ball, using his strong body to directly squeeze the Costa Rican central defender away.
Drummond, who was used to being domineering in Central and North America, would not believe that he was suddenly pushed away by his opponent.
In fact, it gave him the feeling that Su Dong did it effortlessly.
He even stepped back involuntarily.
When he reacted, he was stunned.
The central defender lost the ball!
Damn it!
But at this time, after Su Dong successfully intercepted the ball, he dribbled the ball straight into the penalty area, calmly scored with a single shot, and opened the scoring for Barcelona, 1-0!
The entire stadium was filled with cheers from Japanese fans.
They shouted Su Dong's name in broken Chinese to show their appreciation for Su Dong.
As Su Dong walked back, waving to his teammates in celebration from a distance, he looked at the Costa Rican central defender with some surprise. His mind was full of doubts, why is this kid so stupid?
"What's wrong?" Messi ran over to celebrate his goal with him, noticed Su Dong's gaze, and asked strangely.
"Nothing, I just think No. 5 is playing match-fixing?" Su Dong asked with a smile.
He swore that he never bribed his opponents.
Messi also smiled slightly, "Maybe he was shocked when he suddenly saw you. He probably thought you were too ugly."
Su Dong flew up and almost hit Messi.
The Argentinian boy jumped away quickly.
The reason Su Dong was confused was because he felt that the No. 5 had enough time to react, but he wanted to control the ball more. Isn't this stupid?
How tall is he?
He is a full head shorter than Su Dong, and his body is not very strong. Do you really think that you are made of iron and can fight to the death with Su Dong?
"Who gave him the courage to challenge me physically? Neither of them is enough for me!" Su Dong shook his head and smiled bitterly.
If the opponent is too weak, there is no sense of achievement in bullying him.
…
In fact, Barcelona did not try their best.
On the one hand, the team traveled a long distance and suffered from jet lag, and on the other hand, the opponent was too weak.
So much so that Barcelona was able to control the game even though they were playing leisurely.
In the 32nd minute, Van Bronckhorst quickly stepped in from the left, got the ball and sent a cross, directly hoisting the ball into the penalty area.
Su Dong jumped up high, crossed the ball with his header, and knocked the ball down.
Ronaldinho quickly stepped in, and before the ball hit the ground, he volleyed directly into the air, creating a wonderful world wave, and sent the ball into the Costa Rica goal again, two to zero!
After changing sides in the second half, Van Bronckhorst stepped in from the left again. After receiving Deco's pass, he passed the ball directly to the top of the penalty area. Su Dong made a stop and passed the unlucky ball.
Durumond hit a curve ball with his left foot.
The ball hit the Costa Rica goal again, three to zero!
This score remained until the end of the game, and Barcelona eliminated Saprisa 3-0 in the semifinals.

…………
Club World Cup final, Yokohama International Stadium, Barcelona versus Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Su Dong finally met the legendary goalkeeper Seni who was famous for his free kicks in the King of Football system.
Before the game, he even made a special excuse to chat with Saini for a few words, making him look familiar and a bit like a star chaser.
After all, this is a very highly rated goalkeeper in the Football King's Road system.
But in the game, Sudong broke through the goal guarded by Saini in just two minutes.
Belletti threw a throw-in from the right. After Messi got rid of the defender, he passed the ball into the penalty area with his left foot. Sudong hit the goal with a header from close range, opening the scoring for Barcelona.
But then, Seni also showed his ability as an excellent goalkeeper, blocking high and low, repeatedly defusing Barcelona's attacks.
Cicinho, the right back who is about to join Real Madrid during the winter break, played very passionately when he met Barcelona. In the 27th minute, he passed the ball from the right to teammate Aloisio. The latter stopped the ball in his chest and turned around.
Pass restricted area.
The ball crossed Barcelona's defense and landed in the penalty area. Midfielder Mineiro stepped in, stopped the ball, and shot past Barcelona's goal to equalize the score.
This score remained until the end of the first half.
After the second half, Sao Paulo continued to rely on Seni's outstanding performance and just failed to score another goal from Barcelona.
Until the 61st minute, Ronaldinho dribbled the ball from the left and cut inside, passing the ball diagonally into the penalty area with his right foot. Sudong shook off the defender, then inserted in front of the goal and shot, breaking the Sao Paulo goal again, and the score was two.
one!
After that, St. Paul did not dare to give it a try, and the situation remained in a stalemate.
Seni played very well, saving at least six excellent scoring opportunities for Barcelona.
In the 88th minute, Sudong headed the ball in the penalty area, Messi sent a cross from the right, Ronaldinho followed up and scored in one stroke, giving Barcelona another victory, three to one!
In the end, with Su Dong scoring twice, Barcelona defeated Sao Paulo 3-1 and won the Club World Cup.
…
With his two goals in the final, Su Dong not only won the top scorer of the Club World Cup, but also won the best player.
Like previous Toyota Cups, the best player in the Club World Cup finals can drive away a Toyota car.
The car arranged by Toyota this year is a hybrid version of the Prius. The price of this car in Europe is about more than 30,000 euros, and the top-end version will be relatively more expensive.
Su Dong actually doesn't have much interest in Toyota cars, because his own sponsor is BMW, but who made Toyota the sponsor of the Club World Cup? Su Dong could only reluctantly cooperate with the official activities, received the Toyota car keys, and cooperated
Toyota conducts publicity.
The competition is played in Japan, but the prizes will be sent directly by Toyota to Barcelona, Spain, and handed over to Su Dong.
Su Dong didn't care. After receiving the prize, he stuffed it directly into Messi's hands.
"Congratulations, you have your first car in your life." Su Dong said with a smile.
Messi was very surprised and was about to refuse, but was stopped by Su Dong.
"Don't say anything, I really can't sit down." Su Dong casually found a reason.
He didn't have a driver's license himself, so he hired a driver. It was useless to have an extra car, so he might as well give it to Messi.
Messi is not tall, but he fits this Prius very well.
Su Dong, on the other hand, is 1.95 meters tall and cannot fit into this car no matter how he looks.
Of course, Messi knew about Su Dong's kindness. After thinking about it, he didn't refuse.
He really wanted to have a car of his own, but he didn't expect that Su Dong would give him one.
Before that, Su Dong lent money to him and Iniesta to buy a house.
Speaking of which, Su Dong is really very loyal.
…
After winning the Club World Cup, Barcelona wasn't too excited, but after all, they were world champions, so they naturally had to celebrate, and with the fans at the scene, the scene was quite lively.
After receiving the Club World Cup championship trophy and Su Dong's two personal awards, Barcelona also began to leave the stadium.
After the game, the team will return to Barcelona overnight, but many players will not return with the team.
Soviet Union will fly directly from Japan to China.
It was a rare trip back, so he naturally wanted to go home and have a look.
Messi and Iniesta both decided to accompany Sudong back to China. They also wanted to visit China.
As for going home for Christmas, in fact, for young people like them, it’s really not a big deal.
In addition, Su Dong still has to wait in Asia for news about Wang Chuqing, Mendes and Ma Dawei.
