After defeating Real Madrid, Barcelona returned to La Liga without stopping and challenged Valencia away.
This time, Sudong failed to make his debut at the Mestania Stadium, but the fans of the Bat Legion will not be disappointed, but should be happy, because without Sudong, Barcelona has an amazing ball possession rate, but it has never been
Can score goals.
In the end, Barcelona lost to Valencia 0-1 away from home.
After a wave of overwhelming victories, especially after the bloodbath of Real Madrid, Barcelona will not be blamed for a defeat in La Liga. After all, Sudong and Deco took a rotation, and Ronaldinho was additionally suspended due to the original red card.
At that time, it was reasonable for Barcelona to lose away from home.
Besides, Barcelona has a clear lead in La Liga, not less than these three points.
…………
…………
After losing to Valencia, Barcelona adopted a defensive posture as a guest at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
Rijkaard still did not use all his main players, Su Dong, Deco and Ronaldinho continued to hide.
To a certain extent, this can be explained by the fact that Barcelona has already regarded advancing to the Copa del Rey final as a piece of cake.
In the end, Barcelona lost to Real Madrid 1-3 on the road, but still advanced with the total score.
Another opponent in the Copa del Rey final will be between Espanyol and Deportivo La Coruna.
In the first leg of the match between the two teams, Espanyol defeated Deportivo La Coruña 2-1 at home. If Super Deportivo fails to reverse the situation in the second round, the Copa del Rey final will feature a city derby with Barcelona.
…………
…………
After two consecutive defeats, public opinion still did not question Barcelona.
Everyone can see that Barcelona is preparing for the Champions League knockout round of 16.
The opponent is Lyon from Ligue 1, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
But in the 24th round of La Liga, Barcelona faced Real Betis at home, and Rijkaard sent out all his main players.
Players such as Su Dong and Deco are all resting, and Ronaldinho has also returned from suspension, which makes Barcelona's personnel tidy.
In the 17th minute, Ronaldinho dribbled the ball from the left and cut inside, passing diagonally to the right side of the penalty area. Messi got the ball and passed it across to the goal. Su Dong from the center rushed over and easily pushed the ball into the goal.
Barcelona opened the scoring, 1-0!
Six minutes later, Ronaldinho got the ball from the left and forced a breakthrough. He dribbled the ball into the left side of the penalty area and passed to the goal. Su Dong jumped high and made a neat header to the goal.
Barcelona scored another victory, 2-0!
In the 29th minute, Ronaldinho passed a direct pass from the left. Su Dong stepped in, and the opponent's central defender Melly chased him all the way. He took the lead and tried to shovel the ball out of the baseline, but the result was unsuccessful.
Carefully shovel the ball into your own goal, own goal, three to zero!
What's even more unexpected is that just five minutes later, Ronaldinho's direct free kick hit Melli's push again and hit his own goal again, making it 4-0.
!
Melly almost cried!
I haven't scored a goal so far this season, but I accidentally scored two goals, and they were both own goals!
What's going on?
Su Dong walked over with both humor and sympathy, patted Meili on the shoulder and gave him some comfort.
This unlucky kid has worked hard enough.
But sometimes that's the case, the harder you work, the more likely you are to make mistakes.
Real Betis lost confidence due to two own goals. Before the end of the first half, Barcelona seized another opportunity. Deco moved forward to the right and sent a cross.
Su Dong ran out of the gap, stopped the ball with his chest in the unguarded area at the back point, and pushed the ball with his right foot to score, 5-0!
hat trick!
…
After changing sides in the second half, Su Dong was replaced by Larsson.
Subsequently, Ronaldinho scored with a direct free kick, expanding the score to 6-0!
Real Betis then pulled a goal back, but Messi once again used the ball to pass three people, broke into the penalty area and kicked the goal. The ball hit the inside of the post and bounced into the net, seven to one!
In the end, Barcelona defeated Real Betis 7-1 at home with Sudong's hat trick and the outstanding performance of the stars, winning a hearty victory.
…
After the game, Barcelona's wild victory amazed all the media, and Su Dong's hat trick made him appear in the limelight again, because with these three goals, Su Dong has surpassed Pussy.
Cash has become the player with the most goals in a single season in La Liga history.
Now, the only thing facing Su Dong is La Liga's single-season scoring record.
The record of thirty-eight goals in a single league season set by Sala and Sanchez back then is already within reach for Sudong, who has already scored thirty-four goals.
There are still fourteen rounds of the league, and everyone believes that it is only a matter of time before Su Dong breaks the record.
The real suspense is, how high can Su Dong raise the new record?

…………
February 22, Stade Gerland, Lyon, France.
Amid the roar of more than 40,000 fans in the stadium, and under the whistle of Austrian referee Plautz, the first leg of the Champions League knockout round of 16 officially started.
Barcelona did not surprise the outside world, nor did they disappoint the fans waiting in front of the TV. They used their main lineup, with Ronaldinho, Sudong and Messi forming the frontcourt trident. From the beginning, it looked like
An angry lion launched a fierce attack on the Lyon team.
Lyon head coach Houllier made a steady start, trying to hold on to his position and try not to lose the goal.
This should also be the thinking of most teams competing in the Champions League knockout rounds at home.
But in the second minute of the opening, Lyon got a free kick opportunity in the frontcourt.
Su Dong immediately took the initiative to run and act as a human wall, letting Messi and Ronaldinho stand in front.
This surprised everyone at Barcelona.
"I'm studying Juninho's free kick!" Su Dong said seriously.
Juninho didn't know what was happening on Barcelona's side, but he still took a very high-level free kick, which took a beautiful arc, went around the top of the wall, and fell straight into the goal.
But perhaps because Su Dong was too tall, Juninho's kick was still a little too high.
The angle is very tricky, but it touches the line above the beam.
Su Dong didn't even look back, but he felt Juninho's free kick head-on, which was very exciting.
…
Juninho's free kick was just a tidbit at the beginning of the game. The real game was always controlled by Barcelona. Only seven minutes into the game, Iniesta sent a precise kick from the right.
Through ball.
Sudong got rid of Kasapa and Abidal, quickly passed between the two Lyon defenders, successfully countered offside, and after catching up with the ball on the right side of the penalty area, before Kupe could react, he volleyed with his right foot.
.
The ball crashed into Lyon's goal, one to zero!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Only seven minutes into the game, Su Dong's first shot penetrated Lyon's goal!"
"His shot is as powerful and beautiful as ever, his footwork is in place and he hits it very hard. Although Kupe reacted, he was still a little slow."
"This is Su Dong. Many people said back then that he looked like Batistuta, but now, he looks more like himself!"
“It’s been a long time since I’ve heard anyone mention the nickname Little God of War!”
…
really.
I don’t know since when, Su Dong rarely hears people call him the Little God of War anymore.
Just like not long ago, when Cristiano Ronaldo called Su Dong, he happily told him that many British media no longer call him Ronaldinho, but call him Ronaldo.
He was very happy. With this nickname, he could have fun all night.
Although it is just a change of nickname, it is clear that the media and fans are beginning to accept him and begin to recognize him.
To put it simply, Cristiano Ronaldo deserves the surname "Ronaldo".
This is not unique to Su Dong and Ronnie.
In the early years, Ronaldinho was also called Ronaldo Jr., but now, who still calls him Ronaldo Jr.?
…
Barcelona's recent form has been very good. From the very beginning, they turned against the visitors and launched an offensive.
In the 13th minute, Van Bronckhorst's cooperation with Ronaldinho and Deco on the left opened up Lyon's defense. The Dutch left back quickly went down and passed the low ball into the penalty area.
.
Ronaldinho, who was in the front, chased desperately, but still failed to catch up.
Su Dong in the middle had been waiting for a long time. He jumped in front of center defender Chris and poked the ball into the Lyon goal, which was close at hand. Two to zero!
The whole Gerland Stadium was shocked!
It’s only thirteen minutes!
…
Houllier quickly came to his senses and began to realize that the team must adopt a more secure defense.
It's not that Lyon's tactics are aggressive, but that Barcelona's offensive firepower is too fierce.
Su Dong, Ronaldinho, Messi, which one is not a star with super personal ability?
Putting them together to form a combined force, this attack lineup was simply impossible for Lyon to parry.
Houllier's adjustments have also had a certain effect. Lyon's strength is also good, especially midfielder Mohamed Diarra. He has performed very well this season and has been attracted by many wealthy teams including Real Madrid.
focus on.
After that, the game fell into a stalemate.
But before the end of the first half, Lyon tried to launch a wave of attacks, especially in the 41st minute after Malouda had a beautiful one-two with Pedretti.
He kicked his feet and slid out of the door slightly, shocking everyone into a cold sweat.
Later, Lyon tried to grab a wave before the end of the game, but Barcelona decisively seized the opportunity.
A long pass from Puyol in the defense went directly to the frontcourt.
Lyon central defender Chris was facing the direction of his own goal and thought he had grabbed the spot. There were no Barcelona players around him. He was a little too confident and wanted to wait for the ball to fall before passing it back to the goalkeeper.
But at this moment, goalkeeper Kupe shouted in shock.
Chris was shocked, but how could he do it in time?
I saw Su Dong, who was still quite a distance behind him just now. I don't know what happened, but he was so fast. He suddenly got to his side, squeezed him away with his body, and faced the falling ball with his head.
The ball is pushed forward lightly.
The ball fell into Lyon's penalty area, and Su Dong caught up with it again, grabbing the ball before Kupe could hit the target and stabbed it.
The ball passed under Kupe and fell into the goal behind him.
In the 44th minute, Su Dong scored again and scored a hat trick!
The 40,000 Lyon fans in the Stade Gerland watched helplessly as Su Dong opened his arms and soared over the French pitch.
