Su Dong had two shots and one pass and was elected the best player of the game.
This score is a slight advantage for the home team Barcelona, but it is not very safe. After all, the second leg is an away game. As long as they concede two goals, Barcelona will be eliminated due to away goals.
For Barcelona, whose defense has always been weak, this risk still exists.
However, in this home game against Arsenal, Barcelona's performance still won unanimous praise from the media and fans, especially Sudong, who scored 12 goals in five games. This state is quite outstanding.
More importantly, Sudong is constantly breaking La Liga's scoring records.
Whether it is La Liga's single-season scoring record, or La Liga's single-season scoring record on all fronts, Sudong is raising them to a new, desperate new level.
Some media even asserted that this is likely to be a new record that will be difficult to break in the next fifty years.
Against Arsenal, Barcelona had another gain, and that was Xavi's return.
Since Xavi was injured, although Barcelona has adopted the midfield combination of Deco and Iniesta, and the performance is remarkable, the two midfielders still cannot fill Xavi's vacancy.
Iniesta is good at controlling and dribbling the ball, Deco is good at both offense and defense, but Xavi is better at passing the ball.
Whether it is short passing organization, long passing, or the most deadly and his best direct passing, Xavi is quite superb.
So many people miss it and say that without Xavi, Barcelona would have fewer direct passes.
Harvey has returned from injury. Although he has not yet found his best form, it is gratifying news after all.
…………
…………
While the outside world was reporting on the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals and hyping Su Dong's 12 goals in five games, the person involved started a new round of recovery and training at Gamber Sports City.
This is the case for professional players, especially after the league starts, it is almost difficult to find free time.
Every day is either competing or training.
"They asked me to go over and take a look before. Harvey's condition is not very good."
After the training, Su Dong lay down on a soft sofa chair and let personal trainer Grant Downing massage his legs.
The British physiotherapist sometimes pushed the muscles, sometimes patted them gently and made a snapping sound.
At the same time, he was also chatting with Su Dong about what he had learned.
As his reputation grew, Barcelona's medical staff occasionally invited him to participate in the recovery of some players from injuries.
Of course, this requires payment, and Su Dong doesn't mind them using their free time to make some extra money.
Nuno Cruz has been teaching at the University of Lisbon, and his two classes a week are always crowded and very popular. It is said that many students from other schools come to listen to his classes. His alma mater, Loughborough University
I also wanted to invite him to teach, but he really couldn't spare the time, so he had to politely decline.
Su Dong had no objection to these.
When mentioning Harvey, Su Dong also sighed. He still misses Harvey's passing.
"After all, he took half a year off and experienced such a serious injury. He also needs some time to recover and gradually regain his form and confidence."
Grant Downing nodded, "Yes, but he is a little anxious now and wants to catch up with the Champions League and the World Cup, especially the World Cup."
The World Cup, held every four years, is the tireless pursuit of all professional players.
If football is really a war without gunpowder, then the best representative of football is to put on the jersey of the national team and fight for the people of the motherland behind it!
This is why, despite the complaints from clubs, no team has ever dared to prevent players from participating in the World Cup or qualifying matches and doing their best for the national team. This is not only due to FIFA regulations, but more importantly, the mentality of the players.
Playing for a club is money, but playing for the national team is an honor.
This is especially obvious for Brazilian players. Many of them even have to travel to South America to compete at the expense of affecting the club's games. So much so that when Barcelona signed so many Brazilian players, Cruyff found it unbearable.
But for Su Dong, the World Cup is too far away.
"For me, the Champions League final is my World Cup!" Su Dong said lightly.
Grant Downing also knew about Su Dong's situation and knew that he had accidentally touched his heart, so he immediately said nothing.
Nuno Cruz and Vito Scala both came over to report today's test results and training status to Su Dong.
After Grant Downing finished the massage, Su Dong also sat up and said, "Nuno, I want to participate in the next La Liga. What do you think?"
"Why?" Vito Scala was very surprised.
Barcelona has already won the championship ahead of schedule, and there is no need for Sudong to play in the remaining games of La Liga.
After playing Arsenal in the second round to determine the winner, if Barcelona successfully advances, then the most important thing for him will be the Champions League final.
Barcelona aims to defend the Champions League and win the Triple Crown at the same time!
At this moment, there is no need to be distracted by La Liga.
Su Dong did not directly answer Scala's question, but looked at Nuno Cruz. He knew that Nuno Cruz must understand what he wanted to do.
Sure enough, the Portuguese smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Why are you doing this?"
Vito Scala and Grant Downing are both confused. What riddle are they playing?
But soon, they also smelled something.
"This is the Virgo perfectionism complex at work!" Nuno Cruz pointed at Su Dong and cursed with a smile.
Scala and Tangning immediately understood.
Su Dong wants to score more league goals, but is this necessary?
"You have already scored forty-three goals. The media outside have said that you may not be beaten in the next fifty years. Why do you need to score a few more goals?" Scala smiled bitterly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The media is reliable, even a sow can climb a tree! Do you believe what they say?" Su Dong asked back.
Only if you have been in contact with Su Dong for a long time can you understand how serious his perfectionism complex is.
Sometimes, it can really drive people crazy.
Of course, Su Dong is doing this more to himself. If he treats everyone around him so harshly, then few people will be able to stand him, and they will all be driven crazy by him.
"Yeah, I don't think it's necessary. Forty-three goals are enough. Or, just play one or two games and make it up to forty-five." Tang Ning also advised.
Nuno Cruz looked at Su Dong quietly. After finding that he was unmoved, he immediately shook his head and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, the next two games will be a week, and after the game, we will start the Champions League directly."
In the final, even if we cooperate, the coaching staff probably won't agree."
After Su Dong heard this, he immediately laughed, "I will be in charge of the coaching staff, but I want to know, what do you think?"
Nuno Cruz and the other three looked at each other, a little helpless.
Once Su Dong's perfectionism complex comes to mind, it is really a headache.
He wants to score as many league goals as possible and create a desperate scoring record.
But how meaningful is it?
The thoughts of a Virgo man are really unpredictable!
"From a professional perspective, combined with your current physical condition, I don't think it's a big problem, because your current physical condition is really good, but the specific situation still needs to be determined based on the actual situation and consumption of the game." Nuno·
Cruz sighed helplessly.
"Then..." Su Dong looked at Nuno Cruz.
"Anyway, I will try my best and seize the time to adjust the training plan for you."
Su Dong looked at Scala and Tangning again. Even Nuno Cruz said the same thing. The two could only helplessly spread their hands and said that they would do their best to cooperate with Su Dong.
"Don't worry, after this season is over, I will definitely give you a big red envelope!"
After finishing speaking, Su Dong immediately jumped down from the sofa chair and walked directly out.
"Hey, where are you going?" Nuno Cruz asked.
You haven't taken a shower yet, where are you going?
"Rijkaard and the others are still here, I'll go talk to them."
…
Watching Su Dong leave, Nuno Cruz shook his head helplessly and laughed.
"Are all Virgo men like this?" Grant Downing was curious.
"I don't know." Scala shook his head, "But I have cooperated with several Virgo players. I can guarantee that Su Dong is definitely the most deadly among the Virgos."
Nuno Cruz and Tangning both nodded and agreed with Scala's words.
"His strict requirements on himself are not new now, but I think it may be because he has such a perfectionism complex in his heart that he is extremely picky about himself and is able to achieve the results he has today. You see
You can tell just by looking at his daily training."
Scala and Tangning both nodded.
Who says it's not?
Su Dong's training has always been meticulous, and even every movement requires himself to be as perfect as possible.
This is true not only for football training, but also for yoga training and swimming.
For example, stand on your head.
Vito Scala went to a European-level coaching conference before, where Su Dong's training was discussed. Many coaches were shocked by what Scala said about Su Dong's body and training.
They would never have thought that with Su Dong's height, weight, muscle strength, etc., he could still complete such a standard handstand. This is almost unrealistic.
Even if you look around the world of football, you will definitely not be able to find a second one.
After the news came out, Drogba once wanted to challenge a handstand in yoga, but he couldn't do it at all.
Whether other players have tried it or not, outsiders have not grasped the situation, but according to the feedback, no one can really do this. This is a contradictory combination.
But there are many such self-contradictions in Su Dong.
For example, his height and his speed, his height and his frequency of movements, his muscle strength and his flexibility...
There were so many contradictions in Su Dong that some media jokingly asked whether they should consider dragging Su Dong to the laboratory for slices and studying him to see if he was from Namek?
But only the personal coaching staff, Nuno Cruz and others truly understand that everything Su Dong did was achieved through practice.
As for why others cannot practice it, but Su Dong can, science cannot explain this aspect.
