Due to the typhoon, Barcelona's flight arrived at Tokyo Narita Airport in Japan two hours late.
But what’s interesting is that the day after the team arrived, a typhoon passed through, and Tokyo bid farewell to consecutive days of wind and rain.
The Japanese media spoke highly of Barcelona's arrival, believing that Barcelona brought good weather to Tokyo.
Fans are also very enthusiastic about Barcelona's arrival, especially Su Dong.
Japanese fans are almost crazy about this Chinese star who has just set a record for the highest transfer fee in world football. Whether it is training or games, countless fans are attracted to the scene.
It is worth mentioning that Barcelona is not the only La Liga team coming to Asia.
When Barcelona arrived in Tokyo, Japan, Real Madrid was also in Tokyo, and the warm-up matches of the two teams were also held at the same time.
Barcelona's opponent is Kashima Antlers, and Real Madrid's opponent is Tokyo Green.
It is worth mentioning that the defending La Liga champion Valencia is also in Tokyo, Japan. They just had a warm-up match with the Niigata Swans of Japan. As a result, Ranieri's team suffered a miserable defeat to the Japanese team 2-5.
After the game, Su Dong received many calls from his former Valencia teammates. David Silva even revealed the situation in the Valencia locker room on the phone, thinking that many teammates miss Su Dong particularly.
"Can you imagine that we were actually scored five goals by a Japanese team with all our strength?" David Silva was very depressed.
Sotong also has mixed flavors.
On the one hand, he felt that he was right to leave Valencia, but on the other hand, he felt somewhat sorry for his old club.
Ranieri is not an incompetent head coach, and he is no stranger to Valencia, but judging from the 2-5 defeat to the Japanese team, Valencia's biggest problem is not the opponent, but itself.
For example, Ranieri spent a lot of money to recruit many Italian players as soon as he took office, which is highly questionable.
…
The explosive popularity off the court extended to the court.
&#&# &#&#&# miaobiku.com &#&#&#First warm-up match
The match against Kashima Antlers attracted a total of 55,000 fans into the stadium.
This number exceeded the superstar-studded Real Madrid. Their match against Tokyo Green, which was played at the same time, had only 51,000 attendees. In Spanish domestic ratings, Barcelona also surpassed Real Madrid.
The number of viewers for Barcelona's game reached 200,000, while Real Madrid only had 130,000.
During the game, Barcelona also tried its best and showed no mercy.
Sudong opened the scoring for Barcelona just four minutes after receiving an assist from Ronaldinho.
Then Giuly scored two goals in a row.
In the 30th minute, with an assist from Giuli, Su Dong hit a header and scored twice.
Among them, in the 41st minute, Su Dong and Ronaldinho had a very beautiful cooperation at the front of the penalty area.
The Brazilian player passed the ball with the outside of his instep. Su Dong's back was facing the direction of attack. His header came back to the Brazilian's forward line. Ronaldinho followed up, stopped the ball with his chest and hit it directly.
This time the alley-oop cooperation was very imaginative. Unfortunately, Ronaldinho's last shot failed to score.
But it was precisely this cooperation that Kashima Antlers' defensive players had no choice at all. It fully demonstrated the cooperation awareness and tacit understanding of Su Dong and Ronaldinho, and the two began to play on the same channel.
After leading 4-0, the two sides entered the second half.
Rijkaard replaced five players in one breath, but Su Dong and Ronaldinho still stayed on the field.
This is because Barcelona clearly stipulated when signing the contract with the Japanese organizers that the two most popular stars in the team must play the full game in the two warm-up matches.
But everyone can see that both of them clearly showed their strength in the second half.
It wasn't until the 75th minute that Messi came on as a substitute.
…
Messi was not originally on Barcelona's roster for the Asian tour, but while in South Korea, young left winger Araú Riera was injured and was forced to return to Barcelona. Messi just happened to make up the roster, along with technical director Begiristain.
He went to Tokyo, Japan to join the team and also came on as a substitute in this game.
Only four minutes after Messi came on as a substitute, Su Dong received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area, turned around and got rid of it, dribbled the ball into the penalty area, passed the opponent's defender with a series of fake moves, and when he could take off, he chose to
The ball knocks back.
Messi quickly followed up and pushed the ball into the arms of the opponent's goalkeeper.
The Argentinian was so depressed that he held his head and obviously regretted the missed opportunity.
Su Dong walked over happily and touched his head comfortingly, "It's okay. I'll pass it on to you later."
Messi squatted on the grass, raised his head, and looked at Su Dong gratefully.
In his sight, under the lights of the stadium, Su Dong seemed like a god descending from the sky!
"Remember, the more critical the moment, the more calm you must stay!" Su Dong reminded.
Messi took a deep breath and nodded.
…
Kashima Antlers players also quickly realized the problem.
Su Dong is obviously playing for Messi purposefully.
After scoring twice in the first half, he was not replaced due to contract terms, so he wanted to find something happy to do for himself, so he wanted to help Messi score a wave of goals.
.
But the Kashima Antlers players quit!
This is like a skilled woman receiving a client. The price has been negotiated in advance, and I can play with you casually. But if you want to play with your friends, I'm sorry, but this service is not included in the cooperation we have agreed upon.
Want it? Yes, you have to pay more!
As a result, Kashima Antlers' players also became angry and began to frequently obstruct Su Dong.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But soon, Su Dong became more serious.
I'm tired of playing with labor and capital, what's the point of asking my friends to come over and play for a while?
In the 86th minute, Su Dong suddenly went berserk after receiving the ball, passing two defenders of the opponent in a row. Near the bottom line of the penalty area, facing the attacking goalkeeper Hideaki Ozawa, he selflessly passed the ball to the right side of the goal.
Facing the huge empty goal, Messi followed up without hesitation and easily hit the shot, 5-0!
Messi was so addicted that he jumped up with excitement.
Just three minutes later, Ronaldinho tapped his heel on the left edge of the penalty area and passed the ball to Su Dong. After Su Dong got the ball, he turned around deftly to get rid of the defender and passed it to Messi again.
grab
The young Argentinian dunked past the opponent's defender and hit a shot with his right foot, scoring twice!
Six to zero!
This time, Messi was so excited that he jumped on Su Dong's body, shouting and dancing with excitement.
Kashima Antlers players are depressed.
Damn you, even if you don’t pay more, you still come here by force!
It's too much!
…
In the end, Barcelona defeated Kashima Antlers 6-0 in the second warm-up match of the Asian tour.
Su Dong, Jiuli and Messi all scored twice.
After the game, Su Dong and Giuly were highly praised by the media. Messi, who scored twice, also attracted public attention. In particular, many Spanish media were full of praise for the 17-year-old Argentine teenager.
Only Messi knows in his heart that his two goals came from Sudong's selfless gifts.
…
Three days later, Barcelona played the third game of its Asian tour in Shizuoka, Japan, against Jubilo Iwata.
The entire game was under Barcelona's control, including the ball and rhythm. It was basically difficult for Jubilo Iwata to threaten Barcelona.
Although the La Liga giants played very relaxedly, they still frequently created murderous opportunities. The two teams were not at the same level at all.
In the 29th and 35th minutes, Sudong received an assist from Ronaldinho and a corner kick opportunity respectively, scoring two goals for Barcelona. In the second half, Ronaldinho assisted Luis Garcia to score.
Score.
Barcelona beat Jubilo Iwata 3-0.
Won three consecutive victories in the Asia Tour!
…
For two consecutive warm-up games in Japan, the attendance exceeded 50,000 people. Coupled with the overwhelming publicity from the media, Barcelona triggered a crazy "typhoon" in Japan and gained huge popularity.&#&#&#

In addition to generous appearance fees, Barcelona also gained a lot from sponsors, but it was Su Dong who earned the most.
Su Dong's agent Mendes also came to Tokyo, Japan with the team and personally participated in a series of business cooperation negotiations.
As early as when Su Dong decided to participate in Barcelona's Asian tour, Japanese sponsors had already begun to contact Mendes through various channels. While Su Dong was in Japan, in addition to participating in activities arranged by the club, he also participated in
Two personal sponsor events, a total of three personal sponsorships were signed.
These three sponsorships from Japanese companies and brands have increased Su Dong's annual income by more than 10 million euros. At the same time, the two parties will also cooperate to further tap Su Dong's popularity in Japan.
Not only did he earn a lot of money, Su Dong also received overwhelming praise from the media and fans.
The Yomiuri Shimbun, Japan's authoritative newspaper, said that Su Dong's strength and performance impressed Japanese players and fans.
"He used his artistic footwork and absolute strength to give Jubilo Iwata an overwhelming defeat."
The Spanish media also generally praised Barcelona's three warm-up matches in Asia.
World Sports News believes that Su Dong and Ronaldinho have found a tacit understanding and cooperation, and he will solve the problem of Barcelona's weak attack last season.
Even Real Madrid's mouthpiece AS reported that the magical Su Dong made people completely forget about Kluivert, and Barcelona gained a superstar striker for the next ten years!
Many European media have reported on the whirlwind caused by Barcelona and Soviet Union in Asia.
If they were worried or even doubtful about Barcelona's signing of Sudong for 80 million euros before, then seeing Barcelona rely on Sudong's influence in Asia has made Real Madrid, which is full of superstars, feel sad.
Eclipsed, everyone was shocked and regretful.
Especially the commercial overlord Manchester United.
When the British Guardian interviewed Manchester United CEO David Gill, he took the initiative to reveal that Manchester United was too hesitant in recruiting this summer and missed a very good opportunity. This will not only cause the club to face problems at the competitive level, but also in the future.
The commercial aspect is also likely to be overtaken by the two teams from La Liga.
"We could have made up for the losses caused by Beckham's transfer, but now... it's too late."
