The scoreboard at Old Trafford showed the final result of this peak showdown.
One to two, Manchester United suffered a reversal at home against Bayern!
This result made the more than 70,000 fans present feel helpless.
In fact, Manchester United played better in the second half, especially in the last 20 minutes of the game. After Ferguson replaced Rooney and replaced Scholes, Manchester United's offense improved greatly, directly forming a direct attack on Bayern.
Besieged.
But at the critical moment, the old guy Heynckes resolutely gave up face and directly adopted a defensive strategy. Bayern even almost caused Manchester United to concede goals in two counterattacks, and the counterattacks came from Sudong.
The first time was an opportunity created by Su Dong counterattacking with the ball, but when he passed the ball into the penalty area to find Robben, the Dutchman's shot was saved by Van der Sar. The second time was a free kick in the frontcourt created by Ribery during the counterattack.
Su Dong took the penalty himself, but Van der Sar saved the goal as if by a miracle.
It can be said that the two teams played a very exciting and fierce game in this focus battle.
However, Manchester United's two central defender errors in the first half ruined the Red Devils' home advantage and also brought a huge challenge to the away game.
It’s not that there’s no chance, it’s just that it’s very difficult.
In this focus battle, Bayern showed stronger comprehensive strength.
No matter whether it is offense, midfield or defense, they are not inferior to Manchester United at all. They are even better than Manchester United in offense and midfield. They are just not as good as Manchester United in defense, but it is precisely the mistakes in defense that caused Manchester United's failure.
ball.
Sometimes, football is like this and you have to accept it.
…
After the whistle sounded, Su Dong celebrated with his teammates for a while and then walked straight to Ronnie in the middle of the court.
He stretched out his right hand and hugged his old friend.
Ronnie didn't have to look back and guessed it was Su Dong, because only Su Dong dared to treat him like this.
"What a loser!" Ronnie shook his head and sighed in frustration.
Su Dong can understand that except for scoring goals, Ronnie actually performed unsatisfactory most of the game.
how to say?
It's just that he's not in his best position.
When they first met, Su Dong was amazed by Ronnie's skills with his feet. But gradually, as his strength improved and his experience grew, he began to discover that among the top stars, Ronnie's skills were actually
Very average.
To put it more vividly, in the Champions League group stage and the knockout rounds of the top 16, his skills were at ease, but when it came to the quarterfinals, or the semifinals, and the highest level of competition intensity, he had to stop the ball, dribble, break away, etc.
The disadvantages will be exposed.
So why is he able to perform so well?
Because Ferguson used him in the past to take advantage of his advantage, which is speed, his shooting level has also improved by leaps and bounds in recent years, so his scoring ability has skyrocketed.
Watching Ronnie play, no matter what time he plays, the best part of his performance is based on speed and explosive power, including advancing with the ball and attacking from behind.
But these all require space.
If Ronnie is pushed to the center position, the opponent will not be able to give him such a large space to handle the ball and then attack. Therefore, his disadvantages in stopping the ball, dribbling and getting rid of etc. are immediately exposed.
This is why he has always said that he is not good at playing center.
Everyone has their own areas of expertise, Ronnie is like this, Messi is not the same?
His heading and physical disadvantages, as well as his speed, aren't they all disadvantages?
Isn't Robben very capable of breaking through and passing people?
But are his escapes and dribbling okay?
Ribery is exactly the opposite of Robben. He can't forcefully drive the ball, but he is very good at dribbling the ball in small steps, and he is even more exquisite in stopping the ball. He can cut in, cross, split, pass through, and move in a wide range.
It's a good hand.
Not everyone is like Su Dong, who has a system to become the best player in the world. He can still keep making progress in his twenties, and can practice every attribute to the extreme, thereby making himself extremely all-round.
.
The key is to give full play to one's own strengths and cover up one's own weaknesses. This is the role of team tactics.
…
"Really planning to leave?" Su Dong asked softly.
Rooney did not answer directly, but looked ahead. The Manchester United players were walking down the field. His eyes naturally fell on Rooney.
This is something difficult to explain clearly.
Rooney has a household registration and has a unique advantage. In this regard, even Ronnie would have a hard time competing with him.
No team, no matter how global it is, can never ignore its local fans. That is their foundation.
Therefore, Manchester United can sell Rooney, but they will not give up Rooney.
"It's great to go to Real Madrid!" Su Dong sighed.
Ronnie smiled and said, "What about you? Do you really want to win three consecutive championships at Bayern?"
Su Dong nodded, "This is my goal and my way to prove my worth."
Many people will argue whether Bayern made Su Dong the best, or Su Dong made Bayern the best?
But in fact, neither Su Dong nor Bayern's management and coaching staff, or even people who are familiar with professional football, would ask such a question.
Just like, no one will ask, did Maradona become the world champion because he helped Argentina win the World Cup?
Most people who ask this question do so because they ignore the most essential thing, strength!
It's not that Argentina won the World Cup and Maradona was the world champion. On the contrary, it was because Maradona had the ball champion and was stronger than all the players at the time that he was able to lead Argentina to win the World Cup.
Argentina won the World Cup because Maradona had the ability to surpass all players at the time and could even challenge the defenses of all teams.
Bayern has strength, but whether it has the strength to win the Champions League is questionable.
At least from the current point of view, without Su Dong, any star in the Bayern team, including Robben and Ribery, would be difficult to break down Manchester United's level of defense. Therefore, Bayern is at the top four level at best, or even slightly
If you are not careful or have bad luck, you may end up in the top eight.
But Su Dong's arrival helped Bayern securely advance to the semi-finals, the finals, and even win the championship.
Because Su Dong is the kind of player who can destroy the opponent's entire defense line by himself.
It's like he broke down a Manchester United defense tonight.
And all of this is based on Su Dong's strength.
…
"In the future, I mean, after you achieve the three consecutive championships you want at Bayern, is it possible for us to become teammates again?"
Ronnie suddenly looked at Su Dong and asked with concern.
Su Dong smiled, shook his head and said: "No matter which team it is, even if it is like Real Madrid and Barcelona, with players of your and Messi's level, there is no need for Su Dong."
Ronnie felt a little disappointed, but secretly relieved in his heart.
Su Dong is right. In today's world football, the only superstars who can truly break down an opponent's defense are Su Dong, Ronnie and Messi. Kaká used to have one, but not now. confirmed.
In this case, they are both core players that any team dreams of, so it is undoubtedly irrational to choose to go to the same club.
Even if there is a rich team that puts Su Dong, Ronnie and Messi on the same team, will the three of them still achieve such results?
No, only one person can stand out, and the other two will only be at the same level as Ribery and Robben now.
And the person who stands out is most likely Su Dong.
Therefore, to a certain extent, Ronnie does not want Su Dong to go to Real Madrid, but he is very eager to fight side by side with Su Dong again. This should be his biggest contradiction now.
But at his age and level, he won't be emotional.
…
On some topics, the two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't want to talk too much. On the contrary, they talked a lot about football.
Ronnie also has his own team, but its reputation is not as famous as Su Dong's team. He has been practicing shooting and free kicks recently because these two skills are long-term.
This is even more true for Su Dong.
Professional players are very different from other industries. After the body reaches its peak, it can maintain it for a period of time, but soon begins to decline, so it is necessary to prepare for the transformation in advance.
For example, when your speed and explosive power slow down and your impact is no longer strong, how do you kick?
Many people think it is thirty years old, but Nuno Cruz clearly told Su Dong that generally after the age of twenty-six, speed and explosive power will decline, but the speed will vary.
Also, as age increases, physical fitness will definitely decline. When the time comes, Su Dong will no longer be able to run like he is now, and there may not be as many opportunities as he does now. So how will he play?
As we age, muscle strength weakens, and the sensitivity of movements also declines. Especially after a series of movements, fatigue is easy to occur. How should we kick at this time?
Su Dong said that he has begun to appropriately reduce the amount of training, focusing on maintenance. At the same time, he is also strengthening training in other aspects. For example, through various trainings to improve his ability to use the ball in different environments, different positions, and from different directions. The ability of different parts of the body to handle the ball and the subsequent series of offensive actions.
There are also shots and free kicks that Ronnie is taking. Su Dong also often watches game analysis, especially the analysis of his own game videos, to improve his insight into the offensive opportunities of the game.
For example, when it comes to shooting, Nuno Cruz expressed the hope that Sudong would reduce the powerful volleys like Batty GOL.
This kind of shooting is full of violent aesthetics, and it is also Su Dong's famous stunt. He is still able to do it with ease now, but as he gets older, Su Dong will definitely not be able to play like this anymore, so he must change and transform in advance.
Players' career plans must be forward-looking. Su Dong will be 25 years old in September. There is no doubt that he is at the peak of impeccable physical, technical, experience, etc., but precisely because of this, he needs to
Prepare for a rainy day.
So does Ronnie.
Once upon a time, Ronnie was Su Dong's leader, and it was he who led Su Dong into professional football.
But now, Su Dong is already ahead of Ronnie, so he does not hesitate to give him the help he can.
But one thing Su Dong is sure of is that if Ronnie goes to Real Madrid, he will not go.
Because he knows that if he also goes to Real Madrid, it may be okay in the short term, but in the long run, maybe he will lose Ronnie as a friend.
