On the evening of August 8, in the first round of the Bundesliga, Bayern challenged Hoffenheim away from home.
This was the first time that Su Dongpo met Ibisevic since 2009.
Last season, the media often compared the two, and even hyped Ibisevic as wanting to kill Su Dong, and he did show such momentum for a time, but a sudden serious injury caused him to stop playing for six months.
Stay away from the playing field.
Su Dong himself did not expect that the first game of the new season would be an away game against Hoffenheim.
Ibisevic was still wearing the blue No. 19 jersey of Hoffenheim's home court. When he saw Su Dong, he still came up to say hello politely. His attitude towards Su Dong has always been very good.
"How's the injury?" Su Dong asked with concern.
Ibisevic looked at his right knee with a complicated expression. The cruciate ligament was ruptured. This was a very serious injury. Many people even retired directly because of it, but he still came back.
"It's pretty good. I've been training for a long time and I feel like I'm in pretty good shape."
Su Dong smiled and nodded, "You still have to pay attention to the injured area and don't get injured again. It's very troublesome to get injured repeatedly in the same position."
"The team doctor reminded me, and I also trained specifically on this point." Ibisevic thanked Su Dong for his concern.
"Come on!" Su Dong encouraged.
At the level of Sudong, Ibisevic is simply not something Ibisevic can shake. Even if Ibisevic scores more goals than Sudong, so what?
So far, the most impressive thing about Su Dong is not that he scored many goals in a single season, but that he scored a lot of goals in consecutive seasons and maintained a very stable state. This is what shocked everyone.
.
Of course, Kicker Magazine made a long analysis report specifically on this point, believing that Su Dong’s stable state comes from his insistence on scientific training and injury prevention for many years. Behind this is the efforts of his entire personal coaching team.
Credit.
You know, the annual salary of Nuno Cruz and others, as well as Sudong's investment in training, are comparable to the income of first-tier European stars, such as Franck Ribery.
Even if he renews his contract, his annual after-tax salary is only 4 million euros. Taking into account various appearance fees, goal bonuses, etc., the annual after-tax income is only 5 million euros. If he wants to support someone like Su Dong,
If he has a personal coaching team, then he has to invest all his annual salary into it without eating or drinking.
After the contract renewal, Ribery has Bayern's second-highest salary, second only to Sudong. If it is Robben, or people like Bastian Schweinsteiger and Lahm below, then I'm sorry, their annual salary
We can't afford such a team.
Even if they can barely afford it, they can't support such a large investment.
In the words of Kicker Magazine, this has become a competitive advantage for Sudong.
His income is too high, and his personal coaching team is also highly invested, so he can get the best and most scientific training and protection, play more time, maintain stable condition, and perform better overall, and then drive his performance through outstanding performance on the court.
Increased income and status lead to increased investment, forming a virtuous cycle.
The key point supporting this cycle is Su Dong's self-discipline and hard work.
Of course, self-discipline and hard work are never lacking in professional football, but other players simply cannot support Su Dong's current investment.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are the best. They have also followed Su Dong in setting up their own personal coaching teams and invested a lot of money, but others have no choice.
For example, Kaká, Franck Ribery, Robben, Ibrahimovic, etc. They are all considered European superstars, but they cannot afford such investment, so they can only choose what they can.
This is even more true for Ibisevic.
Even if he suffers a serious injury such as a ruptured cruciate ligament, he can only seek help from team doctors and experts. How to train afterward, it is difficult to achieve all-round protection, let alone try to help him return to his best condition.
If you want to regain the form of last season, it depends on the players themselves and luck.
…
Ribery, Klose and Lucio were all injured and missed this game.
Heynckes arranged a combination of Olic, Sudong and Robben tonight.
But at the beginning, it was the home team Hoffenheim who took the lead to pose a threat.
Van Buyten, who replaced Lucio, almost scored an own goal in the third minute. Fortunately, Neuer caught the ball in time and narrowly avoided the disaster, which almost scared everyone to death.
Hoffenheim launched a wild attack, and in the 19th minute Ibisevic's header from close range missed the crossbar and went out of bounds.
Huo Cun's tactical play is actually a bit similar to that of Mainz and Dortmund under Klopp's coaching. They are both fast-paced pressing and pressing. The whole court runs very big, and the kicks are like a storm, which is very effective.
Passion.
Bayern has already experienced this kind of tactics, so they are not in a hurry and let you attack.
In the 28th minute, a quick counterattack, Modric passed the ball diagonally to the right. Robben got the ball and ran along the right with the ball. He passed the ball across the right side of the penalty area to the goal. Su Dong followed up and squeezed with his body.

Subsequently, Bayern made substitution adjustments.
In the 72nd minute, Bayern made an attack from the right. Ram dribbled the ball to the bottom line and passed the low ball to the front point.
After Su Dong cleverly stopped the ball at the forward point, he was double-teamed by many defensive players including goalkeeper Hildebrand and central defender Simnich. He turned his back to the direction of the attack and used his heel to pass the ball away from him.
It came out through the cracks.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thomas Muller, who came on as a substitute, caught up quickly and easily pushed the ball into the empty goal.
This cunning little fox was Bayern's best player during this summer's training camp. He plays football very smartly and is especially good at running and catching opportunities.
What Heynckes likes to do the most is to let him hang around behind Su Dong and step in at any time to form a second-tier attack.
…
In the closing stages of the game, Ibisevic assisted his teammates with a header.
But in the end, Hoffenheim lost to Bayern 1-3 at home.
With Su Dong's two shots and one pass, Bayern defeated Hoffenheim 3-1 in the away game and got a good start to the new season.
This victory also allowed Bayern to beat Stuttgart's Wolfsburg 2-0 and reach the top of the Bundesliga in the first round.
Bayern giant Hoeness was full of praise for the victory after the game and made a high-profile appeal to other Bundesliga teams to follow suit.
"I hope we can still see you in the rearview mirror before the winter break!"
Hoeness's remarks once again triggered a wave of protests in German football.
It’s so noisy!
I know Bayern is strong, but is it necessary to hit people like this?
Can't even see it in the rearview mirror?
Is it possible that you, Bayern, are still planning to win 17 games in a row?
