After narrowly defeating Bordeaux 3-2 in an away game, Su Dong won unanimous praise from the media and fans after the game.
With the injuries of Franck Ribery and Robben, Bayern's two wingers were once again in trouble, and Su Dong's importance was further highlighted. Everyone once again realized that Su Dong was the most unbeatable for Bayern.
The missing players are also the core combat effectiveness, especially when the game falls into a difficult situation.
Although Blanco's Bordeaux lost at home, they won unanimous recognition after the game.
French media even believe that Bordeaux's ability to force defending champion Bayern into this situation can be regarded as a victory to a certain extent. After all, in the past two years, the team that can force Bayern into this situation is really unhappy.
many.
At the post-match press conference, Blanco was dissatisfied with the defeat. He believed that the victory should have belonged to Bordeaux because Bordeaux played better throughout the game, especially under Thomas Muller.
After the red card.
This is exactly what Heynckes wanted to react. He accused the referee of being too indulgent to the home team, failing to protect Bayern's players well, and failing to control the game well, resulting in the game being intermittent, not smooth, and the scene lost.
Got control.
In fact, this is not the first time that Danish referee Hauge has caused controversy.
This time, Bayern was directly given two red cards, which once again triggered controversy among the media and fans in Germany and France.
The German media accused Bordeaux of being too rough and brutal and playing a destructive football. The referee gave Bayern two red cards and was too biased in favor of the home team. The French media believed that Bayern's red cards were self-inflicted and criticized Hauge's several controversies during the game.
He criticized the penalty and believed that if Hauge enforced the law fairly, the victory should belong to Bordeaux.
The media from both sides are making a fuss, but there is one point of rare unity.
Su Dong's performance is indeed outstanding!
Both goals were quite exciting, especially the second goal. After consecutive passes, he volleyed with his left foot. The quality of the completion was very high, and Bordeaux really had no temper.
Bordeaux goalkeeper Calasso said in an interview with the French media after the game that he had no idea at the time that Su Dong could shake off the defender in such a way. "At that time, I was completely confused."
Central defender Siani praised Su Dong's physical confrontation. He believed that he tried his best but could not stop Su Dong. Instead, he was knocked out of balance. "He is like King Kong and cannot be shaken."
Bayern giant Beckenbauer praised Su Dong in a column, believing that he once again demonstrated the value of the world's top superstar.
"As I said before, Su Dong is the undisputed number one superstar in the world. The more critical moments come, the more valuable he will be. I believe that this year's World Footballer and Ballon d'Or Award must belong to him.
.”
Interestingly, the day after Bayern defeated Bordeaux, French Football Magazine announced the 30-person shortlist for the 2009 European Ballon d'Or as scheduled. Bayern shortlisted six players in this list.
The team with the largest number of players.
They are Sudon, Ribery, Robben, Schweinsteiger, Lahm and Lucio.
This is basically in line with outside speculation.
As Bayern successfully defends its title, the value of the team's stars is getting higher and higher, especially superstar players like Franck Ribery and Robben, who are basically regulars on the Ballon d'Or candidate list.
However, everyone knows in their hearts that if nothing unexpected happens, the award this time should still belong to Su Dong.
The top three are basically Su Dong, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
It is becoming increasingly clear that the Big Three dominate world football.
Next we will see who will fall behind first.
What goes up must come down, this is the rule.
Among the three giants, Su Dong is the oldest, but he is only twenty-five years old and seems to be far from the age of decline.

Returning to Munich from Bordeaux, France, Bayern welcomed Frankfurt at home.
This is the tenth round of the Bundesliga.
Not only that, in the knockout round of the German Cup round of 16 next Wednesday, Bayern will challenge Frankfurt away from home.
It has to be said that the two duels were arranged together at the same time. It must be said that it was a coincidence.
Before the game, Bayern received good news that Robben had returned from injury.
However, out of caution, Heynckes did not include him in the squad.
There is no doubt about the strength of Robben and Ribery. The biggest problem is that they are too fragile and have too many injuries, which has seriously limited the development height of their careers.
…
At home, Bayern encountered stubborn resistance from Frankfurt.
In the first half, the home team had an overwhelming advantage, but could not break Frankfurt's goal.
Until the end of the game, Schweinsteiger and Marcelo formed a cooperation on the left side. When Marcelo broke into the left side of the penalty area and kicked the goal, the ball hit the opponent's defender's leg and rebounded.
Su Dong quickly stepped in, seized the opportunity, and pushed the shot through Frankfurt's goal, one to zero!
After changing sides in the second half, Su Dong received a pass from Lahm from the right and headed the ball over, creating a scoring opportunity for Thomas Muller. The Bayern youngster calmly seized the opportunity and expanded the score to 2-0.
Afterwards, Robben came on as a substitute, but Frankfurt seized the opportunity to counterattack. Lahm made a marking mistake and Meyer pushed in front of the goal to get a goal back for Frankfurt.
But in the 88th minute of the second half, Thomas Muller fired a high ball into the penalty area. Su Dong beat his opponent's header to grab the landing point, and crossed to the right. After the unguarded Robben stopped the ball in his chest, he easily pushed the ball and hit the target.
Three to one!
Bayern eventually defeated Frankfurt 3-1 at home.
With two passes and one shot, Su Dong was once again elected as the best player of the game.
…………
…………
Three days later, the knockout rounds of the German Cup round of 16.
Compared with before, Bayern made a decisive change in formation, allowing Klose and Su Dong to partner as a double striker, while Robben remained on the bench.
As a result, Bayern experienced a big explosion in this game.
In the first fourteen minutes, Toni Kroos assisted Klose to score.
Five minutes later, Thomas Muller provided another assist, and Klose scored twice.
In the 29th minute, Klose intercepted the opponent's defender's pass and returned the favor, giving Thomas Muller a goal.
Bayern led 3-0 in the first half.
Su Dong played very relaxedly throughout the game and did not deliberately pursue goals.
But in the 52nd minute of the second half, Thomas Muller intercepted the ball in the frontcourt and sent a wonderful pass. Su Dong easily moved and hit the ball lightly after receiving the ball, sealing the victory for Bayern.
Subsequently, Su Dong was replaced by Robben.
Bayern finally defeated Frankfurt 4-0 away from home and successfully reached the quarterfinals of the German Cup.
This time, Bayern had a good luck in signing and got Fürth from the Bundesliga 2.
…………
…………
Continuous battles forced personal coach Nuno Cruz to step in again to prevent Su Dong from playing.
He suggested to Heynckes that Su Dong should play as a substitute again.
Recently, Bayern has indeed used Sudong too frequently, even playing in the German Cup.
Of course, this is understandable. Ribery and Robben were both absent due to injuries. After Robben came on as a substitute for two consecutive games, he was unable to play in the game against Stuttgart because he had muscle soreness after playing the game.
Coupled with Olic and other injured players, Bayern's wave of injuries has been fierce.
Therefore, in the eleventh round of the Bundesliga, in the away game against Stuttgart, Heynckes arranged a double forward combination of Klose and Thomas Muller, leaving Su Dong on the bench to recharge his batteries and prepare for the game.
Champions League midweek.
But the result was a bit regrettable. Heynckes's adjustment was barely feasible against mid-to-lower teams, but facing Stuttgart, Bayern completely lost its wings and was attacked from the start.
The midfielder composed of Toni Kroos, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Modric and Mascherano has enough control and good defense, but it seriously lacks the means to attack from the side.
Klose and Thomas Muller in the frontcourt are also known for their movement, and it is difficult to break open the opponent's defense in local areas.
The zero-to-zero stalemate continued into the second half.
In the 65th minute, Heynckes couldn't bear it anymore and finally replaced Su Dong again and replaced Klose.
After the substitutions, Bayern changed back to 433, with Toni Kroos playing as the left winger.
After a little running-in, this set of changes came into effect. In the 83rd minute, Toni Kroos made a big foot transfer and moved the ball from the left to the right. After Lahm got the ball, 45
A diagonal pass to the front of the penalty area.
In front of the penalty area, Su Dong quickly stepped in, used his body to fend off the defender, grabbed a shot from close range, and scored a goal for Bayern.
One to zero!
This goal was kept until the end of the game!
…………
…………
Three days later, in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Bayern faced Bordeaux at home.
Franck Ribery and Robben are out due to injuries, Lucio and Thomas Muller are suspended due to red cards, and Olic and other injured players have not yet returned. Bayern suddenly has no manpower to spare.
Although Su Dong assisted Toni Kroos and scored a goal in the game, he ultimately failed to prevent Bordeaux from scoring.
One to one, the two sides finally shook hands and made peace.
…
After four rounds of games, Bayern has three wins and one draw, basically qualifying first in the group ahead of schedule.
Juventus, with two wins against Zurich, ranked second in the group with seven points, while Bordeaux ranked third with five points.
If there is no suspense about first place in the group, then the battle for second place in the group has just begun.
Bordeaux can still play Zurich and face Juventus at home, and even has a slight advantage in the competition.
Juventus regretted the points they lost against Bordeaux at home.

…………
At the weekend, in the twelfth round of the Bundesliga, Bayern faced Schalke 04 led by Magath at home.
In the fourteenth minute, Sudong received a pass from Weinsteiger and volleyed in the penalty area, breaking Schalke's goal and opening the scoring for Bayern.
Pepe then scored from a corner kick.
Although Schalke 04 pulled a goal back in the second half, Bayern still defeated Schalke 04 2-1 at home.
After this game, the European leagues were suspended again.
