Neither Platini nor Infantino expected that Su Dong would suddenly come up with such an answer. They both looked at each other in amazement, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
Ever since Sudong left the Portuguese Super League and landed in La Liga, they first won the Champions League in Valencia, then went to Barcelona and won two Champions Leagues in a row, becoming the first team to successfully defend the Champions League since its reform.
.
This is also the third consecutive year that Su Dong has won the Champions League.
In 2007, due to a falling out with Barcelona, Su Dong bought out his contract during the winter break and moved to Bayern on a free transfer. That year, Cristiano Ronaldo led Manchester United to win the championship.
But starting in 2008, Bayern Munich, under the leadership of Su Dong, rose strongly and won three Champions Leagues in a row, creating the most peak moment in Bayern's history. They were the treble champions for three consecutive years. This can be said to be the best in Europe.
Football is unprecedented.
These three years at Bayern have pushed Su Dong's career and historical status to the pinnacle.
So much so that all the media are circulating that Su Dong is a legend who is destined to enter the Bundesliga, Bayern and UEFA Hall of Fame after retirement. Even if he has left Barcelona, he is still a member of the Barcelona Hall of Fame.
In the past seven years, Sudong has won six Champions Leagues and only missed one. This has to be said to be a very surprising feat.
Because of this, he is definitely qualified to say such things.
As long as he is here, there is basically no suspense about the Champions League championship. Isn't this a fact?
"Don't worry, I promise you, I will return to the Champions League soon!"
After Su Dong confidently left a word to Platini, he turned around and walked towards Beckenbauer in the distance.
…
In order to become captain, Su Dong made a special trip to Munich to consult Beckenbauer.
Now, as the captain, he has done quite well, so naturally he has to express his gratitude to the football emperor.
Although Su Dong is no longer at Bayern, his relationship with Bayern is still very good. There will even be some business-level cooperation between the two parties, and his personal relationship with Beckenbauer is even better.
Seeing Su Dong walking towards him, Beckenbauer also left the crowd and met Su Dong.
As soon as the two met, they couldn't help but exchange pleasantries. Su Dong hurriedly thanked him because the tricks Beckenbauer taught him were very effective.
The football emperor not only taught him the skills of being a captain, but also taught him how to be a qualified leader. These have benefited him a lot, so he respects Beckenbauer from the bottom of his heart.
Beckenbauer admired Su Dong very much as a latecomer and was happy to teach him everything he had learned.
Then there was a rare opportunity to meet, and Su Dong naturally took the opportunity to ask about some of the problems he encountered. Beckenbauer also told everything he knew, and was always able to quickly solve Su Dong's problems.
This is the importance of old timers.
Many of the difficult problems Su Dong encountered were the losses they suffered and the lessons they learned back then. Learning from them now can help avoid making the same mistakes again.
Regarding his joining the Premier League, Su Dong said that it is really a challenge, such as the recent Premier League shots and goals.
"The pace of Premier League games is really fast, with a lot of long passes, a lot of shots, and a lot of goals. The games are very intense. From the fans' point of view, it's very exciting, but the pressure is really high." Su Dong
Although he has only played two games, he has already experienced it personally and his impression of the Premier League is still very good.
Beckenbauer burst out laughing when he heard this, "The faster the tempo, the stronger the aggression, and the greater the movement when defending; more long passes mean a lower pass success rate; more shots, actually because there are more long shots, players
Generally more slutty.”
Su Dong was stunned when he heard this. This interpretation was really novel and unique.
But let’s not talk about it, once I think about it, it seems that this is really the case.
Before, he had always been curious, that Ronnie was a bit wasteful in Sporting Lisbon, but after arriving in the Premier League, he obviously became more serious. Didn't Ferguson restrict him?
After he came to the Premier League, he discovered, oh my god, almost every Premier League team has a few who like to shoot wildly.
Moreover, the Premier League likes long passes very much. Even technical teams like Arsenal and Chelsea have a lot of long passes.
In comparison, Manchester City, which mainly relies on short passes, looks very different.
But with the addition of Toni Kroos, Manchester City's wide-ranging long passes have increased significantly.
Due to Su Dong's dominance in the frontcourt, Guardiola has a higher tolerance for direct long passes from the midfield to Su Dong.
To put it bluntly, what Guardiola wants is success rate.
If the success rate of long passes is guaranteed, why doesn't he accept it?
What's more, long passes can also enrich the team's offensive methods, so why not?
"From the current point of view, your biggest opponent this season is likely to be Carlo Ancelotti's Chelsea. The schedule is very favorable to them. After they get into shape, they will have a strong dialogue. This is simply tailor-made for them.
of."
"However, Ferguson's Manchester United also have to pay attention. What this old fox is best at is attacking from behind. Especially after the winter break, reversal can be said to be Manchester United's best weapon."
Beckenbauer reminded Su Dong kindly.
…
At the Grimaldi Conference Center, Su Dong also met his old partners Neuer, Lucio, Robben, Xavi and Messi.
When a group of people meet, there will naturally be a lively exchange of greetings.
Without exception, they are all very concerned about Su Dong's situation in the Premier League.
To put it bluntly, I just want to know how Su Dong is doing in the Premier League.
After all, the media reports were one-sided. They were still more inclined to Su Dong's own feelings.
Su Dong didn't say anything, he just told them that Manchester City's goal this season is the Champions League.
"Next season, we will definitely return to the Champions League!"
These words made Messi and Xavi couldn't help but look at each other, and they could see the determination in each other's eyes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If you want to get involved in the Champions League, this season is undoubtedly the best opportunity because there is no Su Dong.
When Su Dong returns to the Champions League next season, it will definitely bring more variables.
…………
…………
As in previous years, the Champions League group stage draw and awards ceremony were interspersed.
The second tier of teams in this year's Champions League is still very scary. Real Madrid is in this tier, and whoever touches it will be unlucky.
The competition for the best selection of the year is also very fierce, and this year's UEFA awards have further clarified the voting rules, that is, all the head coaches of the top 16 of the Champions League last season have the right to vote for the goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and forward.
Candidates for each position vote to select the best player for each position in their minds.
A similar vote is conducted for the best player, but the list of candidates is larger and wider.
But in fact, after Bayern won three consecutive Champions League titles, everyone knew that there was no need to choose the best player of the year, and even the best forward of the year was no suspense.
On the contrary, the selection competition for the other three positions is very fierce.
In the selection of the best goalkeeper of the year, Bayern's Neuer showed competitiveness for the first time, Barcelona's Valdes also performed quite well, but Inter Milan's Cesar was obviously better.
In the end, Cesar was slightly better, defeated Neuer and Valdes, and successfully won the Goalkeeper of the Year.
The competition for goalkeepers is fierce, and the defenders are equally unambiguous.
Bayern's Lucio, Barcelona's Pique, and Inter Milan's Maicon. These three candidates were all the best defenders in their respective teams. In the end, Lucio defeated Pique and Maicon.
Elected as UEFA Defender of the Year.
Interestingly, the award guest happened to be Bremer, the defender of the German Troika that year.
This player also played for Bayern, although it was only for two seasons, and he was one of the architects of the Kaiserslautern miracle that year.
The selection of the best midfielder of the year was also very fierce. Bayern's Robben, Barcelona's Xavi and Iniesta, and Inter Milan's Sneijder were all strong contenders. In the end, Robben was slightly better.
won this award.
Su Dong finally won the Forward of the Year award without any suspense, which can be said to be well deserved.
The grand finale was presented to Su Dong by Platini himself.
Amid the warm applause of the audience, Su Dong took the Player of the Year trophy from Platini's hands, which was obviously much larger than other trophies. He held two trophies, one large and one small, in his hands.
Su Dong himself found it funny.
When he stood in front of the microphone, the audience laughed involuntarily and burst into even warmer applause.
Regarding Su Dong's achievements, no one in European football or world football is unconvinced.
Even the players and teams he defeated.
On the court, the two sides were relentless rivals, but on the court, when talking about Su Dong, everyone would give a thumbs up.
Su Dong's opening remarks were a shake of his head and a sigh.
"Just now, when I walked into the Grimaldi Conference Center, I really wondered if I had walked into the wrong set?"
"It seems I came early, I should come tomorrow!"
Everyone in the conference center suddenly burst into laughter, all amused by Su Dong's words.
Today, the Grimaldi Conference Center holds the UEFA Champions League group stage draw ceremony, and tomorrow at noon, the same venue as the Grimaldi Conference Center will hold the Europa League group stage draw.
Su Dong's implication is that he should participate in the Europa League draw because he will not be able to play in the Champions League this season.
This slightly self-deprecating statement also reflects Su Dong's confidence.
He is not worried at all that not being able to play in the Champions League will affect his status in world football.
Because he is already strong enough.
So, after amusing the guests with a few words, Su Dong quickly said again.
"However, I also ask everyone to rest assured. I guarantee here that Manchester City and I will return to the Champions League in the shortest possible time!"
"We will definitely shock the world again!"
"Many people say that I went to Manchester City to win the Premier League title."
"Of course, I don't deny that I have such thoughts, but just being the Premier League champion is looking down on me!"
When Su Dong said this, the expression on his face became extremely serious.
"I will definitely lead Manchester City to win the Champions League!"
