When Sudong knocked away Otamendi and headed straight for the penalty area with the ball, everyone in the audience was basically sure that no one could stop Sudong from threatening Porto's goal again.
Porto goalkeeper Ayrton stood in the small penalty area, hesitating whether to attack?
He attacked just now, but was deceived by Su Dong. What now?
But at the moment when he was hesitating, he saw Su Dong, who had just rushed into the top area of the arc and had not even entered the penalty area, suddenly fired without thinking.
The ball was like a cannonball, flying straight towards the goal with lightning speed.
When Ayrton reacted, he was about to make a save when he felt a gust of wind pass by him.
That's too late!
This idea suddenly popped into his mind.
The ball went in!
The Brazilian goalkeeper was completely stunned.
He never expected that Su Dong's kick would be so decisive and his shot would be so powerful. What's even more frightening is that with such force and the speed of the ball, he could still find the best angle.
What a terrible shooting skill!
Ayrton stood there dumbfounded. From beginning to end, he didn't even have time to react.
A feeling of despair quickly invaded his entire body, making him feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Two solo shots and goals scored both times!
…
After Su Dong scored, he ran out of the stadium excitedly, shouting all the way and calling his teammates over to celebrate. He also called on the fans in the stands to shout louder and more passionately.
"Manchester City's attack was very smooth tonight."
"Porto failed to suppress Manchester City's midfield, which allowed Manchester City to successfully control the situation and possession of the ball."
"We can't understand why Villas-Boas adopted such a tactical approach. We can only say that from the beginning to the present, Manchester City has suppressed Porto both tactically and in terms of player performance."
"Obviously, Manchester City has taken advantage of its overall strength and also its advantage in passing and controlling the ball."
"Two to zero, the current situation is quite unfavorable for Porto."
"Su Dong used two single goals to prove his calmness and stability at critical moments, helping Manchester City lead by two goals."
"If Porto cannot come up with a more effective method, tonight's final may be dominated by Manchester City."

In the stands, like all Manchester City fans, De Bruyne and Courtois stood up excitedly and applauded Sudong's goal, especially Courtois, who was obviously more excited.
"That's amazing!" Courtois praised heartily.
This made De Bruyne next to him very surprised. Is this the talented goalkeeper Courtois he knew, who was arrogant and didn't take anyone seriously?
"If you were to defend this ball, would you be able to defend it?" De Bruyne suddenly asked with a curious smile.
Courtois thought about it seriously for a while, shook his head and said, "It's probably difficult."
"Is it difficult to save?" De Bruyne felt strange. The ball didn't seem to be very tricky.
Courtois thought for a while and said: "Before Su Dong kicked the ball, it gave people the impression that he would dribble the ball into the penalty area. The goalkeeper has always judged this way, but the problem is that the Porto goalkeeper obviously
After hesitating for a moment, Su Dong took advantage of this loophole and took off directly. He grasped the timing well and was very decisive, but the most important thing is that his entire shooting action was too fast."
"From the kick to the goal, I swung my legs, my feet were strong enough, and the angle was good, the ball was very fast. This caused the goalkeeper to react and it was too late to save. This is the most desperate thing."
When he said this, Courtois looked at De Bruyne and found that he was confused and could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
"To put it simply, facing Su Dong, you can't make any mistakes, but which goalkeeper can make no mistakes? Especially when dealing with such sudden changes on the field, who would have thought that the defense would suddenly lose the ball? Who would have thought that,
Will Otamendi be knocked away?"
De Bruyne understood now.
It is indeed very difficult to avoid making mistakes in such an unexpected situation.
"Su Dong is really strong!" De Bruyne said sincerely.
They are all young players, all talented young players. They used to be somewhat arrogant, thinking that if others could do it, they could do it themselves, but when they actually watch the game live, they will realize that they are not even on the same level as Su Dong.
When comparing players, even with David Silva, Toni Kroos and Busquets, they are inevitably a little inferior.
Even midfielders like Moutinho and Thiago are midfielders with good strength and extraordinary potential.
The reason why De Bruyne is willing to return to Belgium to play for Genk for another season is because with his current strength, if he comes to Manchester City, it may be difficult to grab a position and there will be very few playing opportunities. It is better to stay in Belgium and continue
Leveling up.
Comparing people with each other makes people angry.
Toni Kroos was born in 1990, and Thiago was born in 1991. One is one year older than De Bruyne, and the other is only a few months older than De Bruyne. But now one of them is Manchester City's centre-back.
The main player on the field, and the other is an important substitute.
De Bruyne himself feels that in front of them, he really has nothing to show off, so he can only continue to improve himself and strive for a chance to play in Manchester City in a year.
But Courtois's decision was the opposite.
"Are you really determined to stay?" De Bruyne asked with concern.
Courtois is actually still an option.
Manchester City hopes that he will stay and compete with Joe Hart and Given, and even the club does not rule out the introduction of another powerful goalkeeper this summer. However, if Courtois himself asks for a loan, it is estimated that Manchester City is very likely to agree.
However, Courtois chose to stay.
"Yes, I want to stay and train and compete with the best forwards in the world. For me, this is the best way to improve. As long as I can defend Su Dong's shot, there will be no success in the world."
I can't defend the goal!" Courtois seemed confident.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He has many shortcomings, but one thing is the most rare.
That is, he is always so confident, so confident that he is a bit arrogant.

Within eleven minutes, they led by two goals, which was a very painful blow to Porto.
Villas-Boas also felt very helpless about the team's start.
He now has a personal understanding of Ferguson's difficulties and knows why in the FA Cup final, Ferguson chose not to send someone to guard Su Dong and not to tailor a targeted defense for him.
When Porto devotes too much defensive power to Sudong, the overall defense will be weakened, especially the midfield defense, which will inevitably cause the team's midfield to lose ground. Manchester City will naturally control the midfield and possession of the ball.
This creates an overwhelming advantage on the scene.
After Manchester City's midfield has formed an advantage, it will provide endless opportunities to the teammates in front. With Su Dong's ability, coupled with the support of Di Maria and Sanchez on the two wings, goals will be scored sooner or later.
matter.
And like Manchester United, they were unwilling to invest too much defensive power in Su Dong, which resulted in Su Dong gaining more freedom and space to play, thus disrupting Manchester United's defensive deployment.
This is a dilemma of multiple choice.
When Su Dong's and Manchester City's passing and ball control are integrated, no matter which one is defended, they cannot defend.
Boas is now ashamed and angry. He realizes that it's not that Ferguson can't do it, but that no one can do it.
Fortunately, he was proud to think that he could do what Ferguson couldn't do, but what was the result?
He did worse than Ferguson.
At least Ferguson didn't concede two goals in the first eleven minutes.
After realizing this, Villas-Boas began to change his tactics and let Porto take a defensive stance.
There is no other way.
If you defend, you may still have a chance. If you don't defend, if you let Manchester City continue to attack like this, they may be beaten by a big score every minute.
But when he was on defense, Villas-Boas discovered to his embarrassment that his entire lineup was for offense, especially the midfield and frontcourt.
…
Manchester City didn't pay too much attention to Porto's ideas. They still remained steady and courageous, and methodically played the game according to their own rhythm and ideas.
After Porto retreated, the defense was stable, but Manchester City still had the advantage in possession.
Especially in the second half, when the two sides changed sides and fought again, Porto did create opportunities.
In a counterattack after stealing the ball in midfield, James Rodriguez passed the ball behind him. Falcao stepped in, got in between Kompany and Pepe, and headed the goal into the far corner.
But he slid out slightly and failed to score.
On the contrary, in the 67th minute of the second half, Manchester City once again launched a fierce offensive.
After Marcelo, Di Maria and David Silva cooperated continuously on the left side, Marcelo picked up the ball from the left corner of the penalty area and passed it to the front point of the penalty area.
Otamendi grabbed the spot and headed the ball out of the penalty area.
James Rodriguez got the ball, turned and dribbled to start a counterattack, but the ball was intercepted by Busquets in time and quickly passed to Toni Kroos.
After the German midfielder stopped the ball, he sent a diagonal pass to the right sideline, which is the weakest area of Porto's defense.
Sanchez quickly stepped in, stopped the ball and forced a breakthrough with the ball. He rushed horizontally into the penalty area in front of the baseline and passed back to the penalty spot.
Sudong followed up in time, inserted into the penalty spot, and shot angrily, once again piercing Porto's goal.
Three to zero!
hat trick!
The crazy cheers of Manchester City fans came from the Dublin Arena.
Su Dong opened his arms like a glider, flying in the night sky of Dublin Arena.
Manchester City players also rushed out of the stadium one after another and hugged Su Dong.
Three to zero, Manchester City won this game without any danger!
Villas-Boas's Porto had no strength to resist when facing the powerful Manchester City.
Falcao and Hulk, who were praised as flowers before the game, also had no performance in front of Pepe and Kompany, the two best central defenders in the Premier League this season, except for Falcao's header.
Hulk's shot created a slight threat, but the whole audience was silent.
And with Su Dong's hat trick, Manchester City achieved the Triple Crown!
