Su Dong has never played as a central defender, but he has often competed with central defenders on how to play as a central defender. He still has some experience.
Especially the cooperation with Vidic.
The Serbian central defender told Su Dong that although he attacked, he would stay behind and sit back.
This undoubtedly released the shackles on Su Dong.
Since it was a friendly match, both sides played very openly. Ajax also adhered to its traditional tactics and launched a decisive and violent attack from the beginning, especially Icelandic center Kolbein Si, who had just joined from Alkmaar this summer.
Gersorsson.
During a forward push, Su Dong made a decisive move and directly blocked Sig Thorson with his body. Relying on his height and long legs, he took the first step to protect the ball behind him. With his back, he immediately suppressed Sig Thorson.
Thorson immediately passed the ball back.
This clean defense won Su Dong warm applause.
Vidic also laughed and gave Su Dong a thumbs up, as if to say, you really have the talent to play as a central defender.
After tasting the sweetness, Su Dongyi tried his best. Anyway, as soon as Ajax attacked, he immediately rushed forward and wrapped his body around Sig Thorson, always making the Icelandic center return without success.
Ajax also quickly adjusted their tactics, allowing left winger Dirk Borricht to actively cut inside and try to hit Su Dong behind.
Unexpectedly, when Borricht strode with the ball and was about to enter the penalty area, Su Dong caught up from behind and was even faster than him. He immediately surpassed him and cut in between Borricht and Borricht.
Between the balls, he stopped the ball at his feet first, took the ball to the right side of the penalty area, made a big-footed clearance, and kicked the ball forward.
"Wow, I didn't expect that when playing as a central defender, Su Dong is still so fast and his explosive power is still so good."
All the fans at the scene applauded vigorously.
If not for anything else, just to be able to watch Su Dong play as a central defender, it was worth it!
This is definitely the biggest central defender in football history.
Ferguson was also smiling from ear to ear on the sidelines and kept applauding.
Even Vidic couldn't help but admire: "If you don't play as a center but as a central defender, you will definitely be the world's top central defender."
Su Dong gave him a "go away" look and walked back speechlessly.
Especially when he saw the triumphant expression of the bad old man Ferguson on the sidelines, Su Dong really wanted to ask him, are you sure that placing me as a central defender will make you happier?
…
The first half ended in a draw with a score of 0-0.
It was the first time for all the players to cooperate, and the game was very open. No one took it seriously. It was more like an exhibition match.
Ronnie played very wildly, dribbling the ball and passing people with ease, and once he was tackled by Vertonghen so badly that even the players of the World Star Team couldn't help but applaud.
This Ajax center back is really good.
It is not difficult to see from this that Belgian football has really produced a large number of talents in recent years.
After changing sides and fighting again in the second half, Su Dong gradually adapted to the central defender's playing style, especially when dealing with Sig Thorson, and became more comfortable. So he spotted an opportunity, suddenly rushed forward, and directly squeezed Luo Luo away with his body.
Denis Sneijder, after grabbing the ball, quickly rushed forward with the ball.
He crossed the center line from the outside of the penalty area, and the entire Amsterdam Arena burst into cheers.
In their impression, this is how the Dutch full-attack, full-defense central defender should play.
But which central defender has Su Dong's speed and explosiveness, and his ability to dribble the ball?
Just after crossing the halfway line, Su Dong suddenly sent a long pass.
I saw Ronnie understanding the situation and running straight behind the defense as quickly as possible, penetrating Ajax's defense like a bolt of lightning. After receiving Su Dong's pass at the edge of the penalty area, he calmly scored with one shot, one to zero!
The whole stadium was boiling.
Su Dong ran over immediately, hugged Ronnie and celebrated the goal.
Since leaving Sporting Lisbon, the two have never collaborated in an event with so many people. This is the first time.
…
After Ronnie scored, Ajax's offense was completely ignited.
The home team began to launch a crazy counterattack. The cooperation of the world star team was too unfamiliar, and there were mostly old players. This resulted in a relatively passive scene, and the players were more focused on having fun. It was really difficult to stop the young people from Ajax.
Human impact.
Rodney Sneijder had a long shot, which caused Van der Sar to miss. Deco Borricht directly inserted into the penalty area to make up the shot. At the critical moment, Su Dong blocked the shot and the ball hit him firmly.
body, rebounded out of the bottom line.
The ensuing corner kick went into the penalty area of the World Stars team, and Vidic headed the ball out of the penalty area.
As soon as Carrick stopped the ball, he saw a figure jumping out quickly next to him.
The Manchester United midfielder understood the idea and quickly passed the ball in front of Su Dong.
Su Dong's speed did not slow down. After stopping the ball forward, he directly passed the ball diagonally and passed it in front of Ronnie again.
The Portuguese winger moved forward at the fastest speed, received the ball on the left side of the penalty area, attracted the attention of the defensive player with the ball, and suddenly buckled the ball back and passed it back to the top of the penalty area.
Su Dong, who was chasing all the way, rushed to the top of the penalty area. Facing Alderweireld, who was guarding him, Su Dong stopped the ball to his left with his right foot. He also adjusted his direction and got rid of Belgium.
The central defender, after slipping through a gap, shot directly with his left foot.
The ball quickly penetrated Ajax's goal like a cannonball, and goalkeeper Cillessen was helpless!
Two to zero!
In an instant, the entire Amsterdam Arena erupted in extremely warm applause.
So exciting!
A central defender ran all over the stadium and finally scored a goal with a heavy shot. Is there anything more shocking than this?
In particular, this central defender also has a well-known name.
Su Dong!
The whole stadium was shouting his name.
Although Su Dong has never played for Ajax, he is still loved by Ajax fans.
Ferguson on the sidelines shook his head dejectedly, regretting that he had put him at center back.

In the end, the World Stars defeated Ajax 2-0.
When interviewed by the media after the game, Ferguson smiled and said, "When I first met Su Dong, I felt that this tall man of 1.95 meters was really suitable to play as a central defender. As a result, everyone also saw that
Now, he has shown the level of a top central defender in the world, and I am very optimistic about his development in the central defender position."
Van der Sar also said that when Su Dong stood in front of him, "He made me feel very at ease. He is an excellent central defender."
Vidic even did not hesitate to offend his teammates and said, "Su Dong is the best central defender I have ever worked with."
Su Dong was nearby and almost cried when he heard it.
Everyone praised him for playing well, but the question is, why is he not happy at all?
…
At the end of the farewell game, there is a special part, which is Van der Sar's farewell.
The Dutch goalkeeper, wearing autumn clothes and holding a microphone, walked alone to the center circle of the stadium and accepted the cheers of the fans.
He emotionally thanked all the fans present and friends who came specifically for him.
"It was a great night and gave fans another chance to see some of the top stars and our rising stars at Ajax in action."
Van der Sar expressed his gratitude to everyone for their support, highlighting Ajax and Manchester United.
Van der Sar is full of special feelings for the team that trained him. He said that he will not keep the fans waiting for too long because he has decided to return to Ajax and take up the administrative management of the club.
But before that, he still needs to study further.
Regarding Manchester United, Van der Sar also said that he is full of good memories, thanking Ferguson, thanking Meulensteen, and thanking all the players.
Finally, Van der Sar took his whole family together to thank all the fans and everyone in the center circle.
The most enthusiastic and last burst of applause in the audience was dedicated to Van der Sar and this great goalkeeper!

Go separately when you come, and go together when you go back.
Sudong, Courtois and Ferguson returned to Manchester on the same plane as the Manchester United players.
Ferguson was quite interested in Courtois. He noticed Su Dong's support for the young player, and also saw Courtois's extraordinary qualities, especially his height, which was really eye-catching.
The well-informed Scottish coach immediately guessed Su Dong's intention, which was quite amusing.
Manchester United is also worried about the goalkeeper situation. They brought in De Gea at a high price just to make up for the vacancy left by Van der Sar's departure.
Su Dong didn't notice Ferguson's eyes, he was more concerned about Courtois's gains from this trip.
"I chatted with Edwin for a long time, and also talked a lot with France, and I gained a lot. Many things that were unclear or uncertain are now clear to me, and I have the contact information for future convenience.
Feel free to contact me anytime.”
When Courtois said this, he looked at Su Dong with gratitude in his eyes.
He knew that Su Dong helped him with all this. Otherwise, with his current status, how would he have the chance to appear on such an occasion?
"Francs told me that Unzue is a very capable goalkeeper coach and asked me to train with him." Courtois no longer seemed hesitant, but became determined.
Su Dong smiled and nodded.
In fact, he was not sure what Courtois could gain before. He just wanted to give it a try and help him fulfill his wish. After all, Courtois's idol is Edwin van der Sar.
As for now, Courtois says he has gained a lot, and Sudon is equally unsure.
Words of mouth are always unreliable. Whether there are any gains and how much you can benefit from it depends on subsequent training, how much your level can be improved, and how much you can perform in the game.
If Courtois wants to challenge Joe Hart for the main position, he needs to do more and perform better.
After all, what he faced was not an ordinary goalkeeper, but the England national goalkeeper!
In the Premier League, it is not an easy task to challenge England's main goalkeeper position.
Whether it was before or now, Su Dong was not sure whether Courtois could do it. The only thing he could do was to provide some help as much as he could.
Manchester City needs a goalkeeper who is better and more in line with the team's tactics!
