When facing Su Dong, any central defender is trembling with fear and walking on thin ice.
When Su Dong was still playing for Bayern Munich, Santana had suffered losses from Su Dong, which made him extremely cautious.
David Silva suddenly sent a long pass over the top, and when the ball was sent to the penalty area, Santana immediately entangled Su Dong, followed him all the way back, and got stuck tightly in Su Dong's ball.
On the inside, I want to be able to rush over and block him immediately when he kicks to hit the goal.
But in this way, there is room on the left side.
The two rushed to the front of the penalty area almost at the same time. Su Dong got stuck in his position. When the ball landed, he did not jump and headed directly.
The ball was pushed by Su Dong to the left side of the penalty area, behind Piszczek.
After heading the ball away, Su Dong suddenly stopped and grinned at Santana, who was facing a formidable enemy.
At this time, Di Maria suddenly shook off Piszczek and sprinted forward as fast as possible.
Santana was so frightened that he didn't care about Su Dong. He immediately rushed to the left, fearing that Di Maria would cut inside.
But at this moment, Su Dong started again, diagonally crossing the goal behind Santana.
Just after Di Maria caught up with the ball, he took a step and quickly passed the ball low with his left foot, sending the ball to the front point.
When the ball arrives, the people arrive!
Sudong got ahead of Subotic and poked the ball into the lower left corner of Dortmund's goal.
Weidenfeller faced this kind of stab that was close at hand. Although he had already taken action immediately, he still could not stop it.
The ball hit the net, one to zero!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
When the Belgian referee's whistle sounded for the goal to be valid, the entire stadium also heard crazy cheers from Manchester City fans.
All the fans rushed out of their seats and shouted wildly at Su Dong, who was running excitedly under the stands and in the stadium.
One to zero!
"This is the first Champions League goal in Manchester City's history!"
"It happened in the fourth minute of the game. Su Dong personally planned and scored this crucial goal."
"This will be a goal that will go down in the history of Manchester City. It is the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the club."
"Let us follow the live TV footage to see the madness of the Manchester City fans at the scene. Although it is separated by the camera and the screen, we can still clearly feel the excitement and excitement in their hearts."
"Manchester City participated in the Champions League for the first time in its history and scored a goal in just four minutes."
"What's more important is that our opponent is the Bundesliga powerhouse Dortmund!"
Su Dong finally rushed to the corner kick area and stood there, opening his arms to all the fans in the stands, as if he wanted to hug them.
Finally, he kissed the ring on his left hand hard and pointed to the stands from a distance.
The shouting of Su Dong's name became louder and louder, and continued for a long time.
Manchester City players also ran out one after another to celebrate the goal with Su Dong.
It was a good start.
…………
…………
The moment Guardiola scored Sudong's goal, everyone jumped up and cheered to celebrate the goal.
"Yes! Yes!!!" Guardiola shouted excitedly, clenching his fists.
This is the first Champions League game in his coaching career, and being able to win this victory is of extraordinary significance to him.
Su Dong's goal undoubtedly opened a good start for Manchester City.
Guardiola excitedly hugged the assistants around him one by one and gave Su Dong a thumbs up from a distance.
Su Dong raised his fisted right hand as a response to him.
"Steady! Steady the rhythm! Steady the ball! Don't be anxious! Stay patient!"
Guardiola walked to the sidelines and shouted to the Manchester City players who were walking back.
Manchester City has the advantage in passing and controlling the ball, while Dortmund is best at pressing and pressing.
This is a kind of competition between the two teams. You will see whether Manchester City controls the ball and slows down the rhythm, or whether Dortmund successfully leads Manchester City away.
To some extent, Manchester City still has an advantage.
Not only in terms of player strength, but also in terms of home court advantage.
…
Klopp seemed much more excited than Guardiola.
After seeing the ball conceded, he rushed directly to the sideline and roared and roared at the player who made the mistake.
He did not hide his dissatisfaction with the players' performance at all, especially the goal he conceded just now, which is so nonsense!
After preparing carefully for so long, you conceded the goal in the first four minutes?
However, Klopp quickly calmed down and immediately signaled the team to pay attention to defense.
In fact, he did not arrange for Gundogan to play tonight. Instead, he asked two defensive midfielders, Sven Bender and Kyle, to team up with double midfielders. The intention is very obvious, that is, to do his best to ensure that the team first
The defense is solid.
But just now, Kyle did not follow up with David Silva immediately, giving him a chance to pass the ball over the top. Su Dong's header pass was also very thoughtful and can be said to be very smart.
As for Di Maria's subsequent pass, this is already considered a routine operation.
If Sudong had chosen to stop the ball at that time, Santana would have been able to entangle him immediately. Coupled with Subotic, as well as Sven Bender and Kyle returning to defense, it was unlikely that Manchester City would score.
But Su Dong chose a passage leading to the goal in an instant. This was entirely due to Dortmund's defender, which was actually a bit difficult.
Klopp clearly realizes that Dortmund should pay more attention to defense.
Just like AC Milan's 2-2 draw with Barcelona at Camp Nou.
Allegri's team accurately grasped Barcelona's weaknesses, so they adopted a defensive tactic and gained a certain advantage through Pato's goal after the opening.
Then they lost two goals in a row, but in the final stage, Da Silva's goal equalized the score again.
The scene was indeed very ugly. The ball possession rate was 75 to 25. AC Milan was only one-third of Barcelona's, and the number of shots was only one-fourth of Barcelona's. But judging from the results, AC Milan at least
Escape from Camp Nou.
This is also a consensus among the outside world on how to restrain Barcelona.
If you want to play like Manchester City in the European Super Cup and play against Barcelona, you have to have Manchester City's staffing and passing and ball control capabilities, as well as Manchester City's set of technical and tactical play.
Otherwise, just stay on the defensive.
To a certain extent, Manchester City is actually another "Barcelona" team.
If you want to restrain Manchester City, you still have to follow the same style of play that restrained Barcelona.
…………
…………
As Dortmund gradually increased its emphasis on defense, the game gradually returned to balance.
Manchester City controlled the ball, and Dortmund pressed hard. However, the double midfielders basically maintained the protection of the defense line, and the two full-backs also reduced the number of late penetrations, which stabilized Dortmund's defense.
The game started to become stalemate.
But Manchester City led by one goal, always maintained their advantage, and successfully controlled the ball.
Manchester City Chairman Mubarak, as well as executives such as Soriano and Begiristain in the stands were very excited and were obviously very satisfied with the start of the game.
"Su will definitely become the greatest legend in the history of Manchester City!" Mubarak said with great certainty.
Although Su Dongcai has only joined the team for more than a year, basically no one will question all this.
"Yes, he will complete the miracle in Manchester City that Maradona achieved in Naples, no, even greater than what the world champion achieved in Naples. I have no doubt that he can lead the team to win the Champions League sooner or later.
Problem." Soriano said firmly.
Begiristain also agreed very much, "Among the current active players, Su Dong's strength is unique, even half a level higher than Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. He is a true living legend."
It can be seen that the three giants are extremely satisfied with Su Dong's performance after joining Manchester City. It can even be said that Su Dong is the most successful transfer signing in Manchester City's history.
"You are twenty-seven years old, you still have to prepare and try to sign a lifetime contract with him," Mubarak said.
This is obviously not just Mubarak's idea, but also Mansour behind it. He has always been a fan of Sudong.
According to the current contract, Su Dong will play for Manchester City until he is 30 years old, but everyone believes that with Su Dong's self-discipline and the personal coaching team behind him, this will greatly extend his career.
Many people even believe that he will be able to play until he is forty years old, just like Maldini, Costacurta and others achieved in AC Milan. Even Su Dong is more self-disciplined and works harder than all of them.
Today, Sudong is Manchester City's most prominent brand.
When the club participated in the Challenger League in the United States, Su Dong was the most sought after by the organizers and sponsors. Some even said that the organizers made an exception to invite Manchester City because of Su Dong.
It can be seen that Su Dong's importance to Manchester City today is not only as captain, not only as a powerful partner, not only as the leading scorer, but also as the vital soul and core in the locker room.
At the critical moment, the only one Manchester City can rely on is Su Dong.
It can be said that Su Dong is Manchester City's core combat effectiveness.
Manchester City management, and even Mansour behind the scenes, see this better than anyone.
Therefore, they can't wait to renew the contract with Su Dong.
Use richer chips, better treatment, and more emotions to leave behind this legendary captain who is destined to go down in the club's history.
Soriano and Begiristain were a little surprised by Mubarak's words, because they had not received the notice before, and they were too anxious to renew the contract now.
But they soon understood what Mansour meant.
The Abu Dhabi consortium is not short of money, but in today's European football there is another tycoon who is not short of money, and that is Paris Saint-Germain behind the Qatar consortium.
In order to boost the World Cup in Qatar, the Qatari consortium is determined to recruit Paris Saint-Germain regardless of the cost, and its number one target is Soviet Union. It even threatened to spend 200 million euros to introduce Soviet Union, and promised a super sky-high price of 100 million euros per year.
Mansour obviously felt the pressure and couldn't wait to renew his contract with Su Dong.
Only by retaining Su Dong can Manchester City be confident!
