The Times used this headline as its front page the next day. The accompanying cover photo showed the back of Su Dong at the moment when he soared sideways and volleyed. In the background were the stunned defenders and the stunned Arsenal goalkeeper.
.
In its report, this authoritative British media gave Su Dong a very high evaluation, believing that his goal can almost be judged as the most exciting goal in the Premier League so far this season.
Whether it was Mertesacker's on-the-spot reaction after Mertesacker's header to clear the ball, or the subsequent challenge, or turning around and rising into the air to volley sideways, a series of actions reflected Su Dong's amazing comprehensive strength.
"None of the three Arsenal defenders around him could stop him in time. No one expected that he could complete such a goal that can be called a work of art."
The Times believes that Su Dong's two goals helped Manchester City win their 14th consecutive Premier League victory this season, and also tied Arsenal's record for the longest winning streak in the Premier League. This is a great development for Manchester City.
I would say it was a game worth remembering.
In such a game, scoring such a goal, whether it is against Sudong or Manchester City, has special significance, and these three points basically mean that Manchester City has basically won the half-time championship.
In the bag.
"In the next few games, apart from visiting Stamford Bridge and facing Chelsea, Manchester City will basically not encounter many challenges. With early qualification for the Champions League, it is likely that no team will be able to attack Manchester City in December."
"This team may even win the half-way championship of the Premier League with a complete victory record. This is an incredible achievement!"
The Times also reviewed Manchester City's results this season and believed that the team's outstanding performance this season was due to the club's continuous investment and the accumulation of a strong lineup, and the team's strength has become even better.
On the other hand, Guardiola's passing and controlling tactical system is getting better.
"Another reason that cannot be ignored is Su Dong."
"At the age of 27, he has ushered in the golden period of his career. He still maintains a high level of performance and has become a nightmare for all teams in the Premier League and even European football. At the same time, he is also the pillar of the Manchester City dressing room."
The Times believes that if Su Dong was just a superstar in Valencia, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich before and only played a role on the court, then after coming to Manchester City, Su Dong became a star of the Manchester City field.
A superstar who is equally important on and off the court.
From Soriano to Begiristain, to head coach Guardiola, as well as other members of the coaching staff, and even the Manchester City players in the locker room, almost everyone often mentioned Su Dong's words when being interviewed by the media.
effect.
Even Given, who had a hard time playing in the game, and Bridge, Wright-Phillips and others who left the team, all had only praise for Su Dong without any complaints. They all had a common point of view, that is,
Manchester City without Su Dong would be a huge disaster.
The Times said that Su Dong now not only scores goals on the court, but also leads the Manchester City locker room.
"He is not only the leading scorer in world football, but also a great leader."
British media also mentioned that when Su Dong joined Manchester City, he once mentioned that he hoped to lead the team to win the league championship and achieve success like Maradona did when he was in Naples.
In just one year, Su Dong fulfilled his promise and Manchester City won the Premier League championship.
Not only that, Manchester City's outstanding performance in the Champions League this season, especially in the group of death, has made everyone clearly aware that Manchester City already has the strength to compete with Europe's top teams.
In the European Super Cup, Manchester City defeated Barcelona in a way that was even better than Barcelona. Looking at the world of football, who can do it?
The Times said that Su Dong creates surprises and surprises all the time. He can always lead the team to victory at critical moments. He is like a god on the football field, omnipotent.

Sky Sports also gave Su Dong a very high rating. Among the ratings, Su Dong scored the highest score in the game with nine points, one point more than the heroic goalkeeper Courtois.
Statistically speaking, Sudong took seven shots, five of which were on target, and scored two goals. One shot caused goalkeeper Szczesny to miss the ball and was picked up by David Silva.
So, strictly speaking, all three goals were created by Su Dong.
Sky Sports published a post-match interview with Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny.
The Gunners goalkeeper said that he took the shot because there was nothing he could do.
Su Dong's shot was so fast, the speed and force of the ball were so amazing that he couldn't even control the ball when he made the save.
"I don't know how to describe that feeling. When he shook Koscielny away, I knew he was going to hit the goal. But when he shot, I realized that the ball came too fast.
Can't control it."
Szczesny said that Su Dong was definitely the most terrifying shooter he had ever encountered.
"The three goals are all very exciting, using three different methods, but they appear on the same person in the same game. I don't know who else can do it except Su Dong?"
The two sides had played a game in the League Cup before. Su Dong's lightning goal at that time made Szczesny even more painful. He said that he was mentally prepared and even studied Su Dong with the coaching staff.
But the result is still unstoppable.
This is the most despairing thing.
"I even think that the only thing left to stop him from scoring is time!"
The implication is that humans can no longer stop Su Dong.
Sky Sports also gave Su Dong the same rating of nine points, describing it as perfect.
In fact, in addition to Su Dong's huge contribution in shooting, he also sent three threatening passes and successfully passed people four times. These are enough to prove how effective he is on the court. On the defensive end, he had nine successes.
A steal, plus a clearance.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sky Sports believes that from the data point of view, Su Dong is not only a scorer, but also the first line of defense in Manchester City's frontcourt.
"He is an almost perfect interpretation of the football philosophy advocated by Guardiola, where defense starts from the center."
Sky Sports even concluded that the schedule is not even halfway through, but Su Dong has almost booked the best player of the season in advance.
"At least so far this season, looking at the entire Premier League, no one can compete with Su Dong."
In his second season after joining the Premier League, if he wins the Player of the Season award again, Su Dong will dominate the Premier League for two consecutive seasons. This will also make Su Dong the second player after best friend Cristiano Ronaldo and French superstar Henry.
A superstar who has won the Premier League Player of the Season consecutively.
Sky Sports is the live broadcast provider of the Premier League and has always been relatively rigorous, but this time it has only played fourteen rounds and it has built momentum for Su Dong in advance. This undoubtedly shows how strong Su Dong is in the Premier League.
Even more dominant than Henry and Cristiano Ronaldo back then.

Manchester City's 3-0 victory over the Gunners at home undoubtedly shocked the Premier League and European football.
Blue Moon's performance this season can be described as rock solid. Whether it is the domestic league and cup competitions or the Champions League, they have played very steadily and have superior strength.
Even after qualifying two rounds in advance, playing with pure substitutes and a rotating lineup, they were still able to draw with Dortmund. You can imagine how strong Manchester City's overall strength is.
Stars like Aguero and Dzeko can only play as substitutes in Manchester City, something even Real Madrid and Barcelona cannot do.
Manchester City's strength has also made them the number one favorite to win the Premier League.
Even the odds of Manchester City, the Champions League champion, are constantly rising, and there are faint signs of becoming the favorites.
…
Manchester City defeated Arsenal 3-0, and other strong teams also basically performed well.
Manchester United defeated Queens Park Rangers 2-0 away, Liverpool defeated Aston Villa 2-0 away, and Tottenham Hotspur defeated Sunderland 1-0 at home.
Among the traditional strong teams, Chelsea was held to a 1-1 away draw by Wigan Athletic, and Villas-Boas's coaching position was threatened.
This is also another round of crisis encountered by the Portuguese coach.
Facts have proved that Boas did not have enough prestige to carry out earth-shaking reforms at Chelsea, and Chelsea's management did not support him enough. They even began to worry about gains and losses, so that when the team's performance was affected, Boas
Si's leadership position was shaken.
Drogba, Lampard and Terry, the three locker room bosses are extremely dissatisfied with Villas-Boas, and even other players have many complaints against him. This has led to Villas-Boas's situation at Chelsea becoming increasingly embarrassing.
.
In the next fifteenth round, Chelsea will face Manchester City, which is seen as Villas-Boas's last chance to save himself.
If he fails to defeat Manchester City at home, Villas-Boas is likely to face the tragic fate of being dismissed.
This will be a painful lesson for Villas-Boas, who was high-spirited when he joined the team at the beginning of the season and threatened to reform Chelsea and create a young and competitive new Blues team.
There was another draw that also attracted attention, that was Newcastle's zero-0 draw with Swansea.
Facts have once again proved that the Magpies' performance has declined as the season progresses. After drawing with Manchester United in the away game, Newcastle drew with Swansea again, ushering in two consecutive draws. The probability of retaining the top four in the league is constantly decreasing.
This also makes the teams such as Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal that are chasing Newcastle even more urgent. Everyone hopes to step on Newcastle's corpse and break into the top four in the league.
Qualifying for the Champions League is a dream for any team.
This is not only to retain this group of stars in the team and allow them to participate in the highest level of professional league competitions, but also to preserve the income of tens of millions of euros.
If converted into RMB, it would be at least one to two hundred million.
In China, which company would not be crazy about this bonus?
Therefore, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are all working hard and are ready to fight to the death at any time.
