The day after the game, the British Guardian published a photo of Su Dong on its front page with such a title, once again putting him in the limelight.
Five assists in a single game has never happened before in the history of the Premier League. Su Dong is the first.
Before the game against Aston Villa, the most assists in a single game in the history of the Premier League was four, and more than one person had achieved it. Interestingly, there were three players in total who had assisted four times in a single game, all from Assen.
Na.
Bergkamp contributed four assists against Leicester City in 1999; Spanish winger Reyes also accomplished this feat against Middlesbrough in 2006; finally
It was Cesc Fabregas in 2009. He also provided four assists against Blackburn, becoming the third player in history to achieve this goal.
In the past ten years, Arsenal players have monopolized this list, and no one has been able to achieve, let alone break through, this achievement, which has also made Arsenal fans talk about it.
Before Manchester City, the Gunners were recognized as synonymous with technical football in the Premier League. Wenger's team has always been at the forefront of Premier League technology, playing the most beautiful football and frequently staged massacres. This makes the Gunners players in this list
Go alone and seek defeat alone.
But this time, Manchester City finally succeeded in overthrowing Arsenal and once again captured one of the Gunners' positions.
Su Dong's five assists in a single game completely shattered Arsenal's achievements in the past ten years and became the first person in the history of the Premier League. It also helped Manchester City defeat Aston Villa 5-0 and win the title again.
Scored three points.
In the report, the Guardian reviewed the historical data of the Premier League in the past two decades and believed that Su Dong's ability to break this record is enough to prove his super personal ability. Even in the tyrannical Premier League, he is outstanding and unique.
The existence of files.
"In fact, Su Dong did not give his best in the game against Aston Villa. He needs to save some energy to prepare for the FA Cup game against Chelsea."
"But even so, David Dunn and Collins couldn't stop him at all, allowing him to contribute five assists, setting a new record in Premier League history. This makes us even more amazed at Su Dong's achievements.
."
The Guardian believes that since Su Dong joined Manchester City, he has led the team to rapid progress for two consecutive seasons. He has also scored a lot of goals on the court and has a lot of assists. However, like when he played against Aston Villa, he did not score.
It is still very rare to catch the ball but go all out to create scoring opportunities for teammates.
"Of course, Su Dong has not given assists to his teammates in the past, but many times, Su Dong's wonderful passes will be wasted by his teammates, whether it is Di Maria, Sanchez, Hazard or Douglas Costa
None of the other players have the ability to seize opportunities."
"Even Aguero and Dzeko, since they don't have many opportunities to partner with Su Dong, are not particularly efficient in scoring goals. This makes Su Dong prefer to score by himself, so he scores a lot of goals and assists.
It’s relatively average.”
But no matter how average it is, more than a dozen assists in a season are at the top level of the Premier League. Who can ignore it?
Needless to say, there is no need to say much about his scoring ability. His assists are so sharp. This has won Su Dong a lot of praise from the Guardian. In addition to the headlines on the front page, they even dedicated a full page to focus on Su Dong.
This season, as well as this performance against Aston Villa, there are also columns from many famous English players.
Liverpool legend Alan Hansen said in a column that Su Dong is the most perfect center he has ever seen. He is also the most comprehensive and powerful center in the history of world football, and he is also an amazing goal master.
.
"I have talked to many players who have defended him, and they all believe that Su Dong is the most terrifying opponent in the world because he is always concentrating, always analyzing his opponent, and then using his own advantages to suppress his opponent.
If defensive players want to stop him, they must ensure that they have no weaknesses, but it is not easy."
Even central defenders such as Ferdinand, Vidic and Terry at their peak would have many weaknesses exposed when defending Sudong, so many people felt that only Stam at his peak could barely defend.
Su Dong.
Why peak period?
Because Sudong defeated Lazio and Stam during the AC Milan period, and the Dutch central defender is recognized as the peak at Manchester United.
Alan Hansen believes that there is another very scary thing about Su Dong, and that is his shooting skills.
"This is something that is easily overlooked by people, but I have talked to many Premier League goalkeepers including Edwin van der Sar and Petr Cech, and they all told me that one thing that particularly impressed them was Sudong.
Every shot they take will make them nervous, because every shot goes towards a blind corner.”
Alan Hansen said with hindsight that he started to pay attention to this young player when Su Dong played for Portugal Super League, and then watched him grow up. This is why many people questioned Su Dong's inability to adapt to the Premier League. Alan Hansen
Hansen said in his column that Su Dong will be even stronger in the Premier League.
Facts have proved that after Su Dong came to the Premier League, he reached the peak of his career, whether on the court or in the locker room. Even the statistics on the court seemed to be on a trend of setting new highs.
Alan Hansen revealed that Su Dong is Manchester City's core fighting force, and the most frightening thing is that his attendance rate is very high, which keeps Manchester City in a very stable output state.
"In the past two seasons, Premier League teams have been making fun of Guardiola's on-the-spot command, thinking that even a dog on a leash can win games in the Manchester City coaching bench. Why?"
"When Su Dong is on the court, Manchester City will definitely be able to score goals. When Su Dong is on the bench, if the team cannot score goals, then replace Su Dong and score goals."
"What? Excluding Su Dong from the squad? You deserve to lose!"
Alan Hansen believes that this also reflects the fans' recognition and evaluation of Su Dong's role.
Regarding Manchester United, Alan Hansen believes that it is impossible for Manchester United to compete with Manchester City this season. The Premier League championship basically belongs to Manchester City. This is not controversial.
Even the League Cup basically fell to Manchester City. The real suspense is the Champions League and FA Cup.
"From the current point of view, Su Dong is in good condition and is doing his best to help Manchester City win the Champions League and FA Cup. He will play a more important role, and Su Dong will also become the first player in history in the Portuguese Super League, La Liga, Bundesliga and
Players who have won triple crowns in the Premier League, especially the Champions League with Manchester City, will bring Su Dong's career achievements to a whole new level."
Alan Hansen believes that purely from the perspective of club achievements, Su Dong has surpassed Maradona during the Naples period. His shortcoming is the national team competition. However, if Su Dong can lead Manchester City to participate in the Champions League for the first time in history, he will win.
If he wins the Champions League and becomes another classic dark horse in the history of European football, Su Dong's achievements will be even higher.
"At least, among the people I know, basically everyone believes that the biggest gap between him and Pele and Maradona is not football, but time."
The implication is that it is difficult to compare current players with retired players.
But after a player retires, his achievements will be more recognized.

Su Dong's assist five goals aroused heated discussion in the media. Alan Hansen's column was also reprinted by many newspapers and attracted widespread attention from fans. But what is interesting is that after Alan Hansen concluded that Manchester United can no longer
When competing with Manchester City for the Premier League title, Ferguson's team defeated Alan Hansen's loyal Liverpool 2-1 at home.
Ferguson countered sarcastically after the game: "What Manchester United believes in is tenacity and bloodshed. We will not give up halfway and will fight until the last minute. As for those who can only speak out in newspapers, I usually don't
To pay attention.”
But Ferguson cannot deny that Manchester United is indeed destined to be empty-handed in England this season. The only chance is the Europa League. This is also what Alan Hansen suggested. He believes that Manchester United should not compete with Manchester City in the Premier League, but should focus on winning
Play in the Europa League.
Ferguson also admitted after the game that a team like Manchester United must win it every season or show strong competitiveness for a certain championship in order to maintain the morale within the team and the fighting spirit of the players.
.
Manchester United has suffered setbacks on all fronts this season. Now they are ranked third in the Champions League group stage and competing in the Europa League. It may be embarrassing to say it, but at least it is a European-level championship trophy.
The Europa League will ignite the war in midweek. Alan Hansen originally hid a selfish intention in his column, hoping that Manchester United would save some energy for the game against Liverpool and focus on the Europa League away game against Ajax.
But who would have thought that Manchester United would not hold back at all and directly fight with Liverpool.
There is no way, Manchester United is playing at home.
Ferguson said he believed the team could remain competitive in both the Premier League and Europa League.
…
After Liverpool lost, Chelsea also lost this round.
Lost to Everton 2-0 away from home.
Since Arsenal defeated Sunderland 2-1 in an away game and Tottenham Hotspur also defeated Newcastle, the top four in the Premier League are now Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, and Chelsea.
Dropped to fifth, followed by Newcastle and Liverpool.
There is only one point between the Magpies and Chelsea. If Chelsea does not adjust to their form, they may not even be able to keep fifth place.
Of course, Arsenal's situation is equally embarrassing and they may fall out of the top four at any time.
As for Liverpool, they are currently three points behind Newcastle and there is still some hope of catching up. The biggest problem is that Dalglish's team's offense is really problematic.
With the championship losing suspense early on, more and more media and fans have begun to pay attention to the battle for the top four, especially fourth place.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle and Liverpool, these four teams are all determined to win fourth place, and they are bound to cause a bloody storm.
