i want to be king

Chapter 1008 Final, you must work hard!

"Congratulations, Su!"

"Congratulations, you've reached the Champions League final again!"

"Well done, Sue!"

"It's too powerful, you can't accept it!"

After the game, before the Barcelona players left the field, they all walked in front of Su Dong, took the initiative to shake hands and hug him, and congratulated him on leading Manchester City to the Champions League final.

This is not only a manifestation of demeanor, but also a testimony of their friendship. After all, they were teammates who fought side by side on the court back then. Although they play for different teams now, it does not affect their friendship at all.

Especially in the end, both Messi and Iniesta were recognized as Su Dong's junior followers in the Barcelona team back then. Although they are already the world's top superstars and top stars on the Ballon d'Or list, they are still the younger brothers in front of Su Dong.

Not for anything else, but because of the help Su Dong gave them back then, no matter how high their achievements were, they still had to admit it.

"It's amazing, I really reached the Champions League final!" Iniesta smiled and hugged Su Dong.

For Barcelona, ​​the game was lost. For Barcelona player Iniesta, they should feel very sad, but for Iniesta, he is also very happy for Su Dong in his heart, because he knows that this is the result of Su Dong's hard pursuit for two years, and it is also his ultimate goal in coming to Manchester City.

Didn't he come to Manchester City to achieve and even surpass the legend created by Maradona in Naples?

Last season, he led Manchester City to win the Premier League championship and achieved the Triple Crown, which has already tied the legend of Maradona.

This season, he led the team to the Champions League final. If he can lead the team to win the championship, he will surpass Maradona's legend in Naples. If Su Dong's resume in the national team is not blank, his achievements are estimated to surpass Maradona.

You know, even Maradona's son-in-law, Su Dong's substitute Aguero at Manchester City, said in an interview with the media that he had not experienced the shock of Maradona playing football, but he felt that Su Dong was the strongest professional player he had ever seen.

Every era has its own legend, and Su Dong belongs to the legend of the 21st century!
And still alive, an active legend!
……

"Frankly, I'm really conflicted in my mood right now."

Messi said with a wry smile, and Iniesta also showed a contradictory look.

Obviously, both were talking about the same thing, the same person.

Mourinho.

Before, the Barcelona locker room had a lot of opinions on Mourinho. Most people, including captain Puyol and Xavi, thought that Mourinho was too conservative. Coaching a team like Barcelona should play more unrestrained and aggressive, but he is not, especially in some strong dialogues.

For example, in the European Super Cup against Manchester City at the beginning of the season, Mourinho's substitution adjustments in the game were criticized. Even Puyol and Harvey both vaguely accused him of being too conservative in substitutions, which caused the team to lose.

Well now, Mourinho did not change until the end of the game, and his meaning was very obvious. He listened to the players, the management, the Barcelona fans, and the media reporters.

Now that the whole world takes it for granted that Barcelona play attacking football, he listens.

Lost?
Doesn't this confirm Mourinho's previous point of view?
More importantly, Barcelona not only lost, but also lost one to four, and the total score became one to five.

It was an absolute fiasco.

Anyone with a discerning eye can easily see that Barcelona is indeed inferior to Manchester City in terms of overall strength. Whether it is overall tactics, player strength, or team combat capabilities, Manchester City is obviously better.

Don't talk about other things, let's talk about passing the ball and the defense. Manchester City is obviously better than Barcelona.

Even in terms of frontcourt attack power, Manchester City has Su Dong in charge, which is enough to be slightly better than the attacking lineup led by Messi.

Under such circumstances, Barcelona blindly competes with Manchester City in offense. Isn't this a dead end?

So Mourinho's point is that if Barcelona want to win, they should adopt defensive tactics.

He was under tremendous pressure, and in the end he was forced to have no other choice. He simply got angry with everyone, directly dropped the pick, and went straight to the attack. Even if the scene fell behind, he didn't adjust, and went straight to the end.

As a result, it failed miserably.

The contradiction between Messi and Iniesta is here.

Is it Barcelona's problem?Or Mourinho's problem?Or is everyone having problems?

This is actually an unanswered question.

From Su Dong's point of view, from the current Barcelona lineup, it is more appropriate to adopt Mourinho's tactics.

But the problem is that this lineup itself was formed by Mourinho, and all players who did not meet Mourinho's requirements, such as Busquets, Thiago, Bojan and others, all left the team.

So, this is an unclear question.

It's really strange, as Cruyff said, the management chose Mourinho and gave up Guardiola back then, which led to today's results.

If Guardiola had been chosen that year, perhaps the result would have been completely different.

But there are no ifs in this world.

There are actually many, many examples like Barcelona.

Is it to abide by the tradition, to play well, to please the fans, or to achieve results?
In the past few years, isn't it true that the Galaxy Battleship has frequently changed coaches?
What did Florentino take Bosque for?
On the one hand, isn't Bosque not playing well enough, the cards are not big enough, and the results of the game are not hard enough at critical moments?
But on the other hand, in exchange for Queiroz, Luxenberg and others, which one can be good-looking and perform well, and satisfy the superstars?
Calderon appointed Capello, but he was fired after winning the championship in one season. Why?
Isn't it just that you dislike others for playing badly?

But then Schuster, Juande Ramos and others played well?
Giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona are sometimes really hypocritical.

……

"Don't think too much, your troubles have just begun, stop asking for trouble."

Su Dong smiled slightly, stretched out his hand habitually, and touched Messi's head.

That feeling is like when I played for Barcelona.

In today's world football, Su Dong is the only one who dares to touch Messi's head like this.

"Su, to reach the final this time, it is very likely that you will meet Bayern. Don't hold back, leave me a few tickets, and I will definitely go to see it." Messi said bitterly.

Of course, Su Dong is fine, but he is very curious, "You hate Bayern so much?"

"Hehe, in the past few years, we reached three finals and won the Champions League in the last season, what do you think?" Iniesta assisted.

Su Dong looked at the expressions of the two younger brothers, and immediately dared not say any more, and hurriedly agreed.

You know, Barcelona only won one championship in three finals, and the first two were lost to Bayern led by Su Dong.

If they really want to pursue it, their grievances with Su Dong are even deeper. If they continue to entangle, they may lose a few more meals or sign a series of unequal treaties.

What?Do not agree?
No, because Su Dong is getting married.

"Su!" Before leaving the field, Messi stood in front of Su Dong, looking at Su Dong solemnly.

"Finals, we must work hard!"

After speaking, Messi stepped forward and hugged Su Dong.

"Don't worry, I will do my best!"

Iniesta, like Messi, gave Su Dong an encouraging hug.

They are all old friends who have known each other for many years, and they all know Su Dong's character, as long as he says he will do his best, he will definitely do his best.

……

Watching Messi and Iniesta leave, Su Dong suddenly felt something strange.

Professional football is actually cruel.

If it weren't for him, I believe that with the strength of Messi, Iniesta and Barcelona, ​​it is entirely possible to achieve more achievements and achieve higher brilliance in the past few years.

Even, Guardiola may not necessarily leave Barcelona to coach Manchester City, but is more likely to stay in Barcelona's second team to coach. When Mourinho's coaching crisis is over, he will replace Mourinho and coach Barcelona to build his ideal dream team.

But now, everything has changed.

It feels as if everything is not on the original track, and Messi and Iniesta have not achieved achievements comparable to their strength. All of these are the changes brought about by Su Dong.

In the final analysis, it is because professional football is too cruel.

Especially like the Champions League and the Golden Globe Awards, there is only one Champions League winner each year, and there is only one Golden Globe winner each year.

Winner and loser, professional football is actually a winner-takes-all game.

Just like looking at history, all fans will always only remember the champions and winners, but not who the runner-up was.

Even if this runner-up played better, even if this runner-up played more touchingly, even if this runner-up should have won the championship...

"Su, hurry up, come here, we are going to thank the fans."

Just when Su Dong was lost in thought, a cry came from Pepe in the distance, waking him up.

Yeah, and the fans.

There will always be some fans who remember.

It seems that many people will remember Roberto Baggio's back, Beckham's red card, Batty's tears, and Ronaldo's collapse in Serie A...

Maybe professional football is forgetful, but players will use their performance to leave a deep and indelible mark in the memory of countless fans, so that even after many, many years, their memories are still very clear, and they still talk about it every time they talk about it.

If there is a so-called inheritance in football, the link must be the fans.

It's like every great player starts as a fan.

Su Dong's idol is Ronaldo, Cristiano Ronaldo once liked the Panther Eusebio, Messi's idol is Aimar, Iniesta's idol is Laudrup...

Everyone has come this way, passed on from generation to generation.

Now many young players are saying that they have watched Su Dong play since they were young, learned Su Dong's movements, and grew up slowly, and Su Dong is their idol.

This is a kind of inheritance.
