i want to be king

Chapter 371

"Today, Rijkaard asked me if I had the confidence to press Lucio."

In the evening, in the gym of his own villa, while receiving a therapeutic massage from Grant Downing, Su Dong talked about what happened this morning with Nuno Cruz, Vito Scala and other personal trainers.

Messi was also beside him, and he was very curious when he heard Su Dong's words.

"How do you answer?" Nuno Cruz asked with concern.

"I said, I believe I can." Su Dong looked at his personal trainer with determination in his eyes.

Whether he can do it or not, he has to do it!
Nuno Cruz looked at Su Dong, sensed the signal in his eyes, and nodded.

Vito Scala next to him shook his head and sighed, "It's hard, Lucio is too strong."

"How?" Messi asked curiously.

In terms of fame, Lucio's name is actually not particularly famous, not to mention compared with Nesta, Cannavaro, Stam, Maldini and other world-class central defenders in Serie A, even compared with Puyol, Lucio is also much inferior.

But why does it seem that both Scala and Cruise have such high evaluations of Lucio?

Scala glanced at little Messi, smiled slightly and said, "It's hard for you to appreciate Lucio's strength, because if you compete with him, your team is basically finished. I believe Su will have a better understanding."

Messi immediately transferred to Su Dong.

Su Dong nodded, "I'm not as good as him when I fight my body. He is the first person who makes me feel that I can't fight. Even when I faced Stam back then, I never felt so strong."

Of course, he was talking about the present, 20-year-old self.

When he met Stam, the Dutch central defender was actually not at his peak, and at that time Stam had an obvious weakness, that is, his turning speed was slow, and Su Dong's speed and flexibility could just play a role.

But Lucio is different, his body has almost no obvious shortcomings.

In the first round of the contest between the two sides, Su Dong didn't perform well in the first half, basically he was given the upper hand by Lucio, but in the second half, he recovered some ground with one pass and one shot, and it was considered evenly matched.

But Su Dong knew in his heart that if he really wanted to fight tit for tat, he might suffer a disadvantage.

"You are right to worry." Nuno Cruz took the words.

"In terms of physical confrontation, Lucio is definitely one of the strongest players in the world today. Among the central defenders, I can't find a second player who is better than him, including Stam. Since the [-] World Cup, his defense has been improving rapidly. But his biggest problem is that sometimes he is too aggressive and always wants to solve the problem at once."

"Frankly speaking, Su, in terms of pure strength confrontation, you still suffer a bit."

Nuno Cruz's statement is actually similar to Su Dong's own feeling.

Data and personal feelings are not deceiving.

Messi was very surprised when he heard that, in his eyes, Su Dong was already a monster like an iron man, but he was not as good as Lucio?

"Hey, is that Brazilian central defender so strong?" Messi didn't quite believe it.

Scala smiled and reached out to touch Messi's head, but before he could touch it, the Argentine kid avoided him.

Excessive!

It's fine for Su Dong to touch it alone, but the others want to follow suit?
"Boy, Lucio's physical fitness and athletic ability are definitely the top among professional football players. After landing in Europe, his personal defensive ability is also improving rapidly. He is now definitely one of the top central defenders in Europe. The main reason why people don't feel about him is that defense has never been a matter of one person, and he often has a lack of brain."

Scala laughed suddenly, "I'm thinking, besides Su Dong, there are not many forwards in European football who can compete face to face with Lucio."

"Inter Milan's Adriano and Chelsea's Drogba are two. Vieri is old, and Juventus' Ibrahimovic is a weirdo. He is obviously of amazing physical fitness, but he likes to play with his feet. He probably can't play Lucio." Nuno Cruz analyzed with a smile.

Su Dong has fought against Lucio, and his personal experience is very obvious. He believes in Nuno Cruz's judgment.

"What do you think?" Su Dong asked.

"Bayern Munich will definitely continue the tactics of the first round. They will continue to put on a defensive posture. When the time comes, your contest with Lucio will be a contest in a narrow range. You will suffer in this regard."

Su Dong nodded. His advantage is comprehensiveness. His speed, explosive power and flexibility are better than Lucio's. However, if he is trapped in the opponent's defensive formation, it will be difficult for him to bring out his advantages. It is very troublesome for him to get close by Lucio at every turn.

"However, confrontation is not just about physical strength. Skill and awareness also play a decisive role, such as the use of the body and how to quickly seize a favorable position."

"In today's more and more sophisticated football tactics, the higher the level of the game, the more powerful the team is, the less likely it is for you to get the ball in a comfortable environment. If one person can't hold you down, just play two people. No matter how strong a player is, can he stand firm and hold the ball in the double-team of two defensive players?"

Su Dong shook his head.

The position of the center is the most difficult position on the court, and it is also the position with the most intense confrontation and the highest technical requirements.

Many people think that it is easy for a striker to score goals, but as everyone knows, this is a big mistake.

Who can easily hold the ball in the most densely defended area of ​​the opponent and create opportunities for kicking shots?
Su Dong agrees with Nuno Cruz's analysis very much, and if he confronts Lucio head-on, it is definitely asking for trouble.

Confrontation is not only about physical strength, but also wisdom.

"I also think, don't fight against him. My flexibility, balance and body flexibility, as well as speed and explosive power are all better than him. Why should I use my shortcomings to touch his strengths?"

After a pause, Su Dong asked again, "The key is, how can I give full play to my own advantages in the dense defense of Bayern Munich and under the pressure of Lucio?"

"I suggest you, watch Zidane's game video."

"Zidane?" Su Dong was a little stunned.

He is a center forward and Zidane is an attacking midfielder. Can the two be the same?

"Zidane has received professional judo training since he was six years old. He has been training judo and football at the same time for a long time. His body is indeed very strong, but his strength confrontation is not that amazing. However, he is often able to hold the ball under the opponent's pressing and pinching, relying on his body's balance and flexibility, especially the first block, which is simply amazing!"

"Excellent flexibility and lower body strength allow Zidane to be able to hold the ball even if he is half-slanted when his body is not as good as his opponent, and his technical movements are not deformed. This is his strongest point."

When Nuno Cruz said this, Su Dong really remembered something about Zidane.

It is said that their family has a tradition of practicing judo, and there is a professional judo player in the elder brother, so that some people say that Zidane is a judo genius who was delayed by football.

In terms of holding and protecting the ball, Henry's level is also very high, but the two are completely different.

Henry is more agile. He needs space. If it is in a narrow range, Henry's ability to protect the ball will be greatly reduced. On the contrary, Zidane's ability to protect the ball in a narrow range or when the opponent is physically confronted is excellent.

This is why Henry is more used to playing on the wing, while Zidane can survive in the middle.

Of course, Henry's advantage is speed, while Zidane can only pass the ball more.

…………

…………

After bidding farewell to the personal coaching staff, Su Dong returned to the room, took a hot bath, lay on the bed, directly entered the system of the road to the king, went to the store, and looked for Zidane's star ability card.

Due to their position, the stars that Su Dong paid attention to before have always been forwards.

From Batistuta, Romario, Kluivert, Vieri, Klose, to Maradona, Ronaldo and Henry, only Maradona is the midfielder, but Su Dong used his left foot ability, not others.

This made Su Dong never notice Zidane's star ability card.

But now it seems that Zidane's ability to stop, hold and protect the ball in a narrow range and in a static state is excellent. As a center forward, Su Dong is often in the area where the opponent's defense is densest, especially when facing the opponent's strict defense.

Zidane's ability is very important to him.

At least, against Lucio this time, Su Dong needs Zidane's ability very much.

Sure enough, in the star ability card store, Su Dong quickly found the one he wanted among Zidane's many star ability cards.

Don't move like a mountain!

This name is very appropriate to Zidane's ability and characteristics.

After entering the details of the star ability card, Su Dong carefully watched the introduction of the star ability card. After confirming that it was what he wanted, he used the exchange voucher to exchange for a star ability card of Zidane.

"Congratulations on getting the Star Ability Card: Immovable as a Mountain!"

With a prompt from the system, Su Dong felt extremely comfortable as if bathed in warm sunshine.

Before he knew it, he fell into a deep sleep.

He had a strange dream, dreaming that he was like a towering mountain, falling from the sky and pressing heavily on Lucio's head.

Lucio, on the other hand, was bare-chested, showing his astonishing muscles. He was carrying this huge mountain, trying to prevent it from falling down.

But in the end, Su Dong's mountain was still pressed down, directly pressing Lucio at the foot of the mountain.

I don't know how many years this guy has been suppressed, and finally broke through, keeping the old man number one in the world, and the Portuguese madman Mourinho who threatened to poke a big hole in the sky, all the way to defeat demons and monsters, and won the Champions League trophy.

Among the monsters killed by Lucio were Drogba and Ibrahimovic.

When Su Dong woke up the next morning, he felt his head was muddled.

What is this all about?
Lucio and Mourinho are at odds, how could they appear in my dream at the same time?
And what about Drogba and Ibrahimovic?

While washing his face, Su Dong slapped his face vigorously a few times, shaking his head and smiling wryly at himself.

With such a big brain hole, it would be a pity not to write novels!
