i want to be king

Chapter 390 They are the winners!
"Congratulations, Su!"

When Sudong walked towards Gerrard, Liverpool's captain calmed down, squeezed out a little smile, and took the initiative to shake hands and hug Sudong to celebrate his goal and victory in this game.

[-]-[-] away, [-]-[-] at home, Liverpool lost the Champions League semi-finals because of away goals.

This is an extremely painful blow to Liverpool up and down, especially Gerrard.

"Thank you, you performed very well, we almost lost." Su Dong comforted.

And that's true, because Liverpool have been really good.

Gerrard shook his head and smiled wryly. He also knew that the team defended quite well in the two rounds, especially the cage that Benitez specially set up for Su Dong, which almost made Su Dong unable to do anything.

It can be said that in the 180 minutes of the two games, Su Dong did not get an absolute chance in the true sense.

Even the goal just now was an angry shot from the front of the penalty area, which is not a good scoring opportunity.

But it was in this situation that Su Dong insisted on scoring a goal for Barcelona.

"It's good, so we can focus on the league." Gerrard said bitterly.

At present, Liverpool is only ranked fifth. To qualify for the Champions League, they must reach the top four in the league. This is still very difficult, because Everton has also performed very well this season.

The fans blared the iconic Anfield song, You'll Never Walk Alone.

Even though they lost the game, even though they were eliminated, Liverpool fans still stick to the team, stand with all the players and continue to fight side by side.

"What an impressive group of fans!" Su Dong praised enviously.

The home atmosphere of Barcelona's Camp Nou is also excellent, but in terms of fan enthusiasm, Liverpool's Anfield impressed him the most. It can even be said that he has experienced the most fanatical fans at home so far.

He played at Stamford Bridge before, but to be honest, Chelsea's home atmosphere is terrible, and it can't be compared with Liverpool.

Of course, this is also related to the reorganization of Chelsea and Abramovich's aggressive introduction of foreign aid.

The home fans of European teams are still rooted in the surrounding area. Only a team like Liverpool that operates in the surrounding areas of the city all the year round and has a rich football culture can have a good home atmosphere.

……

After shaking hands with Gerrard and exchanging jerseys, Sudong made a point of walking back to meet Benitez and Yesterdam, as he had done a week earlier at Camp Nou.

The difference is that last time Benitez could still laugh, and now he put on a dead face with no expression.

On the contrary, Yesterdan has a very good attitude towards Su Dong, and he is full of praise for his performance. Encourage him to make persistent efforts and try to win another Champions League. Then he will be considered as a top star in the world.

"How can it be so easy?"

Hearing Yesterdan's encouragement, Benitez suddenly poured a bucket of cold water.

"Barcelona's defense, when it comes to the Champions League and meets AC Milan, can it get benefits?"

Su Dong was deeply impressed by Benitez's words.

Another matchup in the semi-finals of the Champions League came out, and AC Milan entered the final.

For AC Milan, Barcelona is actually no stranger, because the two teams only competed once in the Gamper Cup before the season. At that time, Barcelona won a game by chance, but AC Milan caused a lot of trouble for the team.

It was a warm-up match, and it was a warm-up match before the season, so it was too much to count.

Now, both teams have entered the Champions League final, and the next step is definitely to fight.

Benitez's tone was not very good, but he was actually reminding Su Dong.

AC Milan's defensive ability is not inferior to that of Liverpool and Chelsea. You know, this team has the world's top midfielders such as Nesta, Stam, Maldini, Gattuso, etc., and there are Shevchenko, Inzaghi, Seedorf and Pirlo in the frontcourt, and even Kaka who has recently gained fame.

It can be said that Ancelotti's team has no shortcomings in any aspect.

Such a team doesn't need any conspiracy at all, just be aboveboard and open up to fight Barcelona, ​​Barcelona's weak defense can't bear it.

"Ancelotti said after the Gamper Cup in August that if he meets Barcelona again, he will definitely win. Go back and think about it. This guy never talks nonsense. He has seen through your weaknesses in August."

After finishing speaking, Benitez took another deep look at Su Dong, turned and left.

From his eyes, Su Dong saw helplessness and comfort.

Perhaps, this is what Benitez is feeling at the moment, pain and happiness.

"Don't pay attention to him, he just has this character. He obviously has good intentions, but he can't speak well. He offends people all day long."

Yesterdan pointed to Benitez's back and said to Su Dong with a smile.

Su Dong nodded. He actually knew Benitez quite well and knew his character.

"However, Su, to be honest, you really have no chance of winning when you meet AC Milan. You must be careful." Yesterdan reminded earnestly, "Early before, Rafa said that he didn't have much confidence when Liverpool met AC Milan. He could only watch on the spot, but you also know that your presence..."

Involving Rijkaard, Su Dong remained silent.

Barcelona's on-the-spot command is notoriously weak. Whether facing Chelsea or Liverpool, or even against Bayern Munich before, Rijkaard's tactics have never won.

This is very frustrating.

The tactics didn't win, and the defense was full of mistakes and omissions, so the stars in the frontcourt could only keep filling the loopholes.

"The benefits are obvious. Everyone is praising you, but the pressure is also very high. You should pay attention to it."

"Thank you, Paco." Su Dong nodded.

Yesterdan talked to him the most, but it was Benitez who taught him the most.

Sometimes, that's the way things are, good advice hurts.

"Su Dong! Su Dong!! Su Dong!!!"

When Barcelona's charter plane arrived at Barcelona Airport, everyone was taken aback by the enthusiasm of the Barcelona fans waiting at the scene.

The last time Barcelona reached the Champions League final was Cruyff's Dream Team period in [-].

What's interesting is that Barcelona's opponent at the time was AC Milan coached by Capello.

As a result, the Champions League final at the Olympic Stadium in Athens became one of the most humiliating games in Barcelona's history. They were slaughtered [-]-[-] by Capello's team in the Champions League final.

It was also one of the biggest disparities in the history of the Champions League final.

It was that game that made it clear to the whole world that Barcelona's dream team dynasty had completely collapsed!
After that, Barcelona ushered in a decade-long dark period. Even after Van Gaal's brief revival, they failed to regain their strength in the Champions League. Until this season, Barcelona was able to return to the Champions League final.

It's 11!

What a long time for a team like Barcelona!
Barcelona fans are extremely frantic in pursuing the team, especially Su Dong, the number one hero of this season, has become the darling of Barcelona fans, and they chanted his name frantically.

There were thousands of people gathered in the airport, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while.

Reaching the Champions League final again, the opponent turned out to be AC ​​Milan again, which seems to be destined in the dark.

……

Under the arrangement of the club, Su Dong did not stay at the airport, but left as soon as possible with other teammates.

If he stayed at the scene, the scene would definitely be chaotic, and it would be bad.

But even if Barcelona boarded the bus and left the airport, the fanatical fans still chased after them, and more and more fans joined the ranks of followers along the way.

They even chased the team all the way back to the city, back to Camp Nou.

At the Camp Nou, more Barcelona fans gathered.

When they saw the team bus arrive, the atmosphere of the scene was pushed to the highest point.

More and more fans took to the streets, celebrating and cheering wildly, as if the team had already won the Champions League ahead of schedule, and they couldn't wait to celebrate.

Su Dong and the Barcelona players were all sitting in the bus, witnessing what they saw and heard along the way, and seeing the carnival of the Barcelona fans, everyone was filled with pride.

They are victors!
At this moment, they are the heroes of this city, the darlings of this group of fans!

But the fans are also very realistic, they need you to keep scoring goals for them to win games.

If one day in the future, they find that you can't meet their expectations, that you are different from what they thought, then how much they praise you today, they will be more cruel to you in the future.

Su Dong couldn't help but think of what Mendes said to him when he wanted to join Barcelona.

Figo, Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Romario, Maradona... even Guardiola, I believe these people have received the highest courtesy from Barcelona fans, and they were all heroes in the hearts of these fans.

But gradually, without knowing when, they stepped down from the altar.

Su Dong believes that he will have such a day.

This is true not only for Barcelona, ​​but also for almost every giant team in the world.

Therefore, at this moment, facing everything in front of him, he has always maintained calm and restraint.

……

That night, Barcelona, ​​who returned triumphantly from Liverpool, England, received a heroic reception from the fans.

The next morning, the media all over the world were frantically reporting on Barcelona's victory, especially Su Dong's finale, which made the media and fans all over the world full of praise.

After an 11-year absence, Barcelona returned to the Champions League final and met AC Milan, which is full of superstars. This undoubtedly made the media and fans all over the world full of expectations.

After all, the Champions League finals in the past two seasons have not been satisfactory.

Before it was a defensive battle between AC Milan and Juventus, followed by a battle between Porto and Valencia.

Well now, two superstar-studded, beautifully played giants teams meet again in the Champions League final, which undoubtedly makes the media and fans who have been holding back for two years look forward to it even more.

Especially Su Dong, who has shown amazing fighting power for two consecutive seasons, everyone is looking forward to, can he continue his magical performance this season in the Champions League final?
