Chapter 410 Am I Cruel?
Barcelona's opponent in the first warm-up match was Denmark's East Jutland team.

In the first half, Rijkaard played with a semi-main lineup. Except for Ronaldinho who participated in the Confederations Cup, other players basically returned to the team, including Messi who participated in the World Youth Championship.

Goalkeeper Valdes, defense line Van Bronckhorst, Edmilson, Puyol and Belletti, midfielder is the new aid Van Bommel, Deco and Harvey are in the middle, the frontcourt trident, Iniesta replaced Ronaldinho, Su Dong and Giuly occupy the center and right respectively.

Due to the lack of battle for a long time, the players are seriously not in the best condition, which led to their poor performance after the opening.

Van Bommel played the most active, frequently plugged in to participate in the offense, showing his offensive and defensive side.

In fact, the Dutch midfielder is not just a midfield defender. Many people position him as Harvey.

Barcelona broke the deadlock in the 20th minute. Iniesta sent a wonderful pass and assisted Su Dong to score.

Just 7 minutes later, it was Van Bommel who dribbled the ball and inserted it, and passed it directly to the goal. Su Dong easily pushed and scored.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Rijkaard changed nine players in one breath.

Perhaps affected by Van Bommel's outstanding performance in the first half, Marcos Senna was also very active after he came on in the second half. He not only contributed a lot on the defensive end, but also No. 701 minutes, he suddenly inserted a cold shot, which was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper.

Larsson also scored a goal later.

In the end, Barcelona won the first warm-up match [-]-[-].

……

The first game was successful, but after Barcelona started pre-season training, unfavorable news came again.

The first is that Esguero, another player introduced by free transfer this season, has been out with a right leg injury for at least a month.

This is undoubtedly quite unfavorable for a player who has just joined.

The 28-year-old Spanish native player can play as a striker and two wingers. He is very fast. He debuted in Osasuna. During his time at Athletic Bilbao, his attendance rate was very high. Barcelona introduced him as a substitute player.

It's just that he didn't expect that he was injured almost every season in the Basque Lions, and he was injured as soon as he came to Barcelona.

This is actually a state of mind.

From a psychological point of view, after players join the giants, they will face greater competitive pressure, players will work harder in games and training, and the probability of injury will be greater.

In addition to Esquero, Mota is also an unlucky guy.

This midfielder, who is highly expected by Barcelona, ​​has not started this season after missing most of the games last season. He had to undergo surgical resection because of a sarcoma on his left thumb. He is expected to be absent for about a month. Whether he can catch up with the new season is still unknown.

…………

…………

Two days later, Barcelona ushered in Denmark's second warm-up match against Halrus.

Su Dong didn't play in this game, but Barcelona still defeated their opponents [-]-[-].

After playing two warm-up games, Barcelona also left the Danish training ground and set off for Asia.

This is the second consecutive year that Barcelona has come to Asia, and the first stop this time is Yokohama, Japan.

As the first player in Asia to win the World Footballer of the Year and the European Ballon d'Or, Su Dong was warmly welcomed by Japanese fans. From the airport to the hotel, from the training ground to the competition, Su Dong has always been the focus of Japanese fans and the media.

Rijkaard is still trying different lineup configurations of the team to develop a mature and stable style of play, so the lineup is still changing in the warm-up match against the Yokohama Mariners.

Due to contract reasons, Sudong started for an hour and scored twice in the first half.

Harvey then scored to end the first half [-]-[-].

After changing sides in the second half, Barcelona controlled the game but failed to score again. On the contrary, Yokohama Mariners pulled back a game in No. 707 minutes. In the end, Barcelona defeated Japan's Yokohama Mariners [-]-[-] and won the three-game winning streak in the warm-up match.

Although he only played for 10 minutes, Su Dong's performance was still highly praised by the Japanese media.

Japan's Asahi Shimbun commented on Su Dong, saying that he is the most popular Chinese in Japan, which has aroused the enthusiasm of countless fans.

"When passing through customs at the airport, many staff members even rushed to stamp him. He is the most ideal lover in the minds of countless Japanese women, and he is also the most popular superstar among Japanese fans."

According to the Asahi Shimbun, recently, Real Madrid and Manchester United have also come to Japan successively, but their reactions are different. For example, the most famous player of Real Madrid is David Beckham.

"People love David Beckham because he's good-looking. Fans love him like a Hollywood star."

"But Su Dong is different. On the day he landed in Japan, the first reaction of all of us was that the best player in the world has finally come to our country!"

"All fans who really like football like Su Dong even more, because he is a veritable superstar who speaks through football."

"At the same time, he is also the first Asian World Footballer and Golden Globe winner!"

"He is the pride of our Asians!"

It can be said that Su Dong's coming to Japan was the most sensational thing in itself. As for scoring twice in the game, it did not attract much attention, and everyone took it for granted.

……

After playing the Yokohama Mariners in Japan, Barcelona rushed to Macau, China without stopping.

After a short rest, the fourth warm-up match was ushered in. The opponent was the Pengcheng team, the champion of the top domestic league.

Su Dong did not start this game, but sat on the bench.

In the first half, Barcelona played a wave of fierce offensive. Iniesta, Larsson and Giuly scored successively.

In the second half, Su Dong came off the bench and Barcelona replaced eleven players on the field.

Su Dong received a pass from Deco in less than a minute, dribbled the ball into the left rib of the penalty area, and scored a goal for Barcelona.

After that, Barcelona launched a wave of offensive.

First, Messi assisted Deco to score a goal, and then Su Dong dribbled the ball into the penalty area after successfully stealing from the right edge of the penalty area in 7 minutes, calmly volleyed and scored twice, [-]-[-]!

Only 6 minutes later, Su Dong pulled to the right and sent a cross. Messi volleyed with his left foot in the middle of the penalty area and broke the goal of Pengcheng team, extending the score to [-]-[-].

Three minutes later, Sudong took the ball with his back and stopped the ball to Van Bronckhorst. The Dutch left back shot and scored, 3-[-]!

Then the game entered the time of Barcelona's mad attack again.

In the closing stage, Deco assisted twice in a row, first assisting Messi to score, and then assisting Su Dong to score, staged a hat-trick and locked the score at [-]-[-]!
Throughout the game, Barcelona suppressed the team very embarrassingly, without giving the opponent any chance to react.

The Pengcheng team didn't even have a single shot on goal. There were only two shots in the audience, and they didn't even pose a threat.

Anyone can see that this is a complete defeat!

……

Su Dong was not happy with the ten-goal victory in the warm-up match.

In an interview with the domestic media after the game, Su Dong said that the whole Barcelona team took this game very seriously and tried their best, but Barcelona is still in the preparation stage, the state has not adjusted, and the performance is not very good.

The domestic media were all stunned. Barcelona, ​​who is not in a good state, can kill the Pengcheng team with ten goals?

What if the state is good?

When Su Dong heard this question from the media reporter, he couldn't help laughing, "There is no way to compare football games like this."

It was also during this interview that Su Dong figured out one thing, that is, who was the Chinese player Li Dadi who appeared when he chose the star ability card to protect the ball.

It was Li Yi and Li Dadi of the Pengcheng team.

The reason why he was ridiculed was because he said something before. He felt that his ball protection was like Su Dong. Netizens made fun of him with words, so they nicknamed him Li Dadi.

Su Dong also laughed dumbfounded after hearing this, saying that he didn't know.

But after the media interview, Li Yi took the initiative to find Su Dong. When taking a photo with Su Dong, he also explained that what he said at the time was not that his ball protection was like Su Dong, but that he wanted to say that Su Dong has many things that other professional players can learn from, such as his ball protection.

"What I mean is that any skill you have is enough for other professional players, especially domestic professional players, to use for a lifetime. It is worth learning!"

Su Dong expressed his understanding. After all, the media all over the world like to take things out of context, and he didn't take it to heart.

……

After the game, Su Dong attended a business event of the sponsor.

During the event, the media once again provoked Su Dong to slaughter domestic teams with ten goals. Isn't that too cruel?

As a Chinese, but on behalf of European teams, is it appropriate to abuse domestic club teams with ten goals?

Su Dong was in a good mood at first, but after hearing this question, he immediately became angry and immediately accused the media reporters of deliberately grandstanding and creating conflicts.

"If my team is defeated by such an embarrassing score, my first reaction is not to blame the opponent for not being merciful, but to reflect on what I did not do well, what I did not do enough, and turn the shame into a driving force for progress."

"Do you think I'm cruel? Do you know why I came off the bench in the second half? If I was there in the first half and Ronaldinho created so many chances, do you think Barcelona would only score ten goals?"

"Don't use your ignorance and shamelessness to blackmail others! Chinese football is today, and many media like you are also to blame!"

After speaking, Su Dong left angrily, regardless of the organizer's persuasion.

After Su Dong left, the difficult media reporter was immediately expelled from the activity site.

That night, Barcelona left Macau and returned to Spain, but the news quickly spread, and domestic public opinion was once again in an uproar.

The champion team of the top domestic league is kicked like this by Barcelona, ​​and the opponent has obviously left a lot of affection at their feet, what else do you want?

The media reporter's making things difficult aroused the bombardment of the media colleagues and fans, and Su Dong's remarks also won the support of the fans and netizens.
