i want to be king

Chapter 453 Others can, but Su Dong can't!

As night fell, people went to the building, and the Gamper Sports City, where the training was over, was empty.

The training building with scaffolding and the football field that is still under construction around it make the entire Gamper Sports City look like an unfinished construction site.

In the gymnasium of the main training building of the first team, there are bright lights.

Looking in from the huge floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall, one can clearly see that Su Dong is training against the equipment.

Around him, Nuno Cruz, Vito Scala and other personal trainers are watching and recording data from time to time.

Grant Downing was preparing in another treatment and recovery room. After Su Dong finished his training, he would come here directly for massage and recovery.

This is already a routine of Su Dong's daily training.

Messi and Iniesta sat leisurely, probably on semi-recliner chairs moved from the players' lounge, watching Su Dong who was sweating profusely from practice, but there were complaints in their mouths.

"Just don't pay attention to those bad-mouthed guys, they are too harsh on you." Messi comforted with complaints.

He felt that if the outside media all blamed Su Dong for demanding, then he would definitely go crazy.

Why?

Because Su Dong didn't score in three games and stopped two games and didn't play, he was directly sprayed.

Although they are not authoritative newspapers, but some tabloids with no bottom line in exchange for sales, they are too harsh.

Just yesterday, Su Dong missed Barcelona's game against Racing Santander again, and this time Barcelona drew [-]-[-] away with Racing Santander. For the away game against AC Milan, Rijkaard even only arranged for three main players to play.

Su Dong is not among them.

So, today, some tabloids began to hype again, saying that Su Dong's lack of self-discipline led to a decline in his status, and that Su Dong was busy with business activities to make money and went to Germany before.

But everyone in Barcelona knows very well that Su Dong went to Germany to shoot a public welfare film for the United Nations. What does it have to do with making money?
In a word, Su Dong has either missed or failed to score for five consecutive games, which is a heinous crime!
"Leo is right, there is no need to get angry with those guys." Iniesta also persuaded.

Su Dong was still training out of breath, but he heard what the two friends said, but he didn't have time to respond.

Nuno Cruz looked at Su Dong, then at Messi and Iniesta, and only felt it was funny in his heart. These two little guys are too innocent, or they care too much about Su Dong.

Concern is chaos.

What will Su Dongzhen say in the media?
If he cared, how could he behave like this?

What Su Dong really cared about was his own performance. He could feel that he was in a bottleneck stage. He tried hard to break through, to pierce the window paper, because he knew that it would be a brand new and wider world.

But before the window paper is pierced, it is often the most suffocating.

This is the problem Su Dong is facing now.

But these two little guys are also kind, otherwise, the whole Barcelona team would have left on time after the training, and they were the only ones staying, training with Su Dong, babbling and talking non-stop.

Thinking of this, Nuno Cruz looked at Su Dong again, and couldn't help but speak.

"Actually, both of them are right, but you don't need to blame the media."

"Why?" Messi wondered.

The requirements are so harsh, and they are so prejudiced, why can't they be blamed?
"It's very simple, because he is Su Dong!"

Messi and Iniesta looked at each other, both chewing on Nuno Cruz's words.

"If Su Dong was just an ordinary player, the media probably wouldn't make things difficult for him. If he was just the main player of Barcelona's first team, the media's requirements might be higher, but he is only 21 years old, and he is probably the same as Aspen treated Robinho. Maybe he will praise him severely."

"But he is Su Dong. He has won the double Player of the Year award for two consecutive years. Everyone's requirements and expectations for him are naturally different from ordinary people. He is higher and more demanding than others. It doesn't matter if others don't score for a few rounds, but Su Dong can't."

"Others can be injured and miss key games, but Su Dong can't!"

"Others can play and lose, but neither can Su Dong!"

"But did you find out? They didn't set such high and harsh demands on Su Dong from the beginning, but gradually increased the demands little by little, because Su Dong's performance became better and better, and the original standard no longer suits him. People will put forward higher expectations and demands on him on the basis of the original."

When Nuno Cruz said this, he asked himself, and couldn't help feeling that Su Dong was really too difficult.

But this is not the most difficult time.

"I can imagine that if you break the record this time, they will ask you to break your own record later. When you don't win the championship, you can't get the golden boot, you are eliminated from the Champions League, and even in the future you really enter the national team, but you can't lead the Chinese team to the World Cup, it will become the focus of their criticism."

"To put it simply, their demands on you will become higher and higher, so high that all other professional players can hardly imagine. This is human nature! You can see it as pressure, but it can also be regarded as motivation, because you are Su Dong! You have to bear such accusations in this position."

"Throughout the ages, almost all superstars have been like this, especially in the age of media and the Internet. The only difference is that some people overcome it and turn it into motivation, while some people can't bear the pressure and collapse."

Both Messi and Iniesta were speechless. Is this still human?

Will be blamed for being eliminated from the Champions League?

Who can win the Champions League every season?

Should the Chinese team be blamed for failing to enter the World Cup?

That would make even God cry!

But on second thought, Nuno Cruz was right.

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.

This is the case with Su Dong now.

Many media and fans treat Su Dong with a higher standard than others.

"According to what you mean, Su Dong will always be like this, fighting against this pressure?" Iniesta asked with concern.

Nuno Cruz also looked at Su Dong sympathetically, and sighed, "What else? Give up? Competitive sports are like this, fighting all the time, the only difference is that the opponents are different."

This is why people always say that when professional players reach the top, they are no longer fighting for talent, but for mental strength.

After the World Cup in [-], Beckham's red card made him criticized by everyone. How terrible was the situation he faced at that time?
But the result?

He survived and became a heartthrob in world football!

Continuous serious injuries put Ronaldo under pressure that ordinary people would never imagine, but he also survived, so he won the third World Footballer of the Year.

Was Zidane under pressure?

No, in the first half of the year when he transferred from Juventus to Real Madrid, he led the aura of the world's first sky-high price, but his performance was not satisfactory. How much pressure was there on him at that time?How violent was the accusation he faced?
After he survived, he had that kick of the [-] Champions League final.

You can't see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain!
What Nuno Cruz wants to express is such a simple truth.

When Nuno Cruz finished speaking and Messi and Iniesta were still rejecting these words, Su Dong had finished his training mission, took the towel from Vito Scala panting, wiped his sweat vigorously, and at the same time looked at the personal trainer and his two buddies, Su Dong couldn't help but shook his head.

"You guys are so noisy!"

After speaking, he got up and left.

Are we noisy?
Messi and Iniesta were aggrieved immediately.

The two looked at each other, and went straight to catch up to reason with him.

I was struck by lightning out of kindness, we stayed with you because we cared about you, and you still said we were quarreling?

Excessive!Too much!
"It doesn't matter, if you don't treat guests to dinner, I won't forgive you!"

"Yes, yes, please have a big meal."

Two shameless little guys chased after him.

"Su Dong must pay attention!"

In the head coach's office at the AC Milan training base, Ancelotti was not as relaxed as the outside world imagined.

Su Dong's scoring shortage, he was more worried than anyone else.

"In a situation like his, it will either continue to slump, but once the opportunity is seized, it will immediately usher in an explosion. The energy accumulated in the past period of time will completely explode, and it cannot be suppressed."

Ancelotti and Tassotti, who are professional players, know the situation of professional players better than anyone else.

That kind of feeling is like a bachelor who has been solo since his mother's womb, and finally got a girlfriend after years of hunger and thirst, so why not sing and sing every night?

The burst of energy is absolutely beyond anyone's imagination.

"Stam kicked Ronaldinho on the right, and the effect in the first round was good, continue to play like this?" Tassotti asked.

Ancelotti nodded, "Nesta still has to go, let Maldini guard Messi on the left."

"What about Costacurta?" Tassotti asked with concern.

The veteran made a serious mistake in the first round. If Dida hadn't played bravely, the goal would have been broken by Su Dong, and Su Dong's scoring shortage would not have come to this point.

"Let's go to Karadze, it's safer." Ancelotti was a little embarrassed.

In fact, he is not sure whether the combination of Karazze and Nesta can freeze Su Dong, because the two of them did not do very well in the first round, but there is no way, he has only so many people on hand now.

Judging from the performance of the first round, it was indeed difficult for AC Milan's defense to defend Su Dong, and was broken through several times, but Dida performed very bravely, and it can even be said that he performed super-level.

Judging from the performance of the first round alone, it is not an exaggeration to say that Dida is at the top level in the world.

It's just that no one knows whether he can maintain the level of the first round in the second round?
Ancelotti has confidence in his own abilities and has enough understanding of Rijkaard's coaching characteristics. He is confident that he can suppress Barcelona at the overall technical and tactical level, at least not to fall behind. The key is the impromptu performance of the players of the two teams.

The biggest unstable factor is Su Dong, who is in a scoring drought.

He is the biggest suspense in this game!
