Chapter 655 Ferguson's Surprise
On the afternoon of April 20th, in the eighth round of the No.[-] Bundesliga, Bayern challenged Bielefeld away.

At the very beginning of the game, Bayern, who played away, turned their backs and launched a fierce attack on Bielefeld.

In less than a minute, Bayern's first attack, Schweinsteiger suddenly stepped in with a long shot, and Bielefeld goalkeeper Erhoff made a save. Although the ball was saved, Su Dong followed up and missed, but he was powerless.

One to zero, Su Dong opened the scoring for Bayern and won a fantastic away start.

After taking the lead, Bayern firmly controlled the situation on the field, but played more patiently.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Bayern quickly organized another wave of offensive.

No.603 minutes, Franck Ribery made a direct pass, and Su Dong shot near the penalty spot, making another victory for Bayern.

Two to zero!
Then Bayern launched a continuous offensive. Players such as Lucio, Su Dong and Robben also frequently threatened Bielefeld's goal, but they always followed the goal.

In the end, Bayern defeated Bielefeld [-]-[-] with Su Dong's brace and scored three points again.

…………

…………

A week later, in the ninth round of No.20 in the Bundesliga, Bayern played at home against Schalke Zero Four.

Due to the Champions League in the middle of the week, Bayern has carried out a proper rotation in this game. Players such as Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller have all won the starting lineup, and players such as Ribery and Modric are recharging their energy and preparing for the game against Manchester United.

At the Allianz Arena, Bayern, who played at home, took the lead in the opening game.

In the 6th minute, Su Dong actively pressed in the frontcourt. After successfully breaking the ball from the Schalke Zero Four defender, he broke into the penalty area and passed back in an inverted triangle.

But Schalke 2 was not to be outdone. In just [-] minutes, they seized the weakness of Bayern's defense. The young player Budstuber made a mistake in defense. The opponent seized the opportunity and pulled back a goal, one to one.

Neither team held anything back.

No.13 minutes, after Robben dribbled the ball in from the right, he was tripped by the opposing defender on the right side of the front arc of the penalty area. Bayern got a free kick in the frontcourt.

Su Dong did his part, took the free kick himself, and scored a wonderful deciduous goal with his left foot. Bayern once again overtook the score, [-] to [-]!

No. In the 19th minute, Thomas Muller made a cross from the right of Robben. When he did not have a shot angle, he headed the ball for a while and flew to the back point.

Su Dong followed up easily and headed into the mid-air goal from close range, sealing the victory for Bayern, [-] to [-]!

The two teams played against each other. Although Schalke [-] was an away game, they showed no fear.

However, Bayern's player level and offensive efficiency are significantly higher.

Especially in the second half, after Su Dong was substituted, Robben took the lead in attacking. In the No. 705 minute, he dribbled the ball and forced a breakthrough to form a single goal. He pushed a shot in front of the goal and further expanded the score for Bayern, [-] to [-]!

In the end, Bayern beat Schalke [-] [-]-[-] at home and won a hearty victory.

……

Before facing Manchester United in the Champions League, it is definitely a good thing for Bayern to win a big victory in the league.

The German media also praised Bayern's performance this season, believing that this team has every hope of continuing the glory of last season, and even showing more dominance than last season.

But Kicker magazine also reminded Bayern that Manchester United is not a soft persimmon, especially at Old Trafford. The Red Devils Manchester United have always been the most difficult bone to crack.

Beckenbauer also reminded Bayern players in the column, hoping that they can be cautious.

Bayern also paid enough attention to the Battle of Old Trafford and decided to arrive in Manchester ahead of schedule for preparations.

…………

…………

The day before the game, Bayern arrived in Manchester and checked into a hotel near Old Trafford.

Not all for the convenience of getting to Old Trafford, but because Bayern borrowed Manchester City's training ground.

It’s really interesting to say that Manchester United and Manchester City’s training bases are both in Carrington, a western suburb of Manchester. A tree-lined country road goes in, and the training bases of the two famous Premier League teams stand side by side, like brothers.

What is the origin of these two teams, why the training base is in Carrington, this is not known.

But obviously, Manchester United's Trafford training center is much taller than Manchester City's training base, and the facilities are more complete.

Manchester United's investment in this area is still very willing to spend money. After Ferguson trained the Class of [-], his investment in youth training has not weakened, and Manchester United's scouts are also searching for young talents all over the world.

In contrast, Manchester City is much shabby, but after the acquisition by the Abu Dhabi consortium, the first thing Manchester City did was to renovate the training base. This matter was personally in charge of the technical director Begiristan. It is said that Guardiola is behind it.

Therefore, after the Bayern team arrived at Manchester City's Carrington training base, what they saw had been remodeled. Whether it was the player rest area, the dressing room, or the gym and training ground, they all looked brand new.

Since the youth training center is not here, Manchester City's training base is specially provided for first-team players. The venue is small, much smaller than the Trafford training center opposite Manchester United.

……

When Bayern arrived at Carrington, Manchester City's technical director Begiristain personally greeted him.

He and Su Dong are already old friends, and they are very familiar with each other, and they also brought Soriano's greetings.

Manchester City's office area is not in Carrington, but in Manchester's City Stadium.

It is said that Manchester City is attracting investment and plans to sell the naming rights of their home stadium like Arsenal. It should not be called City Stadium in the future.

Begiristain took Manchester City up and down to see Carrington, and at the same time arranged for them a spare dressing room.

Since Manchester City also has to train, they can only borrow a field for Bayern to use for the time being, but this is enough.

In fact, borrowing a training ground like Bayern is a very normal phenomenon in European football, and it is not even worth mentioning, especially when some need to go to the away game in advance, borrowing a venue will be more beneficial to the team.

Manchester City's players are also at the training ground, and they all welcome Bayern's visit.

It can be seen that after the transformation, the grades of the players' entertainment area and rest area have also been improved, and the computers equipped are all provided by the American Apple Company, game consoles and various recreational and sports facilities are also available.

But what really caught Su Dong's attention was not at Manchester City's Carrington training base, but outside the base.

There is a small hill next to Manchester United's Trafford training center, which is covered with trees.

Su Dong heard Ronnie mentioned more than once that when he first joined Manchester United, he often practiced alone in the woods on the hills, because the Manchester United players didn't think much of him at that time, and some people even mocked him as the illegitimate son of Queiroz.

It should be there!
Su Dong looked at the hills and thought to himself.

At this moment, Ronnie should also be preparing for the game at the Trafford Training Center.

……

"Mansour has informed us that he plans to re-locate and build a training center in the downtown area of ​​Manchester. The investment is expected to be very staggering, but after completion, it will definitely be the top training ground in world football."

Begiristan quietly came to Su Dong's side.

The two of them are old friends, and Bayern came to borrow Manchester City's training base again. It's normal to chat for a few words, and it's not considered a private contact.

Besides, it’s already the age of information technology. Today’s private contact with players is more of a situation where the people don’t raise officials and don’t investigate. As long as both clubs can accept it, who cares how you get in touch?

"It can be seen that he is very ambitious and plans to make a career in professional football and start this brand." Su Dong praised.

Whether there is ambition can be seen.

If you just want to make quick money, or buy low and sell high, then there is no need to invest so much.

After Abramovich bought Chelsea, how bad was the Blues' training base?
Even if Chelsea's stars gathered later, wouldn't they still train in that dilapidated "small warehouse"?
These things were not uncommonly ridiculed by the media back then, saying that any player is worth more than the training base.

"He's your fan." Begiristain said tentatively.

Su Dong smiled and wanted to say that he had too many fans, but he had a very good relationship with Begiristan, and he could understand what he meant.

"I hope to win three Champions Leagues in a row with Bayern. Only after I have achieved this goal will I think about other things."

"This is really a...great wish." Begiristan originally wanted to say that it was an unrealistic wish, because in his impression, it was basically impossible.

But after thinking about it, what is impossible with Su Dong?

Bayern has performed so strongly this season. After reaching the semi-finals, who said there is no possibility of winning the Champions League?
And judging from the performance of these two seasons, Bayern's stamina is quite good.

Bayern's lineup itself is very strong, and Su Dong further enhanced Bayern's competitiveness on the basis of this lineup.

"Guardiola is a good manager and I think he will be successful at City."

After a long talk, Su Dong also had a very high evaluation of Guardiola.

Begiristan nodded, he thought so too.

…………

…………

When Su Dong stood at Manchester City's training base, overlooking the small hill where Ronnie trained, Manchester United was also actively preparing for tomorrow night's decisive battle at the Trafford training center next door.

Ferguson even went down to the training ground on a rare occasion, leading the players to practice tactics hand in hand.

He carefully prepared a gift for Bayern, and he will definitely be able to give Bayern a big surprise.

At the same time, he also believes that Manchester United can get the tickets to advance to the Champions League final with this, and the shame of last season's Champions League final will be avenged!
