Chapter 715 We Need Su Dong!
Bayern Tianzun Nesta wears a hat in front of him, Su Dong's eight-ball counterattack tops the UEFA Champions League scorer list!
On the morning of the second day of the game, Gazzetta dello Sport reported on the headlines of this world-focused match, with Su Dong on the cover.

In the report, the media in Milan City believed that Su Dong was the key to Bayern's away game reversal against AC Milan. His hat-trick helped Bayern beat AC Milan [-]-[-] and almost secured the quarter-finals ahead of schedule.

"In the game, we can clearly see that Leonardo did make a lot of defensive arrangements against Su Dong, but all of them were ineffective in front of Su Dong. Su Dong scored two goals in the first half and reversed the score for Bayern."

Gazzetta dello Sport believes that Su Dong's two goals not only reflect the personal ability of the players, but also reflect the control of the two teams over the game. Bayern's two goals are only separated by 1 minutes.

"Obviously, at the beginning of the game, the initiative seemed to be in the hands of AC Milan, but Bayern was actually controlling it. It can be said that Heynckes' biggest mistake in the whole game was Ronaldinho. The flash of inspiration from the Brazilian genius was completely beyond everyone's expectations, including Leonardo."

According to the analysis of Gazzetta dello Sport, Bayern sought stability in the start, but they were caught off guard by AC Milan, especially Ronaldinho's goal, which completely disrupted Bayern's deployment, and then Ronaldinho frequently created threats.

"But AC Milan's too much offense is still a personal performance."

"In the battle of San Siro, Ronaldinho played his best form. This may be his best game since he joined AC Milan, but he still has very obvious problems, that is, too much individual performance, failing to integrate the team as a whole, which should have been the responsibility of the core players."

"On the contrary, Su Dong did a pretty good job in this regard. All three goals came from the team's sports goals, especially the third goal that sealed the victory. It was Su Dong's attack with the ball after he retreated very deep."

Gazzetta dello Sport believes that the difference in core players has caused Bayern and AC Milan to take two completely different offensive paths. Milan is too obsessed with individual performances, as is Ronaldinho, and so is Pato, while Bayern is more about team combat, closely surrounding Su Dong's attack.

In the end, Gazzetta dello Sport believes that the score of [-] to [-] at home appropriately reflects the strength gap between the two teams. AC Milan's players have personal abilities, but their overall combat ability is far inferior to that of Bayern, which made them swallow the bitter fruit of the home defeat.

"Judging from the results, the possibility of a reversal in the second round is extremely slim."

UEFA also interviewed Su Dong, the best player in the game immediately after the game, and posted an exclusive interview on the official website. The title is: Su Dong, who has regained his best form, leads Bayern to capture San Siro!
In the report, UEFA gave Su Dong a very high evaluation, thinking that he used a hat-trick in the focus match at San Siro to fight back all the doubts, so that everyone had to admit that he is still the most terrifying attacker on the planet.

Su Dong also revealed in the interview that he didn't actually do a good job, but the teammates around him performed too well.

"What I am most happy about is that after Inzaghi came on the field, we fell into a passive situation for a while, but my teammates successfully defended the goal and did not allow AC Milan to score again. This is undoubtedly a very good result."

Not being scored by AC Milan for the second goal means that AC Milan must score three goals at the Allianz Arena.

Everyone knows that Bayern is one of the strongest teams in the world today, especially the offensive firepower. If AC Milan wants to score three goals in the away game, how can they ensure that their goals are not broken by Bayern?

Su Dong's words in the interview actually indirectly revealed a message, that is, he is full of confidence in Bayern's results in the first round, and firmly believes that Bayern can beat AC Milan at the Allianz Arena and successfully advance to the quarterfinals.

The current German national team leader and former AC Milan star, Bierhoff said in an interview with UEFA that the main reason for Milan's loss tonight is that Leonardo did not come up with a particularly effective tactic to mark Su Dong, which allowed Su Dong to get more running space.

"For a player like Su Dong, there must be a set of targeted defenses. This is already a consensus, because if you don't arrange a targeted defense, just relying on the player's concentration is not enough, because there is no way for the players to guarantee [-]% focus on Su Dong. Bayern also has other offensive players."

"That's the truth. When Ribery, Arjen Robben, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Thomas Muller and other Bayern players interfered with the attention of the defenders, Sudong started to play a threat, which made Milan suffer."

Bierhoff used to be a great center forward, so he knows the importance and particularity of Sudong better than anyone else. He does not agree with the outside world that Sudong and Ronaldinho are stars of the same level.

"This is unrealistic. Whether it is in terms of influence or performance on the court, Su Dong's achievements are higher than Ronaldinho's. The score of three to one is even the gap between the two."

Bierhoff believes that Sudong's performance directly affects Bayern's performance. He called on Bayern's top management to keep Sudong as much as possible and renew his contract. This is not only a matter for Bayern, but also a major event for the Bundesliga and even the entire German football world.

The German Kicker magazine also focused on analyzing this focus match in the UEFA Champions League special issue the next day.

AC Milan coach Leonardo said at the post-match press conference that the turning point of the game came from an accident.

That was Su Dong's second goal.

"Before Su Dong scored the second goal, we actually played very well and even got chances in a row, but unfortunately, luck was on Bayern's side. Su Dong's first goal hit our morale, and the second goal made us feel frustrated. I suspect that luck is also on Bayern's side."

But Kicker magazine refuted Leonardo's remarks, arguing that it was not luck that beat Milan.

"In fact, even if Milan had gone into the second half with a [-]-[-] draw, the Rossoneri would still have lost."

Kicker magazine analyzed the technical statistics of the game. Whether it is in pass success rate, ball possession rate, or various offensive statistics, Bayern is obviously better than AC Milan, especially in the defense of core players.

"While Leonardo was defending his team why he failed to defend Su Dong, Bayern managed to make Pirlo misfire. The Italian midfielder played very badly in this game. The number of passes created a new low this season. There were only 26 passes in the game, and there was not even a single threatening pass."

According to the analysis of Kicker magazine, Pirlo's downturn is not due to his lack of strength or poor form. He had a direct free kick that was very threatening, but the reason why he failed to perform at his level was because Bayern specially arranged two players, Schweinsteiger and Thomas Muller, for him.

"Heynckes perfectly froze Pirlo, leaving Milan's core without performance. This is a key factor for Bayern to control the midfield, and it is also an important reason for Milan's defeat."

In addition, Kicker magazine also commented on Huntelaar, thinking that the Dutch center also did nothing and almost disappeared, and this was related to Ronaldinho and Pato fighting each other and not being able to connect.

"Hunterel is the kind of striker who must pass from the midfield and the wing to support, but Bayern cut Ronaldinho, Huntelaar and Pato into independent individuals through defense, and let them fight on their own. With Pirlo losing power in the midfield, it is also difficult to deliver shells for Huntelaar in the frontcourt."

Kicker magazine finally concluded that the San Siro battle played out Bayern's momentum and also made people see Bayern's strength.

Especially Su Dong, he made the whole world fall for him with a hat trick.

"Battle of San Siro, Bayern once again proved to the world that they are still the most powerful contender for the Champions League this season!"

"Su Dong's dream of winning three consecutive Champions League titles is not without chance!"

In another focus match at the same time as the San Siro battle, Real Madrid challenged Lyon away.

The superstar-studded Real Madrid is determined to get rid of the tragic fate of the Champions League Sixteen Lang this season. Before the game, they threatened to beat Lyon in the away game. Unexpectedly, in the away game against Lyon, Real Madrid frequently missed offensive opportunities.

With a possession rate of 60.00%, the number of shots is actually less than that of Lyon.

Especially Lyon, almost every attack is a counterattack, which makes Real Madrid's defense exhausted.

In the end, Real Madrid conceded a goal not long after the start of the second half, allowing the team to return home with a [-]-[-] away game.

If it weren't for the help of the goal post, Real Madrid would have conceded more goals.

Regarding this defeat, the attitude of the media is generally quite tolerant, but Real Madrid's performance is really unsatisfactory.

Even the mouthpiece Aspen believes that if Real Madrid does not adjust their form after returning to the Bernabeu and plays a better and sharper offense, it will be very, very difficult to beat Lyon and advance.

The Marca newspaper even pointed out that Lyon created more shots with only a [-]% possession rate, and most of them were full of threats. This proves that the Ligue [-] team's investment in the counterattack is very firm and decisive.

Real Madrid's offense is relatively weak. Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Higuain all combined only had six shots and failed to form a goal. This made Real Madrid's offense seriously lack of threat.

"We can now understand why Valdano has repeatedly emphasized that Real Madrid needs to introduce players like Su Dong."

"Look at Su Dong's performance in Bayern's away game against AC Milan, and then look at the performance of Real Madrid's frontcourt attackers in the away game against Lyon. It is imperative to fully operate Su Dong to join!"

However, whether it is Aspen or Marca, or Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini, they are still full of confidence in the team's second-round promotion.

After all, the second round is at the Bernabeu.
