I Want to Be the King of Football

The morning after the match, at the Carrington training base in Manchester.

Nuno Cruz took over the test data just released from the Manchester City team doctor, which records in detail the test results just completed by Su Dong, and some of the important data indicators were watched by Nuno Cruz. Draw a black line on the side.

Finally, the person in charge of Su Dong's personal trainer team put down the report in his hand, nodded and smiled with the surrounding team doctors and personal trainers, and finally looked at Su Dong, who was already sweating profusely.

The test results are good, and I should be able to play on the weekend.

As soon as Nuno Cruise finished speaking, Su Dong breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

Although in name, Nuno Cruz is an expert hired by Su Dong, but in fact, he determines the key to whether Su Dong can play the game, and after each game, he will test Su Dong's physical indicators.

Of course Su Dong could object or even not follow Nuno Cruz's professional advice, but this is irresponsible to himself.

The outside world generally believes that with Su Dong's current state, it is not a problem to play until the age of 40, but this is based on Su Dong's ability to follow the advice of the personal trainer team and cooperate with them. If he acts willfully, God knows how long he can play?

Su Dong asked himself that he is not an expert in this field, but he believes in professionalism and science.

This should be his greatest characteristic.

Of course, sometimes, especially when he is prevented from playing, he will still feel a little depressed, because it means that he has spent money to find a leader for himself and controls his body.

To a certain extent, the body of a professional player does not belong to him.

Not to mention Nuno Cruz, if Guardiola forced Sudong to play in some games, he really couldn't refuse.

Of course, this is just an assumption, because once this is done, it means that the cooperation between the two sides will break down, and in the end, no one will benefit from it. The head coach will not do such a thing under normal circumstances.

Especially in the face of a superstar like Su Dong.

I and everyone are working hard to prepare your training plan for this summer. We initially estimate that you should lose at least five kilograms to make your whole body lighter, so that the load on your legs will be effectively reduced.

Loose five kilograms? Su Dong frowned.

Nuno Cruz nodded affirmatively, This is just the beginning, and it is estimated that we will lose some weight every year.

But in this case, my physical strength will definitely decline. Su Dong was a little embarrassed.

In fact, he now has a lot of technical moves, and even a lot of goals on the court, are achieved by physical advantages.

Especially in recent years, in European football, there is basically no defender who can take advantage of Su Dong physically, especially after the old generation of central defenders such as Lucio and Vidic, Su Dong is in European football. The altar is invincible.

Just like the game against Real Madrid, Ramos and Albiol were basically not enough to watch in front of Sudong.

But if there is no tyrannical body, Su Dong's threat will decline a lot.

This is an inevitable result, and it is a slow decline process, and the impact will not be so big. Nuno Cruz explained, And you should also know that after getting older, physical functions will decline. Transformation is a For sure, you have to reduce physical contact properly next, otherwise, there will be more and more injuries.

Just like Drogba, when he was young, his body was like a cow. Who can handle him in European football?

But the result of relying too much on the body is that when you get older, you don't have time to change your playing style, and you get more and more injuries.

To put it bluntly, when you get older, your physical function declines, and your physical strength is not as good as that of young people.

Don't worry, we have done deductions, even if you don't rely on your body, as long as you can maintain your body's flexibility, speed and explosiveness, and your foot skills are still delicate, your threat on the court will not be weakened, it's just the team's tactics. make appropriate adjustments.”

Su Dong didn't doubt Nuno Cruise's professionalism, so he must have a whole set of plans.

...

A four-to-one victory over Real Madrid at home has become the most exciting thing for Manchester City.

Even a player who is optimistic about his team's prospects cannot believe that his team can reach the quarter-finals in the Champions League for the first time. Semifinals.

That's the Champions League semi-final!

What does this mean?

The whole world knows that all teams that reach the semi-finals of the Champions League basically have the strength to win the championship.

After all, the strength of a team that can climb out step by step from the group stage that tests its strength to the brutal knockout stage is definitely not easy.

Manchester City are now even faintly showing signs of becoming the favourites.

However, even if it really crosses Real Madrid and Barcelona is in front of Manchester City, it will not be easy to enter the final.

But this will not affect the mood of Manchester City players. Everyone is very satisfied with being able to advance to the semi-finals.

You know, many of the Manchester City players are participating in the Champions League for the first time.

And how high the status of this event is in the hearts of all professional players around the world, I believe fans know it.

The players are in a good mood, and the restorative training is also enjoyable. The coaching staff also relaxes their requirements appropriately. The training content is mainly recovery, and the intensity is not high, so Carrington is full of laughter from the players.

It wasn't until the end of training that Guardiola reminded the players to forget about last night's game.

When you face Sunderland the day after tomorrow, I hope you all forget this game completely, forget the Champions League for a while, and go to the Bernabeu next week, we need to forget the score of the first leg and still go all out.

When Guardiola said this, his expression was extremely serious.

Obviously, he is worried that the team's emotions are too inflated.

This is the most common problem for all recruits, Manchester City are a Champions League recruit.

Why are knockouts so cruel?

Because it is very targeted.

Is a three-goal lead a lot?

Much is said, but little is said.

Back then, when AC Milan lost four goals away from home, it could be reversed at home. Isn't Real Madrid just three goals behind?

At the Bernabeu, Real Madrid scored three goals for Manchester City and reversed the total score. Is it difficult?

It's really not difficult at all.

If Manchester City does not have a deep awareness of this, blindly indulges in the lead in the first round, and thinks that the right to promotion is guaranteed, then when they visit the Bernabeu Stadium, they may be reversed by Real Madrid at any time, or even completely humiliated.

If nothing else, just use Real Madrid's attacking power. If they really play well, God knows how many goals they can score?

Guardiola's admonition comes from this. He hopes that everyone can clean up their mood and guard against arrogance and impatience.

...

After returning to the locker room, Su Dong also kept the players, and once again reiterated the coach's exhortation.

Fighting spirit is a good thing, but arrogance is not.

Manchester City is winning consecutive games and the momentum is very strong. The most important thing is to play steadily and play every game well, instead of thinking too much about the future.

For example the semi-finals.

That was media hype. For Manchester City now, the right to promotion has not yet been secured, and the Bernabeu battle is still very risky. A little carelessness may capsize in the gutter, so Guardiola ordered no one to discuss the semi-finals.

I have experienced many hard battles, many big wins, and even the biggest reversal in the history of the Champions League. I participated in it, so I understand the cruelty of the Champions League better than any of you.

It may just be a casual thought, just a slight slack, or even just a trivial mistake, and it may lead to the entire game, or even our entire season's efforts, all fall short.

Su Dong told his teammates that the more critical the moment of the game, the more he must maintain his composure and control his emotions.

The most important thing in the Champions League knockout is not how strong the strength is, but how stable it is.

As a matter of fact, you can see that in the history of the Champions League, all the teams that finally won the championship have very stable results in the knockout rounds. Even the Barcelona I played for, although the game process was ups and downs, the overall results are still relatively high. stable.

If you want to talk about champions, only teams with stable and high-level performance will have champions!

Today's Su Dong is fully qualified to talk about qualifications and the past in front of his teammates.

In this Manchester City, no one has more Champions League experience than him.

On top of that, the Manchester City players were also convinced by him.

…………

…………

On the weekend, the 31st round of the Premier League, Manchester City at home against Sunderland.

Guardiola has rotated the team, and the players have indeed been affected by the recent momentum. Some optimism, coupled with the fatigue accumulated from the multi-line battle, broke out in the last game of March. , resulting in poor team performance.

In the 31st minute of the first half, he conceded the ball first. Fortunately, before the end of the first half, Dzeko broke into the penalty area and created a penalty kick. Aguero calmly took the penalty and equalized the score for Manchester City.

Neither side could score again after that.

Manchester City controlled the situation on the field and launched a fierce attack on Sunderland, but it was never effective, breaking the black cat's goal, and Sunderland also failed to effectively counterattack under the strong pressure of Manchester City.

Until the 75th minute, Guardiola used the last substitution and replaced Milner with Sudong.

Three strikers were present at the same time, which put a lot of pressure on Sunderland.

In the 85th minute, it was Su Dong who received an oblique pass from Leighton Baines and entered the penalty area from the left rib. After passing the defender, he volleyed the goal from the far corner with his right foot and reversed the score for Manchester City. .

Just two minutes later, Aguero received a pass from Sudong, broke through the outside of the penalty area, created the opponent's foul, and won a free kick for Manchester City.

Su Dong did his part, took the penalty himself, and used a strangely curved leaf ball to pierce the goal guarded by Mignolet, giving Manchester City another victory, three to one!

The score remained until the end of the game.

Manchester City finally relied on a brace from Su Dong, who came off the bench, to reverse Sunderland 3-1.
