I Want to Be the King of Football

Su Dong still clearly remembers that when he first met Lazio, the Serie A Blue Eagles were still the top team in the world.

At that time, the team had top central defenders such as Stam and Mikhailovich, as well as a group of outstanding stars.

In Su Dong's mind, there has always been an inexplicable impression that Serie A is a strong team.

But when he met Lazio again after the telephone incident, he really couldn't hide the loss in his heart.

Compared with the star-studded Serie A Blue Eagles of the past, Lazio today is obviously weaker in terms of star lineup and overall strength, which makes Su Dong unable to recall the greatness of Serie A stars in the summer of 2006. escape.

If it is said that the impact of Sudong on the Serie A phone door before was only imagined, then in this game against Lazio, he experienced this gap first-hand.

Lazio's overall strength is comparable to that of Werder Bremen, Schalke 04 and other teams, not to mention the Blue Eagles of the year. In today's Bundesliga, it may even be worse.

Reflected in the stadium, Bayern firmly locked the situation and got the ball right from the beginning.

In the 29th minute, Lazio left defender Kolarov made a mistake in stopping the ball. After being stolen by Schweinsteiger, Lahm inserted the edge and made a pass from the bottom. Su Dong in the penalty area rushed to the goal. Pushed and scored, one-to-zero.

After changing sides in the second half, Bayern continued to maintain their offensive against Lazio.

Schweinsteiger sent a pick from the right, Su Dong plugged in behind, and after stopping the ball in his chest, he swiped the ball with his right foot to avoid the attacking goalkeeper, caught up with the ball before the baseline, and easily pushed the empty goal and succeeded. Two to zero.

In the 82nd minute, Su Dong created an opponent's foul at the front of the penalty area and won a free kick for Bayern.

Su Dong, who has scored two goals in a row, feels that his footwork is just right, and he has also practiced free kicks for a long time, and immediately asked to take the penalty.

This free kick was of high quality, with good radian and strength, but it was a little too quality-oriented and the angle was too positive, and was saved by the goalkeeper sideways.

Ribery took the opportunity to catch up, picked up a missed shot in front of the goal, and scored another victory for Bayern, three to zero.

When the French Scarface celebrated his goal, Su Dong looked depressed.

After practicing for so many years of free kicks, I managed to seize the opportunity to take a free kick. The ball was good and aimed at the goal, but it didn't score. It's really sad to think about it.

...

In the end, Bayern defeated Lazio 3-0 and won the three-game winning streak in the group stage.

At the Bernabeu, Real Madrid defeated Olympiacos 4-2 and reversed to second place in the group.

In this way, the situation in the group stage will be much clearer.

Bayern is far ahead, followed by Real Madrid, and it is difficult for Olympiacos and Lazio to pose a threat to these two giants.

Among them, Lazio's performance was the most disappointing.

The Blue Eagles had a 1-1 draw at Olympiacos away, and a 2-2 draw at home with Real Madrid. Many people expected him to be the spoiler of this group. Unexpectedly, this team could not cause trouble to the two strong teams at all. Big disappointment.

It can also be seen from Lazio that after the telephone incident, the overall strength of the Serie A team declined.

But the German media are more happy, because the decline of Serie A is undoubtedly an opportunity for the Bundesliga.

This also makes Germany look forward to it even more.

The Bundesliga team headed by Bayern can catch up and overtake Serie A as soon as possible, and it is best to reproduce the heyday and prosperity of the turn of the century.

On the afternoon of October 28, in the eleventh round of the Bundesliga, Bayern challenged Dortmund away.

The Hornet is currently ranked eleventh in the Bundesliga, and there is still a gap in strength with Bayern, but Bayern is playing away.

Bayern has always had a tradition that every time the team leaves for an away game, they only take Bayern's own bus.

If the distance is short, take a bus to go there. If the distance is long, even if it is a guest at the Bernabeu before, let the team's bus bring the equipment and players' ingredients and drinking water in advance and go to Madrid to prepare. Then arrive by plane, and the team bus that arrives early will come to pick up the plane.

The same goes for Dortmund away this time.

Unexpectedly, this time in Dortmund, the team bus was blocked on the road, causing the team to arrive at the stadium 20 minutes later than the scheduled training time, and the team did not have much time to warm up.

This also allowed Bayern to be pressed by Dortmund immediately after the opening.

Until the 31st minute, Bayern broke the deadlock on the field.

A long-range shot from Van Bommel was saved by Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller. Su Dong grabbed the opportunity in the chaotic battle in the penalty area and hit a supplementary shot to open the scoring for Bayern.

The goal also remained until the end of the game.

Bayern beat Dortmund 1-0 thanks to Su Dong's goal.

…………

…………

After playing Dortmund away, the entire Bayern team returned to Munich, but the team's bus still remained in Dortmund.

Three days later, the team will go north to participate in the second round of the German Cup.

The opponent was a third-tier team called Red and White Allen.

It is said that they had good luck in the first round of the draw, and they drew a weak team and defeated their opponents at home to advance smoothly.

And this team is currently ranked first in the northern division of the German third-tier regional league, and its strength should also be OK.

The top of the Bundesliga against the top of the third tier is really interesting.

...

After the team returned to Munich, Klose and Robben officially participated in the team's joint training.

The former's recovery rate was later than originally expected, while Robben's recovery rate was alright.

Since they have just returned from injury, they will not travel north with the team.

But the comeback of Klose and Robben is a big relief for Bayern.

The most difficult time is finally over.

...

The team rested for two days in Munich and set off north in the middle of the week for the second round of the German Cup.

Bayern still arrived at Dortmund, got on the team bus, and went to the town called Allen.

Since Klose did not accompany the team, Su Dong went out with the team this time, and after the Podolski flu, his state was not ideal, so Su Dong is likely to start this game.

Heynckes went through with Su Dong before he set off, and got a positive answer from Su Dong.

From Valencia to Barcelona to today's Bayern, Su Dong actually seldom plays domestic cups, unless it is a kind of dialogue between the strong and the strong, like this expedition away to challenge the underdog, Su Dong has never played. Pass.

I have to say, it feels really fresh.

Tony Cross will start this game, and he is in a very happy mood. He even specially asked his teammates to change positions and sat in front of Su Dong. He kept chatting with Marcelo all the way, which made Su Dong feel very uncomfortable. speechless.

In the past, Marcelo's best chat partner was Ribery. The French Scarface is actually a character, and he gets along very well with Marcelo, but this time Ribery did not go with the team, and Marcelo thought he would go all the way. Depressed, I didn't expect Tony Cross to come to the door.

Along the way, in the chirping sound of the two, enjoying the scenery of the towns and villages of the North Rhine Coal Mine along the way, it didn't take long to drive into the town of Allen.

What surprised Su Dong was that the King's Cup knockout was imminent. The fans here did not mean to be hostile to Bayern at all. Even though they were actually very close to Dortmund, they still chased and cheered after Bayern's bus.

After arriving at Red and White Allen's Wesse Stadium, what Su Dong saw was even more surprising.

The stands of this stadium are very small and can only accommodate three or four thousand people, but the stadium is densely packed with fans, and all of them have bought standing tickets.

When Bayern's bus arrived, there was even a burst of warm applause at the scene to welcome Bayern's arrival.

My God, is this an away game? Su Dong felt very fresh.

Heynckes laughed, You rarely play this kind of cup, do you?

Su Dong nodded. He really didn't play. It felt like he had returned to the feeling he had when he played for Sporting Portugal in Portugal, but fans in lower-level leagues like Germany would be more and more enthusiastic.

We seem to be here to win, but how did they... Su Dong felt strange.

Not hostile to us? Heynckes asked with a smile.

Su Dong nodded, logically speaking, shouldn't the home fans catch the visiting team and spray them to death?

Not only are the fans not hostile, but even the red and white Allen greeted Bayern like a VIP. Is this a bit too enthusiastic?

When we get to the court, it's time for a foul. They still foul, and there's no shortage of small moves, because it's part of their strength, but off the court, even if they know we're here to win, they're still very welcome. Would love to draw a team like us.

Su Dong wasn't stupid either. He looked at the crowds around him, especially those on the sidelines who couldn't stand still.

We seem to be here to help them stimulate the market. Su Dong laughed.

Heynckes nodded and sighed again, For us, it's just a passing game, and we even complain about troubles in our hearts, but for them, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Our presence will help them attract fans who would never be able to come to the stadium on a normal day.

You know, it's not easy for the lower-level teams in all leagues in the world, they are basically struggling to survive, in a game like tonight, we may not care at all, and forget about it after playing, but for a lot of them For the team, it may change their development and even their destiny.

The giants stand too high, and occasionally they should bow their heads and look at these bottom-level and lower-middle-class teams that support the league pyramid, give them more room to live, and give them a chance to dream. This is a healthy The virtuous circle that the league system should have, what do you think?

Su Dong didn't answer, but looked at the enthusiastic fans in front of him and fell into thinking.
