I Want to Be the King of Football

There is such an anecdote in the UK.

Daily Mirror readers think they run the country; Guardian readers think they should run the country; Times readers run the country; Daily Mail readers are the people who run the country Wife; FT readers actually own the country.

As their names suggest, The Times and the Financial Times are the most authoritative newspapers in the UK.

But after Manchester City smashed White Hart Lane 3-0 away and defeated Tottenham Hotspur, The Times published a very untimely headline on the front page of the next day.

Manchester City king, beyond imagination!

In this front page headline, The Times reviewed the opening game last night and believed that Su Dong played a decisive role in this game, not only scored twice, but also contributed an assist, He helped Manchester City beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-0 away and scored the first three points of the new season.

Looking at the whole game, Su Dong was on the front line, not only threatening the goal, but also creating opportunities for his teammates. He has become the core of the team's attack, making everyone around him revolve around him.

The Times reviewed the process of the game. From the opening of Tottenham Hotspur's attack, Manchester City was forced to shoot, and the scene was quite embarrassing, but at the critical moment, Su Dong's goal played a crucial role. role, but also sounded the horn of Manchester City's counterattack.

In the opening tactics, the experienced Harry completely suppressed the immature Guardiola. The latter's tactics were indeed very subtle, but Lao Lei used a wave of opening rushes to almost break Manchester City's goal, and after more than 20 minutes For a few minutes, it completely overwhelmed City and prevented them from making a decent attack.

The Times believes that Redknapp's starting tactics were successful, but Lao Lei left out Su Dong.

Su Dong's goal boosted the morale of Manchester City, and also hit Tottenham's determination, and then the game began to enter the rhythm of Manchester City, Lao Lei and his Tottenham lost the initiative step by step, and were finally attacked by Su Dong. Score the second goal.

The Times believes that if the first goal is the horn of Manchester City's counterattack, then Sudong's second goal is the key to the victory of the game. This goal completely defeated Tottenham Hotspur.

Subsequently, The Times reviewed Su Dong's performance throughout the game, and used various data to confirm Su Dong's performance.

As Manchester City's lone striker, Su Dong contributed the most threats to the team and was violated the most by the team, which is enough to prove that he is the most threatening on Manchester City's pitch and the most feared object by Tottenham's defenders.

Coming to the Premier League, he didn't even have to adapt.

It fits perfectly into the team.

He is tall and strong, yet has delicate and flexible foot skills. Whether it is taking a long pass and stopping the ball for the first goal, or stopping the ball for the second goal to get rid of the defensive double-team, it all reflects Su Dong's super-strong individual. ability.

The Times believes that at the beginning of Sudong joining Manchester City, many people have expressed doubts, thinking that it is difficult for Sudong to adapt to the Premier League.

Speaking like this has been around since he was still at Valencia, almost without interruption.

But The Times believes that with this game against Tottenham Hotspur, all the doubters can basically shut up, because Su Dong's performance does not see any need to adapt to the process, he is completely Integrated into the team, fully adapted to the Premier League.

More importantly, he continued his first official game of the newly joined team in the past few years, and always played the fine tradition of scoring twice, showing his excellent competitive state.

A Su Dong whose state and body are 100% will contribute even more amazing performances and performances in the future!

...

If The Times is more concerned with the football game itself, the Guardian, which has always been aggressive, published an article that almost ignited a battle as its own front page headline.

Su Dong is not the second Shevchenko!

In this article, in addition to introducing the game process and Su Dong's outstanding performance, the Guardian more importantly lists a series of evidence, trying to persuade readers to believe that although Su Dong only played one game, But it has been perfectly integrated into the Premier League without any problems, completely different from Shevchenko back then.

The Guardian used two very different examples.

One is David Silva.

After David Silva joined Manchester City last season, Guardiola entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, but his performance at the beginning was not satisfactory, some could not adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League, and the speed and physicality requirements.

He went through a period of running-in test and gradually became familiar with the rhythm of the Premier League before he gradually regained his form.

More importantly, David Silva has outstanding foot skills and passing ability.

The opposite of David Silva is the Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko.

The Guardian recalled that when Shevchenko joined Chelsea, he performed well in the Community Shield and scored goals, but it was only a warm-up match. When it came to the Premier League, Shevchenko immediately disarmed.

According to the outside world, Shevchenko was physically and mentally exhausted because of his participation in the World Cup in Germany in 2006, and after returning to the club, he did not give him enough rest and adjustment, allowing him to slowly recover. Mourinho couldn't wait to push him into the starting lineup, which resulted in him getting tired and kicking, playing worse and less confident.

This formed a vicious circle, which finally wiped out all of Shevchenko's confidence and fighting spirit, and the world's top striker suffered the worst Waterloo of his career at Chelsea.

The Guardian did this after analysing the process of the two players.

They believe that Su Dong has shown great adaptability in his first Premier League game. He may not even be in the best condition, but he still plays a vital role.

We have no doubt that Su Dong can actually do better, but at White Hart Lane, he has already performed well enough!

The Guardian believes that Su Dong's first battle severely slapped those doubters in the face, especially in the past few years, media reporters and fans who have persistently ridiculed and questioned him.

I believe that all fans who have watched the Premier League opener, as long as he still has eyes, as long as he has no conscience, will no longer question Su Dong. He blew the horn of conquering the Premier League with a brace. !

...

At the same time as the two major media outlets came to an end, the major media and newspapers in the UK also entered the venue one after another.

On the first day of the Premier League, the most attention was the opening game, and Su Dong was a superstar with his own traffic, making him the front page headlines of major media and newspapers, and everyone wanted to dig out more news from him. .

With two goals, Su Dong also became the most prominent player in the Premier League on the first day of the new season.

But only on the first day.

The next day, other Premier League games gradually ignited the war.

Chelsea take on Bloomers West Bromwich Albion at their home.

Ancelotti's team played a tidal wave at Stamford Bridge and won a hearty victory, which ended with a 6-0 rout of West Bromwich Albion and won the Premier League's first game of the season. The most eye-catching victory of the round.

More importantly, Warcraft Drogba scored a hat-trick in this game.

This hat-trick allowed Drogba to surpass Su Dong in the top scorer list.

At Stamford Bridge, when Drogba scored a hat-trick, Abramovich and more than 40,000 fans stood up and gave him the warmest applause. This is the biggest performance of Drogba. affim.

In an interview with the media after the game, Drogba was delighted with his hat-trick and thanked his teammates.

He mentions Su Dong, thinking that Su Dong is the target he has been chasing for the past few years.

I know him very well, we have a very good relationship and occasionally talk on the phone, I have been targeting him since I was playing for Marseille, I hope to surpass him and beat him, but it has never been successful.

Drogba expressed great regret for this, but was extremely proud of his ability to surpass Sudong in the scorer list.

I know it's supposed to be temporary and he'll turn around very soon because he's a natural killer and the most terrible scorer in the world, I don't think I can keep that edge going forever, but I I will still do my best for it.”

Being able to lead Su Dong in the scorer list, even if it is only a day, is a very proud thing for me.

Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti openly praised Drogba in his post-match press conference, believing that he performed very well, but not only because of his goals, but also because of his efforts for the whole team, especially Active on defense.

Ancelotti recognizes Su Dong's strength, but also recognizes Drogba's value. He even said that if Drogba can continue the state and performance of the first round of the league and suppress Su Dong in the scorer list, it may not be impossible. .

Anyone could hear that, although Ancelotti favored Drogba, he still recognized Su Dong's strength.

After all, this is based on the goals scored one after another in the Europa League over the past few years.

At the press conference, the media also mentioned Brazil Sanchez's 18-year-old striker Neymar, who Chelsea is very interested in.

Ancelotti did not deny it, but he said he knew nothing about the progress of the transfer, only that Neymar's technical ability is very good and is one of the young players he is most interested in.

It is not easy to attract Neymar to join. As far as I know, teams including Manchester United, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern, Juventus, Inter Milan, and even Manchester City are all interested in Neymar. .

He is like Sudong when he played for Sporting Lisbon, causing competition in the entire European football world!

What's more interesting is that Ancelotti also mentioned that Manchester City's warm-up match for the new season was very bad, and Chelsea's summer warm-up match was the same, and even lost the Community Shield 1-3 to Manchester United.

But it is these two teams that performed a mess in the warm-up match and became the most eye-catching focus of the first round of the Premier League.
