One Thousand and Twenty Buddies, You Continue to Attack!
Last night, after returning from training at the Allianz Arena, we had dinner with the team. Guardiola specially took a two-hour vacation to let the players move freely and visit their family and friends.
They are all in the same hotel, just a few steps away.
Su Dong went to visit old friends such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and Iniesta. A group of people gathered together and naturally chatted about the upcoming final. They also shared their experience of how to play Chelsea.
But football is a thing, and every game is different.
Especially in the Champions League.
For example, Drogba, last season's Ivorian is very different from this season's Drogba.
There is also Terry, who has been subject to scandal and controversy this season, which has also affected his state. Although he came back later, who knows how much he can play in the Champions League final?
At least when he played Bayern Munich, he played very bravely. If it were not for the central defender formed by him and Cahill, Chelsea would not have been able to retreat under the fierce offensive of Bayern Munich.
After chatting about football for a while, we talked about Su Dong's wedding.
The small islands in the UAE in the Middle East have been arranged and are now in full swing.
Mansour is still very powerful, and even for this wedding, he built a lot of facilities directly on the island, including roads, green plants and lawns, etc., and invested a lot.
Of course, in their words, these are not one-time investments, but they want to make a name for themselves through Su Dong's wedding and turn this island into a future wedding shrine. At that time, new people all over the world who want to get married will Want to come here for a wedding.
For Su Dong, he can't take care of it in the future, he can only thank Mansour for his efforts, and at the same time he will do his best to help Manchester City win the championship, even if it is a kind of return to Mansour.
The future father-in-law is the leader of a large state-owned enterprise, and he is very busy on weekdays, so the wedding is basically prepared by Su Dong's parents and future mother-in-law. Although there are contractors, there are still many customs and preparations of their own.
For example, Su Wenji will hold a banquet in his hometown to entertain relatives and friends in his hometown.
The same is true for the Wang family.
Neither Su Dong nor Wang Chuqing likes fun and trouble, but if the older generation has such a wish, they naturally have to respect it.
According to the plan, they will hold a wedding in the Middle East, then start a half-month honeymoon trip, and then return to China to participate in two banquets, and then Su Dong will return to Europe to prepare for the new season, and will inevitably have to entertain the club again. teammates.
In the past, Su Dong really seldom thought about these problems and ignored them, but since he came to Manchester City and became the captain, he will consider the problems more comprehensively, and he is no longer alone like before.
Using what Beckenbauer said when they met, Su Dong is now more mature and stable.
...
Halfway through the gathering with the old friends, Wang Chuqing brought her parents and future father-in-law and mother-in-law to the hotel with a group of five.
Although they lived in Su Dong's villa, they had long heard that Su Dong had time. Of course, they wanted to rush over and meet before the game. When it came to the game day, it was a race against time. How could there be time to meet?
When we met, it was natural to nag.
They are basically Su Dong's parents, nothing more than "reporting" on the progress of the wedding preparations, and "showing off" how many houses he has recently bought, as well as some things that have happened at home in the country.
In fact, whether it is in his hometown or in China, whenever something happens, Su Dong will donate money in the country through his parents.
For example, the community where Su Dong lived since he was a child said that he wanted to raise funds to build a pension center.
When Su Wenji called Su Dong, Su Dong did not say a word, and directly entrusted his father to take charge.
Su Wenji is also someone who knows how to handle affairs. He neither steals the limelight nor makes a show. He contacted the neighborhood committee in private.
Let them go to raise money first, and the elderly in the community will not need it. No matter how big the gap is, the Su family will take care of everything. In name, it is still crowdfunding in the community, and the neighbors feel comfortable.
The whole thing was done beautifully, and everyone was happy in the end.
Every time he sees his parents, Su Dong feels a little guilty.
The older generation said that as parents, they all want their children to be promising, but they don’t want their children to be too promising.
Su Dong didn't understand this kind of conflict before, but now he really understands.
However, chatting and chatting, unconsciously, the topic once again shifted to the matter of having children.
This is the most common topic between Su Wenji and his wife Wang Qingquan, and it is also what they like to talk about in front of Su Dong and his wife.
Even a few years ago, they had been encouraging Su Dong and Mr. Wang Chuqing to have several children. Su Dong's parents and future mother-in-law also said that if they had children, they would retire early and take care of them full-time.
As a result, several years have passed, but still no birth.
Still too greedy for the two-person world!

There was no word for the night. The next morning, Manchester City also held a pre-match tactical meeting in the hotel conference room to discuss the Champions League final. Guardiola and the coaching staff explained their ideas to all the players, and also listened to the players. Views.
As the captain of the team, especially the most important player of the team, Su Dong's role in the team is becoming more and more obvious, and he has more and more right to speak in such meetings, and even many times, Guardiola will specifically name Su Dong expressed his opinion.
Whether in public or in private, Sudong and Guardiola are giving each other more respect and trust.
For Chelsea, Guardiola definitely hopes that the team can control the ball as much as possible, and finally press the opponent one-sidedly until they break Chelsea's goal position, but Sudong believes that from Chelsea's game against Bayern can be It can be seen that Chelsea are very good at playing such tactics.
"They are used to being pressed and played by their opponents, which helps them defend, so the two rounds against Bayern were very ugly, but Chelsea advanced to the final, not only because Bayern lacked the ability to break the game at crucial moments, but also The tenacity and tenacity of Chelsea."
"There is no doubt that Chelsea will still be on the defensive in this game, but I personally think that if we keep the ball firmly, like Bayern did, pressing Chelsea to half-time will not lead to Chelsea's entire formation. Very tight and tight, and our offense struggles to get space?"
Su Dong's words not only caused the players on the field to ponder, but even Guardiola and the coaching staff also showed a thoughtful look.
Many people think that Su Dong is just a player or the captain of the team, but in fact, he is a very thoughtful player, which makes him look very big on the court, and his running is also very cunning. Give your opponent a headache.
At the same time, he is also a strategist.
Su Dong is so broken, many teammates also feel that Chelsea may even welcome Manchester City to adopt such a tactic.
Pressing and pressing from a high position, moving the defense forward, and firmly locking the ball, this allows Chelsea to tighten the three lines logically. Everyone's mind is very unified and the goal is consistent.
Because they only have one way, and that is to defend and fight back.
"What do you mean?" Guardiola asked with a frown.
He was not dissatisfied with Su Dong's opinion, nor did he feel that Su Dong's opinion was a violation of his authority. His tone sounded more like he was discussing and exchanging opinions with Su Dong.
The rest of City's players are also used to their way of communicating.
The frown means Guardiola is thinking.
"I think we should give Chelsea more options." Su Dong laughed.
"Huh?" Guardiola didn't quite understand.
"To put it simply, we have moved the possession area back a little bit, reduced our effort in pressing and pressing in the midfield, and allowed Chelsea to have more chances to get the ball in the midfield, so that our possession rate will be less. Some, but the question is, what will Chelsea do when they get the ball in the midfield?"
Everyone suddenly realized.
Who said it wasn't?
Chelsea players get the ball, they will think it's a hot potato, kick it back to Manchester City with a big foot, and then beckon, buddies, keep attacking!
impossible?
After getting the ball, especially after stabilizing the ball in the midfield and backcourt, you definitely want to attack. At this time, can the players' mentality continue to remain unified? Can you stay united and stay focused?
For Manchester City, it is not difficult to get more ball possession in this game against Chelsea, and even more than 70% has a high probability, but the problem is that with too much ball possession, Chelsea focus on strict prevention Hold tight, can the team's offense be able to open?
Su Dong's idea is to reduce some possessions, give Chelsea more space, and let them have more different ideas, so that they will no longer be united to guard against the dead, they will have differences, and there will be differences. Mistakes, mistakes, and more chances for City.
Torrent and Estiyat glanced at each other, and both felt that Su Dong’s idea was not a problem from a strategic point of view. It could even be said to be very clever. It took advantage of Chelsea’s mind and the complexity of human nature. Opportunities must also be forced to create some opportunities.
But the problem is that the head coach of Manchester City is also very complicated. Guardiola, nicknamed Mr. Tangle, has an unusual obsession with possession. Will he be willing to transition some of the possession to Chelsea?
Of course, Su Dong's proposal is not completely risk-free.
As Su Dong said, reducing the pressing and pressing in the frontcourt, because Manchester City players are very flexible in movement, players are often out of position, which will inevitably lead to the team losing the ball. The defense will be very fragile, and at this time, it must be solved completely by the players' on-the-spot performance.
This can be said to go against Guardiola's philosophy.
That's the fun thing about football.
On the football field, there is never the so-called advantage or harmlessness, there are always only trade-offs and choices.
Offense and defense, technique and strength, possession and space...
Nothing is invincible!
