Four Hundred and Sixty-Six Messi, I Cover You!

See Drogba again, the high center from Cote d'Ivoire is already a famous star in Europe.

Su Dong still clearly remembers that after the encounter in the Champions League group stage, Drogba once said a cruel word, saying that when they meet again, they must defeat Su Dong. .

And Drogba has also emerged from a little-known center in the Ligue 1 back then and has become a famous number one in world football, although many people are now controversial about him, thinking that his footwork is too rough.

Especially when compared to a superstar like Su Dong.

Drogba met Su Dong during pre-match training. The Ivorian laughed and showed his white teeth.

The two didn't have time to come together until they finished their pre-match training and walked to the locker room.

"I heard that you threatened to kill me in the media, and you have been very bold recently." Su Dong pretended to threaten.

Not to be outdone, Drogba nodded defiantly, "What do you think?"

Both of them laughed in unison.

It is really strange to say that Su Dong has encountered many outstanding strikers in recent years, but he is the most compatible with Drogba.

In terms of technical characteristics, Su Dong is actually more similar to Ibrahimovic of Juventus, but the Swedish center is always dragging like something, and Su Dong has a bad impression of him.

But Drogba is different. Although the two have only fought twice on the court, Drogba left a very good impression on Sudong.

This may have something to do with Drogba's style and character.

The fate between people is sometimes so strange.

Just like Carvalho and Ferreira, when they saw Su Dong, the expressions on their faces were obviously a little unnatural, and their hearts were stunned.

As early as in the Portuguese Super League, they both suffered from Su Dong, and now they naturally don't want to have more contact with him before the game.

But Su Dong still waved to the two of them from a distance and greeted them with a smile.

Carvalho and Ferreira avoided Su Dong like the plague god, and walked faster.

Seeing their appearance, Su Dong couldn't help laughing and looked at Drogba again.

"Remember Senderos?"

"certainly."

"He said he played three games with you, the first two times you had an advantage, and the last time he taught you a lesson."

"Fart!" Drogba was a little annoyed. "The boy's legs are weak when he sees me. I just missed a good opportunity and didn't score a goal. What kind of lesson is that?"

"I think so too, so I taught him a lesson for you. I guess he will have a better memory in the future."

When Drogba heard this, he was a little puzzled. Why did he think Su Dong was not so kind?

Sure enough, Su Dong quickly changed the conversation, "If you encounter such uncertain things in the future, you can tell me, and I will find a chance to help you out and let others know that you are not easy to bully."

Drogba stopped immediately and pointed at Su Dong angrily and hilariously, this is shameless!

Look, does this sound like human words?

I can't figure it out until I find you?

Do I need to do this?

Su Dong looked at Drogba's expression, and laughed out loud, as if he was taking credit, look, am I enough buddy?

Drogba managed to hold back his laughter,

Pointing at Su Dong, he nodded and said, "Originally you were only half-crippled, but now, you are dead!"

After that, Drogba simply didn't play tricks with him and left.

He finally knew now why Carvalho and Ferreira were hiding from Su Dong.

If you talk to this guy, you will be pissed to death!

Is there such a thing as standing upright and taking advantage of others?

The referee for this Champions League final is Terje Hauge from Norway.

Hauge had a grudge with Chelsea, so Mourinho made that remark before the game, trying to put some pressure on Hauge to be a little merciful when he enforced the law during the game.

But judging from Hauge's response in an interview with the media before the game, he was still impartial.

Of course, the specific situation depends on the trend of the game.

The referee officiating a game is actually an art. In many cases, balance and the brilliance of the game must be considered.

...

Barcelona's starting lineup for this game is still the four-three-three formation.

Goalkeeper Valdes, Van Bronckhorst, Marcos, Puyol and Belletti in the back line, Marcos Senna in the middle, Deco and Iniesta in the middle, Ronaldo in the front A combination of Dinho, Sudong and Messi.

Although Xavi has come back from injury and started to play, from the point of view of the game, Xavi has not fully recovered to the best state, which made Rijkaard dare not rashly arrange him to start, but put him in the A roster of 18 was made to serve as a substitute.

There are basically no changes in the other positions, all of which are Barcelona's regular main lineup.

Chelsea's starting lineup is also a four-three-three formation.

The goalkeeper is Cech, the defense is Gallas, Carvalho, Terry and Ferreira, the midfield is Lampard, Makelele and Essien, and the front is Robben, Drogba and Duff. Trident combination.

Chelsea's starting lineup can be said to be star-studded, but there are still European stars such as Crespo, Wright Phillips, Maniche, Good Johnson and Joe Cole on the bench. The overall strength can be described as very strong.

It is not difficult to see from the starting lineup alone that Barcelona still wants to maintain their traditional advantages, relying on passing and controlling the ball to gain the advantage of the game scene, and then suppress Chelsea.

Mourinho wants to deal with Barcelona with a defensive counterattack, and even hesitant to put out a combination of fierce men such as Lampard, Makelele and Essien in the midfield.

Not only that, on the back line, Ferreira on the right has always been quite satisfactory, and Gallas on the left instead of Del Horno, it can still be seen that Mourinho is still quite a bit of Barcelona's two flanks. for fear.

This also brings up a question, can Messi do it?

...

When the players of the two teams walked out of the locker room one after another, came to the exit of the player tunnel, and waited to enter, Su Dong noticed the strangeness in Messi's expression, especially after he glanced at Chelsea's lineup, his eyes fell on Jia on Russ.

"What's the matter?" Su Dong stretched out his hand and pressed Messi's head.

The Argentine boy's hair is getting longer and longer, and his hands are getting better and better.

Messi turned his head and looked at Su Dong with a smile, "It's nothing."

Su Dong noticed it.

This is Messi's first start in a Champions League final, having been a substitute last season.

Not only that, he was just a fledgling kid last season, and AC Milan didn't pay much attention to him, but this season is different, from Mourinho letting Gallas play on the left, it's not hard to see that Chelsea's response to May on the right is different. West takes it very seriously.

This will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of Messi's game on the right.

"I competed with him." Su Dong said suddenly.

Messi was a little surprised. When he looked at Su Dong, he found that Su Dong was looking at Gallas, and immediately understood that his mind was seen through by Su Dong.

"He's strong!" Messi said.

Su Dong nodded, "It's really strong, but I think you're stronger than him!"

Messi was surprised.

Will he be stronger than Gallas?

"Don't think I'm trying to coax you on purpose. Nuno Cruz told me that your physical fitness is already very good. Although you are not tall, it is enough to adapt to the intensity of professional football. For you, it is already very difficult."

Messi, Iniesta, Marcos Senna, these three players who have trained with Sudong have one thing in common, that is, they are hardly injured.

The reason is very simple, Su Dong's personal trainer team attaches great importance to this aspect.

When Su Dong first joined, Messi was still sick and short and thin, but now, Messi's physical confrontation cannot be said to be very strong, but at least in such top-level competitions, there is no problem in self-protection, and he will never be bullied by the opponent. .

"Meeting an opponent like Gallas will be a very valuable experience. Don't think about anything, just focus on the game, how to play normally, how to play now, use your own advantages, and kill him!" Su Dong encouraged.

Messi took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"Don't worry, after the opening, we must stabilize first, you can find the rhythm and feeling."

Barcelona is a pass-and-control team. Generally speaking, the first thing to do after the opening is to control the football and rhythm, and then slowly find opportunities to attack the opponent.

This is why Barcelona has a high ball possession rate in every game, not only because of the relationship between the team's strength and player ability, but also because of the team's tactical concept.

But it is precisely because of this that Barcelona rarely plays that kind of opening attack.

Even most games start with the opponent attacking.

"With me covering you, let go of your hands and feet, you can do it!" Su Dong touched Messi's head and encouraged.

…………

…………

Amid the cheers of 80,000 fans, Haug blew the whistle to start the game.

Sure enough, although Barcelona took the lead in kick-off, Chelsea's opening attack was more determined.

In just a minute or so, Chelsea were on the left side of the frontcourt. Robben created a free kick and quickly cooperated with Lampard. Lampard broke into the left side of the penalty area and kicked the goal high.

A minute later, Barcelona counterattacked, and Deco picked a pass to Sudong.

After Su Dong stopped the ball with his back, he turned to get rid of Carvalho and sent a straight pass.

Messi quickly plugged in, but under the interference of Gallas, he reluctantly kicked a long shot and failed to pose a threat.

Su Dong ran over to meet Messi who came back, and gave him a high five with a smile, "Nice job."

Messi also smiled.

"Look for the rhythm slowly, don't worry, don't be nervous!" Su Dong encouraged again.

Messi sighed heavily and nodded in agreement.

He was always trying to find a rhythm.

After catching up with Su Dong's direct pass just now, his dribbling pace was a bit chaotic, which led to being caught up by Gallas.

This is indeed a pity.

But in turn, it proves that what Su Dong said, Gallas is actually not terrible.

Chelsea was not intimidated by Barcelona's long-range shot, and continued to instigate the attack.

Drogba twice fell into the offside trap of Barcelona, ​​which made the Ivorian a little annoyed.

On the contrary, Lampard quickly seized the opportunity and kicked a long shot again.

The England midfielder has taken all of Chelsea's opening chances and is also one of Chelsea's top scorers this season, scoring 16 goals in the Premier League.

This is quite amazing for a midfielder!

And everyone can see that Chelsea played very actively after the opening.

On the contrary, Barcelona, ​​a little conservative, is catching the pass and controlling the ball as always.
