Chapter 493 The Curtain Is Over!
When the whole world was waiting with anticipation for Su Dong to go to court with Barcelona, the Barcelona chairman Russell held a press conference the day before the trial, officially announcing Su Dong's withdrawal of the lawsuit.
Russell explained at the press conference that he believed that various misunderstandings between Barcelona and Su Dong led to today's embarrassing situation, which was not what the two sides wanted to see.
Rosell, on behalf of Barcelona, thanked Su Dong for his outstanding contributions to Barcelona over the past two years. He believed that Su Dong was one of the most successful signings in Barcelona's history. However, after the management struggled to retain Su Dong, he still decided to leave. Therefore, Barcelona decided to negotiate with Su Dong friendly and terminate the current contract by paying a termination fee.
According to the agreement between the two parties, Su Dong will officially resume his free life from January [-], [-].
Russell delivered a sincere speech, expressing his gratitude to Su Dong, and also hoped that he can achieve outstanding results in the future. At the same time, he also promised to all Barcelona fans that the club will not have problems because of the loss of Su Dong.
"We will introduce better players to fill the vacancy left by Sudong."
Russell's words exploded on the spot.
Although all the media received some rumors early, they were still extremely shocked.
Su Dong actually paid the termination fee to redeem his free body, so how much did he pay?
Facing the question from the media, Russell solemnly stated that this involves confidentiality and will not be announced to the public.
For a time, the media had different opinions.
World Sports Daily stated that Su Dong paid a termination fee of 5000 million euros, and a large part of this money came from a mysterious consortium in China, and part of it was paid by Su Dong himself.
But soon, AS reported a news that Su Dong’s termination fee was not as high as the World Sports Daily said. In fact, after [-] million euros, Barcelona waived most of the termination fee, provided that Su Dong must withdraw the lawsuit against Barcelona.
The Marca newspaper also revealed that the specific termination amount was between 8000 million euros and [-] million euros, and no accurate figures were obtained.
However, the Daily Sports Daily vowed that Su Dong's termination fee exceeded [-] million euros.
There was a lot of discussion from the outside world, but the whole world knew the specific termination amount. There were no more than five members of Barcelona's management, all of whom were core members of Roselle. There were no more than five members of Su Dong's side, all of whom were core members of the management team. There was also La Liga.
Laporta, the opponent of Barcelona's board of directors, bombarded Russell in the media, thinking that he was the murderer who forced Su Dong away.
"I've always known that he just wants to force Su Dong away, and he doesn't even think about the team's results!"
Laporta was also dissatisfied with Russell's intentional concealment of Sudong's termination fee, and expressed that he would launch an attack on the board of directors, demanding an explanation from Russell and revealing the specific termination amount.
……
Su Dong still did not come forward, but agent Mendes came forward on behalf of Su Dong and accepted the media interview.
Mendes also did not disclose the specific termination amount, only that this is a satisfactory result.
But Mendes also said that Sudong regretted and regretted leaving Barcelona.
"He is very happy playing here. He originally hoped to play here for a longer period of time, or even retire, because there is a group of very good teammates here, and they cooperate very happily, but unfortunately, some off-field factors forced him to leave."
And when a media reporter asked which team paid the termination fee for Sudong, Mendes smiled and shook his head and said that no team paid the termination fee for Sudong.
"The money is paid out of Su Dong's own pocket!"
The media was shocked again.
I know that Su Dong is the most profitable football star in the world, but I never knew that his ability to absorb money is so terrifying that he paid a termination fee of over [-] million out of his own pocket?
It's just unbelievable!
Especially after digging by the media, it was discovered that Su Dong didn't even sell his villa in the western suburbs of Barcelona, so how rich is he?
…………
…………
Although he has already decided to leave Barcelona during the winter break, Su Dong still found the head coach Rijkaard and told him clearly that as long as Barcelona needs him, he will still work hard for Barcelona in every game before leaving.
Rijkaard praised his attitude, but also promised to continue to let him play.
To put it bluntly, Good Johnson's scoring ability is not good, and now Barcelona still needs Su Dong very much.
Later, Su Dong communicated with Puyol, Ronaldinho, and other teammates in the locker room one after another, announced that he would leave the team during the winter break, and promised that he would still try his best to play.
……
On the weekend, in the tenth round of La Liga, Barcelona played against Zaragoza at home.
Affected by Su Dong's imminent departure from the team, the Barcelona fans at the scene once again "attacked" Su Dong violently, but Su Dong remained unmoved and still scored a goal in the game and assisted Ronaldinho to score.
In the end, Barcelona defeated Zaragoza [-]-[-] at home.
……
A week later, in the No.11 round of La Liga, Barcelona challenged Mallorca away.
Before the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half, Su Dong scored two goals for Barcelona, helping Barcelona beat Real Mallorca [-]-[-] away and scored three points again.
It is worth mentioning that it was Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o who scored for Real Mallorca. This striker has also been linked with Barcelona recently. It is reported that he will transfer to Barcelona during the winter break to replace Sudong.
……
In the middle of the week, in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, Barcelona challenged Sofia Levski away.
Su Dong scored twice to help Barcelona beat the Bulgarian opponent [-]-[-] in the away game and successfully qualified as the top of the group.
Three days later, back to Barcelona, Villarreal ushered in at home, Sudong made two passes and one shot, Barcelona beat Villarreal [-]-[-].
……
After playing the No.12 round of La Liga, the selection of the European Ballon d'Or was ushered in.
After all, it was the World Cup year, and Su Dong finally failed to win Cannavaro in the selection.
The Italian captain eventually won the Ballon d'Or, preventing Su Dong's three consecutive championships.
However, this is also reasonable. After all, in major competition years, especially World Cup years, the performance in the World Cup is often considered.
Su Dong failed to participate in the World Cup, and it is understandable to lose the Golden Globe.
On the contrary, Cannavaro performed well at Juventus, but his performance at Real Madrid was very mediocre. This also made everyone think that he was more of a captain, representing the Italian team to receive the Golden Globe Award, rather than an individual award.
Su Dong ranked second, Zidane ranked third, neither of them could win the World Cup.
However, due to the uproar over the termination of the contract with Barcelona, Su Dong was absent from the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.
……
On the weekend, in the No.13 round of La Liga, Barcelona challenged Levante away.
Rijkaard's team has obviously ushered in a low period of state, and their performance in the away game is very sluggish.
In the end, Sudong assisted Messi to score a goal, but Barcelona still drew [-]-[-] away with Levante.
In the sixth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage three days later, Su Dong started again, kicked his head and scored twice, helping Barcelona beat Werder Bremen [-]-[-].
After returning to La Liga, Barcelona ushered in the No.14 round at the weekend, playing against Real Sociedad at home.
In the first seven or 10 minutes, Barcelona couldn't attack for a long time. It was not until Su Dong came off the bench that at the end of the game, Su Dong scored a goal to help Barcelona beat Real Sociedad [-]-[-] at home.
……
In the No.15 round of La Liga, it was Su Dong's goal that helped Barcelona draw Real Betis [-]-[-] away.
Barcelona's decline has become very obvious, and the entire team is now relying entirely on Su Dong's goals to support them.
Ronaldinho has been exposed to nightclub turmoil many times this season, and Deco and other Brazilian players have also participated in it. This makes everyone clearly see the reason for the decline of the Brazilian superstar.
Especially the recent rounds of downturn have made people very worried. Can Ronaldinho be able to provoke the burden left by Su Dong after leaving the team?
Both the Daily Sports Daily and the World Sports Daily have commented successively, whether it is possible to retain Su Dong after the end of the season?
But this appeal did not get any response from the club and Sudong.
On the contrary, it was Su Dong's agent, Mendes, who frequently contacted other European giants, which convinced everyone that it was imperative for Su Dong to leave the team.
……
In the No.16 round of La Liga, Barcelona played against Atletico Madrid at home.
Since Su Dong has decided to leave the team during the winter break, there is no need to follow the team to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup.
Therefore, this game against Atletico Madrid will be Su Dong's last game in Barcelona.
As a virgin man with a perfectionist complex, Su Dong also hopes that his Barcelona career will have a beginning and an end.
In the 19th minute of the first half, Ronaldinho made a diagonal pass to the right side of the penalty area. Messi made a half-high pass. Su Dong rushed forward and scored with a header from close range, opening the scoring for Barcelona.
Before the end of the first half, Su Dong volleyed near the penalty spot with a wonderful pass from Ronaldinho and scored again.
Two to zero!
Although Atletico Madrid launched waves of onslaughts in the second half and scored a goal, in the end Barcelona still relied on Su Dong's brace to beat the visiting Atletico Madrid [-]-[-], ending all the games at the Nou Camp in [-].
After playing this game, Barcelona will leave for Japan to participate in the Club World Cup.
Su Dong will continue to stay in Barcelona.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Su Dong silently walked towards his teammates.
He hugged his teammates one by one and thanked them. Then he walked slowly towards the stands around the Nou Camp Stadium. In front of the stands, he bowed and thanked all the Barcelona fans. Finally, he came to the coach's bench, hugged Rijkaard and others, and thanked Rijkaard for his support and trust.
Everyone in the audience knew that he was saying goodbye!
Even the radical fans who crazily booed him before couldn't hate him at this moment, and even many Barcelona fans covered their faces and wept.
Perhaps, each of them will ask themselves in their hearts, what is the reason that forced Su Dong to leave Barcelona?
This is a difficult question to answer.
But anyway, Su Dong has decided to leave.
After embracing the coaching staff and teammates on the bench, Su Dong stood at the entrance of the player channel, faced the audience again, and bowed deeply to express his gratitude.
Then, he walked into the player tunnel without looking back.
His Barcelona era is over!
