Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Su Luo's Comeback? The Medical Miracle Of Nightclubs!
"Huh? Su, what are you doing here?"
At the gates of Berghain, it was the busiest time of day. The thumping rhythm from inside the abandoned factory was muffled yet pulsating. A queue of fashionable young men and women waited outside the door.
Ever since Su Luo's first visit, this nightclub had become incredibly popular. Even celebrities like Lady Gaga frequented it. But today, Su Luo's unique style drew even more attention, as he arrived in a wheelchair wearing a hospital gown.
The burly black security guards looked bewildered. Just this afternoon, Su Luo was rumored to be out for the season, and now he was at a nightclub?
"I was feeling a bit bored and wanted to relax," Su Luo replied casually.
"Well, you're kind of one of us. Go on in," the security guard relented.
He cautioned Su Luo sternly, "No mischief, no drinking. Feel the vibe and head back."
Ignoring the warning, Su Luo wheeled himself into the hall. The chaotic, dimly lit space with purple lights and pulsating bass strangely put him at ease. As he passed, the crowd parted like the Red Sea, astonished by the sight of a wheelchair-bound person.
In the middle of the dance floor, Su Luo settled down peacefully, closing his eyes to focus on his illusions.
"Link_Start!"
He felt remarkably relaxed, even making a playful reference to Sword Art Online.
Soon, a serene feeling swept over him. In his mind's eye, the dance floor transformed into a green field. Harland mowed the grass, Ronaldo napped on the sidelines, and De Bruyne and Inzaghi passed the ball to each other.
The phantom of the fifth star remained elusive, progress stalled at about 10%. Su Luo estimated it might unlock by the end of the season unless he played a match akin to a Champions League final.
But what mattered most was that Su Luo now stood on the pitch, legs free of injury. He sensed a steady flow of energy gathering around his knees.
"Is it really healing?" Su Luo wondered aloud, finally feeling at ease. As long as he recovered quickly without any complications, he could continue playing with passion.
Hooked on football, Su Luo couldn't resist pulling Da Luo and the others into a game together. It was Union Berlin versus a fantasy version of Bayern Munich!
After an exhilarating match, Su Luo lay content on the grass. From now on, daily training sessions at the nightclub would keep him in top shape for his return.
However, unbeknownst to him, patrons had already snapped photos of Su Luo on the dance floor and posted them on Twitter.
#Germany's Genius in a Wheelchair trended quickly, sparking widespread interest. A player just sidelined for the season was now seen at a nightclub in a wheelchair—his dedication moved many.
The next day, in the hospital bed, Su Luo faced a furious Josephine, who was tapping her phone furiously.
"You sent me away just to come here and play?" she scolded.
"No, I wanted you to rest well. You've got dark circles under your eyes," Su Luo replied calmly.
"You!" Josephine was exasperated.
"What about your injury?" she pressed.
"I'm okay. I'm always in the wheelchair," Su Luo assured her.
Josephine tried to protest but was silenced as Su Luo hugged her. Several attempts to speak were muffled by Su Luo's hand.
Eventually, she melted into his embrace.
"Do you still want to talk?" Su Luo asked gently.
She blushed and shook her head.
"Alright then. Don't worry; I know what I'm doing."
Meanwhile, the German media exploded with reports of Su Luo dancing in a nightclub in a wheelchair. Tabloids labeled it unprecedented— a 17-year-old star player visiting a nightclub in such a state.
German football icon Franz Beckenbauer even weighed in, questioning Su Luo's professionalism and criticizing his injury management.
Fortunately, Union Berlin kept Su Luo's rapid recovery under wraps. His knees healed at a remarkable speed, leaving doctors astounded.
"How did you manage this?" they wondered, almost wanting to study Su Luo like Deadpool or Wolverine.
Since that night at the nightclub, Su Luo would sneak out whenever possible. Training in the illusions there accelerated his recovery tremendously.
Josephine eventually joined him at the nightclub, and even Taylor Swift and Erica Schmidt expressed concern for Su Luo's injury.
By the end of November, Su Luo could walk again without issues, his recovery resembling that of a rocket. It seemed likely he would return before the winter break—a staggering feat in the football world.
However, Union Berlin faced challenges in the Bundesliga without Su Luo. A three-game losing streak dropped them from the top standings.
As it stood, they had 7 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses in 12 games, ranking temporarily 8th with 23 points. Wolfsburg followed closely with 8 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses, securing 25 points and the second spot.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich led the league with 8 wins and 4 draws, totaling 28 points. Guardiola's team remained unbeaten after 12 rounds, positioning themselves as Bundesliga favorites.
Yet unpredictability loomed over the season—a fact known all too well in football.
It's clear that Bayern fans are still basking in their confidence.
In the 13th round of the league, Yin Rong remained seated in the stands.
The remnants of Union Berlin traveled to the Volkswagen Arena for an away match against their direct rivals, Wolfsburg.
The game unfolded with a consistent rhythm. Having already faced each other in a cup match, Wolfsburg was well-prepared and started with aggressive dominance.
De Bruyne eagerly awaited Su Luo's return, but in his absence, he vented his frustration on Union Berlin.
"De Bruyne!! What a visionary pass!"
"Olić scores with a header!"
"Wolfsburg lead 1-0 at home!"
"... De Bruyne again! He dribbles through and delivers an inverted triangle pass into the penalty area!"
"Hunde!! It's a goal!"
"2-0!!!"
"Glarish!! A very threatening counterattack! Silvio scores with an assist!"
"Union Berlin equalizes at 2-1!"
Unfortunately, without Su Luo leading their forward line, Union Berlin struggled to capitalize on opportunities.
The game ended 2-1 in favor of Wolfsburg, who secured 3 points at home, seeking revenge for their cup elimination.
This widened Union Berlin's deficit to 5 points from Bayern and Wolfsburg.
At this moment, Iron League fans started feeling concerned. What if they faced another four-game losing streak?
In the 14th round of the Bundesliga, Union Berlin would face another formidable opponent at the Signal Iduna Park—the Hornets of Dortmund!
A lean camel may be larger than a horse, and Dortmund was far from finished! Though they hadn't reached the heights of their 2011-2012 peak, Klopp's team remained a force to be reckoned with in the Bundesliga.
Besides Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg, Dortmund showed no fear of other teams this season.
Leading striker Aubameyang had already scored 7 goals, ranking fourth in the league's top scorers list!
Only Meyer from Frankfurt, Bayern's Robben, and Lewandowski ranked higher.
Aubameyang posed a significant threat to Union Berlin's defense!
Coupled with Luo Yi Si, Mkhitaryan, and Shinji Kagawa—returning from Manchester United—forming a potent attacking trio.
Their midfield, marshaled by Sven Bender, Kyle, and Hummels, added further depth.
Without Su Luo, Union Berlin faced an uphill battle.
With a week until the match, Dortmund fans were most pleased.
Dortmund had a rough start to the season, currently trailing Bayern by 10 points.
A win against Union Berlin would narrow the gap to 7 points!
The league was far from decided!
If they performed strongly in the second half, they might just overtake Bayern and reclaim former glory!
Klopp and his Dortmund squad were gearing up for this clash, determined to capitalize on Su Luo's absence.
Klopp declared, "Without Su Luo, Union Berlin is a different team. Their game style and morale have completely shifted. Relying on Su Luo made them predictable. We must secure all 3 points! This season's championship still has hope!"
Uncle Klopp exuded confidence!
Star player Luo Yi Si also chimed in during an interview, "Su Luo's injury is truly heartbreaking. I've experienced many injuries myself, so I understand his plight. But we're rivals! We need to trample Union Berlin!"
"So, sorry, Su, but we're going to defeat your team. When you return in the second half, we'll determine the winner in a fair match!"
This game sparked discussions even in the island's media.
The debate about "Asia's Number One Brother," which had stirred up in Bangzi Country before, ended with Sun Xingmin's crushing defeat.
Bangzi Country fell silent.
After Su Luo's injury, it was time for Daoguo to claim the title.
"Actually, our Yamato is Asia's number one!"
"Besides Kagawa-kun, we have 12 players—including Atsuto Uchida, Shinji Okazaki, Hiroki Sakai, Yuto Nagatomo, and Keisuke Honda—playing key roles in European clubs."
"Kagawa-kun's personal achievements surpass those of Su Luo."
"In this game, even without Su Luo, Kagawa will prove it!"
The island's media brimmed with confidence, touting Dortmund's upcoming triumph over Union Berlin!
Had Su Luo been present, they wouldn't have dared to boast—fearing a harsh backlash.
Shinji Kagawa couldn't tolerate their bragging.
"I'm deeply concerned about Su Jun's injury and hope he returns to the field soon."
"As for being Asia's number one, I've never cared for such titles."
"In my view, Su Jun's achievements will surpass mine by far."
"He'll surely claim Asia's top spot in the future."
"Yet, whether with or without him, I'm fully committed to helping the team defeat Union Berlin."
Kagawa Shinji's words resonated with Chinese fans.
However, the island's media continued to amplify their voice louder than Bangzi Country's.
And it was challenging for Chinese netizens to argue against it.
Their national team's football level was indeed nothing to boast about compared to the many European players in action.
It stung!
"If only Su Luo were here! He'd teach those arrogant kids a lesson or two."
Su Luo's cousin Zhen Qian posted this on Weibo.
Recently, with Su Luo injured, the family was deeply concerned.
As his most ardent supporter, she sincerely hoped Su Luo would soon dominate the field again!
Zhen Qian's post drew responses from numerous netizens.
"Yeah, things would be different if Su Luo were here."
"Unfortunately, it looks like he might be out for the season."
"Just two days ago, he was discoing at a nightclub. His comeback might not be so straightforward."
As netizens continued their discussion in Zhen Qian's comments, someone suddenly exclaimed,
"Damn! Su Luo's return is trending!"
"What?!"
Zhen Qian quickly checked the trending topics!
Ranked first was none other than: #SuLuoReturns to Battle Dortmund!
Next to it, in bold red, were the words "Trending Explosion!"
