Chapitre 205: Chapter 205 Red And Blue Battle, Military Training Arnold!
The score was 1-1 after just 10 minutes, and it was clear this game was going to be anything but dull. Both teams showed no signs of slowing down, launching aggressive attacks into each other's territory.
Fans from both sides, as well as neutrals, were on the edge of their seats!
"Mane and Sturridge are putting pressure on Chelsea's defense. Liverpool quickly transitions from defense to attack!"
"Henderson, Keita, and Lallana try to get past Azpilicueta on the right..."
"Lallana delivers a cross! Sturridge's header lacks power!"
"Courtois makes a save! Chelsea is countering quickly!"
"Liverpool's high press isn't fully organized. Kante passes to Su Luo!"
"Fantastic! Su Luo controls the ball and dodges his former teammate Keita!"
"William is in an excellent position on the right. A pass to him could be advantageous!"
"William hesitates and doesn't move inside immediately. Liverpool's players are returning to their positions."
"It turns into a positional battle. Su Luo positions himself and quickly passes to Lukaku!"
"Lukaku's header!!"
"It's slightly off-target; it didn't test Karius..."
Liverpool immediately launches another quick attack.
Chelsea's players, having just advanced, are catching their breath and need to defend again.
Liverpool players are also running back and forth.
Both sides are creating several threatening chances without pausing for a moment!
In such a situation, the ability to seize opportunities becomes crucial.
When it comes to seizing opportunities, Su Luo is second to none!
In the 26th minute of the first half, after several transitions between attack and defense, Chelsea regained possession!
Su Luo dropped back to receive the ball and sent it directly to the right!
William was still in the backfield at this point, while Ajar was on the left.
So, who's on the right?
The answer was about to be revealed!
"Lukaku moves to the right! Receives Su Luo's pass... Speeds up and charges down the touchline!"
Though Lukaku is tall and strong, giving the impression of being slow, his pace is surprisingly quick!
"Milner initially underestimated the situation, thinking it would be enough to block Lukaku's inside movement."
"But once Lukaku started his sprint, he accelerated past Milner and left two defenders behind!"
"Milner couldn't even catch up!"
"Lukaku!! What speed! He's reached the edge of the penalty area!"
"Lovren rushes to defend! Lukaku cuts onto his left foot... and crosses?"
Typically, Lukaku would be the target in the middle, being the highest point.
So who will be there to capitalize?
Liverpool's players watched the middle, but saw a blue blur leaping over the penalty area at Anfield!
"Su Luo—"
Zhan Jun's eyes widened. Just moments ago, Su Luo was near midfield, and now he was crashing into the penalty area?
With explosive speed, Su Luo turned the momentum into force,
Slammed the ball with a powerful header!
Boom!
Swish!
The ball hit the net!
Karius could only make a futile attempt to save it!
The Anfield KOP stand fell into stunned silence!
"Outstanding Goal!!"
"The great Chinese captain delivers once again!"
"Chelsea takes the lead!"
Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor captured the moment perfectly!
This attack was sharp and precise!
Su Luo's positioning and Lukaku's cross were brilliantly executed.
As Su Luo often retreats to support the midfield, many had focused on his passing ability, overlooking his prowess in the box.
Lukaku's unexpected cross left Liverpool momentarily unprepared.
Su Luo's powerful header was like a weapon!
"What a goal!"
Klopp was seething, ready to throw his hat again.
Matip made a crucial error, failing to track Su Luo properly.
He was a beat late and got outjumped by Su Luo!
If Liverpool hopes to compete for the title or make an impact in the Champions League, they need a top-notch central defender—perhaps like Southampton's Van Dijk?
Compared to Su Luo's impactful header,
His celebration was understated.
He simply high-fived Lukaku.
This understated reaction made Liverpool players even more frustrated.
It seemed as though Su Luo didn't consider them a serious challenge.
After the kickoff,
Liverpool appeared anxious. Henderson's long-range shot sailed into the stands, and Chelsea launched another attack.
Su Luo, retreating to midfield, was tripped by Coutinho.
A free kick was awarded, but as Su Luo received the ball,
Henderson fouled him again!
Fortunately, after his injury last year, Su Luo had become more cautious. He used Ronaldinho's evasive skills to avoid further harm but lost his balance and fell.
The referee only gave Henderson a verbal warning for the foul.
Su Luo's two goals had clearly unsettled Liverpool.
Their formation had tightened, and they began to reinforce their midfield.
As the match progressed, Liverpool's players grew bolder in their tackles, testing the referee's standards repeatedly. Whenever Su Luo received the ball in midfield, he was immediately subjected to a fierce foul. Even his former teammate, Naby Keita, pushed him roughly to the ground.
"Sorry, Su Luo. This is a directive from the coach," Keita said apologetically.
"I understand," Su Luo replied, accepting the challenge.
It was clear that Klopp had instructed his team to make sure Su Luo couldn't play comfortably. With Su Luo effectively blocked, Chelsea's attack had to shift focus to the flanks.
Willian on the right struggled against Milner's defense and couldn't break through. Lukaku was too frequently pulled wide, and his effectiveness diminished when used in that role. On the left, Ajar faced a tough opponent in Liverpool's rookie, Alexander-Arnold, who defended exceptionally well and used his speed to outmaneuver Ajar.
Seeing the situation, Su Luo had an idea. He whispered a few instructions to Ajar, and in their next attack, the front line shifted positions.
"Ajar moved to the right, Willian took the center, and Su Luo drifted to the left," Director Zhang observed with interest.
Sky Sports commentator Carragher noted, "Su Luo is now challenging Arnold. Given that Arnold successfully defended against Ajar, it might be tough for Su Luo to break through."
Gary Neville, sitting beside Carragher, dismissed the concern. "Arnold is too inexperienced. Su Luo will teach him a lesson."
As Su Luo moved to the right, young Arnold positioned himself to defend. The anticipation was high among the audience. Liverpool's young star had boasted about his ability to contain Su Luo, and now they would face off directly.
Su Luo, calm and composed, dribbled the ball forward. He performed a few step-overs and then prepared to cut inside. Arnold quickly moved to cover him. But Su Luo executed a brilliant move, pulling the ball back and speeding away, leaving Arnold scrambling to catch up.
Arnold, determined not to let Su Luo get past him, chased hard, but Su Luo accelerated again, pulling away and entering the penalty area. Near the byline, Su Luo delivered an inverted triangle cross, but Karius managed to save Willian's shot.
Chelsea continued their attack, and Su Luo pulled to the left again. This time, he activated his special skills, channeling Ronaldinho's flair. He seemed to be moving in slow motion, and Arnold, overcommitted to one direction, fell to the ground as Su Luo smoothly pulled the ball back and cut into the penalty area.
Su Luo's shot from the edge of the area narrowly missed the goal, sending a shiver through Liverpool fans.
Arnold, lying on the ground, was left questioning how Su Luo had managed to outmaneuver him so effortlessly. The continuous pressure from Su Luo had finally opened a gap.
Just before halftime, Su Luo faced Arnold again. This time, Arnold was more cautious, blocking Su Luo's path. Su Luo, however, played a clever 45-degree diagonal pass that went over Lukaku's head and into the path of Hazard.
Liverpool players had focused on marking Lukaku, leaving Hazard unguarded.
"Ajar making a run! The flank is open!" the commentator exclaimed.
"One touch and it's in the net! 3-1!"
"Su Luo with the assist!"
"His vision is exceptional; he noticed Ajar's run and delivered a perfect pass!"
Arnold's earlier attempts to press Su Luo had backfired, making him hesitant.
"Chelsea are proving to be a bigger threat and can strike from various angles. Liverpool's attack, led mainly by Mane, lacks support from Sturridge and Lallana, so it will rely heavily on Coutinho in the second half."
Director Zhang predicted that Liverpool might struggle to come back, suggesting that only Manchester City might stand a chance against Chelsea and Su Luo in the Premier League.
