Bab 215: Chapter 215 0-Degree Angle Shot! Lori And Kane Are Stupid
Since switching to a 3-4-3 formation, Chelsea has been unstoppable. This tactical shift is still ahead of its time for the Premier League, leaving even the most renowned coaches struggling to find a way to counter it.
Under Conte's guidance, Su Luo has been completely unleashed, maximizing his potential on the field. A 6-0 victory over Leicester City and a 4-1 triumph against Manchester United were just the beginning.
In the 10th round of the Premier League, Chelsea faced Southampton away. Su Luo once again stole the show, scoring a hat-trick and setting up two more goals. Chelsea crushed Southampton 5-0.
After the match, Southampton's coach, Claude Puel, could only manage a wry smile. "Chelsea is unstoppable right now, and Su Luo is simply uncontainable," he admitted.
Just four days later, in the UEFA Champions League group stage, Bayer Leverkusen traveled to London to challenge Chelsea. Having already lost 4-0 at home, Bayer had little hope at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea showed no mercy, securing another 5-0 victory.
Su Luo was instrumental once again, scoring two goals, providing two assists, and orchestrating another goal. With 9 goals in two games, Chelsea had thoroughly dominated Leverkusen, solidifying Su Luo's reputation as their nemesis.
After just four Champions League group stage matches, Su Luo had already racked up 10 goals and 4 assists, sitting comfortably at the top of both scoring and assist charts. Messi and Ronaldo could only watch as Su Luo continued to outshine them.
Messi took it in stride, while Ronaldo, after a conversation with Zidane, shifted his focus back to his own game. For them, the Champions League title was all that truly mattered.
Meanwhile, in Group C, dubbed the "Group of Death," Barcelona swept aside Manchester City 3-0, with Messi scoring twice. City's focus on the Premier League had left them vulnerable in Europe, but they were still expected to qualify from the group alongside Dortmund and Celtic.
In contrast, Ronaldo scored in East Berlin, but Union Berlin narrowly defeated Real Madrid 3-2 at home. Salah's hat-trick showcased his growing strength, suggesting he could become Union Berlin's new star in the "post-Su Luo era."
Union Berlin's executives had Su Luo to thank for recommending such a talented player. Salah had partly chosen to join Union Berlin because of Su Luo's influence, wanting to witness firsthand the environment that had produced a world-class superstar in just three years.
Back in the Premier League, Chelsea's momentum continued. In the 11th round, they defeated Everton 3-0 at home, with Su Luo contributing both a goal and an assist, helping Chelsea maintain their lead.
While Chelsea cruised, Manchester City was clearly under pressure. They managed a last-minute 2-1 victory over Middlesbrough, with De Bruyne scoring a free-kick in stoppage time, keeping pace with Chelsea. However, it was evident that City was struggling to keep up with the relentless Blues. Guardiola, visibly frustrated, kept scratching his head as he watched Aguero's form decline. He knew they needed a strong center forward, a goal machine like Su Luo, but the 16-year-old Haaland was still in the youth leagues in Norway.
In the 12th round, Chelsea faced Middlesbrough again, but unlike City's narrow win, Chelsea delivered a masterclass. Su Luo scored two stunning long-range goals in the first half and completed his hat-trick with a brilliant shot in the second half. Chelsea thrashed Middlesbrough 4-0, securing their 12th consecutive Premier League victory.
Middlesbrough's manager, Aitor Karanka, was left in despair after the match. "I'd rather face Manchester City than this Chelsea team," he admitted. "Su Luo is the best player in the Premier League. It's just too painful to play against him—you never know how he'll score."
A week later, Karanka was sacked, becoming yet another victim of Su Luo's "coach killer" reputation. Coaches of lower and mid-tier Premier League teams, who hadn't yet faced Chelsea, began to tremble at the thought of their upcoming matches.
Back in the Champions League, Chelsea rotated their squad for their fifth group stage match against Monaco, winning 2-0. With a crucial Premier League match against Tottenham looming in just three days, Conte rested several key players, including Kante, Rudiger, Lukaku, and Azpilicueta. Su Luo, however, returned to the center forward position after a brief absence.
Meanwhile, an unremarkable 17-year-old made his first start for Monaco. None of the commentators, except for Su Luo, seemed to notice him—his name was Kylian Mbappe.
At this time, Mbappe was quick, but his ball control was still rough. Chelsea's experienced defender, Ivanovic, easily neutralized him. But there were moments when Mbappe's speed was breathtaking, and in those flashes, Su Luo saw a hint of his own prime.
"Is this kid destined to be one of the football greats in the post-Messi-Ronaldo era?" Su Luo wondered aloud.
"What are you looking at?" Mbappe noticed Su Luo staring at him and, full of youthful defiance, asked, "You think I'm not good enough?"
"Nothing, just thinking you remind me of a young player," Su Luo replied with a smirk.
"Hmph, aren't you young too?" Mbappe shot back.
Less than a minute later, Su Luo stunned everyone, including Mbappe, with a spectacular sideways volley that left the crowd in awe.
Mbappe, taken aback, could only mutter, "C'est pas possible?! How is this even possible?"
Su Luo's goal inspired Mbappe to double down on his training, determined to one day become a player of such caliber.
In the 13th round of the Premier League, Chelsea faced Tottenham Hotspur at home. This "London Derby" was not just about local pride; it also set the stage for Chelsea's upcoming clash with Manchester City. If Tottenham managed to trouble Chelsea, Manchester City would gain a significant advantage in the title race.
Championships often hinge on one or two key battles, where taking the lead can make all the difference. For Chelsea, this game was crucial. If their winning streak was broken, it could be tough to regain momentum.
The English media spotlighted the Chelsea vs. Tottenham match as the highlight of the round. Harry Kane, currently second in the scoring charts, was the pride of English strikers. For many in England, it was hard to accept a Chinese player dominating the Premier League so effortlessly. If Tottenham could beat Chelsea and Kane scored, it would prove that English players could still outshine Su Luo—even if the goal gap between Kane and Su Luo was already more than ten goals.
Harry Kane had scored 12 goals in 12 league games so far, while Su Luo had scored 24. The comparison was almost laughable. Su Luo had more goals than Kane and Aguero combined. Tottenham's second-leading scorer, Son Heung-min, was barely acknowledged by the media outside Korea.
Since joining Tottenham, Son Heung-min had shown himself to be a top Asian player, forming a deadly partnership with Kane. Tottenham was ranked third this season, behind only Manchester City and Liverpool, and Son's contributions were significant. Without Su Luo in the picture, Son might have been Asia's top player. But with Su Luo around, Son was forever in his shadow.
The so-called "Asia's No. 1" debate had ended two years ago, with Su Luo's performances utterly eclipsing Son. Even the most die-hard Korean fans had to admit that Su Luo was the best player in Asia. Korean netizens were bitter, lamenting that Su Luo wasn't one of their own. Some extreme Korean media even tried to argue, using historical data, that Su Luo might have Korean ancestry.
Chinese netizens, amused by these antics, simply laughed it off. The idea that Korea could now claim Su Luo was just another example of their desperation. As the "East Asian Derby" approached, Chinese fans hoped Su Luo would play his best and teach Tottenham a lesson.
Amidst all the on-field and off-field drama, the battle between Chelsea and Tottenham was about to begin.
"Conte has stuck with the 3-4-3 formation, and this match will test its effectiveness against tough opponents," the commentator noted. "From what we've seen in the first half, the 3-4-3 is clearly a sophisticated tactic. Chelsea's high pressing has made it difficult for Tottenham to create opportunities, and Chelsea's attack has been relentless."
"In just 15 minutes, Chelsea has already created five serious threats."
"Su Luo just delivered a perfect cross from the right, nearly setting up Lukaku for a goal!"
"Here he goes again! Su Luo continues to torment Tottenham's defense from the wing!"
"Beautiful move! Su Luo's oxtail flick near the byline completely fooled Vertonghen!"
"And what a shot! From a near-zero angle, Lloris didn't see that coming!"
"GOAL!! In the 17th minute of the first half, Su Luo's sharp shot from a near-impossible angle finds the back of the net! Chelsea leads by one!"
Tottenham's players were stunned. Harry Kane's eyes bulged as he grabbed the back of his head in disbelief.
This Chinese player—how do you stop him?
