章 138: Chapter 138 Buffon Is Stunned By The Inverse Foot World Wave! A Bloody Counterattack!
Union Berlin hit the goal with their first kick, almost causing heart attacks among Juventus fans. Su Luo's sharp sword, if sheathed, could be destroyed, but once unsheathed, it would destroy the world!
Fortunately, Buffon, an SSS-level goalkeeper, blocked Su Luo's killer attack!
After the ball, Allegri couldn't hold back anymore and rushed to the field, shouting:
"What are you doing? Mark your men!"
Allegri gestured wildly with his hands, questioning the players on the field with typical Italian gestures.
Pogba felt wronged. The moment he was outpaced, he knew it was bad and chased back immediately. But Su Luo's shot was too fast, giving them no chance. Next time, he promised himself, there would be no chance for Su Luo.
Not far away, Buffon caught Su Luo's eye. The Chinese man's expression showed no regrets; he was laughing instead. It seemed like this shot was just the beginning.
"Bring it on!" Buffon made a fist with his right hand and touched his left palm vigorously, lowering his center of gravity to concentrate. The "Buffon Barrier" was up! If they could defend this first half, Juventus would gain a phased victory.
Union Berlin's corner kick was cleared by Bonucci's header. The football was controlled by Keita, and Union Berlin continued to organize the attack. Juventus didn't care; they deliberately released control of the midfield, exploiting Union Berlin's weakness. Union Berlin could only temporarily play on the outside.
"Juventus's defense has few loopholes. Union Berlin moved left and right several times but still couldn't find a suitable opportunity to penetrate the penalty area," Zhan Jun observed. Director Zhang had an idea.
"Union Berlin should create gaps in front of the penalty area and take long shots. Or they could try hitting behind more. Su Luo's passes are very threatening," Zhang suggested.
"But they need someone to get in there. Riyad Mahrez and Forsberg on the left aren't fast enough. If there were three Su Luos in the front field, it would be easy," he laughed to himself.
Unexpectedly, Su Luo in the restricted area withdrew just after he finished speaking.
"Keita kicks it straight into the middle! Su Luo catches the ball!"
"Su Luo... this is beautiful!"
Su Luo suddenly rushed out of the penalty area, involving Bonucci, who was defending him. To compensate, Chiellini retracted slightly to the middle. Pogba and Marchisio rushed to grab Su Luo, but he made no adjustments. Without even looking at the restricted area, he half-turned on the spot and sent a ground pass straight to the cold!
It went between Chiellini and wingback Sandro! Sandro didn't have time to recover, and a figure rushed up, catching the ball and entering the penalty area! He raised his hand in desperation, signaling offside. But the referee didn't call it!
"Mahrez! No offside! One-on-one!"
Facing goalkeeper Buffon, the future Premier League MVP was about to take a shot when he suddenly realized Buffon's angles were all blocked. Desperate, Mahrez tried to take a far corner and bypass Buffon's defense, but his feet betrayed him. The football crossed the goal, lightly grazing the far post, and flew out of bounds!
"The shot went wide! Riyad Mahrez wasted Su Luo's fantastic assist!" Zhan Jun lamented. Berlin fans held their heads in dismay.
After 30 minutes of downturn, Union Berlin seemed to have adapted to Juventus's defense. Their offense became increasingly threatening, with two shots almost scoring! Juventus fans were terrified, some older audience members even covered their chests and took out nitroglycerin tablets from their pockets.
The game seemed dull but had hidden dangers. They feared they would stumble. Previously, Juventus fans hadn't realized how powerful Su Luo was. The Italian commentator couldn't help but acknowledge:
"I was wrong to underestimate this Huaxia boy! He is indeed the biggest threat to Juventus! Every time Su Luo takes the ball, I feel my heart twitch. I'm sure many viewers feel the same."
"Fortunately, Gigi (Buffon) has always been reliable," he continued. Buffon's immobility on the ball affected Mahrez, making his shot pursue too much angle and miss the goal.
Mahrez also held his head in regret, feeling sorry for Su Luo. After much effort, Su Luo tore up the defense and fed him a perfect pass, only for Mahrez to waste it.
"Su, I'm sorry, I didn't hit that shot well."
"It's okay, Riyad. Let's play this offense a few more times."
"Eh? Can I still move forward?"
"Yes, just pay attention to my movements."
Su Luo didn't blame himself at all, and Mahrez resolved to shoot without hesitation next time.
After the kick-off, Juventus tried to slow down the rhythm and organize several attacks. But this was Union Berlin's strong suit; they were excellent at defending and counterattacking. A battleship stopped in front of the restricted area: Alex, Rudiger, Ake, Pavard, along with Paredes, Kimmich, and Keita in midfield, created a thick defense that made it difficult for Juventus.
Even with high points like Mandzukic and Morata in the penalty area, they failed to gain any advantage. Juventus didn't dare press hard, knowing Su Luo's counterattack prowess. Morata ended the attack with a long shot. Leading by one goal, Juventus retreated, parking the bus.
Union Berlin slowly took the goal kick and passed to the front, with all Juventus players ready. After a few midfield passes, Su Luo rushed out of the penalty area to respond.
"Well done!" Juventus players were ready for him. This time Bonucci didn't follow out, avoiding gaps in the backline. Khedira and Marchisio attacked from left to right, blocking Su Luo from turning smoothly. Su Luo could only protect the ball or pass back to his teammates.
But as Su Luo was about to catch the ball, his left shoulder sank, and he made a breakthrough towards the left defense zone. Marchisio took a diagonal step, blocking him, while Khedira quickly pressed Su Luo, sticking to him to prevent easy movement. Suddenly, Su Luo seemed to fumble the ball, stopping it 5 meters to the right. He immediately started, turning into an afterimage and disappearing from Khedira's view!
"Damn!" They focused on defending Su Luo's right foot, but he chose to break through with his left. Khedira was too late to chase. Su Luo unexpectedly fired a heavy shot with his left foot from 25 meters away!
"Su Luo! Consecutive stops and flashing gaps! Suddenly takes a long shot with his left foot!"
Though Su Luo was naturally right-footed, he had average left-foot ability. However, he had honed his left-footed shot skills inspired by Ronaldo, Haaland, and Giroud. This shot surprised everyone, including Buffon. He was marking Su Luo's right side, so when Buffon reacted, he was already a step behind!
Jumping up, his fingertips barely brushed the football. Before Buffon landed, he heard the sound of the net behind him!
"There's a steal! World-class shot!!"
"In the 36th minute of the game, Su Luo unleashed a long-range shot from outside the penalty area, piercing the goal guarded by Buffon!"
"Union Berlin equalizes!"
"Did you see that? Su Luo scored with his left foot!"
Jun Jun was ecstatic!
Even Su Luo was a little surprised. As his teammates rushed over to celebrate, he was still in shock.
"Huh? Did we just score? I was planning to stack a buff!"
Unexpectedly, his second shot pierced through Buffon's defenses.
Before this, Union Berlin's morale was relatively low. Juve's impeccable defense, coupled with Buffon's control in front of the goal, created an illusion of indestructibility. Su Luo's rare left-footed world-class shot cracked Juventus's ironclad defense! This goal not only equalized the score but also boosted the team's morale.
"Su Luo's previous 100% of long-range shots and 90% of his goals were scored with his right foot, and most of his left-footed goals were scored in front of the goal."
"This long shot from his left foot really worked well! Great power and angle!"
"Before the end of the first half, the two sides are back on even ground!"
In fact, Zhan Jun didn't notice that the balance of victory had gradually tilted. After equalizing the score, Union Berlin began to push harder. The three defensive midfielders launched a fierce press in the midfield, targeting the talented midfielder Pogba on the opposite side.
As soon as the ball reached Pogba's feet, he liked to stop, show off, and pass. If it's a tailwind, that's fine. Now Juventus was at a slight disadvantage and needed more pragmatic passing and quicker movement to regain their footing. Or they could drag the game into halftime and make adjustments during the break.
The first half entered stoppage time, the most critical moment where mistakes were taboo. But Pogba didn't care about that. He claimed to be the number one midfielder in the world, feeling a heavy responsibility to score. As a result, at the end of the first half, he was out of sync with his teammates.
Kimmich seized the opportunity and suddenly stole the ball from Pogba!
"Kimmich's steal! He passes directly to Su Luo in front!"
"Su Luo!!"
Seeing this, both Berlin fans and Chinese fans couldn't help but get excited. Su Luo caught the ball near the middle circle, with only Khedira next to him! There was a lot of space ahead!
Will it be? Su Luo's signature raid! Amid high expectations, Su Luo was determined to meet everyone's hopes.
Before receiving the ball, he had already mastered Khedira's position through his passive ability. Marchisio and Pogba were in the frontcourt, and Bonucci, Chiellini, and Barzagli were all in front of the penalty area! He could fight!
"Ronaldo, old man, looks like I still have to rely on you," Su Luo thought to himself. Ronaldo's influence seemed to resonate within him. For a moment, Su Luo's mind was clear, and his actions flowed instinctively.
"Su Luo! He heel-flicks the ball through Khedira's legs!"
"Beautiful! Accelerates past Khedira!"
Su Luo rushed forward! The more than 40,000 fans at the Allianz Stadium in Turin were deeply moved by Su Luo's terrifying drive! The oppressive feeling of his forward rush was simply suffocating!
"Barzagli and Bonucci are retreating, trying to close the gap to stop Su Luo..."
"What about Su Luo?"
"He pulls the ball to the right and accelerates..."
Watching Su Luo's movements, Bonucci instinctively stepped across to stop him! Suddenly, Su Luo hooked the ball back! Facing Barzagli's defense on the left, Su Luo made a block with his left foot, using quick footwork to avoid the opponent's interception! He lowered his body and accelerated, passing through the double team instantly!
Surprise and explosion! In the eyes of the audience, Su Luo faced two world-class central defenders. It felt like a blur; he was like a shadow, teleporting behind them!
Not only Zhan Jun, but He Wei on CCTV also shouted.
"Su Luo!! He weaves through the two with small steps! One-on-one!"
On the other side, Chiellini was still marking Mahrez, and it was too late for him to intervene! Buffon quickly left the goal, becoming the last line of defense.
"Come on, show me your best move!" Buffon thought.
Looking into Buffon's calm eyes, Su Luo was even calmer. The pendulum dribble! While shaking side to side, Su Luo slammed the ball to the left, trying to bypass Buffon!
"Don't even think about it!"
Buffon focused, quickly falling to the ground to rush out! But Su Luo didn't break through! He violated the laws of physics and stopped abruptly! The Chinese man looked at Buffon with cold eyes, lightly tapping his toes to complete an effortless chip shot!
Buffon's heart sank. In the duel between him and Su Luo, he was temporarily behind 1:2! The football gracefully fell into the net behind him!
The score was now 1:2! Just before halftime, with Su Luo scoring twice, Union Berlin took the lead!
