An unstoppable presence!!
This was Su Luo's individual ability.
He quickly passed the ball to a teammate in midfield—
Then sprinted forward, waiting for a return pass.
Soon, Chelsea created a great scoring opportunity.
Midfielder Cesc Fàbregas suddenly played a pass to left-back Marcos Alonso, who had pushed up from the wing.
Alonso glanced at Su Luo and Pedro's movements inside the box—
Then made a quick decision—
A cross into the penalty area!
Originally, he aimed for Pedro, but unfortunately—
His execution was off—the pass was too high!
The ball flew over Pedro's head and landed right in front of—
Su Luo!
A perfect shooting opportunity!
Su Luo reacted instantly, accelerated, and prepared to strike—
But—
He was too slow.
Before he could get the shot off—
Barcelona's center-back Umtiti stepped in and cleared the ball with a powerful clearance.
Su Luo missed the chance!
As the game continued—
It became evident that Su Luo's speed had been affected.
The main reason?
Fatigue.
After enduring long periods of high-intensity competition, Su Luo's physical condition had clearly declined.
To be honest—
His fitness level was now at just 50%.
Despite this, Chelsea, pushed on by their passionate home crowd, quickly regained momentum.
And before long—
Their second wave of attack arrived!
This time—
Chelsea center-back Christensen received a pass in the backfield.
Facing the intense pressing from Barcelona's forwards, he didn't hesitate—
Instead of stopping, he launched a direct long pass forward!
The ball soared into the front third of the pitch!
At the edge of the penalty area—
Despite not being the tallest player—
Pedro managed to win the aerial duel against Barcelona's midfielder!
The next second—
Three Barcelona defenders rushed toward Pedro!
Pedro wasn't known for dribbling past defenders.
Unlike Messi, he couldn't just weave through multiple players—
So he made a decisive choice—
A quick pass!
With exceptional vision and precision, Pedro found Su Luo in the half-space inside the penalty area!
As expected from a player with Barcelona DNA, Pedro's short passing was superb.
The ball zipped past two Barcelona defenders and landed directly at Su Luo's feet!
And this time—
Su Luo didn't disappoint.
He controlled the ball perfectly with his right foot—
But just as he was about to take a shot—
Barcelona's goalkeeper, Ter Stegen, charged forward!
Before Su Luo could react—
Ter Stegen snatched the ball right off his feet!
Inside Qingqiu.com's live broadcast room—
After witnessing Su Luo's struggles—
Chinese fans began to voice their frustrations.
"Is this really the Su Luo I know??"
"Where's his speed?! Did he lose it?"
"This is way too slow! Even my grandma is faster than Su Luo!"
"Forget my grandma, even my great-grandma is faster!"
"Wasn't Su Luo supposed to be a speedster? What happened to him?"
Some fans, however, came to his defense—
"Hey, are you guys even watching the game??"
"Chelsea's schedule has been packed! It's only natural that Su Luo's fitness is affected!"
