Su Luo took two deep breaths.
Suddenly, he realized there were no Barcelona defenders around him.
Then, an idea struck him.
He decided to dribble the ball toward the goal.
In reality, Su Luo's best option was to pass. If he attempted a shot from this position, it would be from an almost impossible angle.
But Su Luo refused to back down.
Seeing that the defenders were closing in, he decisively struck the ball toward the goal.
Boom!!
The ball didn't soar through the air—it crashed straight into the goalpost!
This was the second time in this match that the goalpost had denied Su Luo.
The Chelsea fans held their heads in disbelief.
Even though Su Luo had yet to score his first goal for Chelsea, his performance was steadily improving as the game progressed.
This put immense pressure on Barcelona's defenders, forcing them to shift their focus toward marking him.
Unnoticed by many, the clock had already reached the 60-minute mark.
At this moment, Eden Hazard was preparing to enter the game.
Unless something unexpected happened, Conte would likely sub out Pedro for Hazard.
Just as Hazard was about to come on, Chelsea won a corner kick.
Upon seeing this, Conte quickly approached the fourth official and requested to delay the substitution.
He had a reason for this decision—Conte had great confidence in Pedro's ability to score from headers.
During training, Pedro frequently scored directly from corner kicks, leaving a lasting impression on the coach.
As the ball was whipped into the box, it curved toward the near post.
And the Chelsea player rushing toward it was—Su Luo!
More importantly, there were no defenders marking him.
The reason? Pedro had cleverly drawn two Barcelona defenders away with his intelligent off-the-ball movement!
At this moment, Su Luo leapt into the air with all his strength.
He won the aerial duel!
But instead of going for a direct header, Su Luo redirected the ball backward!
The football dropped right in front of the goal!
Out of nowhere, Pedro launched himself into a sliding shot!
With sheer determination, he poked the ball into the back of the net!
3-3!
Chelsea had equalized once again!
At the same time, Su Luo registered his second assist of the game!
"Brilliant, Su Luo!"
"Your header was absolutely crucial!"
Pedro, overwhelmed with excitement after scoring, rushed over to Su Luo and celebrated with high-fives.
Conte, unable to contain his joy, pumped his fist in the air.
With the score now at 3-3, the match was once again wide open.
By now, the clock had reached the 85th minute.
Only five minutes remained before full-time.
Su Luo, with his sharp instincts, immediately recognized this as his best chance to score!
Thus, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
Using his explosive speed, he aimed to break through multiple defenders on his own.
For nearly forty minutes, he had been playing it safe, carefully choosing his moments.
But now—he wasn't holding back anymore!
When Su Luo truly unleashed his speed, it was absolutely terrifying!
In a sudden burst, he broke free from his markers.
With dazzling footwork and sheer determination, he surged forward—single-handedly piercing through Barcelona's defense!
Before anyone could react, he had already entered the penalty area…
