"Next, I would like to introduce the starting lineups of the two teams to the audience.
"On the Juventus side, the 11 players selected by head coach Allegri are:
"Goalkeeper: Buffon;
"Four defenders: Alex Sandro, Chiellini, Benatia, De Sciglio;
"Three midfielders: Matuidi, Pjanic, Khedira;
"Three forwards: Mandzukic, Higuain, Douglas Costa!"
"For Chelsea, playing away from home, Coach Conte still employs his preferred 3-4-2-1 formation.
"The goalkeeper is Courtois;
"Three center-backs: Gary Cahill, Christensen, Azpilicueta;
"Four midfielders: Moses, Kante, Fabregas, Marcos Alonso;
"Two attacking midfielders: Su Luo, Hazard;
"Lone striker: Lukaku!"
"It can be said that both head coaches have fielded their strongest lineups. The battle is about to begin! Let's look forward to this exciting clash!"
Soon, under the cheers of the fans in the stadium, the match between Juventus and Chelsea was about to kick off!
As soon as the game started, Chelsea immediately showed their intentions.
As an Italian, Conte naturally had a deep understanding of Juventus' strength.
In his view, if Chelsea wanted to defeat Juventus, they needed to start strong and utilize Su Luo's individual ability as much as possible to attack the opponent's goal.
And that's exactly what Su Luo did.
Just three minutes after kickoff, Su Luo received the ball in midfield and wasted no time, immediately showcasing his offensive talent.
As soon as he took control of the ball, he didn't hesitate—charging straight toward the opponent's goal.
Juventus' defensive players were already in position.
For tonight's game, Allegri had assigned Matuidi to mark Su Luo. However, given Matuidi's current abilities, stopping Su Luo's breakthrough was bound to be difficult.
As soon as Su Luo received the ball, he decisively changed pace and suddenly accelerated!
In terms of explosiveness, very few players in the top five leagues could match Su Luo!
With a burst of speed, he left Matuidi behind, shaking off his interference completely.
The next second, Su Luo had already reached the opponent's penalty area.
At this moment, he was in position to shoot!
He glanced at the goal and made a split-second decision, striking decisively!
With a powerful volley, the ball rocketed toward the goal in the blink of an eye.
This was Su Luo's unique ability—always finding a way to shoot, even in crowded defensive situations.
But unfortunately for Chelsea, Juventus had Buffon!
As one of the greatest goalkeepers of this era, Buffon's reflexes were lightning-fast!
The moment Su Luo took the shot, Buffon reacted immediately.
Leaping high, he stretched out his right hand and successfully parried the ball away.
A brilliant save!
