The two midfielders, Cesc Fabregas and Moses, once again successfully regained possession of the ball.
This came after a dribbling attempt from Matuidi.
The Juventus midfielder was clearly confident in his own abilities. He believed he could break through the defense with sheer personal strength.
But unfortunately—
Matuidi underestimated the combined strength of Fabregas and Moses.
Both players were lightning-fast.
They immediately closed in on both sides of Matuidi and applied intense pressure on him at incredible speed!
In just a moment—
Thanks to the efforts of Fabregas and Moses, Chelsea won back the ball!
The very next second—
Cesc Fabregas instantly displayed his extraordinary passing ability.
He sent a beautiful arc through the air—
And the ball landed perfectly at Lukaku's feet.
In tonight's match, Lukaku hadn't actually performed particularly well. For most of the game, he had been relatively quiet in the attacking third.
However, at this moment, Lukaku instantly became the center of attention in the stadium!
"That pass from Fabregas was absolutely crucial. It landed perfectly at Lukaku's feet! Can the striker finish it off? Let's wait and see."
The next moment—
Juventus's defenders were already in position.
The two central defenders, Chiellini and Benatia, closed in on Lukaku at the same time. Yet Lukaku remained calm upon seeing them!
He knew very well how strong Chiellini and Benatia were.
According to Lukaku—
With his current form, it would be extremely difficult to break through both defenders in a short time.
So instead—
He passed the ball to Hazard on the left!
In an instant!!
The football flew to the left side of the penalty area.
As soon as Hazard received it, the entire Juventus defense tensed up.
Clearly—
Every Juventus player was well aware of Hazard's individual skill.
Once Hazard picks up speed—
His impact is no less threatening than Su Luo's!
So—
At this critical moment, Juventus full-back De Sciglio quickly stepped up to face Hazard.
De Sciglio's defense was quite solid.
He launched a sliding tackle straight at Hazard.
But—
Just then, Hazard quickly passed the ball to Su Luo!
The real danger was now in the midfield.
The moment Su Luo controlled the ball, the entire Juventus defense focused all their attention on him.
The moment of truth had arrived.
It was time to test Su Luo's individual brilliance!
"Su Luo has received the ball in midfield!!"
"What will he choose to do this time?"
"Will he pass or try to break through on his own?"
From Zhan Jun's perspective, Su Luo's position was too far from goal. At that moment, he believed Su Luo only had two real options:
One—pass the ball.
Two—also pass the ball.
But then, something no one expected happened.
Su Luo chose a third option.
He didn't pass.
He didn't dribble forward.
Instead, he looked up to locate the goal—and in the very next second!!
Su Luo unleashed a shot at full speed!!
In the blink of an eye—
He struck the ball with a powerful volley, sending it rocketing toward the goal!
