One thing is for sure—McTominay's defensive ability leaves much to be desired!
With just a simple step-over, Su Luo breezed past McTominay in an instant.
Straightforward and effortless.
No problem at all!
The next second—
Su Luo had already broken into Manchester United's penalty area. As the saying goes, whatever you fear the most is bound to happen.
At this moment—
Immense pressure weighed on every Manchester United defender.
A critical moment.
Smalling and Lindelöf were already in position.
Both defenders possessed impressive physical attributes—strong, aggressive, and explosive in their movements.
More importantly—
They were also fast at closing down opponents.
However, no matter how quick they were, they simply couldn't match Su Luo's blistering pace.
With a sudden burst of acceleration—
Su Luo effortlessly left them behind.
Smalling and Lindelöf didn't even have time to react, let alone attempt a challenge. Su Luo had already slipped past them with ease.
It was clear to see—
With Su Luo's current strength, it felt like a mismatch—almost like a higher-dimensional player dominating the field.
His lightning speed, combined with unpredictable shifts in rhythm, made him unstoppable.
In just a few seconds—
Su Luo had shaken off both Smalling and Lindelöf.
Now—
He was one-on-one with the goalkeeper, David De Gea.
Undeniably—
Manchester United's shot-stopper was in excellent form.
The moment Su Luo took his shot—
De Gea reacted instantly, diving into action!!
No one expected it—
But Su Luo's powerful left-footed strike was miraculously blocked by De Gea!
The Spanish goalkeeper's incredible save sent the entire stadium into a frenzy!!
"Brilliant save!!"
"As expected of De Gea!"
"De Gea is absolutely the best goalkeeper in the world!"
"Incredible! That's the first time I've seen a keeper stop Su Luo's shot!"
"We can't let Su Luo get another chance! Stay alert!"
"Come on, De Gea!!"
On the sidelines—
Manchester United head coach José Mourinho was just as fired up.
He pumped his fists in celebration, his face brimming with excitement.
For a brief moment—
It felt as if Manchester United had already won.
The game continued.
Only ten minutes remained in the first half.
Without a doubt—
This would be Chelsea's last chance to turn things around before halftime.
If they wanted a miracle—
They had to ramp up the pressure on their opponents right now.
However—
Mourinho had already instructed his players to tighten their defensive focus on Su Luo.
At this point—
Manchester United's entire defensive strategy revolved around stopping him.
It was clear that even the slightest movement from Su Luo would immediately attract at least two defenders to mark him.
This was not a good sign.
Su Luo had already expended a great deal of energy in the previous game against Barcelona.
Now, just days later, he was once again up against a formidable opponent.
For Su Luo—
Staying calm and conserving his stamina was essential.
After all—
A football match lasted ninety minutes.
Su Luo knew this all too well.
To avoid unnecessary exhaustion—
He began to shift his focus toward distributing the ball and controlling the tempo.
Undeniably—
Su Luo wasn't just a goal scorer.
He was a versatile playmaker as well.
