To be honest, Su Luo remained fully confident in his abilities as the team's star player.
Now, it was time for Su Luo to step up and solve the problem.
Fabregas controlled the ball in midfield, keeping a close eye on Su Luo's position.
The moment he saw Su Luo preparing to accelerate, he delivered a precise through ball!
In the blink of an eye, the football was perfectly placed at Su Luo's feet.
Without hesitation, Su Luo immediately showcased his speed advantage.
There was only one option—accelerate!
Su Luo and Son Heung-min were similar in this regard. Both possessed exceptional speed. When players of their type sprinted forward at full throttle, it became a nightmare for defenders.
And this time was no different.
On the wing, as soon as Su Luo burst forward, Tottenham Hotspur's defenders reacted quickly.
Coach Pochettino had assigned Trippier and Dembélé to mark Su Luo.
But unfortunately for them, they couldn't match his speed.
With a simple tap of his right foot, Su Luo effortlessly bypassed the defenders.
In the next moment, he charged into Tottenham Hotspur's penalty area, one-on-one with the last line of defense.
Tonight, Tottenham's center-back duo consisted of Vertonghen and Davinson Sánchez.
Vertonghen was the first to step up, hoping to use his superior physicality to slow Su Luo down.
However, he was overly confident in his own ability—or perhaps he underestimated Su Luo's strength.
With a quick change of direction, Su Luo suddenly accelerated and breezed past Vertonghen!
Vertonghen was stunned.
He never expected an Asian player to be this fast.
Desperately, he reached out to grab Su Luo's jersey, but it was too late.
Su Luo was like a bolt of lightning, leaving Vertonghen helpless in his wake!
Now, all the pressure fell on Davinson Sánchez.
As Tottenham's last defender, he had to stop Su Luo at all costs.
At this critical moment, Sánchez executed a sliding tackle directly at Su Luo.
It was a beautifully executed challenge—but poorly timed.
His right boot made direct contact with Su Luo's exposed right foot.
The referee immediately pointed to the spot. A penalty!
In fact, a red card wouldn't have been out of the question, but the referee chose to keep things under control, issuing Sánchez only a yellow card.
Meanwhile, Chelsea had won a golden opportunity to equalize.
The atmosphere at Stamford Bridge was electric.
Tens of thousands of Chelsea fans rose to their feet, eagerly anticipating Su Luo's goal.
Once again, Su Luo stepped up to take the penalty.
His eyes were filled with determination.
Standing in front of him was the renowned goalkeeper, Hugo Lloris…
