Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Chang Wei, You Still Say You Don't Know Martial Arts?
Rhine Energy Stadium erupted as the visiting fans went crazy!
After Ben Kron scored the first goal, Union Berlin's fans were feeling desperate. Their team was already weaker, and Cologne had thoroughly studied their tactics. Beating stronger teams with surprise tactics works only if the stronger team underestimates you, but Cologne was treating Union Berlin like a top-tier opponent.
Union Berlin fans were upset. "You guys aren't following the script! A mid-table team isn't supposed to take us so seriously!"
Watching Su Luo being bullied by Cologne's tall defenders and midfielders in turn, Union Berlin fans felt sorry for him. He was their beloved supernova, scoring consecutive goals, but today was a major test for him.
Unexpectedly, Su Luo didn't back down in this confrontation. He abandoned his elegant style of play and charged towards the penalty area like a barbarian!
He not only resisted Rahman's aggressive challenge but also burst into the penalty area, shaking off Mario's pulls and scoring with a powerful shot!
His previous goals were like works of art; this one was like a refreshing carbonated drink!
After scoring, Su Luo ran towards the camera and lifted his jersey to reveal a message in crooked German: "Josephine, are you watching?"
"Ahhh! How could he do this!" Josephine blushed and buried her face in a pillow in front of the TV. It felt like her boyfriend had just announced their relationship in public.
"Hahahaha, this young man from China is really interesting," the commentator laughed. "His powerful goal helped Union Berlin equalize, putting both teams back on equal footing! Now, who is Josephine? Probably his girlfriend, hahahaha."
Anya, watching from home, pouted. "He already has a girlfriend? I was thinking of getting to know him," she muttered, then smiled enviously. "He's so handsome, his girlfriend must be pretty too."
...
"Huh? How is he... Ander, am I seeing this right?" Coach Neuhaus couldn't believe his eyes.
"Yes, that kid's physical strength has definitely improved," assistant coach Hofstadter nodded, observing closely. Su Luo seemed to have suddenly mastered the art of physical confrontation.
They didn't suspect anything supernatural. Scientifically, it seemed Su Luo's recent muscle-building training had paid off, and the intense physical play was helping him adapt quickly.
"This kid is a genius," Neuhaus smiled wryly. His tactics had been cracked, but Su Luo had saved face for him. If they lost, the media would definitely target him.
Of course, the game was only 15 minutes in, and anything could still happen.
...
Union Berlin had trailed for less than three minutes before Su Luo's strong attack equalized the score. The game was now balanced.
Facing Rahman again, Su Luo laughed, "How about that attack? Learn something?"
"You..." Rahman's face turned red. He wanted to foul but knew he had provoked Su Luo first, so he had to hold back.
Rahman's defense remained serious, but he no longer relied on simple collisions to stop Su Luo. The Asian boy seemed transformed, embracing physical confrontations and even using them to create opportunities.
In the 22nd minute, Su Luo withdrew to receive the ball. Rahman stepped forward to challenge him, but Su Luo used his body to shield the ball at the top of the penalty area. Another defender, Mario, stepped up to double-team him.
Suddenly, Su Luo backheeled the ball through the gap between the two defenders, sending it directly to the Brazilian, Silvio!
Silvio received the ball in the penalty area, facing the goalkeeper!
"Su...protects the ball and makes a brilliant pass with his heel! Silvio is unmarked!! The goalkeeper charges out, closing off the near corner! Silvio—oh my!!! What a chance!"
Silvio aimed for the far corner but missed, the ball curving just wide of the post. Tall forward Simon Terodde tried to reach it but was a little too slow.
This was the best opportunity since the equalizer!
"I have to say, ever since the Chinese youngster mastered physical confrontation, he's created successive threats in front of the Cologne goal," the commentator said. "He cleverly attracted a double-team this time. He's truly a smart player! It's just a pity that luck wasn't on his side."
Cologne coach Stöger couldn't sit still anymore and came to the sidelines, frowning. In the first ten minutes, everything had gone according to his plan, but Su Luo was completely unexpected!
"What are you doing? Didn't you say he's not good at physical play? Are you messing with me?"
If he had seen "Nine Pins of Sesame Official," he would have blurted out, "Chang Wei, you still say you don't know martial arts?"
