Chapter 21 First Chance! The Second Star Is About To Sign

If you choose the happiest fanbase in the Bundesliga recently, there's no doubt that it must be the fans of Union Berlin.

They endured the disappointment of winning only 3 out of the first 10 games of the season, nearly giving up hope of reaching the Bundesliga.

Who would have thought that a 16-year-old boy from the Orient would step up and score 5 goals in 2 games just when they were short on attackers?

He almost single-handedly helped Union Berlin secure 6 valuable points!

Union Berlin's ranking shot up from 14th place to 9th almost instantly!

Not only did they escape the relegation zone, but they also reignited their hopes of making it to the Bundesliga!

These days, when Union fans meet on the street, everyone is smiling.

"Did you watch the game yesterday?"

"I did! Those two goals were amazing! Especially the last one!"

"Yeah, I was so excited I lost my voice."

"Didn't people say he was bad with the youth team?"

"It's all media nonsense. Su is our hero!"

Not only are the fans talking about Su Luo, but after his consecutive miracles, coaches from various Bundesliga clubs are also paying attention.

Cologne's head coach, Peter Stöger, looked serious:

"Today's task: go back and watch the video carefully. Everyone needs to find at least 5 flaws in that Asian boy! We'll discuss them in tomorrow's meeting!"

Karlsruhe's coach, Markus Kauczinski, said: "We need to analyze Su Luo's play frame by frame. We have two rounds against Union Berlin. Before that, we must develop specific defensive tactics!"

Munich 1860's coach, Friedhelm Funkel: "Union Berlin is only 4 points behind us. Next month's matchup is critical. As long as we can neutralize that Asian boy, their offense will lose its threat!"

With the advancement of football, even Bundesliga clubs now have plenty of scouts and data analysts.

As soon as a player stands out, competitors quickly target him, analyzing every detail from head to toe.

If a coaching team pays enough attention, they can quickly customize a set of defensive tactics and train their defensive players to effectively neutralize the threat.

This is why many young players fade away quickly after a few good games.

If you don't evolve, you get eliminated!

Professional football is that ruthless!

Even with Messi's talent or Gareth Bale's extreme speed, it's tough to rely on just one trick.

Fortunately, other teams had enough time to devise tactics.

After the 12th round of the Bundesliga, the second round of the German Cup kicked off.

In the first round, Su Luo was still in the youth team when Union Berlin eliminated the Bundesliga team Regensburg 2-1 in an away game.

In the second round, Union Berlin's opponent was another Bundesliga team, Osnabrück.

After routine training four days before the game, Neuhaus deliberately stopped Su Luo.

"Su, in the next German Cup match, I'm giving you a chance to start. Can you play the full game?"

"No problem, coach. My fitness is up to it."

In fact, Su Luo had never played a full 90 minutes in an official professional game.

The level of competition in the World Youth Championship is different from that of adult teams.

Coupled with Su Luo's age disadvantage, the physical confrontation consumes more energy, and 90 minutes is indeed a test for him.

But professional players must have basic self-confidence, at least not show fear in front of the head coach.

"Very well, then I'll add you to the list... By the way, stay away from nightclubs for the next few days."

In front of the computer, Neuhaus entered Su Luo's name into the German Cup starting lineup.

"Okay, coach."

Su Luo readily agreed.

That night, he and Brazilian teammate Silvio appeared at "Universal Night" Berghain, enjoying the best electronic music in Germany.

This nightclub was once an abandoned power plant, and its decor is full of a cyberpunk industrial vibe.

With flashing neon

lights and rhythmic electronic music, more and more young people from all over Europe pour into East Berlin.

A decadent aesthetic, booze, and revelry characterize Berlin, turning the entire city into one gigantic party.

Due to his frequent visits, Su Luo didn't even have to stand in the long lines. He was now a VIP guest, free to come and go as he pleased.

Silvio, also a regular, couldn't help but be excited as they entered.

"Su, I see two good-looking girls over there. Let's go talk to them. I'll be your wingman!"

"You go ahead, I believe you can handle a 1v2."

"Yeah! Watch me charm them in no time!"

Silvio approached the girls with inexplicable confidence.

Su Luo watched his back sympathetically before heading to the dance floor alone.

He deliberately avoided a few heavily made-up beauties who were eyeing him and stood at the edge of the dance floor, closing his eyes and losing himself in the rhythm of the music, completely relaxing his mind.

Soon, it was as if he had traveled through a wormhole, and Su Luo's spirit connected to the fantasy world.

"Big Ronaldo" was already standing on the pitch, waiting for Su Luo.

Surrounded by his Union Berlin teammates, they stood like terracotta warriors.

Su Luo could summon other players if needed, reproducing opponents from official matches here. These "AI" would act according to their real-life characteristics.

Unfortunately, he only had Ronaldo's "star card" at the moment, and the second phantom hadn't materialized yet...

Huh? Is it coming soon?

Su Luo noticed the second phantom was becoming more defined, almost fully condensed!

After winning those two games, his progress had reached 90%!

In other words, regardless of the outcome of the next game, he would get the second "star card."

Judging by the height, the second star should be a big guy!

"Hopefully, it's not a defender. Being a defender while attacking is uncomfortable."

In the opponent's penalty area, being possessed by a defender would turn a shot into a clearance, which was not ideal.

Anyway, Su Luo couldn't wait for the next German Cup match!

The flow of time in the illusion was different. Su Luo trained with Ronaldo for 2 hours.

When he ended the illusion and returned to reality, only 2 seconds had passed.

Su Luo wanted to practice more, to fully master Ronaldo's abilities without possession.

But this time, someone outside interrupted him and forcibly cut off his link.

"Are you okay? I called you, but you ignored me."

Su Luo felt someone patting his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw a familiar angelic face.

"Josephine, why are you here?"

"If I didn't come, were you never going to talk to me again?"

Josephine van der Linden's eyes were sad.
