Chapter 217 Encounter The Old Master And Face Manchester City!

"Congratulations to Manchester City on winning the treble. Inter Milan played well, but luck wasn't on their side."

Taylor Swift beamed with pride as she delivered her surprise. The Chelsea players were caught off guard, stunned by her unexpected appearance.

Su Luo felt a headache coming on.

He had originally planned to invite Josephine to this party. However, Josephine was currently in Milan and wouldn't be able to visit London until Christmas. Just before the party, Su Luo received a call from Taylor Swift, who had arrived in London without any prior notice.

Although it had been a while since they last saw each other and Su Luo missed Taylor, he was more concerned about the English paparazzi. They were far more relentless than the media in Berlin, and there was no doubt that tomorrow's headlines would feature Taylor Swift. If she was spotted at his mansion, the news would definitely leak. Josephine would surely find out.

But Su Luo decided to stop worrying. He might as well enjoy the moment. He would deal with Josephine's concerns later.

After a night of drinking and barbecue, the Champions League round of 16 draw was about to begin. Su Luo set up a projector to watch the ceremony with his teammates.

At UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, the legendary Dutch player Ruud Gullit was the guest for the draw. The top seeds included Arsenal, Napoli, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Atlético Madrid, Leicester City, and Juventus. The second-seeded teams were Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica, Manchester City, Union Berlin, Monaco, Bayern Munich, Porto, and Sevilla.

Teams from the same group and the same league couldn't face each other, so Chelsea's potential opponents were Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica, Union Berlin, Bayern, Porto, and Sevilla. The only real threat was Bayern; the other teams seemed manageable for Chelsea.

Gullit began the draw, picking Real Madrid first.

"Real Madrid! Their opponent is... Monaco!"

"Napoli! They will face... Benfica!"

"Barcelona vs. Paris Saint-Germain!"

Finally, the media had something to get excited about—a clash between two giants, La Liga's Barcelona and Ligue 1's PSG, two teams with a history.

But the next draw shocked everyone.

"Arsenal... their opponent is Bayern Munich!"

Chelsea players couldn't help but laugh. Arsenal seemed doomed to face Bundesliga teams, meeting their nemesis once again.

"Porto's opponent is Juventus!"

Five groups had been drawn, leaving three teams. Chelsea's potential opponents were now narrowed down to Union Berlin and Sevilla.

Then, Gullit drew Sevilla.

"Leicester City vs. Sevilla!"

The Chelsea players exchanged glances, all eyes turning to Su Luo. Their opponent couldn't be Manchester City anymore; it had to be the other team with a deep connection to Su Luo.

"Manchester City will face Atlético Madrid!"

With only two teams left, the draw was clear. UEFA officials and Gullit chuckled, and the media smirked knowingly. If anyone doubted the draw's transparency, they had reason to now. It seemed UEFA knew how to create drama, setting up a tantalizing duel.

"The final matchup is Chelsea... versus Union Berlin!"

In East Berlin, Union Berlin's players gathered at their old captain Matushka's home, following tradition, to watch the draw together. When Chelsea was announced as their opponent, the room fell silent for a moment.

"Su is coming back."

"Then we have to give him a proper welcome."

"Yes, we need to surprise him."

Sane grinned, while Pickford shared the excitement.

"We'll show Su how much we've grown."

Salah, quiet among the group, was deep in thought. Since joining Union Berlin, he had often been compared to Su Luo. Salah had done well, leading Union Berlin to strong performances and placing second in the Bundesliga behind Bayern Munich. Yet, he had never faced Su Luo directly and had no personal sense of Su Luo's strength.

If he could lead his team to beat Chelsea, it would be his moment of revenge, proving he was the unique Salah, not just a replacement for someone else.

Meanwhile, at the Base Bar, Uncle Hans and the fans erupted in cheers when they saw the draw.

"Fantastic! Su is coming back!"

"I've been waiting for this day. I didn't think it would be so soon!"

"We need to prepare to welcome him home properly!"

"Do we still have the old props?"

"Everything's still here! Perfectly preserved!"

Uncle Hans nodded in satisfaction. Su Luo was returning to Berlin, and everyone was ready for the reunion.

The next day, the English media was busy.

The UEFA Champions League round of 16 draws, but the Premier League teams have earned enough attention.

All 4 teams have successfully qualified, and they are full of highlights!

The grievances between Arsenal and Bayern,

Manchester City and Atletico Madrid to repeat last season's Champions League final

Leicester City, participating in the UEFA Champions League for the first time, has met a good opponent and may break into the top 8!

Most importantly, Chelsea will take on Union Berlin!

Su Luo and Salah face their old masters respectively,

How could such an arrangement of UEFA have no inside story!

At the same time, another piece of news also attracted attention in England.

Taylor Swift secretly came to Su Luo's mansion to party last night,

She and Su Luo behaved intimately, and it seemed that they had an unusual relationship.

Taylor Swift's studio immediately clarified the scandal,

Said that the two are just good friends.

Su Luo has not responded to the outside world for the time being.

This incident also made Chelsea fans quite happy.

If Su Luo can win the Empress Dowager in Europe and America, she will definitely attract a lot of attention to Chelsea.

When discussing the scandal between Su Luo and Taylor Swift in the UK,

Sure enough, Josephine called to ask.

Su Luo said that Taylor Swift is just an ordinary friend.

Josephine is not a girl who likes to make trouble, she is as calm as ever.

"Since you say so, I choose to believe you."

But Josephine's sense of crisis is getting deeper and deeper,

Her intuition told her that the relationship between Su Luo and Taylor Swift must not be that simple.

The two have had so many quarrels, they are definitely not ordinary friends.

This time the competition is too strong!

It seems that I must do something.

Josephine simply rejected all the arrangements for December and planned to stay with Su Luo for the whole month.

As long as she starts immediately, she can still catch up with Chelsea's game against Manchester City.

Su Luo has been busy preparing for Manchester City recently, so he can't take care of other things.

All interviews with reporters were rejected by Su Luo.

This battle is really critical,

He himself is not 100% sure of winning Manchester City.

After all, football is round, and anything can happen.

Manchester City is the strongest opponent in the Premier League and must do their best!

The day before the fight, Su Luo came to Manchester on a Chelsea bus.

He went to a nightclub in Manchester alone that night,

Going to get back to top form here.

As a result, just after coming out of the illusion, Su Luo raised his eyes and saw an acquaintance.

"Jack?"

"Hey! Su, what's the matter with you?"

"This store was recommended by you, have you forgotten?"

"It's true, you haven't changed your habits in the past few years."

"It's strange that Guardiola would let you come to the nightclub."

"I sneaked out."

Grealish showed a familiar smirk.

Su Luo was also very surprised to meet Glarish in a nightclub, and the two of them happened to have a booth together.

On the eve of the big battle, meeting an opponent in this kind of place is unique in football.

"Do you have confidence in tomorrow's game?"

"Of course." Su Luo responded confidently.

"Me too. w

Grealish felt a little guilty.

He had seen Su Luo's expression many times before,

Every time the team can beat the opponent.

Unexpectedly, this time it was his turn.

After playing in Manchester City for more than a season, Graley cannot guarantee 100% starting.

Sometimes Guardiola will also send Jesus, David Silva, Sterling to play his position.

Especially Sterling, who can often squeeze Glarish on the bench.

Su Luo is different. No matter where he goes, he is the absolute core and unstoppable starter.

When he came to the Premier League this season, he was even more indiscriminate.

"In this match, I will do my best to beat you.

Grealish looked at Su Luo seriously.

"Very well, I can't spare you if you want to release the water."

Su Luo smiled lightly.

"Let's go, tomorrow will kill you

Now that Su Luo has recovered through the illusion, he doesn't want to stay in the nightclub any longer.

Now is not the time to have fun.

"See you on the field!"

Grealish was also lost in thought.

Tomorrow's battle was like a boulder pressing on his chest, and Grealish could hardly breathe.

Su Luo put too much pressure on him.

But...667

Grealish clenched his fists.

He won't give up easily!

On the match day, half of the city in Manchester took to the streets and marched towards the Etihad Stadium.

Speaking of which, the fans of the city itself support Manchester City.

More Manchester United fans come from all over the world and are more international.

The citizens of Manchester, a traditional industrial city, are also blue-collar workers.

Everyone grew up watching Manchester City games.

bullied by Manchester United,

Until the local tyrants in the Middle East bought the team, Manchester City fans finally felt elated.

Now the sky in Manchester has turned blue!

However, when encountering Chelsea with a deeper blue, Manchester City fans are somewhat uncertain.

For this game, the Etihad Stadium was packed.

All season ticket holders rushed to the stadium, and 55,000 people were packed to the brim.

There are only a few hundred people in the visiting stands for Chelsea.

From an hour before the start of the game, the fans have already started singing the team song and waiting for the players to come out.

In the locker room of the home team, Manchester City players have finished warming up and are making final adjustments.

Grealish sneaked up to De Bruyne and said mysteriously:

"Kevin, guess who I ran into at the nightclub yesterday?"

"Huh? You went to the nightclub secretly? Crazy! If you are caught by the coach, you will be miserable..."

"That's not the point. Guess who I met?"

"who?"

"Our old friend."

"Huh? He also went to the nightclub?"

De Bruyne was a little surprised that Su Luo actually went to the nightclub before the big battle.

"Back then, he was better than me when it came to dancing. In short, I told him in front of his face that we would definitely win.

"Since you say so, I can't hold back. I must defeat him!"

De Bruyne is full of energy.

He was double-killed by Su Luo in the Champions League last season, and he has always been uneasy.

He has never won against Su Luo in his career!

De Bruyne's eyes ignited the flame of vengeance, he trained crazily for a year, and finally waited until this day!

This time, we must defeat Su Luo!

The one who is also bent on revenge is the head coach Pep Guardiola!

In the pre-match interview, Guardiola was full of confidence.

"I have found a way to freeze Su Luo, this time we will break Chelsea's undefeated gold at home!"
