Chapter 220 Guardiola Wants To Introduce His Daughter To Su Luo?

The image on the screen showed Guardiola's eldest daughter as the commentators' voices filled the stadium.

"Hat trick!! Su Luo's 31st goal of the season seals the game!"

"Manchester City's desperate push to come back has been crushed!"

"Chelsea counterattacks swiftly! Ajar's inverted triangle pass, and Su Luo slams it into the net!"

"4-1! Manchester City suffers a disastrous defeat at home!"

As the game reached the 85th minute, Manchester City, unwilling to accept defeat, pushed forward in an attempt to claw back a goal. But this left too much space behind, and Chelsea pounced, delivering the final blow.

Su Luo scored a hat-trick at the Etihad Stadium, silencing Manchester City and sealing their fate.

The battle of the giants had ended, and the MVP was once again Su Luo. Despite relentless pressure from Manchester City, Su Luo consistently delivered magical performances at critical moments, turning the tide in Chelsea's favor.

The Premier League officials awarded him a perfect score of 10 points after the match—a fitting evaluation.

In post-match interviews, Su Luo, the best player on the pitch, was brimming with confidence.

"We secured an important victory today. The opposition is strong, but we are stronger. The championship belongs to Chelsea!"

If Su Luo had spoken with such confidence at the start of the season, the English media would have ridiculed him. Who would have believed he had the audacity to claim the championship?

But now, no one doubted him.

With 14 consecutive victories, even Manchester City couldn't withstand Chelsea's firepower. Su Luo's 31 goals were terrifying, and it was hard to imagine who could stop him. His declaration that the championship was Chelsea's now felt inevitable.

If you're strong enough, you can do whatever you want.

After the game, Guardiola had only one thing to say:

"We played really well, but we were just a little unlucky."

Then, he left the press conference in a somber mood, leaving his assistant to face the media's questions.

In a small prep room behind the media conference hall at the Etihad Stadium, Guardiola sat alone on a sofa, his face buried in his hands as he sighed helplessly.

He thought back to his time at Bayern Munich when Su Luo had crushed him. That deep sense of powerlessness had returned, haunting him once again.

He had hoped that moving to the Premier League would allow him to rediscover the success of his peak Barcelona days. But now, he realized that not even a change of scenery could escape Su Luo's shadow. It was like a curse.

For a brief moment, Guardiola entertained a bizarre idea: what if he used his daughter as a charm to lure Su Luo to Manchester City?

His two daughters, Maria and Valentina, were always a source of pride. The younger one was only 8 years old, so that was out of the question. But Maria, born in 2001, was just four years younger than Su Luo and had a striking appearance.

Given Su Luo's reputation for nightlife and partying, maybe there was a chance...

But before the thought could take root, Guardiola slapped himself to shake off the absurd idea. How could he even think about using his daughter to attract a player? It was a sign that Su Luo had gotten too deep into his head.

Quickly regaining his composure, Guardiola resolved to return to the training ground, do nothing but focus, and meticulously study the game video with his coaching staff. He refused to believe that Su Luo was invincible. After all, he was human, and humans were not flawless.

The day after Chelsea's victory at Manchester City, the match caused a sensation across English football. The fact that even Manchester City had fallen to Chelsea sent shockwaves through the league.

Coaches from every team were on high alert, devoting themselves to analyzing the match. Media experts were writing columns and recording shows to discuss the game, which was quickly dubbed the "Battle of the Titans."

BBC Sport's "Match of the Day" even produced a special episode, inviting experts like former Arsenal star Thierry Henry, former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand, and legendary striker Alan Shearer to offer their insights.

As the host Gary Lineker played the match footage, they analyzed the players' performances frame by frame, using technical tools to dissect the game.

"To be honest, Manchester City played really well," Rio Ferdinand began, despite his allegiance to Manchester United. "Their 3-2-4-1 formation was clever, almost completely nullifying Chelsea's counter-attacks."

"They kept possession well too. Guardiola has trained this team brilliantly. At times, it felt like watching Barcelona from five years ago."

"Manchester City had 68% possession, compared to Chelsea's 32%. They dominated in shots, corner kicks, and passes. Yet, the final score was still unexpected."

"Chelsea had so few chances, yet they capitalized on all of them."

"Six shots, four goals, and Su Luo completes a hat trick." Ferdinand shook his head in disbelief. "That efficiency is terrifying."

Henry smiled and added, "Yes, Su Luo's greatest strength is his clarity of thought. Every decision is precise, as if he's a machine."

"And his skill set is so well-rounded. He can do everything—long-distance runs, dribbling, finishing, assisting."

"If it were me, I'm not sure I could have won so easily against this Manchester City side."

Henry admitted that even at his peak, he would have struggled to defeat Manchester City by more than 2-1, or perhaps only manage a draw away from home. Su Luo, however, seized every opportunity, leading Chelsea to a 4-1 victory.

No wonder they had won 14 consecutive league games.

New stars rise with each generation.

Just as Messi and Ronaldo had dazzled Henry, Su Luo had emerged as the next great talent.

If only Su Luo could join Arsenal, Henry mused, he could lead the team back to glory. But Arsenal could never afford such an astronomical transfer fee.

As the show ended, Alan Shearer made a self-deprecating remark.

"I scored 34 goals in a single season once, and I thought that record would stand for a long time."

"Now, it seems my goals aren't even worth mentioning."

"Su has 31 goals in 14 games—my God! He's not giving an old man any respect."

Shearer's record was destined to be broken. According to bwin's odds, Su Luo scoring over 50 goals in a season was pegged at 1.5 to 1.

It seemed everyone expected him to surpass 50 goals this season.

On the night of the match, Su Luo and his teammates celebrated at a nightclub in Manchester. Josephine arrived at the party to join Su Luo. Last time, Taylor Swift's presence had made Josephine feel a strong sense of insecurity. Competing with a superstar like Taylor was impossible, so Josephine had resolved to stay by Su Luo's side, always there to offer him her care and affection.

Lately, Su Luo had been busy with training and matches, and Josephine had been thoughtful enough to prepare nutritious meals for him. After training, she would offer to massage his legs, helping to relieve his fatigue.

Thanks to Josephine's attentiveness, Su Luo maintained his peak form on the pitch.

Four days later, in the quarterfinals of the League Cup, Chelsea faced Manchester United. Conte fielded a second-string lineup with young talents like Mount and Loftus-Cheek starting the game. However, to ensure progress to the next round, Conte also included Su Luo in the starting eleven.

Su Luo's impressive fitness and recovery rate left the older players in the team envious. Mount, who idolized Su Luo, played with exceptional energy, constantly making runs behind Manchester United's defense.

In the first half, Mount's relentless running created the perfect opportunity for Su Luo. Spotting an opening, Su Luo delivered a precise through ball that sliced through Bailly and Herrera's defense. Mount, staying just onside, capitalized on the chance, breaking through De Gea's defense with a single strike. Chelsea took the lead, 1-0!

The second half brought more of the same chemistry between Su Luo and Mount. Following a similar pattern, Mount again made his way into the penalty area. This time, however, instead of going for glory himself, he cleverly pulled the ball back and delivered a perfect inverted triangle pass to Su Luo. From the edge of the box, Su Luo's low shot found the back of the net, making it 2-0!

With stellar performances from Su Luo and Mount, Chelsea secured a 2-0 victory over Manchester United, advancing to the League Cup semi-finals. Conte couldn't help but take notice of the 17-year-old Mount. After this match, Mount was officially promoted to Chelsea's first team.

Mount is undoubtedly a young talent with immense potential. At just 17, he's already making a name for himself in English football. However, compared to Su Luo, Mount still has a long way to go. By 17, Su Luo was already the undisputed core of Union Berlin, leading them to triumph over Manchester City and securing the double. Now, at just under 19, Su Luo is one of the top players in world football.

As Chelsea prepared for the semi-finals against Hull City, expectations were high. With proper focus, a place in the final seemed almost guaranteed. On the other side of the bracket, Liverpool was set to face Southampton, likely setting up a final clash against the Reds. The Chelsea club's resolution was clear: the League Cup was a priority, and winning it, along with the Premier League, was a must for the season. While the FA Cup and Champions League were less certain, Su Luo's mind was set on the Champions League trophy. Ordinary league and cup victories no longer satisfied him.

Unfortunately, the Champions League would have to wait for over two months. In the meantime, Su Luo focused on accumulating points in the Premier League to ease the pressure when the Champions League campaign began.

In the 15th round of the Premier League, Chelsea faced West Bromwich Albion. Tony Pulis, West Brom's coach, had a reputation for building strong teams. He had previously led Stoke City to European qualification and was named Premier League Manager of the Year during his time at Crystal Palace. Now at West Brom, Pulis had transformed the team into a formidable force, moving them from the relegation zone to mid-table.

After a 14-game winning streak, Chelsea had grown somewhat complacent. West Brom's defensive counterattacks posed a significant threat to Courtois' goal multiple times. If it weren't for some heroic defending, including three crucial saves, Chelsea might have stumbled.

Thankfully, Su Luo stepped up when it mattered most. A long-range shot from outside the penalty area pierced West Brom's goal, giving Chelsea a one-goal lead and restoring their morale. In the second half, Su Luo once again took charge, breaking through three defenders on the right flank before slotting the ball into the net from a tight angle. The West Brom defenders, focused on Su Luo's right foot, were caught off guard by his ability to score with his left. The score was now 2-0!

This marked Su Luo's 33rd Premier League goal. As the game progressed, West Brom resorted to rough tackles, bringing Su Luo down multiple times. Conte, visibly worried, preferred to take the hits himself rather than see Su Luo injured. Despite the physical play, Su Luo thrived, his aggression growing with each foul.

To protect his star player, Conte substituted Su Luo in the 75th minute. In the final stages, Ajar's breakthrough led to an assist for Lukaku, who scored Chelsea's third goal. Chelsea defeated West Bromwich Albion 3-0, securing their 15th consecutive Premier League victory!

With 45 points, Chelsea remained firmly at the top of the table. Meanwhile, after losing to Chelsea, Manchester City's morale took a hit. In their away match against Leicester City, they were defeated 4-2. Vardy's hat-trick led Leicester to victory, and King Power Stadium once again echoed with the energy of their title-winning season.

Guardiola's team, now on a two-game losing streak, found themselves six points behind Chelsea. Tottenham seized the opportunity to close the gap, sitting just four points behind Manchester City. The Premier League was beginning to take shape, with Chelsea leading the pack and the rest of the teams battling for the top four spots.

If Manchester City hoped to challenge Chelsea, they could only wait for the hectic Christmas schedule to throw some hurdles in Chelsea's path.
