Through the slow-motion replay, everyone marveled once again at Su Luo's flash of inspiration.
At that moment, the angle was almost zero degrees, and most players would choose to pass the ball with their back to the goal.
The bolder ones might attempt to turn and shoot, creating a direct shot opportunity.
Su Luo dared to strike directly at the goalkeeper with a backheel flick, without even looking.
It seemed like a reckless choice, but it was actually brimming with ingenuity.
No matter how experienced the defenders were, they found it difficult to guard against such an unpredictable move!
"Su's goal once again showcased his talent. Such a brilliant stroke is also the most effective offensive method for Union Berlin!"
"Carl Sruhe's defense was nearly perfect, but they still conceded."
Kahn was elated, sensing he might win the bet.
Simon, however, remained skeptical.
"This goal had an element of luck, and we agreed on two goals."
"Just wait, there might be more."
Kahn was brimming with confidence in Su Luo.
...
The stadium of the Old Forest Management Institute echoed with the unified chant of "Eisern Union."
After Su Luo scored, the momentum was unstoppable, and the fervent singing of the Iron League fans visibly shook their opponents.
It seemed that in this stadium, there was no way to halt the firepower of the Oriental player!
Coach Kazinski became even more cautious, too scared to mount an attack.
Despite being 1-0 down, he substituted two defensive players, hoping to stabilize the defense further.
Neuhaus wasn't in a hurry; with his team leading, there was no need to make substitutions yet.
With the defense strengthened, Carl Sruhe's defense did stabilize considerably.
Union Berlin struggled to find opportunities, whether breaking through on the wings or through Su Luo.
They were also keenly aware of the danger of Su Luo's long shots.
As soon as Su Luo wound up for a shot, a defender would step in to disrupt it, even resorting to fouling.
In just 10 minutes, Carl Sruhe had already received two yellow cards for fouling Su Luo.
If Su Luo could summon free-kick experts like Beckham, Pirlo, or De Bruyne,
they would have had multiple opportunities to score.
Unfortunately, Su Luo's free-kick skills were average, and the free kick taken by captain Matuschka failed to break through the goal.
The game entered a stalemate again.
Compared to the first half, Su Luo was no longer rushing; he stayed calm.
He kept running around, ready to seize any opportunity to stack buffs, and didn't hesitate to shoot whenever he could.
After taking three shots, he felt a sense of clarity.
Near the end of the game, it became easier to trigger the state of the law of causality!
Next step, must score!
At this point, the game reached the 76th minute, and Union Berlin was falling back in their defense.
With too many defenders around Su Luo, he retreated into the center circle.
"Su is pulling back to support...Why is he retreating so deeply?"
Commentator Simon was puzzled.
Isn't a striker more threatening closer to the goal? Why is he moving away from it?
Kahn wasn't sure what would happen next, but he knew Su Luo was a player full of ideas.
Suddenly retreating to the midfield could break the tactical formation, possibly leading to something unexpected.
Fans in the stadium noticed Su Luo's movement.
He retreated near the center circle and received a pass from a teammate.
With no tight marking here, Su Luo could turn calmly and face the goal.
Ahead was Carl Sruhe's formidable defense!
Seeing this, Bud curled his lips in disdain.
Does Su Luo still think he can create opportunities from the center circle?
He's not a playmaker!
Not knowing what got into him, Bud took a deep breath and shouted towards the field.
"Schieëen!!!"
This is similar to "shoot" in English.
When players like Manchester United's Scholes had the ball outside the penalty area, fans would shout "shoot" to encourage them.
Whether the shot went in or not, it would draw thunderous applause from the crowd.
It was a fun little interaction between players and fans.
Bud was just joking, but other fans joined in.
"Schieëen!!!"
More than 20,000 people shouted in unison, creating a huge force!
Neuhaus shook his head on the sidelines,
No matter how bold Su Luo was, it was impossible for him to shoot directly from midfield... What the heck?
Coach Neuhaus was stunned for a moment.
Hearing the fans' unified shout, Su Luo really took two steps forward,
Caught off guard, he swung his leg sharply and, 40 meters away from the goal, unleashed a shot!
"Su!!! Super long-distance blast!!!"
Commentator Simon was stunned!
But is this shot too casual?
Kahn couldn't believe it, but Su Luo dared to go for it!
For a goalkeeper, facing a shot from this distance, unless the ball is faster than Roberto Carlos' shots,
There is generally enough time to make a save.
Is Su Luo really that confident?
The audience was collectively petrified; did he really take the shot?
Su Luo must really love his fans!
Anya, who had been quietly seated, couldn't contain herself any longer. She stood up and softly cheered:
"Go in!!!"
Josephine folded her hands and prayed silently:
"Please, go in!"
The camera focused only on the ball's flight, missing a close-up of Su Luo.
Otherwise, everyone would have noticed the corners of his mouth lifting in a confident smile.
"Even if Kahn and Neuer were in goal, they couldn't stop this ball!"
"Go in!!"
In Ollie Sausen's eyes, time seemed to slow down. This shot felt like it took half a century.
When the ball finally reached him, it seemed three times faster, vanishing from sight in an instant!
"What?"
He instinctively jumped, trying to touch the ball.
His fingertips barely brushed it, but he couldn't stop it!
Everyone watched as the ball hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced over the goal line!
The 40-meter strike successfully found its target!
Before the ball even hit the net, Su Luo had raised his arms in celebration!
The crowd took two full seconds to react, and then it was like a volcano erupting!
"Toooooooor!"
"Gooooal!"
"Oh! What kind of magical goal is this! Am I dreaming?"
Uncle Hans and others were wildly hugging each other!
With tears in his eyes, commentator Simon couldn't hold back his excitement:
"Su Luo's incredible goal! He extends Union Berlin's lead!"
"2 to 0!!!"
"Carl Sruhe's ironclad defense has been shattered by a stunning strike!"
"What a fantastic shot, this Oriental boy keeps creating miracles!!!"
After a while, as Simon calmed down a bit,
he saw Kahn's eyes twinkling with a knowing smile.
Kahn smiled and said: "I understand, I understand, I'll order the pizza now."
