Chapter 224 Shut Up White Hart Lane! Lao Tzu Is The King Here!

At White Hart Lane, the atmosphere was electric as Tottenham led Chelsea 2-0 at halftime!

In the 35th minute, Tottenham capitalized on a right-side cross, with Dele Alli scoring the first goal. Just before the break, Alli displayed his creativity again, dribbling past two Chelsea defenders and then cleverly using his heel to pass the ball back to Eriksen. Unmarked and with plenty of space, Eriksen took a precise shot that Courtois could not reach.

"Brilliant assist by Alli! His vision and creativity have shone through tonight," exclaimed the Sky Sports commentator. "With performances like these, Alli could soon be on par with the world's best!"

Dele Alli was indeed one of the hottest players in England. His talent was undeniable, and while he wasn't quite at Su Luo's level yet, fans were hopeful that with more experience, he could reach those heights.

If Su Luo knew the extent of this admiration, he might have chuckled. Alli's approach to training and his temperament meant that maintaining consistency was a challenge. With a bit more dedication, Alli might avoid the rapid decline that some players face.

Tottenham's defense had been impressive. They had managed to use rough fouls to disrupt Chelsea's rhythm, and the referee seemed lenient. By halftime, Tottenham was comfortably ahead.

During the break, Carragher and Gary Neville, usually fierce rivals, debated the first half's performance.

Carragher was critical of Chelsea. "The Chelsea players have been too complacent. Their 19-game winning streak may have led them to underestimate Tottenham. With Kante missing, their midfield defense is weaker, and players like Matic and Cesc Fabregas have been lackluster."

"Matic has been too casual, and Cesc has been inadequate defensively. The team is relying heavily on Su Luo to make up for these deficiencies. For instance, Su's solo effort was impressive, but his teammates didn't support him adequately."

Neville countered, "Tottenham also has issues. Their defense is solid, but their wing-backs are not covering well. If Chelsea can exploit the spaces between the lines and make the right adjustments in the second half, they might still turn this around."

Carragher shook his head. "Given Chelsea's current form, even if they find openings, it will be hard to capitalize on them."

Neville replied, "Su Luo can definitely seize the opportunity."

As the argument heated up, Martin Taylor tried to mediate but had to pause the discussion for a commercial break.

With Tottenham leading 2-0, their fans grew even more boisterous. The Chelsea players were met with boos and taunts as they walked back onto the field.

"Come on, Matic, you're as leaky as a sieve!"

"Eden Hazard, where are you? You're like a ghost on the field!"

The chants took a racist turn as well, particularly targeting Su Luo. Fans threw objects, including coins, at him. One coin nearly struck Su Luo in the head, but he managed to catch it in time.

"Su, this is unacceptable. We should report this to the FA," Azpilicueta said, visibly upset.

Su Luo, with a wry smile, replied, "I'll handle it. Let's focus on the game."

As the second half kicked off, Chelsea dominated possession, maintaining over 60% of the ball. Tottenham, comfortable with their 2-goal lead, played defensively and looked to counterattack. With sharp plays from Son Heung-min, Kane, Alli, and Eriksen, Chelsea could not afford to push too high.

Su Luo, isolated up front, found himself retreating often to seek opportunities. He kept a close eye on the field, trying to exploit any gaps in Tottenham's defense.

Finally, he spotted a potential opening in Tottenham's defense.

In the 60th minute of the second half, Tottenham launched a counterattack after winning the ball. Alli broke into the penalty area and took a low shot. Courtois dived to the ground and grabbed the ball just in time.

Seeing Su Luo making a signal and sprinting forward, Courtois quickly stood up and threw the ball to him.

Wanyama rushed forward to intercept, but Su Luo didn't slow down at all! As the ball was about to hit the ground, Su Luo was slightly ahead of the trajectory. He had to stop and turn to catch it, but Wanyama tried to block him.

Instead of stopping, Su Luo executed a brilliant move. With the ball in mid-air, he struck it with his heel, sending it in a perfect arc past Wanyama's defense.

Su Luo continued his run, elegantly catching the ball and completing the pass.

"A juggling masterpiece! Su Luo's ball control is both stunning and efficient!" Zhan Jun exclaimed with excitement.

Chinese fans watching the game in the middle of the night erupted in cheers. Su Luo's impressive moves were quickly turning him into a national hero.

In China, he is a household name. Worldwide, including in Germany, England, and Southeast Asia, he has attracted a massive following. His fan base on platforms like Instagram and Twitter has surpassed 100 million.

His dazzling performance would surely be turned into GIFs and shared across the internet.

After bypassing Wanyama, the path ahead was clear. However, Ajar, Pedro, Moses, and others rushed to support, but if Su Luo slowed down, the counterattack would become a positional battle.

Su Luo didn't slow down. He sprinted towards the gap between the defenders. Dembele came in from the side, but Su Luo deftly changed direction, dodged the tackle, and continued dribbling towards the edge of the penalty area.

Dier and Vertonghen teamed up to challenge him, but Su Luo didn't veer away. He shifted his weight, slipping between the two defenders with impressive agility.

As Vertonghen was slightly off balance, Su Luo sped past him. With nimble feet, Su Luo managed to weave past Dier and, with a powerful surge, entered the penalty area.

"Su Luo breaks through the defense and charges into the penalty area! He's unstoppable!"

"Lloris abandons the goal and tries to coordinate with Vertonghen to stop Su Luo!"

With a sudden stop and a quick turn, Su Luo evaded three defenders, took a step towards the goal line, and executed a lob shot from a tight angle!

The ball soared perfectly under the crossbar and into the net. White Hart Lane fell silent.

"There's the goal!" Zhan Jun shouted, his frustration from earlier in the game finally released.

Su Luo had dismantled Tottenham's defense with his brilliance. His talents were on full display when the team needed him most.

"Su Luo beats five defenders to score a crucial goal!" Zhan Jun announced.

"Tottenham's defense couldn't handle him!"

The Sky Sports studio guests were stunned. Martin Taylor admitted that while Alli was strong, Su Luo's performance surpassed expectations.

"Su Luo, a perfect performance! He scored a stunning goal in the first game of the season!"

"This is his 43rd Premier League goal, a remarkable achievement!"

"Tottenham was struck at a critical moment, and Chelsea's morale has surged!"

Martin Taylor hoped that Tottenham could withstand Chelsea's pressure, but it was clear Chelsea was dominating.

Indeed, Su Luo's goal had boosted Chelsea's spirits, leading to strong pressure on Tottenham's penalty area. Their high pressing and possession play kept Tottenham on the defensive.

Su Luo continued to contribute, and Cesc Fabregas created several opportunities.

"Lloris makes a crucial save outside the box! Chelsea earns their third corner of the second half!"

"Tottenham is struggling. If they can hang on, they might turn the game around. If not, Chelsea will capitalize on the situation!"

In a desperate move, Fabregas took a tactical corner. Ajar burst down the left flank, bypassed Kyle Walker, and created chaos in the penalty area.

With so many players crowded in front of the goal, Ajar passed the ball without knowing exactly who would receive it. A defender could accidentally score an own goal.

At the crucial moment, a blue figure flashed into the small area and stretched out a foot.

"Su Luo's poke shot! The ball's in!"

"Chelsea's resilient equalizer! Su Luo scores again!"

Su Luo's instinctive positioning led him to the most dangerous spot. White Hart Lane fell silent once more.

After scoring, Su Luo ran towards the home team's stands, putting his index finger to his lips in a gesture that silenced the Tottenham fans.

He then cupped his hand to his ear, provoking the fans further.

"What happened to all the noise? I can't hear you now!"
