In the stands of the Etihad Stadium, Chelsea fans grew anxious.
They knew very well that if the game continued at this pace, Manchester City would annihilate Chelsea.
On the sidelines, Coach Conte also looked unsettled, his anxiety evident in his behavior.
From the performance in these ten minutes alone, it was clear that the two teams were no longer on the same competitive level.
Manchester City's players displayed seamless teamwork, running actively and cooperating effortlessly.
Once City gained control of the ball, it became extremely difficult for Chelsea to win it back.
Five minutes later—
In the 25th minute of the game,
Manchester City's offensive core, Bernardo Silva, once again showcased his talent. After a series of quick direction changes, he delivered a lethal pass at the top of the penalty area.
In an instant,
The ball landed at the feet of No. 10, Sergio Agüero.
Chelsea's defensive system was completely dismantled in that moment. Without hesitation, Agüero raised his foot and struck the ball with power.
Three to one!!
As soon as the score reached 3-1,
The Etihad Stadium erupted into chaos.
Fans chanted the names of Agüero and De Bruyne, their excitement reaching its peak.
There was no denying it—
The performances of these two players tonight were nearly flawless.
Using their exceptional individual abilities, they had given Manchester City a commanding lead.
Inside the live broadcast studio of Qingqiu.com,
Commentator Zhan Jun's face was filled with helplessness.
He knew just how difficult this match had become.
"Chelsea is now completely at a disadvantage. There is no doubt that if they want to win at Manchester City's home ground tonight, they'll need nothing short of a miracle.
"Of course, there is another way—to give the ball to Su Luo and rely entirely on his individual brilliance!"
Put all your hopes on Su Luo and pray that he can create a miracle.
To be honest,
It had been a long time since Su Luo faced such a challenging match. Fortunately, there was still plenty of time left for him to make a difference.
Even though Manchester City had taken a 3-1 lead,
That didn't mean they would still be ahead at the final whistle!
Because of this,
Su Luo remained personally confident.
However, after the restart, Su Luo did not position himself as a traditional forward. Instead, he deviated from the norm and roamed deeper into midfield, actively participating in defensive plays.
Opportunities come to those who are prepared.
Even in midfield, Su Luo used his experience to help Chelsea earn a valuable penalty.
37th minute of the game—
Near the penalty area, Su Luo leaned against City's center-back and successfully received Lampard's through ball. Then—
With a sudden flick of his heel, Su Luo redirected the ball while spinning around at lightning speed.
In an instant, he escaped the center-back's marking. Just as he was about to shoot, another City defender lunged in from behind with a reckless tackle.
The referee immediately blew the whistle—
A yellow dot package!
Yellow card plus penalty!
The moment Su Luo was taken down, both Chelsea fans and Chinese fans watching the live broadcast held their breath. Fortunately, he wasn't injured.
At the penalty spot,
Chelsea's designated penalty taker, Eden Hazard, stepped up.
With composure, he converted the spot-kick, pulling one back for Chelsea.
Three to two!
However, Chelsea was still trailing.
In fact, Su Luo could have taken the penalty himself, but for him, scoring goals was no longer his priority.
At this moment, he had only one goal—
To win the game at all costs!!
