Chapter 856: It Feels Really Bad To Sit On The Bench.

He raised his head and looked carefully at his teammates.

They weren’t just teammates—they were brothers.

This team had become an inseparable part of his life.

Suddenly, Su Luo understood: their support was far more important than whether he started or not.

At that moment, Hummels walked over and gripped Su Luo’s hand tightly.

“No matter what happens, we’re here to support you. You’re our core player, and everyone knows it.”

Robert joined in.

“That’s right! Whether you start or not, you’ll give your best.”

One by one, Su Luo’s teammates stepped forward, encouraging him and showing their confidence in him.

Together with Emily, they were Su Luo’s endless sources of strength.

Su Luo sat quietly on the bench, watching the game unfold on the pitch.

Even though he wasn’t playing, he could feel the tension surrounding him.

Every possession, every pass, made his heart race and tightened his chest.

Suddenly, a Werder Bremen fan stood up and jeered at him.

“Su Luo! You belong on the bench! You’re a loser!”

Su Luo frowned, feeling the sting of the insult.

He bit his lip but forced himself to remain calm and focused under the negative pressure.

He knew he couldn’t let outside voices shake him.

On the pitch, his teammates hadn’t heard the fan’s taunts—they were too focused on the game.

Though they hadn’t directly responded, Su Luo could still feel their silent support.

Trying to shift his focus, Su Luo began watching the performance of the other substitutes.

Each of them was fully concentrated, ready to come on and make a difference.

Even though they might not shine like the starters, they had put in the same effort and dedication in their preparation.

Despite his uneasiness, Su Luo knew: only by staying focused and working hard could he earn his next opportunity.

As the match continued, Su Luo adjusted his mindset, focusing on the team’s tactics.

He analyzed the players’ movements on the field, thinking about how he could create more opportunities when his chance came.

Su Luo’s frown deepened as he watched nervously from the bench.

He could feel the tension building among the home fans, who were watching the match with bated breath.

Then, Marin, a young Dortmund player, scored with a precise shot, giving the team the lead.

Instead of feeling joy, Su Luo felt a wave of frustration.

Even though he was one of Dortmund’s most important players, he was stuck on the bench, unable to help directly.

This helplessness weighed heavily on him.

All he could do was sit there quietly, praying silently that the team could hold the lead.

The atmosphere in the stadium grew increasingly tense.

The roar of the crowd, the chants of the home fans, and the shouts of the visiting supporters blended into one deafening wave of noise.

Su Luo realized he couldn’t let himself mentally relax.

He took a deep breath to calm himself.

He knew it was important to project confidence at such critical moments. He couldn’t afford to look anxious or defeated.

Turning his head, he looked at his teammates battling on the field.

Though they were completely focused on the match, Su Luo could sense the tension in their bodies.
