Chapter 788: Your Performance Is Better Than Before! Keep It Up

The goalkeeper reacted, but it was too late to make the save.

The ball flew straight into the net, striking it with a crisp, satisfying sound.

Su Luo stood on the pitch with a smile on his face as his teammates looked at him with approval and admiration.

The opposing players wore grim expressions. Their defense had failed to stop Su Luo from scoring.

They realized that Su Luo was an unstoppable force—and their greatest challenge in these training matches.

His presence on Dortmund's training ground brought energy and confidence. The team knew that with Su Luo on their side, victory felt much closer.

As the sun shone down on him, Su Luo felt a deep sense of happiness.

Even after years as a professional player, he still experienced an indescribable pride whenever he earned the support and trust of his teammates.

Faced with such a talented partner, the players gradually set aside personal ambition. They began prioritizing passing to Su Luo instead of seeking their own glory.

“Su Luo! Over here!” teammates shouted loudly.

“I’m here!” Su Luo called back.

In the following minutes, another intense and exciting phase of the match unfolded.

The coach stood silently on the sidelines, watching the game with a focused expression. He could faintly hear the opposing players murmuring complaints:

"That guy is just too good..."

The coach felt proud as he watched Su Luo move with ease across the field.

Walking up to the edge of the pitch, he gave Su Luo a thumbs-up and said with encouragement, “Very good, Su Luo! Your performance is better than ever! Keep it up!”

Su Luo smiled at the coach, then turned his attention back to the game.

He knew this was the result of tireless training and discipline—but hearing praise from both coach and teammates made him feel even more proud and motivated.

His teammates passed him the ball once more.

After receiving it, he dribbled forward quickly. Several defenders rushed in to challenge him, but their efforts were in vain. Su Luo’s control over the ball was simply too precise.

As the defenders closed in, Su Luo suddenly took a shot from a tight angle—catching everyone off guard.

The goalkeeper reacted, diving quickly in an attempt to stop it.

“Shoot! Shoot!” came the excited cries from the sideline, just as the ball left Su Luo’s foot.

The moment felt frozen in time.

Su Luo’s eyes locked on the ball. He could feel every muscle in his body responding. He had to give it everything he had.

The ball soared through the air toward the target. The goalkeeper stretched out his arm—but it wasn’t enough to stop this incredible strike.

“Goal!” the coach shouted from the sideline, elated.

The ball smashed into the net with a clean, sharp impact.

Su Luo raised his arms in celebration, excitement written all over his face. His teammates rushed over to congratulate him with high-fives and cheers.

Later, in the locker room, the atmosphere was more subdued.

Su Luo sat quietly in a corner, his head lowered and brows furrowed.

Even though he had just scored a brilliant goal, he felt his overall performance hadn’t been good enough.

At that moment, Huggin Tessel came over and sat down beside him. Speaking softly, he said, “Su Luo, you’re still having some issues with your off-the-ball movement. We’ve relied heavily on your goals to win, but that’s not a sustainable strategy.”

Su Luo looked up at him, a bit ashamed. “Coach, can you tell me where my positioning went wrong?”

Coach Tessel nodded patiently and offered some analysis: “First of all, in attack, you need to be more flexible when adjusting your position. This helps create more passing and shooting opportunities.

Secondly, maintaining better synergy with your teammates throughout the game—staying aware of their movements and coordinating your runs—will open up more space and chances for you.”
