When news of Su Luo's €155 million transfer to Chelsea broke, the loudest reactions came not from Chelsea fans, but from the English media.
Last season, Su Luo led Union Berlin to double victories over both Arsenal and Manchester City, making his mark across Britain. Everyone remembered the Chinese player who scored goals with ease. However, the proud English were reluctant to admit that Premier League teams were weaker than their Bundesliga counterparts. Instead, they chalked up Ars...

The Old Forest Administration Stadium, also known as the Old Forestry Office Side Stadium, was established nearly 100 years ago and has been renovated twice. The stands can accommodate 22,000 spectators. For a top league stadium, this capacity is quite modest.
Despite its size, this stadium holds great significance. Here, fans witnessed Union Berlin's first-ever promotion to the Bundesliga and the "Miracle in East Berlin" when the newly promoted team won the Bundesliga double. They als...

Throughout the charity dinner, Su Luo was a little absent-minded. All he could think about was his team. To be honest, Su Luo didn't care about joining the giants; as long as he could play in the Champions League and compete against strong opponents, that was enough. If possible, Su Luo would like to play for Union Berlin for a few more years. It didn't matter if the stadium and training facilities were outdated; the fans there were truly special to him. Su Luo had come to see this place as h...

The summer of 2016 was bustling with excitement. With the European Cup expanding to 24 teams, the Copa América celebrating its 100th anniversary, and the Rio Olympics on the horizon, the major European leagues wrapped up their seasons with plenty of drama.
The Bundesliga concluded with suspense, and soon after, the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and Ligue 1 all reached their finales.
In La Liga, there wasn't much suspense. Although Real Madrid was just 1 point behind Barcelo...

Allianz Arena, Munich, Germany
Thomas Müller stood on the field, staring blankly, the football under his feet seemingly disobedient. Facing the defense of the Hannover defender, Müller sent the ball straight over the touchline.
Gotze, on the other side, spread his hands towards Müller, confused.
Müller quickly snapped out of it and apologized. He had mistaken a Bayern ball boy in a red jersey on the sidelines for a player on the field.

Robin felt she had heard something significant. She quickly wrote it down in her notebook and asked curiously,
"Pyrobroin particles, what are they?"
"Oh, that..."
Grigio thought for a moment before explaining,
"Since you come from the Blue Sea, you should be familiar with seastone, right?"
Robin nodded, and then heard something truly incredible.
"Pyrobroin particles are a component of seastone. They are hidden deep underground in the Blue Sea. They ar...

As Gnar's order was issued, the entire Sky Island underwent tremendous changes.
First of all, the Sky People learned that they had a new god: God Gnar.
The former god, Ganfor, returned to Sky Island under the title of Sky Knight, and Sky Island became the center of the Sky People’s domain.
Shellfish salvaging and cloud manufacturing factories were halted, and every household's excess shellfish, weapons, and ships were confiscated by the God's Guard.
This caused p...

Looking at the Sandian chief sitting opposite him, Ganfor, covered in bandages, sighed.
"How many years has it been, Grichoel, since we've been able to sit and talk face to face?"
Unfortunately, Grichoel did not respond kindly. Without even opening his eyes, he said, "You are mistaken, Ganfor. I am not here for you but for the agreement between our ancestors and Mr. Montblanc Rolando."
The five great warriors behind Grichoel a...

There are still 30 minutes left in the Bundesliga season.
Union Berlin 0-0 Augsburg; Bayern Munich 1-0 Hannover, and they have a penalty!
Thomas Müller steps up to the penalty spot, holding the ball. His face is calm, with his usual smile. But if you look closely, you can see his hands trembling slightly. Even Müller is feeling the pressure.
Scoring this penalty would put great pressure on Union Berlin, potentially causing them to make mistakes and lose the championship...

There is an embarrassing question. Although Su Luo had accumulated enough anger after the first round against Atletico Madrid and awakened his unparalleled mode, he seemed to have no chance to use it.
Union Berlin narrowly lost to Atletico Madrid at home and stopped in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Only the Bundesliga remained.
Before the final round, Su Luo's ankle injury had just healed. He could walk without crutches but definitely couldn’t engage in strenuous ex...

Above the dense woods, among the towering vines, lies the residence of the gods of Sky Island through the ages: the Shrine of the Gods.
However, today the Shrine of the Gods had a new owner.
What was seen was a huge courtyard filled with a Wanokuni style.
The surrounding God Guards responsible for its protection were all silent, not daring to make the slightest sound.
As the god of this generation, Ganfor was bandaged all ...

Although he knew that Gnar, who had a bounty of 1.45 billion beli and was known as the Blood Emperor, possessed unimaginable strength, witnessing it firsthand felt like witnessing a natural disaster.
Seeing such a scene, he realized his imagination had fallen short. He had no doubt that Gnar could destroy the entire Sky Isla...

White Sea, Sky Island.
Sky Island is an island located on a sea of clouds. Despite being 10,000 meters above sea level, the people of Sky Island know much about the sea below: the Blue Sea. They are aware of pirates and even the existence of Devil Fruits.
The reason for this knowledge is simple. Besides the extremely dangerous soaring sea currents, there is another route from the sea below to Sky Island called: HIGHWEST. Though this route is treacherous and narr...

Heavy and rapid breathing filled the deck of the Skylander.
The bright sunshine illuminated the deck, and Robin, Zala, and Kuli Guy looked extremely uncomfortable, gasping for air and unable to move.
"What's going on? Why do I feel so uncomfortable?" Zala panted.
"I feel out of breath!" Robin added.
Gnar, who was already prepared, responded calmly.

Zephyr frowned deeply. He knew it was a lie. Although his strength had waned with age, he could still distinguish between the real body and the clone. But he also unders...

Union Berlin beat Atletico Madrid 1-0 away.
Su Luo's volley near the left touchline in the first half became the focus of media discussions. Despite suffering an injury from Gabby’s tackle, Su Luo didn’t roll around on the grass. Instead, he stood up and completed the goal under the pressure of two defenders. This fighting spirit earned him praise from all the media.
Previously, everyone saw Su Luo as a high-scoring, smart, and clear-minded player. Now, they also saw him as ...

"Diego, do we need to adjust? Should we make a final push in the first half and try to steal a goal?" asked Germain Bourg, Simeone's assistant, from the home team's bench at Calderón Stadium.
With halftime approaching, the players might lose focus. Typically, Atletico Madrid capitalizes on their opponent's slack during the latter part of the first half to score. It was a familiar scoring routine for them.
But Diego Simeone shook his head, frowning. "No, we need to stabilize the...

As they covered their youthful and graceful bodies with blankets and slowly stood up, they glanced at each other, their faces flushed with ...

In fact, if Gnar used the fruit’s ability at this moment, he could easily detect Robin’s thoughts. However, he refrained from doing so because he didn’t want a puppet who merely catered to him. What he needed was a partner—a woman with her own mind.
He might have considered that when he first met Robin, but now he didn’t need to.
For women, he had moved beyond merely quenching his thirst. Now, he valued the sweetness of genuine connection.

If we had to select the best coach in Europe for that season, it wouldn't be Ancelotti, who won the Champions League, nor Guardiola, who led Bayern to victory. Instead, it would be Diego Simeone, the coach who led Atletico Madrid to a La Liga championship and a Champions League runner-up finish.
