"I can't even find the words to describe Su Luo. He's an incredible player," Conte said after the match. "To be honest, Crystal Palace really put pressure on us tonight, especially on our goal."
"But in the end, we came out on top!"
"Su Luo was the key to our success. He made a huge difference tonight and made the game easier for us."
"We believe Su Luo will lead Chelsea to the Premier League title!"
As the Crystal Palace game concluded, Chelsea's next challenge was right around the corner: the third round of the Champions League group stage.
Their opponent? AS Roma.
Currently sitting fourth in Serie A, Roma is no pushover. This is a match Chelsea simply cannot afford to lose, as Roma is also a strong contender for advancing from the group.
October 19th. Stamford Bridge Stadium.
The stage was set, and excitement filled the air as the fans packed the stands. At the pre-match press conference, Chelsea's coach, Conte, was brimming with confidence.
"We're going to put Roma under a lot of pressure in this game," he declared. "They're a strong team, and with Di Francesco leading them, they've been performing well."
"But let's not forget—this is Stamford Bridge. Tonight, Chelsea players will be defending our home turf with everything they've got!"
At 8:10 p.m., the starting players for both teams stepped onto the pitch, greeted by the thunderous applause of Chelsea fans who had been eagerly awaiting this showdown.
Shortly after, commentator Zhan Jun announced the starting lineups:
"Chelsea is playing in a 3-5-2 formation. Here's how they line up:
Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois
Three defenders: Azpilicueta, Christensen, Gary Cahill
Five midfielders: Zappacosta, Cesc Fabregas, David Luiz, Bakayoko, and Marcos Alonso
Two forwards: Lukaku and Su Luo."
He continued, "As for Roma, they're starting with a 4-3-3 formation:
Goalkeeper: Alisson Becker
Four defenders: Kolarov, Juan Jesus, Fazio, Bruno Peres
Three midfielders: Strootman, Gonalons, Nainggolan
Three forwards: Perotti, Dzeko, and Gerson."
"The battle is about to begin!"
Chelsea, playing on their home turf, quickly took control of the game, setting the rhythm and establishing their intent to secure all three points.
Once again, Su Luo's individual skill was on full display. Chelsea's offensive prowess was sharp, and Su Luo was in fantastic form, as he often is.
In most games, Su Luo manages to give Chelsea an early advantage.
And this time was no different.
Receiving a pass from Fabregas in midfield, Su Luo wasted no time. In a flash, he surged toward Roma's goal, his explosive power cutting through the defense.
Roma's players scrambled to disrupt him, but Su Luo was unstoppable...
