Chapter 1031 I Believe We Can Defeat Any Opponent
🕑 Added 2025-10-16 13:43:34 +0000 UTC“Su Luo is like an uncut gem.”
Mendes liked to use metaphors when talking about players. “Only through hard training and concentration can he truly reveal his brilliance and potential.”
With years of experience and a keen eye for talent, Mendes was confident about Su Luo’s future. Over time, he had seen countless prodigies fall short due to a lack of discipline and self-control.
But Su Luo was different — he possessed an extraordinary level of self-discipline and focus.
“We have to keep Su Luo grounded,” Mendes said firmly, his tone full of conviction. “Amidst all the applause and praise, we must make him understand that success never falls from the sky.”
As an agent, Mendes knew better than anyone how ruthless the world of football could be. Only those who remained hardworking and focused could rise to the top.
“The key,” Mendes continued, “is to make sure Su Luo never loses his love for football. Only by finding joy in the sport and giving his heart to it can he truly reach the peak.”
The conference room fell silent. Mendes’ words lingered in the air as the others nodded thoughtfully. They all agreed, but they also knew how difficult it was for young players to maintain such calmness and clarity in the spotlight.
Morning sunlight streamed through the café window, casting a warm glow on Su Luo’s face.
He had just finished a cup of strong coffee, and on the table sat a half-eaten slice of bread with butter and jam — breakfast prepared by Robert and Hagen.
The café had long been their favorite meeting spot — a place where teammates and friends gathered to share their dreams, frustrations, and little stories from life on and off the pitch.
“Su Luo, I heard the coach has something important to announce before training today,” Hagen said playfully, handing Su Luo a piece of dark chocolate. “Don’t forget, you’re the one leading us to victory.”
Su Luo smiled and accepted the chocolate. “Don’t be so dramatic, Hagen. Everyone knows you’re the real iron captain around here.”
Robert joined in with a grin. “Actually, I’ve heard a few rumors too. They say the coach is planning some tactical adjustments — maybe we’ll get more chances to break through our opponents’ defense.”
“No matter what happens, we have to give our best,” Su Luo replied seriously.
He had always emphasized teamwork over individual heroics and stayed calm even as expectations for him continued to rise.
“In my eyes, football isn’t a stage for one person,” he continued. “It’s a battlefield where unity and cooperation decide victory.”
“You’re right,” Hagen nodded. “Only when everyone understands each other perfectly can we build a truly powerful team.”
Su Luo looked out the window toward the direction of the training ground.
“We’ve been through tough years — injuries, setbacks, and challenges. But now we have a solid squad and some promising new players. As long as everyone stays focused and confident, and remembers the value of teamwork, I believe we can defeat any opponent.”
Both Hagen and Robert nodded firmly in agreement.
After Su Luo became the team’s core, expectations from fans and the media grew — but so did the pressure on his teammates. Still, their shared belief in each other kept Dortmund strong.
Later that day, Su Luo walked into a sports goods store in Dortmund and felt an instant sense of familiarity.
He had always liked coming here — it was a place filled with the enthusiasm of fans, where shelves were lined with the jerseys, scarves, and memorabilia of their beloved club.
